Ghost Catching System

Just then, the police were handling Wang Shan’s case. Hearing someone was about to jump from a building, they came over to persuade the Fatty not to jump.

”Student, if you have any problems, you can talk to us. Please don’t lose hope; you only live once,” the police officer shouted through a bullhorn.

”I... I don’t want to take the college entrance exam,” Fatty said in terror.

Everyone was speechless. Was that really why he wanted to jump?

After several more minutes of persuasion, Fatty clutched the mast tightly and said, ”Stop holding me back, I’m going to jump.”

Damn it!!

You’re on the mast, and no one is stopping you. Are you just messing with us?

Another half hour passed, and everyone’s legs had turned to jelly from standing so long, but Fatty kept shouting not to stop him from jumping, yet he did not jump.

A boy couldn’t hold back and said, ”Why don’t you just jump? The sooner you die, the sooner you’ll be reborn.”

With snot running down his face, Fatty glared at the student and said, ”Wang Zhong, you wish. I’m not jumping.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. So, this damned fatty had been playing them all along?

Never mind Chu Hao; even the police wanted to beat him up.

Suddenly, Fatty screamed, ”AHHH... My leg’s gone numb! Save me!”

Chu Hao: ”...”

Everyone: ”...”

If you don’t invite death, it won’t come. He was obviously just toying with them.

The police officer anxiously said, ”Why hasn’t the air cushion arrived yet?”

A member of the rescue team wiped sweat from his brow and said, ”The air cushion was chewed through by rats.”

”Then use the spare one!”

”The other air cushions were also chewed through.”

”Damn it!!”

Everyone was speechless. Could this damned fatty be any more unlucky?

Suddenly, Fatty’s grip slipped, and he plummeted from the tenth floor.

Teachers and students screamed, and Teacher Qiu Xueying closed her eyes.

Cursing, Chu Hao rushed forward, intending to catch Fatty. He was on the verge of tears.

Fatty’s unlucky! No, I’m the unlucky one! Chu Hao thought. I’m still aching, and now a two-hundred-pound Big Fatty is falling! Damn it! Why did I have to run my big mouth? A two-hundred-pound fatty really showed up! Yes, this must be the power of the Pretentious Dice.

BANG!

The two-hundred-pound Fatty slammed down onto Chu Hao, leaving him dazed and seeing stars.

This weight was easily over a thousand pounds!

Chu Hao was so dazed from the impact he was seeing stars; the damned fatty had crashed down, his butt landing squarely on him.

”AHHH!! I’m dead, I’m dead!” Fatty wailed.

Chu Hao wanted to curse, but he was so shaken by the internal injuries that he could hardly speak.

”I... I’m not dead! Haha... I’m alive!” exclaimed Fatty in joy.

”Get off me,” Chu Hao finally gasped, feeling as if his bones were shattered.

The crowd gathered around. They found that Fatty was unharmed, while Chu Hao was the one left dizzy and disoriented.

Damn it! Why am I so unlucky?

”Ding... Host has successfully engaged in pretentiousness, gaining 100 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Ding... Host has engaged in shocking pretentiousness, gaining 200 Pretentiousness Points.”

Everyone around was gaping. They thought Fatty was doomed when he jumped, but he was unexpectedly caught by someone barehanded.

Yes, he was caught alive and well.

”Oh my God, that’s incredible!”

”Damn! How strong do you have to be to catch a two-hundred-pound Fatty?”

”Bro, I’m impressed.”

”Hey, hey... it’s the guy from Class 164, the same one who caught Teacher Qiu Xueying when she fell from the building!”

”So cool...”

Chu Hao’s actions were met with cheers and disbelief, alongside unparalleled shock.

Teacher Qiu Xueying ran over, concerned. ”Chu Hao, are you okay?”

Chu Hao grimaced. ”My... my back hurts. It feels like it’s broken, and my hands hurt so much I can’t lift them.”

Principal Lu shouted hastily, ”Pan Boyuan! Pan Boyuan! Come and check on him quickly!”

With a bruised face, Pan Boyuan came over, examined Chu Hao’s back, and said, ”It’s indeed broken.”

Chu Hao couldn’t even stand up and was eventually carried to the infirmary by a few classmates, where he lay on a hospital bed.

Teacher Qiu Xueying stayed by his side the entire time, tears welling in her eyes, terrified something might happen. Principal Lu had already sent the others away.

Chu Hao was on the verge of tears. I got to show off, sure, but this is such terrible luck! What a mess!

Chu Hao asked, ”System, can you heal this?”

System replied, ”Host has an internal injury. You must upgrade your healing technique, which requires 5,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Damn it!! Why don’t you just rob me?”

In pain, Chu Hao called out, ”Teacher Qiu...”

Teacher Qiu Xueying rushed to respond, ”Chu Hao, what’s wrong?”

”I need to pee.”

”I’ll help you.”

Unable to stand it anymore, Pan Boyuan said, ”It’s okay, I’ll help him.”

Like I need a big guy like you to help me! Chu Hao looked annoyed, feeling that Pan Boyuan was just a third wheel. Their moods were now the opposite of earlier.

Ugh... Misfortune, please come quickly and get rid of this guy! Chu Hao thought.

Suddenly, Pan Boyuan answered a phone call. His expression changed dramatically as he said, ”What! Someone keyed my car! That little Wangba! Wait, I’m coming right now!”

Chu Hao: ”...”

Holy crap! It actually happened?

Pan Boyuan was on the verge of tears. He’d had way too much bad luck today; his car had been keyed by God-knows-who, and he quickly rushed out.

Chu Hao’s mouth fell open. This misfortune ability is too damn powerful! Whatever I wish for happens! So it’s not just me who’s unlucky; the people around me are unlucky too. That’s some consolation, at least.

Teacher Qiu Xueying helped him to the restroom. Chu Hao couldn’t lift his hands and said awkwardly, ”I... My hands are broken. I can’t pull down my pants to pee.”

Teacher Qiu Xueying blushed. As a teacher, her primary concern was for her student. She asked, ”Do you need my help?”

Chu Hao couldn’t have been happier and, with a big smile, said, ”Sure.”
