Ghost Catching System

Exhibition.

People slowly opened their eyes, each gasping in surprise.

The knife-handling master was so frightened that he backed away; he had never encountered such a situation in all his years of stone cutting.

Lo and behold! The stone cracked open, revealing a small monster lying quietly within the stone itself like a baby.

The baby's body was covered in black web-like patterns, curled up like a fetus in a mother's womb.

Old Guo froze, saying, "Is it a Heavenly Ghost Infant?"

Another elderly gentleman exclaimed in horror, "No, it's a Ghost Demon Fetus. The black web-like patterns are ghost demon marks; I've seen them before."

Ghost Demon Fetus?

Even Chu Hao was shocked; he knew too well what a ghost demon was.

Creatures from the Rebirth Realm, enigmatic beings from the Dead Man's Cave.

A guard came into the exhibition hall, dripping with sweat, saying, "City Lord, a horde of fierce ghosts has surrounded the entire Luoxia City, countless in number."

The elderly man, who was actually the City Lord of Luoxia City, exclaimed, "What did you say?"

The crowd gasped.

"What's the situation now?" the old City Lord asked.

The guard shook his head, saying, "I don't know. They're staying outside and won't leave; there's no sign of movement yet."

The old City Lord left for the frontline.

"Fierce ghosts besieging a city; when was the last time this happened? Could they be preparing for war?"

"What should we do?"

Someone said, "Don't worry, Luoxia City's defensive capabilities are beyond your imagination."

Someone recognized the middle-aged man, saying, "Turns out it's General Long Fei; your words are enough."

General Long Fei was a commanding officer in Luoxia City.

General Long Fei glanced at the Ghost Demon Fetus, saying, "I'm afraid the fierce ghosts are here because of it."

Old Guo nodded, "Indeed, the Ghost Demon Fetus's appearance must have called them here. Although it seems this Ghost Demon Fetus is not fully formed yet, it's close."

The crowd was shocked.

The cutting revealed a creature so extraordinary that it attracted fierce ghosts to surround the entire city.

Chu Hao said, "So, I won, right!"

The crowd: "..."

Old Guo laughed heartily, "Definitely won. Its value is unimaginable."

An elder who specialized in stone identification said, "Historically, there have also been Ghost Demon Fetuses, and the auction price reached as high as seventy billion."

The crowd gasped.

Chu Hao bought the stone for one hundred ninety billion, and it has multiplied several times in value.

Chu Hao cleared his throat, saying, "Everyone, pardon me, I've won."

"Ding... Successfully Showoff and earned 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding... Successfully Showoff and earned 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

The crowd went silent.

Chu Hao walked over to Guo Xin and Shen Qian, asking, "How many haven't paid?"

Guo Xin replied, "There are thirteen."

Chu Hao waved his hand, "Call out their names, make them write IOUs, and press their fingerprints."

Damn.

Everyone cursed inwardly; some were downright envious as it was unimaginable how much Chu Hao made.

Chu Hao looked at Zhang Qiyu, "You there, pay up."

Zhang Qiyu looked grim, seeking help from Jiang Haoyue with pleading eyes.

Jiang Haoyue's face was dark like thunder; he couldn't believe Chu Hao won.

Ten billion!

That was ten billion.

Jiang Haotian's face was cold, saying, "Give it to him."

In truth, Jiang Haotian also felt pained; that ten billion was hard-earned from countless tasks, virtually everything he had.

Yet, in Chu Hao's eyes, that ten billion was trivial, a cruel blow.

The middle-aged man who bet seventy billion was extremely upset because he couldn't pay the remaining forty billion.

Chu Hao said, "No problem, write an IOU. You're Di Renqing, right."

The middle-aged man: "..."

Someone whispered, "Di Renqing? Isn't he the owner of a chain of hotels in the Holy City? I've heard he's also a shareholder of Sky Tower."

"Yes, that Di Renqing."

Di Renqing looked utterly grim and said coldly, "No need for an IOU, I'll give it to you once I return."

Chu Hao shook his head, "That won't do; who told you to gamble so much? Don't bet if you can't pay."

Damn!

Di Renqing wanted to curse; as a dignified chain store boss, a shareholder in Sky Tower, how could he lack funds?

Soon, Chu Hao received twelve IOUs and said, "Who else hasn't written?"

Guo Xin said helplessly, "That person seems to have run away."

Chu Hao's face darkened, "Damn! What's his name? Don't let me catch him."

"Kong Jie."

"Fine, remembered."

Chu Hao waved the IOUs, saying, "These are your IOUs, remember to repay."

Some sneered, yet felt helpless inside.

Chu Hao said, "All of you are wealthy folks, surely you won't default on such small amounts; if you truly don't pay, I won't insist."

Won't insist?

Everyone was taken aback.

"After all, I'm kind-hearted, helping the poor is the right thing to do."

A group of people felt their anger rise like bile.

Di Renqing, too, was frustrated.

Chu Hao now faced He Yunpeng and Du Mao.

He Yunpeng sighed; he was a man who could afford to lose, and if lost, he'd start anew.

He Yunpeng stated, "I own hotels, entertainment centers, pharmacies, the Stone Gambling House, totaling thirty-six properties worth five hundred billion. Junjie, come over and transfer them to the young friend."

Jiang Junjie stood pale.

Those were their entire assets.

Chu Hao said nothing, looking at Du Mao.

Du Mao turned green, coldly stating, "I'm not satisfied, let's bet again."

Chu Hao smiled, "Sure, pay first."

Darn it.

Du Mao said, "I'll pay you, but not right now."

Chu Hao's demeanor turned cold, "Then why bet? Write an IOU, press your fingerprint."

Du Mao, being older, was indeed frustrated; he, a grandmaster in the stone gambling world, writing IOUs?

Absolutely not.

Du Mao was enraged, his envy palpable; Chu Hao's win was immense, and from He Yunpeng and him alone, it was well over a thousand billion.

Still, grandmasters in stone gambling thought differently; money can always be earned.

Du Mao said, "I have thirty-five properties under my name, transferring them all to you, and request another round of betting."

"Alright, write an IOU; tomorrow I'll have someone take possession."

Du Mao grudgingly wrote the IOU, while He Yunpeng also did, pressing fingerprints.

Old Guo approached, saying, "Young friend, are you planning to auction the Ghost Demon Fetus?"

Just then, a voice rang out; Chu Yuan said, "Don't sell it; it can enhance my power."

Chu Hao shook his head, "Old Guo, let's discuss later. There's someone else who wants to bet with me."

Old Guo nodded, "Alright."

The Ghost Demon Fetus had immense allure; everyone was intrigued, eager for the next bet.

Chu Hao looked at Du Mao, asking, "Do you still have money to bet?"

Du Mao sneered, "I have twenty properties left; the stone cut earlier alone is worth four billion. I'll bet them."

The crowd gasped.

Playing at such high stakes.
