Chapter 150: Wang Xiaocong’s Spirit Weapon
Moreover, from what Xue Lingling meant, her Ghost King Series was no longer limited to the nine major Ghost Kings.
It was based on the original nine major Ghost Kings, deriving various kinds of Ghost Kings, though they hadn’t been made yet for the time being.
“Don’t worry, there will be various Ghost Kings for you to choose from later, each Ghost King having its own unique abilities, enough to handle various enemies and opponents.”
Xue Lingling was full of enthusiasm, brimming with confidence in her brand-new Ghost King Series.
“For the next period of time, this president will be in secluded cultivation in the family for a while, and the club’s major and minor affairs will temporarily be managed by Wu Xian and Zhou Qi.”
The club members had no objections to this.
Meanwhile, Wu Xian on the side was secretly helpless.
With his personality, he naturally didn’t like dealing with the club’s troublesome matters, but master’s orders were hard to defy.
Fortunately, it was only temporary management for a few days, and at his request, he had pulled Zhou Qi in as well.
He could just dump the matters on Zhou Qi later and act as the hands-off shopkeeper himself.
But for the next few days, he would have to live at the club.
Soon after, Xue Lingling departed on her coffin board, and the club members each returned to their own homes to do their own things.
Wu Xian sat bored in Xue Lingling’s office, truly at a loss.
Having been used to being a workhorse, suddenly making him a leader was really a bit unaccustomed.
“A small club, is it this troublesome?”
Looking at the daily work arrangements left by Xue Lingling, Wu Xian felt a headache coming on.
Financial management, various material procurements, personnel management, coordinating with the alliance’s competition arrangements, following up and contacting sponsor vendors.
Brand endorsements and activity arrangements for some popular players.
Daily maintenance and fan operations on the club official website.
Also needing to monitor the players’ win rates and performances in daily points matches, allocating and appointing competition lineups.
In short: it was just freaking outrageous!
Although Xue Lingling had gradually hired some staff, with many things handled by dedicated personnel, the miscellaneous affairs still gave him a headache.
“No wonder in my previous life I could only be a workhorse, I’m really not suited to be a leader.”
Fortunately, in the afternoon, the great savior Zhou Qi arrived, and Wang Xiaocong came along with him.
Zhou Qi was indeed from a family, even if just from a small family, he had some capability in management and handling family affairs.
“Good thing we have you, Brother Zhou~!” Wu Xian sighed, silently dumping the work on Zhou Qi.
“It’s not that much, it just looks like a lot,” Zhou Qi chuckled helplessly, “I checked the club’s operating funds and subsequent budget; we should be able to hire more staff.
These are small matters that ordinary people can handle, better to benefit our own people than outsiders. Does Brother Wu have any relatives or friends you want to bring in?”
Wu Xian was stunned, “This… actually no.”
Old Master and his old pals could come clean or something, but the shantytown was too far, and daily commuting would be too troublesome.
He had previously wanted them to do odd jobs at Tang’s Vehicles, but the old guys still preferred living in the shantytown.
Moreover, the old guys’ current earnings from scavenging scrap material were already pretty good.
“Then it’s even simpler.”
Zhou Qi smiled slightly, took out his phone, and posted the hiring info in the club group.
“If anyone has relatives or friends, they can come apply; those with spiritual power cultivation abilities prioritized, preferably young ones, after all, our Ghost King Club aims for vitality.”
The group responded enthusiastically, with club members expressing gratitude one after another.
After all, compared to other bottom-level jobs, the club’s miscellaneous work was quite relaxed, and crucially, it allowed contact with upper class people, which was impressive to mention, so many were willing to come.
Most importantly, the Ghost King Club offered generous salaries.
After looking through it, Wu Xian silently gave a thumbs up, “The subsequent interviews are handed to you, Brother Zhou; later I’ll have the president arrange a vice president position for you too. I’ll just be a mascot.”
“…” Brother Zhou shook his head with a stifled laugh, “Brother Wu’s scroll painting talent is astonishing; there’s really no need to waste time on these trivial matters.”
Wang Xiaocong on the side deeply agreed, “Exactly, Brother Xian is now our club’s golden signboard!”
Wu Xian smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, “Right, any progress on your scroll painting research lately?”
“Not bad,” Zhou Qi laughed: “Just promoted the Netherworld Centipede to silver scroll, and made the Netherworld Scorpion and Netherworld Spider; it’s steadily improving.”
“What about you, Cong Bro?” Wu Xian turned to Wang Xiaocong.
“Heh heh, actually a little progress,” Wang Xiaocong said mysteriously, “I came today just to test the five dimensions.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and Zhou Qi couldn’t help but get interested.
They followed Wang Xiaocong all the way to the Five Dimensions testing room.
Moments later, looking at the test results on the screen, they were secretly amazed.
【Rare-Netherworld Ghost Sword】Copper Scroll Three-Star
Type: Appliance Scroll Painting
Color: 18
Detail: 17
Charm: 19
Art Style: 21
Overall: 20
“Copper scroll weapon, this level is impressive!” Wu Xian said in surprise, looking at Wang Xiaocong.
Although much worse than 【Laurel Branch】, the Laurel Branch was a silver scroll painting.
Wang Xiaocong’s 【Netherworld Ghost Sword】 was only copper scroll, and having this kind of five dimensions score was already quite excellent.
You know, for a normal copper scroll appliance scroll painting, it was already hard to have even one or two scores breaking
“Haha, I knew it would work!” Wang Xiaocong couldn’t hide his excitement, “Ever since discussing with Brother Xian last time, I’ve felt a sudden enlightenment, and now I’ve finally made the weapon from my conception.”
Zhou Qi couldn’t help but marvel, “An appliance scroll painting at this level should have a divine diagram, right?”
“Yeah, just haven’t condensed it yet.”
Wang Xiaocong excitedly introduced his brand-new appliance scroll painting concept to the two.
Simply put, it was incorporating souls of various dimensional monsters, combined with background conception, into the overall conception of the appliance scroll painting, along with some appliance scroll painting inheritance thoughts passed down in their Wang Family.
Then, Wang Xiaocong released the 【Netherworld Ghost Sword】 and demonstrated it on site for the two.
As the dark ghost sword swung, there seemed to be the wailing voices of evil ghosts.
After injecting spiritual power, it could transform into an evil ghost condensed from netherworld baleful energy, but that netherworld evil ghost was clearly different from normal evil ghost painted spirits, possessing many characteristics unique to appliances.
Attacking someone felt just like being slashed by the 【Netherworld Ghost Sword】.
“What a unique appliance scroll painting!” Zhou Qi marveled.
Wu Xian couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly.
He hadn’t expected Wang Xiaocong to actually create the “weapon spirit” concept.
Although some parts weren’t perfect yet, it already had quite that flavor.
“For the battlefield match the day after tomorrow, I plan to equip all the club’s brothers with one, let them feel the effect.” Wang Xiaocong was enthusiastic, clearly not caring about the small expense.
After some chit-chat afterward, Wang Xiaocong excitedly left.
Zhou Qi stayed to manage club affairs, while Wu Xian tidied up an empty room to continue his own scroll painting research.
“Right, Brother Wu,” Zhou Qi reminded, “I saw in the president’s schedule that five cultivation pods were ordered, arriving tomorrow; we’ll receive them together then.”
“Receive?” Wu Xian was puzzled.
Zhou Qi explained: “These five cultivation pods have quite a background; the president must have pulled a lot of favors and connections to order them. Normally, you’d have to queue for at least a year or two.”
“What broken cultivation pod is so precious?” Wu Xian asked in doubt, stopping in his tracks.
