Tang Shi had opened up a collection room within the secret base. This room was specifically designated for storing various items. Anything the group obtained from outside was categorized by Tang Shi into different grades and placed inside, awaiting Yang Haoran, their master, for inspection.
The collection room didn’t hold many items—in fact, there were very few, perhaps just a handful. For such a vast collection room, these few items certainly made it look rather sparse.
However, this was just the beginning, so Tang Shi didn't feel it was embarrassing. He believed that in the future, as more and more collectibles accumulated, this collection room might not even be large enough to contain them all.
Following Yang Haoran's instructions, Tang Shi had finished distributing a Soul Pill based on the group's achievements over the past few months. Naturally, all the various items they had acquired were also factored into their performance.
A few days later, Yang Haoran once again arrived at the secret base. Since this secret base was a special place used for raising ghosts, Yang Haoran had named it the Ghost Cave.
Inside the Ghost Cave's collection room, Tang Shi stood respectfully to the side, while Yang Haoran examined the various items Tang Shi had organized.
Although the number of items was small, only a few in total, their types were diverse, including books, magical artifacts, and even a Demon Weapon.
The three ancient books consisted of one recording supernatural tales, another documenting various ancient legends from different regions, and a third detailing some of the rarer professions found in the New Beginning Realm.
Yang Haoran found such books quite interesting, as they could broaden his knowledge.
There were already so few items in the collection room, so Yang Haoran didn't plan to put them all into his independent space. Apart from the three ancient books, he intended to leave the other items in the collection room itself, ready to retrieve them whenever he might need them in the future.
After several months, Yang Haoran's ghostly subordinates had only acquired these few items. Far from being disappointed, he felt quite pleased, as it proved that his idea of maximizing the value of New Beginning Coins was indeed viable.
Tang Shi and the other two Evil Spirits had joined later, and their time working for Yang Haoran wasn't long, so they hadn't accumulated such gains. The few items brought back this time were all found by the original four-person group.
Though few, these items had cost the four a great deal of effort. After all, the things they brought back weren't something that could simply be bought with money; a certain amount of luck was also required. Even if these items had limited value, without luck, they couldn't be acquired with money.
Overall, Yang Haoran was quite satisfied with the performance of the four-person group. Whether it was the information they provided or the items they brought back, he found it all very good.
As for the three Evil Spirits, including Tang Shi, there was no need to mention Tang Shi; Yang Haoran had witnessed his abilities firsthand and had a general idea of his strength. However, the capabilities of the other two Evil Spirits would depend on their future performance.
"When do you plan to send them out on missions again? " Yang Haoran asked Tang Shi, while flipping through one of the three ancient books.
"Your subordinate plans to send them out again after one month," Tang Shi replied.
"Oh? Why? " Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged as he continued to read, asking with a smile.
"Your subordinate intends to use this month to strengthen their ideology. The sole purpose is to ensure they constantly remember their identity and must prioritize the master's interests above all else, even if it means their own Soul Transformation. To achieve this, a prolonged indoctrination of the same ideology is required. Therefore, your subordinate has decided that they will return for a period of study every so often in the future, to reinforce their thinking," Tang Shi answered.
Upon hearing Tang Shi's words, the smile on Yang Haoran's face deepened.
Yang Haoran wholeheartedly approved of Tang Shi's approach, as he himself had done similar things. Both with the original four-person group and later with Tang Shi and the other two, he had provided ideological education, instilling thoughts beneficial to him, and varying his methods of indoctrination.
Tang Shi's current method perfectly aligned with his intentions.
"Ideology is very important. As long as there are no problems with their ideology, their actions won't go astray. I strongly support this approach of yours. Initially, they might show resistance and repulsion, which is normal. But over time, they will realize that everything you say is correct. However, you also shouldn't talk complete nonsense; you must speak plausibly to achieve the goal of indoctrination," Yang Haoran said to Tang Shi, his eyes still on the book and his hand still turning pages.
"Your subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Master, your subordinate has experience in this area and will absolutely not disappoint you," Tang Shi confidently promised Yang Haoran.
"Hmm, I've seen all your abilities with my own eyes, so I believe you have this capability. You shouldn't disappoint me," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Your subordinate has another idea, and hopes Master can approve it," Tang Shi said.
"Tell me about it. What's the idea? " Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
"I want them to learn some killing techniques, so they can possess even greater destructive power," Tang Shi stated.
Hearing this, Yang Haoran's hand paused slightly, then he turned his gaze to Tang Shi.
Tang Shi and the other ghosts had no physical form, so they couldn't directly inflict physical damage on targets with their Spirit Bodies.
However, it was different once they wore their Skin. With Skin, they regained a physical body and could use it to inflict physical damage on targets. If they learned some killing techniques under such circumstances, and also had a few handy weapons, combined with their inherent abilities as ghosts, their overall combat power would certainly see a significant increase.
"I once considered what you're suggesting, but finding someone to teach you such killing techniques is a problem," Yang Haoran said.
"Master need not worry. Your subordinate is quite confident in this area. You just need to leave this matter to your subordinate to handle. As long as Master agrees, your subordinate will definitely be able to train them all," Tang Shi vowed with conviction.
Yang Haoran smiled upon hearing this. "You know how to do ideological work on targets, and you also know formidable killing techniques. Heh, I'm actually a bit curious about your identity before you died."
Yang Haoran had initially thought about activating his Ghost Eye to see what Tang Shi had been in his past life, but after a moment's consideration, he decided against it. Doing such a thing right in front of Tang Shi would be somewhat disrespectful.
And when Tang Shi heard Yang Haoran's words, he was about to reveal his former identity, but Yang Haoran stopped him.
"When I first took you three under my command, I promised you that I wouldn't pry into your past. No matter what you used to do, or what you did, I absolutely wouldn't dwell on it. Since I've spoken these words, I certainly can't take them back. Your idea is very good, and you're very confident, so go ahead and do it without hesitation. I'm entrusting them to you; they are your subordinates. How you drill them is up to you. In the future, you don't need to ask for my permission for such matters."
Receiving Yang Haoran's affirmative reply, Tang Shi was delighted. The fact that Yang Haoran didn't activate his Ghost Eye to investigate his past made him feel respected. After all, everyone had their privacy, and no one wanted to be completely exposed and scrutinized.
"Thank you for your trust, Master! " Tang Shi expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, I certainly must have at least some trust in you. Otherwise, how could you and I continue to get along in the future, and how could I dare entrust my secret army to your management? " Yang Haoran said with a laugh. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh right, our Ghost Cave is still missing a prison for holding captives. You should open up that area; it will definitely come in handy later."
"Your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will implement this matter in the shortest possible time," Tang Shi guaranteed.
Yang Haoran nodded, then added, "I'll take these three ancient books. If you encounter anything you can't solve, don't force it; remember to contact me immediately. " Under the Moonlight God of Night
