Chapter 602 -604: Three days? No, you only have one afternoon left.

After a round of screening, Situ Yi’s expression became somewhat unnatural because he couldn’t identify which one was human.

Normally, relying on the Ghost Favorability System, it should have been very easy to find out, but after going around in circles, he came up with nothing.

He had thought about going all out and maxing out the favorability of all the ghosts, but he didn’t have that many points. In fact, he used up all the points he was gifted yesterday on that female ghost, and now he only had a small number left. Yet, for some reason, that female ghost ended up dead yesterday, even though everything seemed to be going smoothly.

“How’s it going, did you find out who it is?” The foreman ghost’s tone carried a hint of malice; he had never intended to let everyone go and planned to devour this cunning human as soon as he was no longer useful.

He could betray his own kind, let alone them, the fierce ghosts, so why keep him around?

In the end, Situ Yi could only grit his teeth and add all of the few remaining points to the foreman ghost. Of course, don’t expect the other party to be devoted to him; at most, the favorability would just increase a bit.

As long as he got through this crisis first, if he had successfully found Qin Muye earlier and combined that with the emotional fluctuations of the ghosts, he would surely have received a large number of points; unfortunately, he failed.

Therefore, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate strategy, as he had never considered the possibility of failure before, after all, he had the Ghost Favorability System—how could he fail?

So, he could only put everything on the line and try to drag out the time.

He quickly raised the foreman ghost’s favorability to 5 points, with the maximum being 100 points. The reason for the mere 5 points was that the foreman ghost’s favor was in negative numbers.

But after pulling it into the positive, at least there was no more malice.

“I need a little time, after all, you know it’s not easy to find this person. Even you fierce ghosts can’t do it, let alone an ordinary person like me,” Situ Yi said to the foreman ghost.

The other side had initially wanted to scold him, but after taking a careful look at Situ Yi, they found he was not as annoying as before and even a bit like one of the fierce ghosts.

After pondering over Situ Yi’s words, they felt there was some truth to them.

“Fine, I’ll give you one… three days; as long as you can find that person within three days, I guarantee your survival.” After establishing a base of 5 points of favorability, the foreman ghost had initially wanted to say one day, but ended up offering three days instead.

This relief for Situ Yi was short-lived, as the low favorability only bought him three days.

But three days should be enough; as long as he got enough points in those three days, he could continue to increase the foreman ghost’s favorability afterwards.

If he could max out the foreman ghost’s favorability, he wouldn’t have to worry about safety this time.

As for why he previously didn’t add points, the reason was simple enough; given the choice between a sexy female ghost with curves in all the right places and a greasy middle-aged man, he’d obviously pick the former.

Although raising the foreman ghost’s favorability would benefit his survival, the female ghost could have been a good choice too, given her strength wasn’t ordinary.

“Good, within three days I will definitely find out,” said Situ Yi with a firmness that rang like a bell.

“Wait a minute, if you let him investigate for three days, surely you can’t expect us to wait in your restaurant for three days, can you? We don’t have enough Ghost Coins to spend,” Qin Muye stoked the fire from the shadows.

He knew this was some kind of evolved effect from the Ghost Guise Talent in Situ Yi, but the problem was it only affected the foreman ghost, not the other ghosts.

The Garden Restaurant operated under the rules of the Ghost Guise, especially for fierce ghosts. Each ghoul there was required to spend, using Ghost Coins.

The source of Ghost Coins was simple: it was the kill count upon completing tasks for humans. In addition to being gifted one upon being arranged to come here, that meant today’s meal was on the house, but if they were to come tomorrow, they would need to pay unless they were arranged by the Ghost Guise again or they consumed or killed a human.

But clearly, there weren’t enough humans remaining for them to share.

So with the foreman ghost’s mere word, it seemed there was no problem, but it involved the interests of the other fierce ghosts.

To send them away was not an option, but keeping them to help find the human who had infiltrated and killed among them wasn’t a bad idea either; the problem was they had no Ghost Coins to spend, and if things stayed the same by tomorrow, they would be erased by the rules. Did they really think that the Ghost Guise was running a charity?

“That’s right, you can’t dictate everything. We came to your restaurant to spend, and now we have to worry about our safety. You can’t even secure your own restaurant, how can you guarantee our safety for the next three days?”

“Exactly, exactly…”

With Qin Muye agitating the situation, the following outcry from the group of ghosts was inevitable, as this affected their own interests.

At this point, the ghost supervisor also realized that it was impossible to compensate with Ghost Coins, but they certainly had to find the person.

However, they couldn’t forcibly make someone stay, because if they did, this group of fierce ghosts wouldn’t mind tearing him to shreds. Fierce ghosts don’t just eat humans, they also devour their own kind.

The battles between fierce ghosts didn’t have the strict rules that applied when fierce ghosts killed humans.

“Find the person disguised as a ghost by the end of today, or I’ll kill you,” the ghost supervisor turned and glared fiercely at Situ Yi. He was also in a tight spot, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such a threat.

He could only have Situ Yi handle it, after all, he had boasted that he could find the person.

Situ Yi’s expression was ugly at the moment. Just now, the ghost supervisor’s favorability towards him had dropped to zero.

It was hard to increase but easy to decrease.

“Fine, I will definitely catch that person before the end of work today,” Situ Yi said through gritted teeth. What else could he do? If he agreed, he still had an afternoon to work things out. As long as he accumulated enough Points and raised favorability, everything would be no problem.

If he truly refused outright, he would be in trouble right now, so naturally he had to tough it out and take on the task.

But he didn’t plan on finding Qin Muye right away; instead, he focused on earning enough Points to max out the ghost supervisor’s favorability.

If he didn’t have the Fierce Ghost Favorability System, then indeed, finding Qin Muye would be the only option, but as a leader, the ghost supervisor had more than one option.

As long as he got through this situation and got the group of fierce ghosts to leave, everything would be no problem.

He originally didn’t want the ghost supervisor’s favorability; a greasy middle-aged ghost didn’t align with his values, but now, for the sake of survival, he had no choice.

If the female ghost whose favorability he had maxed out before was still around, it wouldn’t be so troublesome, as her strength was far superior to the ghost supervisor’s.

‘I can only bluff for now, or else it won’t be possible to earn enough points.’

“Ghost supervisor, I have a request!” Situ Yi spoke up.

“What request? Tell me.” Because the favorability had only dropped to zero and not turned negative, he was still able to speak.

“I need them to cooperate with me, fully cooperate, and not lay a hand on me, otherwise I can’t find the person,” Situ Yi said.

He needed to earn Points, and the next actions would inevitably offend all the fierce ghosts except for the ghost supervisor, so he needed to ensure his own safety first.

As for the future? He would worry about that later. If he couldn’t get past this hurdle now, he might as well forget about the future and consider how much meat on his body would be left.

“What do you all think?” As the favorability had dropped to zero, the ghost supervisor didn’t immediately agree but instead glanced at the other fierce ghosts. He wasn’t a fool; his earlier actions had already offended the ghosts, and he didn’t want to offend them again.

He was running a restaurant, not collecting hatred.

It was already offensive enough to trap fierce ghosts in the restaurant, not to mention asking for their cooperation afterward, which would only make things worse.

“I’m fine with it, but we need to make one thing clear, no provocation or violence, or else I might not kill him, but I will take some parts off him,” Qin Muye was the first one to state his position.

The ghost supervisor glanced at Qin Muye, a plain and ordinary ‘fierce ghost’ easily forgotten, but with someone leading the way, the rest of the fierce ghosts naturally had fewer objections.

After a few words, they all agreed.

After all, no one wanted a ghost slayer among them, ready to strike when they weren’t paying attention.

“Tsk, truly foolish, now it’s time for the hero to show off,” Qin Muye ignited the Fire and then stood in a corner, waiting to watch the drama unfold.

This matter itself was questionable, how could fierce ghosts be so easily persuaded by Situ Yi with just a few words? If he didn’t have the Ghost Talent System, he would have been torn to pieces by the fierce ghosts to vent their anger the moment he stood out, claiming he could find Qin Muye, instead of actually being allowed to show off.

It was also because the Ghost Talent was flawed that subsequent events didn’t develop according to Situ Yi’s plans.
