Ghost Catching System

After walking for a while, not a single car on the highway stopped for him, and Chu Hao’s heart was absolutely crushed.

This world is indeed full of malice.

A car pulled up in front of him, and the window rolled down to reveal a beautiful and exquisite face that said, ”King Chubi!”

Chu Hao was taken aback. Someone was actually calling him by his online ID! He realized the woman was none other than yesterday’s Miss Flight Attendant, Qiu Qianxue.

She was sitting in the passenger seat, and her boyfriend was driving.

Chu Hao said, ”Miss, what a coincidence.”

Qiu Qianxue was surprised. What was Chu Hao doing walking on the highway? This was quite odd.

Qiu Qianxue asked, ”Why are you here?”

Chu Hao replied, ”I was on my way to school, but my car ran out of gas halfway there. I’m quite frustrated.”

Qiu Qianxue chuckled and said, ”Get in; I’ll take you to school.”

Chu Hao got in the car. He was grateful to have met someone he knew, although not very well. Still, he was happy they could give him a lift for part of his journey.

Curiously, Qiu Qianxue said, ”I still don’t know your name.”

Chu Hao’s online ID was also eccentric—King Chubi.

”Chu Hao.”

”I’m Qiu Qianxue, and this is my boyfriend, Zhang Qi.”

Zhang Qi also said, ”Hello, and thank you for saving Qianxue.”

It turned out that Chu Hao was the one who had saved Qiu Qianxue. The robber had almost violated her, but Chu Hao had intervened and rescued her.

As such, it made sense why Qiu Qianxue wanted her savior’s WeChat details. Moreover, he couldn’t recall Chu Hao posing any threat. After all, Chu Hao was just a student, about five years younger than Qiu Qianxue.

Based on Qiu Qianxue’s personality, she wouldn’t normally be interested in a man so much younger than herself. Because of this, he felt much more at ease. Perhaps she only wanted his contact information out of gratitude.

Chu Hao said, ”It was nothing.”

Qiu Qianxue asked, ”Chu Hao, which school do you go to?”

”Xingmeng High School.”

Qiu Qianxue’s eyes lit up as she said, ”I also went to Xingmeng High School! I haven’t visited my alma mater in a long time; I wonder what’s changed.”

Qiu Qianxue was, after all, considered a top-tier school beauty.

Today, Qiu Qianxue was dressed in a Bohemian-style long dress. Its fiery red color was dazzling to the eye. The dress featured layered lace patterns and vibrant, delicately crafted tassels that fluttered around her ankles.

Zhang Qi was lucky to have won her over, but Chu Hao noticed that Zhang Qi’s countenance was not all that good.

How so? The man had a pointed chin and a hooked nose. Although he appeared quite normal, Chu Hao could tell that Zhang Qi was in for a streak of bad luck soon.

Chu Hao and Qiu Qianxue chatted about things related to Xingmeng High School. Meanwhile, Zhang Qi, who was driving, seemed unable to join in and was quite frustrated.

At that moment, Chu Hao noticed a convertible up ahead that had crashed into the guardrail, and he immediately felt amused.

Chu Hao said, ”Stop here for a moment.”

After rolling down the window, Chu Hao saw Huang Mao, who looked incredibly annoyed, and cheerfully asked, ”Need a ride?”

Seeing it was Chu Hao, Huang Mao became even more frustrated and said, ”Buddy, could you give us a lift?”

Chu Hao replied, ”Sure! To get off the highway from here, ten thousand yuan.”

Huang Mao immediately got angry and said, ”You might as well rob me!”

”Oh, then you can walk.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Mao anxiously said, ”Wait a second, buddy. How about this: let me borrow your phone so I can make a call.”

Huang Mao was desperate. His day had gone from bad to worse with the car crash. To make matters worse, when he intended to call the insurance company, he found his phone was dead, and there wasn’t even a charger in the car.

Chu Hao said, ”One phone call, ten thousand yuan.”

The two individuals in the car, Qiu Qianxue included, were speechless. How much animosity could these two possibly have?

Huang Mao, fuming, said, ”Don’t push your luck.”

Chu Hao, chuckling, said, ”So what if I push my luck? Otherwise, you can try flagging down a car yourself and make a call.”

Huang Mao felt utterly frustrated. You think I don’t want to? Oddly enough, not a single car had stopped for him today. He had been here for half an hour, and Chu Hao’s car was the only one that had pulled over.

”How about three thousand? It’s all the cash I have on me right now.”

”Deal.”

Qiu Qianxue’s mouth hung open in disbelief. Huang Mao was actually willing to pay money just to make a call!

Chu Hao took the three thousand yuan. Smiling, he asked, ”So, do you want to make your call, or do you want to get in the car?”

”Make the call.”

Chu Hao nodded and said to Zhang Qi, ”Buddy, could I borrow your phone?”

Zhang Qi, exasperated, said, ”Where’s your phone?”

Chu Hao honestly replied, ”My phone is out of credit.”

And you’re still lending phones to others? Besides, if I let my phone be borrowed, shouldn’t this three thousand yuan be mine?

Zhang Qi took out his phone and said, ”Here.”

Huang Mao, using the phone, made a call. After a while, his face darkened as he said, ”Are you kidding me, man? This phone is dead.”

Zhang Qi became exasperated and checked the phone; it had indeed run out of battery.

Qiu Qianxue said, ”Use mine then.”

Qiu Qianxue took out her bag and started looking for her phone. After a moment, she said in disbelief, ”Where... where’s my phone?”

Unbelievable! Today is truly cursed, with phones either lost, out of credit, or out of battery!

Huang Mao demanded angrily, ”Give me my money back.”

Chu Hao patted Zhang Qi and urged, ”Buddy, drive!”

Zhang Qi was at a loss for words. This doesn’t seem right. Taking someone’s money and not letting them make a call? Isn’t this a scam?

But Zhang Qi drove off, quickly leaving Huang Mao behind. Fuming with anger, Huang Mao cursed, ”Bastard, stop right there!”

Chu Hao stuck his head out the car window, extended his middle finger, and said, ”Idiot! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You really should learn.”

DING... The Host has shamelessly showed off and received 900 Pretentiousness Points.

That was impressive, to shamelessly show off like that. Brother Hao’s move was shameless indeed.

However, after driving about fifty meters, Zhang Qi’s car started to smoke and eventually stopped on the side of the road.

Chu Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”You’ve got to be kidding!”

Qiu Qianxue was also utterly speechless. ”You’ve got to be kidding!”

Zhang Qi yelled in disbelief, ”This... This is my new car!”

He hurriedly got out to check. He found that the engine was burnt, with a strong smell of smoke.

Huang Mao caught up and immediately burst into laughter. Pointing at Zhang Qi’s car, his stomach aching from laughing, he cackled, ”HAHA... Are you trying to kill me with laughter? Now I see, you are nothing but a plague god, a bad omen for anyone who meets you.”

And he was right; Chu Hao was indeed a plague god at the moment.

Chu Hao was also depressed. His ability to attract bad luck when showing off was apparently extraordinary.

With no choice left, Zhang Qi had to fix his car. When he opened the hood, a thick plume of smoke billowed out, covering his brand-name clothes and clean face with soot.

Zhang Qi was so angry he was practically steaming.

Qiu Qianxue asked helplessly, ”What do we do now?”

Chu Hao coughed awkwardly. Somewhat embarrassed, he said, ”Whoever pays my phone bill, my phone still has battery.”
