"The Underworld has developed so quickly..."
A century later, Xia Qingqing successfully settled in the Underworld.
She brought Guodong with her when she left.
During the years she spent by his side, Guodong's strength had also been gradually recovering.
Although he had forgotten many things, he had matured considerably.
If he were to continue staying in the mortal world, it was likely no one would be able to suppress him in the future.
Regarding this, Guodong didn't show much resistance.
—Resistance would be futile anyway.
Since she was entering the Underworld, she couldn't be an unregistered resident.
It was likely due to something he had done before losing his memory, but Xia Qingqing had passed the Ghost Market's residency audit. Guodong, however, was still stuck in the auditing phase.
Standing at the entrance of the bustling Ghost Market,
Xia Qingqing stretched lazily.
Noticing the slight looseness of her skin, she paid it no mind.
After all, she was a centenarian.
In fact, due to the miraculous power within her body,
even as she aged,
she could still move with the agility of a young person and lift a truck with one hand.
Even the graying of her hair and the loosening of her skin had occurred very slowly.
It was as if time had forgotten to pass her by.
When she passed away, she was wearing a white burial shroud.
After descending, her descendants had burned many clothes for her.
Xia Qingqing tidied her white hair and changed into a light-colored Hanfu, to match the style of the Ghost Market.
Her bone structure had always been excellent,
and even in old age, she retained a certain beauty.
"Ghost Market, here I come!"
...
Can you imagine an elderly person wearing Hanfu and walking briskly down the street?
Can you imagine an elderly person having more energy for shopping than young people?
Oh, it's a scene from the Underworld, then it's perfectly fine.
In the live stream,
when the viewers saw Xia Qingqing shopping enthusiastically, carrying large bags and small packages,
they felt something was a bit strange, yet somehow reasonable?
"I wish I could be this energetic when I'm old."
"Hey, don't you guys recognize her? She's a big shot from the agency!"
"Has the big shot also gone to live in the Underworld?"
"I heard this big shot could lift a truck with one hand when she was alive. I'm envious."
In front of the camera,
Bai Shuangshuang looked at the trending comments and couldn't help but glance behind her.
She thought for a moment and smiled at the camera:
"How about we go interact with that friend?"
Then she floated over.
At the jewelry stall,
Xia Qingqing was engrossed in her browsing when a voice suddenly came from beside her:
"Hello, may I have a moment of your time?"
The voice was polite and gentle.
Xia Qingqing turned from the stall and saw Bai Shuangshuang, dressed in a blue and white robe.
She appeared to be around thirty years old,
wearing a hat of the same color, with a network symbol on it.
—It looked like several lines added within a circle.
At the same time,
she noticed,
that the name tag on the other person's chest read: Network Security Promotion Department.
"What is it?" Xia Qingqing asked.
Bai Shuangshuang explained, "The Ghost Market is currently conducting an anti-fraud campaign, and we've borrowed a live streaming opportunity from Jiang Wuchang."
"Could we invite you to interact with us?"
Anti-fraud?
The Underworld has also kept up with the times... No, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before the Underworld's technology surpasses the human world.
"Okay," Xia Qingqing agreed.
She was also very interested in matters of the Underworld.
Bai Shuangshuang led her to the side of the road and asked, "My name is Bai Shuangshuang, what should I call you?"
"I just arrived at the Ghost Market today, you can call me Xiao Xia."
"Alright." Bai Shuangshuang didn't find it inappropriate to call an elderly person 'Xiao Xia.'
In the Underworld, outward age was not a standard for judgment.
"Have you bought a phone yet?"
Xia Qingqing: "Not yet. I plan to browse along the way and buy one when I see something suitable."
Bai Shuangshuang took out a box from her storage bag and opened it.
Inside was a row of phones in various colors.
"Then, as a thank you for participating in our promotion, how about we give you a phone?"
"They are all the latest models from the Underworld."
Xia Qingqing glanced at her, "That generous? Did you install something inside?"
"Is the anti-fraud promotion starting already?"
...
"Hahaha, this elder is so quick-witted!"
"Big shots are indeed cautious! (Thumbs up.jpg)"
"The last person who accepted one immediately started using it and had their money transferred away."
In the live stream, Underworld ghosts and human viewers were watching simultaneously.
Each was laughing heartily.
They had been following the live stream for a while.
They also knew some of the Network Security Department's tactics.
Speaking of Bai Shuangshuang, some ghosts recognized her.
The streamer had broadcasted her before.
She and her husband's souls were trapped together in an explosion case involving the choice between 'selecting a few children or selecting one adult.'
It was only after the streamer arrived that they were freed.
A century has passed.
Now, one is working in network security promotion, and the other is working in the anti-pornography and illegal publications department.
They eliminate harmful books, audio-visual materials, and crack down on illegal publications.
They are quite well-known in the Ghost Market.
...
At this moment, Bai Shuangshuang, in front of the live stream camera, also smiled.
"It seems Xiao Xia is quite vigilant."
"In the Underworld, we still recommend purchasing phones through official channels."
"Although some phones circulating in the market are cheap, they might have viruses installed."
"As soon as you log in, your password will be recorded, and money will be transferred from your account."
Saying this,
she put the phone box away,
and said to Xia Qingqing:
"How about this, we'll accompany you to a phone store to pick out a phone, and we'll pay for it. Consider it our reward?"
"..."
Xia Qingqing pondered,
if she didn't cooperate, this promotion likely wouldn't proceed.
"Alright then."
