Chapter 139: Second Beta Test Begins

"You have arrived at the Lv Mansion. You know that the owner of the Lv Mansion, Mr. Lv, is a wealthy merchant on the surface, but in reality, he is a mysterious-level monster named Lv Er."

"This is a well-known monster on the Extermination Bureau's list, known for its fondness for eating children. It has been captured multiple times by the former directors of the Extermination Bureau."

"Unfortunately, this monster is incredibly fast, easily evading most attacks, and it can escape quickly. The previous directors of the Extermination Bureau attempted to capture it several times but failed."

"A monster skilled in speed? Seeing this, Su Nan smiled."

"When it comes to dealing with fast monsters, besides the equally fast Lightning Power, the most effective means is undoubtedly Soul Power."

"Being attacked by Soul Power causes a momentary loss of consciousness."

"Don't underestimate this moment; often, in an instant, the tide of battle can change."

"Examples like this have occurred more than once in his hands."

"You climb over the wall into the Lv Mansion, and a butler-like spirit-level monster notices you and tries to attack you."

"You easily kill it with your Soul Power combined with a Water Arrow, then transform into the appearance of a monster and enter the courtyard."

"The Lv Mansion is large, and you wander around for a minute before finally arriving at a room in the west courtyard."

"The room's door is not closed, and you see a fat-eared monster feasting, and you can vaguely discern what appears to be a child's foot on its plate."

"You approach the monster without making a sound, then suddenly launch a Soul Power attack at the monster, causing it to momentarily freeze."

"However, before you can strike it, the monster has already shaken off the influence of your Soul Power and instantly counterattacks, sending you flying."

"You realize that your Soul Power is too weak, and its impact on the monster is too small. Just as the monster is about to attack you again, you decisively use Soul Metamorphosis."

"With the infusion of Qi and Spirit Energy, your Soul Power surges. Faced with your Soul Power attack once again, the monster finally cannot break free immediately."

"Seizing this opportunity, you use your racial talent, 'Breakthrough Strike,' successfully dealing a severe blow to the monster."

"With a successful blow, you don't give the monster a chance to react. You use your Soul Power attack again while performing 'Destruction Serpent Dance.'"

"Congratulations, you have successfully hunted down the monster."

"Success!"

"As expected, when dealing with fast monsters, Soul Power is the way to go!"

Su Nan smiled, and he had accomplished the goal of a three-star mission.

The prediction was still ongoing.

"After successfully hunting down the monster, the effect of your Soul Metamorphosis fades, and your strength greatly diminishes."

"At this moment, you suddenly notice a monster with a black tail approaching you in the Lv Mansion."

"You realize it's not good and quickly take out the diluted Life Source to recover your strength."

"Unfortunately, even though the diluted Life Source contains a lot of vitality, it cannot instantly restore your strength; it takes time."

"The monster notices that your strength is depleted, hesitates briefly, and then attacks you. You die."

"Well, I worked hard to kill the big one, but ended up being killed by the smaller one."

Su Nan was speechless.

There was nothing he could do. After using 'Breakthrough Strike' and 'Destruction Serpent Dance,' he only had the power of the Mystic Power left.

And with the Mystic Power weakening as the effect of Soul Metamorphosis ended, his strength was not even comparable to an ordinary Spirit-level early-stage monster at this point.

"At least, next time, I'll kill you first!"

Su Nan took out the map and compared it with the identity of the monster. He found that the last monster was the master of this street, the one called Chang Wei.

Of course, it wasn't time to take action yet.

If he were to take action, it would be after the mission refreshed.

"Three character missions, and now only Lang Shisan's mission is incomplete."

"This one might be a bit tricky. Where can I find players to go after at this late hour?"

The Survival mission was over, and there were only one-ninth of the original players left, just over ten thousand.

These players were scattered throughout East Chen Province, with very few in each location.

Of course, there might be a large number of players in some guild gathering places.

"I wonder if there are any player guilds in Tianyun City?"

The most popular guild in Tianyun County was undoubtedly Zhou Cheng's Divine Sealing Guild.

Zhou Cheng was a disciple of the Star-Point Sect, and it could be assumed that the main base of the Divine Sealing Guild was near the Star-Point Sect, not in Tianyun City.

However, as the central city of Tianyun County, Tianyun City must have some players from the Divine Sealing Guild.

Su Nan wandered around the city, searching for players.

To his delight, he actually found a group of players.

On an old street, more than ten players were besieging a monster.

It was a Spirit-level early-stage monster!

These players were obviously from the same guild, coordinating with each other and managing to severely wound the Spirit-level early-stage monster.

At this rate, they would be able to kill it soon.

Among the ten-plus players, the leader was a middle-aged man with a short stature and a face full of muscles.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Su Nan smiled, "It's quite a coincidence!"

He recognized the short man; he was the player who had jumped out to kill him in the Heavenly Wolf Valley.

Su Nan remembered that this player's name was Meng Feng, and he had been ranked in the nineties at the time.

"This guy is not simple. After I plundered his Luck, his strength greatly declined, and yet he has already made further progress so quickly."

Glancing at the leaderboard, he found that Meng Feng had improved his ranking even further, reaching eighty-third place and mastering the third type of Monster Art!

This was enough to prove that Meng Feng definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.

The monster roared in agony and finally fell down, full of unwillingness.

"Hahaha, we're too strong! We can even kill Spirit-level monsters!"

The group of over ten players were quite pleased with themselves after successfully hunting down a Spirit-level monster.

Meng Feng, however, seemed somewhat dissatisfied. "If it weren't for that damn Wolf Monster last time that caused me to lose a lot of strength, hunting down this monster today would have been even easier!"

"Don't worry, Big Brother Meng, we'll help you settle this score with that Wolf Monster!""That's right, as long as you give us another month, no, even just half a month, even if that Wolf Monster is at the pinnacle of Spirit-level, we can still kill it!"

Hearing this, Meng Feng finally smiled and nodded. "The next time we encounter that Wolf Monster, I will definitely strip him of his tendons and skin!"

After saying that, he looked at the others and asked, "How many of your tasks have you not completed today?"

"

Big Brother Meng, I haven't completed the task of hunting monsters yet!"

Chapter 139: Second Beta Test Begins

"Meng Ge, I don't have any..." Meng Feng waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's leave the city and do some tasks."

Su Nan watched as the group of people departed, a smile on his lips.

He had made up his mind; today, he would use this group to complete his tasks.

The Wheel of Fate turned, switching his character to Lang Shisan, and his appearance changed accordingly.

Many of these players had already completed their daily tasks, giving them unlimited opportunities to log out. Su Nan intended to hunt them down as quickly as possible!

Silently approaching the group from behind, he suddenly struck. Water Arrows, Fireballs, Thunder Serpents, three types of magic surged, and his Soul Power was not idle either. His fists were just as active!

These players, who had only merged two or three bloodlines, couldn't withstand his attack, and in the blink of an eye, most of them were dead or injured.

Before they could even figure out what was happening, they had already been killed.

Meng Feng, who was at the front, sensed the commotion behind him and turned abruptly.

When he saw Su Nan transformed into a wolf demon, he instantly remembered the previous incident when his Luck was plundered. He was both shocked and angry.

"It's you, you damn monster!"

Meng Feng cursed angrily, but in his heart, he was honest. He decisively tried to log out of the game.

However, just as he had the thought, before he could log out, his mind went blank.

Immediately after, a water arrow hit his head accurately, and he died.

"Congratulations, you have hunted a Fortune Holder. Do you want to plunder their Fortune?"

"Plunder."

"Congratulations, you have gained 3 Fortune points."

"Current Fortune points: 69."

The players all disappeared. From Su Nan's attack to the end, not even a breath's time had passed.

Unfortunately, even so, a few players reacted quickly and managed to log out immediately, escaping the attack.

This time, he only killed 13 players.

"Congratulations, you have completed the daily task 'Hunt five outsiders,' and 5 Demonic Power points have been awarded."

"Congratulations, you have completed the daily task 'Hunt one outsider in the top 100 Fortune Holders,' and 5 Demonic Power points have been awarded."

"Current Demonic Power points available: 60."

Lang Shisan had only completed two of his three tasks, and the remaining task, to hunt down 30 players, seemed impossible to complete now.

Checking Lang Shisan's main quest, along with the players he had recently killed in Hu Xiu Town, he had accumulated 53 of the required 120 outsiders.

He had also accumulated two out of ten players in the top 100 Fortune Holders.

"After the second beta test, completing this task will be much easier."

He had already completed all the daily tasks available.

Checking the time, Su Nan reverted to his appearance as Zhang Yang, left the ancient street, and logged out of the game.

In reality, Meng Feng, who had his Fortune plundered by Su Nan again, was furious and kicked a hole in his game cabinet.

"That damn wolf demon has appeared in Tianyun County. Is he targeting me?"

"No, I must find a way to kill that monster; otherwise, I won't sleep soundly!"

...

Ten o'clock in the evening.

As soon as Su Nan opened the forum, he saw a post that was trending among many players.

"Shocking! Coordinates: Tianyun City's Demon Extermination Bureau. Zhang Yang has become the head of the Demon Extermination Bureau! If you want to join the Demon Extermination Bureau, hurry up!"

Seeing this post, Su Nan instantly knew who the poster was.

There was no need to say; it must be the Huang brothers.

"A county-level Demon Extermination Bureau head? Didn't they say that a county-level Demon Extermination Bureau required at least a Profound-level realm?"

"If I join the Demon Extermination Bureau, can I do daily tasks with them?"

"Is Zhang Yang, the great god, starting to build his own power? If I can do daily tasks with the great god, I might take off too!"

"I want to join Zhang Yang's Demon Extermination Bureau, no one can stop me!"

Players were enthusiastic, and many of them wanted to join the Demon Extermination Bureau where Su Nan was.

The biggest advantage of joining a guild was that you could do tasks with high-level players.

This was true in other games, and even more so in this Yao Mo world, where the initial task difficulty was extremely high.

Completing tasks individually was not as efficient as joining a guild, where the difficulty of tasks was significantly reduced.

Su Nan glanced at the post and then exited to browse other posts.

Time passed.

Finally, a new day began.

"The second beta test officially begins. This time, there are ten million players. The exchange of game items to real-life functions is now open. Please go to your personal space to check."

"Large-scale regional missions are now open. Please go to the mission panel for detailed mission information."

As soon as he logged into the game, information about the game's public beta appeared.

Shortly after, Su Nan noticed that, almost simultaneously, two young men appeared not far from him.

"This is the Yao Mo world; it feels so real!"

These two young men were obviously new players, full of curiosity about everything in the game.

One of them noticed Su Nan and immediately approached, asking enthusiastically, "Hey, are you one of the old-timers from the previous batch? Can you tell us where we are?"

"Tianyun County," Su Nan replied.

"Tianyun County?" The two newcomers were momentarily stunned but then realized something and couldn't help but be delighted. "Isn't this where Zhang Yang, the great god, is located?"

"That's right, it's great that we ended up here. Now, we won't have any trouble with the newbie tasks!"

Su Nan didn't pay any more attention to the two and turned to look at his quest list.

"Large-scale Regional Mission: Human Crisis."

"In ancient times, to resist the Yao race, powerful human warriors laid down the Heavenly Dome Divine Seal in the Twelve Provinces. Within the range of the Heavenly Dome Divine Seal, the strength of all Yao creatures is suppressed to a certain extent."

"After ancient times, humans fell into an unprecedented dark era, without the protection of powerful warriors, the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals in the Twelve Provinces gradually suffered extensive damage."

"Today, the power of the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals has almost vanished. When the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals are completely broken, it will mark the beginning of the Yao race's complete annihilation of the human race."

"The major forces of the Twelve Provinces have realized the seriousness of the situation and have decided to repair the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals at all costs."

"However, the Yao race will never allow the humans to repair the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals. Under the orders of the Twelve Yao Emperors, the Yao race has once again launched a large-scale operation to destroy the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals."

"Mission Requirements: Within 15 days, total mission contribution points must exceed 300, and the number of deaths during the mission must not exceed 10."

"Mission Difficulty: Three stars."

"Mission Rewards: Spiritual-level Bloodline,

 Spiritual-level Yao Art, 30 Demonic Power points."

"Failure Penalty: Permanent game account suspension."

"During the mission, completing daily tasks and mainline tasks will earn the same amount of mission contribution points."

"During the mission, you can trigger a sub-mission for the Human Crisis through the respective factions. Completing the sub-mission will earn a large number of contribution points."

"During the mission, the Contribution Point Shop will be open, and you can exchange items in the shop for contribution points. Spending contribution points will not reduce the total contribution points."

"During the mission, a contribution point ranking will be available. At the end of the mission, the top 100 players on the ranking will receive additional rewards. Please participate actively."

"As expected, it's the repair of the Heavenly Dome Divine Seals!"

Seeing the mission description, Su Nan was not surprised at all.

This mission had already been hinted at, and it would have been strange if it wasn't this mission.

"Mission Requirements: Within 15 days, total mission contribution points must exceed 300, and the number of deaths during the mission must not exceed 10."

"Mission Difficulty: Three stars."

"Mission Rewards: Spiritual-level Bloodline, Spiritual-level Yao Art, 30 Demonic Power points."

"Failure Penalty: Permanent game account suspension."

"During the mission, completing daily tasks and mainline tasks will earn the same amount of mission contribution points."

"During the mission, you can trigger a sub-mission for the Human Crisis through the respective factions. Completing the sub-mission will earn a large number of contribution points."

"During the mission, the Contribution Point Shop will be open, and you can exchange items in the shop for contribution points. Spending contribution points will not reduce the total contribution points."

"During the mission, a contribution point ranking will be available. At the end of the mission, the top 100 players on the ranking will receive additional rewards. Please participate actively."

"Completing daily tasks will earn mission contribution points?" Su Nan's eyes lit up.
