Ghost Catching System

It turned out the demon realized this madman didn't care at all about how strong it was, because he was already countless times stronger than it.

"DING... Host shocks with pretentiousness, gains 80 Pretentiousness Points."

"DING... Host shocks with pretentiousness, gains 80 Experience Points."

"Ah! No!!"

A bolt of Jiuxuan Leisha struck down. The Yin-Yang Ghost Demon was indeed powerful, but the Jiuxuan Leisha was even more terrifying. After being struck several times, it screamed from its throat and was directly reduced to ashes.

"DING... Host has killed a Yin-Yang Ghost Demon, gaining one million Experience Points."

"DING... The Yin-Yang Ghost Demon dropped a Yin Yang Ring. It has been added to the inventory."

"DING... Host's level has increased to Level 5."

"DING... Host has leveled up two levels, gaining a Silver Treasure Box."

「An abandoned factory.」

Fang Jingxue and Guihu were dumbfounded. They heard thunder—a terrifying sound unlike anything they had ever experienced. But the strangest thing was, they couldn't see where the thunder was coming from.

Finally, the Nine Profound Thunder Evil Array disappeared, and everything returned to calm. The back hill seemed as if nothing had happened at all, as if it had all been a dream.

「Seventh District.」

The Seventh District was in an uproar. The testing equipment had suddenly skyrocketed to one hundred percent. Everyone's faces were as pale as paper, as if they had witnessed Anli City being slaughtered by ghost demons.

However, the off-the-charts instruments soon came down, returning to a state of zero.

"What... what is going on?" Feng Ju and Old Yuan were completely dumbfounded.

Xu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Could it be broken?"

Broken! This was cutting-edge technology acquired at a high price. Feng Ju's face darkened as he immediately phoned the manufacturer, cursing them out.

"Damn it, what kind of cutting-edge crap did you make? Get over here and fix it right away!"

The manufacturer: "..."

「Back hill.」

Chu Hao's mood had calmed down considerably as he opened his attribute interface.

Host: Chu Hao

Apprentice Ghost Hunter: Level 5 (Max out at Level 9 to change class)

Experience Points: 350,000/800,000

Pretentiousness Points: 580

Mana Points: 500

In addition to the level increase, he also gained one hundred and sixty Pretentiousness Points.

Besides, there was a lot of stuff in the inventory: two hundred and five items from Xiao Gui, and forty-seven items dropped by Evil Ghosts.

Most of them were common items for warding off evil spirits, and a few were for exorcism.

Additionally, there was the ring dropped by the Yin-Yang Ghost Demon.

Yin Yang Ring: Grants the wearer Yin Yang Eyes upon designation, enabling them to see ghosts. Skill Two: The wearer can specify ghosts and Evil Spirits, who will then be unable to see the wearer.

What a great item! Chu Hao immediately put it on.

And there was a Silver Treasure Box.

"Open."

"DING... Host has obtained a Healing Skill Book."

Healing Skill Book: Designates the right hand with healing ability. Can heal 100% of scars and 100% of injuries. Unable to heal internal injuries. Requires Mana Points.

Holy crap!!

What a stroke of luck! He had seen the Healing Skill Book in the System's shop before—it cost five hundred Pretentiousness Points and was a divine healing artifact.

"Learn."

"DING... Host has learned the healing skill. It has been incorporated into the right hand. Gained two hundred Mana Points."

Now, he had seven hundred Mana Points.

A faint glow appeared on his right hand.

Wherever it hurts, I'll just touch it there. TSK TSK... This is a golden right hand! Awesome!

Chu Hao was especially happy. He returned to Zhong Minyue's side, picked her up, and carried her out.

...

When Zhong Minyue woke up, she was lying in a hospital bed, the sharp smell of medicine stinging her nose.

The delicate and exquisitely featured Yun'er burst into tears, utterly heartbroken. "Master," she sobbed, "it's so good you're alright! I was afraid I'd never see you again!"

Zhong Minyue said bitterly, "Yun'er, are you okay?"

"Master, I'm fine. Yun'er is doing very well."

Zhong Minyue said, "I was careless. Right! Who saved me?"

Yun'er wiped away her tears and answered, "It was Brother Chu Hao. He found you on the back hill. If it weren't for him, Master, you... you..."

Chu Hao's figure surfaced in her mind. The young man had been staring at her chest... That, combined with her injuries, had made her so angry and embarrassed that she fainted.

Zhong Minyue said, "Then we must thank him properly."

At that moment, a young nurse walked in. "Awake? Go pay the medical bill."

Yun'er asked, "My master is okay now, right?"

The young nurse nodded. "She's fine now," she repeated, "Go pay the medical bill."

Zhong Minyue was stunned. "Yun'er," she said bitterly, "it seems my card is gone."

Yun'er was also startled. "Then... what do we do?"

How could this be allowed? the young nurse thought upon hearing this. Coming to the hospital without money is like dining and dashing! Whether older or younger, both of them are stunningly beautiful. This thought only fueled her jealousy as she folded her arms, coldly eyeing the master and disciple.

"Are you going to pay the medical bill or not?"

Zhong Minyue said, "Benefactor, I've lost my card. I'll need some time for a friend to send money over."

The young nurse urged, "Well, hurry up then."

Zhong Minyue took out her pouch and searched for a while, then her expression changed slightly. "Yun'er," she asked, "where is the piece of paper that I kept in the pouch?" Yоur suppоrt аt МV^LЕМР^YR kееps thе sеriеs gоing.

"Master, Yun'er didn't see any piece of paper," replied Yun'er.

Zhong Minyue said bitterly, "SIGH... Knowing my memory, I probably left it at the Taoist Temple. It had phone numbers on it."

The nurse's frown deepened. "Do you two have any money at all? If not, I'm calling security."

Zhong Minyue hurriedly said, "Benefactor, it might take some time, but a friend will find me."

"How long!"

Zhong Minyue wasn't sure. She quickly calculated on her fingers and said, "One month! ...No, three months."

The young nurse was fuming. "I bet you two just don't have any money and are trying to get free treatment and lodging, aren't you?" she snapped.

An indignant Yun'er exclaimed, "We're not out of money; our card was just lost!"

"HUMPH! Coming to the hospital without money, as if you own the place! Find someone to pay up now, or don't even think about leaving," the nurse snapped, glaring.

Yun'er was seething, her small face flushed with anger.

Even Zhong Minyue's face turned sour. She had seldom descended the mountain and had only vague childhood memories of the outside world. Now, faced with such a situation, she was at a loss about what to do.

"What's going on?"

A male doctor in a white lab coat appeared. He was ordinary-looking and wore glasses. Seeing Zhong Minyue and Yun'er's beauty, he was instantly dazzled.

In his expert opinion, if these two just changed their clothes, they'd be absolute knockouts.

"Doctor Lu, these two can't pay their medical bill, and they're trying to mooch off the hospital!" the young nurse complained. Seeing Doctor Lu's eyes light up at the sight of them, while he hadn't even given her a proper glance, made her incredibly resentful.

An irritated Yun'er said, "Why are you like this? We haven't mooched anything; we just lost our card."

Doctor Lu smiled. "I understand. You can step out now."

The young nurse glared at the two of them before leaving the room.

Doctor Lu smiled. "Are the two of you Taoist nuns?"

Zhong Minyue nodded. "Benefactor, we temporarily lack funds. Is there any way we can make arrangements?"

Doctor Lu looked conflicted. "It's a bit difficult," he said, "but not entirely without options."

Zhong Minyue said, "Benefactor, please speak freely."
