Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters Plunge the mortals weak in horrors; Arms of gods and blades of devils, Shroud the world in untold evils. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost. Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
Master Yuan Zheng nodded, and said proudly, "As long as you are prepared. Get ready, we are leaving soon."
"Alright then, what sacrifice do you want?" Lu Sheng talked mentally with the Wei River Sword. "What sacrifice do you usually have?"
"Slaves, criminals, beasts, livestock. I don't have a big appetite, so 20 or so people per year would do," the Wei River Sword said in a low and weary voice. "Can you not be so brutal? That squeeze hurt like hell. Why are you so strong, anyway?"
Lu Sheng ignored his questions, and again asked, "Any other options?"
"You could join the battle—the essence blood of Devils works even better. Three to five should do," the Wei River Sword added.
"Per year?"
"Per three years."
"Good." Lu Sheng nodded. The lesser the requirement, the less trouble he'd have to go through for sacrifices.
