33 Chapter 33 Survival Task
Translator: 549690339
[The first public test has officially begun, with a quota of one million players. The player chat section and friend section are now open.]
[Survival Trial Mission is now open, please check the Task Panel for detailed information.]
In Cell No. 15, Su Nan appeared in the cell where he had killed the demon beast.
As soon as he logged in, the game announcement popped up in front of him.
“Chat section? So we can chat in-game from now on?”
Su Nan was surprised; he had previously thought that there would be no chat feature in this game, but it seems like it just hadn’t been opened yet.
Instead of exploring the chat feature, he immediately opened the task bar.
[Daily Task 1: Kill a Guard]
[Daily Task 2: Kill a Mortal-level Demon]
[Daily Task 3: Escape from Prison]
Three daily tasks, two of which were already quite familiar to him.
Even now, using the role of “Zhang Yang” could not escape from these.
Even the third task, escaping from prison, overlaps with the first part of his mainline task, both being three-star level.
“I must find a way to leave the prison as soon as possible!”
For the Mainline Task “Demon Crisis,” there are a total of twenty days to complete it. Five days had already passed, leaving only fifteen days in the countdown.
Most importantly, the task of escaping from prison is just the first stage, and the subsequent tasks will definitely be more difficult.
He has to leave enough time for the later tasks.
[Survival Trial Mission: Mandatory Task]
[Outsiders, your massive arrival has completely attracted the attention of the demons. The ancient wise ones among the demons prophesized that your appearance will completely break the long-term dominant position of demons in this world. Your arrival is a disaster for the demons, something they absolutely will not tolerate.]
[To kill you in your cradle, the Twelve Demon Emperors ordered a 15-day annihilation campaign targeting you. During this period, all Mortal-level demons will receive the support of the Twelve Demon Emperors, making their strength slightly stronger.]
[Task requirement: Don’t die more than ten times within 15 days, and bring a Demon Scripture to Perfection.]
[Task Difficulty: Three stars.]
[Task Reward: One Demon Scripture, one Bloodline, 15 Demon Points.]
[Failure Penalty: Permanently deprived of game qualifications]
[During the task period, the personal realm rankings will be open, and players in the rankings will receive a large number of additional rewards at the end of the mission.]
“There’s actually a penalty for failing this task?”
“Permanently deprived of game qualifications? That’s too harsh a punishment!”
Su Nan frowned. Even in ordinary games, being permanently deprived of game qualifications would be a huge punishment, let alone in a game as unusual as this one.
Fortunately, of the two task conditions, he had already completed one of them. As long as he does not die more than ten times in the next fifteen days, there should be no problem.
He opened his Personal Information Panel.
At the bottom of the panel, he could see a new rankings section and a chat box.
He opened the rankings.
A series of player information appeared in front of Su Nan.
[First Place: Wang Nan, Mortal Realm]
Great Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Great Accomplishment Demon Scripture: 0, Minor Achieved Demon Scripture: 0, Beginner Demon Scripture: 0
[Second Place: Qian Yu, Mortal Realm]
Great Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Perfection Demon Scripture: 0, Great Accomplishment Demon Scripture: 1, Minor Achieved Demon Scripture: 0, Beginner Demon Scripture: 0
[Third Place: Zhou Cheng, Mortal Realm]
Great Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Perfection Demon Scripture: 0, Great Accomplishment Demon Scripture: 1, Minor Achieved Demon Scripture: 0, Beginner Demon Scripture: 0
…
[Tenth Place: Ye Tao, Mortal Realm]
Great Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Perfection Demon Scripture: 0, Great Accomplishment Demon Scripture: 0, Minor Achieved Demon Scripture: 0, Beginner Demon Scripture: 0
[Eleventh Place: Jiang Chen, Mortal Realm]
Great Perfection Demon Scripture: 0, Perfection Demon Scripture: 1, Great Accomplishment Demon Scripture: 0, Minor Achieved Demon Scripture: 0, Beginner Demon Scripture: 0
…
[Your current ranking: 814]
At a glance, Su Nan instantly saw his own name.
There was no way to avoid it; the position of the first place was too eye-catching, so it was impossible not to notice.
“First place, huh? It seems my progress is not slower than others.”
Su Nan let out a sigh of relief, somewhat surprised but not too surprised.
He had entered the game a week later than other players, and it had only been five days since he started.
Luckily, he had completed the Novice Task, which was a Four-star Task, and then, with the help of his foreknowledge talent, he completed several Two-star Tasks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have made it into the top ten yet.
“Lots of hidden talents here – I can’t believe there’s actually nine other players who have Great Demon Art Perfection. I never saw any of them on the forum before.”
All the top ten players in the ranking had at least one Great Perfection Demon Scripture.
It wasn’t until the eleventh place that a player with a Perfection Demon Scripture appeared.
This didn’t even include the defeated Li Xuheng. Otherwise, there would be eleven players with Great Demon Art Perfection.
The progress of the second and third-ranked players, Qian Yu and Zhou Cheng, was only slightly slower than Su Nan’s, having already brought their second Demon Scripture to Great Accomplishment.
Except for the third-ranked Zhou Cheng, Su Nan had never heard of any of the others. It was as if they had popped up out of nowhere.
Without the rankings, it would be hard to believe that in such a difficult game, which had only been out for a little over a dozen days, there were already so many players with Great Demon Art Perfection.
“I can’t underestimate anyone; these people are all really tenacious!” Su Nan sighed quietly.
Little did he know, the other players on the ranking list were also falling silent at this time.
They thought they could at least rank in the top three, but they never expected that there would be so many people who had reached Great Demon Art Perfection.
Especially when they saw that Su Nan was just one step away from having his second demon scripture at Great Perfection, they couldn’t help but gasp.
Zhou Cheng, in particular, was most unwilling to accept this. He had already regarded the first place as his own, never thinking that he would only be ranked third, which was hard for him to accept.
“I’m not even in first place! Where did these monsters come from?”
“That shouldn’t be! With my perfect start, how could anyone else be ahead of me?”
“Wang Nan? Who is this person? How many Two-star tasks did he have to do to bring his second Demon Scripture to Perfection in such a short time?”
“Find him! No matter what, we must find him.”
…
At the same time.
In the prison where Su Nan was located, Zhang Feng logged into the game.
This time, he did not appear in Cell No. 19 but in the corridor outside Cell No. 19.
Yesterday, with the help of two other players, his luck finally exploded, and he managed to escape from the cell.
Without taking the time to celebrate, he immediately looked at the rankings, wanting to see his position.
At the moment when he saw the name of the player ranked first, Zhang Feng was stunned and looked towards Cell No. 19 subconsciously.
“Wang Nan? Could it be that guy?”
Thinking back to the player he had met in the cell four days before, Zhang Feng couldn’t believe it.
He immediately quit the game.
Whether it was him or not, he had to check it out.
