Expansion Time

Watching the last delivery man biking away on his e-bike, Pro recounted his experience of farming points. He called for delivery all day from multiple different stores. Alternating between brands and store locations, Pro called for enough pizza delivery that it filled the kitchen with pizza boxes, and best thing is that he didn't have to pay a single cent.

Of course, after two days of doing this, it seemed that this address finally got blacklisted. After searching the internet, there was news reporting that there was multiple car accidents near the old apartment area. The government claims that the road there is unsafe for driving, and it was suggested that people do not accept deliveries to the area until the government determines it to be safe once more.

"It seems there is another hidden ghost harvesting lives on the street, and the government has finally taken action due to the number of lives lost. I'm glad it is taking the blame for me and helping me to clear the traces of my exploitation of the delivery men. Too bad I can't see this ghost even though I have camped my window for so many deliveries or I would thank him by giving him a ticket to Toilet Wonderland," Pro thought as he peeked out the window at the empty street.

"Surprisingly, the only ones that escaped alive were bikers? Also, it seems this ghost wasn't here before as other cars left here fine. Is it a new ghost with power over car accidents? But aren't you being a little too blatant to do it in the daytime? Such a silly newbie seeking death," Pro concluded before a silly grin appeared on his face as he stared at his points.

After getting delivery from about 25 stores, the life points total has risen to an all new high of 1310! Pro picked up Alice and twirled her around in excitement. Alice responded by letting her head drop off and roll on the ground. Laying Alice's body back onto the bed, Pro picked up her head and placed it back in place with a smile. Others may find this disturbing, but for Pro who died from getting his neck strangled, it was like meeting his destined one.

"Well, now that I finally have the points, I should expand," Pro decided as he floated into the bathroom, "Expand towards living room!"

[Expansion Name] Living Room attached with Kitchen

[Room Category] Medium

[Expansion Cost] 1000 Life points

[Are you sure you want to add Medium Living Room attached with Kitchen to your domain?]

"Yes!"

[Deducting 1000 points. Expanding domain, please wait ...]

Pro then waited for the intangible force to fill up the living room and the kitchen, allowing Pro to feel a connection with them. Not long after, the system prompt popped up to signify the completion of the expansion.

[Expansion completed. Current host domain size: 2 small rooms, 1 medium room]

With a smile, Pro stepped out of the bathroom and into the living room. This time, no timer of death popped up.

"If I had this expansion before, I wouldn't have to disappear after every delivery. Perhaps, I could have milked more points over time, but too bad that is now not an option," Pro muttered to himself as he sat on the old couch and glanced at his status screen.

Waving his hands and testing his control of his new domain, Pro figured out that he could lock and unlock the front door in addition to opening or closing it with a thought.

"This could certainly come in handy if I need to trap someone and force them to go to the bathroom. Not only that, the living room has a larger space for me to fight enemies in. I don't have to put Alice in danger as I could lead the invading spirits into the living room instead of the other rooms," Pro concluded, "Then, there's also the knives I can now easily get and use in the kitchen. After assimilating the kitchen as a part of my domain, I can now bring the knives through walls with me if I'm in ghost form."

Pro recently discovered that he could bring objects through walls by turning it into ghost form; however, this ability has restrictions. First, the object must be an object assimilated by his domain. During an expansion into a room, all objects originally part of the room will be assimilated into the domain. Due to the fact that the knives from the kitchen were not originally part of the bedroom, they were not assimilated; however, once the kitchen was added to his domain, the knives were also assimilated. Of course, the pizza boxes also joined the assimilation.

Glancing at the messy kitchen piled with boxes, Pro got up and went to the kitchen to sort out the mess of pizza boxes. After Pro sent all the pizza into a trash bag, Pro flattened all the pizza boxes and stashed them under the kitchen sink as they may come into handy in the future.

Tasting an assimilated pizza, it actually had taste this time; however, the pizza has been left outside the fridge for days and started to smell bad. So, Pro could only helplessly toss them. Since Pro couldn't go to the trash disposal downstairs, Pro decided to 'dispose' the trash in a neighbor's apartment room.

Going around each neighbor's apartment door, Pro dropped off a couple slices of pizza. Although he wasn't sure if they would eat it, it at least will show them that he has friendly intentions, and he hopes that they won't mind him helping some neighbors reincarnate. After delivering some pizza to some neighbors, Pro tossed the trash bag with the rest of the pizza into room 442.

"I'm sure my neighbor won't complain, after all, they are all dead. Heh," Pro muttered as he dusted his hands after doing the chores.

Returning to his apartment and glancing at the fairly empty living room that doesn't even have a television, Pro's mouth twitched, "Might as well get back on the computer."

Sitting on the chair in his bedroom, Pro began to plan his future once more.

"I finally meet the requirements for upgrading my level to top-level baleful spirit," Pro happily exclaimed before sighing with melancholy,"But that needs another 1000 points. Where am I going to get that? Delivery is currently banned until the government decides to resolve the car accident spirit outside. And I don't know how long it will take for death seekers to come for an adventure."

Glancing at the forums, it seems that girl that he let go last time decided to advertise the place. Technically, she warned others that the apartment building was dangerous and that there are real dirty things there. She suggests that no one visits there; however, she couldn't provide proof. In Pro's eyes, this was the best form of advertisement. After all, death seekers always ignore what others say until they confirm it themselves. Of course, there are also a bunch of peeps that dare to be a keyboard warrior, but not a true adventurer.

"The lady above, did you scare yourself so badly that you sh*t yourself? So, you went to the toilet and saw sh*t in the toilet? Let me tell you, that ghost that sh*t in the toilet might be you!"

"Now, now, be gentle to the ladies. Although the lady gave a sh*tty excuse to tell us not to go, we should always take all advice, no matter how sh*tty it is, with a pinch of salt. Do note that salt and warm water does help with sh*tting."

"The above, please stop with your sh*tty joke. Be serious. We are discussing a serious topic regarding life and death on the toilet."

"Dude, if you can't take the heat, just get your booty on the toilet like me and start singing 'Let It Go'. It will solve your heat for sure."

Pro entertained himself by reading comments for a while before he joined in the fun in order to hype up the post. After a couple hours of hard work, Pro stopped and let the post ferment by itself. It's not good to over-hype as that could be counter-productive.

Sighing, Pro glanced at the useful landline phone nearby. Perhaps, he could earn even more points using the phone?

"Although all deliveries are not an option, but there are also other things you can call for," Pro thought as a weird smirk, that most men would understand, appeared on his face, "Although this may be illegal, but if no money is involved, then it is not. Even if it is illegal, it's not like the police can charge a ghost with a crime. Also, my goal is not even what other men are calling for."

Pro then diligently searched online for the numbers to nearby escort businesses. Not long later, Pro made a call and set up a 'date' with an escort. Pro promised that no money is involved, just that he is calling for purely 'business talk' inside his home. The escort understood and asked for an address, which Pro gladly provided.

Pro even warmly warned the escort about the remote area and that he could be dangerous. He even made sure the appointment was during the daytime for her safety, and he told her that she could bring a friend if she still feels unsafe. After all, one more person means one more set of points. Unfortunately, this lady declined as she claims to be 'professional' and that there was no need for another lady to share the 'danger'.

The call fortunately didn't last long, but still long enough for Pro to go over the one minute mark. Hence, Pro went to the toilet to recover once more. After recovering, Pro made more calls to set up more appointments spaced hours apart with other escorts. This was to make good use of his time as each escort has different schedules, unlike the back to back efficiency of the delivery men.

Even so, the appointments were still spaced many hours apart, some even days apart. Unlike pizza, escorts aren't unlimited and not all calls lead to a successful appointment. After all, Pro only had at most two minutes to talk on the phone in physical form at one time. It's hard to get a date set up unless you are an expert playboy.

After multiple calls with partial success, Pro finally gave up as he knew that there won't be much results outside of what he already had.

"At least I managed to schedule some. Even though the number of people coming is only a small trickle compared to the delivery man, they are still points after all. Now, let's clean up to welcome the guest," Pro muttered as he stepped into the bathroom.

Pro cleaned the bathroom toilet and tidied up the living room. Afterwards, Pro wrapped his neck with a shirt once more and sat in the living room sofa to wait for his first guest.
