As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

Chapter 177: Three money-printing machines

At the headquarters of the Fierce Ghost Association, Alexander, with the help of seventy-nine ghost lords, plus the power of the Happy Clinic and Fierce Ghost Supermarket, demonstrated to the members of the Fierce Ghost Association the true essence of logistical support.

After all, there were just too many members in the Fierce Ghost Association, a staggering one million six hundred thousand, making it quite challenging to provide a ghost weapon for everyone.

Except for the Lord’s Mansion, no one in the gloomy underworld seemed to have such extensive supplies.

But by plundering seventy-nine instances, Alexander managed to secure a vast amount of resources.

Su Rong’s exclusive instance building was filled to the brim, and Annie’s clinic was even more exaggerated, with the yard so packed there wasn’t even room to walk.

Alexander had no intention of keeping these things for himself. To support the growth of the Fierce Ghost Association, he even threw in a million ghost coins.

Though it pained him somewhat, Alexander understood that there must be investment to gain returns!

The Fierce Ghost Association founded by Tony was actually under Alexander’s complete control, just like his own company; there was no difference.

If the Fierce Ghost Association could win this competition, they would become the official administrators of Fierce Ghost Street.

Coupled with the strong backing of the Ghost Apartments, Alexander would no longer have any reservations. Then, the time would truly come for him to make significant strides.

To support the development of the Fierce Ghost Association, Alexander contributed a vast amount of ghost objects and ghost coins. However, what he put forward were some lower-grade supplies.

The genuinely valuable materials, like numerous instance plugins, were still stored in Su Rong’s building.

He had already decided that after the Fierce Ghost Street Championship, he would hold the first auction event. At that time, a large number of plugins would be sold at low prices, surely attracting countless ghost lords.

Ghost motorcycles, ghost televisions, ghost computers, and even the ghost food created by Alexander – compared to the million ghost coins he had paid, these were but minor investments.

Of course, Alexander’s efforts were not without reward. As countless supplies were distributed, although it was not possible to provide for everyone, on average, every ten ghosts would receive one or two ghost objects.

For these ghosts who joined the Fierce Ghost Association, this was a tremendous benefit. The result was that Alexander’s fame spread rapidly among the new association members, and notifications of goodwill rewards kept triggering.

Alexander’s much-needed ghost energy value began to skyrocket!

"Goodwill reached 60 points, special effect of social talent triggered! Ghost energy +2 rewarded."

"Goodwill reached 60 points, special effect of social talent triggered! Ghost energy +1 rewarded."

...

"Thrilling World Notice: Your ghost energy value has reached 10000, promoted to Fierce Plus level selector, more instances are open to you!"

Alexander originally thought he would have to wait until the end of this task to reach this level, but he didn’t expect to achieve it so quickly through the increase in goodwill.

Triggering 60 points of goodwill wasn’t easy, as it required fulfilling dreams or demands, not just moving others.

But the base number of the Fierce Ghost Association’s members was just too large, a whole one million six hundred thousand ghosts, so there were always a few with simpler demands, without such deep obsessions.

Upon reaching ten thousand ghost energy points, and ascending to the Fierce Plus level, the rewards for affection were suddenly halved. The rapid surge in ghost energy points slowed down dramatically.

After a brief consideration, Alexander understood. Clearly, as his strength grew, ordinary ghosts found it harder to trigger the rewards for affection.

Even Fierce-level ghosts had their rewards instantly reduced by 60%, each time only boosting Alexander’s ghost energy points by one or two.

Of course, with such a huge base, Alexander’s total ghost energy points still reached over thirteen thousand. However, such a rapid increase was clearly non-replicable.

Just as Alexander thought that this was all he would gain, three consecutive notifications rang in his ear:

"Congratulations on reaching the peak of 100 affection points, social talent special effect triggered! Receive O’Neil’s ultimate friendly reward: the process of making Black Demon Ghost Cigarettes and tobacco seeds!"

"Congratulations on reaching the peak of 100 affection points, social talent special effect triggered! Receive Potter’s ultimate friendly reward: beer brewing technique!"

"Congratulations on reaching the peak of 100 affection points, social talent special effect triggered! Receive John’s ultimate friendly reward: blueprint for making Ghost Cola!"

These three voices made Alexander’s spirit surge.

Having ghosts with full affection among the Fierce Ghost Association’s one hundred and sixty thousand members was a very normal occurrence, even though Alexander had never heard the names O’Neil, Potter, and John before.

The key was that the Fierce Ghost Association now had one hundred and sixty thousand ghost members, and their demands were varied and bizarre. Alexander’s distribution of a large amount of materials at once and accidentally fulfilling the obsessions of three ghosts, reaching the ultimate reward of affection, was already very normal.

Even so, Alexander felt a bit shortchanged. After all, there were one hundred and sixty thousand ghosts! Having a few that were completely touched, and their affection levels maxed out, wouldn’t be strange, right?

Of course, once Alexander noticed what the rewards were, he instantly cast aside the idea of being shortchanged.

Shortchanged? It was given too much!

The process and seeds for making Black Demon Ghost Cigarettes, along with the beer brewing technique.

Although Ghost Cola’s value was high, compared to cigarettes and beer, it was nothing.

Tobacco and alcohol! In the Thrilling World, was there any business more lucrative than this? (I originally wanted to write about drugs, but then thought better of it.)

These rewards were too valuable, like three super money-printing machines!

Of course, starting these three money-printing machines wouldn’t be easy. After all, these were three super money-gathering industries, and it would be impossible to operate them normally without sufficient forces and manpower.

Looking down at the members of the Fierce Ghost Association, who, having collected the supplies, were quickly and orderly dispersing as arranged, Alexander silently resolved, "In the Fierce Ghost Street battle, we must win this time!"

Meanwhile, with an extremely nervous heart, one hundred thousand chosen ones were successively transported into the large-scale Fierce Ghost Street battle instance. They all watched their surroundings warily.

In their view, what awaited them were terrifying evil ghosts, with gruesome faces, perhaps even being used as sacrifices to boost morale before the battle.

However, the scenes within the instance soon left these determined chosen ones completely dumbfounded.
