Not only did he lower the supply prices from the suppliers, but he also secured more bestselling products and made exclusive deals for them on the Crimson Preferred platform.
As for operations, similarly, they filmed commercials featuring her as the spokesperson and then aired them on television, greatly boosting the traffic for the Scarlet Preferred Group.
Thus, the stock price of the Scarlet Preferred Group had reached eighty billion.
Moreover, if Xu He, the general manager of Scarlet Preferred, successfully advanced to Level 9 Ghost Emperor, the stock price breaking one hundred billion would be no problem at all.
The most important thing is, Scarlet Preferred Group hasn't even gone public yet, and once it does, talking about doubling is an understatement.
On the other hand, the stocks of both Xixi Preferred and Undead Preferred, two major groups, were falling every day.
Lilith's ability was recognized by all senior executives, and among the many employees, she was very popular, becoming their absolute loyal supporter.
It could be said that with just a wave of Lilith's hand, she could easily mobilize hundreds of Abnormalities.
After hearing all this, Mu Rufeng had to admit that purchasing Lilith was indeed the right move.
"Do you have the ability? What's been happening with Treasure Tower recently?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"Treasure Tower? I heard from my father that the Tower Master apparently went to the West, but no specific details have come out," Liu Mei reflected briefly before continuing.
"That so, right, Lilith should have bought a phone by now, give me her number," Mu Rufeng added.
"Okay, Mr. Mu, I'll text you her number right now," Liu Mei nodded repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, it wasn't long before Liu Mei sent the text.
Mu Rufeng immediately dialed the phone number.
"Who is this?" came Lilith's voice from the other end.
"It's me," Mu Rufeng said in a deep voice.
"Master? Master, have you entered the Mysterious World?" Lilith's tone was clearly surprised.
Initially, when they had first bound their agreement, she had some grievances against Mu Rufeng, but in just half a month, her attitude had changed astonishingly fast.
"Yes, how has it been at Crimson Preferred recently? Are you adjusting well?" asked Mu Rufeng.
"Thank you for your concern, Master, things are going very well here, and those employees are very obedient. Whatever I tell them to do, they do it."
"And those suppliers we are cooperating with, they also agree to whatever I say," Lilith spoke.
"That's good to hear. You just keep up the good work there. By the way, I also own five percent of the shares of Qingshan Pig Farm and Blood Chamber Hotel."
"If you have time, you could visit them. For the Blood Chamber Hotel, you can just hold a nominal position, and as for Qingshan Pig Farm, I own forty percent of the shares."
"The farm manager was also appointed by me; you can check out the pig farm to see how it can be expanded. If the pig farm is willing to let me invest more capital, you can get the funds from me."
"You can also install some vending machines for these three companies; anyway, just help me manage my assets," Mu Rufeng rattled off a lot of instructions.

"Of course, Master, I will manage your assets well," Lilith responded solemnly.
"Oh, you must have a bank card, right?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"Yes, Master, I have already gotten a Heaven and Earth Bank Card a few days ago," Lilith spoke.
"Tell me the card number, I'll transfer some money to you. If you find any good projects or investment opportunities, feel free to invest."
"Yes, Master, my card number is *****"
Quickly, Mu Rufeng transferred five billion to Lilith.
Elsewhere, inside a rather comfortable dormitory of the Scarlet Preferred Group.
Lilith, dressed in light attire, was lying on her bed, her snow-white bosom being squeezed out of shape.
She was currently speaking on the phone with Mu Rufeng, her face full of happiness.
[Your card ending in 6656 has received a transfer of ¥500,000,000.00 on September 1 at 12:40 PM, with a balance of ¥501 million]
The once normal Heaven and Earth Bank Card instantly upgraded to a Platinum Card.
Even the worldly-wise Lilith was astonished as she looked at the bank card in her hand.
She was a Level 8 Ghost King, but because of her race's particularity, her life was exceedingly difficult.
Those Level 8 Ghost Kings relentlessly pursued her, hoping to procure her virginity to boost their breakthrough to Level 9 Ghost Emperor.
And some Level 9 Ghost Kings also wanted to obtain her.
Thus, she had been living a life of hiding and fleeing since she was young.
The hardest moment was when she was Level 5, captured by a manager from the Wart Corporation who wanted to auction her off.
Fortuitously, the Sect Hierarch of the Succubus Sect rescued her, and from then on, she lived a safe and strengthening life within the Succubus Sect.
Year after year, day after day, she relied on the safe environment and resources within the Succubus Sect to successfully reach the Level 8 Ghost King Realm.
Then, she took over the role of Sect Leader from the previous Sect Hierarch.
And thus, she learned all about the Succubus Sect.
It turned out that the Succubus Sect was merely a source of slaves for an old Western financial group.
Most succubi were gathered into the Succubus Sect.
Once their level reached a certain threshold, they would be sent into this group or even sold off.
No wonder many of Lilith's friends disappeared once they advanced past a certain level and were never seen again.
And she stayed in the Succubus Sect because she had excellent potential as a Ghost King seedling.
Originally, once Lilith broke through to Level 8, she would have been taken away by a high-ranking member of that group.
However, the previous Sect Hierarch prevented it, taking over as Succubus Sect Leader herself and pacifying that high-ranking member's anger with her own life as the price.Request for Monthly Tickets!]

Lilith, upon learning everything, longed for the day she could break through as a Level 9 Ghost Emperor and free the Succubus Clan from enslavement.
Ultimately, her hopes were shattered because a high-level official was about to break through as a Level 9 Ghost Emperor, so he needed Lilith to continue bolstering his foundations.
Lilith was also informed that she must quickly choose her successor as Sect Leader, and arrange the transfer within a week.
To prevent Lilith from escaping, a powerful Rune Restriction was placed on her.
In despair, Lilith remembered that she had once heard of a Rule Item within a branch of the Hundred Treasure Tower, which could remove any Rune Restriction other than those of the Rule type.
But with the Tower Master in place and without, the difficulty was entirely different.
On the last day, Lilith found an opportunity during a banquet hosted by the Da Hai Commercial Guild, which was attended by Sect Leaders from major groups.
The Hundred Treasure Tower Owner was also present.
Lilith decided to risk it all.
Using her mesmerizing ability and some items, she bewitched the Vice Building Owner, a Level 8 Ghost King.
Ads by Pubfuture
With this Vice Building Owner's authority, she successfully stole the Rule Item and broke her own restrictions.
If Lilith had left then, she might have truly escaped.
Sadly, constantly thinking of breaking through as a Level 9 Ghost Emperor, she went into the storage room of Hundred Treasure Tower, unable to resist the temptation and leave empty-handed.
In the end, because she disturbed the Tower Master while taking the treasures, he immediately returned and forcefully subdued her, then controlled her with a Slave Bracelet and took her back to the east.
Later, for some unknown reason, a Knight from the Succubus Sect, who was also a self-destructing Level 6 Contractor, arrived in the east and opened a Teleportation Rune for the Da Hai Commercial Guild.
Apparently, because of her status, even when she was the Sect Leader of the Succubus Sect, her funds never exceeded ten million.
Now, such a large sum of money had easily and effortlessly entered her bank account.
This shocked Lilith, significantly increasing her loyalty to Mu Rufeng, her master.
"You need some resources for cultivation; you may also consider buying some," Mu Rufeng said.
"Master, I am now at the Level 8 Peak, and to break through as a Ghost Emperor, ordinary resources are useless," Lilith replied.
"Oh, alright, then see for yourself," Mu Rufeng nodded.
He then continued to talk with Lilith for a while—not idly, but to obtain her original information and some information about the Mysterious World in the west.
This information was definitely scarce for the relevant departments.
While talking, suddenly, Mu Rufeng's expression brightened, and he quickly ceased the conversation with Lilith and hung up the phone.
Cheat activated.
[Host detected entering instance, cheat loading successful]
[Please choose one of the following three cheats]
[1. Water Element: You possess the power to control the Water Element]
[2. Wind Element: You possess the power to control the Wind Element]
[3. Thunder Element: You possess the power to control the Thunder Element]
"Hmm?" Mu Rufeng saw these three cheats and was momentarily surprised.
Today's cheats seemed somewhat different.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng fell into deep thought.
What is most abundant above the ocean? Nothing more than seawater, rainwater, storms, and thunder.
And these three cheats essentially encompassed these three most common natural elements.
The power of the Wind Element was the first that Mu Rufeng eliminated.
The Thunder Element represented an extremely powerful ability, and most importantly, as far as he knew from information held by the relevant departments, there had never been anyone or any entity in the Mysterious World with the power of thunder and lightning.
That being said, the Thunder Power must be extremely taboo for those entities, possessing tremendous lethality against them.
As for the Water Element, it could be said to be the most suitable ability on the open ocean.
Cheat powers were generally very strong; it seemed at first only to say that one could control the power of the Water Element.
If he made a choice, Mu Rufeng felt he might be able to control a certain range of the ocean as well.
Moreover, with countless Secret Treasures and powerful abnormal creatures below the ocean, Mu Rufeng's "get stronger by killing monsters" could achieve even more terrifying enhancements.
Mu Rufeng was quite inclined towards the power of the Water Element.
However, Mu Rufeng also had to consider the problems leftover by using cheats.
"Should I choose the Water Element or Thunder Element?" Mu Rufeng was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
If he chose the Water Element, combined with the "get stronger by killing monsters" cheat, charging into the Dead Sea for a grand slaughter would certainly skyrocket his attributes.
Choosing the Thunder Element, without saying much, facing those abnormalities, the lethality would definitely show geometric multiplication.
After a long time, Mu Rufeng made his choice; he chose the power of the Thunder Element.
Because Mu Rufeng thought of one thing, water can conduct electricity.
If he possessed the power of the Thunder Element, then he could also potentially kill a wide range of abnormal creatures in the Dead Sea.
When Mu Rufeng made his choice, suddenly, a tremendous power burst forth from within him.
"Zzzz~~!"
Massive Thunder Power roamed over Mu Rufeng's body.
Thunder light flashed, and a series of crackling sounds continually burst forth.
At the same time, Mu Rufeng could feel his strength and physical toughness soaring.
"Ouch~~!" Mu Rufeng's face began to twist.
The Thunder Power covered every inch of his body, constantly stimulating his flesh, his organs, and his cells.Chapter 283: Chapter 201 Cheat Has Been Credited [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_2

[Ding! After the tempering of Thunder Power, Constitution +1]
[Ding! After the tempering of Thunder Power, Constitution +1]
[Ding! After the tempering of Thunder Power, Constitution +1, Strength +1]
…
[Ding! After the tempering of Thunder Power, Constitution +1, Strength +1, Spirit +1]
This kind of notification sound, appeared a total of thirty times before it finally ceased.
With the cessation of the notification sounds, Mu Rufeng's twisted expression also returned to normal.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng had become taller, and his muscles had grown more robust.
He was transformed, just like the character in a martial arts novel who underwent the "Wash Marrow and Cut Bones" process.
Now, Mu Rufeng was utterly bare, with not a hair left on his body.
He had become bald, but also stronger.
The original 180cm Mu Rufeng had grown another 5cm, reaching 185cm.
His body's muscles had also gained more bulk, and overall, he didn't look disproportionate, but rather more pleasing to the eye.
Mu Rufeng calmed down and checked his attribute values.
[Strength]: 1998.7 (181.7 + 1817)
[Spirit]: 1790.8 (162.8 + 1628)
[Constitution]: 2036.1 (185.1 + 1851)
Constitution had increased by a total of thirty points, strength by ten, and spirit by five.
In other words, for every three increases in Constitution, there would be an increase of one point in Strength and 0.5 in Spirit.
These series of changes were something Mu Rufeng had not anticipated.
"Haha, it seems I really didn't pick the wrong cheat," Mu Rufeng laughed heartily, feeling the explosive power within his body.
Due to the importance of body attributes, the "You Die, I Live" skill was indeed a major BUFF, but the prerequisite BUG depended on the strength of your body's attributes.
"However, my current form is indeed a bit abnormal," Mu Rufeng muttered as he glanced at himself in the wall mirror, and immediately felt a bit troubled.
"Bandage, hurry up and conjure some clothes," Mu Rufeng called out to the bandage at his feet.
Obediently, the bandage began wrapping upwards from Mu Rufeng's ankles and quickly transformed into a set of bandage clothing, even considerately covering Mu Rufeng's head.
This way, no one could tell that Mu Rufeng was now bald.
Mu Rufeng then glanced at the various items scattered around his feet.
Previously, when the Thunder Element Power was enhancing his body, the bandage felt threatened and unraveled, causing many items to fall to the floor.
His clothing and pants underneath were naturally scorched and turned to ash as a result.
The bandage, understanding Mu Rufeng's intentions, promptly collected all the scattered items and stuffed them back into itself, making its back bulge slightly.
However, Mu Rufeng didn't feel the weight at all, unless he was leaning against a wall.
"Right, I need to search the room thoroughly," Mu Rufeng remembered that he hadn't yet looked for the rule cards and other such items after entering the room.
Quickly, Mu Rufeng found a small booklet in the drawer of the bedside table.
[Gluttonous Cruise Rule Manual (Deluxe VIP Edition)]
Chapter 1: Deck Rules
Chapter 2: Housing Rules
Chapter 3: Entertainment Area Rules
Chapter 4: Dining Hall Rules
Chapter 5: Taboo Rules
Chapter 6: Boarding Precautions
Chapter 7: Guest Conduct Guidelines
"Are there actually rule chapters?" Mu Rufeng exclaimed, quite taken aback.
It was his first time seeing the rules so clearly laid out before him.
Well, the Gluttonous Cruise is tremendously large, with many different areas.
He figured there were many more rules not listed in this booklet.
Places like the engine room, the bridge, etc., where guests are not allowed, naturally don't need to be disclosed to them.
Then, Mu Rufeng flipped to the page with the housing rules.
[Housing Rules]
1. In the Super VIP rooms, absolute safety is guaranteed; no one, not even the Captain, can initiate an attack.
2. The hallways on the 15th floor are extremely safe; even the Captain would have difficulty launching an attack.
3. Guests in the Super VIP rooms experience a fifty percent reduction in Hunger Level.
4. The efficiency of cultivating Ghost Power is increased tenfold.
5. Free from the obligation to consume the meat provided by the dining hall, guests can purchase their own.
6. When stopping at special locations, guests will be provided with access.
After reading the housing guidelines, Mu Rufeng fell deep into thought.
What concerned him most was the third point, which could reduce his Hunger Level by fifty percent.
You see, the main theme of the Gluttonous Cruise is gluttony.
Once you board, your Hunger Level will increase, and it will continue to grow the longer you stay on the ship.
He was thankful that he had eaten his fill before boarding.
But even so, Mu Rufeng was starting to feel hungry already.
Mu Rufeng knew that the fifth-tier rooms could reduce Hunger Level by five percent, the fourth-tier by ten percent, and the third-tier by fifteen percent.
This was information that Contractors had personally experienced and reported.
Following the pattern of the previous tiers, the departments speculated that the second-tier would offer a twenty percent reduction, and the first-tier twenty-five percent.
But to their surprise, the first-tier actually reached fifty percent.
The more your Hunger Level increases, the more you have to eat, and the Gluttonous Cruise provides various grades of cheap meat.
How cheap? Five bucks for a buffet spot. There are higher grades, of course, but the prices don't rise by much.
Consuming this kind of meat would lead one toward becoming unusually bloated, just as with oddities.

Chapter 284: Chapter 201 Cheat Has Been Credited [Vote for Monthly Ticket!]_3
The dozens of pig-headed Abnormalities were indeed attracted by the cheap meat.
The information from the relevant departments wasn't too extensive, and much of it was partially understood.
Once on board, whether guests or staff, all had to eat the meat provided by the dining hall.
However, in the rooms of super VIP guests, one could refuse and then purchase normal food.
"But what is that special location?" Mu Rufeng's gaze fell on the sixth point.
"Wait, could it be…" Mu Rufeng suddenly had some realization.
On the third day of the Gluttonous Cruise's voyage, it would stop at a certain place for a day, and set sail again the next day.
Combining the sixth point, it seemed that the third day would be the time to head to the special location.
In other words, this special stopover location should be an exclusive benefit for the super VIP rooms.
"Three days, huh? I'm quite eager to see what this special location is all about," Mu Rufeng said with a light chuckle.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng continued to browse through the other rules.
Without realizing it, half an hour had passed.
By now, Mu Rufeng had a general understanding of the Gluttonous Cruise.
The dining hall was an extremely important part of the Gluttonous Cruise.
Staff or guests, and even high-level ones such as the Captain or first mate, had to visit the dining hall three times a day.
Corresponding with morning, afternoon, and evening meals.
Guests, apart from some basic areas, were unable to go to many places. If they went against the rules, Abnormalities would come to eliminate them.
Mu Rufeng took out his phone and began to take pictures of the pamphlet.
Even though he didn't know what would ultimately happen with the Gluttonous Cruise, saving these rules now was definitely the right move.
"Boom—!"
Just then, the sound of thunder and lightning came from outside the window.
Whoosh—!
In no time, the downpour was torrential, and the sky's thunder continued to flash.
Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Gluttonous Cruise was enveloped for several kilometers around by the thunderous black clouds.
"Hmm? The opportunity has come, perfect for testing out the cheat's ability."
With such a godsend, Mu Rufeng certainly wouldn't miss it.
Under the thunderous weather, no matter how Mu Rufeng used his abilities, he probably wouldn't alarm anyone.
The most important point was that there was a rule in the handbook.
[During thunderstorms, please immediately return to your cabin and do not go out.]
This rule was not just for the guests but also applied to the staff, including those doing deck work and patrols.
Mu Rufeng got up and turned off the lights in the room.
Considering that Xiao Xiao was waiting outside the door, Mu Rufeng went straight to the window, first pulling the curtains, and then, using the property of Instantaneous Movement, he flashed outside in an instant.
While using Bai Jingwei's ability to stand on the glass, he then climbed up along the glass, and soon reached the top.
Not far away, there was an even taller building, the cockpit.
At the moment, the cockpit was pitch dark, obviously unoccupied.
"Could it be, the Captain hasn't returned yet?" Mu Rufeng thought for a moment and returned to the room.
He then took out his phone and directly called Han Chun, the manager of Blood Chamber Hotel.
After about five rings, the call connected.
"Mr. Mu, sorry, I was just sleeping. What can I do for you calling at this late hour?" Han Chun's tone was extremely respectful.
"I want to ask if those two who first checked into the eighth-floor VIP rooms are still there?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Mr. Mu, are you referring to the two guests who got into the eighth floor before it opened to the public?" Han Chun asked.
"That's right." Mu Rufeng nodded.
"One of the guests has left, but the one in room 801 hasn't yet," Han Chun said.
"The guest in 801, is it Zhu Shixuan?"
"Yes, Mr. Mu."
"Thank you. If he leaves, give me a call," Mu Rufeng added.
"Mr. Mu, rest assured. As soon as he checks out, I'll inform you immediately."
After hanging up, Mu Rufeng quickly left the room. This time, he didn't climb upwards but fell directly downwards.
Then, relying on his Instantaneous Movement ability, in no time, he safely landed on the side rail.
Large raindrops kept falling, instantly drenching Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng didn't mind this; he stayed next to the rail and then looked down.
At the moment, the violent storm and lightning turned the Dead Sea extremely restless.
But oddly, the Gluttonous Cruise remained very steady, as if the wind and waves couldn't affect it at all.
Just then, a giant Abnormality shark was tossed by the sea waves and then struck toward the hull of the Gluttonous Cruise.
This Abnormality shark's body was rotten to the point where bones were visible but was gigantic in size, at least several tens of meters long. The aura it emitted had reached Level 6.
However, at this moment, the Abnormality shark was emitting an aura of Fear.
With a loud "boom!"
The Abnormality shark hit the Gluttonous Cruise's hull.
The shark let out a mournful howl, falling towards the sea below.
Right at that moment, from the sky above, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck down, hitting the Abnormality shark instantly.
When the thunder light disappeared, the Abnormality shark had been turned into charred remains, falling down towards the sea.
However, before it could reach the sea surface, it was battered by the rainwater to pieces and then washed away by the sea, disappearing into nothingness.
A smile appeared on Mu Rufeng's face by the rail.
He could not only exert the power of thunder but also control the thunder within the clouds.
With just one strike, he had killed the Level 6 Abnormality shark instantly.
Mu Rufeng seemed to also feel that if he unleashed his full strength, he could draw down all the thunder from the dark clouds within several kilometers.
If it all focused on one point, with such immense power, Mu Rufeng felt that even a Level 8 Ghost King might not escape unscathed, let alone a Level 9 Ghost Emperor might have to avoid its edge, right?Chapter 285: Chapter 202 Vast Heavenly Might, Thunder Annihilates the World [Extra for 600 Monthly Votes]
Chapter 285: Chapter 202 Vast Heavenly Might, Thunder Annihilates the World [Extra for 600 Monthly Votes]
"Boom boom boom~~!"
The constant crashing sounds rang out.
Mu Rufeng could see clearly that many Dead Sea creatures were lifted by the waves and crashed against the hull of the Gluttonous Cruise.
One could imagine that in the sea, there definitely were numerous Abnormal creatures.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng's expression slightly changed.
He saw a gigantic wave, hundreds of meters high, forming ahead and rushing towards the Gluttonous Cruise.
No wonder the manual said not to go out in stormy weather, as it could whip up such huge waves.
If you were outside, you would definitely not escape unscathed.
Even if you were powerful, once you fell into the Dead Sea, you would be like a rootless duckweed. With the numerous Abnormal creatures in the Dead Sea, unless you were strong enough to traverse the Dead Sea, you would undoubtedly die.
At that moment, numerous Abnormal fishes leaped out from the giant wave as if they were flying fish.
Pubfuture Ads
Thud thud thud~~!
Numerous fish crashed against the hull, and the immense force directly caused them to become a bloody mess.
Many Abnormal fishes also fell directly onto the deck.
Mu Rufeng's gaze sharpened, and then he quickly summoned bandages, opened a large net, caught a dozen Abnormal fishes, and then flashed back to his room.
Facing the fierce waves, returning to his room was the best choice.
After returning to his room, Mu Rufeng turned on the light and then observed the dozen Abnormal fishes continuously jumping on the floor.
Each jump of these Abnormal fishes launched a Water Arrow, targeting Mu Rufeng.
However, they were all blocked by the bandages.
Soon, he saw these Abnormal fishes becoming weak and stopped shooting Water Arrows.
It seemed these Abnormal fishes, like real fishes, would gradually weaken after leaving the water, until they dried up and died.
Mu Rufeng stepped forward, only to see the sole Level 4 Abnormal fish suddenly flip its tail and then fly towards him.
It opened its mouth wide, revealing a set of fine teeth, and bit towards Mu Rufeng.
But before it could get close, Mu Rufeng punched, directly exploding the Abnormal fish.
The sparse flesh exploded around, and then was perfectly collected by the bandages, without soiling his residence.
Even the floor was covered with a layer of bandages.
[Trigger successful, Spirit +0.1, Ghost Qi +0.1%]
Mu Rufeng glanced at the remaining Abnormal fishes.
There were thirteen left, among them, two were third-level, five were two-level, and six were Level 1 Abnormal fishes.
Lower level Abnormal creatures still made up the majority.
All these Abnormal fishes were of the same species, the Level 1 fishes were only the size of a palm, while the Level 4 Abnormal fish that had previously ambushed Mu Rufeng was much larger, about the size of a basin.
Obviously, the higher the level, the stronger the strength, and the bigger the size.
Mu Rufeng stepped forward and stomped a Level 1 Abnormal fish to death.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, and there was no notification sound.
Mu Rufeng then stomped another Level 1 Abnormal fish to death, waited a moment, and then stomped a two-level Abnormal fish, followed by another two-level fish.
Still, there was no indication.
"It seems it's really as I thought," Mu Rufeng looked at the third-level Abnormal fish and then stomped it to death.

[Trigger successful, Strength +0.1, Ghost Qi +0.1%]
The cheat [get stronger by killing monsters] allows you to gain attribute points and Ghost Qi enhancement by killing creatures from the Mysterious World.
However, from his recent experiments, he knew that to gain attribute points and Ghost Qi, he had to kill creatures of the same level as him or higher.
Just like just now, Mu Rufeng killed Level 1 and Level 2 Abnormal fishes and got no response.
But killing the third-level and Level 4 Abnormal fishes, and even the previous Level 6 ones, successfully earned him attribute points and Ghost Qi enhancement.
"However, when I went to Qingshan Pig Farm last time, I also slaughtered some Level 1 pigs to trigger and gain attribute points?"
Mu Rufeng was somewhat bewildered.
Could it be that this cheat knows I'm becoming godlike, so it can also adjust itself?
Mu Rufeng promptly checked again the attributes of [get stronger by killing monsters].
After seeing it, Mu Rufeng's lips twitched slightly.
[Get stronger by killing monsters](Revised Version): Kill creatures from Mysterious World, randomly gain 0.1 Permanent Attribute Points, enhance oneself by one-thousandth Ghost Power.
Note 1: Killing Abnormal creatures below one's own level will not trigger.
Note 2: Considering the Energy Conservation Law, the cheat has been revised.
Revision Date: August 7, 2023, at 00:00.
Mu Rufeng returned from the Blood Chamber Hotel on August 6, which means the cheat was revised on the night of the same day, after midnight.
"Now invoking the Law of Energy Conservation, you're a cheat, shouldn't you be unreasonable?" murmured Mu Rufeng.
Although Mu Rufeng was upset, thinking about his next moves, he felt even worse.
"My attribute points, this loss is severe, cheat, you mentioned the Law of Energy Conservation, so if I kill higher Abnormal beings, shouldn't you double my gain?" Mu Rufeng complained.
[Host's intention detected, cheat modification in progress, cheat modification has been completed, please check it yourself.]
"Huh? Is the cheat alive?" Mu Rufeng was suddenly shocked.
"No, it should be like a program, and then I can provide feedback, and as long as the feedback is successful, it will be modified?"
Mu Rufeng quickly checked the updated cheat.

"Not bad, not bad. At least there's some consolation," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"By the way, haven't other cheats been corrected as well?" Mu Rufeng was startled, then quickly checked all his cheats.
He had now cleared six instances and obtained a total of six permanent cheats, which were:
[Bloodthirst]: Triggering this status causes irritability, restlessness, Forget Fear, and reduces pain perception by fifty percent. Note: Blood consumption is required to trigger this status. (Obtained by clearing the Crimson Preferred Dungeon)

The Platinum Card can be ignored; only [Get stronger by killing monsters] has been modified, the rest remains unchanged.
Mu Rufeng killed all those ghastly fish, then opened a window on one side and discarded the fragmented flesh and bones.
It was only while the window was open for that brief moment that a vast amount of wind howled in, along with a large volume of rainwater.
Luckily, Mu Rufeng blocked it with bandages, or else, the entire room might have been coated with a layer of moisture.
After closing the window, Mu Rufeng looked outside again.
He saw that outside it was still a whirlwind, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling, and the sea was still tumultuous with waves tens to hundreds of meters high surging from all directions.
Every now and then, towering waves several hundred meters high would crash down.
But even so, it was still unable to shake the Gluttonous Cruise.
"Then, let's begin!"
…
Mu Rufeng now stood at the very front of the deck.
Just over the waist-high bulwark lay the churning sea.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle～～!"
Large amounts of Thunder Power emerged from Mu Rufeng's body, continuously traveling over his body.
As the Thunder Power grew more abundant, Mu Rufeng began to emanate thunder light, and the thunder started to spread to his surroundings.
The pouring rainwater was vaporized before it could even approach, due to the thunder light.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng once again amplified his attributes tenfold by killing the strange creatures in the sea.
Then, Mu Rufeng stretched a finger to his mouth corner, gave a light bite, and suddenly his mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
Bloodthirst activated, and All Attributes directly increased by another ten percent.
[Strength]: 2199.7 (181.8+1818+199.9)
[Spirit]: 1972.3 (163+1630+179.3)
[Constitution]: 2239.7 (185.1+1851+203.6)
Among these three attributes, two had already broken two thousand.
"Then, let's start the Thunder Feast!"
Unconsciously, Mu Rufeng's body had already drifted hundreds of meters into the high sky.
His body, engulfed by the thunder light, shone like the sun in the pitch-black night sky.
The thunder in the high sky seemed to be invoked, continuously rumbling in response to Mu Rufeng.
Boom～～!
At that moment, countless thunderbolts suddenly fell from the sky, like the end of the world brought by thunder.
The dark world was illuminated, with the blinding thunder light covering everything.
No one knew how long it had been, but the thunder light gradually faded, and darkness reclaimed the sky.
The previously cloud-covered sky had also disappeared, and blood-red moonlight enveloped everything, casting the Dead Sea into shades of red.
The sea had returned to calm, yet on its surface, large swathes of mysterious creatures floated.
The Gluttonous Cruise, however, seemed to have remained unchanged from before, not even a flake of its paint had fallen off.
Mu Rufeng had also returned to his room by now.
He lay in bed, extremely pale, his whole body limp as if drained of all vitality.
He had just unleashed all his strength, drawing thunder from within several kilometers, amplifying the power further, all striking down upon the sea.
This strike had depleted all of Mu Rufeng's physical strength and Ghost Power.
Mu Rufeng now had no strength left, his stomach growling with hunger, but he was so tired that he had no desire to eat. All he wanted to do was to sleep well.
…
Meanwhile, in the dark cockpit.
Deputy Zhao sat at the helm, shivering.
He was a Level 7 Ghost General, and with the power of the Gluttonous Cruise, he could reach the strength of a Level 8 Ghost King.
But facing the previous cataclysmic Heavenly Might, which seemed like the end of the world with thunder, not a shred of resistance stirred in his heart.
That sense of trepidation, even within the cockpit, pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, though of course, he didn't need to breathe.
"No good, I must hurry and leave this area," Deputy Zhao immediately prepared to control the cruise.Chapter 287: Chapter 202 Vast Heavenly Might, Thunder Annihilates the World [Extra for 600 Monthly Votes]_3
Chapter 287: Chapter 202 Vast Heavenly Might, Thunder Annihilates the World [Extra for 600 Monthly Votes]_3
However, he soon discovered something was off.
Some of the instrument panels on the machines in the cockpit were oddly turned off.
Even, when he turned on the light, the lights flickered.
Soon after, he operated the machine and communicated with the Gluttonous Cruise again, and then he simply sat down straight in the driver's seat.
"Damn, so many machines are damaged."
In fact, stored soul banknotes could be used to repair the hull.
But because it had been severely damaged by the Bloody Train before, all the reserves had been drained, even though a fair bit had been accounted for in recent times.
However, other than keeping some for operation, the rest of the soul banknotes were used for repairing the hull.
In fact, the higher-ups were the happiest during such times.
Because if there's no money for repairs, the Gluttonous Cruise itself would release its own shares, then gather soul banknotes to repair.
Even he had emptied all his savings to increase his shares in Gluttonous Cruise to one percent.
And their captain, having taken the Big Head, probably at least took another five percent of the shares.
"Damn, why hasn't the captain come back yet? Without the captain, we can't buy shares, and the machines can't be repaired."
"It's over, if the captain doesn't come back by tomorrow, the Gluttonous Cruise will have to absorb the energy of the employees and guests to repair the hull."
Deputy Zhao's face was filled with fear.
You must understand, last time because of the emergency, they had already done it once, causing a terrible impact.
It was because of this that some of the prestigious VIP clients didn't dare to board again, and new clients decreased significantly.
You could say, the turnover directly halved.
The captain arranged a series of events and reassured repeatedly to bring some old clients back.
Like now, half of the twenty super VIP suites were already occupied.
If it happened again this time, without a doubt, the reputation would be completely lost, and old clients would cease to exist.
Thus, the Gluttonous Cruise would become more dilapidated, and his one percent share would turn into a pile of waste paper.
Thinking this, he immediately took out his phone and dialed the captain's number.
…
It was unclear how much time had passed when Mu Rufeng woke up in a daze.
It was not because he had slept enough, but because he had been woken up by hunger.
The echoes in his stomach were continuous like beating drums.
Mu Rufeng smacked his lips, his mouth dry and thirsty.
Although his room reduced his Hunger Level by fifty percent,
but, with his high consumption yesterday and just being on the Gluttonous Cruise, his Hunger Level increased twofold.
And with time passing, it would only get stronger.
Mu Rufeng got up, walked to the desk, then pulled out the Gourmet's Tablecloth and threw it directly on the table.
He then took out ten thousand soul banknotes and threw them on the table.
Quickly, a generous spread of dishes appeared in front of Mu Rufeng.
These dishes were not ordinary, all ingredients were Spiritual Objects, which could not only fill the stomach faster but also enhance his Ghost Power.
Ordinary food could hardly satisfy Mu Rufeng's appetite anymore.
Smelling the scent of the food, Mu Rufeng felt a sour sensation in his cheeks.
Mu Rufeng swallowed non-existent saliva and couldn't hold back anymore, directly grabbing a roast wing as thick as an arm and tearing off a large slice of roast meat.
In just over ten minutes, the entire table of dishes had been devoured by Mu Rufeng.
Even the fresh soup was all drunk up by him.
"Whew! Refreshing!" Mu Rufeng lay on the couch, patting his slightly protruding stomach, his face full of contentment.
Mu Rufeng took out his phone and saw that it was only 6:30 now.
However, Mu Rufeng saw several missed calls on his phone.
"Hmm? Han Chun? Could it be that the captain left?" Mu Rufeng immediately called Han Chun back.
The phone rang only twice before being picked up.
"Manager Han, sorry, I was sleeping earlier and just woke up."
"No worries, Mr. Mu. Oh, by the way, that guest named Zhu Shixuan has left," Han Chun quickly said.
"I got it, Manager Han, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
"Mr. Mu, you're too kind."
"Oh, one of my subordinates should be coming to see you in the next few days, just find her any position; her name is Lilith," Mu Rufeng said.
"Lilith, Miss? The department head of Crimson Preferred's product management, Miss Lilith?" Han Chun's tone suddenly became excited.
"Yeah, that's right. You know her?" Mu Rufeng was somewhat surprised.
"Of course I know her; I'm also a fan of Miss Lilith. Is Miss Lilith coming over? That's great."
"Mr. Mu, I can't believe that Miss Lilith is actually one of your subordinates," Han Chun said excitedly.
"Well… haha, I've got something to do here, so I'll hang up first," Mu Rufeng didn't want to say more and directly hung up the phone.
He hadn't expected Han Chun to be a fan of Lilith too.
"Right, I still don't know how many Abnormal creatures I killed last night or how many attribute points I gained?" Mu Rufeng then remembered to check his attributes.
While Mu Rufeng was controlling the lightning yesterday, a series of notification sounds in his mind nearly made his head crash.
[Name]: Mu Rufeng
[Age]: 24
[Level]: LV3 (0/4)
[Strength]: 401.8
[Spirit]: 399.1
Pubfuture Ads
[Constitution]: 433
[Contract Slot]: LV4 Deceit Baby (Mu Guiying)/LV4 Bai Jingwei
[Ghost Power]: Level 5
[Title]: [Crazy Driver]…
[Skill]: [You Die, I Live]…
[Luck Value]: 4
Item: [Crimson Preferred Stock Contract]…
soul coin: 41.47 billion
"Holy shit!" Mu Rufeng instantly let out a classic curse.
His strength had increased by 220 points, his Spirit had increased by 236.1 points, his Constitution had increased by 247.9 points.
Even the Ghost Power had broken through from Level 4 to Level 5.
What an incredible feat.Chapter 288: Chapter 203 Damaged Gluttonous Cruise [Double Monthly Tickets!]
Chapter 288: Chapter 203 Damaged Gluttonous Cruise [Double Monthly Tickets!]
Excluding Level 1 and Level 2 Abnormalities, if we were to count them all as third-level Abnormalities, that would amount to eradicating seven thousand Abnormal Creatures.
There might have been some higher-level Abnormal Creatures, but certainly not as many as the third-level ones.
But when compared to Level 1 and two-level Abnormal Creatures, there was no comparison at all.
He believed that the majority of those he had killed were first or second levels.
"This round, a huge profit."
"We need more storms like that to make good money," Mu Rufeng revealed a smile on his face.
With the Thunder Power he controlled on his own, although he could cause considerable destruction, the range of damage was definitely incomparable to that caused during a storm.
At the same time, Mu Rufeng also learned something, a piece of information that made him exceedingly happy.
This was that the discount coupon wasn't only useful for payments; it also applied to the use of Ghost Power, stamina, Spirit, and more, all at a ten percent discount.
What did that mean? For instance, the Ghost Power required by Mu Rufeng to perform Instantaneous Movement, after a ten percent discount, only needed ninety percent of the original power.
Ads by Pubfuture
The same went for running; the stamina consumed during running also enjoyed a ten percent reduction.
Mu Rufeng had only realized this while he was controlling the Thunder Power last night.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to return to his room; he likely would have fainted on the deck.
The reason he hadn't noticed before was mainly because his Ghost Power was so dense and the consumption when using his abilities was so little that he hadn't paid attention to this detail.
"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Mu Rufeng turned and looked toward the entrance.
It was only six-thirty, who would be knocking at his door?
"Knock knock knock!"
"Mr. Mu, are you awake? There's an urgent situation," Xiao Xiao's voice came from outside.
"An urgent situation?" Mu Rufeng did not respond; instead, he silently walked to the door without making a sound.
Outside the door, knocks still rang out, along with Xiao Xiao's calls.
Mu Rufeng slightly opened the peephole cover and looked outside.
Xiao Xiao, with some dark circles under her eyes, was knocking on the door.
It seemed as though Xiao Xiao had spent the night here?
"Mr. Mu, please wake up?" Xiao Xiao seemed anxious.
"What's the urgent situation?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.
"I don't know. Deputy Zhao asked me to wake you up. He said he'll come over and talk to you in a bit," Xiao Xiao quickly explained.
"Deputy Zhao?" Mu Rufeng's brows furrowed slightly, then after a moment of thought, he opened the door.
Mu Rufeng glanced around and, as expected, saw Deputy Zhao not far away, knocking on another door.
Aside from Xiao Xiao, at the doorways to the rooms on his left and right, there were also two players dressed in maid outfits knocking on doors.
As Contractors, as long as they stayed in the super VIP suites, they had their exclusive maid service.
It seemed that the occupants of the adjoining rooms were Sun Lujia and Yang Zhaodi.
On Deputy Zhao's end, he had also knocked on a door.
But quickly, a voice full of expletives came from within the room.
In the face of the guest's curse, Deputy Zhao was not angered but, instead, showed an apologetic face, hunching his body and continuously apologizing.
Then, the door closed abruptly, and Deputy Zhao stood upright, adjusting his clothing before knocking on the next guest's door.
"Xiao Xiao, what exactly happened? Did Deputy Zhao tell you?" Mu Rufeng looked at Xiao Xiao and asked.
"I don't know. Deputy Zhao just told me to wake you first. He said he would come over and talk to you," Xiao Xiao replied.
Mu Rufeng did not answer before he saw the doors to the rooms on both sides open simultaneously.
It seemed Yang Zhaodi and Sun Lujia, having heard Mu Rufeng's voice, also opened their doors.
The two quickly came over and inquired about the situation.
Mu Rufeng was slightly surprised to see Yang Zhaodi on this floor; he didn't expect that Yang Zhaodi, a solo player, would spend seventy thousand for a super VIP suite.
Mu Rufeng just shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.
"Let's wait for Deputy Zhao to come over," Mu Rufeng guessed there might be a connection with last night's events.
"Mu, do you know what happened last night?" Yang Zhaodi suddenly asked.
Pubfuture Ads
"Last night? I don't know, I went straight to sleep after I got back to my room," Mu Rufeng said.
"Then you missed a big show, last night was truly astonishing," Yang Zhaodi said, somewhat trembling with fear.
"Indeed, that scene, I probably won't be able to forget it for the rest of my life. I felt as insignificant as an ant," Sun Jialu added.
"Yes, I was almost scared to death just staying in the corridor last night," Xiao Xiao also said, still frightened.
The two other players quickly joined them, discussing the terrifying events of the previous night.
The fifteenth floor had a total of twenty rooms, which were the most luxurious super VIP suites on the cruise with the best amenities.
And at the end of the corridors on both sides, there were small decks with pools, chairs, umbrellas, and other facilities.
Because of last night's storm, the glass doors on both sides were automatically closed, preventing the wind and rain from getting in.
However, because they were glass doors, the thunder light nearly blinded the players waiting outside.
The terrifying aura released by the thunder also filled them with extreme fear.
"The sea is terrifying indeed. Now, you can see so many Dead Sea Creatures' corpses on the surface," Yang Zhaodi said.
"Is that so?" Mu Rufeng immediately walked to the end of the corridor on one side.

Chapter 289: Chapter 203 Damaged Gluttonous Cruise [Double Monthly Tickets!]_2
Because he was in Room 1518, he was close to the corridor.
Before long, he arrived on the small deck.
At this moment, the sky had begun to brighten, and the situation upon the sea was clearly visible.
The sea surface was densely littered with the corpses of Abnormal creatures.
Various bizarrely shaped fish were seen, though most seemed to be Level 1 or Level 2 Abnormal fish.
However, he spotted a giant Abnormal creature tens of meters in size. Even in death, one could tell from the aura it exuded that it was a presence of the Level 7 Ghost General tier.
Mu Rufeng looked around and noticed that all sides of the Gluttonous Cruise were surrounded by the same scene.
"It's too shocking," Sun Lujia couldn't help but exclaim with a gulp.
"What you see is the aftermath of last night's Thunder Sea; even Level 7 Ghost Generals couldn't escape it," Yang Zhaodi said slowly.
Mu Rufeng felt no shock, only regret and sorrow.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely sorry for disturbing your rest so early," Deputy Zhao appeared behind them unexpectedly.
"Deputy Zhao, what exactly happened?" Mu Rufeng turned to Deputy Zhao and asked.
Yang Zhaodi and the others turned their attention to Deputy Zhao as well.
"Mr. Mu, you've seen the situation out on the sea, haven't you?" Deputy Zhao asked, pointing to the Abnormal creatures on the sea surface.
Without waiting for Mu Rufeng and the others to respond, Deputy Zhao continued, "Last night's storm, although it didn't damage the main structure of the Gluttonous Cruise, caused huge destruction to the machinery."
"As a result, not only have we lost the ability to navigate, but we are also rapidly running out of electricity. In order to repair, we urgently need a large amount of Ghost Power for support."
"But our captain isn't here, and without the captain's authority to unlock access, we don't have sufficient funds. Therefore, the Gluttonous Cruise will have to absorb the power of the passengers and crew on board to repair itself."
"As a guest of the Gluttonous Cruise, as long as you stay in your room, you won't be affected," Deputy Zhao explained.
"What?" Sun Lujia exclaimed in shock.
"…There are so many players on the ship…" Yang Zhaodi's face suddenly became solemn.
"Well, it's their own fault for not having money," Deputy Zhao said with a cold laugh.
Unless they were guests of the super VIP suites, he wouldn't go and notify them.
Otherwise, some guests would definitely spend their money to open super VIP suites, and if that happened, the loss would be significant.
After all, once the Gluttonous Cruise started absorbing, not only would the guests' money be absorbed, but their very beings would also be taken.
"Deputy Zhao, what about… what about us?" Xiao Xiao suddenly asked.
"You? We don't need you here anymore; go downstairs," Deputy Zhao directed Xiao Xiao and the other two to go downstairs.
Upon hearing this, the three of them turned deathly pale.
In Deputy Zhao's words, it was clear they had been handed a death sentence.
As soon as he spoke, Sun Lujia, Yang Zhaodi, and Mu Rufeng all turned their gaze toward Deputy Zhao.
"Isn't there any other way?" Xiao Xiao said, "There are so many Abnormal fish in the sea, can't the Gluttonous Cruise just consume them?"
"Yes, why can't the Gluttonous Cruise just swallow those corpses?" Sun Lujia nodded and added.
"Xiao Xiao is right. With so many corpses, isn't that enough?" Mu Rufeng also spoke up at this point.
Hearing this, Deputy Zhao shook his head and said, "Mr. Mu, this is the Dead Sea. The Ghost Power within creatures that die in the Dead Sea dissipates quickly and is absorbed by the Dead Sea."
"Last night, the Gluttonous Cruise consumed a large number of bodies before the Ghost Power within the corpses had dispersed."
"If it hadn't been for that, I would probably have come looking for you last night."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that those bodies are still there; in reality, they no longer hold any value, not even Level 1 Abnormal fish would eat those corpses."
"In a few days, these corpses will disintegrate, dissolve, and disappear into the Dead Sea," Deputy Zhao explained slowly.
"So, are we destined to die?" Xiao Xiao's face turned pale.
"Wuwuwu, I don't want to die," a maid burst into tears; she was a new player.
Another maid, a Level 2 Contractor, had an indecisive look in her eyes, as if pondering something.
"Brother Mu…" Xiao Xiao looked toward Mu Rufeng at this moment.
Clearly, she thought that only Mu Rufeng could save them now.
"Where is your captain?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Our captain had some matters to attend to on land. I have already notified him, and he will wait for us at the next docking point," Deputy Zhao said.
"You said there are no funds?" Mu Rufeng asked suspiciously.
"That's correct," Deputy Zhao nodded.
"Doesn't your captain have money?"
"The captain surely has money, but he isn't on board now," Deputy Zhao explained.
"Then you must have a bank card. Let the captain transfer the money to you, and then you take it out to feed the Gluttonous Cruise."
"Mr. Mu, you are a Contractor and seem to be a little unfamiliar with our operations. Although the captain and I control the Gluttonous Cruise."
"But we won't use our own money to feed the Gluttonous Cruise unless it sells shares. But without the captain's proposal, even if the Gluttonous Cruise wanted to sell shares, it wouldn't be possible."
"Mr. Mu, if you don't have anything else, it's better for you to return to your room as soon as possible," Deputy Zhao's tone grew impatient.
After all, even though Mu Rufeng was a Contractor and had spent over a hundred thousand soul banknotes yesterday, he still wasn't considered significant by Deputy Zhao.Chapter 290: Chapter 203 Damaged Gluttonous Cruise [Double Votes for Monthly Pass!]
Chapter 290: Chapter 203 Damaged Gluttonous Cruise [Double Votes for Monthly Pass!]
Had it not been for the rules of the Gluttonous Cruise, he might have simply done away with Mu Rufeng.
Being scolded by the seven other guests had been irritating enough, and the many questions Mu Rufeng and his group posed made him truly impatient.
Upon hearing this, Mu Rufeng did not speak.
Indeed, neither the captain nor Deputy Zhao would use their own money to feed the Gluttonous Cruise.
To get them to put up money, the Gluttonous Cruise would have to sell shares.
And to get the Gluttonous Cruise to proactively propose selling shares was utterly impossible, not even if its survival were at stake.
It would require a proposal from the largest shareholder, who was undoubtedly the captain.
"Deputy Zhao, you should be a shareholder too, right? Can't you propose something?"
"No, to make a proposal, aside from the captain, only our Gluttonous Cruise's most distinguished Black Gold Card members can."
"Alright, guest, please return to your room immediately, or else, if something undesirable happens later, I won't be able to decide." Deputy Zhao's tone changed.
Pubfuture Ads
"You three, get downstairs immediately." Deputy Zhao turned to Xiao Xiao and the others and commanded.
"Deputy Zhao, I have a way to resolve the Gluttonous Cruise issue," Mu Rufeng suddenly said.
"You have a way? Guest, do you realize what you're saying?" Deputy Zhao gave Mu Rufeng a once-over, his face full of disbelief.
"When I say I have a way, naturally, I do. How about we discuss it in my room?" Mu Rufeng replied indifferently.
"Sorry, guest, I don't have time for jokes, I have a lot of things to deal with." Deputy Zhao outright refused.
A joke, indeed—a mere Level 3 Contractor telling him he could resolve the issue was ludicrous.
Had it not been for the issue of identity, Deputy Zhao would have pounced and torn him apart long ago.
"Deputy Zhao, I'm not joking with you, and if I recall correctly, your captain is named Zhu Shixuan, right?" Mu Rufeng spoke coldly.
Deputy Zhao's attitude also irked Mu Rufeng a bit.
"Hmm? How do you know our captain's name?" Deputy Zhao was somewhat surprised.
"Now, can we talk properly?" Mu Rufeng asked coldly.
"Although I don't know how you learned our captain's name, I can give you three minutes of my time." Deputy Zhao finished speaking and turned, heading toward Mu Rufeng's room.
"You go back to your rooms first and wait for my message, Xiao Xiao, you and the others go into their rooms." Mu Rufeng said.
After speaking, he didn't wait for their response and strode toward his own room.
Before long, Mu Rufeng and Deputy Zhao arrived in the room.
Mu Rufeng closed the door and then turned to look at Deputy Zhao.
Yet Deputy Zhao made himself comfortable on the sofa and then looked up at Mu Rufeng, "You have two minutes left, and I am keen to hear what your method is."
"Deputy Zhao, you just said that Black Gold Card members of the Gluttonous Cruise can suggest proposals for shares, right?"
Mu Rufeng took a seat on the opposite sofa and began speaking calmly.
"Of course, what, do you think you can rush for a Black Gold membership?"
"Of course." Mu Rufeng nodded.
"Ha ha, that's the funniest joke I've heard. Do you not know that to become one of our Gluttonous Cruise's Black Gold Card customers, you need to recharge a full hundred million soul banknotes?" Deputy Zhao said, laughing.
"A Contractor? Heh, guest, I'm not going to play along with you." Deputy Zhao shook his head and stood up.
Mu Rufeng said nothing, only took out his Heaven and Earth Bank Black Gold Card and let its aura emanate.
"You… this…" Instantly, Deputy Zhao's gaze was drawn to the bank card in Mu Rufeng's hand.
"Distinguished Mr. Mu, I was rude earlier, I am truly sorry."fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Deputy Zhao immediately bowed, his face full of sincere apology.
"So, can I get a Black Gold Card now?" Mu Rufeng said lightly.
"Mr. Mu, of course you can."
Deputy Zhao immediately came to Mu Rufeng's side and then crouched on the floor, holding up a card slot.
This attitude was a stark contrast to before.
"Mr. Mu, you just need to swipe your bank card in the slot and recharge soul banknotes, then you can get a Black Gold Card of the Gluttonous Cruise," said Deputy Zhao with a fawning tone.
Mu Rufeng played with the bank card in his hand and said dispassionately, "Explain clearly to me, after my recharge, will there be any hindrance or restriction to the proposal to purchase shares."
Even if it cost a little more money to get a stake in the Gluttonous Cruise, he wouldn't mind.
Deputy Zhao promptly explained to Mu Rufeng.
As long as Mu Rufeng became a Black Gold Card user, he could propose to buy shares during a special crisis situation on the cruise.
If the captain was on the ship, he could use his authority to refuse.
Pubfuture Ads
However, the captain wasn't there right now, so Mu Rufeng could certainly propose.
The only limitation with such a purchase was that he could buy at most one percent of the shares.
This rule was also set by the captain, and only the captain could set such a rule.
In this way, it was designed to prevent power usurpation.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the obsequious Deputy Zhao and sneered inwardly.
He knew that Deputy Zhao was definitely concealing some information from him.
Mu Rufeng took the bank card and directly swiped one hundred million.
Or rather, ninety million—because he had a ten percent discount coupon.
The next second, a bloody glow emerged from mid-air.
Seconds later, the blood light vanished, and a blood-red card appeared there, then slowly descended, floating in front of Mu Rufeng.
The face of the card depicted the image of the Gluttonous Cruise, while the other side showed the tumultuous Dead Sea.
It emitted a terrifying aura, unique to the Gluttonous Cruise.Chapter 291: Chapter 204 Became a Shareholder of Gluttonous Cruise [Double Monthly Tickets Request!]
Chapter 291: Chapter 204 Became a Shareholder of Gluttonous Cruise [Double Monthly Tickets Request!]
Mu Rufeng extended his hand, and the Black Gold Card automatically landed in his palm without him reaching for it.
[Gluttonous Cruise Black Gold Card]: The most prestigious Black Gold Card of the Gluttonous Cruise, obtainable by a one-time recharge of one hundred million soul coins or more on the Gluttonous Cruise, symbolizing elite status.
Effects: Holding this card allows complimentary rides on the Gluttonous Cruise with a 40% discount on all onboard expenses. It can spend soul coins to arrange for the Gluttonous Cruise to pick up guests, including from the real world.
Note 1: If requesting pickup from the real world, it's limited to once a month.
Note 2: The balance of the Black Gold Card must not fall below ten million; otherwise, it will be downgraded.
Special Effect: Can to some extent command the staff.
Current balance: 100,000,000.
"Huh?" Mu Rufeng exclaimed in surprise in his mind.
It seemed an incredible thing had happened.
He had a 10% discount coupon and only spent ninety million, and then he recharged one hundred million, leaving his balance also at one hundred million.
Ads by Pubfuture
If he could withdraw this money, wouldn't he make a profit of ten million?
However, Mu Rufeng then remembered the Black Gold Card of the Bloody Train.
The balance on that card could only be refunded one-tenth; presumably, it was similar here.
"Mr. Mu, you have now become the fifteenth Black Gold Card holder of our Gluttonous Cruise, and I am honored to process your membership card personally," Deputy Zhao said, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
It was exciting indeed, as processing a card meant he could directly receive a one percent commission.
With that one hundred million, that was one million—a substantial fortune indeed.
"Can the money in the Black Gold Card be refunded?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Deputy Zhao looked confused, not quite catching on.
"Um, Mr. Mu, once recharged, the money cannot be refunded," Deputy Zhao responded quickly.
"Oh, what about proposing to buy shares?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"Mr. Mu, you only need to hold the Black Gold Card and think about it silently in your mind," Deputy Zhao replied.
As he spoke, he stood up from the ground, "Mr. Mu, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your rest any further."
With that, Deputy Zhao walked toward the door.
Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng silently contemplated the words 'purchasing shares' in his mind.
[Respected Black Gold Card Holder, your request has been accepted, the purchase of shares is subject to the Captain's approval.]
[Captain Zhu Shixuan is currently not on this cruise, would you like to inquire with the third-largest shareholder, Zhao Youren?]
A mechanical voice emerged in Mu Rufeng's mind.
Ads by Pubfuture
"Third largest shareholder, Zhao Youren? Deputy Zhao?" at this moment, Mu Rufeng realized what Deputy Zhao had concealed from him.
"Yes!" Mu Rufeng responded.
Then, Deputy Zhao paused slightly in his steps, then continued towards the door.
Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng received another notification from the Gluttonous Cruise.
[Third largest shareholder Zhao Youren has denied your request, you cannot purchase shares until you have his approval]
"Deputy Zhao, aren't you going to explain this to me?" Mu Rufeng asked Zhao Youren slowly.
"Mr. Mu, thank you for recharging one hundred million. Now, the Gluttonous Cruise has sufficient funds to repair itself."
"Perhaps, with your one hundred million, we might even restore it to a Level 9 vehicle. Here, I, Zhao Youren, am genuinely thankful to you." Deputy Zhao bowed deeply to Mu Rufeng, then without further explanation, he reached for the doorknob above the door handle.
"Zzzzzz~!" A sound of electricity buzzed.
"Deputy Zhao, come here, let's continue chatting," Mu Rufeng said with a calm expression, thunder light flickering in his hand.
Zhao Youren froze in place.
He could feel a destructive aura emerging behind him.
Slowly turning his head, upon seeing the thunder in Mu Rufeng's hand, he instantly became terror-stricken.
Seeing this thunder, he remembered the apocalyptic thunderstorm from last night.
"Gulp!" Zhao Youren swallowed hard, quickly calming his nerves again.
"I never thought Mr. Mu would possess the power of thunder; this is truly unbelievable."
"I've never seen anyone control such a terrifying power before," Zhao Youren elevated Mu Rufeng's status significantly in his mind.
Yet, Zhao Youren failed to connect Mu Rufeng with last night's apocalyptic thunderstorm.
"Deputy Zhao, did you perhaps forget last night's event?"
Mu Rufeng smiled indifferently, then with a sweep of his hand, dozens of thunders burst forth from his body.
In an instant, Deputy Zhao was enveloped by the thunders.
A sensation of imminent death surged across his mind, and Deputy Zhao instinctively tried to harness the power of the Gluttonous Cruise.
But he quickly suppressed this action, seeing that Mu Rufeng seemed to only be confining him and not attacking directly.
"Mr. Mu, was last night's thunderstorm under your control?" Deputy Zhao steadied his emotions and tentatively asked.
"If not me, who else? And when have you ever seen thunder and lightning in a thunder cloud fall together? Have you ever encountered a being in the Abnormality World with the power of thunder?" Mu Rufeng spoke indifferently.
"So, I think it's best if you just agree," Mu Rufeng said coldly.
The power of the thunder grew stronger, that horrifying aura putting immense pressure on Deputy Zhao.
It seemed as if a single 'no' word would bring the thunder right upon him.
Even if he had advanced to a Level 8 Ghost King, he might still suffer substantial damage.Chapter 292: Chapter 204: Became a Shareholder of Gluttonous Cruise [Double Requests for Monthly Tickets!]_2

There's no other way; the power of Thunder is simply too lethal for their abnormalities.
Deputy Zhao remained silent, but eventually, his aura escalated to that of a level eight Ghost King. Clearly, he still didn't want to agree.
Because, whether it was the Captain or Deputy Zhao, neither wanted to see another shareholder added to the Gluttonous Cruise.
Deputy Zhao couldn't believe it. Could this mere third-level Contractor, even if he possessed Thunder Power, really one-shot him, a temporary level eight Ghost King?
As long as he wasn't one-shot, once Deputy Zhao left this place, then Mu Rufeng, even if he were stronger by one level, could no longer threaten Deputy Zhao.
"It seems you've made a very unwise decision," Mu Rufeng said slowly.free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Mr. Mu, your ability is indeed strong, but to cause the terrifying attack like last night, you would need the presence of Thunder Clouds, wouldn't you?"
"We're on board the Gluttonous Cruise, and you are our most esteemed guest. It's better not to let things get too stiff," Deputy Zhao said.
"Rumble~~!"
At this moment, a dull rumbling sound came from outside the window.

Mu Rufeng quickly looked out the window and then a smile appeared on his face, "Deputy Zhao, look, it's thundering."
Deputy Zhao's face turned a bit ugly at this moment.
Yes, it was thundering.
If they had another round like last night, they feared the Gluttonous Cruise might even devour its own shareholder.
Moreover, last night's attack was just conducted through water conduction, affecting the Gluttonous Cruise.
What would happen if the Thunder struck the Gluttonous Cruise directly?
Deputy Zhao was a little afraid to think about it.
"So, you still choose to refuse?" Mu Rufeng slowly stood up from the sofa and looked coldly at Deputy Zhao.
"Mu… Mr. Mu, you're currently in an instance. If you destroy the Gluttonous Cruise, you would be erased for not completing the instance," Deputy Zhao said, trying to calm himself.
"An instance being destroyed would merely result in my being forcefully sent back to the real world, who told you I would be erased?" Mu Rufeng scoffed.
Deputy Zhao, upon hearing this, found himself at a loss for words, his attempt at deceit had failed.
At the same time, Deputy Zhao also heard the Gluttonous Cruise's questioning voice in his mind.
"Well, I need to ask the Captain first," Deputy Zhao didn't refuse directly.
"The Captain? Haha, I'll count to three, 3!" Mu Rufeng snorted and began to countdown.
"No, Mr. Mu, if I agree now, once the Captain returns, I'm dead for sure. I really will die; I still owe him millions," Deputy Zhao's face became increasingly frightened.
"2!"
"Mr. Mu, the Captain exercises a pathological control over the Gluttonous Cruise. If I wasn't his longest-following member, I wouldn't have even been able to acquire this one-percent share of the Gluttonous Cruise."
"Plus, half of that money was loaned to me by the Captain."
"If Mr. Mu insists on this course of action, then please, Mr. Mu, destroy the Gluttonous Cruise. It will spare me the torment of dying at the Captain's hands," Deputy Zhao stared intently at Mu Rufeng.
As soon as Mu Rufeng made his move, he would escape immediately.
"If that's the case, how about I buy your shares and then you return to live on land?" In the end, Mu Rufeng stopped before saying "1."
"You want to buy my shares?" Deputy Zhao was somewhat shocked, not expecting Mu Rufeng to make such an offer.
"How much I'm willing to pay for the shares, I'll give you double for your share," Mu Rufeng said gravely.
"Okay," Deputy Zhao agreed immediately.
"Huh? You've agreed?" This caught Mu Rufeng off guard; he really hadn't expected Deputy Zhao to agree so readily.
"But not at the current buying price, it should be double the market price of the Gluttonous Cruise before," Deputy Zhao said.
"No problem," Mu Rufeng agreed just as readily.
Thinking about it, because the Gluttonous Cruise had been downgraded to level eight, its share price had plummeted.
"The previous share price of the Gluttonous Cruise was ten billion, one percent is one hundred million."
"My bank card number is ****, transfer two hundred million to me first, and I'll hand over the contract to you. Then you can propose to continue buying shares yourself."
"The Captain is not here, you have the authority," Deputy Zhao said.

Mu Rufeng scoffed at that, "Do I look like a fool to you? To transfer money to you first?"
With that, Mu Rufeng pulled out a blank Rule Contract.
With a thought, the content appeared on it, and then Mu Rufeng bit his finger and wrote his name directly in blood, pressing his handprint on it afterward.
"Sign it," Mu Rufeng tossed the contract over.
After Deputy Zhao received it, he checked it over, took out a pen from his pocket without saying anything more, signed his name, and also pressed his handprint on it.
Right after that, Deputy Zhao took out another contract from his person and handed both contracts back to Mu Rufeng.
Naturally, the contract Deputy Zhao took out was the shareholding contract of the Gluttonous Cruise.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng transferred two hundred million into Deputy Zhao's bank account, and he himself was deducted only one hundred and eighty million.
A discount on a transfer? However, Mu Rufeng soon thought of something.
There couldn't be such an obvious bug for him; presumably, only this type of transaction setting could trigger a ten percent discount, a simple transfer cheat would certainly not activate a ten percent discount cheat.
Just like when he had transferred five hundred million to Lilith before, it did not trigger the ten percent discount coupon.
Regaining his composure, Mu Rufeng then turned his gaze to the shareholding contract, only to see Deputy Zhao's name slowly disappearing from view.Chapter 293: Chapter 204 Became a Shareholder of Gluttonous Cruise [Double Votes for Monthly Pass!]_3
Chapter 293: Chapter 204 Became a Shareholder of Gluttonous Cruise [Double Votes for Monthly Pass!]_3
Mu Rufeng immediately bit his already healed finger and wrote his name on the contract, then pressed his thumbprint.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng had become a stockholder of the Gluttonous Cruise.
He also formed a thin, almost imperceptible connection with the Gluttonous Cruise.
Whenever he wished, he could call upon the power of the Gluttonous Cruise to augment himself.
Looking at Deputy Zhao, although he no longer held the status of a shareholder, he still possessed the strength of the Level 8 Ghost King, with the power of the Gluttonous Cruise persisting within him.
Though Deputy Zhao had lost his shareholder status, he remained the Deputy Captain of the Gluttonous Cruise.
"Mr. Mu, I'll be taking my leave now. I'll find an island where I can disembark before the next stop."
"The Captain will be waiting at the next stop, and I certainly don't wish to run into him," said Deputy Zhao.
"Oh? Is he already at the next stop?" Mu Rufeng showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Mu. You had better be careful as well. Once I've disembarked, I'll repay the money I owe him, and by then he'll know something has happened. I think the Captain will definitely try to kill you to get your shares," Deputy Zhao cautioned.

"I understand. Go on with your business," Mu Rufeng waved at Deputy Zhao.
Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng retracted the thunder that had surrounded him back into his body.
"Then I'll leave you to your rest, Mr. Mu."
Watching Deputy Zhao leave, Mu Rufeng turned his attention to the contract.
Not having access to the Item Slot indeed made things quite troublesome.
As long as it was within the Item Slot, there would be no worries about the contract being taken.
Subsequently, Mu Rufeng silently contemplated buying shares.
[Respected Black Gold Card user, your request has been accepted. The purchase of shares only requires the Captain's approval.]
[As Captain Zhu Shixuan is currently not on this cruise, do you wish to inquire with the third largest shareholder, Mu Rufeng?]
"Agree," Mu Rufeng said with some surprise, and then he gave his consent.
Before long, an inexplicable force descended, and a new contract appeared on the coffee table.
Mu Rufeng picked it up and discovered that it indeed was a stock transfer contract.
And the price was merely eighty million.
Although it had dropped to a Level 8 vehicle, the stock price had only fallen by about twenty percent.
Mu Rufeng immediately signed the contract, pressed his thumbprint, and then swiped away seventy-two million through a card slot that had appeared next to him.
As soon as the soul banknotes were swiped away, the text on the share contract he had previously obtained from Deputy Zhao slowly disappeared.
Then it turned into a blank Rule Contract.
At the same time, a piece of data within the share contract that Mu Rufeng had just signed also changed.
One percent ownership turned into two percent ownership.
Unexpectedly, the Rule Contract automatically amalgamated the two Rule share contracts.
Mu Rufeng immediately placed the contract behind him, where it was covered by the Bandage.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the sea.
On the sea, there were still many corpses of Abnormal creatures.
However, to Mu Rufeng's disappointment, a strong wind had risen at some unknown time, and the dark clouds in the sky had already been blown away.
Thus, a thunderstorm was no longer possible.
"Woo woo woo~~~!"
At that moment, the Gluttonous Cruise let out an ethereal whistle.
Immediately afterward, the Gluttonous Cruise began to move.frёeωebɳovel.com
Previously, it was drifting with the current, but now, it had regained the ability to navigate.
"The restoration was really quick," Mu Rufeng said with a chuckle, shaking his head.
"Thud, thud, thud!" Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Mu Rufeng, have you finished your discussion?" Sun Lujia's voice came from outside the door.
Mu Rufeng walked up to the door, opened it with his hand.
Outside, stood Yang Zhaodi, Sun Lujia, and a few others.
"Brother Mu, what exactly is happening now? Has Deputy Zhao left? Is the discussion over?" Yang Zhaodi peered into the room and asked.
"Yes, it's all settled, there's nothing to worry about. The Gluttonous Cruise has set sail again," Mu Rufeng replied.
"That's it? All resolved?" Sun Lujia's face was full of question marks.
"Brother Mu, are we okay too?" Xiao Xiao asked worriedly.
"Yes, everything is fine. You can go on with what you were doing. Don't gather here; I've only slept a little today and need to get some more rest. Don't disturb me if it's not important."
Mu Rufeng finished speaking and then closed the door.
Yang Zhaodi and Sun Lujia looked at each other, confused, and returned to their rooms.
The three maids, including Xiao Xiao, stood waiting at the door.
…
Time flew, and it was soon twelve o'clock at noon.
"Thud, thud, thud!" Mu Rufeng, who was in a drowsy state, was woken up by the noise.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~!" At the same time, Mu Rufeng's stomach also began to growl.
"Mr. Mu, it's lunchtime. You didn't come this morning, and we must now go to the dining hall," Xiao Xiao's voice came from outside the door.
One had to go to the dining hall for meals at the prescribed times, and as a guest in the super VIP suite, Mu Rufeng could skip once.
But since he had already missed the morning, naturally he had to go for both lunch and dinner.
However, as a Black Gold Card user, Mu Rufeng could completely waive the rule of going to the dining hall.
But still, Mu Rufeng decided to visit the dining hall; he wanted to see what the dining hall was like, and perhaps he could even encounter those pig-headed Abnormalities.
"Alright, I'll get ready," Mu Rufeng responded and made his way to the bathroom.
Five minutes later, Mu Rufeng, dressed in a trench coat, opened the door of his room.
"Are you very hungry?" Mu Rufeng noticed Xiao Xiao's hands and legs shaking, clearly a sign of hunger-induced weakness.
"Yes… yes, Mr. Mu, I'm so hungry," nodded Xiao Xiao.
"Where are the other two? Have they gone down to the dining hall already?" Mu Rufeng did not see the other two maids.
"Yes, Miss Sun and Miss Yang just went down. They were going to wait for you, but my two companions were so hungry they nearly fainted, so…," Xiao Xiao said.
"Okay, let's go then. I also want to experience the Gluttonous Cruise's all-important dining hall," Mu Rufeng said with a faint smile.Chapter 294: Chapter 205 Meat Eating, I Want to Eat Meat! [Double, Request for Monthly Tickets!]
Chapter 294: Chapter 205 Meat Eating, I Want to Eat Meat! [Double, Request for Monthly Tickets!]
Mu Rufeng took the elevator to the first floor.
Under Xiao Xiao's guidance, Mu Rufeng arrived in front of the dining hall.
Though called a dining hall, it was actually a huge exhibition hall.
In the center of the exhibition hall, there was a massive table covered with heaps of meat.
There was raw meat, cooked meat, minced meat—essentially, it was all meat.
The floor was covered with blood, and a strong, foul smell hit them in the face.
"Mr. Mu, this is the Level 1 dining hall, and there are dining halls from Level 2 to Level 8 upstairs. Where would you like to go?" Xiao Xiao suppressed her hunger and asked.
The Gluttonous Cruise wasn't just one area, but was divided into multiple zones.
The dining hall on the first floor was the Level 1 dining hall, and the one on the second floor was the Level 2 dining hall, and so on.
There used to be a Level 9 dining hall, but unfortunately, since the level of the Gluttonous Cruise dropped to Level 8, the Level 9 dining hall was sealed off.

Only by upgrading to Level 9 could the Level 9 dining hall be reopened.
"Is there anything particular about this dining hall?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"The higher the level of the dining hall, the better the food and its effects, but of course, it also becomes more expensive," Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said.
Mu Rufeng nodded upon hearing this and then looked at those strange beings gobbling up food.
There were many Level 1 Stranges on the ship, and the whole table was almost full.
"With so many Stranges, where do they all come from?" Mu Rufeng was a bit puzzled.
"They are all the lowest level of Stranges. They continue to eat and eat to become stronger. Those who endure it break through to Level 2 and move up to eat on the second floor."
"If they can't endure it, they will turn into meat and end up on the table," Deputy Zhao's voice suddenly appeared behind Mu Rufeng.
"Deputy Zhao, do you mean they can keep getting stronger as long as they can endure it?" Mu Rufeng asked in surprise.
"Of course, that's the most powerful part of the Gluttonous Cruise. It is said that if one can eat their way up to the ninth floor without losing their mind, then they would become a Level 9 Ghost Emperor and ultimately become the true master of the Gluttonous Cruise," Deputy Zhao explained.
"Uh… so if I go straight to the ninth floor to eat, wouldn't I directly become a Ghost Emperor?" Mu Rufeng said.
"Mr. Mu, if you go directly to the higher floors, then you would only be able to eat the food cooked by the chef."
"Our Captain also started as the lowest-level Strange and even finding it extremely difficult to reach Level 2."
"But, he boarded the Gluttonous Cruise, started from the first floor, and ate his way up to the eighth floor, becoming a Level 8 Ghost King, and also won the favor of the Gluttonous Cruise, making him the Captain," Deputy Zhao slowly said.
"Wow! So, the Captain is that powerful? Did he also turn into a pig-headed Strange?"
Mu Rufeng had seen Zhu Shixuan's appearance; he looked completely human, nothing like a pig-headed Strange.
"The Captain did turn into a pig-headed Strange, but when he became the Captain, he turned back into a human."
"Also, me too, if I disembark, I would probably also turn into a pig-headed Strange," Deputy Zhao said.
"Uh… that's a shame," Mu Rufeng looked up and down at Deputy Zhao.
Though not very handsome, he certainly looked a lot better than a fat-eared pig-headed Strange.
"Hehe, human or pig-body, it doesn't really matter, after all, strength is what really counts," Deputy Zhao said with a laugh.
"That's also true. By the way, have you figured out where you want to go?" Mu Rufeng asked again.
"Not yet," Deputy Zhao shook his head.
The Mysterious World was also very large, even many times larger than the real world.
"Do you have paper and pen?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Yes," Deputy Zhao pulled out a small notebook and a fountain pen from his pocket.
Mu Rufeng took the notebook and fountain pen.
[Deputy Captain's Fountain Pen]: This is the fountain pen of a Deputy Captain from a ship that has already sunk.
Effect: Rule Type Item, the ink inside never runs out.
[Deputy Captain's Sticky Note]: This is the sticky note of a Deputy Captain from a ship that has already sunk.
Effect: Rule Type Item, the sticky notes never run out.
"Huh, I didn't expect both to be Rule Type Items," Mu Rufeng said in surprise.
"Although they're Rule Items, they aren't much of a use; I just use them for writing," Deputy Zhao shook his head and said.

Mu Rufeng smiled, then wrote down Lilith's name and number on the sticky note.
"If you have no place to go, I can recommend you a job. This is my subordinate's number; you can call her, and I'll mention it to her," Mu Rufeng handed back the sticky note and fountain pen to Deputy Zhao.
"This… Thank you, I'll consider it," Deputy Zhao hesitated for a moment, then thanked him.
"Brother Mu…" Suddenly, Xiao Xiao weakly called out from the side.
Mu Rufeng turned his head and saw Xiao Xiao's face was extremely pale, and she kept swallowing saliva.
Loud grumbling sounds came from her stomach.
The next second, Xiao Xiao collapsed directly on the ground, too weak to walk.
"Mr. Mu, she needs to eat immediately. Though she won't die of hunger, she might lose her mind and then go on to devour the raw meat."
"Once she eats the raw meat, it would be very difficult for her to regain consciousness again. That cooked meat over there can be eaten; its effect won't be as strong," Deputy Zhao said.
"Okay," Mu Rufeng nodded, then picked up Xiao Xiao and walked towards the stairs on one side.
Level 1 dining hall? Naturally, he would not eat here.
On the first floor, he hardly saw any Contractors or players.
