Realm of the Night God

Chapter 562: Thoughts Determine Actions

Tang Shi had set up a storage room in the secret base, specifically for collecting various items obtained by the group during their external missions. Tang Shi categorized the items according to their types, placing them all in the storage room, awaiting Yang Haoran's inspection.

The storage room didn't contain many items, only a few, which seemed sparse compared to the vast space. However, Tang Shi didn't feel embarrassed, knowing that as the collection grew, the room would eventually be filled to the brim.

Following Yang Haoran's instructions, Tang Shi distributed a soul pill based on the group's performance over the past few months. The various items they had collected were also taken into account.

A few days later, Yang Haoran returned to the secret base, which he had named "Ghost Cave" due to its unique purpose of nurturing ghosts.

Inside the Ghost Cave's storage room, Tang Shi stood respectfully aside as Yang Haoran examined the items Tang Shi had organized. Although there were only a few items, they were diverse, including books, mystical artifacts, and even demonic weapons.

Yang Haoran was particularly interested in three ancient books, which recorded spiritual anomalies, ancient legends from various regions, and rare occupations in the New Genesis World. These books could enrich his knowledge.

Since the storage room was initially sparse, Yang Haoran didn't plan to store all the items in his independent space. Except for the three ancient books, he would leave the rest in the storage room, retrieving them when needed.

Over the past few months, the ghosts under Yang Haoran's command had only collected these few items. Instead of being disappointed, Yang Haoran felt relieved, as it proved that his plan to maximize the value of New Genesis Coins was feasible.

Tang Shi and the two other malevolent spirits had joined later, and their time working for Yang Haoran was still short. The few items they had brought back were the earliest discoveries of the original four-person team.

Although the items were few, they had required significant effort from the four-person team. These items couldn't be bought with money alone; they also required a certain amount of luck. Even though their value was limited, they couldn't be purchased without luck.Overall, Yang Haoran was satisfied with the four-person team's performance, whether it was the information they provided or the items they had brought back.

As for Tang Shi and the other two malevolent spirits, Yang Haoran was aware of Tang Shi's abilities, but the others' abilities would be revealed through their future performances.

"When do you plan to send them out on missions again?" Yang Haoran asked Tang Shi while flipping through one of the ancient books.

"I plan to send them out in a month," Tang Shi replied.

"Oh? Why?" Yang Haoran asked, his facial expression unchanged, still flipping through the book.

"I plan to use a month to strengthen their thoughts, with a single goal: to remind them of their identity and prioritize their master's interests, even if it means sacrificing their own souls. To achieve this, I need to instill the same thoughts in them over a long period, so I've decided to have them return periodically to learn and solidify their thoughts," Tang Shi explained.

Yang Haoran's smile grew thicker upon hearing Tang Shi's words.

Tang Shi's approach, Yang Haoran highly approved of, and he had done it before, whether it was with a team of four or later with Tang Shi's three-person team. He had done ideological education, instilling in them thoughts that were beneficial to him, and it was a varied way of instilling.

Now, Tang Shi's approach was exactly what Yang Haoran had in mind.

"Thoughts are very important. As long as their thoughts don't go astray, their actions won't go astray either. I fully support your approach. At first, they might resist, they might object, but that's a normal phenomenon. However, with time, they will discover that what you say is correct. But you can't just talk nonsense; you must say something that makes sense to achieve the goal of instilling thoughts." Yang Haoran said while flipping through a book, his eyes on the pages, but his mouth speaking to Tang Shi.

"I understand, please don't worry, master. I have experience in this aspect and will definitely not disappoint you," Tang Shi said confidently, hastily guaranteeing to Yang Haoran.

"Ah, I've seen your abilities, so I believe you have this capability. You shouldn't disappoint me," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"I have another idea, I hope master can approve," Tang Shi said.

"Go ahead, what's your idea?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"I think they should learn some killing techniques. This way, they can have even greater destructive power," Tang Shi said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran's hand movements paused slightly, and he looked at Tang Shi.

Tang Shi and the other ghosts didn't have physical bodies, so they couldn't directly cause physical harm to their targets with their soul bodies.

However, after putting on flesh vessels, they were different. They regained their physical bodies and could use them to cause physical harm to their targets. If they learned some killing techniques in this state, and had a few handy weapons, plus their abilities as ghosts, their comprehensive combat power would definitely increase significantly.

"I've thought about this point before, but the question is who can teach you such killing techniques," Yang Haoran said.

"Don't worry, master. I'm quite confident in this aspect. You just need to hand this matter over to me, and I'll definitely be able to train them," Tang Shi guaranteed confidently.

Yang Haoran laughed upon hearing this: "You know how to do ideological work on targets, and you know fierce killing techniques. Hmm, I'm quite curious about your identity before you died."

Yang Haoran originally wanted to open his ghost eye to see what Tang Shi did before he died, but he thought better of it. After all, doing such a thing in front of Tang Shi would be somewhat disrespectful.

But Tang Shi, upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, was about to reveal his past identity, only to be stopped by Yang Haoran.

"When I first took you three under my wing, I promised not to investigate your past. No matter what you did before, I absolutely won't hold it against you. Since I've said it, I definitely can't take it back. Your idea is very good, and you're very confident, so just go ahead and do it. Don't be hesitant. I'm handing them over to you; they're your subordinates. You decide how to train them. From now on, you don't need to ask me for permission again."

Receiving Yang Haoran's affirmative response, Tang Shi was very happy. Yang Haoran not opening his ghost eye to investigate his past also made him feel respected, as everyone has secrets and doesn't want to be seen through completely.

"Thank you for master's trust!" Tang Shi expressed his gratitude.

"Heh heh, I must have at least some trust in you. Otherwise, how can we work together in the future? How can I dare to hand over my secret army to you to manage?" Yang Haoran said with a smile, and then suddenly remembered something, continuing, "By the way, our Ghost Cave is still missing a prison to hold captives. You'll open up this area, and it will definitely be useful in the future."

"I understand, I'll get it done in the shortest time possible," Tang Shi guaranteed.

Yang Haoran nodded, and then said, "I'll take these three ancient books. If you encounter any problems that can't be solved, don't try to force it. Remember to contact me at the first opportunity."
