"Senior Brother, is it difficult to do this?" Yun Jin saw that Yue Zhao's expression was very strange and couldn't help asking.
Yue Zhao shook his head: "It's not really difficult…"
It just felt like he's digging a pit for Gu Jinghong.
"Then let's do it like this." Yun Jin looked at Gu Jinghong: "This is the task I'm assigning to you. From now on, you'll stay in this haunted house and play as a ghost. It's best if you can scare people. If you can scare everyone into crying, that would be the best."
This Gu Jinghong was originally a pervert, giving him this job was truly using talent where it belonged.
Gu Jinghong nodded and said, "Master, if you want the haunted house to be even more frightening, you can add more elements. Use various formations to create a terrifying aura, use talismans to create effects, and combined with the Recording Stones and Sound Stones, the fear factor can be raised to another level."
"Add formations and talismans?" Yue Zhao was also very interested, "Explain in detail."
He had played all five themes. After Yue Zhao asked, he pointed out certain places and proposed methods to use formations and talismans to enhance the terrifying effect.
Yue Zhao listened while nodding repeatedly. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, "A talent like Junior Brother Gu, only acting as an NPC would be too wasteful! How about this, from now on I will design the haunted house script, and you'll be the one to execute it! When it starts making money, I'll give you dividends!"
Gu Jinghong was a little confused, "NPC?"
Yun Jin blinked and also pretended to look confused.
Yue Zhao lightly coughed to explain, "NPC refers to the ghosts and characters inside the script. This is not the key point, don't pay too much attention to it. In short, you'll work with me from now on, Junior Brother Gu. I have a premonition that you are definitely a genius in creating terror! Whether our haunted house can frighten the world of cultivation depends on you!"
Gu Jinghong: "..."
Even though he heard the word "genius," he didn't feel like it was a compliment.
Gu Jinghong kept a straight face and said calmly, "I only listen to Master's orders."
Yue Zhao looked at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin smiled, "This matter can be discussed between the two of you, I won't interfere."
"See, your Master agrees." Yue Zhao immediately said. "From now on, you're my person."
Just in time, he was so short-handed he's going crazy.
His current manpower was only enough to play around in this one market. If he wanted to grow bigger and stronger, he needed more people.
Ordinary workers were easy to find, but talents like Gu Jinghong were rare.
Gu Jinghong thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Since Master agrees, then I can join in. However, the dividends don't need to be given to me, just give them to Master."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Yue Zhao instantly looked toward Yun Jin.
He didn't see Little Junior Sister do anything.
Yet look how obedient Gu Jinghong was trained into.
Ordinary servants spent all their effort thinking of how to break their contract.
Seeing Gu Jinghong like this, Yue Zhao could swear that even if he offered to help break the contract, he probably wouldn't agree.
Yue Zhao laughed and said, "Those dividends, you keep them yourself. All the industries here in the market belong to your Master. In fact, I am working for her."
Oh?
It's actually Master's industry!
Gu Jinghong immediately said, "Since that's the case, I have a few more ideas that can be added into the haunted house."
Yue Zhao: "???"
What do you mean!
If it wasn't Yun Jin's industry, then you're planning on hiding your abilities, isn't that right?!
Yun Jin didn't care about the two of them. She waved her hand, "I don't understand business. Eldest Senior Brother, I'll leave Jinghong to you."
"Don't worry." Yue Zhao grinned. "The more talents like him, the better."
Yue Zhao wanted to continue discussing the details, but Gu Jinghong said, "Let's not talk about this today. Master still has tasks to give me."
"Fine." Yue Zhao was a bit reluctant.
He rarely found such a talent in horror.
With Gu Jinghong around, this future business could keep expanding!
Many cultivators yearned for those secret realms filled with a sense of adventure.
But real secret realms were full of danger, and they didn't dare to go.
When he had enough funds, he wouldn't have to play it small anymore, he would directly create a real secret realm!
Inside the secret realm, there would be horror, treasure, adventure, and exciting storyline.
Wouldn't that make the cultivators addicted?
Of course, creating such a secret realm was very difficult. He would need the best array masters and talisman masters to craft a realistic world.
His next goal was to find top experts in these two fields.
Yue Zhao was full of enthusiasm.
While Yue Zhao continued being busy in the market, Yun Jin brought Gu Jinghong back first.
Yun Jin sat down, and Gu Jinghong immediately poured tea, then respectfully stood to the side.
Yun Jin took a sip, "How did you know I still had tasks for you?"
Gu Jinghong respectfully replied, "Just a small intuition of your servant."
Yun Jin looked at him, took the jade slip he previously gave her, and handed it back, "Take a look."
Gu Jinghong respectfully accepted it.
He probed it again, and shock immediately flashed in his eyes.
The formations inside were all… all improved.
Perfect level.
Perfect level.
Every single one of them was a perfect level formation!
Gu Jinghong quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, slightly frightened as he looked at Yun Jin, "Master, such precious things, this servant dare not look at it."
"What's precious about it?" Yun Jin said casually, "These were just the formations you gave me. I spent some time improving them. You have some talent in formations, so study the formations inside the jade slip well. In the future, I will obtain more formations and add them. Gu Jinghong, my expectations for you are not merely as a mediocre servant. I want you to become the most top-tier formation master! The stronger you are, the more you can help me. In the future, the haunted house business you and Senior Brother will run, will also need a powerful formation master in charge. So, not only must you learn, you must learn well. Do you understand?"
Yun Jin said it lightly.
Gu Jinghong's eyes slowly brightened.
He never expected that Master would have such high expectations for him!
Did Master ever tell Ye Cheng she expected him to become the top master botanist?
Never!
These words, Master said only to him.
What was this?
This was a bond!
Gu Jinghong immediately gripped the jade slip tightly, "Master, your servant will definitely do his utmost!"
Yun Jin nodded in satisfaction and continued, "But your talent in formations, although decent, is still lacking. I refined a batch of pills to improve your comprehension in formations. Every seven days at the Chen hour, take one. Remember, not earlier, not later. The moment the Chen hour arrives, you must immediately take it."
Yun Jin took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Gu Jinghong.
These pills, of course, didn't actually improve formation comprehension. Yun Jin casually refined them, and used the system to add a layer of protection to prevent others from seeing their components.
The real improvement naturally came from simplification attempts.
Yun Jin planned to use one simplification attempt every seven days on Gu Jinghong to strengthen his formation comprehension.
But as always, good deeds must be known. This pill bottle was simply the cover.
