The buyback price of the Life-replacing Talisman was 250,000 Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao was instantly ten thousand parts dissatisfied, and said, "Fuck! The shop price is 500,000 Pretentiousness Points, why are you buying it back for 250,000 Pretentiousness Points, that’s slashed in half."

System: "Would you buy a used car at new-car price, Host?"

Alright then, even Brother Hao was left speechless.

"Recycle it."

"Ding... Host has recycled the Life-replacing Talisman and obtained 250,000 Pretentiousness Points."

But 250,000 Pretentiousness Points was already quite a lot.

Chu Hao planned to use 200,000 to upgrade his Curse Mark.

It was about time to upgrade this thing.

Chu Hao said, "System, upgrade the Silver Bone Curse Seal."

System upgrade: "To upgrade the Silver Bone Curse Seal to the Golden Bone Curse Seal, the Host must provide all Curse Marks in his possession: six Fifth-order Broken Seals, fifty to sixty Fourth Stage Curse Marks, one hundred eighty Third-order Seals, and additionally pay 200,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding... remaining Pretentiousness Points: 50,000."

"Ding... Host has obtained the Golden Bone Curse Seal."

Item: Golden Bone Curse Seal (Fifth Level, top grade)

Rarity: ★★★★★★ (six stars)

Ability: Upon activation, skin, flesh, and bone are transformed, Golden Bone Curse Marks appear over the body, Defense x20, Strength x10, Awareness x10.

Note: (With the Host’s current strength, it can only be maintained for ten minutes.)

Note: (The Golden Bone Curse Seal can continue to be upgraded; next stage: Golden Bone Body.)

The Silver Bone Curse Seal was 5x defense, 5x strength.

The Golden Bone Curse Seal boosted strength and awareness both by 10x.

Defense was actually 20x.

Do you have to be this flashy!

Even Chu Hao felt this thing was a bit broken. It didn’t need Mana Points, didn’t need Yin Yang Force; as long as he activated the Curse Mark, his defense was basically invincible.

Chu Hao said oddly, "It can keep upgrading, so what’s this Golden Bone Body?"

The System explained, "The Golden Bone Curse Seal will no longer be a Curse Mark, but will instead become a part of the Host’s body."

Chu Hao was stunned. Become part of his own body—that meant, at any time, he would be Golden Bones?

Your sister!

That broken?

This was straight up the Invincible Hulk!

Chu Hao said, "System, what are the upgrade requirements?"

System: "The Host must advance to the rank of Little Pretentious King, possess three Sixth Stage Curse Marks, fifty Fifth Level Curse Marks, and additionally pay 1,000,000 Pretentiousness Points."

He’d fucking screwed the dog.

"The requirements are actually that high, System why don’t you just go rob someone." Chu Hao complained.

One million Pretentiousness Points was enough to give him a headache, and on top of that, three Sixth Stage Curse Marks.

Up to now, he hadn’t even seen a Sixth Stage Curse Mark. The Curse Marks in the Fengdu auction house topped out at Fifth Level.

He opened his Underworld Mobile Phone and dug through the historical records for ranked Sixth Stage Curse Marks.

Sure enough, there really were ranked entries.

However, the prices—

One transaction record for 1 billion Underworld Currency.

Another transaction record for 1.1 billion Underworld Currency.

Touching his pockets, Chu Hao sighed, "For three pieces, that’s at least 3 billion Underworld Currency. Damn it, I’d have to refine a thousand True Yang Thunderballs."

Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke.

Chu Hao finally understood. Even if he scrimped and saved now, wanting to upgrade to Golden Bone Body was like a loser dreaming of being a tycoon.

...

The incident of Chu Hao humiliating Lǚ Bù in the auction house had completely blown up.

That willful act of his had gone straight onto Underworld news.

"Shocking your eyeballs, a willful tycoon appears in the auction house, raises the bid 3 million just for a single comment!"

"Showing off till your scalp tingles, the high-profile tycoon like you’ve never seen before."

"A living man rampaging through the Underworld, bet you haven’t seen that."

All sorts of headlines—Chu Hao directly made the Underworld front page.

Inside the villa, Luan Yu said excitedly, "My lord, you’re completely on fire."

"What’s on fire?" Chu Hao had just walked out of his room when Luan Yu ran over.

Luan Yu pulled out his phone and said, "Look, you’re already on the front page."

Chu Hao took a look and thought to himself this Underworld news front page was pretty much the same as Weibo in the Yang Realm, the traffic was insanely high.

Luan Yu was full of worship, and at the same time worried for Chu Hao—after all, the one he’d offended was General Lǚ Bù.

Unexpectedly, Chu Hao slapped his thigh and said, "Well then! Ride this wave of heat and cash in!"

Luan Yu had thought too much. Chu Hao wasn’t worried about Lǚ Bù coming after him at all; instead, he wanted to ride this wave of popularity and get his name out.

What was this lord planning again?

Chu Hao searched around and found that a lot of Underworld celebrities were on one app—Hall of Fame.

Among them, the Underworld star Qiu Muhuan also had a verified account. On Hall of Fame, she had over 300 million followers.

Fuck!

Over 300 million followers—way hotter than those celebrities in the Yang Realm.

Chu Hao also registered an account, and very quickly, Hall of Fame staff called to verify his identity.

"Hello! Mr. Chu Hao, you’ve met the criteria for Hall of Fame and can be verified and added to the Hall."

After that, Chu Hao’s account was verified.

Chu Hao posted a message.

"Do you want to become a legion General? Want to show off your might on the Manggu Battlefield? Want to become famous overnight and have beauties throwing themselves into your arms? Then you’ve come to the right person—Custom General service, broke-ass losers keep out, phone 157XXX."

As soon as Chu Hao posted, the followers on this verified account skyrocketed.

"Ding... Host has shown off unexpectedly and gained 7,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"The willful tycoon has appeared."

"Holy crap, he actually has the mood to run ads, this wave is 666..."

"Living man, do your family know how you’re showing off in the Yin Realm?"

"This ad saying ’broke-ass losers keep out’, what do you mean by that? I feel like grabbing a knife and hacking him."

"+1, my broadsword is already sharpened, let’s go hack Chu Hao together."

The moment the account posted, it instantly drew a huge wave of attention.

In just a few minutes, follower count hit a hundred thousand.

Even Chu Hao was surprised, and said, "The Yin Realm’s internet is way scarier than the Yang Realm’s."

"My lord, my! My phone’s blown up with calls, what’s going on?" Luan Yu’s phone had been ringing nonstop since just now.

Chu Hao coughed dryly and said, "I just posted your number on Hall of Fame."

Luan Yu almost fainted.

Chu Hao said, "Alright, get all Nine Hundred Netherworld Soldiers moving, you’ve got work now."

"Ah? Doing what?" Luan Yu was completely confused.

"Taking clients, otherwise what do I feed you lot for?" Chu Hao said.

Luan Yu was utterly speechless.

After that, all Nine Hundred Netherworld Soldiers got busy, took off their armor, and started taking orders, making calls all over the place. They basically turned into customer service reps.

However, the effect was pretty decent. In just half a day, they got a total of twenty orders.

You had to know, Chu Hao was charging 3 million Underworld Currency per orb—twenty orders was another 60 million Underworld Currency.

After raking in 60 million Underworld Currency, Chu Hao discovered he didn’t have that many living Corpse Monsters left on him.

He posted another ad, offering to buy Corpse Monsters at five times the previous price!

However, he found that no one was providing Corpse Monsters. Rich people preferred to spend money, and the poor couldn’t produce that many Corpse Monsters.

Chu Hao sighed. Resources were still not enough.
