Jiang Yiqing: "..."

Fine, then. Guess we're all going together.

When they arrived at the paper craft store, the old man immediately recognized Jiang Yiqing. After all, with Jiang Yiqing's looks, anyone who'd seen him once would definitely remember him.

"I finished the stuff you asked for this morning. Go ahead and check," the old man said confidently, standing up to show Jiang Yiqing the items.

Not bad, each helmet was quite well-made. Aside from being made of paper, it was almost the same as a real construction helmet.

As for the computer, the old man had made a lightweight laptop with a perfectly clear keyboard.

Jiang Yiqing was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items. This old man was really skilled—seems like if he ever wanted something custom-made in the future, he could give this old man a try.

"Mm, not bad," Jiang Yiqing said with satisfaction, paying without hesitation.

However, though the items were well-made, they were a bit pricey, and Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little heartache when paying.

The old man, on the other hand, was quite happy—after all, he had earned a fair bit this time.

"Hey, you're a pretty fun guy!" The old man had no idea how he'd noticed Milk Ball in Jiang Yiqing's bag. "You're even carrying this plush little dog around."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

He opened his mouth to explain, but realized he couldn't really explain. He could only smile awkwardly and quickly leave the embarrassing situation behind.

The progress of the ancestral temple was going smoothly. Jiang Yiqing had only been gone a few days, but things had moved forward, and he was pleased with the progress. At least now, he felt like his money hadn't been wasted.

Although it still made him wince a little.

When Jiang Yiqing arrived, the engineer ghost hurried over, eager to say something.

Jiang Yiqing didn't pay attention to him. With his head lowered, he drew a circle on the ground and said, "Tell them to stop for a moment and come over to get their helmets."

The engineer ghost had no choice but to temporarily suppress what he wanted to say and ran over to direct the construction worker ghosts to line up, "One at a time, no cutting in line! That hungry ghost in the middle! I told you not to cut in line, and you know what's being handed out, right? Still cutting in line!"

Immediately, a construction worker ghost took the opportunity to report, saying that the hungry ghost had done this more than once or twice—he was a repeat offender, always cutting in line.

The engineer ghost was surprised to hear this. Normally, he wouldn't bother with such things, but since Jiang Yiqing was here, he put on a stern face, kicked the hungry ghost, and told him to go to the back of the line, warning him that next time, it wouldn't just be a kick.

Jiang Yiqing stood there speechless, waiting for them to finally line up. Once they were done, he began burning the paper safety helmets for them. The first ghost to get one curiously flipped it over and over.

At that point, the paper safety helmet no longer looked like paper at all. It looked just like a real helmet. Jiang Yiqing had even tested it earlier—it was surprisingly sturdy and durable.

"Put on the helmets and get back to work," the engineer ghost, unable to stand seeing them idle, fully showed his inner "tightwad" nature. "Hurry up! If I catch you slacking off, I'll dock your pay!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Yiqing, worried that he might be upset. But when he saw that Jiang Yiqing didn't say anything, he just continued urging the construction worker ghosts.

Jiang Yiqing thought to himself—what could he say? These ghosts were working for him, so there was no way he was going to be kind enough to let them rest while still paying them.

After burning the safety helmets, Jiang Yiqing also burned his laptop. Just then, the engineer ghost came over, and when he spotted the laptop on the ground, he curiously walked around it with his hands behind his back, inspecting it. "What is this thing?"

Jiang Yiqing looked at him in surprise. "A laptop."

"Ah, so this is what a laptop looks like!" The engineer ghost, an old Qing Dynasty ghost, said in a tone of someone who'd never seen such a thing before. "We've been working on making phones recently, and this is the first time I've seen a computer."

The engineer ghost said this, and his gaze stayed glued to the laptop, his eyes nearly popping out.

Jiang Yiqing, under his expectant gaze, calmly put the laptop away. It wasn't that he was being stingy—it was for Qiao Chun. That ghost had been waiting eagerly for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing put everything away, the engineer ghost's disappointment was impossible to hide. "Ah... I wonder when the phone will be ready. The ghosts have been fighting over which software to make first, and they've already ripped each other's heads off."

The engineer ghost had been eagerly hoping that Jiang Yiqing would come and give him some advice.

Jiang Yiqing was speechless. Why did they ask him everything? As a boss, couldn't they have some of their own ideas?

However, Jiang Yiqing cleared his throat and seriously suggested, "Why not start with a chat app, like WeChat? It's one of the most indispensable apps for humans, and with the current tech level in the Underworld, this app would definitely be a hit."

There was no choice. The ghosts in the Underworld were bored. The birthrate had been dropping in recent years, and the most significant impact on the Underworld was the huge reduction in reincarnation slots. Since they couldn't reincarnate, and with nothing else to do, it was like the idle masses in society had increased, which led to greater instability.

Fighting had become a common sight—after all, they were already dead, so fighting wouldn't kill them. The Underworld usually didn't interfere with this kind of thing.

The main reason they didn't intervene was that there weren't enough ghosts to control them. Let them fight—it was just a way to vent their energy.

Jiang Yiqing thought that these phenomena were mainly due to boredom and the lack of entertainment activities.

With so few entertainment options, the software that the engineer ghost had them create with their feet would probably be hugely popular.

So when Jiang Yiqing made his suggestion, he didn't feel guilty or worried that it wouldn't be well-received.

As for why he recommended a communication app—it was simple. He didn't want to have to go back and forth all the time.
