I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 19
Advertisement
The water ghost incident caused an uproar in the Special Department of the Bran Empire.
As the protagonist of the water ghost incident, Brian was naturally related.
The Special Department did not take the news seriously at first. They only wanted to find the creatures in the water and the missing people. However, after a thorough investigation, they found out that the water ghost had really disappeared. Combined with the livestream found by the information center, the higher-ups of the Special Department immediately locked onto the young man named Brian.
The Special Department had special privileges. They easily found Brian at the Bluefields College.
'D*mn! Am I going to some incredible place?!'
Everything went dark. Brian walked out and had his eyes covered in black cloth.
In the pitch-black darkness, he was helped onto a rumbling helicopter.
Brian now knew that the place they were going to was definitely not near. Otherwise, why would they use helicopters?
After about an hour, his vision cleared up.
Brian squinted around.
What greeted his eyes was an empty room with two tables and chairs facing each other. There was nothing around.
While Brian was looking around, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked in.
"Hello! I'm the captain of this special mission team, Victor! I'm sorry to meet you in this manner!"
"Handsome Brian! I'm still a student."
Brian took Victor's large calloused hands in a gentlemanly manner and suddenly felt a tremendous force begin to pass through them.
'Oh? Want to test my skills?'
Brian's smile did not falter and he used some force in his hand.
Victor felt as if he was holding a pair of iron pliers. He could not move it even if he tried his best.
After receiving the ten point physical strength reward from the system last time, Brian's physical strength had surpassed that of an ordinary human. The concentrated and explosive strength caused the robust Victor to flush.

"Hehe! Mr. Brianis a young hero! It's rare!"
Seeing Victor's flushed cheeks, Brian withdrew his hand.
"Haha! I've always liked to work out since I was young. I've trained myself to be quite strong. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
'You call this brute strength?'
'Even an athlete who had been practicing grasping since young might not be better than you.' Victor quietly hid his trembling right hand behind his back.
"Since Mr. Brian is so smart, I won't beat around the bush. The department hopes to obtain a reasonable explanation for the water monster live-stream."
Indeed, they had brought him here because of the water ghost.
Brian did not think that it was Celia's fault. After all, even if there had not been a mistake during the live-stream, he would still be exposed to the authorities in the future.
The officials were not fools. It was only a matter of time before they noticed him.
He would have to face it sooner or later, so why not let it come earlier? This way, he could also prepare for it!
"Explain? Mr. Victor, what kind of explanation do you want?"
"Firstly, did you destroy the water ghost? Secondly, how did you destroy it? I want to hear the details."
"You believe that I can destroy the water ghost? You have to know that there are many different opinions on this matter online. Many people are suspecting that I'm faking it. Aren't you afraid that my words are fake?"
"We're only responsible for understanding the situation. As for whether it's true or not, someone will naturally verify it. Besides, I believe that Mr. Brian won't lie here. At the very least, he won't lie in front of me. Am I right?"
Their gazes met and an invisible pressure arose spontaneously.
"Hahaha! Handsome Brian never lies."
Indeed, he was not lying. He was only keeping half of it as per usual.

Brian had already prepared his speech about the water ghost. It sounded logical and reasonable.
An hour later, Victor looked uncomfortable.
He looked at the young man who was blabbering in shock and asked in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth… Does that thing really work on ghosts?"
"Mm! I don't know if the rest are useful, but they are quite useful against water ghosts."
Brian did not reveal the System's ability, but in order to dispel the Victor or the people behind Victor's speculation, he also revealed some valuable information.
This also explained why a student like him could deal with a water ghost.
When he thought about how all the soldiers in the Special Forces would unlace their belts and kill their enemies when they carried out missions in the future, it was indeed a little strange.
Victor looked at the smile on the young man's face and suddenly felt a chill!
Bang! Creak, creak, creak!
At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open could be heard.
Brian smiled at the familiar high-heeled frequency.
"Fate brings us together from thousands of miles away. It's amazing that we can meet in such a big city like Gro City!"
He followed the footsteps.
Celia was ushered in by the soldiers.
A faint fragrance wafted over and the smile on Brian's face grew wider.
"My dear lady in high heels, may I have the honor to have dinner with you tonight? We can go to my castle. After we finish eating, we can watch an imported movie together!"
For some reason, every time he met Celia, he would always want to tease her.
At that moment, a pleasant ringing sound came from his pocket, interrupting their conversation.
"You are my Little Apple, no matter how much I love you, it's not enough…"1
Brian awkwardly pressed the answer button.
"Hey! I'm handsome Brian!"
"Celebrity Brian, have you seen the news today?"
Brian looked at the caller ID on his phone — Old Bu.He was a little confused.
This was indeed his cheap father. Why was there a female voice on the phone?
Also, this voice sounded familiar. What did it mean to let him watch the news?
"Selina?"
The other party did not reply and only left a sentence.
"I'll give you an hour to return to the castle. I'll wait for you there."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
After some hesitation, the call ended.
Because it was on speaker mode, everyone heard their conversation clearly.
Victor and the other soldiers were fine, except for Celia, who looked a little upset!
Brian was about to explain when Celia covered his eyes with a black cloth.
"You bastard, Mr. Brian. You have the best candidate for dinner now. Get lost!"
Under Celia's murderous gaze, several soldiers stepped forward to help Brian away.
Watching the young man leave, Victor said in a low voice, "Miss! Are we letting him go just like that? What about the next mission?"
Celia angrily took off her high heels, followed by the sound of two heavy objects hitting the wall.
On closer look, the high heels were like sharp blades that were embedded two to three centimeters into the wall. It was very scary!
Gulp! What had made this miss angry again?
"Hmph! I don't believe that we can successfully complete the mission even without him!"
"But…"
"No buts. Do you have a problem with what I do? If you have a problem with it, feel free to respond to the higher-ups!"
'But wasn't this person recommended by you?' Victor was depressed!
Celia coldly snorted. "Hmph! We'll settle that matter ourselves. Even without him, I can still settle it!"

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
