How can it be that the eighty-third-generation heir of some obscure Daoist sect is about to starve to death the moment he transmigrates?!
Shi An slaps the table. How could he let that happen?
"I'll show you all the good stuff from ancient Blue Star. Alliance citizens, get ready to pay to watch! Heh heh heh!"
He hasn't even had time to rehearse what he's going to perform, and he's already got a job.
He has no idea why there are ghosts in the interstellar age, let alone a female ghost wearing embroidered shoes! Wait, do people still hold traditional Chinese weddings these days?
"Water of the north, under the sign of Ren and Gui! By the name of the Water God, Xuanwu of the Northern Palace, heed my command! Appear!" A huge phantom of Xuanwu emerges in the air and bears down on the ghost.
After dealing with the evil spirit and saving a life, Shi An casually opens the live-stream room he had started earlier.
"Is this some new thing those old geezers at the Alliance Research Center came up with?"
"What do you know? This is immortal magic! The streamer must have inherited the legacy of ancient Blue Star."
"Streamer, do another magic trick!"
Shi An: ...
Who knew the person he'd just saved would immediately cling to him?
They insist that he join their team to catch ghosts.
Well, they do pay him. Money talks.
But as their assignments keep coming, involving things like buried sacrifices and puppet theater, who exactly is deliberately creating these evil spirits?
"Teach me."
"I've told you, you don't have the talent for it!" Another day of being clung to by Mu Yu. Why does this guy keep putting on a cold face while acting so clingy?
Shi An pulls Mu Yu, who's standing right in front of him and blocking his view, aside. "Don't interrupt my lesson."
Mu Yu: He drags over a little stool and sits behind Shi An, watching the people below.
The subordinates below: Boss, stop staring! Your wife is the one who's supposed to teach us! This has nothing to do with us!
Note: There will be some horror elements, but overall this is mainly a fun power fantasy. The love interest is a bit of a show-off.
This idea came about in April 2023.
