Chapter 190: Chapter 132: The Role of the Bureau Chief 2
Translator: 549690339 —
He had no idea that there was such a thing as the Main Quest Replication Card in this game!
Unfortunately, only the first and second place players have such a thing, and he was destined not to know.
Li Ye said solemnly, “Have you seen anyone else coming down from the mountain?”
‘Others? No.”
Several people shook their heads, wondering why Li Ye would ask this.
Su Nan walked over and laughed, “Li Ye, I heard you completed a four-star task, congratulations!”
Ji Changfeng said, “Young friend, I have to thank you again for this. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t know how long we would be trapped here.”
Song Zhi patted Li Ye on the shoulder and said, “You are Li Ye, right? We owe you a favor this time. If you need help in the future, you can come to the Demon Hunting Bureau in Nine Pavilion County to find me.”
Li Ye looked gloomy and didn’t say anything.
He wouldn’t admit that he hadn’t dealt with the Tiger Demon himself, as that would undoubtedly be a slap in his own face.
With the departure of Hu Xiaotian, the strange power that had trapped them in Tiger Roar Town disappeared.
Su Nan and the others found their carriage again and continued towards Tianyun City.
The moment he left the range of Tiger Roar Town, the task completion prompt appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Escape Tiger Roar Town”, and 30 Demon Points have been issued.]
[Usable Demon Points: 60 points.]
With 60 points, he had enough to upgrade one Demon Sutra to Perfection.
Of the three roles, both Wang Nan and Lang Thirteen’s Demon Sutras had already reached Great Perfection, and to further improve, they could only fuse with bloodlines.
Now he could only upgrade the character Zhang Yang.
“Li Ye just had his task stolen and must be looking for the one who stole it
Upgrading now would make it hard not to arouse his suspicion.”
“Forget it, let’s wait.”
The carriage returned to the official road leading to Tianyun City.
After the delay caused by Tiger Roar Town, the original three-hour journey now needed four hours.
On the carriage, Ji Changfeng’s expression grew even heavier after leaving Tiger Roar Town.
“We are not far from Tianyun City now. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll be there in half an hour.”
“We were influenced by a demon’s power before, causing us to enter Tiger Roar Town. That demon must be no ordinary one, and it’s very likely it hasn’t left yet.”
“Everyone, be careful!”
Su Nan didn’t dare to be careless either and used up his three foreknowledge opportunities directly.
Song Zhi and the others, having learned their lesson, each took out a dagger, ready to pierce their palms in case they fell asleep again.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred this time.
An hour later.
The group saw a huge city from afar.
Finally, they had arrived in Tianyun City.
“We’ve finally arrived!” Song Zhi and the others let out a sigh of relief.
The grand and towering walls of Tianyun City deserved to be the center of the entire Tianyun County. Even from a distance, one could feel its oppressing presence.
In comparison, the originally bustling Nine Pavilion County seemed minuscule in front of Tianyun City.
The carriage did not stop and headed straight to the Governor’s Mansion in the city center.
As they entered Tianyun City, another task completion prompt appeared. [Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Escort Ji Changfeng to Tianyun City”, and 30 Demon Points have been issued.]
[Usable Demon Points: 90 points.]
With another three-star task completed, Su Nan smiled.
Looking at the ranking list, he saw that Qian Yu had also entered the Spirit Level, ranking behind Zhang Yang.
And following Qian Yu, Li Longfei, Li Ye, Zhou Cheng, and Yang Zheng had all reached Great Perfection of Four Demon Classics.
It was evident that the rewards of survival tasks had greatly enhanced them.
“Almost, it’s time to upgrade now.” Su Nan no longer hesitated.
With a full 80 Demon Points consumed, the Double-Winged Snake Bloodline went from not yet started to Great Perfection in a single breath!
He gained another Bloodline Combat Skill, and the number of foreknowledge opportunities increased by 3, reaching 33 times!
More than ten minutes later.
The carriage stopped in front of the Governor’s Mansion.
Ji Changfeng quickly got off the carriage and said, “You guys wait here, I’ll go in and report to the Governor first.”
Song Zhi and the others nodded, dismounting their carriages and waiting.
After one incense stick burned.
Ji Changfeng walked out of the Governor’s Mansion and said to Su Nan, “Young friend, come with me. The governor wants to see you.”
“Alright!” Su Nan didn’t hesitate and followed Ji Changfeng into the Governor’s Mansion.
The Governor’s Mansion was astonishingly large and heavily guarded, even more so than the Skywolf Clan’s Wolf King Palace that he had seen before.
Su Nan followed Ji Changfeng into a majestic grand hall.
An old man with crane-like hair and the appearance of a child, aged 67, sat on a high platform. Even sitting there quietly, he exuded an aura of authority.
The old man looked at Su Nan and said, “Are you the Outsider ranked third?”
“Indeed I am.” Su Nan replied.
The old man nodded, “Old man was made aware of your deeds by Changfeng. Let me ask you now, are you willing to join the Demon Hunting Bureau of my great Yu Dynasty?”
“Willing.”
“Good! Considering your merits in escorting Changfeng and that you are an Outsider with strength comparable to the Xuan level, I can make an exception for you to become…”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “I can make an exception for you to become the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau of Tianyun City. Are you willing?”
The Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau?
Su Nan was somewhat surprised.
This position was not low. Ji Changfeng, who was in the Late Xuan Stage, was only a Bureau Chief of a county.
Now, the governor of Tianyun County intended to directly make him the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau in Tianyun City. Su Nan wondered what he was planning.
For a moment, Su Nan hesitated, unsure whether to accept this position or not.
On the side, Ji Changfeng saw the old man’s offer to Su Nan, and his eyes also revealed surprise.
He did not expect the old man to let Su Nan directly assume the position of the Bureau Chief.
However, he soon thought of something, didn’t say anything, and turned to look at Su Nan, waiting for Su Nan’s response.
Su Nan’s thoughts raced.
He wanted Zhang Yang’s identity to join the Demon Hunting Bureau to prepare for the upcoming all-area major mission.
If the mission was indeed related to repairing the Heavenly Dome Divine Prohibition, then joining the Demon Hunting Bureau would certainly give him a great advantage over ordinary players.
After all, the great Yu Dynasty was taking the lead in this matter.
Seeing Su Nan’s hesitation, the old man fell silent for a moment and said, “You don’t have to think too much about it. The reason why 1 want you to be the Bureau Chief is not only due to the tremendous increase of the Outsiders’ strength, but more importantly because you cannot die.”
When he said “cannot die,” the old man deliberately emphasized it a bit. Hearing this, Su Nan’s heart stirred, and he came to a decision, saying, “Since the Governor holds me in such high regard, I should not disobey.” “Good, I haven’t misjudged you!” A smile appeared on the old man’s face. After that, the old man made some arrangements for the Green Gold Stone matter, directly appointing two Xuan level experts to leave with Ji Changfeng. As for Su Nan, he was led by an officer named Tian He to the Demon Hunting Bureau. 6
On their way, Tian He warned, “Bureau Chief Zhang, the waters in Tianyun City are deep. It’s true that the Bureau Chief is a high-ranking position, but the accompanying risks are also enormous. You must be cautious.”
Su Nan asked, “Officer Tian, is there a problem with the Demon Hunting Bureau of Tianyun City?”
Instead of directly answering, Tian He asked, “Do you know how the last Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau of Tianyun City died?”
Su Nan’s heart stirred and said, “Could it be a demon?”
“Correct!” Tian He nodded solemnly.
“Tianyun City may seem to be under the control of our human clan, with many strong individuals, but secretly it is also a gathering place for demons.”
There are even two Demon Kings openly residing in the city!”
“Not only the previous Bureau Chief, but even several of his predecessors were ambushed and killed by demons.”
“The longest-serving one lasted for no more than a year, while the shortest didn’t even make it past seven days!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Su Nan realized why the governor would ask him to take over the previous Bureau Chief’s position.
However, he didn’t feel afraid either.
As a player, being able to resurrect was one aspect, but more importantly, he had another identity.
He could fully use his identity as a Wolf Demon to infiltrate the demons within Tianyun City and learn their plans.
At that time, who would be the hunter and who would be the prey would still be uncertain!
Thinking about this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Su Nan’s mouth. Looking back at Tian He, Su Nan said with a smile, “Thank you, Officer Tian, for telling me all this. If you need anything in the future, just say the word.” Tian He replied, “Bureau Chief Zhang, you’re too polite. I just didn’t want to see you die without knowing the reason..”
