As if recalling a horrible experience, Gu Hao's butt hole clenched as he rapidly shook his head, "N-No thanks."
Pro glanced at his remaining time before awkwardly chuckling, "Well, I'm going to go then."
"Huh? Wait!" Gu Hao said with panic as he struggled to get up with the help of Lena and Beatrice.
Ignoring him, Pro waved his hands to re-open the apartment doors. Then, he disappeared through the wall, leaving the trio who glanced at each other in silence.
If it was normal times, Pro would still indulge in his guests, but he's a rich man now! He's got points to spend! Customer service can take a sh*t!
Hurrying into his bedroom, Pro then hopped up and down in excitement, "I'm rich! I hit the jackpot! It's so worth it!"
Pro hugged and twirl Alice in circles, causing her head to topple off again. Letting Alice's body fall back down to the bed, Pro picked up Alice's head and kissed her on the face, "Aww, Alice, why do you look so charming today?"
After reconnecting Alice's head to her body on the bed, Pro danced in excitement for ab it longer before he calmed down and stared at his points with shiny eyes. Holding back his urge to upgrade his level, Pro safely decided to repair his domain first, "Repair domain."
[Consuming 90 life points to repair the barrier of the domain ...]
[Domain barrier repaired. It is discovered there are damage in the objects bound to host's domain. Does host want to consume 30 life points to repair them?]
"Yes."
Although Pro felt that it wasn't necessary, he wanted to be completely safe for his level upgrade. He doesn't want a random straw to collapse the camel's back.
[Domain objects repaired.]
Seeing this, Pro took a deep breathe to prepare himself as he called up his level upgrade requirements.
[To upgrade host level, the following requirements must be met.]
[Requirements] Domain size of at least 4 small rooms, 2 medium room, 2500 life points
Checking and seeing that the level upgrade conditions were completely fulfilled, Pro then glanced at his 5340 life points before he anxiously commanded with a bit of anticipation, "Upgrade level!"
Ding~
[2500 life points has been consumed. Host Level has been upgraded to Low-Level Blood Spirit.]
[Yin Energy Capacity increased by 500 points].
[Host innate abilities upgraded.]
[Host gains new ability
[Host gains new ability
[Host gains new ability
[Host can now assimilate and carry host's possession object on host's body.]
[Host can now bring yin objects with the host while in ghost form.]
[Normal ghost abilities upgraded.]
[Resistance to sunlight increased to 10%.]
[Max physical form time has been increased to 10 minutes with no weakness unless exceeding full time.]
Pro's eyes sparkled as he felt an intense surge of power filling his body. His senses spread out and he could feel everything in his domain! He could perceive his entire domain as if he was looking down at it from above!
This sense gradually faded away as the power surge gradually faded away; however, Pro could still feel his strengthened body. Not only that, he felt that his senses were enhanced and he was able to sense the existence of the nearby Alice much more clearly even without actually looking. He spent a small amount of time to adapt to his new strength as he glanced at his updated status screen.

"Still so much points left, not bad! My physique is enhanced, and so are my senses. It seems that I can sense the yin qi of other spirits better now. Not only that, my other abilities are upgraded! Let's check out these upgraded abilities," Pro thought before he accessed the system library.
[Bathroom Illusion] Anywhere can be a toilet, even air! Give the target the illusion that they have entered the bathroom. The target will be temporarily confused on successful illusion cast.

Pro dully stared at some of his upgraded abilities while holding back the urge to curse at his new abilities. He glanced over some of them as his mouth twitched in disgust, but he could do nothing about them.
"At least I got some useful new abilities. The domain perception will definitely come in handy. As for the emotional service, I guess I now have a new way to earn points? But why must it be the feeling of disgust?! In novels, ghosts usually harvest the feelings of fear or despair, but I actually need the visitors to feel disgust? Uggg!" Pro couldn't help but complain before sighing, "Well, at least my main toilet abilities, for harvesting points, can now ignore resistance to some extent."
As he remembered the trio still in his domain, Pro decided to test out his
"It's kind of like the zoom in and out feature of a dungeon master game," Pro couldn't help but mutter, "But it seems this is only sight for now as there's no sound."
Pro watched as the trio discussed something before heading out of apartment 446; however, he did not know what they talked about. Zooming back out, Pro then zoomed in to his bedroom and saw himself standing there with eyes closed. He glanced around the room and with a thought, he was able to move some of the lighter objects!
"Cool, I can still move the objects around as long as I can perceive it. This will definitely come in handy ... not only that, it seems that my normal ghost ability's control over objects has increased!" Pro exclaimed in excitement as he picked up a small object with a simple thought, "I can now pick up and move objects as I wish!"
Glancing at the wardrobe, Pro tried to move it with his thoughts and felt a heavy resistance, but to his surprise, the wardrobe actually moved by a little! However, Pro felt his energy drained from doing this and checking his status revealed that it consumed over 100 energy just to make that small movement.
"Well, not as energy efficient as just moving it in my physical form, but maybe I will be able to do so easily in future upgrades," Pro concluded with a hint of anticipation as he imagined using a single thought to smash a wardrobe on an unsuspecting visitor.
"Hey? Are you still there?" Gu Hao's voice sounded from outside the bedroom.
Pro snapped out of his fantasies as he exited domain perception mode. Returning his senses to his body, Pro then poked his head through the wall of the bedroom to see the trio standing outside the doorway to apartment 444.
Seeing him, Gu Hao blinked his eyes as he hesitated a bit before asking softly, "Can we talk a bit before we leave?"
Pro scratched his head as he muttered, "Troublesome, but might as well."
Pro then switched to physical form so his voice can be heard, "Yo, what's up kid?"
Gu Hao glanced at Lena and Beatrice beside him before he softly grasped their hands. The trio then gave a bow to Pro as Gu Hao said, "Thank you for saving us ... this time and for last time, too."
Pro rolled his eyes as he replied, "Thank me with words? Is that it?"
Gu Hao looked up as his face flushed a bit while Lena and Beatrice glared at Pro as if he should be happy he got a thanks from their man. Gu Hao then stuttered as he gripped the girls' hands, "T-Then, what do you want? I ... I'm not giving them to you."
Pro rolled his eyes as he laughed out loud, "Dude, I'm a ghost, what would I need them for. It's better to leave them for you to play with."
The ladies' faces blushed as they heard.
"Shameless," Lena cursed softly before burying her face into Gu Hao's left arm while Beatrice gripped Gu Hao's right arm.
Gu Hao's face also flushed in embarrassment as he had a wry smile, "Hahaha ..."
Pro then stated his condition, "If you want to repay me, then don't mention anything about me in your report back to your department. As for the rest of the events, feel free to fill them in."
"This ..." Gu Hao went silent for a while before he glanced over as his eyes sharpened resolutely, "Did you kill any human beings before?"
Pro rolled his eyes as he reported truthfully, "Yes, I did."
The trio stepped back vigilantly as the atmosphere tense. Gu Hao frowned as he had inner turmoil.
Pro then chuckled before he continued, "Well, the ones I killed so far aren't innocent ones."
"Huh? Not innocent?" Gu Hao frowned as he glanced at Pro in confusion.
Pro nodded as he replied, "Yea ... hold on. Since you are going soon, I've got a gift for you."
Pro then walked into the kitchen under the confused eyes of the trio. He searched the drawer and pulled out an old, black cellphone. Walking to the doorway, Pro tossed the phone to Gu Hao, "Here, catch."
Gu Hao caught the phone in his hand and stared back at Pro in confusion.
Pro explained as he crossed his arms, "I killed a hitman from some Creed assassin organization and found that on his body. I noticed a mission in side that may interest you. The password is XXX."
Gu Hao frowned as he opened the cellphone and entered the password. He then stared at the task interface with curiosity. Lena and Beatrice also curiously peeked over.
"I'll just get you to the point. Check the currently accepted task," Pro stated.
Tapping on the task, Gu Hao read the description as his face slowly paled. He flipped to the page after and saw the familiar picture of his father. Gu Hao's hands trembled in shock as he gripped the phone tightly in anger. After spending a while to calm down, Gu Hao put away the phone before glancing at Pro with mixed feelings, "Why ... are you giving me this?"
Pro rolled his eyes as he replied with raised eyebrow, "Just take it as a bribe for keeping your mouth shut. How about it?"
Gu Hao stared at Pro solemnly before he promised, "I will."
"No problem," with a wave of his hands, Pro lifted the Jack's corpse into the air and brought it to the door, "And I believe you would want to give this man a proper burial."
Staring at Jack's corpse, the trio's eyes reddened as Gu Hao stepped forward and thanked with a hoarse voice, "Thank you. I'll take him from here."
Watching Gu Hao carrying Jack on his back once more, Pro chuckled as he turned around, "Alright, that should be it, so stay safe on the road home kids. The elevator is kind of sketchy, so take the stairs as it should be safe now. "
With a wave of his hands, Pro caused the door to shut while he hollered from inside, "Oh yea, remember to buy condoms!"
The trio's face suddenly turned red from embarrassment. Gu Hao glanced at the two ladies beside him as he said with a flustered voice, "L-Let's go."
The two ladies silently nodded as they followed him towards the stairway. Minutes later, Pro peeked out the window to see the trio safely leave the building. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally sent away the broom star. Although he brought me a big gift this time, I hope he never comes back. Hopefully, I managed to confuse him so that he recognizes me as a 'good' guy. If so, I won't end up with lowered IQ due to due to plot devices that curses the protagonist's enemy. As for whether I am a 'good' guy, I haven't killed non-innocent people so far, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future ... heh."
Plopping down on his chair and glancing at his bountiful points, Pro happily began to plan his future.
"It's time to conquer this floor."
