Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!

Chapter 19: A Shocked Innkeeper! Contract Acquired!

Clatter!

Lin Yu threw one hundred strings of ghost copper coins onto the ground, the coins forming two small mounds at his feet!

He hadn’t casually added those extra fifty strings!

Ever since seeing his reward included a perfect-level ghost binding contract, and encountering that powerful cook, Lin Yu had been thinking about how to bring him under his command!

After all, being able to instantly kill Madam Zhang like that was not something any ordinary ghost could do!

The perfect-level ghost-binding contract would ignore the gap between him and the cook, and the cook seemed to have a good impression of him, so forming a contract shouldn’t be too difficult!

The real challenge was how to get the innkeeper’s consent!

From the clues he’d gathered from the old accountant ghost, Madam Zhang, and the cook himself, it seemed they worked at Yellow Springs Inn under restrictions similar to a ghost binding contract!

The innkeeper was stunned when she saw the pile of shining coins Lin Yu had laid on the ground!

Although Yellow Springs Inn and all her assets combined were worth far more than one hundred strings of ghost copper coins, she’d never seen anyone casually throw that amount onto the floor!

Anyone with common sense knew there was a big difference between having a million in assets and a million in cash!

The sight of those coins truly shocked the innkeeper!

She couldn’t help but sit up, no longer reclining.

Her interest was piqued.

Although she didn’t know why he wanted that big oaf… for the innkeeper, he wasn’t irreplaceable!

A cook could always be replaced!

Although she had brought him back from a deeper place and his strength was undeniable, she didn’t really need any helpers within the inn!

After weighing her options, she looked at Lin Yu through the veil with a spark of interest in her eyes.

But she still feigned reluctance.

“Well… the cook has been with me for years, and what kind of inn doesn’t have a cook…” She licked her lips as she spoke. “You’ll have to add more money!”

Lin Yu smiled at her words.

More money? That is the easiest thing to provide!

If the innkeeper truly refused to let the cook go, there would be nothing he could do!

But as long as she was willing to let him go… money was no object!

“System, another million!”

Another hundred strings of ghost copper coins appeared, which Lin Yu promptly tossed onto the ground!

The clinking of the coins echoed as they collided!

The pure ghostly energy surged, and the mound of copper coins grew larger!

“With an extra hundred strings, is the innkeeper satisfied now?” Lin Yu’s lavish display left the innkeeper completely speechless!

When someone casually produced one hundred fifty strings of ghost copper coins… whatever he wanted, you’d be wise to sell it to him immediately!

To a ghost, wealth and power were practically synonymous!

If you didn’t want to sell… chances were he had ways to take what he wanted without negotiation!

The innkeeper swallowed hard, “Then… it’s a deal!”

She waved her hand.

In the corner, a tattered yellow paper appeared, with two lines written in dark red vermillion.

Its quality was nowhere near “perfect level”!

“Zhu Jiang willingly serves as an agent of the Yellow Springs Inn owner.

“This contract will expire once Zhu Jiang earns ten thousand strings of ghost copper coins for Yellow Springs Inn.”

Seeing the conditions, Lin Yu couldn’t help but gape.

“Ten thousand strings of ghost copper coins — that’s ten million ghost coins… It’s clearly a trap!”

Securing the cook for just one hundred fifty strings showed that, in the innkeeper’s mind, the cook ghost, “Zhu Jiang,” wasn’t worth nearly that much!

Judging by the inn’s most expensive dish costing only a hundred coins or so… the innkeeper had never intended for Zhu Jiang to leave!

The vague term “earn” didn’t even clarify whether it meant net or gross profit!

The cook’s freedom was likely just an empty promise!

“I can’t be so heartless… hm, I’ll specify that this contract is permanent!” Lin Yu thought to himself!

No false promises, so there would be no disappointment later on!

Besides, enjoying fine wine and cooking powerful ghosts daily with him would be far better

than staying in this small inn, drinking cheap wine, and eating human flesh!

“All you need to do is destroy this, and the cook will be free!” The innkeeper told Lin Yu, reminding him, “However, I can’t guarantee he’ll agree to sign a new contract with you!”

Lin Yu smiled at her reminder.

“No need for you to worry about that. I have my ways!”

With a bottle of Nine Nether Spirit Cleansing Wine and a few good words, he was sure the cook would follow him!

Putting away the yellowed contract, Lin Yu seemed to remember something, and asked.

“By the way, innkeeper… If I wanted a contract with you, or to buy the entire Yellow Springs Inn, how much would that cost?”

The innkeeper heard Lin Yu’s question, ready to demand an exorbitant price she thought he couldn’t afford.

But as the words reached her lips, the innkeeper suddenly thought… there was no telling what price he might actually be willing to pay!
