Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Chapter 1417 A Lively Desolation

In terms of quantity, this pile consists of three stacks, each with around ten thousand units.

"So, the treasure chest buried in the tomb only contained 30,000 ghost money?"

Xiaoye was somewhat surprised, but more than that, she was somewhat disappointed.

Located in space, in a mysterious abandoned land, there are treasure chests buried beneath tombstones, locks sealed with eerie energy, and ornately decorated jewels...

No matter how you look at it, it must contain rare treasures.

The presence of even a few reinforced crystals was entirely expected.

But when I opened it, there was only 30,000 ghost money inside?

Is it less than the monthly salary of a mid-level engineer in Wangjiang Shouwang?

The cleaners in Wangjiang Shouwangli now earn 15,000 yuan a month. Intermediate engineers even earn 40,000 yuan a month.

It's rather ridiculous that someone would treat a mere 30,000 ghost money coins in a treasure chest like a precious gem.

Chen Mu also stepped forward and reached out to flip through the ghost money.

"Hmm, it really is 30,000."

Chen Mu was only slightly surprised, not too disappointed.

Because in his eyes, money is just a string of numbers.

Whether it's 30,000, 300 million, or 30 billion, does it make any difference to Chen Mu? It's not even a fraction of the total.

There's a saying that goes something like this: when you have so little money, it's just a string of numbers.

Money less than 1000 billion is meaningless to Mr. Chen.

However, based on his judgment, Chen Mu believed that this was a bizarre scene of extremely long duration.

So it's quite reasonable for a boss of such high rank as the Chief to regard 30,000 ghost coins as a treasure.

The problem is, if the ghost money is buried underground, where did the eerie atmosphere go?

"Have you made any other discoveries?" Chen Mu asked Xiao Ye.

"Boss, not yet," Xiao Ye said honestly.

"Hmm, go look again. Also, why did you suddenly decide to dig up someone's grave? That's not like you."

In Chen Mu's memory, Xiao Ye had always been quite steady, the kind of person who was "ruthless but didn't talk much".

Digging up someone's grave is something rather abstract, something that kind of wild wanderer would probably do.

When applied to Xiaoye, it creates a sense of contrast for Chen Mu.

Wait... why did I say "again"?

Xiao Ye answered honestly, "Boss, didn't you say you wanted to find some clues? I just wanted to finish quickly."

The area is surrounded by woods, and the most likely place is this grave. So I thought going down to look for it would be the most efficient way.”

Xiao Ye explained his motive for "digging up the grave," and after listening, Chen Mu thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

Chen Mu also understood Xiao Ye's motives.

Indeed, digging up graves is something only a vagrant in the wilderness would do.

But the Wild Wanderer probably did this out of a twisted sense of humor, thinking—it's really fun to rip up the grave of a creepy boss! (?? w ?? )y

For Xiaoye, the same action had a completely different motivation. He simply wanted to achieve results quickly and was looking for the fastest way to improve efficiency.

Chen Mu sighed. He felt that Xiao Ye was developing PTSD from the high-intensity work.

Xiaoye used to take on too many things, but he only had so much time.

To get everything done, you must improve efficiency!

Ordinary improvements are not enough; efficiency must be squeezed to the extreme in order to produce results within the specified time.

As a result, after being in this environment for a long time, Xiaoye's pursuit of efficiency has become somewhat obsessive.

So when he saw the cemetery, his first thought was to "improve efficiency," so he dug it up immediately.

Chen Mu patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder. Fortunately, his department's restructuring freed up Xiao Ye's time, preventing the situation from worsening.

Xiaoye will probably recover after some time.

After accepting the mission, Xiaoye went to continue her search.

Chen Mu stood still, his eyes slightly closed, and wisps of eerie white energy began to spread from beneath his feet.

The primordial, eerie energy, like a serpent, seeps into the soil.

They weave and roam within, plunging directly into the deepest parts of the land.

A few minutes later, Chen Mu opened his eyes.

A wisp of innate, eerie energy began to slowly return to the soles of his feet.

Chen Mu thoroughly investigated the entire eerie scene.

Apart from that treasure chest, there was nothing else of value.

To be honest, there's a small treasure chest 500 meters underground.

Chen Mu used his innate strange energy to probe it, and found that it contained a pearl, which had been soaked in pure strange energy.

For Gui Chang, this should be considered a "family heirloom" level jewel. No wonder he hid it so well.

But it had no value to Chen Mu.

Even more exquisite jewels can be produced daily by the Jewelry College of Wangjiang University—the one overseen by the Duchess.

The employees of Wangjiang Shouwang have so many pieces of jewelry of this quality that almost everyone owns several.

If this eerie leader were to go there, seeing a starting salary of 15,000, everyone adorned with jewels, and the air filled with pure eerie energy, he would probably think he had arrived at the eighteenth level of hell.

However... this mysterious and cunning leader buried all his possessions in the ground, unable to take them with him.

What happened that prevented him from taking his "family heirloom and all his savings" in this bizarre scene?

Chen Mu was very curious about what this strange scene in space had gone through.

However, as time has passed, there are no clues left.

"Xiao Ye, come back. There's nothing useful here anymore," Chen Mu called out to Xiao Ye.

Due to the difference in strength, while Xiaoye was still diligently digging three feet into the ground, Chen Mu waved his sleeve and had already finished searching everything.

"Let's go, let's take care of business first. We'll leave things here to the Life Search Office."

Chen Mu said.

After the two left the bizarre scene and returned to space, Xiaoye's watch received a message from Xuyue Ji.

This message was sent ten minutes ago. However, the two people were still in the abandoned and eerie scene at the time, so they didn't receive it.

Xu Yueji: "Boss Chen, the King of Nightwalkers, spaceship number 5, also encountered an anomaly. According to the information at the scene, they should have also crashed into an abandoned and eerie scene."

Chen Mu was somewhat surprised. Yet another abandoned and eerie scene?

If he remembered correctly, the spaceship he was on was numbered 1; the other spaceship, numbered 5, was flying in the opposite direction.

The two spaceships were very far apart, flying back to back.

Why would I encounter such a strange, abandoned scene in such a distant universe?

In that instant, a bold idea popped into Chen Mu's mind.

"Could the pitch-black outer space be a bustling wasteland?"

Chen Mu looked into the deep space before him and murmured to himself.
