Chapter 246: The Yin-Yang Crossover Plate

As soon as the final human crisis mission began, Su Nan relentlessly slaughtered the demons with his utmost strength.

Even his avatar, in the form of Wang Nan, showed no mercy as he wreaked havoc.

During this process, some Spirit-level demons became the unfortunate victims of his mission completion.

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task "Hunt a Spirit-level demon," and 15 Demon Power has been awarded.]

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task "Hunt a Profound-level demon," and 30 Demon Power has been awarded.]

...

The notifications for completing four consecutive tasks appeared in front of his main body and avatar, earning him a total of 90 Demon Power. His available Demon Power had now reached 291 points.

"That's some terrifying fire! It seems the person who saved us yesterday was Zhang Yang!"

In a nearby battlefield, a woman named Xu Yulan, an official figure, hunted demons alongside several Spirit-level players while keeping an eye on Su Nan's actions.

"It should be him. If the person yesterday was Lang Shisan, he should have appeared by now."

"Just two breaths, and he killed four Profound-level demons. How can he be so powerful when he's only at the Profound-level early stage?"

Even though they knew that both Zhang Yang and Wang Nan had the ability to fight beyond their levels, seeing Su Nan easily slay Profound-level demons left them astonished.

Xu Yulan stared at Su Nan and said, "The stronger he becomes now, the better! I hope he has the ability to kill King-level demons!"

"In two days, the game will partially merge with reality. Only with his help do we have a chance to survive this calamity."

As a large number of demons and players clashed, chaos reigned on the battlefield.

In the first mission, during the second closed beta, many new players were mere cannon fodder without any combat abilities. In the second mission, the players were mere spectators. However, this time, the player participation was at its peak.

Su Nan gave it his all, utilizing every possible means at his disposal, including racial talents.

He also didn't waste the demon corpses he had killed; he collected all of them.

Three minutes passed quickly.

By this time, under the relentless assault of the demons, as Su Nan had predicted, his two characters had each killed over twenty Profound-level demons.

Unlike the previous mission, where he had killed a greater number of demons with each character, this time, while the overall number was lower, the majority were Profound-level mid-stage and late-stage demons. He had still managed to accumulate over ten thousand contribution points.

Zhang Yang's contribution had reached exactly forty thousand points.

"Now I have enough to exchange for the ancient scripture," Su Nan's eyes gleamed with joy.

At the same time, a King-level demon made its move towards him, reaching out to grab him. Meanwhile, his avatar was also targeted by a King-level mid-stage demon.

The next events proceeded smoothly.

He used his racial talent, "Starlight Obscure Body," channeling the surging vitality and spiritual energy into his bloodline, causing his avatar's strength to skyrocket. He followed this with his racial talent, "One Force Shattering Heaven."

"It's a pity; my current strength is still a bit lacking. Even with my full power, I can only kill one demon."

Su Nan sighed as he looked at the King-level demon pursuing him. If he killed this demon, it would be difficult for his avatar, even with the assistance of the Demon Princess.

After all, it was a King-level mid-stage demon, and even with the aid of the recovered Demon Princess at the King-level mid-stage, killing it would still be extremely challenging.

Killing a King-level demon was not an easy feat.

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task "Hunt a King-level demon," and 45 Demon Power has been awarded.]

[Current available Demon Power: 336 points.]

One minute later, at the moment when both his racial talent powers disappeared, the King-level mid-stage demon was finally slain.

His Demon Power was enough to exchange for the incense burner!

Without further delay, Su Nan controlled his avatar to leave the battlefield, finding a safe spot and having the Demon Princess temporarily guard it.

Meanwhile, his main body, due to the exhaustion from using the racial talents, had its strength plummet.

Faced with the attack of the second King-level demon, Su Nan had no chance to react and immediately chose to log out.

"Exit the game!"

Su Nan's figure disappeared, leaving behind two enraged demons.

"With his current strength, he can only withstand a King-level demon for a minute, right?"

Xu Yulan, who had been observing Su Nan, saw him log out of the game, and a look of disappointment crossed her face. However, she quickly self-ridiculed.

"What am I expecting? There's a world of difference between King-level and Profound-level. Hunting King-level demons is something current players can't achieve, even Wang Nan."

"With his Profound-level early-stage strength, lasting a minute against a King-level demon is already far beyond our expectations!"

Little did she know that on the other side, a King-level mid-stage demon had already fallen to Su Nan's hand.

In reality, Su Nan had not left the game entirely.

There were still two minutes left until the mission ended; he could wait for a while.

Soon, the time reached midnight.

It was also the time for the game to refresh, marking the end of the fifteen-day mission called the Human Crisis.

"I wonder what rewards the top three on the leaderboard will receive this time."

Su Nan logged back into the game with anticipation.

In the game, Qianshou Town, which had been filled with chaos and battles moments ago, was now devoid of any demon presence. Excited players were the only ones left, rejoicing in their contributions.

All the demons had retreated from the vicinity of Zhongtian County one minute before the mission ended.

At this moment, the power of the Heavenly Seal had fully restored to an unprecedented intensity.

Standing in Qianshou Town, Su Nan's strength was greatly suppressed, and he could only display the level of a Spirit-level!

[Large-scale regional mission "Human Crisis" has ended. The contribution ranking and contribution store will close in 24 hours. Please redeem your desired items within 24 hours.]

[Congratulations, you have completed the Human Crisis mission. Would you like to claim the mission rewards?]

The notification for completing the mission appeared, but Su Nan didn't claim it immediately. Instead, he left the game first.

Using Interdimensional Shift, he disappeared from his original location.

He arrived at an uninhabited area several kilometers away from Qianshou Town before finally claiming his rewards.

[Congratulations, you have gained 30 Demon Power.]

[Congratulations, you have gained a Spirit-level Bloodline.]

[Congratulations, you have gained a Spirit-level Demon Scripture.]

These were just the basic rewards for completing the mission.

The real rewards were yet to come.

[Congratulations, you have achieved outstanding results in this mission. Your final ranking is first place. You will receive additional rewards. Would you like to claim them now?]

"Yes."

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Key of the Celestial Door.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained Profound-level Ancient Demon Blood.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained a Substitute Scarecrow.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained Perfect Revival Card 4.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 2 Daily Task Refresh Cards.]

"Only two of these rewards are in-game items?"

Su Nan was surprised. He had expected this time to be similar to the previous one, with a focus on in-game items, but it turned out there were only two.

The Perfect Revival Card and Daily Task Refresh Card were self-explanatory.

However, compared to the previous rewards, the quantity of these two items was noticeably lower.

In the previous first-place reward, there were eight Perfect Revival Cards, but this time, there were only four.

Similarly, in the previous reward, there were four Daily Task Refresh Cards, but this time, there were only two.

"Could it mean that the rewards for in-game items will decrease in the future?"

Su Nan couldn't help but speculate.

It wasn't impossible, as with each successive closed beta of the game, the rules seemed to be constantly increasing. From a certain perspective, the game was gradually transforming into the real world.

The rules that were originally more game-like were changing.

The most obvious proof of this was that after the third closed beta, players would no longer be able to fully resurrect with full health.

"If that's the case, these in-game items might become even more valuable in the future. I'll have to cherish and use them wisely."

With a flip of his hand, Su Nan took out the first reward.

The Key of the Celestial Door.

He had just obtained one yesterday, and now he had received another one. With nine keys in total, he had already collected three.

"I wonder if there are only nine of these keys, or if there are many more?"

"Do the other state's first-place rewards also include the Key of the Celestial Door?"

The game had twelve states, and the rankings in each state were independent.

If he could get the Key of the Celestial Door, others might also have a chance.

Unfortunately, there was no information about this on the forum. After all, anyone who could rank high was not a fool, and everyone tacitly concealed the rewards they obtained.

He put away the key and took out the drop of Profound-level Ancient Demon Blood.

What excited Su Nan was that this was a drop of blood from the Body System!

"Profound-level Ancient Demon Blood, not bad at all. With this, I already have enough Ancient Demon Blood for the three characters I need."

With a flip of his hand, he took out two pieces of bright red bones. These were the two pieces of bones containing blood that he had obtained from two different formation nodes in Tianyun County.

These two drops of blood were from the Control System and the Secret Power System. With these, he had collected Profound-level Ancient Demon Blood for all three systems.

However, he still needed the corresponding Demon Scripture for these three types of blood, and he would have to buy them from the Tian Gong Pavilion.

Finally, he looked at the last reward.

The Substitute Scarecrow.

It was a straw man made with divine arts, about the size of a palm. If it weren't an in-game reward, Su Nan might have mistaken it for an ordinary scarecrow.

[Substitute Scarecrow: A straw man created by an ancient powerhouse using divine arts. After dripping blood onto it, it can substitute for the user's death once.]

"This thing might be very useful for other players, but it's a bit redundant for me."

After reading the description, Su Nan felt a bit disappointed.

Leaving aside the fact that he was a player who could resurrect and had foresight, he also had the Perfect Revival Card, as well as the ability to foresee the future.

He put the Substitute Scarecrow back into his personal space.

At this moment, when he looked at the price to exchange the Substitute Scarecrow for reality, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"No, in the game, I may not need it, but in reality, I can use it."

In reality, he couldn't resurrect with full health, and he didn't have the ability to foresee the future. If he could exchange the Substitute Scarecrow for reality, it would be an invaluable life-saving treasure!

Thinking of this, Su Nan felt excited.

The cost to exchange the Substitute Scarecrow was not expensive, only 400 Demon Power.

While this might be a astronomical number for others, it was not much for him.

"After exchanging the incense burner for reality, I'll find a way to exchange this item as well."

Something that could save his life was best exchanged for reality as soon as possible.

After reviewing Zhang Yang's rewards, Su Nan switched to his Wang Nan character, and another 30 Demon Power was credited to his account.

[Congratulations, you have achieved outstanding results in this mission. Your final ranking is second place. You will receive additional rewards. Would you like to claim them now?]

"Yes."

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained Bloodline Spirit Fruit.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 2 Perfect Revival Cards.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 Main Quest Duplicate Card.]

The second-place reward consisted of four items, and once again, there were only two types of in-game items. Both in terms of quantity and variety, the rewards had significantly decreased.

Fortunately, both the Perfect Revival Card and Main Quest Duplicate Card were useful to him, and having more of these items was always better.

"Bloodline Spirit Fruit, I've got this again." A red fruit appeared in Su Nan's hand, and he was fairly satisfied.

This item, when used properly, could elevate a bloodline to the level of an Ancient Demon Blood, making it equivalent to a drop of Ancient Demon Blood.

After storing the blood essence, he took out the so-called "Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc."

To Su Nan's surprise, this item was not a single piece but a pair!

In terms of appearance and size, it resembled a compass to some extent.

[Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc: An ancient treasure, divided into Yin and Yang discs. Users can teleport from the Yang disc to the Yin disc.]

[The farther the teleportation distance, the more power is consumed. The greater the power contained in the object being teleported, the more power is required for teleportation. Consuming the blood essence of monsters can replenish the power needed for teleportation.]

[Cross-dimensional teleportation is possible.]

"This is actually an ancient treasure!"

"Teleport from the Yang disc to the Yin disc?"

"Cross-dimensional teleportation?"

As Su Nan read the description, he initially didn't think much of it. Although it was an ancient treasure, its function was merely teleportation, and his Perfect Revival Card could also teleport to specific locations.

However, when he saw the phrase "cross-dimensional teleportation," his breathing began to quicken.

"Cross-dimensional teleportation? If I place the Yang disc in the demonic world and the Yin disc in the real world, can I use the Yang disc to transport in-game items to reality?"

Su Nan instantly thought of a way to use this Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc.

If the plan was feasible, he wouldn't need to spend Demon Power to exchange items from his personal space to reality in the future.

He could simply use some monster's blood essence to directly transport what he needed from the game to reality.

Thinking about this, Su Nan felt excited and couldn't help but want to try it immediately.

Just now, he was considering exchanging the Substitute Scarecrow for reality, but now, with this Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc, he could save 400 Demon Power.

And there was more.

His gaze swept over his personal space.

He fixed his gaze on the divine artifact, the incense burner.

In order to exchange the incense burner for reality, he had accumulated 300 Demon Power, but now, it could also be saved.

Then there was the dragon turtle egg. He had deliberately kept one dragon turtle egg to exchange it for reality when he had enough Demon Power, and he could hatch it in the real world.

"Not only that, if everything is truly feasible, I might even be able to transport people from the game to reality!"

Although two days later, during the third closed beta of the game, it would be possible to use the spatial channel for this purpose.

However, based on some announcements, the spatial channel was not entirely safe. If one had bad luck, they could die in the spatial channel.

On the other hand, Su Nan's Yin-Yang Interdimensional Disc was very safe, requiring only the blood essence of monsters as an energy supplement.

Unable to contain his excitement, Su Nan placed the Yin disc separately in his personal space and checked the cost to exchange it for reality.
