"Yeah, it feels like Undead Preferred is about to collapse. Sigh, I came here from Crimson Preferred; had I known, I wouldn't have switched."
The three abnormal drivers sighed as they spoke.
"Enough already, look where you are, daring to say anything. Hurry up and get to work, finish early so you can clock out early." Zhou Dalong scolded.
The three didn't say much and immediately left to work.
"You two, come with me." After speaking, Zhou Dalong turned and walked towards the warehouse.
Mu Rufeng and Luo Dahai exchanged glances and quickly followed.
"Team leader, where are we headed?" As Mu Rufeng spoke, he handed a hundred yuan banknote to Zhou Dalong.
Zhou Dalong didn't want to answer initially, but when he saw the soul banknote Mu Rufeng handed him, his eyes lit up.
"This kid is really rich, looks like I need to milk him some more." Zhou Dalong decided internally.
"Today our team doesn't have much work, those three can handle it. You two are free, so I'm assigning you to the Returns Department to handle some trash," Zhou Dalong explained.
"Trash handling in the Returns Department?" Mu Rufeng recalled the scenario from the real world's New Prosper Preferred.
He had seen the amount of trash the Returns Department produced daily.
If it were returns like domestic goods or food and beverages, it would be acceptable.
But if it involved fruits, vegetables, and frozen foods, it meant trash enough to fill several garbage trucks a day, enough to pile up at the dump.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of a warehouse.
Mu Rufeng could smell a mix of sour, putrid, decaying scents in the air.
He had to close off his sense of smell to feel better.
"Your job is simple. See those two garbage trolleys? Fill them with trash and then pull them to the incinerator ahead and dump it there," Zhou Dalong instructed.
It was indeed simple, just awfully smelly.
"Easy, right? But, there's something you need to keep in mind," Zhou Dalong added.
"What should we watch out for?" Luo Dahai quickly asked.
However, Zhou Dalong didn't answer, instead, he rubbed his thumb and index finger together, the intent clear.
"Please give us a hint, team leader." Mu Rufeng took out a hundred yuan soul banknote and handed it to Zhou Dalong.
Zhou Dalong smiled and then said, "There are often rats in the garbage searching for food. Always be alert, make sure not to get bitten or scratched by them."
"They carry toxins in their bodies; though not fatal, they can make you weak, and you'll hardly be able to wield your Ghost Power."
"Also, if you encounter old men or women with sacks, whatever they're doing, don't interfere as long as they don't disturb your work."
"If they stop your garbage trolley, they'll leave after turning over the trash."
Zhou Dalong had a lot to say, and all of it crucial.
A hundred yuan in soul banknotes, and Zhou Dalong disclosed several tips—undeniably, it was money well spent.
Luo Dahai's gaze flickered slightly.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of using soul banknotes to make things smoother, but soul banknotes were too valuable and indispensable, not just for everyday needs and buying items.
Even the Abnormality in his body cost money to maintain.
Otherwise, did you think signing a Contract meant bringing back an Abnormality that required nothing? That would be wishful thinking.
After Zhou Dalong finished explaining, he left the area.
Mu Rufeng and Luo Dahai then started getting busy.
It was undeniable; that garbage trolley was indeed huge.
Almost the size of a van.
Like a van-sized box, with an open top and four wheels at the bottom, allowing it to be pushed around.
Mu Rufeng pushed the trolley to the dump, where the stench was so strong it made his face hurt.
There were loads of maggots and some unspecified bugs wriggling about, including some rats as big as arms.
Good gracious, these rats might just be Level 1 Abnormalities.
Mu Rufeng immediately manifested two giant hands and quickly scooped a large quantity of trash directly into the trolley.
The rats, startled, immediately burrowed deeper into the trash.
Some even bared their teeth and snarled at Mu Rufeng.
Soon, the trolley was filled with trash, and Mu Rufeng dragged it towards the incinerator.
The day passed without incident.
Mu Rufeng completed his day's work and returned to his dormitory.
Luo Dahai, despite being surrounded by ghost qi, inevitably reeked of the stench.
But Mu Rufeng was different; his body still emitted a faint woody fragrance, so the smell of trash didn't cling to him at all.
One could say the woody fragrance directly expelled the bad odor.
Mu Rufeng dispersed the Ghost Power from his body, and instantly, the woody fragrance spread more.
Instantly, the dormitory's stench was masked by the woody fragrance.
"This is much better." Mu Rufeng sniffed the fresh air and nodded in satisfaction.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng thought of something and transferred one trillion soul banknotes to Lilith.
Three seconds later, Lilith's call came through.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng immediately used Ghost Power to seal the surroundings and then answered the call.
"Master, was that one trillion from you?" Lilith cautiously inquired.
