Monster collectors on the cross-platform

In the gravedigger's hut, Huo wiped the cold sweat that had involuntarily appeared on his forehead.

The enormous demon's aura was truly astonishing; just standing there gave one a feeling of invincibility.

After catching his breath, Huo immediately began searching for information about the giant demon.

Upon opening the chat channel, as Huo was not surprised, there was indeed information about the giant devil in the group files.

The giant demon is called the Deep Hell Demon, the chief demon of the nine layers of hell, and a general of the hell legion. Its rank is equivalent to level 20 in the player's system, which is legendary.

Hiss! Upon seeing the other party's rank, Huo gasped, thinking he was making a small contribution to global warming in this other world.

Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have really died in the dungeon and entered a state of soul weakness.

Huo was curious about how the other players cleared this dungeon, so he started looking up specific strategies for the human faction.

After examining it carefully for a while, Huo also found two walkthroughs.

The first method is to rely solely on strength and fight head-on. As long as you kill the succubus before the portal opens, you can prevent the portal from opening. Both killing the succubus and preventing the portal from opening will earn you a reward.

The second method is to farm reputation. Once you have 3000 merits, the quartermaster will refresh the badge called Black Shield. Buy the badge with merits and give it to the general to unlock an extra mission to request reinforcements.

After completing the distress call, an adventure team will join the battle. Players will follow the adventure team to infiltrate the devil's fortress and destroy the teleportation array in advance.

The difficulty with the second method lies in the speed of completing the task. If players complete the task too slowly, the portal will be opened before the adventure team even joins the battle.

After reviewing both guides, Huo felt that the first method was more suitable for him, while the second method was relatively cumbersome and not to his liking.

After reviewing the strategy guide, Huo began to tally up his rewards from this dungeon run.

The experience gained increased by 6000, and the merit points, which were not exchanged for items, were directly converted into 6000 Zongwang coins upon exiting the dungeon.

As for the other collectibles, besides the horned demon, Huo also collected a batch of corpses before fleeing, among which happened to be a new collectible.

Race name: Horned Demon

Introduction: The horned demon's body and weapons are forged from the nine layers of hell. Born for battle, the horned demon is also adept at leading other demons into battle.

Traits: Robust Body, Hellish Tail Strike, Hellfire

Strong Body: As an outstanding weapon born from hell, the Horned Demon is born with a strong physique. When equipped, it increases the player's Strength, Constitution and Agility by 1.

Hell Tail Strike: The Horned Demon possesses a thick tail, which is also its sharp weapon. When equipped, the player will gain an additional retractable tail, and wounds caused by attacks from the tail will be difficult to heal.

Hellfire: ...

Race Name: Chain Demon

Introduction: Chain Demon is a devil skilled in deception, intimidation, and torture with vicious iron instruments, adept at prying secrets from imprisoned souls.

Traits: Terrifying Gaze, Grappling Chains

The Terrifying Gaze: The Chain Demon's unique appearance can cause enemies to have the illusion of their most feared things upon first sight. When equipped, staring at the opponent will cause them to make a saving throw. If the save fails, the opponent will fall into a state of panic. The difficulty of the save is related to the Perception attribute.

Grab Chain: The Chain Demon's unique body structure allows it to summon a chain at any time to bind enemies. When equipped, it will cause enemies to be additionally bound when the player grabs a target.

Upon seeing the Horned Demon's special effect, Huo immediately unloaded the Hedgehog Demon from his inventory.

The Hedgehog Demon has the same Hellfire Horned Demon effect as the Hedgehog Demon, and its Hedgehog Skin effect overlaps with the Bone Demon's Bone Spikes, thus it was unfortunately eliminated by the Hogan.

With the addition of the Horned Demon and various other attributes, Huo's Constitution attribute has reached 20 points, and his Strength attribute has reached 19 points. It should be noted that the Strength of the young Black Dragon is only around 19 points.

Of course, Huo is not yet comparable to any adult dragon, but Huo is only level 6, so his future is promising.

After taking stock of all his spoils, Huo still had two more runs of the Silent Town dungeon left. He thought for a moment and bought some Soul-Guiding Incense from Youcai.

Huo stepped through the portal and re-entered the silent town, then randomly found an open space and lit the soul-summoning incense.

The Holy Light Soul Annihilation Array's array diagram has been used up, but Huo no longer needs to rely on it to clear dungeons.

After casually crushing a howling banshee to death, Huo turned his gaze to the final boss of the dungeon—the Resurrected Corpse.

Bosses that used to be defeated only by using formations can now be easily defeated with just a few punches from Huo.

A dazzling array of colorful energies shimmered on Huo Huanquan's fist, and a semi-transparent soul emerged from the corpse of the resurrected zombie whose body had been shattered by three punches.

Huo Huan had a sudden thought, and a tail as thick as a forearm and about 2 meters long instantly sprouted from his tailbone.

With a touch of novelty, Huo controlled his tail, aiming the tip at the resurrected corpse's soul, and suddenly shot it out like an arrow.

The tail shot out very quickly, even slightly faster than Huo's punch.

Moreover, the tail is very flexible to control, as if it were an extra arm growing from the lower body.

The only problem was that it would stretch his pants to burst, and the feeling of being naked on his lower body made Huo very uncomfortable, since Huo didn't have any exhibitionism or anything like that.

"Looks like I'll have to stock up on more clothes and pants from now on," Huo thought to himself. With dragon wings and a devil's tail, Huo seemed to be going further and further down the path of being inhuman.

After putting away his tail, Huo immediately took out a new pair of pants from his spatial backpack and put them on before starting his second Silent Town instance of the day.

After completing the dungeon twice, in addition to the usual experience and network currency, this time a blue weapon dropped. Huo glanced at it and then put it in his spatial backpack, planning to sell it later.

After completing all the dungeons, Huo was left with nothing to do. He glanced at the sky and, finding it still quite bright, he made a rare trip to the cemetery.

The last time I came to the cemetery was because a necromancer came to steal a corpse. Huo was still wandering around the cemetery. After a few days of neglect, some weeds had already grown.

He reached out and swept the fallen leaves off the tombstone, while Huo controlled the hellfire to start baking the weeds.

The newly acquired ability is not easy to control. If it were just a normal punch that caused damage, that would be fine, but now Huo is thinking about leaving his body.

A tiny wisp of fire, under Huo Huan's control, crookedly crawled towards the weeds. The fire was so thin that one might suspect a gust of wind could extinguish it.

However, this seemingly small flame actually contains a lot of energy, more than enough to burn off the weeds in the cemetery.

After burning the weeds, Huo dispersed the flames and looked at the few traces of smoke on the tombstone.

Huo thought for a moment and then used another of his abilities, the low-level water elemental affinity he obtained from the Naga.

Huo also focused his mind, trying to mobilize the moisture in the humid air.

Soon, droplets of water began to condense in Huo Huan's palm. When the water sphere was the size of his palm, Huo Huan began to try to control the water sphere to clean the stains on the tombstone.

Under Huo Huan's control, the tombstones in the entire cemetery were given a brand new look.

Looking at his masterpiece, Huo nodded in satisfaction and returned to the tomb hut.

Chapter 57 Opening a Shop

The next morning, after having breakfast at Hope Restaurant, Huo completed his two runs of the Silent Town instance as usual.

After clearing out all the useless items from his backpack, Huo also began contacting Youcai to purchase materials needed for polishing his collectibles.

The Comprehensive Network Coins are really getting harder and harder to spend. Huo, who had almost spent all of his Comprehensive Network Coins, looked at the piles of materials in his backpack and couldn't help but sigh.

In particular, the materials needed for the Horned Demon are several times more expensive than other collectibles.

Seeing that his Zongwang coins were almost depleted, Huo once again considered opening a shop.

Huo Huan decided to take action and applied for a shop on the online platform. The rent wasn't expensive, and his daily earnings from dungeons were more than enough to cover it.

After buying a projection mirror, Huo also sorted out some of his other collections, marked them with prices, and then divided the house into two rooms: the outer room for customers to wait in, and the inner room for enchanting.

Soon, Huo Huan's Human Body Enchanting Shop opened. Huo Huan didn't put on any fancy opening ceremony. In the online gaming platform, there is no shortage of players. As long as what he can provide is attractive enough, he will naturally have no shortage of customers.

Sure enough, not long after, a handsome young man with short hair, wearing a T-shirt, walked in.

"Boss, how many enchantments can you give at most?" The young man looked at the projection screen for a while, then looked up and asked Huo Huan.

"Each person can only enchant one type at a time. To enchant a second type, the first one must be removed." Huo already knew about the number of enchantments when he acquired the rental skill, so he answered without hesitation when the guy asked him.

"I see." The young man looked at the projection mirror, hesitated for a moment, and then chose the Dirty Slime trait of the Lesser Demon.

The young man's choice was somewhat unexpected by Huo Huan. Huo Huan thought the young man would choose a collectible like the Dragon Vein Kobold Warlock, which has two powerful traits.

However, the customer must have had his reasons for making this choice, so Huo didn't ask any more questions. After reminding the young man that it might be a little painful, he guided him into the inner room to take off his shirt and lie face down on the massage bed.

Several days later, Huo performed human enchantment again without any rustiness. This is another advantage of being a player of the online game platform – once you have a certificate, you have a permanent one.

Huo skillfully painted on the young man's back, watching the man's back turn red and constantly seep sweat. Despite the pain, the young man remained silent, which Huo greatly admired.

This guy's performance is already better than most players. I didn't expect that someone with such a fresh and innocent appearance could have such amazing patience.

With Huo's skillful work, the enchanting was completed quickly.

After lying on the massage bed for a while, the young man didn't rush to get dressed and immediately started testing his new ability.

As the young man focused his attention, his originally short stature began to swell, gradually transforming him into a muscular man.

The young man pinched his own genuine muscles, nodded in satisfaction, and then shrunk his body.

After playing with it for 5 or 6 minutes and trying out everything he could think of, the young man paid and left satisfied.

Overall, the filthy slime trait of the lesser demon can only be altered to a limited extent, far less than polymorph. However, its advantage lies in its ability to be freely customized, such as minor modifications like having six fingers or no nose.

After seeing off the first customer, the second customer arrived quickly. This time, the customer's choice was exactly as Huo Huan had predicted: he immediately chose the Dragon Vein Kobold Warlock.

Obviously, most players wouldn't refuse the ability to breathe dragon breath, even if they could only do it once a day.

Huo Huan's business quickly got back on track, and after seeing off his tenth customer of the day, Huo Huan planned to take a break.

The continuous work had greatly depleted Huo Huan's collection value, and coupled with his mental exhaustion, Huo Huan was worried that continuing would lead to mistakes.

Seeing his wallet bulging again, Huo decided to treat himself to a good meal. He went to Hope Restaurant and, for the first time ever, ordered a deluxe set meal worth 100 network coins.

The shop owner looked at Huo Huan with some surprise. He didn't expect that Huo Huan, who was usually stingy, would suddenly become so generous. Could it be that he had struck it rich by luck?

The girl was surprised but didn't ask any questions. With a professional smile, she went to prepare the meal.

Soon, a table full of delicious food was laid out on Huo Huan's table.

After a busy morning, Huo couldn't help but be tempted by the delicious-looking food. He picked up a piece of meat he didn't recognize and started eating.

Mmm, this is delicious. It tastes a bit like pork but is chewier. This is also delicious; it chews like jelly.

After a hearty meal, Huo Huan devoured all the food in a flash, and several buffs appeared on his character panel at the same time.

He patted his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction, a feeling of fullness welling up inside him.

After eating and drinking his fill, Huo planned to take a stroll to digest his food. There were quite a few players setting up stalls on the online platform, but not many that suited him.

The most crucial monster corpses for players must have been dead for no more than one hour. However, due to the flow rate of the dungeon space, the monster corpses on the player stalls all had been dead for more than one hour.

Furthermore, since only players and their summoned creatures can access the online platform, it would be difficult for Huo to purchase more collectibles.

However, it's very difficult; with enough Zongwang coins, it's not impossible.

For example, slave contracts. Slaves are the property of players and can naturally be traded on the online platform. However, the contract price is expensive, and no player would contract ordinary monsters. Therefore, the price of slaves is generally quite high.
