The contract alteration left the masked ghost utterly dumbfounded.


    Having navigated the corporate world for so many years, it was the first time it had encountered such a situation.


    Immediately, a new piece of information about the Other Shore Convenience Store appeared out of nowhere in its mind.


    It opened its mouth, feeling utterly ridiculous.


    Just seconds ago, this young man in front of it was just a low-level stock clerk.


    And now, he had suddenly be its boss?


    Qin Nuo had the same thought, but after considering it, he realized that this was just a game. In the game, yerspeting for territory and assets wasn''t anything unusual.


    Qin Nuo organized the contract and didn''t return it to the masked ghost. Instead, he ced it in his own toolbar.


    Then his gaze fell on the masked ghost."So, what are you going to do now?"


    The special ghost power of the Blood-Eyed Ghost had vanished, and the ghost power of the masked ghost was slowly recovering. However, given the current situation, it hadpletely abandoned any thoughts of resistance or escape.


    Thus, it said with great emotional intelligence, "For me, it''s just a change of boss, no big deal."


    "As long as the payment is right, I will do my utmost to serve you."


    Qin Nuo smiled with satisfaction and said, "If this month''s sales don''t drop, your sry will be 20% higher than before, as an extra bonus from me."


    In the first month, Qin Nuo might not earn much profit, but for him, the money spent to retain the masked ghost was more valuable.


    No one had more experience managing the Other Shore Convenience Store than the masked ghost.


    Keeping it was like keeping a treasure trove.


    A ghost that only cares about money and doesn''t y tricks—money is all it takes. Although it''s very realistic, it''s also the most hassle-free.


    The masked ghost said, "That''s what I should do."


    Qin Nuo opened a drawer and took out a stack of documents, which contained a series of ns targeting the Red Moon Convenience Store.


    These were all devised by the masked ghost.


    And at the end, there was a promise: Within half a month, the Red Moon Convenience Store would be annexed!


    Now, taking these out in front of the convenience store''s boss made the masked ghost feel extremely awkward.


    Awkward as it was, it also indirectly showed the masked ghost''s capability and efficiency.


    "Destroy these. I want you to draft a few new ns to support the Red Moon Convenience Store."


    "And destroy everything with the Other Shorebel, recing it with Red Moon."


    "From now on, the Other Shore Convenience Store ceases to exist; only the Red Moon Convenience Store remains!"


    This was clearly a massive project, but there''s no such thing as a free lunch. Qin Nuo raised the sry, so the masked ghost had to put in the corresponding amount of work. ???


    It was also a test of its abilities.


    "Half a month toplete," the masked ghost said calmly after a moment of thought.


    Qin Nuo smiled, "Pleasing."


    "At the convenience store across the street, I have two good employees. Promote them based on their abilities. Besides you, there''s a deputy manager named Liao Shen."


    Hearing the name Liao Shen, the eyes beneath the masked ghost''s mask flickered a few times.


    Qin Nuo caught this, "You seem to know each other?"


    "In the same industry, we''ve crossed paths a few times," the masked ghost said calmly.


    "That''s even better. With capable people gathered together, I believe the Red Moon Convenience Store will grow bigger and bigger."


    Qin Nuo didn''t care whether they had a good rtionship or a grudge. In his ce, personal rtionships came second, and work came first. If they ever shed, firing one would serve as a warning to others.


    After nning for the Other Shore Convenience Store, the day''s sales figures were quickly calcted on the system''s information panel.


    "After deducting losses from the original Red Moon Convenience Store, profits from the three branches and the main store, and subtracting the sries of employees, supervisors, managers, and deputy managers, his profit as the behind-the-scenes boss was—2019 Ghost Currency!"


    "Over two thousand Ghost Currency a day!"


    Qin Nuo''s eyes lit up.


    For a big boss, this wasn''t an astonishing number.


    But in the budding stage, Qin Nuo was already very satisfied.


    The main thing was, he didn''t have to do anything—just sit back and collect money, truly a hands-off manager!


    Over time, as the business expanded and passed the budding stage, the profit he would receive would be even more staggering!


    Overall, starting now, Qin Nuo didn''t have to worry about Ghost Currency. Those expensive ingredients with sky-high prices would be easily essible.


    This was the terrifying power of nning rights!


    Leaving the store manager''s office, the store''s appearance seemed unchanged, yet it had changed a lot.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    As Qin Nuo walked out, the lower-level employees quickly put away theirziness and worked diligently, while the higher-level staff respectfully stepped aside, greeting him.


    They had never seen the so-called behind-the-scenes boss, nor had they seen Qin Nuo, but subconsciously, they inexplicably recognized this young man in front of them as their boss.


    The true master of the store.


    The clock on the wall suddenly chimed.


    Qin Nuo then noticed that the darkness outside had be clear, with a hazy white mist rising in the distance.


    Checking the time, it was already close to six in the morning, and time had passed faster than Qin Nuo had expected.


    The store''s issues had been resolved, and with Liao Shen''s situation unlikely to present any surprises, it was time to go back.


    His sister, unable to find him, might do something drastic.


    Standing at the doorway, Qin Nuo looked at the mist on both sides and suddenly thought of something. He said, "Now that money isn''t an issue, can I buy all the ingredients you need and let you absorb them all at once, opening all the remaining eyes?"


    The Blood-Eyed Ghost replied, "Think about it, it''s unrealistic."


    "If it were that easy, would I still be surviving in your arm?"


    "Surviving sounds a bit disrespectful," Qin Nuo said.


    "Each time a blood eye is opened, it requires a transition period for adaptation. Only when the time is right can the next ingredient be absorbed," the Blood-Eyed Ghost exined.


    "What kind of injury is this, so hard to recover from? Who hurt you?" Qin Nuo had wanted to ask this for a while.


    "It doesn''t matter anymore; it''s been so long," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said nonchntly.


    Seeing it didn''t want to talk, Qin Nuo didn''t bother asking further.


    Crossing the road, the outline of the Red Moon Convenience Store gradually became clear in the distance.


    Opening the store door, the familiar bell rang inside.


    Li Tongtong, who was dozing off at the cash register, instantly woke up, "Ah, boss, you''re back!"


    "You''ve been gone for two days. I thought the people across the street had caught you, and I was nning to rescue you with Yuan Shan!"


    "If we lose a good boss like you, what will we do?"


    Qin Nuo chuckled, "You''re just afraid no one will pay you, right?"


    Yuan Shan walked out from the shelves, nced at the glib Li Tongtong, and mercilessly exposed her, "Her original n was to clean out the store''s goods and run away if the boss got caught."


    "And she tried to persuade me to join her."


    Li Tongtong red at Yuan Shan, who red back.


    Ignoring the two employees tattling on each other, Qin Nuo cleared his throat and said, "No need to think about those things anymore. The Other Shore Convenience Store is no longer a threat."


    "Or rather, it''s gone."


    The two employees looked at each other, puzzled, "What do you mean?"


    Qin Nuo smiled, "You can understand it as me acquiring it. From now on, the Other Shore Convenience Store will be renamed Red Moon, bing one big family."


    Li Tongtong wanted to touch Qin Nuo''s forehead but held back and asked, "Boss, are you sick?"


    "It''s hard to exin right now, but someone wille to organize and exin everything to you." Before leaving, Qin Nuo had assigned these tasks to the masked ghost.


    Exining the whole situation to these two adorable employees was a headache, and Qin Nuo''s head had been aching enoughtely. He''d leave the troublesome work to the masked ghost.


    Li Tongtong and Yuan Shan nodded in confusion.


    "Hasn''t Liao Shen returned yet?" Qin Nuo asked.


    "He came back yesterday to get some documents and left again."


    Qin Nuo didn''t mind, sat down, and asked Yuan Shan to bring him a bottle of water.


    Just as he took a sip, his phone suddenly rang.


    Qin Nuo''s expression changed.


    The phone could be brought into the Horror World, but it couldn''t connect to people in the real world.


    So who was calling?


    Qin Nuo took out his phone.


    It disyed an unknown number.


    With a hint of suspicion, Qin Nuo answered.


    "Hello?"


    "If you''re hearing this, it means you''ve entered the Horror World and started the Horror Game."


    The voice on the other end was hoarse with age, mixed with aplex emotion.


    Qin Nuo frowned. From the sound of it, the caller seemed to know him?


    "Who is this?"


    "Your father."
