Ghost Catching System

Seeing how confident he was, they all thought there was no way Chu Hao could draw a prize.

Chu Hao nodded and said, "I’ll remember you. Don’t run later."

But Chu Hao still couldn’t help reminding him, "Sorry, but the biggest prizes here are all mine."

As he spoke, Chu Hao reached into the box to draw a card.

The Blue-robed Student sneered, "See that, Guoguo? That’s his true face. He’s fooling you. Says he’s taking all the grand prizes—why doesn’t he just ascend to heaven while he’s at it?"

Zhang Guoguo said excitedly, "Go for it, Expert Brother! He’s not getting away."

The Blue-robed Student’s face went black on the spot.

Ten-thousand-fold fortune—how terrifying was that?

Chu Hao was really looking forward to it.

He drew, and pulled out a card.

The beautiful hostess glanced at it and exclaimed, "Third prize."

"Congratulations, you’ve drawn the third prize. You can pick any stone material worth sixty million."

A lot of people cried out in surprise—he actually hit a prize.

Zhang Guoyu’s group were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Guoguo jumped up excitedly and said, "Expert Brother is mighty and domineering. Mu Yun bro, what was it you just said?"

Mu Yun, the Blue-robed Student, had a face the color of pig liver. What the hell kind of luck was this? He really won, and it was even third prize.

Chu Hao turned his head and said, "Whoever it was just now talking about pulling shit while doing a handstand, please begin your performance."

The people around couldn’t hold back their laughter. They’d all heard what Mu Yun said just now, even the hostess on stage couldn’t help letting out a snort of laughter.

"Bro, give us a show, yeah."

"Handstand shitting, I’ve never seen that before. Impressive kid."

"Tsk tsk... kids these days, they’re insane when they make bets, huh?"

Of course, something like doing that while handstanding, you’d have to kill Mu Yun before he’d do it. But Chu Hao had no plans to let him off and said, "Believe it or not, I can still pull another prize. You don’t have to handstand shit this time. How about eating a fly?"

This time Mu Yun refused to believe to the death that Chu Hao could still hit another prize. He said, "Eat then eat. If you don’t draw a prize, you’re eating a fly too. Don’t even think about running."

"Heh, I’m not running."

Chu Hao took out the forty-million stone receipt. The hostess smiled and said, "The receipt checks out, you can draw."

Chu Hao casually pulled out another card. With ten-thousand-fold fortune, he didn’t need any tricks at all.

The hostess took one look, her big eyes widening as she said, "Second prize."

The entire hall erupted.

He hit again, and this time it was second prize?

"Holy shit! What kind of luck is this? Back-to-back big prizes."

"So badass, that’s a hundred and sixty million in the bag."

Chu Hao turned and looked at Mu Yun, whose face had completely changed color, and said, "Bro, please begin your performance."

"Ding... Host has stunned everyone with his pretentious act. Gained 60,000 Showoff Points."

Zhang Guoyu and the other Blue-robed Students all looked at Mu Yun with sympathy.

Mu Yun stammered and forced a smile. "Where are there even flies in here? If you can find one, I’ll eat it."

Indeed, not even a single fly could get into the Stone Gambling House in District Three—there was a barrier outside.

A scruffy old man stepped forward and said, "Oh, there is! This old man just happens to raise Housefly Gu." He stretched out his palm, and three dead flies appeared there.

Fuck!!

The crowd all burst out laughing.

"Young man, a bet’s a bet. Don’t waste this old man’s essence." The old man grinned lewdly.

Fucking hell.

Someone started heckling, "A Blue-Robed Student from the mighty Jiuhua Glory Holy Land can’t afford to lose?"

With so many people watching, Mu Yun couldn’t hold his face anymore. He closed his eyes, tossed them into his mouth in one bite, then immediately squatted down and jammed his fingers down his throat.

Chu Hao shuddered, not bothering to look anymore.

However, before drawing again, he looked at Mu Yun and said, "Bro, you still wanna bet? This time we won’t eat flies, we’ll eat..."

Mu Yun’s face went deathly pale. He’d just barely started to feel better, but the moment he heard Chu Hao say the word "fly," he squatted right back down and dry-heaved.

Chu Hao shrugged and looked at Zhang Guoyu and the others, saying, "I’ve still got one more draw left. Anyone wanna bet?"

Zhang Guoyu’s group didn’t dare meet his eyes.

Hands clasped behind his back, Chu Hao sighed, "Luck is a kind of loneliness too."

"Ding... Host has successfully shown off. Gained 60,000 Showoff Points."

Then he drew again, didn’t even bother to look, and directly tossed the card to the hostess. "I’m going to pick stones."

The crowd nervously asked, "Did he win?"

"No way he did. If he wins again, that’d be defying heaven."

The hostess exclaimed, "F-f-first prize?"

The whole place fell silent.

Zhang Guoguo jumped up in excitement and ran after Chu Hao, saying, "Expert Brother, wait for me!"

Zhang Guoyu and the Blue-robed Students had no idea what to even say anymore. What kind of luck was this?

One Blue-robed Student said in aftertaste, "Luck is a kind of loneliness too. When will I ever be that flashy?"

Everyone in the hall was speechless, thinking back to Chu Hao’s line about how he was taking all the big prizes.

So you really took them all, huh. What the hell are the rest of us supposed to draw?

Chu Hao walked a circuit and picked three pieces of stone material, totaling six hundred and eighty million.

He even added his own money on top of the first-prize quota and bought stone worth five hundred and twenty million.

The fortune on this piece of stone was the hottest among all stones under five hundred million, and he’d checked it several times to be sure.

"Ojbk," Chu Hao said confidently.

Seeing Chu Hao purchase this piece of stone worth five hundred and twenty million, the crowd burst into exclamations. The old guys who’d been hanging around the Stone Gambling House for years were more excited than anyone.

"Good eye, young man. This old man’s had his eye on that stone for a long time."

"Yeah right, you’ve been saying this stone was no good all along."

"What do you know, kid! I’ve long wanted to see what’s inside this thing."

Zhang Guoyu and the others were drawn in too, forgetting to pick their own stones for the moment.

Pick what, exactly?

What thrill is there in a million when there’s stuff in the hundreds of millions?

"Five hundred million?" Zhang Guoyu’s mouth twitched.

Zhang Guoguo said excitedly, "My Expert Brother is just awesome. This is what you call stone gambling. Bro, what the hell were you even doing before?"

Zhang Guoyu clutched his chest, his face going black and white.

A Blue-robed Student cried out, "If that five-hundred-million stone doesn’t cut out a Yin Yang Stone, he’s down five hundred million. His guts are huge."

Zhang Guoguo said, "Now that’s what you call guts. Unlike you guys, picking some stone worth a few dozen million and dithering over it for half the day."

The Blue-robed Students all felt a pain in their chests. This was too much of a blow. Come on, we’re your bros too.

They headed over to the stone-cutting master, a huge crowd of onlookers trailing behind Chu Hao.

Including the earlier one hundred and thirty million worth of stone, Chu Hao’s total stone value now exceeded eight hundred million.

The crowd felt dizzy. This young man was playing way too big.

The old-timers who’d lived in the Stone Gambling House for years were thrilled. "This kid’s got guts. Reminds me of myself back in the day."

"Back in the day you were broke as hell, and you still dare say that."

"At least when I was at my poorest, I dared to blow my last ten thousand on a trip to the brothel. You dare?"

"You badass!"

Chu Hao said, "Cut it."

The stone-cutting master nodded. He was fast, and with the very first cut, the stone’s interior showed.

"It’s up! It’s up!"

"Holy shit, it went up on the first cut. This young man really knows his stuff."

"Don’t push, what kind of stone is it?"

The place was packed so tight it was like a sardine can. Even Chu Hao was a bit speechless at how curious these old guys were.

Someone cried out, "Top-grade Water Source Seed."
