Ghost Catching System

Tina’s face turned ashen. Although she was a witch, she was also a woman. It’s often said that women fear strange and bizarre things, and frogs happened to be Tina’s nemesis.

Tina let out a piercing scream. ”Ahh! A frog, a frog!”

The frog, deeply displeased by Tina’s shouting, clung tightly to her thigh, refusing to let go.

Chu Hao looked on with a puzzled expression; this was clearly a perverted frog.

With a leap, the frog seemed to jump up into Tina’s skirt. One could only imagine the awkward position the frog was now in.

Tina even felt the frog beneath her, doing who knew what filthy thing.

”Ahh!”

Tina screamed and fainted on the spot, her head buzzing. Who would have thought I’d one day be violated by a frog?

”Evil creature!” the old Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain bellowed.

The Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain, equally astonished by the frog, wanted to capture it for study.

The frog hopped out, looking at everyone with disdain. Its gaze swept around and landed on the sisters Mu Yuxun and Mu Yufei.

Especially upon seeing Mu Yufei, it became tremendously excited, its eyes round and bulging as if it had found a priceless treasure.

Could they be its next target?

Mu Yufei and her sister’s complexions changed. Mu Yuxun, in particular, was so scared her legs began to tremble.

Chu Hao was furious. What is this lewd frog planning? Is it aiming for Mu Yufei? I won’t allow it.

Chu Hao asked, ”System, is there a way to catch it?”

System: ”Recommend Host purchase the Demon-Catching Mirror. Cost: 15,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao currently had 20,000 Pretentiousness Points. He used a 20% Off Discount Card, making the purchase for 12,000 Pretentiousness Points.

”Use the 20% Off Discount Card for the purchase.”

”DING... Host has used the 20% Off Discount Card to purchase the Demon-Catching Mirror, deducting 12,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Item: Demon-Catching Mirror

Rarity: ★★★

Ability One: Emits a demon-catching light beam that traps demons in the mirror. Cost: 10,000 Mana Points per use.

Ability Two: By making demons look at their reflection, they are drawn into the mirror.

Chu Hao took out the Demon-Catching Mirror. It was palm-sized and resembled a bronze mirror.

He activated the Demon-Catching Mirror, instantly consuming 10,000 Mana Points. Inscriptions and talismanic seals appeared on the mirror’s surface as it fired a beam of bronze light at the frog.

The frog’s reaction was faster than expected. Sensing the threat, it leaped vigorously, evading the Demon-Catching Mirror’s beam.

The frog, now on guard, recognized Chu Hao as the one disrupting its fun again and let out an angry CROAK.

Chu Hao felt as if the lewd frog was cursing him. He deadpanned, ”Little frog, I’m the one who cut you from the stone. Won’t you return to your master’s embrace?”

Upon hearing this, the frog became even angrier. However, fearing the Demon-Catching Mirror, it turned and fled, vanishing into the crowd in an instant.

The crowd screamed, but the frog had vanished without a trace.

Chu Hao cursed internally. This frog is too cunning. It doesn’t act like one that just hopped out of a stone. Catching it is difficult, let alone subduing it.

The crowd was still reeling from the day’s shocking events. It all felt like a dream—a jade frog emerging from a stone!

”What on earth is this frog?”

”Who knows? The frog looked like it was made of jade. What a pity it got away.”

The crowd marveled.

At this moment, Su Huansheng sighed and said, ”Young friend Chu, you have won.”

For Chu Hao to win so spectacularly in stone gambling, Su Huansheng had no choice but to admit defeat. His Stone Manipulation Technique could only detect jade; Chu Hao’s skill, however, was even more formidable, allowing him to detect things beyond jade—even living creatures within the stone!

With Su Huansheng’s concession, Chu Hao was declared the winner of the gamble. The entire audience erupted into cheers.

”Amazing, truly spectacular!” the crowd exclaimed excitedly.

”This is the most incredible stone gambling I’ve ever seen in my life. All the previous ones were just child’s play.”

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

The big boss of Longhua Pavilion was on the verge of tears. What in the world is happening? Wasn’t this just a stone gambling match? It cost me over three billion! Especially since the value of the creature from the stone hadn’t even been factored in yet.

Someone asked, ”Sir, how much is that jade toad worth?”

A seventy-year-old man shook his head. ”It’s priceless. Too bad it got away. I dare say its body was made entirely of jade. I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life.”

Boss Nie was the first to step forward, congratulating him, ”Master Chu, truly young and promising.”

This tycoon, a magnate from the Imperial Capital, was notably generous. To acquire the peerless Treasure Jade, he had immediately offered to buy out an entire specialty company.

The second boss, surnamed Jiang, also came forward.

Boss Jiang said, ”Master Chu, I’d like to purchase that piece of Imperial Green Jade. My offer is 1.4 billion.”

The football-sized Imperial Green had been appraised by the judges at 1.3 billion RMB. Boss Jiang was indeed generous, directly offering 1.4 billion RMB.

Is it worth buying a piece of Imperial Green Jade for 1.4 billion? In Boss Jiang’s view, it was. Besides the many pieces of jewelry that could be crafted from such a large piece of Imperial Green, the 1.4 billion RMB could be recouped, albeit with a smaller profit margin. Moreover, it would allow him to build a relationship with Chu Hao.

Among them, the most frustrated was undoubtedly the big boss of Longhua Pavilion. His losses for the day were massive.

Chu Hao said, ”I’ll take cash only.”

Boss Jiang, a true tycoon, laughed. ”No problem.”

These bosses also wanted to get closer to Su Huansheng. Although Su Huansheng had lost, his performance in previous stone gambling sessions had been witnessed by all; his skill had left countless people in awe.

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”This is my first time gambling on stones; it’s not my profession.”

This declaration left the crowd even more astounded.

Su Huansheng simply smiled.

However, these bosses were puzzled. If stone gambling isn’t their profession, what exactly do they do? Was this gamble just for fun? To win so immensely just for entertainment... that’s quite a blow to our pride.

One person, however, was in utter despair: Taoist Bei Sheng.

He had fallen behind from the very first round. Forget a seventy percent chance of winning; he had lost without even a ten percent chance.

At this time, he was terrified of the old Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain. Having lost the Qingcheng Sword, he knew the old Taoist would undoubtedly seek him out to settle accounts.

In this gamble, Chu Hao acquired three items: the Three Souls Stone, the Qingcheng Sword, and assets worth five billion.

The Three Souls Stone could be exchanged for 10,000 Pretentiousness Points. Chu Hao didn’t exchange it immediately, wanting to first inquire about its actual use.

Additionally, the Qingcheng Sword could be exchanged for 7,000 Pretentiousness Points. It was a weapon meant for slaying demons and vanquishing evil, most effective against ghosts and demons.

But Chu Hao had no need for it; his Night Demon Blade was far superior, so he exchanged the Qingcheng Sword without hesitation.

”DING... Host has exchanged the Qingcheng Sword for 7,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

After exchanging the Qingcheng Sword, he now had 14,000 Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao murmured, ”What a pity, letting that toad escape.”
