Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Huh? Am I not...dead?

Su Muqiu opened his eyes, and his memory stayed on the speeding truck. Then, he seemed to hear Ye Xiu's shouting, and... Mu Cheng's crying.

So, what is happening now... Su Muqiu looked at the surrounding environment and scratched his head unconsciously.

There was a vast expanse of white all around, and in front of him there was a constantly fluctuating blue sphere.

[If you have a chance to do it again, will you still love games? 】

"Love... games?" Su Muqiu was stunned.

Do you love games? I guess, I can't really say. Su Muqiu scratched his head. He just used games as a way to support himself and his sister, finding bugs in games, writing some cheats, and playing games for others...

Su Muqiu floated in the air silently.

If we talk about passion, can I really count myself as one of them? Compared to me, Ye Xiu is the one who can be said to truly love games, right?

But... I did meet a lot of friends because of the game, Brother Tao, Lao Wu, Lao Wei, Lao Han... Ye Xiu.

"I think I will." Su Muqiu laughed: "By the way, where is this place? It doesn't look too much like the underworld in my imagination. You are not the King of Hell, are you?"

The blue sphere did not respond, but simply undulated slightly and then disappeared.

"Hey, this..." Su Muqiu hurriedly tried to stop it, but he found that everything around him began to disintegrate and turned into fragments, and then he appeared in a small alley.

What’s going on… Figures kept passing through Su Muqiu’s body. They seemed unable to see Su Muqiu and just stared straight ahead.

This is... Su Muqiu raised his hand. His hand had no physicality and was full of illusion.

Can't they see me? Am I a wandering ghost? Su Muqiu looked around blankly. Across the street, a child holding a piece of bread and looking a little dirty was looking at him with his head tilted.

"Huh?" Su Muqiu turned his head and looked behind him. It was just a tattered poster with a picture of cosmetics endorsed by an unknown celebrity.

"Hey, kid! You mature precociously!" Su Muqiu made a face at him.

"Huh? My name is not Xiao Gui, my name is Li Wen." The boy frowned and retorted seriously.

"It's just a little kid... Wait, can you see me and hear me?" Su Muqiu's eyes lit up and she floated to the boy's side: "What year is it this year? Which city is this?"

Li Wen frowned, thought about it, and shook his head.

"Turns out he's just a little fool..." Su Muqiu sighed regretfully, squatted beside Li Wen, and looked at the bread in his hand.

Li Wen tilted his head and followed Su Muqiu's line of sight. After hesitating for a moment, he broke off a piece of bread and handed most of the rest to Su Muqiu: "Here."

……

"Um, I don't really want to eat it, but... this bread seems to have expired for two days, right?" Su Muqiu pointed. Although it's not inedible after two days of expiration, it will become sour and definitely not tasty for children. Su Muqiu had eaten this kind of bread before: "You seem to have been cheated into buying expired bread. Go back and ask for compensation from your parents." Li Wen looked at Su Muqiu blankly and shook his head: "This was given to me by a kind uncle, not bought, and... I don't know where my parents are, I'm looking for them."

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously became gentle.

“So… huh?”

[The system starts binding, the binder selects the adapter, Li Wen, male, ten years old... The contractor is Su Muqiu... Start task selection...]

"What's wrong?" Li Wen asked curiously.

"No, nothing." Su Muqiu shook his head. The series of reminders just now made him roughly understand something.

Strictly speaking, I am indeed dead. Now I am indeed a ghost, or to put it more nicely, I can be called a ghost. I have to help the contractor complete the task, so that I can return to my hometown, or even get a new body...

She's said to be a spirit behind the scenes, but actually she seems more like the nanny of this little guy.

"Hey, little guy, call me brother." Su Muqiu stretched out his hand and wanted to poke Li Wen's face, but as expected, it had no effect.

Li Wen looked at Su Muqiu without saying anything.

"I am definitely older than you. From now on, we two share a common destiny. It won't be a loss for you to call me brother. By the way, I have a younger sister, but you should call her sister. If there is a chance, I will introduce her to you. Mu Cheng has always wanted a younger brother. This girl likes to take care of people... Eh? Hello? Why are you crying?" Su Muqiu suddenly became a little flustered.

Tears flowed from Li Wen's eyes: "Brother... is he family?"

"Well...well, don't cry for now, let's just leave it at that, okay? Well, wait, don't cry, don't cry, yes, yes, we're family!"

"Here, give it all to brother. Brother is much taller than me, so he should eat more." Li Wen wiped his tears and handed the two pieces of bread, one large and one small, to Su Muqiu, looking at Su Muqiu expectantly: "I didn't bite it, I just broke it apart and ate it, it's not dirty."

“No, no, hurry up… forget it, don’t eat this.” Su Muqiu scratched his head, looked at Li Wen’s expectant eyes and sighed: “Don’t look like you’re about to cry again! I really can’t eat this in my current state! And it’s not right for you to keep eating this, let me see… Oh, the novice gift pack, and there’s money! Look in your pocket.”

Li Wen was stunned for a moment, then he touched his pocket and took out a few red bills.

"Put it away quickly, and find somewhere else to buy something to eat. This world seems to be dominated by games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter. It's a little monotonous, but I earned the first batch of startup funds by recruiting apprentices in the arcade, and later I won a lot by participating in competitions..." Su Muqiu touched his chin, stood up, and stretched out his hand: "Let's go, Xiao Wen, let's find a bathhouse to take a shower first. From now on, we will depend on each other. My name is Su Muqiu, you can call me Brother Su, Brother Qiu, Brother Mu, or Brother Muqiu."

"Yeah." Li Wen nodded obediently.

"By the way, if there are outsiders around in the future, don't talk to me like you are now, otherwise you will be regarded as a little fool."

"Well, if no one else is around, can I talk to my brother?"

"...You always make me feel guilty when you do this, you know that! I didn't bully you! Forget it, just do as you like... By the way, remember to measure your height when you go to the bathhouse! Maybe you can get a free ticket."

"it is good!"

This was the first time the two met. (End of this chapter)
