Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 19 - Astonishment (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

A peaceful night passed without a word.

The ghost that followed Dou Dou last night was cautious and did not appear again.

Although Dou Dou watched cartoons all night, she was still full of energy.

As soon as Shen Siyuan got up, she gathered around him.

"Potato~ can I see my mom today?"

She was full of anticipation.

"Yes, you can see her today," Shen Siyuan gave her a definitive answer.

The little one immediately cheered and jumped around the room.

The flame on her head swung with her movements, looking very cute.

After washing up, Shen Siyuan picked up the keys to the electric scooter and left the house, with Dou Dou quickly following behind him.

At first, she sat behind Shen Siyuan on the scooter, hugging his waist.

Later, she found out that she could turn into a Yin Wind and fly in the sky, which was faster and more enjoyable.

She flew around Shen Siyuan, stirring up gusts of Yin Wind.

"It feels quite cool; when it gets hot, I'll call you out to fan me," Shen Siyuan said with a laugh.

Dou Dou took it seriously and patted her small chest, indicating that she was super powerful.

Along the way, they encountered many ghostly souls wandering on the roadside. Seeing Dou Dou, they all kept a distance and did not dare to get close.

It is said that ghosts are afraid of sunlight, but this is not correct. In both the Great Wilderness and modern times, ghosts don't fear sunlight; it just makes them slightly uncomfortable without much effect.

Since ghosts exist, it means they are within the rules of the world, just like people; they cannot possibly be afraid of the moon.

Moreover, if ghosts were afraid of the sun, then in the Great Wilderness, the power of the Jiuyou Demon Lord would probably be halved, and he could only appear at night.

But these ghosts, who weren't afraid of the sun, were afraid of Dou Dou because the flame on her body made them uncomfortable from afar, which was an instinctive fear from their souls.

"Wow, there's a big monster over there."

Dou Dou, floating in the air, exclaimed and fell to the ground, hiding behind Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan looked over and saw a creature resembling a toad hiding in the shade of the trees, stealing glances this way.

Shen Siyuan was not surprised, for it was a ghost that struggled to maintain its human form.

Since he began seeing ghosts, he had encountered countless strange and bizarre ones.

There was a long-tongue ghost whose tongue drooped to its chest, a faceless ghost with no face at all, a many-eyed ghost covered with eyes, and even one that resembled a hanging root...

"You don't have to be afraid; they should be the ones scared of you."

Shen Siyuan felt quite helpless, fortunate that he didn't need to command the little one against enemies.

"Why would they be afraid of me?" Dou Dou was puzzled.

"I look so cute and I'm not a bad kid."

"I think you're a silly kid. Haven't you noticed that all these ghosts have been avoiding you along the way?"

Dou Dou shook her head, not understanding, and floated back into mid-air.

"Because you're different from them," Shen Siyuan said seriously.

Dou Dou blinked her big eyes, looked down at her small hand, and then her hand suddenly burst into flames, blue fire ascending, licking the air and a cold chill rising around her.

"Am I very powerful now?" Dou Dou looked up at Shen Siyuan.

"Yes, you are very powerful now, that's why they are all afraid of you."

"But I'm a good kid, I don't fight," Dou Dou earnestly said.

Shen Siyuan: ...

It seems this little one could only be a mascot, utterly useless.

"Shen Siyuan."

Just then, a greeting interrupted the conversation between Shen Siyuan and Dou Dou.

Zhou Zhengdao caught up from behind on his electric scooter.

"Morning." Shen Siyuan greeted him.

"How's it going, have you finished your business plan?" Zhou Zhengdao asked straight away.

Ever since that day when Ding Youguang discussed the grand money-making scheme with Shen Siyuan, Shen Siyuan didn't delay, immediately discussing it with Zhou Zhengdao.

To his surprise, Zhou Zhengdao was even more enthusiastic and excited than Shen Siyuan and believed the endeavor was feasible with a high chance of success.

In his words, working routinely every day was boring, and now that there was an opportunity to make money, he wouldn't miss it.

"It'll be ready today. But have you talked to Li Qunfang?"

Shen Siyuan hadn't approached Li Qunfang. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but Zhou Zhengdao took the initiative to deal with it.

His relationship with Li Qunfang was better than that of Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan only interacted with Li Qunfang during holiday events, while Zhou Zhengdao often communicated with her due to project development, which naturally put him on better terms with her.

Moreover, in Li Qunfang's view, Zhou Zhengdao held more weight than Shen Siyuan.

There was a hierarchy of disdain within the company. Programmers were at the top, while those responsible for revenue and operations were at the bottom, even below those in charge of channels.

So, his chances of persuading Li Qunfang were definitely higher than Shen Siyuan's.

"There's no problem when I take charge; she's already agreed to join us."

"That's great, without her, this couldn't happen. Create a chat group today, and we'll discuss it together." Shen Siyuan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Alright, I'll create one when we get to the office. You bring Ding Youguang in too, it was his initiative, I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet."

When Zhou Zhengdao said this, it was an expression of trust in Shen Siyuan.

"Mm, we still need to meet and talk. Let him treat us to a meal."

"How about tonight?"

"Can't do tonight, I've got plans."

"Then let's make it next week. It's not great to call out Li Qunfang, the only girl, on a rest day with three guys, plus I'll be resting at home these next few days and will just be finishing up the fishing game demo..."

"But you'd better give me the plan this morning, so I can check the logic and such in the afternoon. Otherwise, I might have to bother you on our day off..."

"Sure, no problem."

Zhou Zhengdao was very meticulous in his work and comprehensive in his thinking. Even if he wasn't a programmer, he still would have made a good leader; he was great at coordinating and seldom made mistakes.

While they were talking, Dou Dou had descended from the air and seated herself behind Shen Siyuan, wrapping her arms around his waist and curiously sizing up Zhou Zhengdao beside them.

When they arrived at the company and parked their bikes, they were about to walk to the company entrance when they ran into Ding Youguang.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhou, good morning." He greeted enthusiastically, waving from a distance.

He knew Zhou Zhengdao, though not as well as Shen Siyuan did.

Zhou Zhengdao smiled, nodded, and said good morning.

But Shen Siyuan joked, "Why say 'Mr.'. You don't even call me 'Brother'."

"If this works out, not just 'Brother,' but you can even call me 'Daddy'."

Ding Youguang, who lacked any sense of shame, cast a glance at both of them, then sent an inquiring look to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan nodded, "Zhou Zhengdao agreed to join us, and he's also sorted out the artist for us."

"Really? That's fantastic! Brother Zhou, you've been a huge help. With you onboard, this is bound to succeed. Have you had breakfast? I have an extra..."

Ding Youguang immediately cozied up to Zhou Zhengdao, his enthusiasm almost too much for Zhou Zhengdao to handle.

"How come you're not asking me?"

"Move aside, don't interfere with me bonding with my 'Brother'..."

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way to the elevator. When the elevator opened, there was Jiang Wenxin, who had come up from the garage in her car.

Seeing Shen Siyuan, her eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Si Yuan, have you had breakfast? I have extra."

Ding Youguang and Zhou Zhengdao turned their heads in unison, looking at Shen Siyuan with wide eyes.

PS: Chapter eight has been slightly modified, with four gold bricks, and the protagonist took one, which seems more reasonable.
