I heard that I’ll be super fierce after my death - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: The Extremely Common and Contrived Plot
“You came here simply to tease me?”
Xiao Qin cast an annoyed glance at him. “If you have nothing important, I’m going to have a chicken dinner (PUBG) at the net cafe.”
“Chicken (ji) dinner?” Lin Wu laughed. “Why must you go to a net cafe to eat chicken dinner? There’s no one at my house, you can eat chicken (ji – jiji is slang for p*nis) at my house too.”
After speaking, he felt a little awkward. He coughed, trying to conceal his awkwardness as he added, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m talking about PUBG.”
“…I didn’t misunderstand. Thanks.” Xiao Qin’s lips twitched. “Goodbye.”
“Ehhh, wait!”
Lin Wu hurriedly called out. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to grab her shoulder. He had forgotten that she was a ghost, an existence that didn’t have a material body.
However, out of his expectations, he actually managed to grab hold of Xiao Qin’s shoulder. It was like she had a solid body.
“Eh…?”
Lin Wu involuntarily started. He was puzzled. “Are you not a ghost? Why do you have a material body?”
Xiao Qin’s face blushed as she snorted. “Who said that I have one?”
“Oh…so you intentionally allowed me to grab you?” Lin Wu’s gaze was strange as he stared at Xiao Qin. He couldn’t tell, but this fellow was quite a tsundere*.
Ghosts were illusory existences. If they wanted to influence reality, they had to have the thought of doing so.
If Xiao Qin wasn’t willing to be grabbed by him, he naturally wouldn’t be able to touch her.
“Of course…” Xiao Qin mumbled in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
“Eh?”
Lin Wu’s eyes brightened. “As long as you are willing and I can touch you, in that case…”
A bold assumption involuntarily surfaced in his heart.
“…” Xiao Qin could tell what he was thinking about with just a single glance. Her face involuntarily turned black. “Stop dreaming. If you dare to force me, do you believe that I’ll turn into a man half-way through the act?”
“…”
Lin Wu instantly cowered. He laughed dryly. “Let’s not talk about this. We will speak about serious business. I wish to invite you to help me converse with a bunch of ghosts.”
Xiao Qin glanced at him and asked, “What about my reward?”
“Yes, there’s one. I can pay you $20,000.” Lin Wu heroically stretched out two fingers as he spoke.
“Oh, sure.” Xiao Qin nodded. She was like a greedy lion opening its maw. “In that case, $200,000 as the commission in addition to half of the reward.”
“…”
Lin Wu was speechless. He couldn’t help but say, “$200,000 and half of the reward? How can you raise the price so much?”
“Is the amount I want high?”
“Isn’t it high?”
“Is it high?”
“Isn’t it high?”
The two of them wasted saliva as they repeated themselves. Xiao Qin then stated, “Alright then, just half of the reward will do. It cannot be any lesser. When others looked for help, I usually take everything.”
“How about 30%?” Lin Wu negotiated.
“30%?” Xiao Qin smiled, she waved her hand. “Forget it then. There’s no need to look for me, you can go and look for some other little friends instead.”
“Ai, ai, ai…wait.”
Lin Wu speechlessly glanced at her. He could only helplessly add, “Alright, 50-50 then.”
“How much money is it in total?” Xiao Qin curiously asked.
“If things go smoothly, it should be about $20 million.” Lin Wu couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
“That’s not little at all.” Xiao Qin marveled. “What must I do exactly?”
“The story goes like this, today I met a woman in the hospital. Her grandfather…”
Lin Wu then told Xiao Qin about his transaction with Shi Qiuhong.
After Xiao Qin heard it, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Eh, I think you were taken for a ride by that young woman. She need not put in any capital in this at all. What if there are no antiques? What to do then? Could you even sue her in a court of law for her false claims?”
“…”
Lin Wu was astonished. He coughed. “That won’t happen, you have to believe in my instinct.”
“Alright then.” Xiao Qin casually nodded. “In any case, I’m free as well. I shall accompany you. Also, I feel a little curious about why those ghosts at the morgue refused to let her grandfather out?”
“I also feel that’s a little strange.”
Lin Wu puzzled. “After someone dies, they have to have a strong enough obsession before they can turn into a ghost. Although the morgue is a place where dead bodies gather, there shouldn’t be so many ghosts, right?”
“We will know after we go.” Xiao Qin shrugged. “In any case, after you get the $20 million, remember to give me $10 million.”
“You little ghost, you actually have a bank account?”
Lin Wu was somewhat speechless. He thought about it and added, “However, I still have one more condition.”
“What?”
“Change to Lu Shaoyan and let me…”
Even before Lin Wu finished speaking, Xiao Qin directly showed him a middle finger. She giggled. “So many people have died, why don’t you hurry up and die too? I feel frustrated every time I see you, you only know how to disgust me. You might as well become a super fierce ghost.”
“…”
“Damn ghost, do you believe that my obsession after my death will be to make you change into Lu Shaoyan and after that…”
“Cough, cough.”
Lin Wu coughed twice and stopped fantasizing. He spoke with a straight face, “I only want you to become Lu Shaoyan and act as my girlfriend.”
“Oh, why?” Xiao Qin was puzzled.
“Ah, it’s a long story.”
Lin Wu sighed. “This Shi Qiuhong used the honey trap on me. I told her, ‘my wife is more beautiful than you and you are also not Lu Shaoyan, what’s the point of using the honey trap on me?’ She then began to mock me, not believing that I have a wife. She even said that many men in the country want Lu Shaoyan as their wife, and I’m one of them who treats her as an imaginary wife. Don’t you feel that her words were too over the top?”
Xiao Qin cocked her head and listened. She then shook her head. “Nope.”
“Don’t you feel that since I encountered such a plot, I should bring you out and ruthlessly act cool to smack her face?” Lin Wu probingly asked.
“Your wife is a great superstar? This extremely common and contrived plot… I’m going to die just from hearing it.” Xiao Qin rolled her eyes.
Lin Wu’s expression turned cold. “Will you help or not?”
“Will you help or not?”
Xiao Qin tsked. “Stop dreaming, I don’t wish to help you act cool, let alone in such a contrived plot. It’s impossible for me to…”
“I’ll share 60% of the reward with you…”
“Deal.”
“…”
At this moment, the lift ‘ding-ed’ and stopped on the first floor.
Lin Wu glanced at the time and spoke, “We agreed to meet tonight. Now, the time is almost there, so let’s head there earlier. After we reach, I will give Shi Qiuhong a call.”
“So, Lu Shaoyan?”
Xiao Qin spun on the spot and transformed from the appearance of a 16-17 years old young girl into a bright-eyed lady with a beautiful smile and long wavy hair. She was elegant and stylish, and her clothes even changed to a batwing-style top and tight-fitting jeans.
It was none other than the extremely famous superstar that reigned supreme in the singing business, Lu Shaoyan.
“Wow.”
Lin Wu’s eyes instantly brightened. He then silently felt a little angry at himself. In the future, he had so many ghost wives, so why didn’t he force Xiao Qin into one?
“Do you know the seventy-two transformations? How can you even transform into her on the spot?” Lin Wu involuntarily sighed in praise.
“It is an illusory effect created by my obsession.” Xiao Qin shrugged. “At most, it can only hoodwink your senses, but in reality, I don’t exist at all.”
“Can others see you? You are not a superstar, so don’t act too ostentatiously.” Lin Wu instructed.
“Don’t need to worry.” Xiao Qin casually spoke, “Unless that person has the yin-yang eyes, only ghosts would be able to see me. Unless of course, I want to let the person see me.”
“That’s good.” Lin Wu nodded. He then asked curiously, “Can the other ghosts see your true appearance?”
“Naturally not.” Xiao Qin glanced at him.
Lin Wu sighed in disappointment. “I initially wanted Jianing to look at your true face.”
“Stop dreaming. However, I also wish to be acquainted with Pei Jianing. Among your wives, she is one of the few that I’ve never met before,” Xiao Qin spoke with interest.
“Oh, since you spoke about this, I wish to ask you something.”
Lin Wu suddenly thought of something. He took out a silver ring from his pocket and spoke with bewilderment, “The matchmaker gave my wives these silver rings. But what would happen to my wives if these rings were removed?”

“Mn?” Xiao Qin stared at the ring in his palm, and her charming face couldn’t help but express a look of shock.
