Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain to retrieve the Golden Coffin, and under its effect, he quickly returned to the rooftop.
Yang Jian glanced at the Starving Ghost, then looked around, confirming Zhao Kaiming was not present, and immediately began boxing up the Starving Ghost.
"The matter is concluded. Do you have Professor Wang's contact information? I need to collect my reward."
After the Starving Ghost was successfully contained, Si Ye asked Yang Jian.
"Go to Guanjiang Residential Area. The officials have started taking over Dachang City and gathering the refugees. They will provide your reward there," Yang Jian said calmly.
"Alright." Si Ye nodded and headed towards Guanjiang Residential Area.
He wanted to find Wang Xiaoming to get his reward, but was told he needed to wait a while.
With nothing to do for the time being, Si Ye returned to his previous residence and took out the new Card he obtained from the Starving Ghost.
This Card obtained through the Starving Ghost was somewhat special.
（Event Card）You Are Mine; spend two Cards to make a certain female pregnant, nurturing a Ghost Infant inside her, allowing the Ghost Infant to steal a specific ability from the other party.
The nurtured Ghost Infant can enhance the strength of the Ghost Infant summoned later through the Ghost Infant Rocking Horse.
This Card has a certain synergy with the Ghost Shadow Rocking Car, capable of increasing the Ghost Infant's strength.
However, the most important thing is that the Ghost Infant whose strength is improved this way does not increase the number of Cards Si Ye consumes when using the Ghost Shadow Rocking Car.
But the drawback is also very obvious; Si Ye already has a huge consumption rate using various Event Cards.
Now, cultivating a Ghost Infant requires an additional consumption of Cards, further increasing the drain on his Card supply.
"I must master a Second Ghost quickly, otherwise, if this continues, the Card Maker will eventually enter an awakened state."
Si Ye frowned; whether it was an illusion or not, he felt something was attracting him.
It was just that this feeling of attraction was extremely weak. Previously, within the Starving Ghost's Ghost Domain...
he couldn't sense it at all. Only now that the Starving Ghost was suppressed did he feel this pull.
"Is it a Puzzle Piece of a Fierce Ghost? Or perhaps some kind of Curse?"
Si Ye closed his eyes. He didn't possess many special things; he had just entered the Mysterious Revival World.
Besides the Card Maker talent bestowed by the System, he only had the Inspiring Talent.
"I need to resolve the matters here quickly, and then go find this thing that is attracting me."
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Just then, Si Ye's door was knocked upon.
"Who is it?"
Si Ye opened the door and looked outside to see a middle-aged man with a square face.
"You must be Si Ye. My name is Zhao Jianguo, a logistics Captain from Headquarters. Here is the reward Professor Wang promised you." Zhao Jianguo smiled and handed a bank card to Si Ye.
"Considering your outstanding performance and crucial role in this Supernatural Incident, Headquarters has decided to award you an additional one hundred million Yuan."
Si Ye took the bank card and looked at Zhao Jianguo, his expression showing little change.
"State your purpose. Since you are proactively offering more money, you must have some objective in mind, right?"
Zhao Jianguo chuckled dryly, then said, "Indeed, there is something. I want to invite you to join Headquarters and become a Person in Charge."
"A Person in Charge? Like Yang Jian? But I'm not very interested in that matter." Si Ye's expression remained unchanged.
"Hehe, of course I know that, but if you become a Person in Charge, you will be the highest Person in Charge of an entire city," Zhao Jianguo stated.
"Think about it: saving the world, protecting the populace, being revered by everyone in the city as a savior—how desirable is that?"
"Si Ye, are you willing to become the savior of this world? Starting as a Person in Charge."
Zhao Jianguo looked at Si Ye, his face filled with anticipation.
This was the result deduced by a group of psychologists at Headquarters based on Si Ye's various actions and statements during the Starvation Ghost Incident.
They believed that money might not attract Si Ye as much, and once the amount reached a certain level, it might cease to appeal to him.
Conversely, offering him fame and glory would be more likely to attract Si Ye.
"Savior? I'm not interested in that either." Si Ye shook his head.
In another world, he might have been happy to play around with such a title.
But in this Mysterious Revival World, he would rather pass.
"Compared to being a savior, I prefer being a wandering spirit with malicious humor, a traveler playing games with the world, or a reclusive master who has seen through worldly affairs."
Si Ye's words made Zhao Jianguo's face stiffen. The psychologists were right, but not entirely right.
Si Ye did not seem to like the 'savior' persona.
"Is that so? How about being the Captain of a Special Operations Team?" Zhao Jianguo smiled.
"Like those special squads in movies, exclusively handling missions that ordinary people find difficult, possessing an identity unknown to others."
Si Ye shook his head: "Forget it, I still have some matters to attend to right now."
"If you truly want me to join Headquarters, just give me an honorary title. We can discuss these things after I finish handling my current issues."
"That works too." Zhao Jianguo was quite satisfied with this condition.
"Then you will be a reserve Person in Charge. Once you report for training in Dajing City, you can be formally promoted to the Person in Charge of a city."
"Here is your Walkie-talkie. Your dedicated Operator will contact you later."
Si Ye took the Walkie-talkie; this Walkie-talkie was made of Gold and could be used to make contact during certain Supernatural Incidents.
"Have we finished discussing your matters? Then let me discuss mine," Si Ye said.
"I need you to create a secret file for me. In that file, you need to change my identity and name to another one."
"I don't require you to keep it completely confidential, but I don't want anyone below the level of Wang Xiaoming to be able to view that file."
Zhao Jianguo nodded thoughtfully, "I will try my best to achieve this. As long as the clearance is not higher than mine, no one will be able to see that name."
"That's fine. People rely on mutual assistance. If you handle this matter for me, I will often give you face," Si Ye nodded in satisfaction.
"However, outside of the secret file, you must create a fake identity. The name should be the same as my current name: Si Ye."
Zhao Jianguo nodded, "Don't worry, I understand this clearly."
"What kind of name do you require?"
Si Ye pondered for a moment and spoke the name he wanted.
"In the hidden file, just call me 'Shi Ye' (Ten Nights)."
"'Shi Ye'?" Zhao Jianguo nodded.
"Then I will take my leave now. I have some things to attend to; it seems something is targeting me."
Si Ye waved his hand, walking out the door with the bank card and the Golden Walkie-talkie.
"If the ID card is ready, give it to my Operator. After I finish dealing with my situation, I will go find her to collect the ID card."
Si Ye was not worried that Zhao Jianguo would play any tricks.
For an Ordinary People to continue advancing, he needed to rely on connections and social maneuvering.
As a logistics Captain, his path to advancement was nothing more than getting to know more powerful Ghost Controllers.
Although Si Ye was a Newcomer, his performance in the Starvation Ghost Incident was quite good.
