Remarkable Ghostbuster System

Chapter 5 The Encounter

As they walked to the restaurant, Robert submitted the random task.

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 10 points!"

"Congratulations to the host for receiving 50 experience points!"

“Congratulations to host for acquiring a ghost servant!"

Robert was puzzled about the ghost servant.

The system said, "The ghost servant module can only be activated when the system reaches the fifth level. It is temporarily unable to explain the purpose of the module to the host. The system is on the first level, and the experience value is full. Do you want to upgrade the level?"

"Of course!"

The ghost servant module looked a bit useless, so Robert left it behind.

"The system upgrades successfully!"

The property panel of the system also opened.

Host: Robert Martin

System level: 2 (50/500)

Available Points: 1011

Acquired Exorcism (Array): None

Items possession: Excellent-level cross, ghost hunting kit, 999 pieces of Fiery Rune

“Congratulations on upgrading the system to Level 2. Reward: Space Backpack”

The series of beeping sounds were starting to annoy Robert, but he figured it was part of the deal. He checked on the capacity of the Space Backpack.

Level: Divine

Capacity: Can hold everything

Enchantment: Not Yet

The short description shocked Robert. This was exactly the same as the Space Ring in fantasy novels, not to mention that it was a Divine-level instrument.

Robert quickly equipped the system inventory with Space Backpack.

"The system has detected that the host already has a physical backpack, and now the ability of the Space Backpack is transferred to the physical backpack!"

Suddenly, Robert felt that the camouflage backpack he was carrying was

much lighter. With this Space Backpack, it wouldn’t confuse others when he wanted to take things from the system.

Robert was overjoyed and ordered, "The system, convert all points into cash and store them in the Space Backpack!"

"The exchange has been completed. Money in possession: $10.11 million!”

Robert patted his backpack, suppressing his excitement. He was now on top of the social pyramid, but he was still far from reaching his goal. He wanted to stand at the tip of the pyramid and looked down on all the people.

When they entered the restaurant, Robert glanced around and whispered, “This is what a noble school should be like! The restaurant looks exquisite, I wonder what the food tastes like!”

"What would you like to eat? It is my treat,” Abby said with a softer tone than before.

Robert looked over the menu but could hear someone talking about him.

One of the men said, "Anthony, did you hear about what happened earlier today? Miss Bush brought a weak and rustic man to catch ghosts but Bruce refused to let him enter the school. A fight ensued and the man knocked Bruce down, I saw it with my own eyes!”

Anthony Long, looked at the thin man across from him, “He knocked Bruce down? Good for him! If it weren’t for the fact that his brother is the Dean of Academic Affairs, I would do the same! The kid you were talking about might only know tricks thought. It will be a piece of cake to deal with him. William, let's talk about Miss Bush, you know that I love her. She is so much better than those chicks in the nightclub. I need to get her!”

The large man with a round belly, and a gold chain around his neck that was long enough to walk a dog, pulled out a cigar.

William chuckled, and just as he was about to say something else, he saw Robert sitting beside them. He was stunned, pointing to Robert and shouting, "Mr. Long, that's him! He is that ghost hunter; his name is Robert! Miss Bush is having dinner with him!"

The commotion attracted everyone’s attention, including Abby.

Anthony turned his head, stood up and slammed his hand down on the table, “s**t! I haven’t even had dinner with Miss Bush. How dare he do so?”

He cursed in a low voice, waved at William and walked straight over to Robert.

Mr. Long was looking for trouble, but Robert grinned at him, not worried in the least.

"Go, let's go somewhere else to eat. Anthony has been harassing me for a long time, and I really don’t want to talk to him. His father is the largest real estate agent in New York, so I really can’t afford to offend him,” Abby said embarrassed.

She was about to get up and leave but Robert said, “What are you afraid of? I am here and he can’t do anything to you!”

Anthony was standing beside the table, his mouth twitching and not saying a word. He took out his wallet and slapped a handful of money down on the table, “Boy, I will give you $100,000. Take the money and get out of here, this seat is mine!”

Robert didn’t move, the students that were near them started to wonder if he would take the money. One said, “He’s just a poor man so he will definitely take it! Even though he hit Bruce, he is still a nobody. He would carry favor with Anthony!”

Looking at the money on the table, Robert disrespectfully shrugged and said nothing.

"What? You think it is too little?" Anthony frowned. He could give Robert more, the $100,000 was just pocket change to him but he was not going to compromise.

William was behind him and took out another stack of bills, “Boy, I will give you another $100,000 to get out of here! You should really think about this before it goes any further!”

Robert smiled and said playfully, "That's all you are willing to give me?”

Anthony and William were shocked that Robert would be so confrontational. Anthony was furious and slapped Robert in the face. As the son of New York real estate tycoon Gilbert Long, he had been tyrannical since he was a child. He would not put up with being treated so rudely, "Damn it! Since you won’t take the money, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy!"

Suddenly, he slapped Robert again.

Abby was getting upset, “What do you want him to do? He is my guest!”

"s**t! He is just a poor guy!" William shouted and spit in Robert’s face.

Anthony looked kinder immediately when he stepped toward Abby. As he caressed her smooth shoulders, he whispered in her ear, “Miss Bush, as long as you are willing to sleep with me for one night, I can give you more than the $200,000; let’s say $2,000,000?!”

As Anthony’s hand slid down Abby’s shoulder toward her breast, tears rolled down her cheeks. Abby was humiliated and felt totally embarrassed by the scene that was unfolding.

There was a loud snap and then Anthony began to wail. He spun his head toward Robert and snarled, “Oh, f**k! You really dare to hit me?”

At that moment, Robert took a large wad of cash out of his camouflage backpack.

“What are you going to do with that?” Anthony questioned.

Robert slapped him across the face with it and then Anthony yelled, “What the hell you got a lot of nerve hitting me with my own…”

However, before he could accuse Robert of taking his money, he saw that it was still laying on the table. He didn’t understand where he got it from. Anthony began to sweat, and feel a strong sense of fear from the young man in front of him.

Robert threw the money on the ground and said, "Your money?"

Then he took out another stack of money from his bag and threw it at William.

William froze with fear, he never expected that Robert would have such strength.

"How about we play a game?" Robert pulled out $2,000,000 from his backpack and lined it up on the table, “I will give you one hundred thousand for each slap! I will not stop until your face is swollen. The money here is just for the warm-up!”

He picked up the cash and hit both Anthony and William. They were so scared that they didn’t even try to protect their face. The amount kept jumping up; $500,000 then $1,000,000 then $1,500,000 and then $2,000,000. The onlookers counted up as high as $3,500,000.

Each time Robert would throw the used money to the ground after slapping their faces. Cash was laying all over the floor and both Anthony’s and William’s faces were swollen, they were screaming in pain. Finally, Anthony said, “Don’t use the money! Use your hands or are they broken?”

The total hit $3.6 million and Robert slapped Anthony with a great deal of force. He fell to the ground, crying and screaming with pain.

"Hands? Sorry, I feel kind of dirty, " Robert looked down at Anthony and said.

Then, he grabbed Abby's hand and left the restaurant, everyone was in complete shock.

"Let's go somewhere else. I feel sick with two dirty men here!”

William was furious and pointed to the money, “It’s fake! The money has to be fake!”

Someone grabbed the forgery detector from the cash register. After checking a few of the bills, he shouted, “It’s real! The money is real! All $3,600,000 is real!”

Anthony couldn’t believe it, he was still stunned as William helped him up.
