I'm the only player

Chapter 338 [Taiyue City]

The cave was dark inside, but the space was quite large. A dozen people could walk side by side without feeling crowded. The only thing was the entrance, which was a little small and could only accommodate one person.

At first, the ground beneath his feet was hard and hard. As He Sheng walked, he suddenly found that the ground beneath his feet became soft. So he bent down and reached out to rub it.

The feel of the thing in his hand, the sharpness of the edge, and the smell of grass flowing into his nostrils, he almost immediately determined what it was.

"Grass?"

"We are halfway through the journey. Grass will only appear when we are halfway through. Experts say that it is the energy from the demon's lair that is escaping outwards.

It is said that in the past, there was only a few small grasses growing at the opposite entrance, and kindergarten children could count them. Hundreds of years later, it extended from the exit to half of the passage. In another few hundred years, it might spread to the entrance of Taiyue University. "

Upon hearing this, Shi Si explained with a little sadness.

A few minutes later, two large doors emitting a glowing halo appeared in front of them, blocking the road.

"Taiyue is number one!"

Shi Si walked forward and shouted at the circular hole composed of hundreds of small holes.

After a while, the two doors made a loud roar and slowly opened to both sides.

"The approval slip contains the password for entering the Demon Kingdom today. By the way, the demon's lair is quite special. The most notable point is that all hot weapons cannot be used.

Some modern methods fail in the demon lair, so we can only use more primitive devices. It seems that there are some rules set against us in the demon lair.

As long as hot weapons can be used, not to mention being able to flatten them all, at least 80% of the demon nests will all become the second paradise for mankind."

No wonder he sounded a little melancholy in the passage just now.

As he spoke, two huge and heavy doors opened, revealing the true appearance of the Demonic Kingdom.

The two of them left the cave, one in front and one behind.

The first time he entered a real demon's lair other than the simulated Snow Town, He's eyes widened.

Good guy!
The important parts of the original simulated snow town are the first two words - simulation.

The huge space opened up underground by Snow Eagle City, although there are various natural scenes such as the sun, are actually just simulations. Candidates who enter the exam know that everything is fake except the monsters inside.

And what about the Demonic Kingdom?

A vast and real space with the sun hanging high in the sky.

Blue sky, white clouds, warm sunshine, and even fresh air. There are no tall buildings, only landscapes similar to those in ancient times.

The Demon Kingdom city that Taiyue University conquered did not undergo much renovation. The occasional modern objects that appeared in his sight were a bit out of place, but not too much. Moreover, for him, there was a feeling of time and space being disrupted, which was quite novel.

Looking back, above the entrance of the cave, there was a sign saying [Taiyue University Entrance and Exit].

"Approval."

Two fully armed, armored men stepped forward. Because they were wearing helmets, their faces could not be seen clearly. Their exposed eyes were sharp, and they were definitely ruthless people who had seen blood, or a lot of blood.

"This is Vice President Li's note."

Shi Si handed it over with both hands. He personally admired the people stationed in the Demon Kingdom. They were really fighting for the future of mankind.

Moreover, in the demon lair, no matter what your background is, you must abide by the rules. Because those rules are all paid for with human lives.

Of course, if you are at the level of the Three Gods of the Federation, or someone below them, you don't need that. If you have the strength, you can do whatever you want.

Don't get me wrong, doing whatever you want is directed at demons, not at your own people.

"It's your duty!"

After reading the note, the two men put away their sharp gazes.

"It's better to be strict. It's better to be strict."

Shi Si knew it well. It was not uncommon for someone to attack the entrance to the Demon Kingdom in the past. Those who neglected their duties would not even be allowed to enter the pioneer group and would be executed directly.

Since then, let alone the elites of Taiyue University, anyone below the president and vice president who dared to force their way in without a permit would be finished if everyone in the city didn't do anything about it. It would be fine if we killed you, and the federal government would reward you.

"These two badges are proof that you two are within the city of Taiyue and within a hundred miles. If you go beyond a hundred miles and encounter a patrol, they have the right to escort you back.

If the two of you dare to resist, according to the federal "Witch and Magic Case" and "Espionage Act", the patrol has the right to kill you on the spot without any responsibility. "

After the warning, the two turned around and continued to guard the door.

Shi Si took the badge and handed it to He Sheng.

He reached out to take it, and saw that there were words on both sides of the badge.

On the front, it reads: [Taiyue University·Horizontal Training Department·Freshman·Congratulations on your victory].

On the back, there were seven large characters: [Activity range is one hundred miles], and another line of smaller characters: [Within a range of one hundred miles of Taiyue City, you can move freely and accept missions. If you exceed one hundred miles, the consequences will be at your own risk].

Among them, the two words "He Sheng" were obviously carved later. Judging from the roughness of the handwriting, it is obvious that they were carved with fingers.

"What level are they?"

"The minimum requirement is a fifth-level warrior. After all, it's an entrance and exit, so you have to be cautious." Shi Si held up the badge, and his name was also engraved on it.

"Our portraits should have been sent to the City Lord's Mansion by now. When we return from the city, there will be another set of strict inspections. If there is any discrepancy between the two documents, we will be sent directly to prison and await the second round of screening."

In response to this, the man surnamed He asked.

"Has someone pretended to be the owner of the badge before? And caused a big mess?"

"It's more than a big mess, but it's not the demon country that our Taiyue University suppressed. It's Tianhuan University, one of the four top universities. A demon pretending to be the owner of the waist badge sneaked into Tianhuan City and directly caused the entire city to be breached.

If it weren't for the timely support from experts from all over the country, the demons might have come out from underground. How many people died suddenly? After that, the entire university, from the president to the director, was emptied. "After a pause, he continued.

"Speaking of which, although the current principal and his people are not very good and only know how to make money, they have managed Tianhuan City, the lair of demons, like an iron bucket and spent a lot of money.

Those demons were unwilling to give up, and organized dozens of counterattacks over the past few decades, but they suffered heavy losses and were defeated at the foot of the iron-clad Tianhuan City. After that, there was a period of peace for a full fifteen years. "

Shi Si sighed, it is obvious that the president of Tianhuan University knows the importance of things. While taking advantage of the situation, he did not forget why he became the president in the first place.

"The Demonic Kingdom's Taiyue City was actually renamed after it was conquered. Before, when it was under the Demonic Kingdom, it was called [Mogudo]. Those experts who study demonic languages ​​say that [Mogudo] means a city that will never fall."

At this point, Shi Si couldn't help but laugh.

It's really laughable that the city that the demons said would never fall has fallen into the hands of humans.

"At the beginning, our principal was not the principal, but the dean of the military academy. He was alone with a sword, and he cut open the city wall with one sword, and in the process, he killed the general guarding the city.

Afterwards, the warriors who entered the city later fought bloody battles for fifteen days, at the cost of 15,000 deaths among the 50,000 soldiers and many injuries, before they finally captured the city.

The principal did not fight for five years, and would not show up in public. Five years later, the then president of Taiyue University announced that he would be promoted to vice president in charge of teaching and security.

Ten years later, he entered the Demon Kingdom again. He happened to see a general of the Demon Kingdom attacking the city, but when he saw the current principal, he led his army to retreat without saying a word.

Then, after this incident, he successfully became the principal from the vice-president. He was promoted so quickly that there is no other example in the entire Western Federation."

Shi Si walked on the ancient streets, telling the legendary deeds of Principal Liu.

"The center of Taiyue City is the City Lord's Mansion, where there are many students and even warriors from other places. Patrolling, monitoring, killing monsters, collecting rare treasures, etc. The more dangerous the task, the more credits you will get.

For tasks with high credits, there are many requirements for the people who accept the tasks. If you are not good enough, you are not allowed to accept the task. The simplest one is to stand guard. For those with lower strength, they can just stand on the city wall and that's it. It's a benefit given to newcomers by our university.

A task that is a little more free and less boring is to enter the City Lord's Mansion and take on tasks that follow the army, such as patrolling and mediating disputes among warriors.

A more dangerous mission is to work with the military to arrest the exposed demon followers. For example, after the law enforcement officers in a certain city wiped out a certain stronghold, they used a series of means to get the true identity of their core members.

If those exposed demon followers were outside, it would be easy to deal with them, they could just be caught. If they were in the demon's lair, they would need military personnel to arrest them. However, under normal circumstances, the new recruits who came to the demon's lair would not need to take action.

The newcomers are responsible for investigating the range of activities and interpersonal relationships of the demon followers in the city. After the interrogation on the other side is completed, they will follow the veterans to capture some people who are not so strong, and continue to investigate interpersonal relationships, range of activities, and search for more evidence. "

"Eh? What are you looking at me with? Brother Sheng, no matter how strict the inspection is, it can't stop the demon believers from having strong infiltration and hiding abilities. When I was in college, I had a good brother who shared a dormitory with me.

During the four years, he was like my half-brother. He was friendly and merciless in killing demons. He was even seriously injured while saving a classmate. At that time, the whole school reported his heroic deeds.

Who showed up? I worked for three years after graduation, and the next time we met, it was in prison! He turned out to be a demon believer. Thanks to him, I was investigated by the federal government for three months.

The investigators were even worse. They even found out exactly what color underwear I wore every day in college. They even found out who I had been a lapdog for. Fuck!"

Shi Si was extremely resentful, and it made sense. He was from a prominent family, and the federal government could find out what color underwear he wore every day, which was almost like stripping him naked and criticizing him.

Even if he is a good-tempered young master, he is still a young master. Moreover, even if he is not a young master, ordinary people will also feel angry when encountering such a situation.

After all, people are not perfect. After careful investigation, the things that were done in the past were exposed, which was really hard to accept, such as browser records.

I am not afraid of being smashed to pieces, I just want to keep my innocence in this world!

"This is a commercial street. There are vendors on both sides. They don't accept federal currency. You can either exchange it for credits or barter. The prices are cheaper than those sold by the federal government and the school, so many students like to come here.

Some people took advantage of the situation to become dealers, and some people did make a fortune in the early days. Later, the federal government and the university issued an order that anyone who wanted to bring the stuff in the demon's lair into the federal territory had to pay a tax.

Some people either use the money themselves in Taiyue City and leave after use. Other wealthy and powerful families who issue tasks choose to pay taxes, which increases the income of Taiyue University and the federal government. "

He Sheng glanced around and saw that almost all the stalls had signs saying they were buying something.

"The best Fire Scale Stone can speed up the practice of fire-attribute [Spells]."

"Snake slough grass, a herb that increases one's flexibility, is on sale for a low price. Only fifty-five credits for one snake slough grass."

"Freshly-made water demon scales, highly resistant to water-attribute attacks. No credits accepted, only rare treasures of earth-attribute."

Seeing a newcomer coming, the stall owners on both sides of the meeting started shouting even louder.

"The people who set up stalls in the commercial street don't have anything valuable in their hands. Even if they do, they will be bought immediately. However, some people don't know the value of things and sell good things as garbage. Occasionally, someone can find something good.

But there are very few cases, at most two or three times in half a year, which is quite regular. I once suspected that the stall owners colluded and staged their own drama to attract customers. "

Shi Si looked depressed, as if he had been fooled.

"For some high-end items, you have to go to the shops on the commercial street. The more famous ones are [Treasure Pavilion], [Wealth Shop], and [Taiyue University Commodity Store].

[Zhenbao Pavilion] is a chain store, and there are shops in many strongholds and cities in demon nests. The people behind it are those hereditary city lords. From ancient times to the present, the demon nests suppressed by their own cities have been painstakingly managed by hundreds of generations. It is half of their back garden, so naturally there are many interesting things.

Although the name of [Fugui Shop] is a bit earthy, the company has a great background. It is a company controlled by many famous and prestigious families. With such a strong background, many precious things can be obtained as long as you can pay the price.

[Taiyue University Merchandise Store] Needless to say, it's a store opened by our school, and it's a public store. Show your student ID and you can get a 20% discount. For good stuff, you can get a 10% discount at most, which is considered to be a way of taking care of our students."

As they were talking, they were halfway there when suddenly someone shouted.

"Brothers, the City Lord's Mansion has issued a new mission! Clear out the scattered small groups of demon soldiers within a radius of 300 miles. One hundred credits for a first-level demon, and so on!

In addition, the credits earned through this mission can be exchanged for some rare treasures in the City Lord's Mansion, so everyone should go and claim the mission."

In one word, most of the stall owners in the commercial street closed their stalls immediately.

In a moment, the commercial street, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became deserted, with only two or three cats and kittens still holding their "positions".

"???"

"Hurry up and don't delay. Every time the City Lord's Mansion issues a similar task, the things that can be exchanged for credits are not simple." After he finished speaking, Shi Si grabbed He Sheng's arm and ran all the way.
