Ghost Catching System-Chapter 446 - 445 System Upgrade Card_1

"It’s my turn now. I recently opened a modeling agency, and everything was going great, but for some reason, the girls have been breaking their contracts one after another. What on earth is happening?"

Chu Hao pinched his fingers together, calculated, and said, "You’ve encountered some backstabbers too. Take a good look at your staff; some have dirty backgrounds and are threatening the girls."

Upon hearing this, his cousin burst into a rage. "Which son of a bitch is causing trouble for me? I’ll thoroughly investigate this tomorrow!"

After continuing to read fortunes for everyone, they were all thoroughly convinced.

Not to mention, Eighth Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Brother-in-law, and other relatives were envious watching Chu Hao tell fortunes for that group of young elites; they desperately wanted to find Chu Hao immediately.

"DING... Host has successfully become the center of attention by showing off, receiving 900 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao’s modest display of skill led many to regard him with a bit more awe.

Chu Hao’s cousin, with his arm around Chu Hao’s shoulder, laughed and said, "Ah-Hao, tonight we’re not going home until we’re drunk. You can’t run off!"

Chu Hao shyly said, "I... I can’t drink much."

Hearing this, Tang Mo at the next table almost spat blood. You? ’Can’t drink much’? Can’t you be a bit more honest?

The cousin chuckled. "You don’t have to drink a lot, just enough to get drunk."

In the end, Chu Hao drank everyone at the table under. They were all dizzily slumped over, while Chu Hao was only slightly tipsy.

The cousin almost cried, pointing at him in a daze. "You lied to me!"

Chu Hao said seriously, "I really didn’t lie. I’m almost drunk too."

THUD. The cousin collapsed onto the table. Looking around, who else was sober?

"DING... Host has shown off with technical skill, receiving 900 Pretentiousness Points."

Others who saw Chu Hao take down a whole table of people were also dumbfounded.

Chu Hao patted his stomach, cut another slice of roast meat, lifted his glass toward the moonlight, and couldn’t help but recite, "Moonlight in my cup of wine, sorrows pile on sorrows. On this long and winding road, showing off keeps me company. A fine poem, a fine poem indeed!"

"That’s... That’s too much showing off," a young lady at another table said, already covering her face.

「...」

This day, after Chu Hao finished shopping with Yi Qinglian, he received a phone call from Li Yin.

Li Yin said, "Brother Hao, how long has it been since you’ve been to school? Hurry back!"

Chu Hao asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Those people from the Dwarf Kingdom are back. Word is they’ve brought quite a few experts this time to regain their lost face."

Last time, Chu Hao had defeated the interns from the Dwarf Kingdom, utterly disgracing them. Now they had returned yet again!

Lately, Chu Hao had been slacking off, not showing off and just hanging out, shopping with the big star. But he hadn’t forgotten his ultimate mission as a Pretentious Expert.

Chu Hao immediately said, "Those folks from the Dwarf Kingdom are itchy for another lesson, are they? Wait for me to come back."

Chu Hao had to return. He told Yi Qinglian to study hard with Sister Le Shen and work on improving her own showing-off skills.

After much thought, Chu Hao decided the ultimate mission of a Pretentious Expert hinged on the roll of the Pretentious Dice: bad luck showing off or good luck showing off.

Arriving at the airport, Chu Hao wasn’t worried about bad luck anymore. What was destined to come would come.

"I’ll throw!"

The Pretentious Dice landed on ’Lucky Show Off’.

Chu Hao stood at the airport, hands on hips, laughing triumphantly. "AHAHAHA... Today, your Brother Hao is unbeatable!"

He hurriedly opened the System interface; there were two treasure chests yet to be opened, just waiting for this moment.

Chu Hao rubbed his hands together. This was his first time opening treasure chests with good luck, and he was curious if he’d hit a jackpot. He said excitedly, "Brother Hao is invincible! Let’s get a Divine Artifact!"

"Open the Semi-Diamond Treasure Chest."

"DING... Congratulations to the Host on acquiring a Sixty Percent Discount Card."

Item: Sixty Percent Discount Card

Rarity: ★★★★

Ability: When used in the System Shop, all items receive a 50% discount (valid for 7 days, expires afterward).

Crazy cool, another discount card! If I buy items worth 10,000 Pretentiousness Points, wouldn’t I save 4,000 Pretentiousness Points?

This luck was already pretty darn good.

There was one last Diamond Treasure Chest. Chu Hao rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Open the treasure chest."

"DING... Congratulations, Host, you’ve acquired a System Upgrade Card."

Chu Hao was stunned. What the hell is this thing!

Item: System Upgrade Card

Rarity: None

Ability: Allows for a one-time system upgrade based on the Host’s desired function. Only one use.

Chu Hao, still stunned, looked at the System Upgrade Card and asked, "System, what can this thing upgrade?"

System: "The System Upgrade Card can upgrade items in the System Shop, add items unrelated to ghost-hunting, and upgrade system functions. Please make the most of it, Host."

Chu Hao’s eyes widened with excitement. This is simply a Divine Artifact!

System: "Calling it a Divine Artifact is not wrong."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Hao immediately said, "Alright, then upgrade the System’s voice to that of a coquettishly sweet young lady. First, it must be gentle; second, it must be sexy; and third, it must sound like she’s panting. Brother Hao is fed up with your cold tone!"

"DING... The Host has landed a critical showing-off hit on the system server, earning 3,000 Pretentiousness Points."

System: "..."

Chu Hao was also stunned.

The System roared, "Enough, Host!"

Chu Hao, as if discovering some incredible secret, said, So I can even show off to you!

System: "..."

Today’s Brother Hao is indeed invincible. AHAHAHA!

Without another word, the spendthrift Chu Hao declared, "Use the System Upgrade Card! Change the System voice. It must be gentle, it must be sexy, and it must sound like she’s panting!"

"DING... The Host has used the System Upgrade Card. The System is upgrading."

"DING... System upgrade successful."

Chu Hao quickly asked, "System, say something."

A coquettish young lady’s voice rang out, so sweet and alluring it felt like dripping honey. Most importantly, as she spoke, she seemed to be panting, creating an all-too-vivid image.

The System’s female voice replied, "What do you want this system to say, Host?"

Chu Hao said excitedly, "Hey, hey... your voice really does sound like you’re panting!"

System: "This system does not wish to acknowledge you."

If it were any other day, when the System said this, its tone would be cold and full of disdain. But now, the way it spoke was oh-so tender, almost like pouting.

Damn it all, this voice is beyond compare. If I listen to it a few more times, it might just suck the life force right out of me!

The System spoke again, "You idiotic Host! This was a rare opportunity, and you chose to use it on such a ridiculous thing."

Chu Hao smirked. "Brother Hao declared long ago he’d turn your voice into a woman’s panting. From now on, you are to refer to yourself in a cute, feminine way."

System: "Piss off..."

Chu Hao, feeling fantastic, boarded the airplane.

Yi Qinglian had bought him a first-class ticket. It wasn’t crowded like economy class; the environment was high-end, and the service was top-notch.

A flight attendant approached and asked, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

This flight attendant was ridiculously pretty, curvaceous, and graceful. With a single smile, she resembled a snow-white lotus rising from the mud, beautiful to behold and emitting a refreshing fragrance.
