The first day of work in the restaurant has ended.
An Qian received her basic salary of 100 ghost coins from Manager Bai Fatty.
After that, the fat manager walked around the kitchen to check her work.
When he found out that she had cleaned up all the old blood stains in the kitchen, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, but in the end he had to give her the full salary.
"With 100 ghost coins a day, it takes 10 days to save 1,000 ghost coins to pass the customs. But the manager still seizes the opportunity to deduct wages. He keeps deducting money for who knows how many days it will take before he can go out."
"In this case, eating becomes a problem... The food I brought myself is definitely not enough. Do I really want to eat the staff meals provided by the restaurant?"
Anxi recalled that after get off work today, she saw the pot of green paste on the staff table. She didn’t know what ingredients were added and it was still stringy when she took a spoonful of it.
Some players who did not bring food into the dungeon had to eat the green paste, but looking at their disgusted expressions, it was clear that the taste of the bowl of paste was definitely not acceptable to the human palate.
Anxi opened the backpack she brought and prepared to check the food she had put in the bag before entering the instance.
She is currently in a double room in the staff dormitory.
The dormitory room was stuffy and stuffy, with gray walls on all sides and yellow stains on the sheets, which had not been changed for who knows how long.
"Bread, canned food, mineral water... can last about five days..."
Anxi estimated how many days the food in her bag could last at most, and the number of days she got was shorter than she expected.
Correction fluid cannot change the number of individuals, because one is one and one cannot make ten.
"How about changing it to... endless bread?" Anxi pondered.
"Hello."
The iron door of the dormitory was pushed open at this time.
Liu Xiaoxiao poked her head out of the door. She blinked and glanced inside the room. When she discovered that Anxi was in the room, her nervous expression suddenly turned into surprise.
"It turns out you and I share a room!"
Liu Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked in. She looked around the room and put her bag on the other bed.
The two exchanged a few words casually.
Liu Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you want to take a bath?"
She stood in the middle of the room, looked at the small bathroom installed in the room, and pulled off her clothes that smelled of oil smoke.
As a waiter, Liu Xiaoxiao had to go back and forth from the kitchen to get food. Her clothes and hair were stained with oil. She also sweated a lot after a busy day, and her clothes stuck to her body and felt uncomfortable.
"If you want to wash up, go ahead."
An Qian noticed Liu Xiaoxiao's discomfort and humbly asked Liu Xiaoxiao to go to the bathroom to take a shower first.
Under normal circumstances, Anxi would definitely be more tired and dirty as a cleaner.
But she has a modified "100% clean mop", and the work is easy for her, but the dirty uniform makes her feel a little psychologically uncomfortable.
"Thank you! I'll finish washing it soon!"
Liu Xiaoxiao rushed into the bathroom after hearing An Qian's words.
After a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom, and bursts of moist white steam leaked from the crack in the door.
There is no air conditioning or heating in the staff dormitories, and it is a cold winter in Fog City.
Therefore, the temperature in the house was not high, and it was even a bit freezing. Fortunately, there was hot water in the bathroom so they could take a warm bath to warm themselves up.
Anxi thought so.
"ah!!"
Suddenly Liu Xiaoxiao screamed from the bathroom.
She immediately rushed into the bathroom, opened the plastic shower curtain, and bumped into Liu Xiaoxiao who ran out from behind the shower curtain.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, the water suddenly became cold!"
Liu Xiaoxiao wrapped her body in a bath towel and pointed to the wrench on the side facing the cold water with a shiver.
Anxi took a few steps forward, turned the wrench back into the hot water and turned it back on.
The water ran for a while and gradually became hot.
An Qian tested the water temperature and found that it was normal. She turned sideways and made way for Liu Xiaoxiao to take a bath.
"Maybe there's just something wrong with the equipment here. You should rinse your hair first."
"That's right...after all, this place is so shabby."
Liu Xiaoxiao also felt that she was making a bit of a fuss. She got back behind the shower curtain and prepared to take a shower.
But the moment she closed the shower curtain, Anxi's peripheral vision saw a hand slowly stretching out from the wall.
"do not move!"
With quick eyesight and quick hands, An Qian took out the bone nail she carried with her and poked it.
"Ah! What is this?!"
Liu Xiaoxiao screamed when she saw the hand nailed to the wall by white bone nails, and ran out from behind the shower curtain in panic and hid behind An Qian.
The hand that was nailed to the wall struggled hard, and several fingers kept twisting and trying to get free.
But no matter how hard it struggled, it was still nailed to the wall by the bones.
After a while, probably realizing that he couldn't break free from the white bone nails, the hand on the wall finally calmed down and hung weakly to the side.
Then, the bathroom tile wall vibrated like water ripples, and a pale face emerged.
This face looked very young, probably only about sixteen or seventeen years old. His expression was very unhappy, with the corners of his mouth downwards, his eyes staring straight at Anxi and shouting: "Let me go!"
Anxi replied: "What will happen if I don't let go?"
The ability of the White Bone Nail can suppress ghosts, but if it encounters a powerful ghost, the ability of the White Bone Nail will be easily resolved.
But the ghost in the wall in front of him has been suppressed by the white bone nails and cannot move, which shows that its strength is very weak.
"..."
Sure enough, the ghost in the wall did not answer after Anxi asked.
If An Qian doesn't let him go, he will be trapped here by the bone nails.
"...What exactly do you want to do?"
After waiting for a long time, the wall ghost asked again unconvinced.
"I should ask you this." Anxi crossed her arms and said, "Did you turn the hot water into cold water?"
"So what?"
The wall ghost raised his head and replied with disdain: "People like you...Hey! What are you doing!"
Before he could finish his words, Anxi pressed the white bone nail down hard again.
The wall ghost suddenly grinned in pain and shouted: "Let me go! Let me go! Speak to me if you have anything to say!"
Anxi took her hand back and asked again: "Did you turn the hot water into cold water? Why did you do these things?"
"I did it." The wall ghost replied weakly, "It's just... I just want to scare you."
"Isn't it to trick us into using them as food?"
"What ingredients? I don't like eating your meat, it's sour and smelly..."
An Qian raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
She had this feeling before. Not all ghosts in the foggy city are cruel, bloodthirsty and hostile to humans. Xiaoman is an example, and so is the wall ghost in front of her.
They have their own personalities and are conscious and able to communicate, which is completely different from the ghosts who just eat people alive.
Are the ghosts inherently different in temperament, or is there some reason why they are like this?
"I've told the truth, can you pull out the nail and let me go?"
Seeing that Anxi didn't speak for a long time, the wall ghost spoke to remind her again.
"Okay, of course I can let you go for the sake of telling the truth, but before that..."
Anxi answered, turned around and walked outside the bathroom.
After a while, she held the blue-gray uniform she wore today in her hands. The stains on the uniform had become more stained due to today's work.
Anxi threw her uniform to the wall ghost and said, "Here, let's wash my clothes first."
