Ghost Catching System

"Cut, keep cutting."

"Wow! So exciting, what did it cut into, there’s actually a ghostly wail."

Chu Hao was also startled, but seeing the group of old men, each with gleaming eyes, as excited as if they had eaten Viagra, he was speechless too.

At this time, if a fierce ghost was cut out, it probably wouldn’t scare them either.

The master cutter took a deep breath and continued cutting.

"Ah!"

Another scream, an ear-piercing pain, the cutter was gasping for air.

As they looked, the cut stone skin actually had bloodstains, as if they had cut into someone’s head.

"Cut, keep cutting," said Old Man Liu excitedly, at this moment he looked quite abnormal.

The cutter gritted his teeth and made another cut, a large piece of the surface stone skin fell off.

Finally, everyone saw inside was a blood-red stone seed, exuding an eerie aura.

More strangely, this stone was bleeding, as if a piece of scalp had been sliced off a person’s head?

A Blue-Robed student said in a trembling voice, "Could it be a Heavenly Ghost that’s been cut?"

The Heavenly Ghost, with too significant a background, if it were to escape, it would bring disaster.

Old Guo said, "It’s not any Heavenly Ghost, this stone seed, I’ve seen it somewhere."

As he spoke, Old Guo took out an ancient book to search, finally finding something and said excitedly, "My god! This is a Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed."

Everyone gasped, it was indeed a Heavenly Ghost that was cut, though not fully formed.

Even if not fully formed, its value was immeasurable.

What is a Heavenly Ghost?

A naturally formed fierce ghost, usually appearing in the Dead Man’s Cave or mass graves, formed from massive resentment over countless years, hundreds of millions, or tens of thousands of years, it’s called a Heavenly Ghost.

In the history of the Shanhai Realm, there are traces of fully-formed Heavenly Ghosts, formless and deadly, they wiped out many kingdoms in ancient times, even destroyed a Sacred Land.

So, this blood-red stone seed is the embryo of a Heavenly Ghost.

It’s okay if it doesn’t form, but once it becomes a Heavenly Ghost, it will bring devastation.

However, this Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed hasn’t formed yet, its value is already superb, if it falls into the hands of the Ghost Refining Yin-Yang Cultivators Sect, it can refine extremely terrifying fierce ghosts.

Old Guo swallowed and said, "Young friend, I dare estimate the price of this Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed at least a billion."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Chu Hao frowned and said, "Why only a billion, this is a Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed, if well-nurtured in the future, it can grow into a Heavenly Ghost."

Old Guo shook his head and said, "You’re thinking too much, it’s just an embryo, how difficult is it to form? Even the Ghost Refining Sect wouldn’t dare claim to nurture a Heavenly Ghost without tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years."

"Not to mention, there’s no time, no resources."

Chu Hao understood, this thing was highly valuable but had the flaw of being unable to be nurtured.

Finally, a complete Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed was cut out, resembling a human head in size, vividly lifelike.

Chu Hao asked, "System, can you nurture a Heavenly Ghost?"

System: "This system can do anything, recommending the host to purchase Heavenly River Yin Yang Water, costing 3 million Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao’s mouth twitched, that’s too expensive.

However, nurturing is not impossible. If a Heavenly Ghost can truly be nurtured, it would indeed be magnificent.

Old Guo asked, "Young friend, this Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed can be auctioned at my auction house, its value may exceed a billion."

Chu Hao said, "Hmm, I’ll consider it."

He decided to keep it, considering that he didn’t have enough money, he needed to continue.

Pan Chen saw Chu Hao was going to continue, he was almost fainting and quickly said, "Young friend, young friend, let’s talk."

An old man stopped him and said, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, it’s rare to catch a gambling god today, how can I let you stop? Your Longteng Gambling Stone Workshop usually wins a lot from us, can’t you play now?"

"Right, if you don’t dare to gamble then don’t open a Stone Gambling House, go home to raise kids and feed them instead."

Pan Chen dared not speak any further, the old man’s words were right, if you don’t dare to gamble, don’t open a Stone Gambling House.

Chu Hao picked a lot more stones, spending about a billion.

With cut after cut, Chu Hao earned back around 2 billion, nearly recouping the money for the Heavenly Ghost Stone Seed.

Pan Chen almost fainted.

A group of old men admired Chu Hao deeply, he was truly extraordinary.

An old man asked, "Young friend, are you married?"

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"I’m the Deputy Head of the Star Moon Faction, young friend, do you have time to visit later?" said the old man.

An old man laughed and cursed, "Old Ghost Qi, what are you up to, trying to recruit already? Are we invisible? Young friend, why not visit me, I have a granddaughter about your age."

The Deputy Leader of the Star Moon Faction retorted, "Old Ghost Qi, you’re the same."

Not recruiting Chu Hao, the gambling god, would be a disservice to themselves, he’s a money-making machine.

Bring him back, wouldn’t they worship him?

Chu Hao coughed dryly and asked, "Is she pretty?"

Old Ghost Qi squinted his eyes into wrinkles, smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Of course she’s pretty, given she’s inherited my blood, a true national beauty."

Someone secretly cursed in their heart, "Why don’t I have a granddaughter, only an unlucky grandson."

"Heck! Too bad my granddaughter is married, would you consider a second marriage, young friend?"

Chu Hao quickly shook his head.

If their descendants heard this, they’d spit blood?

These days girls are more valuable than boys.

Old Guo waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t listen to them, young friend, are you continuing to play? I can recommend a few stones to you."

Pan Chen finally squeezed his way in, drenched in sweat, "Young friend, I have something to say."

Instead, he was directly bumped away by an old man, Pan Chen wept.

"Please, give me a moment to speak."

"Hmm, continue," Chu Hao said.

"Ding...from Pan Chen’s despair, the host succeeded in showing off, earning 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Time to select stones again.

Though the thousand-fold fortune was gone, even a hundred-fold fortune was still impressive.

An hour later.

"It rose again, my judgment was right, young friend has great eyes, haha..."

Slicing open and seeing the stone seed, an old man was more excited than when he found a stone seed himself.

"Young friend, come take a look, this stone I’ve observed it for a long time and never dared to buy it."

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "This piece won’t do."

Someone laughed beside him, "I told you it wouldn’t work, but you insisted on studying it, young friend take a look at mine."

From afar, an old man was running over holding a large stone, with staff nervously following behind, fearing this patron would leave the Stone Gambling House with it.

The old man turned back in dissatisfaction, "I’m not stealing, why are you chasing me?"

Staff didn’t dare speak, this patron wasn’t simple either.

The old man put down the stone, pulling Chu Hao’s hand and said, "Young friend, take a look at this one?"
