Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao saw those ghosts gambling with money again. This was the common currency of the Underworld, quite different from the Underworld Currency used in the Yang Realm. Little Spirit had mentioned that ten thousand common currency could be exchanged for one Merit Point.

”Who are you?!”

Several tall ghosts appeared. Their auras were fierce, and like ordinary ghosts, they each had a combat power of 1,000. They stared at Chu Hao with predatory gazes.

Chu Hao was causing trouble outside the casino, and the people from the gambling house had already noticed. Shadows appeared from all directions, their faces deathly pale, staring at Chu Hao with predatory gazes.

Little Spirit was very perceptive; he brought a chair over.

Chu Hao sat down casually, crossed his legs in a boss-like manner, and said indifferently, ”I don’t want to waste time. Who’s your boss? Have him come out.”

A robust ghost, tall and surely around two meters, said coldly, ”Kid, you think you’re worthy of meeting our boss? You come here causing trouble; you won’t be leaving today. Cripple him for me.”

Chu Hao’s eyes turned icy as he activated his Pretentiousness Mode. This was the first step of his ’aloof and pretentious’ act: projecting cold indifference and a commanding presence.

”Cripple me? You’re welcome to try.”

Chu Hao’s tone was extremely icy, especially his eyes, which emitted a tyrannical and strong aura. The Inner Strength around his body was released and transformed into Ghost Qi by the Devil Mask.

As a result, his aura transformed completely. He seemed like a Demon King lying dormant in Hell, and the ghosts before him were mere ants.

His aura was so overwhelming that the group of ghosts, who had intended to attack, subconsciously hesitated.

The leading ghost, unable to contain his anger, attacked nonetheless.

But the next moment, Chu Hao flicked his finger, and his Inner Strength burst forth like a bullet, with tremendous force.

Currently, his Inner Strength could only be projected five meters, but that was sufficient.

To the other ghosts, it looked as though Chu Hao had merely flicked his finger. The attacked ghost doubled over as if struck by a heavy blow to the abdomen, his expression contorted in pain.

Furthermore, a visible stream of air seemed to pierce through his abdomen, creating a visual effect akin to an air cannon.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”You have three minutes. If I can’t meet the owner here by then, I will slaughter all of you.”

”DING! Host’s shocking display of pretentiousness has earned 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

The surrounding ghosts gasped. What kind of technique was that?!

Victory decided with a mere flick of a finger; the loser didn’t even comprehend how he had been defeated.

Little Spirit gazed at Chu Hao with even greater admiration. He had heard Ghost Cultivators were formidable but had never witnessed one in action. This was simply too powerful!

Little Spirit shouted, ”What are you waiting for? You only have three minutes!”

The other members of the Funeral Love Clan retreated in terror, immediately going to notify their boss.

The atmosphere grew incredibly tense; no one dared to breathe too loudly. The once-bustling casino now felt the heavy pressure, as if on the verge of conflict. Many ghosts grabbed their money and fled, though a few curious onlookers remained to watch the unfolding drama.

Just then, the silence was shattered by a broadcast announcement from outside. A message began playing on the television screens in the Fengdu Building.

”Attention: A wanted alert has been issued for a ghost and a living person. The ghost is extremely dangerous. Any citizens who spot them are urged to report immediately. A reward will be given.”

Subsequently, the figures of two women appeared on the building’s large screens.

From his position, Chu Hao had a clear view of the building’s television. When he saw the two women, he was visibly startled. Who else could they be but the Ghost Lady and the Ghost Mother? They were wanted?

Chu Hao felt a surge of excitement. This was excellent news! That Ghost Mother truly believed she was invincible. She never would have imagined ending up in the Netherworld after the teleportation. What was the Netherworld anyway? Even if you were a Ghost King, being too arrogant would likely lead to your downfall. Furthermore, with the Ghost Mother possessing a living body, not to mention all the people she killed in the Yang Realm, her crimes combined were enough to ensure she’d ’enjoy’ her time in Hell for an eternity.

Chu Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. With the Ghost Mother wanted by Fengdu, she probably wouldn’t have time to bother him. He could finally rest easy.

At this moment, several figures descended from the upper floor of the casino. They were dressed in gaudy, colorful attire—some were excessively thin, others excessively plump. Each had a deathly pale face and a menacing expression.

Among them was a tall female ghost. Her complexion wasn’t as deathly pale as the others; in fact, did she possess a skin tone closer to that of a living person?

She was tall and slender, with long, wine-red hair. She wore a leather skirt and high heels, her ears were adorned with numerous trinkets, and her eyes were heavily made up with dark eyeshadow.

Little Spirit whispered, ”Sect Master, she’s the big boss of the Funeral Love Clan, Zang Aihua.”

The boss of the Funeral Love Clan is actually a woman? How bizarre!

Zang Aihua approached. Despite her garish attire, she had an admirable figure. She looked at Chu Hao coldly and asked, ”You were looking for me?”

Another woman acting this way!

Brother Hao, however, maintained his pretentious demeanor as usual.

Chu Hao took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one with practiced ease, and took a deep drag.

”DING! Host has successfully shown off, gaining 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao was visibly taken aback. He hadn’t even started trying to show off yet! He’d only lit a cigarette. How could that count?

It turned out that when Chu Hao had taken out the cigarette and lit it, all the surrounding ghosts had seen him. Their eyes widened. When Chu Hao took a puff and exhaled, the aroma of the cigarette smoke made the ghosts tremble, their gazes fixed on him with intense longing.

Chu Hao suddenly realized something and grew nervous.

These cigarettes are from the Yang Realm... Could I have been discovered?

A ghost murmured, ”That… that seems to be a cigarette from the Yang Realm.”

”Indeed! The aroma is so fragrant... I’m actually starting to miss life in the Yang Realm.”

”Heavens! What kind of background does he have to possess cigarettes from the Yang Realm? And that lighter—good grief! That’s definitely a Yang Realm product too! That tiny flame... it makes me uneasy.”

Chu Hao broke out in a cold sweat. Have I really been found out? Damn it all! I just wanted to show off a little. Did I end up exposing myself instead? Remember, the Ghost Lady and Ghost Mother were just put on the wanted list! If a living person gets caught in Fengdu... the consequences would be unimaginable. I’d be absolutely done for!

Chu Hao steeled himself to flee, intending to rush back to the Yang Realm immediately. This place is too dangerous!

Zang Aihua was also taken aback. ”This cigarette is...!?”

Chu Hao tried his best to cover it up, waving his hand dismissively. ”Don’t worry about such minor details.”

Zang Aihua continued, ”What I mean is... this cigarette... you...?”

If she were to utter the words, ”You’re a living person,” Chu Hao was prepared to bolt instantly.

”This cigarette... could you give me one?” Zang Aihua asked, looking at Chu Hao with an expectant gaze.

Chu Hao: ”...”

What the hell?! She just wanted a cigarette? That scared the daylights out of me!

Chu Hao casually tossed the entire pack of cigarettes to Zang Aihua and stated coolly, ”Listen carefully, because I won’t repeat myself. From this moment on, this casino is mine. And so are you.”

Zang Aihua was visibly stunned. She was now certain that these were indeed cigarettes from the Yang Realm. Upon hearing Chu Hao’s declaration, a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

Zang Aihua lowered her head like a bashful young woman and murmured, ”Yes... alright.”

This plot development... feels a bit off somehow. Aren’t you agreeing a little too readily? Shouldn’t the King of Show-offs, yours truly, have first demonstrated his overwhelming power, then seized your casino and made you all submit in awe? Brother Hao truly couldn’t fathom where this plot was going anymore.
