On Earth, in a province in China, a shirtless bald man suddenly jumped up from the bed and cursed: "Fuck! Why did I get a D-level rating again this time? I fell into a nightmare trial!"
He took his phone and looked at the time. He found several WeChat message reminders and clicked on them. A little impatience gradually appeared on his face.
That was his girlfriend, or according to his own words, it was Ma Zi whom he had just met, a female online writer with a bit of a literary flair.
At first he thought it was quite honorable, but by chance, he revealed during a chat that he had been reading pirated versions of novels, which got him into trouble.
The other party didn't dislike him either. Instead, he used his emotions to persuade him to "change his evil ways and return to the right path."
He became more and more impatient, and when he fell into a nightmare trial, he finally broke out.
"If everyone reads pirated copies, and you read pirated copies and I read pirated copies, writers will starve to death, and there will be no novels to read in the future."
"Hey."
With a sneer, he replied with eight characters.
‘There is always a bad guy who will read the original version!’
He turned off the phone and threw it away, then lay back on the bed.
"I want to see what this nightmare trial is!"
His vision blurred and then refocused.
After logging into the game, he looked around and found that he was in an inn when he logged off, but now after logging on, he ran into... a cave?
The next moment, he noticed something was wrong with his body and raised his hand to take a look.
What was raised was not a hand, but a furry paw... It seemed to be a bear paw?
It was a bit inconvenient to lower his head, but he still lowered his head a little, and then fell silent for a long time.
"Hoar(fuck)!"
After a muffled roar, he opened the properties bar.
[Nickname: Xiong Da (Qu Bufan)]
[Age: 49 years old]
[Level: Level 127 (two-star little demon)]
[Faction: Monster Clan]
[Nightmare Trial Goal:
Kill at least three human monks in the upcoming demon hunting trial and survive for six months]
"Hoo~ (Fuck! I turned into a bear?!)"
As if caused by the roar, a female bear demon moved clumsily towards the entrance of the cave.
Qu Bufan suddenly understood the meaning of the female bear: courting and making babies.
"..."
…
"Grandpa, are you at home?"
The sound comes first before anyone arrives. This is a characteristic of the times, and the maid Lan'er is used to it.
She wanted to open the door to tell him that Xia Yi was not there, but found that Xia Yi's door was open, and Xia Yi came out and waved to her, which made her step back in surprise and confusion. Didn't the old master go out?
When did you come back?
Xia Yi, who went to Lianjun's attic to blow the wind, returned home ten minutes ago, because he knew that Shi Lai would probably come looking for him next time.
Try the Holy Soul Discovery Card!
Sure enough, he came.
"I'm here, come in by yourself."
Suddenly, he pushed open the courtyard door and smiled at Xia Yi, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Grandpa can detect the detection technique, will this Holy Soul Exploration Card be discovered by him?
But Xia Yi is already the strongest person in the field he is familiar with. There are many holy souls that he is jealous of. If he can copy that flying holy soul...
Let’s do it! [Do you want to use the Holy Soul Exploration Card on Xia Yi and randomly copy one of his Holy Souls? Yes/No.]
yes!
[Someone is exploring your holy soul. You can choose a holy soul to let him complete the exploration, or you can refuse his exploration]
The prompt from the exploration system made Xia Yi narrow his eyes suddenly. While he was carefully observing Xia Yi's expression, his heart immediately started to lift.
Looking at the words 'Exploring' in front of me, I sometimes felt a little guilty and ran out of words to say: "Grandpa, we will gather the day after tomorrow to go to that Yanzhou Monster Hunting Ground. It will probably take a long time to practice. Can't you accompany me?
Are you going to accompany Zhou Xiaoxian?"
Xia Yi's narrowed eyes opened, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled and said: "Go."
It seems that he didn't notice it. Was the sun piercing his eyes just now? Shi Lai breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xia Yi while looking for something to say. He was a little distracted, waiting for the result of the exploration card.
Xia Yi was also a little distracted when he replied.
The use of this Holy Soul Exploration Card was just like when he was exploring other people's Holy Souls, there was no clue at all. If it weren't for the prompt, he really wouldn't have discovered it.
It was precisely this reminder that made Xia Yi confirm that the so-called Holy Soul Exploration Card was really in the same vein as his exploration system!
In the next prompt of the exploration system, there are dozens of pages of holy soul options!
The ones at the front are the holy souls that Xia Yi has mastered at a high level, followed by the holy souls that he has explored but failed to fully explore, or that he has not chosen to condense at all, ranging from six stars to one star.
Or nearly a thousand!
"What I haven't finished exploring can actually be..."
After a quick scan, Xia Yi tentatively selected a holy soul that was neither high nor low.
Exploring 20% of the four-star holy souls from Feng Shuhu, uprooting the weeping willows!
[Your Holy Soul Exploration Card has discovered a four-star Holy Soul: Uprooted Weeping Willow. The current exploration success rate is 25%. Do you want to use more Holy Soul Exploration Cards to increase the exploration success rate? 】
Shi Lai was startled and looked at Xia Yi secretly. Where does the old man still have this holy soul? Four stars, at first glance, it seems to be for brute force, not very good...
He tried it, adding one Holy Soul Exploration Card would give a 50% success rate, and using four cards would increase the success rate to 100%, but it was just not worth it.
Forget it, just 25%.
Try your luck!
[Ding! Exploration failed!]
An illusory card shattered in front of Shi Lai's eyes, and he cried sadly, wow, it's so difficult for me.
[Your four-star holy soul is being explored upside down from the weeping willow tree, increasing the exploration degree by 25%, and the current exploration degree is 45%] Such a prompt flashed in front of Xia Yi's eyes, which shocked his heart. This kind of holy soul exploration card,
Can you actually help me replenish those holy souls that are half-explored and have nowhere to go?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xia Yi's face and he asked Shi Lai, "What's wrong? You're worried about the demon hunting trial and you're suddenly so depressed?"
"Ah, no." Shi Lai quickly reorganized his mentality. A failure is nothing, just think of it as accumulating character for the next time.
Use another one!
This time Xia Yi chose instantly.
[Your Holy Soul Discovery Card discovered the Three-Star Holy Soul: The True Solution to the Sword. Since you have mastered the Three-Star Holy Soul’s True Solution to the Sword, your Three-Star Holy Soul’s True Solution to the Sword will add 300 experience points]
Huh? Shi Lai's eyes widened, and suddenly countless sword shadows flashed before his eyes. His understanding of the true meaning of kendo instantly climbed to several heights.
The True Knowledge of the Sword Dao was directly upgraded from level 7 of the first level to level 17 of the first level, which greatly increased the power of the holy soul in his body, driving him to directly upgrade two levels!
"Huh? Did you make a breakthrough?"
Xia Yi, who had gained 300 points of Free Holy Soul experience, asked with a normal expression.
"Ah, hey hey hey."
This time I don’t know whether I lost or made a profit. I thought about it and tried again!
[Your Holy Soul Exploration Card has discovered a six-star Holy Soul: seven in and seven out. The current exploration success rate is 13%. Do you want to use more Holy Soul Exploration Cards to increase the exploration success rate?
Wow! Six stars! Grandpa is so awesome!
Should I use more cards? If I use one card, it will increase to 13%. If there are two cards left, it will increase to 39%?
It’s less than 50%. If it fails, wouldn’t I explode? I was confused at times.
But the six-star holy soul, use... one more!
The success rate of 25% failed just now. After using another one to increase the success rate to 26%, the total is over 50%. I can do it!
If it doesn’t work, there is still one piece left to fight for character!
Sometimes I feel like this game is so exciting.
[Ding! Exploration successful!]
The two cards flew together and gradually formed a six-star card with the words "seven in and seven out" written in front of his eyes, and flew into his body!
[Your remaining holy soul stars that can be branded are insufficient, please disassemble the holy souls you already own appropriately]
"It's done!" Shi Lai jumped on the spot.
Xia Yi yelled: "I'm so scared, what happened to you kid today?"
Suddenly he made a sound, chuckled and scratched his head, "It's done, I have a six-star holy soul." He turned around and ran out happily, leaving behind a sentence that normal Xia Yi should not understand: "Thank you, grandpa!"
Xia Yi stood quietly for a moment, shook his head and smiled, watching as the exploration rate of the six-star holy soul that had been explored from Yue Ming increased to 28%.
