Ghost Catching System-Chapter 443 - 442: Is It Too Late for Regrets Now?_1
She couldn’t accept it in her heart. The competition was only about personal strength, and they hadn’t used Mystical Arts yet. But since she’d already spoken, it wasn’t good for her to regret it now.
The others were also extremely excited. Chu Hao had just joined the Seventh District! Indeed, he had the strength to do so and might even rank higher.
"Welcome, welcome."
Zhao Gousheng was all smiles. The old man had racked his brain to get Chu Hao to join the Seventh District, and now was the perfect opportunity.
Becoming an S-Level Demon Exorcist! The title sounded imposing; there were only ten in the entire Seventh District. But could Brother Hao agree so easily?
I am a master of pretentiousness.
Chu Hao said indifferently, "You’re still the S-Level Demon Exorcist of the Seventh District."
Everyone was stunned.
Chu Hao, with his hands behind his back, said pretentiously, "This Taoist Master has absolutely no interest in the S-Level Demon Exorcist title. I never considered wanting it; it’s of no consequence."
"DING... The Host speaks indifferently while being pretentious and gains 900 Pretentiousness Points."
See that! This is the realm of being pretentious, mastering the scale of pretentiousness. Whenever there’s an opportunity to show off, Brother Hao will step up without hesitation.
As a result, the others now looked at him differently. Someone had actually refused the title of S-Level Demon Exorcist!
Zhao Gousheng’s excitement plummeted, as if he’d fallen into an abyss.
Zhao Gousheng sighed deeply. "Young friend Chu, please reconsider."
Chu Hao waved his hand. "Say no more. This Taoist Master is completely uninterested."
Being this pretentious, what can you do to me?
Some exchanged glances, some were disappointed, and some were amazed.
Ouyang Lan had a complicated expression. "Since you put it that way, you wouldn’t be happy if I gave it to you, would you?"
Chu Hao nodded indifferently.
The middle-aged man beside her, also a leader in the Seventh District holding a rank similar to that of a minister, sighed. "Every S-Level Demon Exorcist receives the highest level of national treatment and the best resources."
Zhao Gousheng sighed deeply. "That’s right. An S-Level Demon Exorcist can command any special department below the provincial level. Moreover, you can also issue orders directly on behalf of the leadership. Even if the other party is a vice mayor, they must cooperate with you."
Chu Hao was surprised. The authority of an S-Level Demon Exorcist is actually that high! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
He instantly felt a twinge of regret.
Zhao Gousheng continued, "The highest authority of an S-Level Demon Exorcist allows you to mobilize troops—an entire division. Furthermore, wherever you go, your friends and family will be protected by the Seventh District."
To be able to command troops... isn’t that what they call a major figure? It sounds like being an S-Level Demon Exorcist is pretty awesome!
The words once spoken couldn’t be taken back now.
Chu Hao felt a pang of heartache but stubbornly waved his hand. "So what? Those things are inconsequential to this Taoist Master."
The middle-aged man nodded. Chu Hao doesn’t need any gimmicks. A true powerhouse, with a strong heart, can crush everything.
But then, the middle-aged man dropped another bombshell that almost made Chu Hao cry.
"The benefits for an S-Level Demon Exorcist are also quite good. You can use the newly developed Life-prolonging Medicine, which extends life by about twenty to fifty years. With your constitution, Young friend Chu, you could maximize its effects, potentially extending your life by forty to fifty years."
Chu Hao was speechless.
I... Is it too late for me to regret this now?
Brother Hao felt like slapping himself. This is what you get for showing off!
Life-prolonging Medicine! The Seventh District actually has Life-prolonging Medicine! That’s insanely awesome!
Zhao Gousheng added, "Of course, if you earn enough merit, you can also apply to the higher-ups for ancient cultivation manuals and treasures."
Stop talking! I’m already kicking myself!
Ancient cultivation manuals! If he could get his hands on those, wouldn’t he be able to exchange them for a ton of Pretentiousness Points!
Chen Taofen then revealed something that made Chu Hao want to bang his head against a wall. "Besides," Chen Taofen said, "S-Level Demon Exorcists aren’t bound by certain laws. They can marry multiple wives and even possess a Death Exemption Token. Of course, the latter is useless for S-Level Demon Exorcists; they’re already very powerful."
Chu Hao’s mouth fell open. "Multiple wives?"
Zhao Gousheng explained, "Because the genes of an S-Level Demon Exorcist are at the pinnacle of humanity, having more offspring is considered beneficial. In this regard, S-Level Demon Exorcists are not restricted by law."
Damn it! There’s actually such an incredible perk! AHHHH!! Why did I refuse?
Brother Hao’s head must have been caught in a door for him to turn down such benefits! Polygamy! That’s been Brother Hao’s dream since he was little, and I just had to go and refuse it for the sake of showing off!
Besides, there were even more perks. As treasures of Huaxia, S-Level Demon Exorcists were basically pampered and treated like Bodhisattvas.
Ouyang Lan snorted. "This polygamy rule... who decided it shouldn’t be restricted? Their brains must be full of water."
Clearly, while she was satisfied with the other benefits, she internally rejected this one.
Suddenly, Chu Hao asked, "Does that mean a female S-Level Demon Exorcist can also have multiple husbands?"
Everyone laughed. "Theoretically, yes, that’s possible."
Even that’s allowed? That’s just too awesome!
Ouyang Lan’s face turned red as she saw Chu Hao gaping at her. This kid isn’t thinking I’d actually practice polyandry, is he? She glared at him fiercely.
Chu Hao’s heart felt like it had taken ten thousand points of critical damage.
After witnessing Chu Hao’s strength, the Seventh District’s psychological experts judged that Chu Hao wasn’t inherently bad, just that he loved to show off. The Seventh District had investigated him almost completely.
After Chu Hao left, everyone turned to Ouyang Lan. Zhao Gousheng asked, "Little Lan, what do you think of his strength?"
Ouyang Lan replied, "He’s very strong. His power could rank him in the top five among S-Level Demon Exorcists. But in a real fight, if I used Mystical Arts, I guarantee I could kill him instantly."
Zhao Gousheng nodded and sighed. "What a pity he didn’t join the Seventh District."
"Hmph! If he dares to aid villains, I’ll kill him myself." Ouyang Lan turned and walked away, her aura completely different from before.
S-Level Demon Exorcists each had their own characteristics and strengths. Although Ouyang Lan was an assassin, she was still very powerful when it came to killing humans and exterminating demons.
「Leaving the Seventh District.」
Chen Taofen was driving, marveling. "Dude, you actually refused to become an S-Level Demon Exorcist! You must be the first in history. That’s just too awesome! I’ve worked my butt off for so many years just to become an S-Level Demon Exorcist. To think about legally marrying a few wives and extending my life by twenty or thirty years... that’s an incredibly awesome benefit!"
Chu Hao was in a terrible mood, still filled with regret. Hearing Chen Taofen tease him, he snapped, "Shut up and drive."
Chen Taofen was speechless. He really couldn’t grasp Chu Hao’s way of thinking. This was the oddest person he had ever met.
Chen Taofen continued, "I’ve heard that above S-Level Demon Exorcists, there’s an even more formidable Dragon Soul Organization. Every member of Dragon Soul apparently enjoys benefits at least ten times better than an S-Level Demon Exorcist. Man... if I could join Dragon Soul in my lifetime, that would be amazing!"
Chu Hao exclaimed in surprise, "There’s a Dragon Soul Organization above S-Level?"
Chen Taofen said excitedly, "I heard that one member of Dragon Soul was a founder of the Seventh District and lived for almost two hundred years!"
Two hundred years!
