I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 12
Advertisement
Brian had just put down the phone when he received an invitation from Celia.
"Mr. Brian, although today's mission is not the club's operation, since you are participating, I can allow you to be a member of the club. What do you think?"
Brian did not pass the test because the last club test was not live-streamed. He was not a member of the Red Fire Paranormal Club.
"My pleasure, ma'am!"
Brian, who was still paying attention to the movements of the water ghost, did not think too much and casually replied.
"Oh! Congratulations to Mr. Brian for becoming a member of the paranormal club. Please welcome our new partner."
When Brian realized what was happening, he felt like he was on a pirate ship.
…
System Notification: Current time is 11:48 PM in Gro City!
It was already close to midnight. There were only ten minutes left before midnight.
Everyone in the live-stream was waiting for the water ghost to appear.
Celia did not say anything else. She pointed the camera straight into the river.
Under the radar of the system, the water ghost had already entered the ambush set up by those armed with guns and was about to appear.
Brian stared hard at the river.
"Activate system function, Left Oculus of God!"
"Beep! Activated successfully. 50 attribute points deducted. Duration: 12 hours."
As the system beeped, Brian's left eye suddenly flooded with heat. The tingling sensation was hard for him to get used to.
Ten seconds later, everything became clear.
Brian's eyes were like a high-performance microscope. The murky lake water became clear in his eyes, and a white thing floated toward him through the water.
"It's here!"
"What's here?"
Celia blinked at him curiously.
"The thing you're waiting for is here!"
In the eyes of everyone, the turbulent river was still the same as before.
Celia thought that Brian was just scaring her.

To confirm the situation, she took out a small walkie-talkie.
"Everyone, please report the current situation!"
"River Coast Division, no situation, over!"
"Sniper team, no situation. Over!"
"Firepower unit, no situation. Over!"
"Underwater team, no situation. Over!"
…
Celia proudly waved the walkie-talkie in her hand.
"Mr. Brian, did you hear that? Everything is normal!"
Hearing the report, Brian suddenly shivered.
There were people underwater. This was equivalent to feeding the water ghost!
He hurriedly asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's 12:03 AM now. Why?"
Brian's face darkened when he heard that.
"Celia! Quick, get your men out of the water."
The atmosphere immediately turned tense!
There was no time for Brian to say more. Any later and it would be too late.
"Are you kidding me, Mr. Brian? They are the main force in capturing the water ghost. How can they retreat at this time?"
"You brainless woman with big breasts, ask about the situation underwater again!"
Seeing that Brian did not look like he was joking, Celia tried to contact the underwater crew.
"Beep beep beep…"
A busy tone was heard and Celia realized something was wrong.
In Brian's left eye, he could clearly see dozens of figures carrying oxygen tanks and professional diving equipment being dragged into the dark river by white water ghosts.
The inexplicable situation in front of them made everyone panic.
Originally, they had planned to send a small group of people into the water to lure the water ghosts out. After that, they would use their powerful firepower to suppress the water ghosts and capture or kill them.
However, the current situation was that they had lost contact with the crew underwater before even discovering the shadow of the water ghosts. This situation left them at a loss.
At this moment, sound came from the walkie-talkie in Celia's hand.
"Miss! We are trapped by a monster. Request for help!"

Perhaps it was because the situation was urgent, the voice on the walkie-talkie was filled with sorrow and urgency.
This unexpected situation caught everyone off guard.
The underwater monster finally appeared.
However, the ambush they had set up did not work at all. Their people were actually entangled by the monsters. It was unrealistic to say that they had firepower coverage now because it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their own people.
But now that they were not doing anything, it was unknown if the people in the water were still alive.
After hesitating for a moment, Celia decided to send people to rescue them!
"Hold on, I'll send someone to save you, do you hear me…"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an ear-piercing sound wave from the walkie-talkie.
Obviously, they could not hear her.
"Argh! Come down, save me… save me…"
After the busy tone, a gloomy voice came from the walkie-talkie, scaring Celia so much that she threw the walkie-talkie away.
What should they do? They had not caught the water ghost yet but more than ten people had died.
Celia paced anxiously.
Perhaps she was too anxious to look at her feet, she was suddenly tripped by the walkie-talkie that she had just thrown away.
Everyone knew about the situation on the riverbank. After being eroded by the river water and washed by the rain for a long time, only very hard rocks and gravel were left behind.
It would be terrible if she fell down here.
As the ground in front of her got closer and closer, Celia instinctively closed her eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
The expected collision and pain did not come. Instead, there was an inexplicable warmth flowing through her body.
'Eh? What's on my waist?'
Sensing something amiss, Celia met a pair of teasing eyes the moment she opened her eyes.
"Lady in heels, can you get up if you haven't fainted from fright? Hurry up, I still have to help you and save those in the water!"
Hearing this, Celia scrambled out of Brian's arms.
"What? Brian, you can save those people?!"
Human lives were at stake. Even if Brian wanted to keep a low profile, he had to take action.
…
At Brian's suggestion, Celia withdrew everyone she had brought to the road.
At this moment, only Brian, Celia, and the members of the paranormal club who were responsible for the live stream were left on the riverbank.
"Mr. Brian, are you sure this will work?"
Looking at Brian, who was wearing a diving suit and a children's swimming ring, Celia was shocked.
Filling the small leather dinghy he had brought, Brian turned back and made a victory gesture.
"My dear Lady Celia, how can a man say it won't work? Please remove the word 'won't'."
Brian lit a cigarette and walked towards the rapids in a dashing manner that he imagined to be.
What he did not know was that his words and actions were being watched by hundreds of thousands of people.
The livestream was already in chaos. At this moment, everyone watching the livestream was also boiling with anxiety.
Unfortunately, the comments in the live-stream had already been turned off. The sudden incident made Celia and the others subconsciously ignore the existence of the live-stream.
"Miss, can this eccentric gentleman really defeat the water ghosts and save those people?"
A member of the club who was holding a camera asked what everyone in the live-stream was thinking.
Hearing this, Celia could not help but pause.
She thought about what happened that night and the calm expression on his face when he heard about the water ghost.
"He's a complete bastard. Maybe what he said was true all along. He actually passed the test of peeling an apple perfectly a long time ago…"
