From then on, all the notorious local ghosts and evil spirits panicked. "Have you heard? Zhou the Exploiter's haunted house is short-staffed again. He's coming to fleece us!" "Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, save us! Let us be reincarnated, send us to the underworld, anything! We don't want to work like pack mules for Zhou the Exploiter!" When interviewed, Zhou Ping'an looked completely innocent. "There must be some misunderstanding. We're a legitimate business. We help evil spirits turn over a new leaf, and we provide jobs so everyone can live comfortably. If you don't believe me, ask my employees." Former West City evil ghost, now [Master of Figurines]: "Boss Zhou is right. We're a legitimate business, and we're the most ethical around." Former seductive painted-skin ghost, now [Makeup Guru]: "+1" Former Tushan fox spirit, now [Beloved National Pet]: "+2" Former mirage demon, now [Special Effects Expert]: "+3" Countless little ghosts and demons enthusiastically chimed in: "+10086!! That's right! All ghost and demon friends are welcome to apply. Fengdu Haunted House welcomes you!" After the interview, all the ghosts gathered in front of Zhou Ping'an. The ghosts: "Boss, we did a pretty good job acting just now, right? We can definitely trick a lot of ghosts into joining. Please give us a raise!" Zhou Ping'an: "Well done! The future of our haunted house rests in your hands!" Coming soon: Idol of the Metaphysics World Lu Chao, a once-in-a-century genius in the world of metaphysics, decides to debut as a celebrity.
