Chapter 1: The System of Catching and Reselling the Strange

As Lin Cheng descended to the fourth floor, he saw a portly, balding middle-aged man anxiously and fearfully standing there.

The man was enveloped in a faint black aura, resembling a being that had emerged from the abyss. In the dim light, the youth's face was filled with a greedy and sinister expression, appearing particularly eerie and terrifying

I understand, I understand, this is the demeanor of a master. Rest assured, I guarantee that even my wife and children will not know about this. However, if we do not proceed with the application, I can only offer you some personal compensation, though it is not much. I currently have a total of 5002 in my private savings.

Achievement Task: Accumulate 10,000 Divine Coins, currently 7,000 / 10,000

All the lights became naturally bright, the air was no longer murky, and the surveillance cameras that had been malfunctioning continued to record as usual. After confirming all these, Dean Hao finally let out a sigh of relief

After a moment, Lin Chen glanced at his WeChat balance, which had reached 5250, and happily returned home with a smile on his face

Finally, the fifth floor no longer has the eerie feeling it once had

Skills: Lockpicking, Tracking, Concealment, Disguise, Backstab, Master of Poison.

Note: After the skill is acquired, it will automatically be cultivated to the first level

Is it necessary to apply upward

However, upon seeing the column of skills, Lin Chen's recent joy from capturing the fierce ghost was somewhat diminished.

At the same time, he continuously picked up some trash cans and threw them behind him in a haphazard manner, aiming to create chaos for the young man behind him

White, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red

Over the years, all the ghosts that have been captured have been sold, yet the function of the dog system surprisingly only serves for lottery draws

Among them, there were one or two who were unyielding. Lin Chen used a drug from the system called "Obedient Water" in conjunction with his extraordinary mental power to forcibly erase the other party's memory.

Are all masters unique in their forms? Dean Hao replied: "There is compensation, but it must be applied for at a higher level, and it is quite troublesome. After all, if there are ghostly occurrences, it would be too bizarre for others to comprehend."

Having multiple skills is never a burden; shouldn't we save some for the New Year

The resale has failed; this ghost can only be treated, not treat others. No hospitals are willing to take on the case in the realm of divine and mysterious currencies. However, many black mining areas in various worlds are currently short of workers, and the prices are slightly higher. Should we consider reselling?

It can permanently enhance both his physical and mental attributes. Lin Chen now dares to confront ghosts head-on, relying on the strength derived from the physical and mental fruits extracted by the system.

At last, the sound of footsteps had echoed in his ears. The middle-aged man in the green attire felt a chill in his heart. Before he could utter a plea for mercy, there was a loud "splash," and everything before him was plunged into complete darkness

Congratulations on obtaining 3 Physical Fruits and 5 Mental Fruits. Congratulations on receiving the golden quality rewards: Yi Jin Jing and the golden quality reward: Ten Slaps to Exorcise Ghosts

Lin Chen was pondering about returning home to study his techniques, somewhat distracted. He did not pay close attention to the words of the balding middle-aged man, only catching a few phrases. Suddenly, he paused and asked, "Did you just have your eyes opened by that ghost?"

His laughter echoed continuously in the corridor, resembling the wailing of a vengeful spirit, which instilled even greater fear in the middle-aged man in the green attire. A chill rose from the depths of his heart, making him wish he had two more legs to escape with all his might.

Draw

Ghost Power: 190

There is no need for thanks; a reward would be even better

Is this a skill that a master should possess

Lin Chen thought to himself: "This ghost has been in the hospital for so long, it must know some medical skills. I should sell it to the hospital and strive to get a good price."

Looking at his attribute panel, Lin Chen felt a slight sense of satisfaction

After Lin Chen left, Dean Hao called several security guards and, accompanied by others, bravely ascended to the fifth floor of the hospital's inpatient department, suppressing his palpitations and fear

I have received the funds! Moreover, it is a technique that I have never drawn before

Including today's Qingyi ghost, all the ghosts he has captured have been sold for divine coins, which he then uses for a lottery. However, every skill he draws is either a tracking technique or something like a hallucinogenic drug

... ...

Lin Chen was utterly shocked, and then he was filled with great joy

But this is the only thing he can do

The Ten Slaps of Demon Suppression: An extraordinarily powerful palm technique, particularly capable of inflicting astonishing damage on demons, reputed to be the nemesis of the demonic path. It consists of a total of ten slaps, and with the mastery of each slap, its power will increase exponentially

Little brother, you are truly remarkable, a real master! In this past month, three medical staff members have died on the fifth floor of the hospital, and the conditions of their deaths were horrific! Many employees say that there is something unclean on the fifth floor, which is quite eerie. However, I have always been reluctant to believe that there are ghosts in this world. I never expected that today I would not only encounter a ghost but also meet a master like you. You have truly opened my eyes!

Behind him, there was a very young-looking man who was greedily pursuing him without relent.

5002 is enough

The quality ranking of the system's rewards

In addition to these two types, the consolation prize also includes a Ghost Power Fruit, which grants him a power known as "Ghost Power." By utilizing this Ghost Power that permeates his body, he can directly attack ghosts that exist between the realms of illusion and reality

This is a hospital, and possibly due to the presence of ghosts, the elevator on the fifth floor is out of service, so Lin Chen has no choice but to take the stairs down

... ...

Yijinjing: The most powerful internal martial arts technique in a certain extraordinary martial arts world, capable of generating internal energy, cleansing the tendons and marrow. The technique is divided into ten levels, and each time one achieves a level, it cleanses the tendons and marrow once, significantly increasing the purity and total amount of internal energy. Upon perfecting the technique, one can attain a pure body constitution. (This method is extremely difficult to practice; even an unparalleled genius cannot achieve great success without thirty years of hard work.)

Hehehe ... ...

In the dimly lit corridor, a middle-aged man dressed in blue was running around in terror, seemingly lost in panic due to his fear, crashing into various facilities in the corridor, scattering them in disarray

Dean Hao nodded repeatedly; a person who has navigated society for so many years is indeed quite astute. He said:

The middle-aged man was almost choked by Lin Chen's words, what on earth has opened my eyes, what is wrong with this kid's ears

The young man did not respond, relentlessly pursuing without relent, while emitting a series of eerie laughs from his mouth

Ten consecutive draws have commenced

The Physique Fruit and the Spirit Fruit do not need further elaboration; they are rewards that almost always appear in every lottery draw, serving as consolation prizes

The username is "I, in broad daylight!" The profile picture is a selfie of Lin Chen with a beaming smile. In the chat records, there is also a transfer record of an amount of 5000.

This is enough to spend on oneself for half a year

These two cultivation methods are of utmost importance to him! After all, he currently possesses only a few mental skills and some life-supporting skills, and he does not have any that can be used for direct combat

Ghosts can be said to be even rarer than giant pandas. For many people, the existence of ghosts is simply unbelievable. Even for Lin Chen himself, if it were not for the fortunate awakening of the system, it would be quite difficult to believe that ghosts exist in this world

Received, please select the seller

This is not the time for research. Lin Chen adjusted his attire, cleared his throat lightly, and then walked straight down the stairs

Lin Chen shook the pink sack in his hand with a face full of joy, ignoring the struggles of the middle-aged man in green inside, and calmly tied the opening of the sack tightly.

After two individuals exchanged contact information by scanning each other's codes, Lin Chen received a substantial sum of 5,000 yuan and left Director Hao with 2 yuan to buy water.

After seeing the introduction, Lin Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up; the dog system had finally become human again

Successful resale, obtained 300 mysterious coins, the current acquisition price in the black mining area is the highest among all realms, and it has been set as the default resale address

Under such challenging conditions, Lin Chen wandered through various cities for a full ten years, only to capture 20 ghosts. Ultimately, through the systematic reselling, he acquired his current strength

The balance of the mysterious coin has reached 500. May I ask if the host still wishes to draw?

Host: Lin Chen

This is still Lin Chen's first time drawing a reward of golden quality

As he moved, the struggles within the sack suddenly ceased, and the size of the pink sack continued to shrink, eventually becoming no larger than the size of a palm

"I beg you, spare me! Please stop bothering me." The middle-aged man in the green attire, upon seeing this, was filled with even greater terror, pleading in a trembling voice.

Lin Chen expressed some regret, saying: "Reselling."

Dean Hao silently deleted the transfer records and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I really have opened my eyes... Ugh!"

[Spirit: 150] (The limit for an ordinary person is 10)

What on earth are these things

As the youth strides forward in pursuit, the distance between him and the middle-aged man in the green attire continues to diminish

Physical Strength: 150 (the limit for an average person is 10)

Regarding the common consolation prizes, Lin Chen has not paid attention to them for the time being, but has instead focused all his thoughts on the newly emerged techniques.

However, this world is not a world of ghosts and monsters at all; it is exactly the same as the Blue Star of my previous life

This is the result of his efforts over the past 18 years since he traversed into this world

The balding middle-aged man, upon seeing Lin Chen come down, was filled with joy and hurriedly approached, saying: "Young brother, you have finally come down. What about that thing upstairs?"

After dismissing everyone, Dean Hao glanced at the new friend request on his mobile phone's Feixin app

[Exotic Treasure: System-provided pink sack (can recycle any ghost)]

The distance is getting closer and closer

This time, I am truly overflowing with good fortune

Lin Chen shook his head and said: "There is no need to apply upward; I do not like to make a big fuss. Additionally, regarding this matter, Dean Hao, please remember to keep it confidential. It is best that no one else knows about it besides you and me."

Well, 300 mysterious coins is quite a substantial amount

He organized his emotions and said: "Little brother, you have solved a great problem for our hospital, and we should thank you very much. Moreover, little brother, you saved my life. My surname is Hao, and I am the director of this hospital. If you have any needs in the future, please do not hesitate to mention them."

Lin Chen was somewhat impatient in expressing his thoughts

This world is almost identical to Earth in a previous life. When he first crossed over, he was merely an orphan, growing up in an orphanage called "Dian Dian." As he grew older, he unexpectedly awakened the "Ghost Catching and Selling" system. In his excitement, he began to seek opportunities and subsequently searched everywhere for ghosts.

Lin Chen glanced at the balding middle-aged man and recalled that he had saved him when he had just rushed to the fifth floor to capture the middle-aged ghost in a green robe. He smiled and said, "I have already eliminated it, so your hospital can operate normally now"

I have finally caught you

Director Hao almost lost his breath. Is this the demeanor of a master? If he had not witnessed with his own eyes the young man in front of him wielding a whip in one hand and a folding stool in the other, forcing that middle-aged man in blue to flee in panic, he would truly suspect that he had encountered a fraud.

Lin Chen did not wish to reveal his uniqueness. For over a decade, while he was capturing ghosts, there were indeed some individuals who unexpectedly discovered his activities. However, after friendly negotiations with Lin Chen, without exception, all of them were able to keep their mouths sealed.

The system sold him

They exchanged compliments with Dean Hao while simultaneously putting the "obedient water" back into the system space

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was instantly filled with wild joy, his mouth nearly stretching to the edges of his ears, and he laughed, saying

After all, I am a university graduate; if others see me, they might think I am a vagrant

Mystical Coin Balance: 500

As soon as the system's voice fell, a vortex that resembled a space-time rift appeared in Lin Chen's mind, and at the same time, various items emerged from it

Although the middle-aged figure in the green attire knew that this held no significance for the presence behind him, as the footsteps from behind were gradually drawing closer
