In the dorm room, Nathan Lin looked at Coco and glanced at her panel.
Ghost Spirit: Coco
Level: Normal-Grade (Level 1)
Potential: Two Stars (5%)
Experience: 215/500
Ability: Red Skirt
Ghost Technique: Undefined
Bond: 101
"Looks like when Coco transforms into her red skirt, her combat power must at least increase by one tier," Nathan Lin thought.
Coco was still staring at him blankly, her expression unchanged.
Nathan Lin stretched out his hand, wanting to pet her small head.
But... he didn't touch anything.
Coco had no physical form.
"You touched Coco's head, Ghost Spirit Experience +5, Bond +1."
The system's voice rang out.
Again?
Nathan Lin touched her again, but this time, no system prompt appeared.
"Only once," Nathan Lin thought.
It seemed that casual interaction with Coco also granted experience. Though it was only 5 points at a time, and possibly only once per day, it added up over time.
"Coco, want to eat?" Nathan Lin asked.
Since he now knew that even daily interactions could earn experience, Nathan Lin began to think of ways to rack up more.
Coco didn't respond.
Nathan Lin wasn't bothered, so he tried again.
Through his efforts, Nathan Lin discovered that even though Coco didn't have a physical form, he could still earn quite a bit of experience.
For instance, watching TV with her also granted 5 experience and 1 bond.
Telling her a story did the same.
Of course, it was only once per interaction.
Singing a children's song had a similar effect.
After an hour or so, Nathan Lin had accumulated 50 experience points and 10 bond points!
50 experience points were a lot. If no new task came up, it wouldn't take long for Coco to level up just from this daily grind.
"Shower, sleep."
After a good hour of interaction, it was getting late.
Nathan Lin went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Just as he undressed, he noticed Coco had followed him inside.
"Coco, go back," Nathan Lin said.
Coco immediately disappeared into the bowtie.
Nathan Lin took a comfortable shower and went to bed.
When he slept, he placed the bowtie on his pillow.
This was also a way to increase the bond with his Ghost Spirit. Once someone obtained a Ghost Taming Object, they had to carry it with them at all times.
What if it was lost?
If lost and not found again, the person would be considered a normal human with no second chance.
Unless they were one of the rare people born to be a Ghost Tamer.
The next day, Nathan Lin woke up and put the bowtie on, planning to rest for the day.
Tomorrow, he would head to the Outer City, and he likely wouldn't have the chance to return to school for a while, so he planned to take a walk around the school.
"Nathan Lin, I heard you're a Ghost Tamer now. Congratulations!"
On his way out, a few students approached him, offering their congratulations.
"I heard that out of thousands of students across multiple schools, only a little over 300 became Ghost Tamers. That's a low success rate."
"I also heard about the 20-odd students who lost control and killed dozens of people."
"Is that true? You guys heard? Our school had three students lose control as well. Two were handled by Ghost Tamers, and the last one, guess who handled it?"
"Who?"
"A student named Nathan Lin. I heard he just awakened his Ghost Spirit yesterday. Impressive, huh?"
"Wow, that's really something!"
"Wonder how we'll do next year."
"Look, there he is—Nathan Lin!"
As Nathan Lin walked a little further, he overheard a group of students talking about him.
Immediately, many of the surrounding students turned to look at him.
Soon, Nathan Lin realized that a lot of people knew about him subduing the out-of-control Ghost Spirit yesterday, and he had already become a celebrity at the school.
"You took your Ghost Spirit Coco for a walk for an hour, Ghost Spirit Experience +5, Bond +1."
After Nathan Lin returned to his dorm, he got another system prompt.
As expected, any activity with Coco earned experience.
Using the rest of the day to relax, Nathan Lin managed to rack up several dozen experience points.
"New Task: Head to the Outer City and become an official Ghost Tamer. Task reward: Experience 20, Ghost Spirit Potential +1."
The system's voice echoed early the next morning.
"Off to the Outer City."
The system added.
Nathan Lin packed up his things and arrived at the school gates.
Dozens of students had already gathered there, all from the school, having successfully awakened their Ghost Spirits yesterday.
"Look, Nathan Lin's here!"
Before Nathan Lin could even get close, he was surrounded by students, who all seemed to know about his feat.
Each one looked at him with wide eyes filled with amazement.
"Beep-beep~"
A dilapidated bus rolled up.
"Get on the bus."
A man in a full cloak spoke in a hoarse voice.
The students hurried onto the bus.
"Brother Lin, sit here."
A voice called out from the bus.
Nathan Lin turned to see it was the chubby student from his class—the one whose Ghost Taming Object was a severed finger.
Nathan Lin gave the student a quick glance before picking an empty seat and sitting down.
Just as he sat, Nathan Lin noticed the bowtie's reaction.
"Is there a ghost?"
Nathan Lin looked over to the side and noticed a person sitting beside him who seemed... eerily off. They didn't look human at all!
"Ah! There's a ghost!"
Another student cried out from the back of the bus.
"Don't freak out. There are ghosts all around the Outer City. These are just daily-grade ghosts, no hostility, no harm. Don't worry about them. They help you get used to the life in the Outer City,"
The man in the cloak said with a dismissive tone.
