      Chapter 26: A Bloody Transaction Cover
      by Potato So, I was right…  Using this Charm skill really did change my appearance.  In the dimly lit alleys of the old town, Ren Ye, who now bore the appearance of a classical beauty, led the way ahead.  He felt incredibly odd and deeply uncomfortable, as if something significant was missing down below—leaving him with an unsettling sense of emptiness.  Behind him, Old Xu proved to be quite the character.

      Chapter 25: Tracking Cover
      by Potato Inside the Office  “Heh, tui...!”  Huang Wei spat into the trash can, lit another cigarette, and took a deep drag.  Holding his phone, he scrolled through four or five player groups, all of which prominently displayed the same pinned sales post.  That wasn’t particularly unusual.

      by Potato At Home Ren Ye’s face was pale yellow, and his eyes were bloodshot. “Dad, did you and that editor discuss the direction for the rest of the story?” “No, we’re stuck on the part where the Daoist priest’s avatar dies.

The story isn’t published yet. Just bring him back to life.” Ren Ye tentatively…

      by Potato “Creak!”The chair emitted a teeth-grating sound as it was adjusted back into position. Ren Ye straightened up instinctively and asked, “That important character… was he a Daoist priest?”His father, who had been muttering about the story plot, paused, startled by the question. “Why are you so worked up?”“I’m asking you—was that important character you mentioned, the one who got killed off, a Daoist priest?” Ren Ye pressed urgently.“Yeah, he was a Daoist priest,” his father…

      Chapter 22: Gaining the Organization’s Attention Cover
      by Potato The bright sunlight baked his cheeks, its warmth becoming unbearable.  Rubbing his sore eyes, Ren Ye groggily woke up. A sharp, acrid smell of smoke hit his nose, making him cough twice involuntarily.  Looking up, he saw a familiar old face — and the ever-present eye gunk.  Standing by the bed, Huang Wei craned his neck, grinning widely. “You’re definitely the reformed convict I had my eye on. You’ve got some real skills!”  Ren Ye frowned, glancing around…

      by Potato At the break of dawn, under the dim morning light, the spectral horde lingered, ghosts roaming in daylight. Countless ghostly figures surrounded Ren Ye on the high platform, forming a crescent arc. Their hollow, venomous gazes fixated on the gathered officials. Each vengeful spirit bore the ghastly marks of their tragic deaths: some were bloody and mangled, others reduced to half their bodies. Among them, countless hanging ghosts swayed in mid-air, their long tongues protruding, limbs stiff, and dark…

      by Potato In the dimly lit prison corridor, Huang Wei strode briskly, phone in hand, his face weary. "Based on Ren Ye's rank before the incident, how much would his full compensation be?" he asked."Ren Ye agreed?" came the voice of a man on the other end."Yes, he agreed."The man paused briefly before replying, "According to his previous department's standards, the compensation is calculated as twenty times the average annual disposable income from the previous year, plus forty months of his rank's salary. If he had…
