Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 363 Going to the Demon Village to Buy Goods
The third major challenge in Demon Village is the Demon Mountain Cave, which also increases the difficulty to level C.

However, Cheng Tian's growth rate still surpasses the difficulty of the dungeon. More importantly, Cheng Tian has completed the job change quest and become an extremely powerful magic-based character.

When Cheng Tian stepped back into the Demon Village, the template of the magic vampire hunter "Zuster Belmont" returned to Cheng Tian at the same time. The magic output ability that the Heart Priest was relatively lacking was fully replenished, and it could even be said to be off the charts!
The "Zust Magic Book," possessing five different attributes, was integrated into Cheng Tian's Book of Ys in the form of a template weapon. As the pages turned, a total of seven different magical fluctuations, including the "Holy Radiance" and "Nightmare" attributes inherent in the Book of Ys, began to swirl and revolve around the book and Cheng Tian himself.

When the demons lurking in the Demon Mountain Cave, especially the Crimson Demons who had a racial hatred for Cheng Tian, ​​saw him, the overwhelming intensity of his magic instilled a strong sense of fear in them, and they dared not approach him easily.

If Cheng Tian were to activate his Nightmare form, they might just consider him an ally.

If there's anything to regret, it's that the orb triggered by the three-ball spell this time was a "green shock orb," meaning there's no way to earn money... but at least our gluttons got to eat their fill!

The process still began with gathering souls. Once they had collected 199, Bazett, the Primal Wyvern, and the Ghost Cicada, which was summoned for the third time, were responsible for attracting and gathering monsters. Meanwhile, Cheng Tian prepared the Vibration Orb and freely combined it with magical elements to create one monster-clearing spell after another with different attributes.

With the combination of the green vibration orb and magic, monsters died instantly in droves, and beside their dissipating corpses, a large number of roasted turkeys, vegetable platters, C-grade individual rations, fruit baskets, pizzas, hamburgers... popped up...

Cheng Tian also discovered that the green shock orb did not only drop Round Table Knights-themed food, but instead put all the food that could drop from all the dungeons he had experienced in the past into the same drop pool.

This is probably because the original drop pool in Ghosts 'n Goblins didn't have any "food" items.

Compared to the various valuable items that can be directly converted into cash from the Red Vibration Orb, the space recycling price of food is still acceptable, but the number that can be carried is drastically reduced. The weakest recovery effect can only stack up to 9, while the largest recovery effect can only stack up to 2 to 3.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Cheng Tian simply released the mammoth, pterosaur, and tyrannosaurus in turn, and had Bazett eat like crazy.

Since portions had been reserved for Eileen and Fina in advance, it wasn't exactly eating alone...

The monsters in the Demon Mountain Cave are mainly vampire bats, followed by a large-scale return of zombie units. Occasionally, you can see human-faced stone statues with the characteristics of guard towers along the way, as well as the Red Demon clan, who have a blood feud with Cheng Tian.

However, Cheng Tian and his group simply crushed their way through, and almost without exception, all of these monsters became the source of delicious food and props.

Of course, Cheng Tian didn't forget to collect all the hidden items and easter eggs in this authentic dungeon.

Valuable items include a king statue and a windmill, two pieces of knight's armor, a spear, and a fireball.

But the most noteworthy is a king statue that gleams with gold.

[The King's Statue Curse: Hidden Easter Egg, Valuable Item. The originally valuable king's statue has been cursed with a terrible transformation curse, which will forcibly change the form of anyone who comes into contact with it.]

To others, the item will appear to glow with gold and will be labeled as "valuable." However, touching it will immediately trigger a "transformation curse" effect, forcing the person who touches it to transform into a "frog" for 5 to 10 seconds.

This effect can only be triggered once.

[Additional comment: Kissing the cursed person will remove the frog-turning curse sooner.]

Because Cheng Tian knew the effect of this thing beforehand, the golden light on the king statue turned red after he stared at it for more than a minute, and the "curse" suffix on the prop slowly appeared.

It's no wonder they're the kind of despicable developers who put demos in arcades next to their companies during game development, secretly observing player progress and making changes to the easiest parts. By the time players reach the third level and are used to the idea that the King's statue equals points, they've included this cursed statue. It's safe to say that every player encountering it for the first time is bound to suffer a loss because of this cursed statue Easter egg.

And the producer's despicable behavior goes far beyond that... They put a Captain-level Red Devil next to the cursed statue!
He's a living Yama, that's right.

Cheng Tian, ​​on the other hand, used the Heart Barrier to indirectly lift it up and put it into his inventory, not knowing who he planned to let suffer the curse.

Not far from where the cursed statue was taken is the final boss battle area of ​​the third act of Ghosts 'n Goblins.

Before the tightly closed steel gate leading out of the cave, a flying dragon coiled up, and it was the kind that combined the weaknesses of both East and West.

As the boss guarding the gate, this flying dragon's appearance is similar to the five-clawed dragon in my country. It is long and thin, but has no claws. When it flies, it seems to be lifted into the air by some kind of telekinetic force.

The Flying Dragon is a purely mechanical boss. Only its head is a hit point. After being attacked to a certain extent, the dragon's body will explode piece by piece like an insect until only the lonely head is left flying in the air, like a flying head.

Besides the fact that only the dragon head is the judgment point, it is also completely immune to throwing attacks from "spear" type weapons.

The FC version of Ghosts 'n Goblins is so bad because some bosses are immune to a single weapon, and sometimes the high-attack-speed throwing knives that players desperately save up along the way become the culprits that prevent them from defeating the boss.

The dragon died, or rather, it didn't last long against Cheng Tian and his group. If the Primal Wyvern hadn't deliberately fought it one-on-one for a while, the subjugation might have been much faster.

Due to the overwhelming advantage in combat, coupled with Cheng Tian's aggressive farming, the strength of the BOSS treasure chest plummeted to the Bronze level, yielding only a single blue-grade excellent dragon head material, which was better than nothing.

Upon returning to his new space, Cheng Tian happened to hear a familiar knocking sound.

No doubt about it, it's Eileen.

Upon seeing a table full of high-calorie junk food, Eileen instinctively grabbed a Burger King and was about to stuff it into her mouth when a recovery item popped up in front of her.

"...So extravagant?"

After a moment of surprise, Eileen asked a thought-provoking question.

Cheng Tian didn't say anything, but silently took out a dragon head and waved it in front of Eileen.

"This thing can most likely help strengthen your dragon head robotic arm. Call me something nice, and I'll give it to you."

"father!"

The half-elf archer did not hesitate for a moment.
