Monster collectors on the cross-platform

A series of soft but urgent shouts woke Huo from his daze.

Is this a high school?

Huo looked up at the familiar blackboard, his deskmate who looked familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, and her sitting at the desk in front of him.

The familiar surroundings made Huo feel a little dazed.

As the homeroom teacher entered the classroom, the quiet chatter that had been taking place immediately vanished.

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium for a while, then left the classroom and returned to his office.

It's evening self-study time now, and as long as there's not too much noise, the teacher won't be too strict.

Huo glanced down at the math test paper on the table. It looked familiar, but looking at the questions, he couldn't remember the formulas.

In his previous life, Huo Huan's science grades were quite good, so he did the most math tests.

Compared to English, which you can't understand, and Chinese, which you can't comprehend, math is much easier for Huo to grasp; he just needs to find the right formula.

"Hey, tomorrow's the weekend, do you want to go to town for a stroll?"

The girl sitting in front of Huo Huan turned around and asked him in a low voice.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Huo still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions when he actually saw her again.

In his previous life, he loved her, and she knew he loved her too, but they never ended up together; it was all just his unrequited love.

They later went to different universities, but they never lost contact until he attended her wedding.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question, why are you spacing out again, like a complete idiot?" the girl complained playfully.

"I'll probably go," Huo replied, still somewhat confused, giving an ambiguous answer.

The girl didn't mind, and turned her head with great interest to whisper to Huo.

Huo looked at the girl's excited little face as she earnestly described her plans for tomorrow, but at this moment Huo could no longer hear what she was saying; all he could see was her voice and smile.

"Brother! Brother!"

But all of this is ultimately just an illusion; no matter how beautiful it was, it's just a memory from the past.

When a phantom-like shout rang in his ears, Huo knew it was time to say goodbye.

After taking one last deep look at the girl sitting in the front row, Huo stood up and unleashed all the power within him without reservation.

The next second, the surrounding scenery distorted, and when everything became clear again, Huo was back in the cave.

Nothing had changed; the giant sea turtle still stood before Huo Huan, with Isia calling out anxiously behind him.

"For the sake of that dream you just gave me, I'll just give you a quick death," Huo said abruptly before transforming.

His hands transformed into blades, and his lower body also took on a spider-like form.

One strike, a thousand kills!

A sharp glint of light flashed in the dark cave, and the next second, Huo, who had been in front of the giant sea turtle, was now behind it.

Without glancing at the giant sea turtle behind him again, Huo deactivated his transformation and summoned the Book of Collection.

The book of treasures is unfolded, and the sea turtle is taken into custody.

A few seconds later, the giant sea turtle vanished from its spot, leaving only a drop of blood, about the size of a little finger, suspended in mid-air, its black and red color tinged with a hint of gold.

Is this the blood of an evil god?

Huo looked curiously at the blood floating in mid-air and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

Unexpectedly, the moment it came into contact with the drop of blood, it immediately merged into Huo Huan's body and disappeared without a trace.

Unauthorized intrusion detected; cleanup process initiated...

[Network notification: Player has successfully cleaned up the pollution source on Tuoma Star. Rewards are being calculated. Please wait...]

Is the cleaning done?

Huo scratched his head. He had thought he was going to suffer a terrible fate after the evil god's blood entered his body, but he never expected that he would be at the stage of settling the rewards.

A few seconds later, the reward settlement on the network ended. With just this drop of blood, Huo Huanjin received nearly 40,000 contribution points. In addition, with the many evil monsters he eliminated along the way, Huo Huanjin now has more than 45,000 contribution points.

So that's it? Huo glanced at the information on the integrated network panel with some hesitation, and only after confirming that the source of pollution had indeed been cleaned up did he realize that it was really over.

At least for Huo Huan, this planet is over. As for the subsequent reconstruction and the cleanup of the remaining monsters, Huo Huan naturally will not participate.

It's time-consuming and laborious, and the rewards aren't high, so it's not suitable for high-combat-capable personnel like Huo Huan.

Huo shook his head, surprised that it was resolved so easily. He glanced at his contribution points and then opened the exchange panel.

Compared to the previous battlefield, the quality of the exchange items this time was noticeably worse; at least, there was still no potion that could permanently increase attributes.

Moreover, most of the items available for exchange this time are technological products, such as energy guns and energy cannons. There are also a few spaceships available for exchange on the exchange interface, but these spaceships are very expensive, and Huo Huan cannot afford to exchange them with his contribution points.

Besides these technological products, there are also consumables such as potions and scrolls available for exchange, but Huo Huan is not very interested in these things, and there are not many consumables that can be of use to him.

In addition to these, Huo also unexpectedly discovered that there was a rare beast section in the exchange column that could be exchanged.

Seeing this section immediately reminded Huo of his previous experience in the Devil's Dungeon.

Slightly intrigued, Huo Huan flipped through the rare beast section, where images of all sorts of rare beasts immediately appeared before him, along with introductions to each of them.

Huo also took a quick look around. Although there were no powerful creatures like dragons in the rare animal enclosure, there were quite a few other species.

These creatures often possess unique abilities, which is why they are classified as rare animals and placed on the exchange interface for people to redeem.

For example, Huo also had his eye on a rare beast called the Cloud Beast. This rare beast was not particularly strong, but it had a unique ability to change its size at will, which was somewhat similar to the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form of the Eastern lineage.

Huo currently lacks a way to deal with large creatures. With the Cloud Beast's abilities, he won't have to worry about dealing minimal damage to powerful giant monsters in the future.

However, these rare beasts are all very expensive, and Huo Huan cannot afford to exchange for them at the moment. After taking a look, Huo Huan had no choice but to give up.

After closing the exchange panel, Huo Huan now has two choices: first, to exit the real battlefield and return to the gravedigger's hut; second, to leave the cave and return to the fortress via the same route.

Both options have their own advantages; the first one is speed.

Because Huo Huan has already cleaned up the pollution sources inside Tuoma Star, the next time Huo Huan enters, he will not appear directly inside Tuoma Star, but will appear on the spaceship as he did the first time he entered.

The first option allows for quicker deployment to the battlefield, but the downside is that you can't really choose your own location unless you continue to leave on the same spaceship you came in.

However, this back and forth is quite a waste of time.

The second method is to return to the fortress. Once the source of pollution on Tuoma Star is cleaned up, the human race's high command will be notified.

Huo only needs to clear out the monsters while waiting for the human race's higher-ups to make arrangements.

The advantage is that you can choose the planet you want to go to, but the disadvantage is that you need to wait for some time.

However, for Huo, this has never been a choice.

With Isia in tow, Huo then stepped through a portal and left the real battlefield.

Instead of waiting for the spaceship on the planet, it's better to go back and start over. Anyway, it doesn't matter what kind of planet it is to Huo.

Upon returning home, Huo first made himself a cup of hot tea.

The battles on the actual battlefield weren't particularly intense, but the long journey did leave Huo somewhat weary.

However, the final illusion made Huo feel that the journey wasn't entirely in vain.

The face that had faded from my memory became vivid again.

Perhaps it's because of his age, Huo still has a bit of nostalgia, but his memory isn't very good, so he can't remember many things anymore.

Especially after joining the online community, the daily battles have left Huo with no time to reminisce about the past.

Some might say that life should be about looking forward, but Huo believes that memories are the path one has walked, and there's nothing wrong with reminiscing occasionally.

Perhaps we did all sorts of stupid things that seem foolish to us now, but isn't that what youth is all about?

After taking a sip of hot tea, Huo Huan comfortably squinted his eyes. Although it was still early, Huo Huan didn't want to move anymore.

Although the long journey wasn't physically tiring for Huo, he was still mentally exhausted.

Huo spent the whole day lying at home like that.

The next morning, just as Huo Huan was preparing to set off for another real battlefield, an unexpected visitor interrupted his plans.

"Baron Rosenthal, what brings you here?" Huo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise. It seemed that more than a month had passed since they last met.

"Good morning, Your Excellency Huo Huan," Baron Rosenthal removed his hat and bowed to Huo Huan.

"Did something happen?"

"Well, this time it was mainly Duke Whiteman who contacted me," Baron Rosent quickly explained his purpose in response to Huo's inquiry.

It's still because of the Duke of Badmann's daughter last time.

Since Huo cured Duke Badman's daughter of her strange illness last time, Duke Badman has increased his manpower to prevent a second occurrence.

They also spent a lot of money to deploy a number of intelligence agents in Child City.

As a result of this arrangement, Duke Whiteman immediately gathered a lot of strange information.

For example, strange-looking people appearing on the streets at midnight, whispering in abandoned houses, and other bizarre news.

Before her daughter was cursed, Buttman would have dismissed such news as unreliable urban horror rumors.

However, after the incident involving his daughter, Duke Betmann naturally wouldn't ignore these strange reports.

After a long period of collecting and inquiring, Duke Bettmann finally confirmed recently that there were some suspicious supernatural humans wandering around Childe City.

Meanwhile, some missing persons cases in the city also point to these suspicious supernatural beings.

Recently, Duke Whiteman received intelligence that these supernatural humans were gathered together and seemed to be plotting something big.

Duke Buttmann felt uneasy when he thought about what had happened to his daughter.

Although he had a musketeer squad of several dozen men, out of caution regarding the supernatural power, Duke Whiteman contacted Baron Rosenthal, wanting to invite Ho to come and take charge.

Huo didn't mind going to Duke Whiteman's invitation; he was also curious about the curse that had been on the Duke last time.

As for the extraordinary level of this world, after several encounters, Huo also discovered that this world should be at a low level of magic.

The extraordinary abilities of various regions have faded, and they have clearly fallen into a significant disadvantage in the face of ever-growing technology.

If this trend continues for several more decades, the extraordinary may completely disappear from this world.
