Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao waved his hand and summoned the Night-illuminating Jade Lion Horse. It was indeed a beautiful creature, pure white from head to tail without a single stray hair, and with a large stature that ordinary people could hardly mount.

Zhao Yun was thrilled. This was his mount during the Shu Han era. Seeing his steed again, an excited gleam lit up his eyes.

Chu Hao respected Zhao Yun and said, ”Since it’s our first meeting, I don’t have much to give you.”

Zhao Yun knelt on one knee, deeply moved, and said, ”Thank you, my lord.”

”Ding… Zhao Yun’s loyalty to the Host has increased.”

Indeed, just like Diao Chan felt goodwill, Zhao Yun is loyal. Chu Hao thought.

”Open the Golden Treasure Chest.”

”Ding… Congratulations to the Host, you’ve obtained 3,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Three thousand Pretentiousness Points, that’s quite a lot.

Chu Hao was pleased. Looking at the empty sports field, he waved his hand and mused aloud with an air of solitude, ”Once this Taoist Master takes action, trivial evil demons and ghosts are reduced to ashes. Sigh… it’s still too lonely.”

After Chu Hao left, the members of the Seventh District hidden in the shadows were in an uproar.

Shi Yunlong was shocked. Thinking about it now, I was a complete joke, actually trying to get the True Word Brush from someone like him? What exactly is his background?

Shi Yunlong felt a deep sense of apprehension and said with a bitter expression, ”Let’s go. We’re heading back.”

After tonight’s battle, upon hearing the news, the evil ghosts of Anli City were scared out of their wits and dared not linger.

Were they joking? Could they possibly afford to provoke such a divine Taoist Master?

One by one, they fled Anli City, terrified that Chu Hao might continue his hunt at night. If that happened, escaping with their lives would be impossible.

The ghosts were utterly terrified and left in droves.

「The next day.」

Chu Hao hadn’t woken up yet when someone knocked on the door. Qiu Yun’er’s sweet voice came from outside, ”Brother Chu Hao, time for school!”

Chu Hao groggily got up, opened the door, and saw an excited Qiu Yun’er standing outside in her school uniform, her large eyes shining like colored glass.

Seeing Chu Hao in only a pair of underpants, Qiu Yun’er covered her face and said, ”Brother Chu Hao, why aren’t you wearing pants?”

Chu Hao felt helpless. He had returned from the sports field at three in the morning and was now unbearably sleepy.

Chu Hao yawned and said, ”Yun’er, I’m so sleepy.”

Qiu Yun’er pulled on Chu Hao’s arm, pleading adorably, ”It’s my first time going to school, Brother. You have to come with me!”

”Alright, just wait a moment.”

After getting on the bus, Chu Hao looked drowsy, while Qiu Yun’er was practically bouncing with excitement. In her school uniform, she was stunningly beautiful, drawing the wide-eyed stares of many men on the bus.

The skirt of the Star Dream High School uniform was neither too long nor too short, but on Qiu Yun’er’s tall frame, it had a uniquely beautiful style that was simply incomparable.

Qiu Yun’er pouted, ”Brother Chu Hao, you went to exorcise demons last night and didn’t even ask me to come along!”

Chu Hao smiled. ”Don’t you have school? Besides, everything has been taken care of.”

”Okay, Yun’er will forgive you this time,” Qiu Yun’er declared, feigning maturity.

This little girl is too adorable, Chu Hao thought. It’s just a pity she’s only fifteen. Sigh… When will she be of age?

Alighting from the bus, the two headed to the school. Qiu Yun’er, being such a beauty, dazzled many onlookers.

”Holy shit! That girl is gorgeous!”

”Truly, unbelievably beautiful! But the guy next to her… why does he look a bit scruffy?”

Chu Hao’s face darkened. He turned to look at the guy who called him scruffy, but before he could say anything, a furious shout erupted, ”Who said my Brother Hao is scruffy? I’ll beat the crap out of you!”

They saw Wang Qi emerge from nowhere, rushing forward and delivering a slap that left the young student utterly confused and frightened.

”Ding... Host subtly showing off, gained 400 Pretentiousness Points.”

The people around were startled. Who is Wang Qi? The bully of Star Dream High School? Anyone he targets probably can’t sleep for three days and nights! And this guy even has a boss?

Dragging the young student over, his face wreathed in a smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, Wang Qi said, ”Brother Hao, I’ve brought the person to you.”

Chu Hao merely glanced at him and remained silent.

Cold sweat dripped down Wang Qi’s forehead; he was incredibly nervous. My life is still in Chu Hao’s hands! I know how fierce he is; I don’t dare provoke him again! Right now, I just want to suck up to him and beg him to let me off.

Seeing Qiu Yun’er standing to the side, Wang Qi respectfully said, ”This must be Sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law, if you need anything at Star Dream High School, please don’t hesitate to ask for my help—little Qi’s help, that is.”

Brother Qi, do you really think school is the same as the streets? Chu Hao thought sardonically.

Qiu Yun’er felt somewhat nervous and hid behind Chu Hao. ”Brother Chu Hao, he’s so fierce.”

Wang Qi’s smile bloomed even wider. ”Sister-in-law, I’m very well-behaved, not fierce at all.”

The young student standing aside couldn’t help but roll his eyes, feeling utterly miserable and also terrified of Chu Hao’s potential reaction.

Sister-in-law? Qiu Yun’er’s face turned bright red, slightly embarrassed to be called that.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”If I catch you using my name to beat people up again, I’ll break your fifth leg.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi’s smile stiffened. He quickly patted the young student’s clothes, tidying them up, and said, ”Little brother, are you alright? I was impulsive just now. Here’s five hundred bucks for you, to make amends.”

The young student was too frightened, covering his face and crying, ”Brother Qi, I... I dare not take it.”

Wang Qi put on a stern face. ”Are you refusing to give Brother Qi some face?”

The trembling young student stammered, ”Fine, alright.”

Everyone around was gobsmacked.

The students whispered among themselves. ”Who is that guy? Wang Qi is actually that afraid of him.”

”You don’t know? That’s Chu Hao. He’s been really famous lately. They say even Qin Feng doesn’t get any respect from him.”

”Wow! So that’s Chu Hao? The new up-and-coming bully of the third-year seniors?”

Chu Hao was baffled. Bully? When in the world did I become the school bully?

”That guy is seriously hardcore. He doesn’t even give teachers face; the principal has to be respectful when he sees him. He’s nicknamed Tyrant Chu.”

”And that’s not all! Didn’t someone jump off a building a few days ago? He pressured them into it.”

”Pressured someone into jumping? How badass is that?”

Chu Hao was speechless. I was actually saving someone, for crying out loud! How did that turn into me pressuring someone to jump?!

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, ”Look! Qin Feng is here!”

Then came Qin Feng, dressed in a suit, still putting on that superficially dapper front, although his face looked rather haggard.

Qin Feng was incredibly popular these days. Nicknamed ”Poop God,” he had gone viral nationwide. Many shows invited him, but he refused them all. The asking price for him to make a single appearance had already risen to half a million.

But he declined, just because he felt like it.

When Qin Feng saw Chu Hao, he scurried over eagerly, his face beaming like a chrysanthemum. ”Brother Hao, good morning!”

”Qin Feng is greeting Chu Hao too! My man’s got clout!”

”Qin Feng, once a heartthrob, now reduced to the ’Poop God.’ Could it be that Chu Hao forced him to defecate in the square too?”

”I heard a rumor that Qin Feng was indeed threatened by Chu Hao. If he didn’t go defecate in the square, Chu Hao would wipe out his whole family! Poor Qin Feng!!”

”That’s Tyrant Chu for you.”

”Ding... Host’s Scary Show Off, gained 400 Pretentiousness Points.”
