I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 2

Beep, beep, beep, beep…
There was a commotion on the table and everyone looked at each other.
It was midnight and they started moving.
Jesse and the other young man closed the classroom door. Fatty pulled the curtains shakily.
Everything fell into darkness.
People who often walked at night knew that they would not be able to see anything if they suddenly fell into darkness. However, after a while, they would regain some of their vision.
However, the scene in front of them made them feel a little strange.
It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen.
In order to ensure the authenticity of the mission, the club installed infrared cameras in the classroom in advance. This operation would also be publicly broadcasted by the club.
Logically speaking, he should be able to see the red dot on the camera, but there was no light at all.
As the light source disappeared, everyone became quiet.
"Beep! System evolution complete!"
"Ding! Condition met, activating survival mission."
"Host, please capture a small ghost within the deadline. The deadline is one month. You will receive generous rewards from the system after completing the mission."
There would be rewards and punishments. Brian, who was well-versed in the game, asked the system.
"What if I don't complete the mission?"
"Note: If the mission is not completed within the deadline, the system will automatically leave the host. To prevent the secret of the system from being leaked, the host will be destroyed."
Hearing the first message, Brian did not think much of it, but the following words of the system made his heart turn cold.
What? This was too much risk.
"I don't have any objections if you want to leave, but it's too much to destroy humanity."
Furthermore, what secrets did he know? All he knew was the name of the system. How was that considered confidential?
Brian had no choice but to suffer in silence.

Fortunately, the system was not so inhumane. It gave him a month's time. As long as he completed the mission within a month, he should be fine.
Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly received another notification.
"System's friendly reminder: The cumulative number of days the host has arrived in the New World has reached 30 days. According to the number of days in January, there are still three hours left until the time limit of the mission is exceeded. Please complete the mission as soon as possible."
"Damn…"
Who said that the system was humane?
In the blink of an eye, the deadline was three hours. This was killing Brian.
Calm down for a moment.
Brian took a deep breath in the darkness. The ghost aura here was so strong, there should be ghosts.
He had not thought of how to subdue the ghosts, but since it concerned his life, there was no time to think about it. When the time came, he would just have to adapt to the situation.
The classroom lit up.
As candles were lit at the four corners of the room, the test began.
"In that case, let's do it."
Unlike the nervous people, Brian was very calm.
The threat of life made him have a strong will to live.
One word, f*ck!
At this moment.
Something touched his shoulder. The furry touch startled Brian.
With the help of the dim candlelight, a slightly fierce-looking face appeared before her eyes.
"Brian, are you ready? Just do what I told you before. Don't panic when you see anything. After completing the mission, I'll treat you to a bar service."
Hey! So it was Jesse.
Jesse patted Brian on the shoulder and gave him a smile that all men understood.
In order for Brian to help him make a fortune in the mission gambling, he had taught Brian all the secrets of passing the test.
Whether he was going to be heaven or hell, it all depended on tonight.

Brian nodded grimly, as if he were giving Jesse and the others an account of what had happened. Or perhaps he was encouraging himself.
"Don't worry. We will complete today's mission no matter what."
If he could not complete the mission given by the system, tonight would be his last.
Jesse and the others did not hear the meaning behind his words and slowly retreated out of the classroom.
Apart from Jesse and the others who were watching through the crack in the door, there were quite a lot of spectators.
Location: Bluefields College's Red Fire Paranormal Society
The paranormal clubs were all made up of students, so their headquarters was located in the school's residential area.
In the lobby of a strangely decorated apartment, dozens of people were staring intently at the big screen in the center. These people were mainly dressed in strange clothes. No one could recognize that they were actually students.
The projector screen was playing the image of Brian on a mission.
Seeing him wake up miraculously after fainting, everyone was filled with anticipation for the live broadcast.
After Jesse and the others walked out of the classroom, snowflakes suddenly appeared on the screen like a malfunction. Many snowflakes formed a huge skull, and a very ear-piercing sound wave resounded through the apartment, as if the devil was cackling.
Then suddenly, the live broadcast stopped.
"Oh my god, what did I just see?"
"There really is a demon. He's here. He's smiling at me… it's horrible."
"This is definitely a dream. I swear I've never done anything wrong."
"Dream on. What do you mean by pinching my thigh?"
Panic quickly spread and the scene was in chaos.
…
"Quiet! The president is here."
Upon hearing this, the noisy atmosphere was slightly suppressed.
A graceful figure walked down the stairs.
"Haha! My dear friends, are you scared?"
Celia smiled as if she had gotten her way.
"I was just joking with everyone just now. If you are really scared, it means that you guys have to be more courageous!"
Only after hearing this explanation did the crowd quiet down.
"Oh right, there's a small problem with the live broadcast system. I've sent someone to check it. Please calm down."
As the president of the paranormal club, after Celia calmed everyone down, she began to systematically arrange for people to check the equipment.
But was this really a prank? Celia's sexy brows drew together.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the pretty president's harsh methods were evident.
It was said that someone in Celia's family was a high-ranking military official. She had grown up in the military compound since she was a child, so she had been influenced by the swift and decisive style of the military. She was very tough when handling matters.
In addition, she had an extraordinary background that no one dared to provoke in the campus.
After a while, a member of the club walked up.
"President Celia, the equipment has been inspected by maintenance personnel. Everything is normal."
"Is everything normal? Then what is the reason…"
There was something fishy about this. Celia quickly took out her phone and contacted the operators, intending to cancel this mission.
Beep beep beep!
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is uncontactable. Please try again later. Please leave a message after pressing #. I'm sorry, the…"
After making a few consecutive calls and failing to get through, Celia smelled something unusual.
Although she was the president of the paranormal club, she did not believe in ghosts and gods. Her original intention was to tell everyone that demons and ghosts did not exist.
However, the strange situation were out of her expectations.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
