Master

"I've been cooking since I got up. I'll have some soup today."

Ma Dong stood in the open kitchen shared on the third floor. The large casserole pot in front of him was rumbling.

He had started cooking when he left the house. Now, the bone fragrance was overflowing.

In addition to the bone soup, he also added abalone, sea cucumber, flower nectar, fish lips, and other ingredients. It was almost becoming a juice.

Smelling the fragrance, Wang Yi also stopped his programming and came out of the room.

This was the beef bone that he had bought. Of course, he had to share in eating it!

On the other hand, Liu Xiaoke, who had just returned today, looked a little tired. She also asked for a bowl without hesitation.

The thick and fragrant soup flowed down his throat and into his stomach. It was as if a warm current was spreading in his body, making him involuntarily heave a long sigh of relief, as if it had dispelled the fatigue of the day.

"Delicious."

"Sister Xiaoke, what did you encounter today?"

Ma Dong glanced at Liu Xiaoke and took the initiative to begin a topic.

Although he was obviously rejected last night, as a woman that he liked and a neighbor, he was still more concerned about this girl.

It was just like how he had a good impression of Liu Xiaoke. Other than her being good-looking, it was also because of her past and how he saw his past self in her.

Even if Liu Xiaoke's looks were average, he might not chase after her, but he would definitely take care of her.

"It's nothing. The director found an excuse to fire me. Anyway, I've at least already gotten half of the money."

Liu Xiaoke did not seem to care.

It was indeed possible for a director to ban her from the industry, but it was not necessary to spend time and effort on such a small matter.

Liu Xiao had relied on her image and ability to become a minor character actress. At most, maybe the director would spread some rumors to make it more troublesome for her to take on roles in the future. After all, the other party was not someone who could see through everything. It was impossible for him to cut off her path with just a word.

"It's good that you got some money. Makes things easier."

Wang Yi glanced at his first ever sponsor. Indeed, she did not seem to take it to heart.

It had to be said that this woman's personality was quite nimble. It was not easy for her to get stuck and walk into a dead end.

The last time he scared her so much, perhaps his actions were a little too sudden.

"By the way, you're all local experts. I want to ask you something."

Wang Yi then asked the two of them.

The server had already been ordered and he had already started some compilation of the basic programs. However, Uncle Li's eldest son, Li Yao, obviously needed some time to recover. He wanted to find out if there were any supernatural incidents. It would be best if it was relatively new.

There were so many people in a place like the film studio, so the probability of one being born was higher.

Many people might have died in the hospital, but Wang Yi had specially passed by when he came back. Perhaps because there were fewer people who died violently, he hadn't discovered that their resentment had reached the standard. At most, a natural spirit would occasionally be born and dissipate in a few days.

"Why? Have you thought it through? I told you not to waste your excellent figure."

Ma Dong said with a smile. He was quite interested in Wang Yi's figure.

Beside him, Liu Xiaoke was also taking small sips of the soup while looking curiously at Wang Yi and waiting for him to continue.

"I want to ask if there have been any accidents in the film studio recently, or if there have been any legendary supernatural incidents. It's fine if you've heard of it."

The question was straightforward, but Wang Yi didn't care about it.

In reality, there were many masters, so it didn't matter if he was a mage in disguise.

However, Wang Yi's sudden turn caught Ma Dong and Liu Xiaoke off guard.

Why did he suddenly ask about this?

"Ahem, I'm actually a freelance musician, the kind that sell music for money. I want to find inspiration. In addition, I've learned a few ancestral tricks, so I'd like to see if I can deal with that kind of thing and earn extra money."

There were actually many superstitious people in the film and television industry. Many people even looked for Feng Shui masters before filming, especially in Hong Kong and Baodao.

Wang Yi's last sentence was much more "honest" than the previous freelance musician's excuse of finding inspiration.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to be a master. But give up. You're too young. Why don't you let me take a look first?"

Looking at Ma Dong's raised eyebrows, Wang Yi was a little speechless. He didn't really know how to read physiognomy, didn't know any jargon, and only knew how to catch ghosts…

Beside him, Liu Xiaoke's big eyes were filled with smiles. However, she seemed to have thought of something and said,

"Oh, if anything, something has really happened recently. Seven days ago, someone died while filming a period drama next door. The media was suppressed, but there was still a cordon. It might not have been an accident."

Liu Xiaoke's words diverted Ma Dong's attention from teasing Wang Yi. He nodded.

"I've heard about it too. There seem to be some strange rumors, but the production team doesn't want to talk about it. They seem to have some worries. It's probably because the production team has issued a gag order or something. They're afraid of being targeted by the paparazzi."

Ma Dong also added. His circle was bigger and obviously knew more, but because he didn't pay special attention, he only knew this one thing.

"Similar incidents like this happen all the time. The rumors are like urban legends. There are rumors about supernatural incidents during filming. This is a custom in the film studio. Many new extras have even fallen sick from fear."

Ma Dong looked like he didn't care much. It was obvious that he didn't believe in such things.

"If you want to know, I'll help you ask around tomorrow and tell you."

Liu Xiaoke, on the other hand, patted her chest and promised. The bulging shape of her undershirt made the other two people at the table glance at her from the corner of their eyes.

Ma Dong immediately followed suit.

"I don't really care about such things, but if you want to know, I'll help you ask tomorrow."

"It's best to ask about similar things and then tell me a few locations."

Wang Yi did not reject their good intentions. He was not familiar with the film studio complex. If he really went over like this, it would be troublesome.

He was a mage from the low-magic world and in this kind of place where natural mana was lacking. The searching ability was so awkward under such conditions.

Moreover, the sunlight had some light-element mana that could restrain spirits. They did not have to worry about safety when they went to learn such things during the day.

After all, Ma Dong had also said that similar rumors appeared occasionally, but it did not have much of an impact.

When the time came, he would help them deal with some unclean things. Wouldn't it be good for both sides…

…

Wang Yi returned to his rented apartment in satisfaction after wrapping up the remaining soup that he couldn't finish under the dumbfounded gazes of his two neighbors.

At the same time, he thought that it would be a waste not to take advdantage of the popularity. He opened Weibo and did not respond to Xue Chuan's attacks. He posted another post alone.

"Accept the exorcisms, ghost-catching, and disposal of supernatural items in Shudian City. If you are interested, leave a message. If you are not sincere, don't disturb me.

"PS: I don't look at Feng Shui or physiognomy. I can't predict fate."

Good lord, because of Xue Chuan's involvement, the popularity had completely risen after a day of fermentation. It had already rushed into the top ten.

Meanwhile, Xue Chuan continued to post.

The "Studying in America" blogger was also leading the way with several good friends.

Wang Yi did not respond to them. Instead, he directly posted such an unscientific post. Immediately, the people who attacked him reposted the comments as if they had discovered a new continent.

Only, Xue Chuan felt as if he had punched cotton.

Holy shit!

I had said so much and carried out a widespread fire to prove that this was a civilian science, a pseudoscience.

But in the end, the other party directly posted something that caused all his saturated firepower to fall on empty air.

This was even worse than the other party's sharp counterattack. Or rather, this was the other party's sharpest counterattack possible against Xue Chuan.

What kind of move was this? It could be done like this?

After typing for a long time and deleting everything, he could only reply sarcastically.

"You forgot to tag it. Freelance musician. Scientific researcher. Master of the supernatural."

His words were obviously sarcastic, but after he finished speaking, Wang Yi replied to him.

"Thanks for the reminder."

When he looked again, he saw that Wang Yi had indeed added the label of a supernatural master…
