Chapter 140: Item Exchange

He thought of something, the Daily Task Refresh Card!

With one Daily Task Refresh Card, he could refresh a daily task, which was equivalent to gaining one extra day of task contribution points compared to other players.

"I've received a total of seven Daily Task Refresh Cards. I used one last time, so now I have six left. This means I have six days' worth of task contribution more than other players."

"Of course, daily tasks are just one way to earn contribution points. To significantly increase my contribution points, I'll have to focus on side quests."

He opened his personal information panel.

Below the Realm Rankings, there was now a Task Contribution Rankings section.

At the moment, the rankings were empty, with no players listed yet.

Unbeknownst to Su Nan, many players in the area chat were keeping an eye on the rankings.

They wanted to see who would be the first to top the list.

"I guess it will definitely be the great god Wang Nan!"

"I'm not so sure. Wang Nan is powerful, but that doesn't mean he'll be the first to complete the mission."

"That's right. If someone was hunting Yao creatures right before the game refreshes, they might complete the mission as soon as the game updates."

Su Nan didn't pay much attention to the rankings and instead focused on the side.

There was an icon with a shop symbol there.

He opened the shop, and a large number of items appeared before him.

A quick glance revealed a wide variety of items, from Yao Bloodline to weapon spirit medicines, among other things.

"These items have quite a variety, but it seems like none of them are particularly valuable."

Su Nan noticed that the highest-priced item in the shop was only 499 contribution points.

And he happened to have that particular item.

It was the Death Mark Cleansing Card!

"A Death Mark Cleansing Card is the highest-priced item. It seems that other items aren't much better."

Su Nan shook his head, disappointed that the in-game shop didn't have better items as he had hoped.

As he browsed through the shop casually, a notification popped up.

[Notification: Contribution Shop items are divided into four tiers: 0, 500, 1000, and 1500. You can only access the corresponding tier of the shop when your available contribution points reach that tier.]

"Four high tiers?"

"I knew it. How could the in-game shop be so mediocre?"

"It seems that the Perfect Resurrection Card and Daily Task Refresh Card, if they exist, should be in the higher-tier shop."

"I wonder if there are Art Seeds or Divine Power Seeds?"

Su Nan's eyes lit up. If there were such items, he would do whatever it took to exchange for them.

He closed the shop.

He wasn't in a hurry to check the daily tasks but instead opened his personal space.

He wanted to see what was required to exchange in-game items for real-life items.

The personal space was a ten-by-ten grid, and each item had a different number displayed below it.

Below the Beast Bone Dagger, it said 30.

Below an ordinary Yao Manual, it said 3, and below Bloodline, it said 5.

Su Nan's gaze fell on the Beast Bone Dagger, and a game prompt appeared.

[Would you like to spend 30 Demonic Power points to exchange the Beast Bone Dagger into reality?]

[Note: Items exchanged into reality cannot be brought back into the game. Please proceed with caution.]

"So, it does require spending Demonic Power points," Su Nan nodded in understanding.

His gaze swept across the items, and he noticed the exchange price for the storage ring he was planning to exchange.

Under the storage ring, it said 1560.

"1560 Demonic Power points? That's too much!"

Su Nan's face darkened. When would he ever save up that much?

But soon, when he saw the exchange prices for the other rings, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qiankun Ring with the Big Princess inside was 4500, the ring with the Demon Source Pearl was 3050, and Han Fu's ring was 3800.

The prices for these three rings were at least three thousand!

"Items inside the rings are included!"

Su Nan instantly understood what was happening.

The ring with the Demon Source Pearl and his own ring were both ordinary storage rings, so there was no reason for such a big price difference.

"Previously, for convenience, I stored the corpses of Yao creatures and their blood essence inside."

"That includes the corpse of a King-level Yao creature, two Profound-level Yao creature corpses, and those diluted Life Sources."

"The 1560 Demonic Power points should mostly be the price of the items inside."

He took out all the items from the ring and put the ring back into the personal space.

Suddenly, the price of the storage ring changed from 1560 to 50, a significant difference.

"50 points can be accepted."

[Would you like to spend 50 Demonic Power points to exchange the storage ring into reality?]

"Yes!"

[The exchange of the storage ring was successful.]

[Current available Demonic Power: 10 points]

With these prompts, the storage ring in his personal space disappeared.

Seeing this, Su Nan sighed with relief and logged out of the game.

In reality, he opened the game cabinet and found the storage ring lying quietly next to him!

"Great, now I can leave without worries."

Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, it wasn't time to leave just yet. He had to finish everything in the game first.

He put the ring on his finger, tested it, and found that it worked perfectly. Then, he logged back into the game.

Once again, he opened his personal space and looked at the remaining items.

The Black Cloud Pig Demon's corpse was 350, a Dragon Turtle Egg was 580 each, the Demon King's corpse was 740, the Flame Essence was 1020, the Azure Gold Stone was 5240, and the Feathered Demon Sword was 23210.

"Exchange the Feathered Demon Sword for over twenty-three thousand Demonic Power points?"

"Ridiculous!"

Su Nan gasped in shock.

There was no need to think about it; he would never exchange for that item.

Aside from these exchangeable items, there were no prices listed for game items like the Daily Task Refresh Card or the Perfect Resurrection Card, which meant they couldn't be exchanged.

"This feature is quite useful. In the future, when I obtain items, I can immediately assess their value by putting them in my personal space."

He closed his personal space.

Now, he looked at the daily tasks for his three characters.

Due to their presence in Tianyun City, the daily tasks for all three characters had undergone significant changes.

First, Wang Nan's task.

[Daily Task 1: Hunt a Spiritual-level Yao creature]

Mission Difficulty: Two Stars

Mission Reward: 15 Demonic Power Points.

[Daily Task 2: Hunt and Kill a Profound-level Yao Creature]

Mission Difficulty: Three Stars

Mission Reward: 30 Demonic Power Points.

[Daily Task 3: Explore the City God Temple]

Mission Difficulty: Four Stars

Mission Reward: 45 Demonic Power Points.

"Explore the City God Temple?" Su Nan frowned.

Just by looking at the difficulty of the task, he knew that there must be a King-level Great Yao among them!

"This task is likely one of those that can't be completed in just a day or two!"

He sighed and activated the Wheel of Fate, switching to Zhang Yang.

Compared to Wang Nan's tasks, it was clear that Zhang Yang's tasks had undergone more significant changes due to his position as the Chief of the Demon-Slaying Division.

[Daily Task 1: Clear the Yao Creatures in the Stone Mill]

Mission Difficulty: Two Stars

Mission Reward: 15 Demonic Power Points

[Daily Task 2: Hunt down the ringleader of the missing ferryman in the Flowing Spring River]

Mission Difficulty: Two Stars

Mission Reward: 15 Demonic Power Points.

[Daily Task 3: Seek revenge for the former Chief.]

Mission Difficulty: Three Stars

Mission Reward: 30 Demonic Power Points.

"Revenge?"

"Another task that won't be easy to complete!"

Su Nan shook his head. The former Chief was at the Profound-level, and the Yao creature that could kill a Profound-level martial artist was likely at the Profound-level Mid-stage or even Late-stage.

Whether it was the Mid-stage or Late-stage Profound-level, he couldn't deal with them at the moment!

He continued to look at Lang Shisan's tasks.

[Daily Task 1: Hunt down 5 extraterrestrial visitors]

Mission Difficulty: One Star

Mission Reward: 5 Demonic Power Points

[Daily Task 2: Hunt down 30 extraterrestrial visitors]

Mission Difficulty: Two Stars

Mission Reward: 15 Demonic Power Points

[Daily Task 3: Replace the position of the Bear Rock Great Yao.]

Mission Difficulty: Three Stars

Mission Reward: 30 Demonic Power Points.

The first two tasks weren't very interesting. What surprised Su Nan was the last task.

"Replace the Bear Rock? This task is too ridiculous. How am I supposed to replace the Bear Rock?" Su Nan frowned.

Bear Rock was the leader of the Eagles High and Old Goat's leader, one of the nine Great Yao under the Green Wolf Demon King. He had the strength of the Profound-level Mid-stage.

If this task required him to kill Bear Rock, there might be a chance after some time when his strength continued to improve.

However, to replace Bear Rock's position, the difficulty would be much greater.

After all, he was only at the Spirit-level. Even if he managed to kill Bear Rock, whether the Green Wolf Demon King would spare him and allow him to take Bear Rock's place was a big question mark.

"No, there might still be a possibility to complete this."

Suddenly, Su Nan thought of the older brother Hu Xiaotian, whom he had recognized under Lang Shisan's identity.

If he had Hu Xiaotian intervene, even if he did kill Bear Rock, the Green Wolf Demon King might not say anything.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.

"I shouldn't think about this for now. Let's complete the tasks that can be done first."

After checking the tasks for the three characters, Su Nan switched back to Wang Nan and headed straight for the Lu Mansion.

He planned to first kill the Profound-level Yao creature in the Lu Mansion.

Of course, before that, he had to eliminate the Yao creature that might interfere with his plans.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the street where the Lu Mansion was located.

In the real world, it was midnight, but in the Yao Demon World, it was daytime, with vendors bustling on the streets.

After using the Precognition ability twice in a row to confirm that there would be no unexpected incidents, he began to take action.

Two minutes later, he found the Yao creature named Chang Wei and killed it.

Five minutes later, after using three racial talents, he finally killed Lu Er, the Profound-level Great Yao of the Lu Mansion!

"Congratulations, you have completed the daily task 'Hunt and Kill a Spiritual-level Yao Creature,' and 15 Demonic Power Points have been rewarded."

"Congratulations, you have completed the daily task 'Hunt and Kill a Profound-level Yao Creature,' and 30 Demonic Power Points have been rewarded."

[Demonic Power Points Available: 55 points.]

Both of these tasks belong to Wang Nan, and with the completion of the first task, Wang Nan's name instantly appeared on the previously blank contribution leaderboard!

Someone immediately noticed the change in the leaderboard.

"Wang Nan! Wang Nan completed a task!"

"Fifteen Demonic Power Points, Wang Nan, the great deity, has hunted down a Spiritual-level Yao creature!"

But it didn't stop there; not long after, the number behind Wang Nan's name jumped from 15 to 45!

"The great deity completed another task? Gained thirty Demonic Power Points at once! How did he do it!"

"It must be a Four-Star Mainline! Only a Four-Star Mainline can yield this many Demonic Power Points at once!"

"It's Wang Nan, after all. Compared to Wang Nan, others are far behind!"

After seeing Su Nan gain thirty Demonic Power Points at once, everyone believed he had completed a Four-Star Mainline.

No one even considered the possibility of Profound-level Yao creatures because that was too absurd, and no one believed it!

In the Point Star Sect,

Zhou Cheng walked out of a large hall and noticed the change in the task contribution leaderboard. His face initially darkened, but then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmph! What can being temporarily in first place do? I've already received a side quest. I'd like to see how you'll compete with me this time!"

With his identity as a Point Star Sect disciple, he effortlessly received a side quest. Moreover, it wasn't just any side quest; completing just one part of it would easily surpass Wang Nan's current position.

At the same time,

In the real world, information about Wang Nan's progress in the game was sent out immediately.

In Donglin City, at the top floor of a building, several people in black watched the transmitted information with grim expressions.

"We can't wait any longer; his growth rate is too fast. Even if we find him later, we won't be a match for him."

"We strike in one hour!"

"What about the Night Watchers? They will definitely try to intervene."

"I'll handle them!"

In the game,

After collecting the Yao creature's corpses, Su Nan quickly took out a bottle of diluted Life Source.

When he had gone to the Heavenly Palace Pavilion earlier, he had bought over ten jade bottles and had filled them with the remaining liquid from soaking the Dragon Turtle Eggs.

He had filled twelve bottles in total.

After drinking one bottle of the liquid, he began to recover his depleted strength. At the same time, he transformed into an ordinary pedestrian and quickly disappeared into the streets.

Not long after he left, a white-furred Yao creature appeared in the Lu Mansion.

"Lu Er was killed? Who would dare to do such a thing!"

Seeing the chaotic scene of the battle and the remaining flames and residual thunder energy, the Yao creature instantly understood the identity of the person who had attacked.

"An Elemental Martial Artist! Who could it be? That old man, Chen, from the County Governor's Mansion is an Elemental Master, but is it him?"

A Profound-level Yao creature being killed in broad daylight was undoubtedly shocking to the Yao creatures.

Soon, more than ten ordinary Yao creatures arrived at the Lu Mansion. When they saw the scene, they were all shocked.

Shortly after, news of Lu Er, the Profound-level Yao creature's death, spread rapidly.

All Yao creatures were guessing who the culprit might be.

In an inn,

Su Nan sat cross-legged.

Inside him, life force continuously transformed into spiritual energy.

Then, spiritual energy transformed into elemental and physical energy.

After four or five minutes, feeling that he had recovered about half of his strength, he finally sighed in relief.

Now, he wasn't afraid even if he encountered a Peak Spiritual-level Yao creature.

"This is still not safe."

Looking at the remaining Demonic Power Points, he took out the Yao Manual and Bloodline he had purchased from the Heavenly Palace Pavilion.

He planned to use bloodline fusion to restore his strength.

It was a bloodline called the Rampant Azure Serpent, which primarily focused on strength.

The main risk during the early stages of bloodline fusion was related to breaking through realms when the four bloodlines merged.

Ordinary bloodline fusion was generally safe, so Su Nan didn't hesitate and directly used the bloodline and Yao Manual.

One or two minutes later, he completed the fusion of the second spiritual-level bloodline.

"Upgrade!"

Consuming 4 Demonic Power Points, the Rampant Azure Serpent Manual entered the introductory stage.

Consuming 8 Demonic Power Points, the Rampant Azure Serpent Manual achieved a basic level of mastery.

Consuming 16 Demonic Power Points, the Rampant Azure Serpent Manual reached a great level of mastery.

He had 27 Demonic Power Points remaining!

With formidable strength spreading throughout his body, his physical energy, which had only recovered half of its strength, was now restored to eighty or ninety percent.

Feeling his power replenished once again, Su Nan finally felt at ease. He then transformed into Zhang Yang and headed towards the Demon-Slaying Division.

...

"Chief, I heard that you killed the Fish Vendor on Shuangliu Street last night. Is that true?"

As soon as Su Nan arrived at the Demon-Slaying Division, he was greeted by the three top-level spiritual cultivators of the division.
