"Don't you have it?" Qin Nuo watched the Boss Lady's expression and asked.

  "Why would a human like you his?" The Boss Lady hahe note back, questioning him.

  "Actually, I'm an employee at the her Springs Restaurant, and they seo buy this kind of ingredient," Qin Nuo expined.

  The Boss Lady ughed, "That's as good as a death sentence for you."

  "What do you mean?"

  "Even if I gave you Ingredient No. 8, a human like you wouldn't be able to take it back, and you'd lose your life in the process." The Boss Lady sat dooured herself a gss of water.

  "This ingredient is extremely dangerous. Humans hardly ha and might even be trolled by it."

  Qin Nuo was shocked.

  Damn it!

  Is this an ingredient or a mohis sounds terrifying!

  "Besides, I won't sell it to you."

  "Why not?"

  "It's too precious. Those guys at the her Springs Restaurant send an employee over every now and then to buy Ingredients No. 1 to 8."

  "This stuff 't be bought with just Ghost Currency," the Boss Lady said indifferently.

  "If you're only here to buy this, you might as well go back."

  Qin Nuo looked troubled, "Going back meah for me too."

  " I buy it with something other than Ghost Currency?"

  The Boss Lady g Qin Nuo's body and smiled, "Though you have a nice figure, I'm not ied in that."

  "And human flesh isn't worth much here."

  Qin Nuo fell silent.

  He suddenly uood.

  The hardest part of this task wasn't reag the Specter Supermarket alive; it was that they simply wouldn't sell Ingredient No. 8!

  Perhaps that Pinocchio guy never expected Qin Nuo t it back.

  Bang! Bang!!

  Suddenly, there was a loud otion ihe supermarket.

  From a distance, Qin Nuo saw a heap of goods flying around, shelves colpsing, and that area being a plete mess.

  Bang!

  The door to the dark room was flung open, and the injured boss rushed out, grabbing a bone-chopping knife and shouting angrily, "That damn thief again, I'm going to chop it to pieces!!"

  With that, he charged into the shelving area with the knife.

  Not long after, he returned, looking disheveled.

  Holding the knife, he gritted his teeth in anger.

  "Idiot, don't make the store messier!"

  "If you were so capable, you would have caught it long ago. What are you messing around for now?" The Boss Lady tugged at her husband's ear, scolding him.

  The boss sshed back at the Boss Lady's arm with the knife, equally hot-tempered, "Damn it, all you do is criticize me. Why don't you go catch it?"

  The Boss Lady didn't argue with him a over to the shelves. Soon, a furious scream came, "It stole 8 items again, worth 500 Ghost Curren total!"

  Hearing this, Qin Nuhly uood what was happening.

  A thief had actually sneaked into this supermarket?

  And from the sound of it, this wasn't the first time; it eat offender.

  " you tell me about it? Maybe I help," Qin Nuo asked tentatively.

  "You? Get lost, don't get in my way!" The boss was very dismissive of Qin Nuo, or rather, dismissive of humans in general.

  The Boss Lady came over, pushed the boss aside, and looked at Qin Nuo with a meaningful smile, "How about this, if you help us catch that thief, I'll sell you Ingredient No. 8!"

  "Deal!" Qin Nuo agreed without hesitation.

  What choice did he have besides agreeing?

  The boss swice but said nothing.

  "Boss, give me two pieces of human donkey skin." A passing er stopped and shouted.

  "'t you get it yourself? No hands or feet?" The boss turned and cursed.

  "Damn, such a rude business, why even open a store!" The ghost cursed a.

  The Boss Lady stabbed the boss in the back with a knife, her eyes fierce, "Do you want this store to keep running or not?"

  Qin Nuo ighe couple who kept stabbing each other and walked towards the shelves.

  The supermarket was actually quite rge.

  Just the arra of shelves alone numbered in the hundreds. As Qin Nuo walked inside, he found the goods either covered in dust or scattered on the floor, overall very sloppy, as if they had never been anized.

  Suddenly, Qin Nuo heard some noise.

  He quickly pinpoihe source of the sound, pulled out the Bone-Crushing Hammer, and turo swing it.

  "Brother, calm down!"

  The figure hurriedly spoke up.

  "A person?" Qin Nuo was startled, smelling a huma from the other.

  "Yes, a person, I'm a pyer here, a stock clerk, named Yuan. Like you, I was seo participate in the Hame," the man said with a smile.

  "Stock clerk..."

  Qin Nuo looked at the messy shelves and the chaos on the ground, "This is your stog work?"

  Given the boss's temper, always ready to draw a knife, Yuan should have been chopped to pieces by now.

  How had Yuan survived with such a work attitude?

  "Hehe, isn't there a national proteeism?"

  "The boss and the Boss Lady only chece a week, so I sck off for five days and tidy up for two," Yuan scratched his head and ughed.

  Qin Nuo was astonished.

  So this was the national intervention, forcibly adding a proteeism!

  The supervision was too x!

  No wohe hot-tempered couple ighe mess on the floor and only got angry at the goods messed up by the thief!

  Thinking about his own work at the her Springs Restaurant these past few days, being picked on by the chef, groped by ghosts while sleeping, and eyed by perverted ers, if it weren't for his cleverness and a bit of luck, he would have lost his life long ago!

  A slight ht, ing a er.

  Slow service, clumsy hands a.

  Even a slip of the tongue affeg a diner's mood could cost him his life!

  pared to Qin Nuo's experiences, Yuan's job was like a damn flower in a greenhouse!

  This parison made Qin Nuo feel extremely frustrated.

  "I was forcibly sent here," Qin Nuo said with a dark expression.

  "I really sympathize with you," Yuan looked at Qin Nuo with pity.

  He had participated in the Hame only twice, but he khat being forcibly sent i no national proteeism.

  High danger!

  High mortality rate!

  Those who returned alive were truly blessed by their aors!

  Yuan g the boss still arguing outside and whispered, "I heard your versation with the Boss Lady. You should just go back to where you came from."

  "You 't catch that thieving ghost."

  "And don't be fooled by the Boss Lady's easygoing manner. Even if you catch that ghost, she definitely won't give you Ingredient No. 8!"

  Qin Nuo's face darkened, "Why?"

  "Are you really that naive?" Yuan sized up Qin Nuo.

  "A human trying to iate with ghosts? Let me tell you, your superiors at the her Springs Restaurant have tricked our Boss Lady before, and she hates you guys."

  "Even if she sells it, she won't sell it to you!"

  Qin Nuo's expression grew more serious.

  Pinocchio hadn't mentioned any of this, yet he sent him to the Specter Supermarket, clearly setting him up for failure.

  Qin Nuo closed his eyes, seemingly making a decision.

  After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Tell me about the thief in your store."

  "Didn't you hear a word I said?" Yuan was surprised.

  Qin Nuo replied, "In any case, I 't go back empty-handed."

  "I have my ways."
