I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Unlucky Player

Translator: 549690339

Noon, the staff cafeteria of the hotel.

At lunchtime, Su Nan was surprisingly unable to find Wang Chong.

This was a bit strange, since Wang Chong usually enjoyed sitting with him during meal times.

His eyes swept around, and after a moment he finally discovered Wang Chong in a corner.

At that time, there was a pretty-looking young girl sitting across from him.

Seeing this scene, Su Nan was initially stunned, followed by a sudden realization.

Eventually, he understood where Wang Chong got informations about Bai Mengmeng.

If his guess was correct, the girl sitting across Wang Chong was one of Bai Mengmeng’s roommates.

After the meal, Su Nan jokingly told Wang Chong: “You naughty boy, wasn’t it ‘Miss Bai or nobody1? Have you so quickly discarded your goddess?”

Wang Chong knew what Su Nan was referring to and let out an embarrassed chuckle: “Hehe, isn’t this all to gather information about Miss Bai?”

“So, what did you find out?”

“I found out that Miss Bai is going to form a game guild, she even has a name for it, it’s called the Dream Guild.”

“Dream?”

Su Nan nodded without saying anything further.

Afternoon.

Because a coworker in charge of external security had to take emergency leave, Su Nan had to temporarily fill in.

The duties of the hotel’s external security and internal security are greatly different – typically external security involves a fair amount of car parking service for customers.

Unexpectedly, in this process, he encountered an unexpected individual.

It was the middle-aged man who had battled with Li Xuheng yesterday.

“Bai Mengmeng, the 19th ranked player in the ranking list, daughter of the richest man in Donglin City….”

Food outside the hotel, Yang Zheng ponders over the information about Bai Mengmeng that he had collected today.

After finding out yesterday that Li Xuheng was killed by someone else, he immediately began investigating all the players in Donglin City.

There were only a dozen players in the first batch in Donglin City. Among them, Bai Mengmeng was undoubtedly the most dazzling.

At first, he even thought that the person who took action yesterday might be Bai Mengmeng, until he saw Bai Mengmeng’s ranking on the leaderboards and dismissed the suspicion.

Bai Mengmeng’s first Demon Sutra had only just reached perfection, and although she was only one step away from possessing in-game powers, this was enough to eliminate the suspicion on Bai Mengmeng.

However, he still couldn’t underestimate Bai Mengmeng.

After all, she was the strongest player in Donglin City apart from him, and as the person responsible for Donglin City, he would inevitably have to deal with her in the future.

Yang Zheng stepped into the hotel. He did not notice Su Nan glancing at him from afar.

Two hours later, Yang Zheng left the hotel, but there was no indication of what was discussed.

Night falls.

After returning home, Su Nan did not immediately log in to the game. Instead, he opened the game forum and began browsing.

The forum today was a million times busier than usual. The number of posts, which were only in the thousands before, had reached tens of thousands in just one day.

A large number of newly logged-in game players were active on there, even many normal people who aren’t game players couldn’t resist their curiosity and started to lurk around in the forum

“Is Deity Wang Nan there? I’m looking for a mentor!”

“Anyone has information about Deity Wang Nan? I’m willing to pay a high price!”

“Which difficulty level should I choose for the novice task? Need answers!”

Similar to the regional chat in the game, most of the player’s topics are focused on the leaderboards and novice tasks.

Su Nan noticed that, at the top of the forum discussions, there was a post about Blood Fusion Limits, and its reading volume had reached millions.

The post detailed the three main blood system regulations and how to reduce blood conflicts.

The surprising part was that the author of the post is the game’s official.

“As expected from the official, it would have taken regular players a while to gather such information.” Su Nan exclaimed.

He understood that the purpose of the official doing this is to prevent uncontrolled players from emerging.

This method does indeed work in the early stages of the game, but as the player’s in-game realm improves, loss of control is inevitable.

Unless the officials can later find a solution to the conflict of bloodlines.

He continued to flip through the posts.

Suddenly, a post caught his attention.

It was a plea for help posted by a player named “Chu Zhong”.

“What should I do if I start as a prisoner locked up with a demon? Waiting online, urgent!”

“Could there be players who have been randomized to Kun Tian Prison?” Seeing the title of the post, Su Nan immediately thought of his own prison, and couldn’t help becoming interested.

Kun Tian Prison is not a beginner’s map, up to now, the only one who started in that prison was him, Zhang Feng and his two companions were just later captured into it.

Clicking into the post, there were two game screenshots.

One of them was a screenshot of the in-game scene, which showed the player in a closed environment.

The second picture was a screenshot of the Task Panel.

These were three novice tasks.

[Novice Task One: Escape from Cell N0.6]

[Novice Task Two: Slay a Mortal-level demon]

[Novice Task Three: Kill a guard]

All three tasks were very familiar to Su Nan.

Tasks one and two were of 2 stars difficulty.

Unlike daily tasks, which only reward Demon Power, novice tasks award

Demon Sutra and Bloodline.

Seeing this, Su Nan could confirm that the cell this player was in was Cell 5 on the first floor of Kun Tian Prison.

“This player hasn’t completed the novice tasks yet, maybe we can make use of this.” Looking at the rewards in the screenshot task, he suddenly had a thought.

He could perhaps help the other party to complete the task!

Of course, it wouldn’t be for free.

He is currently short of bloodline and Demon Sutra, if he can get the other party’s task rewards, it could perfectly solve this problem.

And the other party can easily escape the cell, this is undoubtedly a win-win situation.

Of course, it also depends on whether the other party agrees or not.

Once the idea came up, Su Nan immediately registered a new account and replied to the other player’s post.

Hundreds of miles away from Donglin City, in a plush villa located in another city.

Li Hao looked at the information he had collected, his face growing even darker.

The moment the Game Bracelet of the demon world appeared yesterday, he immediately sniffed out the unusual nature of it and spared no expense to buy a Game Bracelet as soon as possible.

Last night at twelve o’clock, he logged into the game the moment the public beta test started.

When he found himself in a prison cell and had three-star beginner tasks spawned, he was pretty excited.

Having done his homework well in advance, he naturally knew about his extraordinary situation.

He thought his opportunity had come, but before he had time to figure out how to leave the cell, he was killed by the demon in the cell!

He only then understood that he was locked up with a demon!

Where is this good luck? His misfortune had reached the extreme!

“What should I do, even if I respawn and log in to the game again, I’m sure I’ll be killed by that demon again. What’s the difference between logging in to the game and sending myself to death!”

“The map I’m in could be a high-level map, ordinary players might find it hard to reach, we can’t expect others to save me in a short time.”

This was undoubtedly entering a dead-end cycle, there was no solution.

The more Li Hao thought about it, the more anxious he became. The survival task was fifteen days, once the time is up, if he hasn’t mastered a type of Demon Sutra, it means he will forever lose the qualification to enter the game. Just when he was all at sea, he suddenly noticed that someone had replied to the post he posted in the forum..
