Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao almost spat out blood. This damn system, what kind of ghostly task is it issuing?

Now it’s causing him to rush to Jiuhua Sacred Land. Not to mention if he can find Wang Yuyan or not, even if he does, there’s no guarantee she’ll fulfill her promise.

The next words from the big man revealed Chu Hao’s biggest worry.

The big man said, "The Tomb Keeper also said that if you don’t want to die, don’t go shouting out loud that you’re a disciple of Wang Changsheng. You can only tell Wang Yuyan about this; she will help you."

Damn it.

Chu Hao said, "You know all this because you’re afraid of dying, right?"

The big guy lifted his shirt, revealing a Ju-on Technique drawn on his belly, and said miserably, "Boss, only by following you can I survive."

So he’s also someone sharing the same fate.

Chu Hao sighed and asked, "Where are we now?"

The big man replied, "The Tomb Keeper sent us out. Now, this should be the Bamboo and Stone Forest in the Shanhai Realm. I know the way here; a hundred miles away is Baipo City."

Chu Hao patted his shoulder and said, "Let’s go, we only have a year’s time."

The big man had no choice but to lead the way.

The big guy’s name is Ma Dazhang, which made Chu Hao laugh. Ma Dachang?

Ma Dazhang isn’t weak; he’s a Yin Yang Land Master at the Nascent Soul stage, just like Chen Tianzhou.

As they walked, Chu Hao opened his attribute interface.

He discovered that there was a change in his attribute interface.

Pretentious Young King: Chu Hao

Strength: Yin Yang Land Master (Complete Realm)

Level: 6

Experience Points: Zero/Seven Billion

Pretentiousness Points: One million two hundred and sixty thousand

Merit Points: Zero

Titles: Angry Little Prince, King of Funeral Love, Slaughter Madman, Pretend Well, Progress Every Day, Saint Heavenly Master.

Mana Points are gone.

It’s changed to show strength, Yin Yang Land Master Mastery Realm.

Chu Hao said, "System, when did you update the interface?"

System: "After the host fell unconscious and reached the Shanhai Realm, the system refreshed the map update to cater for the host’s adventures in the Shanhai Realm."

Chu Hao said, "Haha, you’re really considerate."

Chu Hao continued, "The strength is Yin Yang Land Master Mastery Realm, so does that mean I can only fight those at the Mastery Realm, and not those at the Heavenly Master Realm?"

System: "No, this only indicates the host’s strength. The actual level depends on the situation and opponent."

Chu Hao felt relieved.

Since he was hit by the Ju-on Technique, there’s no other choice. He absolutely has to go to Jiuhua Sacred Land. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have completed the special task. It was simply a trap.

Finally, they arrived at the first city Chu Hao arrived at in Shanhai Realm.

Baipo City.

Chu Hao originally thought Baipo City would have an ancient city style.

Because the Yin-Yang Mages of Shanhai World he saw before wore clothing that leaned toward ancient styles.

But when he arrived in Baipo City, he found that their clothing leaned towards ancient styles as well as a kind of ancient fashion style.

For example, some girls wore dresses similar to modern society, with white stockings, shiny sandals, revealing cute toes.

For instance, some people liked ancient-style clothing, but the craftsmanship inclined more towards a trendy style, akin to a second-dimension style.

The architectural style was mostly ancient buildings, but some were craftsmanship buildings, surpassing modern society.

For example, Baipo City’s most eye-catching glass building, which looked extremely fantastical and dazzling.

Walking inside Baipo City, Chu Hao sighed and said, "I didn’t expect Shanhai Realm to be like this. I thought you guys used bamboo sticks as toilet paper."

Ma Dazhang speechlessly said, "Boss, what era are you talking about? Even ancient Shanhai Realm wasn’t like what you said."

"Let’s eat, I’m starving."

The two walked into a restaurant, which was traditionally and beautifully decorated. Ma Dazhang, familiar with the place, said, "Boss, order the food."

They ordered a table full of dishes and started eating heartily.

In the restaurant, they indeed heard others discussing news about the Bamboo and Stone Forest.

"These days, Baipo City is really lively; many Yin-Yang Mages have come."

"Isn’t that right? They’re all heading to the Bamboo and Stone Forest. A maze formation has been discovered there. Passing through it can reach another world. I really want to go and see."

"Don’t go. I heard most people who go in end up missing. Some have been seen starving to death in the Bamboo and Stone Forest, the bodies of those Yin-Yang Mages rotting."

The food in Shanhai Realm was quite delicious, at least the meat and vegetables were very fresh.

After Chu Hao had his fill, he said, "Let’s go."

Ma Dazhang quickly said, "Boss, try not to leave the city at night; it’s very dangerous outside. Besides, to get to Jiuhua Sacred Land, we need to take an Ark. Going like this, not even a few lives would be enough."

Chu Hao asked, "Is it really that dangerous at night?"

Ma Dazhang nodded, "More than dangerous. It’s pretty good if one out of ten people who go out at night comes back. At night, Resentful Ghosts appear in large numbers, and if we’re unlucky and run into an Asura-level Evil Ghost, we’re definitely done for."

Chu Hao curiously asked, "Does the Netherworld Government in Shanhai Realm not manage it?"

Ma Dazhang said, "They can’t. Ever since the Ghost Emperor uprising years ago, leading a bunch of Evil Ghosts in a great battle with the Netherworld Government, almost toppling it, Shanhai Realm has become like this."

The Ghost Emperor uprising and the great battle with Shanhai Netherworld?

Are the ghosts in Shanhai Realm really that powerful?

There’s a Ghost Emperor in the Yanhuang World too, but compared to the ones here, the Ghost Emperor here is the real deal.

Ma Dazhang explained to Chu Hao, "Apart from the human cities, the outside world of Shanhai Realm is extremely dangerous. Without protection, today it might be a living city, the day after tomorrow it’s a Ghost City."

Chu Hao was surprised.

Although he had seen some of Chen Tianzhou’s memories, these details weren’t included.

Chu Hao took out a map to check the location of Jiuhua Sacred Land.

Zhang Han had already marked it. Going from Baipo City to Jiuhua Sacred Land was another hundred thousand kilometers away.

This is longer than Earth’s equator.

When can we arrive?

Ma Dazhang leaned over, pointed at the map, and said, "To get to Jiuhua Sacred Land, taking a Rune Ark will take a week. However, we don’t have enough Shanhai Currency. Depending on the route, we need to pass through three cities to take the Ark, which requires a total of 500,000 Shanhai Currency."

Shanhai Currency, the trade currency in Shanhai Realm.

Chu Hao took out a card and said, "Go withdraw the money."

This is Zhang Han’s card; he had already prepared the funds for going to Jiuhua Sacred Land.

Honestly, Shanhai Realm is convenient too; how could it not have banks, the kind of places that earn more the more you deposit?

If there weren’t, Chu Hao really planned to start his own bank.

Getting rich wouldn’t just be a dream.

Ma Dazhang went to buy the Ark ticket, while Chu Hao found a place to stay.

At night, there wasn’t the sense of danger Ma Dazhang mentioned; it was quite peaceful.

However, there were many soldiers patrolling outside. It seemed that as long as they didn’t leave Baipo City, they should be safe.
