Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Huo rubbed his hands together excitedly, wondering what kind of change in strength this level upgrade would bring him.

Chapter 70 Harvest

Upon opening the personal panel, several connection prompts appear.

[Network notification: You have met the upgrade requirements]

Your job level has been increased to 7.

Based on your profession, your maximum collection value +10, and your loading slots +2.

You have activated the profession skill: Exhibition Hall.

It's another skill whose effects are unknown just by looking at the name. Huo is currently in the dungeon, so he has temporarily put aside the newly acquired skill and started thinking about how to deal with the 13000 merit points he has.

It's not that Huo doesn't want to exchange everything for Zongwang coins, but he feels that exchanging them directly would be a bit of a loss. He'd rather see what he can exchange for at the Supply Department first.

Having made up his mind, Huo greeted the general, spread his wings, and returned first.

Huo Huan flew very fast, and soon the magnificent fortress came into view.

Huo folded his wings and landed at the fortress gate, entering through a small door and heading straight for the quartermaster.

"Honorable warrior, is there anything I can do for you?" The bearded quartermaster immediately stood up from behind his desk when he saw that the man was Huo Huan.

Huo Huan wondered if it was just his imagination, but the bearded quartermaster in front of him seemed even more respectful than before.

"Let me see what I can exchange." However, Huo didn't care much about this and directly explained his purpose to the bearded man.

"Please wait a moment," the bearded man bowed respectfully, quickly walked behind the table, and took out a list from the drawer that Huo had never seen before.

Huo took the list with some curiosity and found that the contents were completely different from what he had seen before.

When Huo first entered, the exchange list only contained some blue equipment and ordinary consumables, but the list he had now actually included purple equipment that could be exchanged.

Name: Frost Greatsword (Purple)

Category: Weapons

Weight: 20 kg

Effects: Frost, Freeze, Solidify, Control Ice, Extend Lifespan

Description: This is a greatsword forged primarily from frost gold, possessing a craftsmanship approaching the limits of mortal skill. It is approximately 2 meters long, with a hard blade that grants its wielder the power to control frost. When attacking enemies, it inflicts freezing damage. Furthermore, due to the special power of frost gold, it can slow down the aging process of its wielder, indirectly extending their lifespan.

The first item on the list was a greatsword of purple quality, which had a very good effect, allowing one to control frost within a small area. However, Huo was still used to fighting bare-handed and knew nothing about swords.

Moreover, this greatsword requires a considerable amount of military merit, a full 1 military merits, which is equivalent to 1 Zongwang coins.

Skipping the greatsword for now, Huo continued looking down. Below the greatsword was a set of Frost Armor, which should be part of the same set as the greatsword. Its exchange price was as high as 15,000, even more expensive than the greatsword.

In terms of equipment, apart from these two items, the rest are all blue-quality equipment, but the effects are much better than what we saw on the previous list, and of course, the prices are also higher.

After turning the page on equipment, Huo looked at the consumables section.

All the usual consumables, such as strength potions, agility potions, and stamina potions, were readily available, and according to Huo's recollection, the prices were about the same as those sold on online platforms.

Besides various regular potions, Huo also saw some magic scrolls, ranging from the lowest level, the first-circle spell Burning Hand, to the highest level, the fifth-circle spell Bigby's Hand. Huo also discovered that each of these fifth-circle spell scrolls could only be exchanged for one, and the price was not low, with any fifth-circle spell starting at 2000.

Huo looked it over and finally chose a fifth-circle spell scroll that could 'resurrect the dead'. It wasn't for his own use, but to prevent himself from being left without a means of resurrection if a close person died unexpectedly.

After looking at the consumables section, Huo then looked at the materials section at the end.

The materials section contained even more items. Apart from materials from some extraordinary creatures, most of them were extraordinary ores, which were not very useful to Huo Huan. Moreover, if Huo Huan wanted materials, he could simply contact professional merchants to purchase them.

"What's wrong, warrior? Did you not find the item you wanted?" Seeing Huo still staring at the list, looking hesitant, the bearded quartermaster stepped forward and asked.

"That's right, nothing here seems particularly suitable for me," Huo replied frankly in response to the quartermaster's question.

“Since you haven’t found a suitable one, Warrior, perhaps you could try going to Archmage Max,” the quartermaster suggested.

"Grand Master Max, thank you for your guidance." Huo stroked his chin thoughtfully, nodded to the quartermaster, and left the quartermaster's office.

"Good luck, warrior," the quartermaster said goodbye to Huo.

Archmage Max is still on the front lines, but the fighting there has ended. When Ho returned, he was already clearing the battlefield, so he should be back soon.

Thinking this way, Huo stopped rushing and found a shady spot to sit on the ground and wait for the Grand Master to return.

He casually opened the Book of Collections, but he still hadn't read the book about the lustful demon Huo that he had previously collected.

Turning to the page about lust, a delicate illustration of a lustful demon caught Huo Huan's eye.

Race Name: Succubus

Introduction: The 'Nemesis' of Hell, though cast into Hell, practices sacred justice in another way, serving the Demon Grand Duke and frequently hunting down those who break their oaths.

Traits: Natural beauty, animated ropes, magic resistance

Naturally Beautiful: Succubi are the most beautiful of all demons. Legend has it that the first Succubi were fallen angels from a higher plane. Equipping this item will increase the player's charm by 1.

Activated Rope: A unique entanglement rope for the Succubus, capable of automatically capturing an enemy and binding them. Once equipped, the player can summon an Activated Rope, consuming 5 Collection Points per minute. The binding effect on the enemy is determined by the user's strength.

Magic Resistance: Succubi have a natural resistance to spells and other magical effects. When equipped, the player's energy resistance increases by 2.

After reading the introduction of the Desire Demon, Huo immediately dragged it into the loading bar.

Seeing that his Charm attribute on the panel had increased to 11 points, Huo used a low-level water element affinity to condense a water mirror in his hand.

Looking at himself in the water mirror, Huo touched the stubble on his chin, hesitated for a moment, and looked himself up and down. He felt that nothing had changed. Could these attribute points be fake?

"Never mind," Huo shook his head, putting aside his doubts, and gathered his energy to summon a rope slightly thicker than a finger.

The animated rope twisted and turned, like a nimble little snake, constantly changing shape according to Huo Huan's wishes.

Huo Huan had a sudden thought and pointed to a stone by the roadside.

The activated rope shot out quickly and bound the stone that Huo had pointed to tightly.

Huo Huan had a sudden thought, and the activated rope binding the stone immediately tightened inward. A few seconds later, accompanied by a 'crackling' sound, the stone was completely crushed into pieces by the activated rope.

"Not bad," Huo Huan thought with some surprise at the performance of the activated rope. Perhaps it was because Huo Huan was too strong. The activated rope used by the succubus hadn't made Huo Huan feel much power before; it had only been entangled and made Huo Huan a little annoyed.

The new ability filled Huo with excitement. He played with it for a short while before the fortress gates opened, indicating that someone had returned.

Chapter 71 Extra Gains

Noticing the commotion, Huo immediately turned his attention to the gate.

The first person, riding a red horse and dressed in a mage's robe, was none other than the Archmage Max.

Judging from the small squad of soldiers following behind Magus, there was no sign of the main force, so it seemed that they had returned ahead of time.

After watching Mage Max enter the tent, Huo straightened his clothes and went to knock on the door.

Before Huo could even shout, the tent door opened.

"Come in, warrior. What's wrong?" Magus Max sat in a chair, unsurprised by Huo Huan's arrival.

"I heard from the quartermaster that you could help me here," Huo said without hiding anything, directly stating the reason for his visit.

"Didn't find the item you wanted? Come here, warrior." Magus Max gestured for Huo to sit down and gently tapped his staff. The staff emitted a beam of light that enveloped the water jug ​​on the table.

The kettle floated gently up and automatically drifted to Huo Huan, pouring him a cup of tea.

"Let's see if there's anything you need." A flash of white light appeared, and a piece of stiff white paper appeared in front of Huo Huan.

Huo Huan curiously picked up the white paper, and then some words appeared in front of him along with images.

The first page is still equipment, but compared to the equipment in the supply depot, the equipment here is more geared towards mages and comes with pictures so you can clearly see the style.

Skipping over the equipment category, Huo glanced at the consumables category, which was similar to the supply department, but with a more comprehensive selection and no quantity restrictions.

Huo then turned his attention to the miscellaneous items. Unlike the materials in the supply department, the miscellaneous items also provided complete monster corpses. Unfortunately, Huo's requirement for accepting them was that they must have been dead for no more than one hour, so the monster corpses were of no use to Huo.

Huo Huan's gaze traveled downwards, and at the end of the miscellaneous items category, he discovered another category—pets.

This is probably intended for summoner-type players, but it seems useful to me as well.

Huo continued his search, and the names of various creatures, such as warhorses, golden eagles, and earthworms, came into view. (Note: Earthworms are not dragons, but rather a type of burrowing, earthworm-like creature.)

The price increased as you went down the list, until a special name appeared before Huo Huan—Dragon.

It's not just a dragon, it's the red dragon, the strongest of the five-colored dragons, and it's not expensive either, only 1 merit points.

"Master, can you even trade for a red dragon here?" Huo pointed at the picture of a red dragon on the list, his face full of disbelief.

“Oh, this red dragon has a little problem. In fact, this red dragon was not tamed; we just captured it,” Max explained, looking at the red dragon in the picture.

"If you choose this red dragon, you'll need to tame it yourself. It's a young red dragon, and it's quite powerful."

Disobedience is no big deal. Huo doesn't follow the pet-centric path anyway. Obedience is better, but disobedience will just be slaughtered and kept as a collection.

Without further consideration, Huo directly chose the red dragon. Fortunately, he hadn't spent too many merits at the supply depot, and he could still afford the price of 1.

"Since you've made your choice, then come with me." Seeing that Huo still chose the red dragon, Archmage Max didn't say much and led Huo out of the tent.

Walking out of the tent for a few dozen meters, into an inconspicuous building, a teleportation array suddenly came into Huo Huan's view.

Following the archmage into the teleportation array, Archmage Max then chanted a spell, and the two figures vanished from their spot in the next second.

When Huo could see his surroundings again, he found himself in an unfamiliar hall with a somewhat familiar teleportation array beneath his feet.

Just as Huo was looking around, an unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in the hall.

Welcome back, Master.

"Natha, bring up Cage Number 1," Magus Max instructed the Tower Spirit.

"Yes, Master." Upon receiving the order, Natasha quickly created a teleportation array on the floor of the hall, and a metal cage covered with magic runes appeared in the hall.

A red dragon covered in enchanted chains lay in the cage. Judging from its injuries, it had clearly been severely beaten before being captured.

"Should we awaken it?" Magus Max asked, looking at Hogan.

"No need, this is fine," Huo shook his head, refusing the mage Max's suggestion.

Seeing the sleeping red dragon, Huo walked through the large gaps in the cage, took out a high-frequency knife from his spatial backpack, and forcefully slashed at the red dragon's neck.

With a "sizzle," the blade sliced ​​through the scales, cutting a thumb-sized gash on the red dragon's neck. Attacked, the red dragon's eyelids twitched, as if it were about to wake up.

The next second, the chains on the red dragon emitted magical light, suppressing the dragon's unusual movements.

Huo looked at the gash on the red dragon's neck with some surprise. He hadn't expected the red dragon's scales to be so hard that even the high-frequency blade could only cause a small wound.
