Ghost Catching System

A car pulled up. Chu Hao saw that the car was super imposing and luxurious, and the interior was even more extravagant. That leather seat, once you sat on it, was pure enjoyment.

This was his first time riding a car in the Shanhai Realm.

The car was full of a tech vibe.

Chu Hao couldn’t help asking, "What’s the principle behind this car?"

Pan Chen felt that Chu Hao was someone he could rope in. Longteng Gambling Stone Workshop couldn’t let him back in anymore, but they could totally send him to wreck the rival stone gambling houses, right?

Thinking of that, Pan Chen practically saw the competitors’ bitter-as-hell faces, and his mood improved a lot. He said, "The principle behind this car is rune energy. It can run a hundred thousand kilometers non-stop."

No refueling, and it can run that many kilometers in one go?

That’s seriously badass and off-the-charts.

Chu Hao said, "Not bad, how much?"

Pan Chen said proudly, "Five hundred million."

Chu Hao stroked his chin and said, "Not expensive."

Pan Chen: "..."

Can we still have a proper conversation? In your eyes it’s indeed not expensive; in my eyes, this is a car I’d need five years of salary to afford.

"Expert Brother, Expert Brother."

Chu Hao turned his head and saw Zhang Guoguo, along with a few Blue-robed Students.

Zhang Guoguo said excitedly, "Expert Brother, are you heading back? I’ll go with you, it’s so far from here to the Sacred Land."

Zhang Guoyu’s mouth twitched. Just like that you abandon your brother, huh?

As for the others, their view of Chu Hao had completely changed. Their eyes were full of worship. They were all stone-gambling fanatics. When they met a gambling god of this level, they’d love nothing more than to learn a couple of tricks.

A Blue-robed Student said, "God, can I go with you?"

Zhang Guoyu turned his head and glared at that Blue-robed Student, thinking, if anyone’s going, it should be me, right? My little sister is in that car too.

Mu Yun also said, "God, me too."

This guy who’d just swallowed a fly—earlier he’d still held a grudge against Chu Hao, but now that was completely gone. Only "worship" could describe it.

Chu Hao laughed and said, "We’re all going to the same place, let’s go together."

A bunch of Blue-robed Students suddenly felt that Chu Hao was actually easy to get along with. Plus he wasn’t that old, so what happened before was just a misunderstanding.

Pan Chen said, "I’ll go call a car."

He sent everyone to the main gate of Jiuhua Glory Holy Land. After seeing Chu Hao off, Pan Chen headed back. Naturally, along the way there was no lack of polite chatter with Chu Hao.

In his eyes, a gambling god of this level could be pushed out to go wreak havoc on others.

Just thinking about it felt awesome—no way was he going to be the one who kept getting screwed.

"Expert Brother, see you tomorrow," Zhang Guoguo said.

"Uh, see you."

Chu Hao waved his hand, turned around, and left. Zhang Guoguo said worshipfully, "So cool, even his back view is that handsome."

Zhang Guoyu’s mouth twitched. "That’s enough out of you."

Zhang Guoguo stuck out her tongue.

Mu Yun said, "Guoguo, which branch academy is this god from? He’s this OP, how come I’ve never heard of him?"

Zhang Guoguo chuckled, "I bet you’d never guess. The god isn’t a student, he’s staff."

Zhang Guoyu exclaimed, "No way!"

The others were completely dumbfounded. Are you screwing with us? He’s actually just staff?

Zhang Guoguo said, "Yep, the god is just staff. As for why, I don’t know either. I only met him today."

So that’s how it is.

But for Chu Hao to only be staff—that was kind of weird.

...

Chu Hao went back to his tiny apartment. He took out that bottle of milky-white liquid he’d collected and asked, "System, what’s this?"

System: "Please pay ten thousand Pretentiousness Points for appraisal, Host."

Chu Hao swore, "Damn, since when did you get this stingy? This needs Pretentiousness Points too?"

System: "You broke-ass scrub. If you don’t appraise, then shut up."

Chu Hao’s face darkened. "Appraise it."

"Ding... Host has paid ten thousand Pretentiousness Points to appraise this item."

Chu Hao looked at the bottle of milky-white liquid again, and instantly knew what it was.

Item: Innate Marrow

Effect: Can nurture the growth of Innate Ancient Species, a blessing from the laws of nature.

Note: Useless to the Host. It has tremendous effect for nurturing infant bodies. After all, the Host has already long passed the breastfeeding age.

Chu Hao understood. No wonder it was worth so much—it was actually Innate Marrow used to nurture Innate Ancient Species.

What are Innate Ancient Species?

Their existence is just like Stone Spirits. They’re born innately from nature, not birthed by any creature, and their background is ridiculously profound.

Too bad that little white snake was already dead. It was definitely an Innate Ancient Species.

Chu Hao sighed, "How the hell did this stuff end up inside stone material?"

Since it was useless to him, Chu Hao directly redeemed it. One drop was fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points; the Innate Marrow in this bottle was definitely more than a hundred drops.

"Ding... Host has redeemed Innate Marrow, gaining five million eight hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points."

Getting five million eight hundred thousand in one go, Chu Hao was so excited he almost jumped. This was his biggest gain today.

Chu Hao said happily, "Looks like I should hit stone gambling more often."

Pretentious Little Prince: Chu Hao

Strength: Yin and Yang Land Master (Complete Realm)

Level: 6

Experience Points: 310 million / 700 million

Pretentiousness Points: 7.6 million Pretentiousness Points

Merit Points: 0

Treasure Chest: Fei Diamond-grade Treasure Chest*1

Titles: Angry Little Prince, King of Funeral Love, Slaughter Madman, Proper Pretentiousness Leads to Daily Improvement, Saint Heavenly Master.

With this many Pretentiousness Points, he definitely had to upgrade his strength first. He felt that the Yin Yang Curse Body should be the priority.

So he said generously, "System, upgrade the Yin Yang Curse Body to Great Achievement stage."

System reminder: "Given the Host’s upgrade path, System recommends Host to upgrade the Dark Gold Curse Body."

Chu Hao thought it over and felt that made some sense. The Dark Gold Curse Body was insanely overpowered too. Don’t forget, even after being smashed to pieces by the Ghost Ancestor, he was still alive.

Shanhai Realm’s jianghu is dangerous—what if one day he gets blown to bits again?

Would he have to wait another seven years to recover?

Chu Hao sighed, "System, you really know how to look out for daddy."

System: "Daddy never skimps on his son."

Already used to the System’s clapbacks, Chu Hao said, "Then upgrade the Dark Gold Curse Body."

System reminder: "For Host to upgrade the Dark Gold Curse Body, a total payment of 3.8 million Pretentiousness Points is required."

"Pay it."

"Ding... Host has paid 3.8 million Pretentiousness Points; remaining Pretentiousness Points: 3.8 million."

Chu Hao noticed that in the shop the System had helped him buy a huge pile of ore items, and he saw some items that actually had ’Yin Yang Stone’ in their names?

"Wait, are those Yin-yang Stone Seeds?" Chu Hao said, stunned.

System: "Yes."

Top-grade Yin Yang Healing Stone, superior Yin Yang Dark Gold Stone, top-grade Yin Yang Diamond Steel Stone...

Over thirty kinds of Yin Yang Stone, plus some rare ores.

Chu Hao completely freaked out. "Motherf—, upgrading the Dark Gold Curse Body to Intermediate stage needs Yin Yang Stones to boost it, and you didn’t say so earlier?"

If it’s a problem that can be solved with money, he would absolutely never spend a single Pretentiousness Point—upgrading the Qiankun Curse Body was like that, and he still fell for the System’s套路.

Only after going to gamble stones did he realize there were tons of Yin Yang Stones. Even if he couldn’t cut them out, he could buy them, right?

With Wealth God’s Copper Coins, would daddy ever be short on cash?

Pit daddy again.
