Ghost Catching System

Rumors abounded on the internet. The secretly filmed videos and photos of Chu Hao were very blurry. He himself was even harder to make out, as the floor he was on at the time was very high.

Everyone was speculating about who the person on the rooftop could be.

Of course, Huaxia Country was the most troubled, as many foreign countries were making calls inquiring about the authenticity of the video.

During this period, Huaxia Country made an extremely important decision: to publicly acknowledge for the first time the existence of some inconceivable beings, such as demons!

「But that’s a story for another day.」

「Back to Chu Hao.」

He returned to his villa, having gained nothing impressive today. He was downright depressed.

The quest to kill Gui Yan hadn’t been completed—the guy had run away too fast.

Although he had received quite a few Pretentiousness Points facing the Ghost Monster King, the formation he had set up earlier and all the materials he had bought meant he was basically down by 2,000 Pretentiousness Points. He just wanted to die.

In the end, Chu Hao concluded that he had clearly shown off too much, scaring them away.

”Damn it, these three Ghost Monster Kings are such cowards,” Chu Hao grumbled.

However, he once again felt the mighty power of showing off, which had absolutely cowed the Three Great Ghost Monster Kings. Who else could have done that?

Time is on my side; there will be another chance to deal with you all.

Chu Hao opened the System interface.

Little Prince of Pretentiousness: Chu Hao

Level: 1

Experience Points: 8,270,000/20,000,000

Pretentiousness Points: 25,800

Mana Points: 25,000

Merit Points: 100,000

Ghost Servants: Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Confucius, Sadako, Chu Renmei, Jiayeci, Ghost Dragon (Qiu)

Title: King of Funeral Love (Calling out ’King of Funeral Love’ grants a daunting power)

Treasure Chests: 3 Bronze Treasure Chests, 2 Silver Treasure Boxes, 1 Golden Treasure Chest

His Pretentiousness Points were now quite substantial. Including the exchange of Merit Points, he had over 30,000 Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao rubbed his hands together and said, ”Open the three Bronze Treasure Chests.”

”DING… Host has obtained the Pian Wealth Copper Coin Sword.”

”DING… Host has obtained a crate of Red Dragon.”

”DING… Host has obtained 100 Pretentiousness Points.”

Bronze Treasure Chests are just trash, once again giving him a crate of Red Dragon.

Item: Pian Wealth Copper Coin Sword (Not for sale)

Rarity: ★

Ability: Can bring side-wealth to the carrier. (Gathering the Zheng Wealth, Pian Wealth, and Robbing Wealth Copper Coin Swords together will form the Three Wealth Copper Coin Swords.)

Seeing the properties of the Pian Wealth Copper Coin Sword, Chu Hao opened the System shop. When he couldn’t find the Three Wealth Copper Coin Swords, he quickly asked the System what was going on.

System: ”After you became the Little Prince of Pretentiousness, the System shop upgraded, adding many non-purchasable items. These items can only be obtained through quests or treasure chests.”

So that’s how it is. There are even things that Pretentiousness Points can’t buy.

Chu Hao thought it over: the Three Wealth Copper Coin Swords were related to wealth, and he wondered what kind of power they would possess if he gathered the three component swords together.

”Open the Silver Treasure Box.”

”DING… Host has obtained the Zheng Wealth Copper Coin Sword.”

”DING… Host has received 500 Pretentiousness Points.”

He now had the Zheng Wealth Copper Coin Sword. Only the Robbing Wealth Copper Coin Sword was missing.

Chu Hao rubbed his hands together and said, ”Open the Golden Treasure Chest.”

”DING… Host has obtained Star Moon Grass.”

It was the first time he’d gotten grass from a chest. What in the world was this?

Item: Star Moon Grass

Rarity: ★★★

Ability: A medicinal herb used by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection

It turned out to be a medicinal herb, and one used by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage. Chu Hao recalled the primary medicinal herbs required for Foundation Building; Star Moon Grass wasn’t among them. This seemed to indicate it was indeed for a higher level of use.

Thinking of the Foundation Building Scripture, if his power increased to the Foundation Building level, would he still be afraid of the Three Great Ghost Monster Kings?

With this in mind, Chu Hao wished he could go to the herb store right now and buy everything he needed.

However, it was already night, and a trip to the medicinal market would have to wait until tomorrow.

Chu Hao decided to go to sleep.

Yet, a tranquil and refined voice said, ”Steward, come here for a moment.”

Chu Hao was startled. It was Bai Ling’s voice. He secretly marveled, wondering if she was speaking from somewhere using the legendary technique of sound transmission.

Speaking of which, with so many ghosts, demons, and the Evil Cult coming to Anli City today, Bai Ling couldn’t possibly have been unaware. Especially with the news flying everywhere, why hadn’t she shown up then? Could it be that she feared the Ghost Monster King?

”Where are you?”

”On the third floor.”

Chu Hao went to the third floor. It was a glass structure, surrounded on all sides by glass, allowing one to look up and see the sun, moon, and stars—a sight of extreme beauty.

Bai Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, with a black pearl floating in front of her—the very Life Soul Pearl of the Sword Star Lord.

Tonight, Bai Ling was dressed in casual clothing, which could not hide her proud stature. Even through her clothes, her delicate body incited wild imaginings.

Chu Hao shook his head, casting aside such thoughts. She was an unrivaled Greater Demon from ancient times, an entity even the Underworld Deities dreaded.

Chu Hao asked, ”What do you need me for?”

Bai Ling pointed to the Life Soul Pearl and said, ”This is for you.”

Chu Hao was a bit confused. Earlier she wouldn’t give it to him, and now she was offering it? What did she mean?

Still, Chu Hao said, ”Really?”

Bai Ling calmly replied, ”Of course it’s true.”

Chu Hao muttered, ”What kind of crazy fit are you throwing?”

He grabbed the Life Soul Pearl, and the System prompted him, ”DING... A damaged Life Soul Pearl can be exchanged for 2,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Holy crap! This thing is so damaged it can only be exchanged for 2,000 Pretentiousness Points? What in the world is going on here?

When Bai Ling saw that Chu Hao was holding the Life Soul Pearl, she finally showed a smile and said, ”Chu Hao, how has this deity treated you?”

Chu Hao felt melancholic but still said, ”Of course, well.”

Well, my butt! Saying that was a total violation of my conscience. Ever since you came along, nothing has gone smoothly for Brother Hao!

With a smile, Bai Ling said, ”Keep that Life Soul Pearl. Also! First thing tomorrow morning, go and purchase medicinal herbs for this deity.”

Saying this, Bai Ling took out a small notebook where she had already written the list of items she needed.

Chu Hao pursed his lips as he took it. As expected, nothing good came from her without some work attached.

”Oh,” Chu Hao said, putting away the small notebook.

Bai Ling then asked, ”What happened outside today? Why were there so many bursts of Monster Qi and Ghost Qi?”

The corner of Chu Hao’s mouth twitched. Are you playing dumb? Such a big event happened, and you couldn’t care less?

Little did Chu Hao know that Bai Ling had been refining the Life Soul Pearl this whole time, not stepping outside even once, turning into an Otaku Witch.

Chu Hao briefly recounted the events, then boasted, ”Everything has been resolved. The Three Great Ghost Monster Kings have already been scared off by me.”

Bai Ling couldn’t help but say, ”Are those three blind? They actually got scared off by you.”

Chu Hao felt embarrassed, feeling like she was belittling him with such a comment.

Bai Ling waved dismissively, ”Alright, remember to buy the medicinal herbs for this deity tomorrow.”

Bai Ling couldn’t care less about the appearance of the Three Great Ghost Monster Kings. If she hadn’t been busy refining her Life Soul Pearl, she certainly wouldn’t have allowed those three little Demon Kings to succeed.

”Oh.”

Chu Hao left, still unclear as to why Bai Ling would give him the Life Soul Pearl.
