BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - 73: Goodbye, Novice Task
At a glance of his Personal Information Panel, just like when he first received Zhang Yang’s character, all the Demon bloodlines had disappeared.
What was different this time, however, was that because he was a member of the Skywolf Clan, he had gained a racial talent of Skywolf Clan.
[Prompt: Loss of bloodline and Demon Sutra detected, you can choose to fuse with a new secret power bloodline.]
[Prompt: Detection of your cultivation of the ancient Life Wheel Scripture, personal information has been updated.]
[Prompt: Detection of your possession of the technique of Boneshifting, personal information has been updated.]
[Prompt: Detection of your talent to foresee the future, personal information has been updated.]
[Prompt: Detection of your 37 points of usable demon power, personal information has been updated.]
Su Nan was not surprised by seeing a series of prompts popping up and his personal information panel changing greatly.
With his previous experience, Su Nan’s eyes lit up when he saw the first prompt. “As expected, the Wolf Demons don’t belong to the physique series but to the secret power system.”
After several fights with Wolf Demons, he had long discovered the difference in their abilities.
The power of the Wolf Demons could penetrate his internal organs and cause damage to him.
“Physique series, Secret Power system, law-controlling class, now I can fuse with bloodlines from all three systems!”
He was excited. Each system had its advantages and disadvantages, but mastering three systems allowed him to make up for the shortcomings of a single system, greatly increasing his combat options.
Moreover, a character in the same realm could fuse with four different bloodlines. As he was three characters now, it meant that he could fuse with twelve bloodlines!
“How powerful would twelve bloodlines be?” Su Nan’s breath quickened a little.
With just five bloodlines fused, he could already fight Spirit-level Monsters. He could not imagine how powerful he would become if he fused with twelve bloodlines!
He feared that by then, even if he did not break through to the Spirit Level, slaying Spirit-level Monsters would be a piece of cake, perhaps even capable of going beyond the Spirit Level and fighting Xuan-level Monsters!
“If I could fuse all twelve bloodlines before the demons arrive and advance them to Great Perfection, would I be able to fight the demons?”
He thought of the Mainline Task again, and at that moment, he saw hope in completing the task.
If others knew about Su Nan’s thoughts, they would be utterly shocked.
With only eight days remaining, it’s impossible to even fuse with three more bloodlines, let alone seven.
However, for Su Nan, it might not be impossible.
As long as the character “Lang Thirteen” also had daily tasks.
“There must be daily tasks!”
Taking a deep breath, he opened the task list.
[Prompt: Unknown error occurred, novice tasks have been refreshed.]
[Please select and complete any of the following tasks to unlock daily tasks and mainline tasks.]
[Novice Task 1: Patrol the first floor of Kun Tian Prison]
Task Difficulty: One-star
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline.
[Novice Task 2: Slay a Mortal-Level Outsider]
Task Difficulty: One-star
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline.
[Novice Task 3: Hunt the Infiltrator]
Task Difficulty: Two-star
Task Reward: Mortal-Level Bloodline, Mortal-Level Demon Sutra.
[Note: Tasks refresh daily, the selection and completion of novice tasks will directly affect the unlocking of subsequent mainline tasks and daily tasks, please choose carefully.]
“Novice tasks!”
Su Nan was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to realize something, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Clearly, in the game’s judgment, the character Lang Thirteen was deemed as a “new account”!
Last time, Zhang Yang’s character didn’t have any novice tasks because he had already completed them.
Compared to the appearance of novice tasks, the most unexpected thing for Su Nan was the three tasks themselves.
“Hunt players? The task actually asks me to actively hunt players!” Su Nan was astonished.
After seeing the Personal Information Panel, he was almost certain that the character Lang Thirteen could also receive tasks.
But he never expected that the task would be to hunt players.
This was simply unbelievable.
However, thinking about it, he understood.
Humans want to hunt demons, and demons want to hunt humans too.
When he played as a human, the main tasks were focused on hunting demons.
Conversely, when he played as a demon, hunting humans was quite natural.
Understanding this point, Su Nan’s eyes sparkled.
Compared to hunting demons, hunting players was much easier.
“I must not let anyone know about my ability, or I’ll become public enemy number one!”
Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down.
He then looked at the three tasks again.
The first task was not worth mentioning, patrolling the prison’s first floor with a difficulty of only one star, which he didn’t care about.
The second task was also one star, and even though it required him to hunt players, he had no interest.
The only task that caught his attention was the third one.
“Hunt the Infiltrator. So someone infiltrated Kun Tian Prison?” Su Nan was surprised and then thought of someone.
Zhou Cheng!
If the infiltrator in the task was a player, it was highly likely to be Zhou Cheng.
Although there were other players like Zhang Feng in Kun Tian Prison, they were not considered infiltrators but prisoners in the context of the prison.
“A two-star task isn’t too bad, I’ll take it.” Su Nan didn’t hesitate and accepted the task.
Like the Mainline tasks, Novice tasks had detailed introductions, and the introduction appeared on the panel as soon as the task was accepted.
[Novice Task: Hunt the Infiltrator)
[An Outsider had invaded Kun Tian Prison yesterday. Find and kill him.]
“It really is Zhou Cheng!”
The task introduction was simple but already enough. Su Nan was now too percent sure that the infiltrator was Zhou Cheng.
Only Zhou Cheng had the ability to infiltrate the prison.
“This task is not urgent. Players can log in and out, and Zhou Cheng might not be online now.”
“First, let’s advance the Lightning Sutra to Great Perfection.”
Switching back to Zhang Yang’s character and seeing the 37 points of Demon Power, he immediately chose to upgrade.
Consuming 26 points of Demon Power, he directly upgraded the Lightning Sutra from Great Accomplishment to Great Perfection!
He still had 11 points of usable Demon Power left.
The number of times he could use his Talent to Foresee the Future increased again, reaching 8!
Checking the ranking list, his rank unexpectedly became fifth!
“Look at the ranking list, the fifth place has changed to someone named Zhang Yang.”
“Zhang Yang? I remember him. A few days ago, he jumped from beyond 500th place to over 200th, then yesterday moved up to nth place. I never thought he’d reach the fifth place today.”
“From beyond 500th place to fifth place in just a few days? Where did this dark horse come from?”
“Great God! This is a Great God! What are those Luck Children compared to him? They’re nothing!”
“Begging for Zhang Yang Great God’s friend position!”
The moment Zhang Yang’s character appeared as the fifth on the ranking list, the game’s regional chat channel exploded with players exclaiming about Zhang Yang’s upgrading speed.
However, no one knew that Su Nan was not satisfied with this rank.
“Only fifth place? My goal is the top three!”
He shook his head slightly. He still had Demon Power, but there were no bloodlines and Demon Sutras left for him to upgrade.
Helplessly, he activated the Life Wheel Scripture, switched his character back to Lang Thirteen, and focused on the Novice tasks again.
“I wonder if Zhou Cheng has logged into the game or not.” After using the Boneshifting technique and transforming back into a Wolf Demon, he left the prison cell.
Su Nan didn’t know that in the corridor outside the cell, Zhou Cheng was also looking for him..
