Chapter 34: Second Floor of the Prison
"If I can get this character on the leaderboard as well and raise it to the top 100, or even the top 10, won't I be able to get two sets of rewards?"
Noticing his ranking at the bottom of the leaderboard, Su Nan couldn't help but be tempted.
The possibility was very likely since the leaderboard separated his two characters; it would inevitably calculate the rewards separately.
Perhaps even the death count was calculated separately for each of his characters.
He still has one chance to steal fate. If he uses that as well, does it mean that he can get three sets of rewards?
Thinking of this, he looks at the ranking list again, his eyes couldn't help but glow with excitement.
This task is great!
After a moment, he closes the rankings and enters the chat panel.
The chat panel is divided into four sections: [World Chat], [Regional Chat], [Friend Private Chat], and [Friend Management].
Su Nan tried to enter the World Chat but found that it was not yet available.
Helpless, he had no choice but to choose Regional Chat.
"This Demon World is too realistic! Is this actually a real world?"
"What's going on! My novice task actually has a three-star task? Aren't three-star tasks supposed to be extremely rare?"
"Are there any Great Gods in the top 10 of the leaderboard? Please be my guide!"
"The punishment for failing a survival task is too severe. If we fail, does that mean we won't have a chance to play this game again?"
...
The chat channel is bustling with activity, with messages flying by like a waterfall, making people's heads spin.
Naturally, the discussion revolved around the leaderboard and the punishment for failure.
As the current top-ranked player, Su Nan became the focus of everyone's attention.
Regarding this, Su Nan didn't pay any attention.
He opens the friend tab and, to his surprise, sees a dense list of friend requests.
Ignoring those, he takes a quick glance and then exits the chat.
Rotating the Life Wheel Scripture, he switches from Zhang Yang's character to his own.
Three daily tasks appear before him. The first and second tasks remain "Hunt down and kill a mortal-level demon" and "Kill a guard."
He is already very familiar with these two tasks.
Only for the third task, Su Nan sees it for the first time.
[Daily Task Three: Explore the Second Floor of the Prison]
Task Difficulty: Three stars
Task Reward: 15 Demon Points
This is actually a three-star level task!
A little unbelievable.
You know, the task to explore the first floor of the prison is just one-star, but when it comes to the second floor, it directly turns into three stars, with a huge leap in difficulty.
"Let's give it a try. What if this task isn't that difficult?"
He decides to try this task.
It's the same three-star task, but he feels that exploring the second floor of the prison is much more reliable than killing a guard.
The Wolf Demon Guard far exceeds mortal-level demons' strength, and there's a high chance that it is a higher level spirit-level monster, while the monsters imprisoned on the second floor are only spirit-level.
Compared to killing a spirit-level monster, exploring the second floor of the prison seems simpler in terms of difficulty.
Foreknowledge begins.
[Leaving the prison cell, you prepare to explore the second floor of the prison]
[Fortunately, you don't encounter any guards along the way, and quickly reach the end of the first floor of the prison, where there are stairs leading downward.]
[You carefully walk down the stairs, and soon, you notice that there are two guards standing at the end of the stairs.]
[The two guards also notice you, and are instantly attracted to you, quickly rushing towards you to grab you.]
[Facing the attack of two guards, you are not their match and don't even have the qualifications to resist]
[You're dead!]
"There are actually two Wolf Demon guards at the entrance to the second level!"
Su Nan finally understood why this was a three-star task.
He couldn't even deal with one Wolf Demon Guard, let alone two.
This task could even be reasonably classified as a four-star level!
"Oh right, I can morph into a Wolf Demon. What if I use the Wolf Demon's appearance to enter the second level of the prison?"
Just as he was about to give up on this task, he suddenly remembered his boneshifting ability and had an idea.
Boneshifting not only could change his appearance but also made him look like a demon. He had thought of using the Wolf Demon's appearance to sneak out of the prison before.
But this method had many problems. Firstly, would his disguised Wolf Demon be exposed? Secondly, not only were there powerful guards at the prison exit, but also a stone door.
Although he had the Kun Tian Key in his hand, it most likely couldn't open that door. The introduction of the Kun Tian Key was clear; it could only open the doors of the prison cells.
Although the keys might be on the Wolf Demons, he couldn't get them.
Of course, it was not ruled out that the door didn't need a key, or the key was on the demon guarding the stone door. Anything was possible, and it needed to be tried.
Now, heading to the entrance to the second level of the prison was different.
There were only two Wolf Demon guards there. As long as the two guards couldn't recognize his disguised Wolf Demon, it was possible to enter the second level of the prison.
The more Su Nan thought about it, the more feasible he felt this method was.
Without any hesitation, he immediately began the attempt.
Using boneshifting, his appearance began to change, with coarse, long hair growing out, and in the blink of an eye, his head turned into a Wolf Demon's
"This really is amazing!"
There was no discomfort; it was as if he had always looked like this.
Waiting for a minute for the Foreknowledge Talent to cool down, he immediately started the second foreknowledge.
[You transform into the appearance of a first-level Wolf Demon guard, planning to sneak into the second level of the prison in this disguise.]
[Leaving the cell, you accidentally encounter a person in front of Cell 32. It's Zhang Feng, whom you met in Cell 19.]
[Zhang Feng sees you and turns to run. To avoid suspicion, you hesitantly decide to act according to the behavior of the Wolf Demons and kill Zhang Feng.]
[You chase after him. As Zhang Feng doesn't get very far, you easily block and kill him as he's no match for you.]
"Zhang Feng? He left Cell 19?"
Seeing Zhang Feng appear in his foreknowledge information, Su Nan was very surprised.
Since he casually refused Zhang Feng last time, Zhang Feng hadn't approached him.
He thought that this guy knew he couldn't escape Cell 19 and was just waiting for Zhou Cheng to rescue him.
But unexpectedly, he did manage to leave Cell 19.
[You continue on your way and quickly reach the entrance to the second level of the prison.]
[The guards watching the second level see you and do not attack you but question why you entered the second level.]
[You come up with an excuse, but the two guards don't let you in, telling you that besides detaining prisoners, first-level guards are prohibited from entering the second level.]
[Out of options, you decide to barge in. Your actions violate the prison's rules, and the two guards attack you.]
[You're dead!]
He didn't even see any flaws in his disguise."
At the end of the foreknowledge, Su Nan's eyes shone brightly.
This foreknowledge gave him a pleasant surprise. First and foremost, his boneshifting could deceive the guards.
With that, he had a lot more room to operate.
"Apart from detaining prisoners, first-level guards are forbidden to enter the second level. In that case, why not just find a prisoner?"
In theory, the second level of the prison should detain Spirit Level demons, but there should be exceptions.
He remembered that when escaping from Cell 19, the Wolf Demon guard had tried to send him to the second level of the prison on the charge of deliberately making noise.
This showed that if a first-level prisoner violated the prison rules, they could be sent to a higher level cell.
"What's so hard about finding a prisoner? There's one in the corridor right now!"
