Ghost Catching System

In an instant, the colossal divine soldier’s massive hand was enveloped by a dense engravement of ghost curses, rendering it immobile.

Chu Hao was somewhat surprised and said, "Yin-Yang Ghost Curse."

The split-mouthed corpse monster broke free from the colossal divine soldier and turned to flee.

Chu Hao’s Qiankun Blood Qi exploded, evaporating the ghost curses. With a flick of his hand, several endless swords shot out.

Shili Sword.

"Pfft."

The power of the Shili Sword far surpassed that of an ordinary sword, piercing through the split-mouthed corpse monster’s legs, sending it rolling to the ground.

Chu Hao strode over.

The split-mouthed corpse monster exclaimed in fear, "You, are you a Yin-Yang Grand Master?"

Chu Hao replied, "I am not."

The split-mouthed corpse monster shouted, "Impossible, I’m not even afraid of a Yin Yang Geomage Mastery Realm!"

Chu Hao said calmly, "Does it matter now?"

Despair filled the split-mouthed corpse monster as Chu Hao placed a large hand on it, activating the Devouring Curse Mark, instantly draining its power.

"Ding... Host designates to enhance the Dark Gold Curse Body, improvement of 1%."

After using the Devouring Curse Mark, experience points and drop rates were non-existent.

With a swing of his sword, the head of the split-mouthed corpse monster was severed. Chu Hao, carrying the head, soared into the sky and vanished.

Zhang Guoguo only then poked her head out, her face full of disbelief and shock.

"Awooo!" In the darkness, the low growl of corpse monsters echoed, and Zhang Guoguo turned to flee in terror, not daring to linger.

At night, the Holy City wasn’t very safe.

At the Merit Hall, Chu Hao appeared with the head of the split-mouthed corpse monster. He had already found out that the Merit Hall operated day and night.

The receptionist was still the same one. "Bang!" A head was dropped on the reception counter, scaring the female receptionist into a scream. She looked closely, and it turned out to be the head of the split-mouthed corpse monster.

Especially after seeing Chu Hao, she was utterly dumbfounded.

"Ah! Is it you?"

Chu Hao said, "Yes, I’m here to complete the task."

The receptionist, still in shock, said, "Oh!"

"Oh, my head, oh! Didn’t you just leave two hours ago? How did you come back so quickly?" The receptionist reacted very strongly.

Chu Hao replied calmly, "That was fast? It was already quite slow. The Panlong District was packed with corpse monsters, attracting some trash, which wasted a lot of time."

"Ding... Infinite pretentiousness is most lethal, gaining 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

The receptionist’s mouth hung wide open. Delayed quite some time? Are you kidding me?

This task completion speed is insanely fast.

The receptionist was too shocked to speak while Chu Hao smiled knowingly. Sometimes one doesn’t need grand gestures to show off.

Infinite pretentiousness is most lethal.

Chu Hao said, "Can you give me the credits now? I’m in a rush and still need to take on another task."

"Oh, oh." The receptionist dared not slack off, though she had doubts. After all, Chu Hao had indeed brought back the head of the split-mouthed corpse monster.

The receptionist asked, "What other task are you going to take?"

Chu Hao picked a notice from the board, saying, "This one."

Another 0.5 credit task, it required eliminating a fierce ghost in an old mansion. If one’s power is sufficient, task completion is quick; otherwise, it’s dangerous and might cost a life.

The receptionist said, "After you eliminate the fierce ghost, we’ll need to send someone to verify and investigate before granting you the credits."

Chu Hao took the task slip, saying, "No need to bother."

With that, Chu Hao left.

The receptionist stood puzzled, what does no need to bother mean?

Half a shichen later, the receptionist sat idly at the counter. It was night now, and there were few people at the Merit Hall.

Then she saw Chu Hao return, with a strange expression, she asked, "Why are you back again?"

Chu Hao said, "Complete the task."

"Ah!" The receptionist was stunned again.

Getting a bit angry, the receptionist said, "Don’t lie. If we send someone to check and find the task incomplete, you’ll lose credits."

Chu Hao said, "I know, that’s why I brought it here."

Brought... brought it here?

What does that mean?

Chu Hao waved his hand, a towering evil ghost appeared, full of resentment, turning into blackness, a king-level evil ghost.

However, this evil ghost was curling up on the ground, trembling like a frightened young bride, looking at Chu Hao in terror.

"Boohoo... I won’t dare kill again, I beg you to spare me." The evil ghost sobbed.

Chu Hao said to the stunned receptionist, "Look, is this the one?"

"Ding... Host’s infinite pretentiousness is most lethal, gaining 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Holy crap!" The receptionist couldn’t help but curse.

How is that possible?

What kind of monster is he to complete the task so quickly? He even feared the task handover would take too long and brought the fierce ghost target back?

Chu Hao took out his student work card, saying, "Add the credits."

The receptionist, in disbelief, added the credits for Chu Hao.

Then, Chu Hao turned around, and with the Devouring Curse Mark, absorbed its power and then killed it with a palm strike.

"Ding... Host uses the Devouring Curse Mark, designating to enhance Dark Gold Curse Body, an improvement of 0.5%."

Picked up another task, Chu Hao left.

The receptionist, coming back to her senses, couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Am I dreaming? This has never happened before, and he’s just a student worker."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Until the morning, when it was time for a shift change, another receptionist arrived and said with a smile, "Little Zhen, I’m here to relieve you. Oh! What’s up with your eyes?"

The receptionist Little Zhen, seeing her savior, said, "You finally came. I’m exhausted. I need to go back to sleep."

Busy?

What could there be to do so late at night?

Some people do come to complete tasks at night, usually just one or two, and on busy nights, five or six.

Besides, the Merit Hall has quite a few receptionists.

Little Zhen was utterly exhausted, having been busy all night. After the shift change, she immediately went to sleep.

...

At the same time.

Chu Hao arrived for the shift change, and Jiu Yue yawned, saying, "You’re here, I’ll get going then."

Chu Hao couldn’t help but ask, "Senior, why do you only take night shifts?"

Jiu Yue blinked and said, "Night shifts are quite leisurely, leaving plenty of time to play on the Shanhai Platform. Why not take night shifts?"

Chu Hao was speechless. He could tell that Jiu Yue was actually quite good-looking, just didn’t care much for grooming, giving off a rather untidy vibe.

Chu Hao asked, "What’s the Shanhai Platform?"

Jiu Yue was stunned, asking, "You don’t know?"

Chu Hao shook his head.

Jiu Yue as well was speechless, peculiarly saying, "Are you from the Shanhai Realm? How can you not know about the Shanhai Platform? You can make time to go to the Holy City to purchase a platform account."

As she spoke, Jiu Yue took out a stone talisman, saying, "This is a Platform Stone Talisman. Be careful not to get scammed, there are many fake stone talismans nowadays, and platform accounts aren’t cheap."

Chu Hao was intrigued, wondering what this thing really was.

So that was why Jiu Yue took night shifts, she spent the whole night playing on the Shanhai Platform.

After swapping shifts, Jiu Yue left, and Chu Hao leisurely sat on the chair, slightly closing his eyes.
