I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 8
Advertisement
Although he was unwilling to admit it, this matter was indeed a little strange.
Celia, too, was startled by this sudden twist. She turned her head shakily toward the river.
At this moment, there was no woman asking for help. There was only a white plastic bag floating in the turbulent river.
A gentle breeze blew past and the bag of condiments fluttered in the wind. It looked like someone was waving at them.
Except for Brian, no one noticed a black gas heading downstream. Like a predator, it continued to search for its next prey.
"What? Where's the person who asked for help?"
Celia exclaimed in surprise.
"There! That's the person you wanted to save!"
As he expertly stamped out the cigarette, Brian tipped his chin toward the floating plastic bag.
"That's impossible. I clearly saw someone crying for help in the water. How did it become a plastic bag in the blink of an eye?"
"Lady in high heels, you can only see beautiful things in your eyes, such as the handsome and suave me, so it's understandable that you're mistaken."
Brian glanced at the expressionless driver.
"Miss Celia was wrong. Am I right, Mr. Driver?"
Celia's already wavering heart suddenly felt unhappy when she saw Brian's teasing expression.
At this moment, the driver stood up and nodded at Celia, indicating that it was true.
"Miss, I kept staring at that person and suddenly realized that it had become a plastic bag."
Hearing the driver's words, Celia did not refute him for once, because not only was this person her personal chauffeur, but he was also the right-hand man her grandfather in the military sent her. He absolutely obeyed orders.
He would never fool himself about these things.
However, the chauffeur's words made her feel awkward.
'You are my man. If you help this bastard, wouldn't it make me seem ignorant?'

'This guy even said that I have big boobs but no brains. It's true that I have big boobs, but it's nothing compared to being brainless.'
'Humph, big liar, bastard Brian!'
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.
Bang!
Celia snorted and slammed the car door shut.
"Let's go. Leave this murderer alone."
Brian waved his hand in a gentleman manner as he faced Celia who was behaving like an angry lion.
"Beautiful lady in high heels, see you next time!"
"I won't see you again, thank you!"
The black car drove into the dark night and gradually disappeared.
Brian put the last cigarette in his mouth. He crumpled the empty pack and put it in his pocket.
The ghost in the water had already left. This river, named Varga Breath, was a branch of the Amazon River. It spanned the entire Gro City from north to south, and its range and flow were numerous.
It was extremely difficult to search for it.
After thinking for a while, Brian decided to go back and rest. He would come here tomorrow to try his luck.
He recognized that this place was not far from his residence.
What else could he do? He could only continue walking. Who asked him to have run into this?
Silence.
A bright moon hung quietly in the sky, emitting clear moonlight as the stars in the sky flickered.
Brian walked unhurriedly down the deserted road, his cigarette fading from his lips.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already four in the morning.
"Ding! Ghost aura+0.1 ,+0.1…"
This was the time when the Yin energy in the world was the heaviest. Even the breeze that hung up carried a sinister chill.
If it was anyone else, he might have panicked, but Brian, who had encountered two ghosts in a row, was already numb.

The ghost aura in the system began to increase bit by bit.
This pitch-black night even made him somewhat intoxicated.
Honk honk honk—
Two bright honks pierced the quiet darkness.
The car window slowly rolled down and a beautiful face appeared in front of him.
"Get in, I'll send you back."
Halfway there, perhaps Celia had found her conscience, she actually made the driver turn back.
The car started again, but this time there was one more person in the car.
After telling the driver his address, Brian fell into a deep sleep.
Celia murmured as she studied the man in the backseat.
"This guy looks quite handsome when he is quiet!"
"But… do those things really exist in this world?"
The handsome man in front of her was sleeping very quietly.
But for the first time, she had some doubts about her materialistic beliefs.
…
The car kept going and an unknowing amount of time had passed.
Brian, who was sound asleep, was awakened by a gentle movement.
"Mr. Brian, we have arrived at the place you mentioned."
"Sir! Are you sure this is where you live? Did you make a mistake? If you're wrong, I can give you a ride."
The chauffeur kindly reminded him.
"I'm already here. Thanks!"
Brian waved and walked into a grand castle under Celia's surprised gaze.
…
Brian was a gaming nerd who had nothing in his previous life. He relied on his meager income from developing small games and gaming competitions to live a life that was worse than the top.
However, after he transmigrated to this world, he became the illegitimate son of the richest man in the city, Old Bu. Old Bu had three smart daughters but he only had his first son when he was middle-aged. Although Brian did not ask for anything, he had excellent food and clothes.
He did not like to be disturbed, so he was the only one living in this castle.
Back in the castle.
Before Brian could wash up, waves of sleep overwhelmed him.
After a while.
His gentle and deep breathing could be heard in the empty room.
Brian, who was sleeping, felt his mind go blank. His feet felt as if they were stepping on cotton, floating in the air with a sense of etherealness and comfort.
Finally, he landed steadily on the ground.
Almost at the same time, a familiar voice sounded.
"Ding! Evolution of the Ghost Realm complete. Host, please check!"
"Beep! Host has entered the ghost realm and activated the realm attribute. Vegetation growth speed+10%, time flow increase+5%. All demon ghosts in the realm can obtain the evolution attribute…"
If one phrase was needed to describe Brian's current mood, it was—indescribable surprise and joy.
He knew that after subduing the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini, the system had added a new realm function, and he had also used his consciousness to witness the wonders of the Ghost Realm. However, at that time, there was nothing outside of a few buildings and everything was surrounded by chaos.
In its place was a miniature world.
The surroundings were surrounded by green trees. The blue sky was filled with white clouds. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
Tall buildings stood tall and immortal air drifted about. Everything seemed like a paradise on earth.
Upon entering, Brian was no longer sleepy. His body was full of vitality and he felt as if he had endless strength.
Brian looked around excitedly.
After slipping away for about ten minutes, Brian was convinced that this was his ghost realm.
