I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 11

"System! Can these human weapons cause damage to demons and ghosts?"
"Note: Demons are born from the earth and are creatures that have attained Dao through cultivation. Weak demons can be injured by mortal objects, but in front of the powerful demons, one can only tickle them."
"As for ghosts, they are formed from human beings or other living beings who are unwilling to disappear after they die. Therefore, they live in another form. They are no longer physical existences, so using physical methods to deal with them is useless."
'I knew it. If firearms were useful, humans wouldn't have been forced to survive under such harsh conditions after the spiritual energy was completely recovered.'
"Hey! Mr. Brian?"
While Brian was deep in thoughts, a familiar fragrance entered his nose.
He followed the fragrance and lowered his head, meeting a beautiful face.
It almost made Brian jump. Fortunately, he restrained the urge to back away.
Was she trying to seduce him?
Alright, then let's see who's better?
Brian smiled and went forward.
Just as he was getting closer and was about to kiss her, Celia suddenly dodged nimbly.
What a pity, he was so close!
Seeing Brian's regretful look, Celia smiled proudly.
'Hmph! Pretending to be reserved last time, now your lecherous tail is showing!'
'Look, even a man would find it hard to resist my beauty.'
After teasing him for a while, Celia felt much better.
"Hey! My dear big liar, Mr. Brian, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you didn't get enough of the scenery last night and came here to admire the night scenery again today!"
She was curious as to why Brian was here. It looked like he had prepared some diving gear in his car.
It was definitely not as simple as just passing by!
She did not believe that Brian would come to swim in the middle of the night. However, the Water Ghost incident had caused quite a stir in Gro City recently. The river had become a restricted area. Brian would be seeking his own death if he went there late at night for a swim.

'Could it be that he was also here to catch water ghosts like me?'
Celia was lost in thought as she watched Brian carrying a child rescue ring and a small leather dinghy.
"Haha! The lady in high heels seems to know me very well. She even has a good reason for coming here!"
"However, my beauty is not in this dark night. The beauty in my heart is right before my eyes."
Brian stared at the beauty in front of him without blinking, showing a smirk on his face.
"Hmph! You're really… really…"
Celia's face changed. She wanted to sneer at the guy, but now he made her blush with his fancy words.
After seeing the news, she had a new understanding of what happened last night.
In order to catch a glimpse of what the water ghost looked like, she even called the person in the military and got some helpers.
As soon as the sky turned dark, she rushed over with her men.
"Mr. Brian is as humorous as ever, but unfortunately, I have booked the entire venue tonight. You can admire it, but it's only limited to viewing. With your intelligence, you should know what I mean!"
Whatever Brian was here for, she was not going to let anyone ruin her plan.
Celia was very confident in his operation this time. With the extraordinary skills of the people he had brought along and the powerful equipment he had transferred today, as long as the monster in the water dared to appear, it would definitely not return.
As for what Brian said about demons and ghosts having no shadows, she could investigate after she caught the monster.
Hearing Celia's domineering declaration, Brian frowned his sword-like eyebrows.
This time, Brian was in a dilemma. He had never expected his lady in high heels to appear here tonight.
One had to know that he came here based on the scanning function of the system.
It might be a coincidence, but the radar scanning function of the system showed that the water ghost was indeed wandering around the nearby river.
Now that there were these people stirring things up, what should he do next? Should he do a live broadcast?

Of course, Brian could not tell them that he had come to catch water ghosts in order to complete the mission. Besides, their purpose here was not simple. If he told them, it would attract their attention.
Friendly reminder: Upgrade mission (Subdue the Water Ghost that wreaks havoc in one area and help the masses resolve the hidden dangers of the Water Ghost). The time limit of the mission is 24 hours. There are 8 hours and 32 minutes left. Any ghost aura that is deducted will be cleared to zero. As a punishment, one month of lifespan will be reduced. Small punishment…
Looking at the mission countdown in the system, Brian forced himself to calm down.
There was still some time left. He could only wait and see. Hopefully, they would not affect his mission.
Seeing that Brian did not speak, Celia waved his hand and called someone over.
This person was holding a live broadcast device in his hand. The strange clothing on his body suggested that he was a member of the Red Fire Paranormal Club.
"Dear members and friends, I am your president, Celia. Tonight, the entire process of catching the water ghost will be broadcasted live. Let's see what the true appearance of the water monster is!"
After Celia's brief opening speech, the live broadcast officially began.
Everyone in Gro City knew about the reputation of ghosts and monsters. Now that there was actually a live stream of them catching the water ghost, the popularity of this stream immediately shot to the top of the search rankings.
More and more people flooded into the live-stream.
"The president is so beautiful today. She's like an angel!" *spams heart*
"Is President Celia only beautiful today? In my heart, she is beautiful every day…"
"Urgh! Urgh! Bear with the disgust and agree."
At that moment, not only the members of the paranormal club, but even some passers-by joined the special live broadcast.
"I'm a newcomer, what's going on? This girl is so pretty. Does she have a girlfriend?"
"Same question! Same question! Please add me on WeChat… njsgdsb78~"
"Little Missy doesn't belong to you alone. She belongs to everyone. You have to learn how to share!"
…
When the livestream started, the comments from the paranormal club members could still be seen. Ten minutes later, the entire screen was filled with comments.
Celia had no choice but to turn off the bullet-screen comments.
Brian was dumbfounded as he watched this.
What was the meaning of this? It was even broadcasted live?
Originally, he was already troubled by Celia bringing people to disrupt the situation, but now, the next action was directly broadcasted live. Did he have to perform catching water ghosts in the live broadcast?
It was a headache!
Just then, a ringtone pulled Brian back to reality.
"Hello! I'm handsome Brian. Are you watching the live broadcast? No, no, no, what's the matter?"
Jesse's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hey! How did you know that I wanted to watch the live-stream with you? But my friend, why aren't you home? I wanted to borrow your screen from the castle to watch the live-stream."
This was what happened. Near Brian's castle was Jesse's rented apartment. In order not to let others know about his complicated family matters, Brian had always claimed to be the butler of the castle.
After showing Jesse around the castle last time, he was very fond of the ten by ten meter private projection at Brian's house. He often came to the castle to watch movies with him whenever he was free.
Today, it so happened to be Celia's live stream. Jesse immediately wanted to go to the castle to watch the live stream, but he could not find Brian.
Why are you still watching the live broadcast at a time like this?
"The passcode key to the castle gate is six sixes. Take a look first. I'm busy. Bye!"
Brian was not in the mood to watch the live stream. He was at the live stream.
Looking back at Celia, who was still interacting with the audience, Brian could not help but cover his forehead.
"Oh my god! This evil and inappropriate live broadcast!"
