Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Extraordinary food not only tastes good, but also provides some decent recovery benefits, helping Huo quickly recover from the fatigue generated after combat and training.

After enjoying a delicious meal, Huo returned to his small shop and officially started business for the day.

A new batch of Devil collectibles has arrived, so there's no need to worry about a lack of materials for the time being. Moreover, most of the Devil materials have pretty good attributes, making them a popular choice.

After making some revisions to the list based on the number of items in the collection, Huo opened the shop door, and customers soon came in.

The first customer today requested the Chain Demon trait. Because of its grappling bonus, the Chain Demon trait is one of the most popular among all the demon traits.

In comparison, the Bone Demon's traits are less favorable to classes with poor recovery abilities, making it slightly inferior to the Chain Demon.

This is because Huo hasn't yet added the traits of horned demons and succubi to the list.

After seeing off the first guest, Huo led the second guest into the inner room. For some reason, there seemed to be an unusually large number of guests coming and going today.

After seeing off one customer after another, the day's business was drawing to a close.

Huo Huan was about to close the shop when a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Long time no see," a tall woman with brown skin said to Huo Huan as she leaned against the door frame.

"What brings you here? Did you come out of the Great World?" Huo looked at Elena with some surprise, not expecting to meet her again in his little shop.

“Didn’t you also come out of the Great World?” Elena walked up and hugged Huo Huan, then pinched his butt.

Huo Huan could only turn a blind eye to Elena's actions. In Huo Huan's two lifetimes combined, the number of girls he could call friends was not many, and Elena was the only person Huo Huan knew who seemed so 'rogue'.

"I'm closing up shop to go eat. Do you want to come with me?"

“Great! Perfect, I haven’t eaten yet.” Elena readily agreed to Huo Huan’s invitation.

Huo closed the shop door and led Elena toward the Hope Restaurant. Elena didn't stand on ceremony and immediately hooked her arm around Huo's shoulder.

If it weren't for the fact that they were different genders, just by looking at the way they were arm in arm, outsiders would immediately think they were two brothers with a close relationship.

After a long and drawn-out procession, Huo led Elena to the Hope Restaurant, handed her the menu, and expertly ordered a 100-yuan set meal for himself.

Seeing this, Elena didn't bother to look at the menu and simply ordered the same thing as Huo.

"When did you come out?" Huo asked curiously while waiting for the food to be served.

"It's today, you know. But you, you didn't even tell me you were coming out."

"Haha, I forgot at the time," Huo laughed. Elena didn't continue on that topic, but instead started talking about the content in the Great World.

Huo stayed in the real world for 7 days after leaving the Great World, while more than 2 years had passed in the Great World.

There haven't been many changes among the major powers in the past two years, except for more frequent frictions, while the smaller countries under these major powers have experienced frequent changes.

Several small countries have been annexed or cooperated with in the past two years, while major powers are busy preparing for war and cannot spare the time to act.

Before Elena could say much more, the proprietress brought out trays of food and filled Huo Huan's table to the brim.

With delicious food in front of her, Elena lost interest in chatting and began to devour the food.

After a delicious and satisfying meal, Huo walked out of Hope Restaurant with a toothpick in his mouth, followed by Elena.

Instead of leaving the online platform and returning to the real world, Huo Huan slowly walked towards his small shop. Elena didn't leave either, walking closely beside Huo Huan. At this moment, the two were surprisingly in sync.

Not long after, the two returned to Huo Huan's shop. Huo Huan opened the shop door and extended an invitation to Elena.

Would you like to come in and sit down?

“Okay,” Elena readily agreed, and then began to take off her clothes.

"Oh no..."

Chapter 74 Sparring

"It's nothing, I just want you to enchant me," Elena said to Huo Huan in a serious tone, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her true thoughts.

Huo was fully aware that he had been teased, but he did have some thoughts about what Elena had said.

Elena removed her clothes, skillfully lay down on the massage bed, and gave Huo a provocative look.

Huo ignored Elena's teasing and pretended not to understand, starting to enchant Elena.

After browsing through his collection for a while, Huo realized that only the Little Devil seemed suitable for Elena. Without much thought, he made his decision, figuring he could always change it later.

Energy gathered at his fingertips, and Ho began to paint on Elena's smooth back.

Huo was very fast. In just a few minutes, the general outline of the little devil had appeared on Elena's back, and Elena's whole body began to turn red.

At these times, Elena would interrupt Huo Huan's actions, but this time Huo Huan was prepared.

He summoned the activated ropes and bound Elena firmly to the massage bed before Elena could react.

Ignoring Elena's struggles, Ho continued with his work, which had already been interrupted by Elena several times. This time, Ho was determined to fully enchant the device.

With the help of the activated rope, Huo successfully completed the enchantment. Satisfied with his masterpiece, Huo patted Elena, signaling her to get up.

"Okay, it's finished. You can get up now."

Despite Huo Huan's gesture, Elena, who was lying on the massage bed, did not move at all. Sensing something was wrong, Huo Huan quickly turned Elena over to check on her condition.

With his finger pressed against the carotid artery, Huo assessed the other person's condition. Their vital signs were normal, and there was no immediate danger to their life. Their skin was flushed, and their blood flow was much faster than usual, leading Huo to conclude that the other person had simply fainted.

Since there was no danger to his life, Huo Huan felt relieved. Seeing Elena lying on the bed, Huo Huan, with a hint of revenge in his eyes, picked her up.

(The following 20 words are omitted)

The next morning, Huo walked out of the store looking refreshed, while Elena was still fast asleep in bed, and probably wouldn't wake up for a while if no one woke her up.

Huo also went out alone to buy breakfast, and brought one for Elena as well.

When Huo returned to the shop, Elena had already woken up and was lazily tidying her messy hair.

Completely naked, with the blanket askew, she seemed utterly unconcerned about her exposed body.

"Breakfast is ready," Huo said, handing over the breakfast he had just bought. Elena got up to take it, and the already crooked blanket became completely useless, sliding onto the bed.

Looking at Elena's naked body, Huo still felt a surge of desire, but considering that everything should be done in moderation, he suppressed his desire.

"Shall we go practice later?"

"You want more? Then come on then," Elena said nonchalantly, opening her arms to Huo.

"No, I meant, should we go to the arena to practice?" Seeing that Elena had misunderstood him, Huo immediately explained.

"The arena?" Elena looked at Huo Huan with some surprise and continued, "If your strength is about the same as last time, it won't be enough."

"Don't worry, I haven't wasted these past few days."

Hearing Huo say that, Elena didn't say anything more. After swallowing her breakfast in a few bites, she started to get dressed.

After quickly getting dressed, the two of them went to the arena together and set up a private battlefield.

The two stood on either side of the arena. Elena took out a short bow from her spatial backpack and placed her fingers on the bowstring.

"Be careful," Elena warned, releasing her right hand and firing an energy arrow from her shortbow.

For her first arrow, Elena didn't aim at Kho's torso or head, but rather at his arm, which was harder to hit. Clearly, she held back with her first arrow.

Faced with Elena's attack, Huo stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, using his body to withstand the arrow.

With a "boom," the arrow struck Huo Huan's arm and exploded, instantly blasting a fist-sized hole in him.

Seeing the wounds caused by the arrows, Huo understood that with Elena's attacks, even if he didn't use his life to heal his injuries, Elena would have a hard time killing him in a short time with just his physical defense.

With the skin and flesh undulating and nourished by life energy, Huo Huan's arm injury quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that Huo had easily caught her attack, Elena on the other side immediately stopped holding back and quickly drew her bowstring with her right hand, sending arrows raining down on Huo.

Faced with Elena's relentless onslaught, Huo didn't hold back either, immediately launching his Blood Charge, transforming himself into a red dump truck speeding forward without brakes.

The arrows shattered and exploded upon hitting Huo Huan, but they did not stop him in the slightest, and the distance between them continued to close.

Seeing that her attacks were not very effective, Elena retreated while changing her attack method, and began to use skills such as Frost Arrow and Shock Arrow that had a slowing effect.

The frost slowed down Huo Huan's movements, and the breeze transformed into ropes to block his path, significantly slowing his charge.

Even so, the distance between the two sides continued to shrink, and it was only a matter of time before Huo caught up with them.

Seeing that her slowing skills were being greatly resisted, Elena knew that she couldn't outrun Huo Huan on foot, so she immediately activated the single-person flight device on her back and took off.

Seeing this, Huo stopped hiding and unfurled his red wings, bursting through his clothes. With a gentle flap of his dragon wings, he chased after them at an even faster speed.

As the two sides drew closer, Elena's arrows seemed to be a futile resistance, utterly ineffective.

Seeing that she was about to be caught by Huo Huan, Elena made a nimble 90-degree turn, trying to escape Huo Huan's pursuit.

"Tear!" Ho, seeing this, did not hesitate to extend his tail and unexpectedly lashed Elena with a whip.

The heavy tail whip interrupted Elena's movements, causing her to cough up blood. Before Elena could recover, Huo summoned the activated ropes and tied her up tightly.

Elena ran too fast just now, and the activated rope couldn't catch her at all. Now that we've finally caught her, we naturally won't miss the opportunity.

The next second, Huo landed on the ground carrying Elena, who was bound hand and foot.

With Elena's current strength, it would be difficult for her to break free from the restraints of the living ropes. The time it would take to break free would be enough for Huo to kill her dozens of times over. Huo would naturally win this sparring match.

"Wow, you've completely surpassed me in such a short time." Elena rubbed her lower abdomen. Huo's tail whip, which he hadn't held back, was quite difficult to catch, and her lower abdomen was still a little sore.

"Not at all," Huo said modestly, but he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Tch, hypocrite," Elena said with annoyance, reaching out to hook Huo Huan's neck and pressing him down forcefully.

Feeling the soft touch on his face, Huo was naturally unconcerned about the loser's minor emotional outburst.

Chapter 75 Star Beast

The two joked around for a while before quickly separating, since they hadn't done today's dungeon yet. Both of them were players on the cross-platform game and naturally wouldn't miss their daily dungeon attempts.

Back at the gravedigger's hut, Huo opened the dungeon interface. The "Sunset Shipwreck" dungeon had finished cooling down and the difficulty had been unlocked to Purgatory. If all went well, he would be able to clear the final Abyss difficulty today.

After quickly organizing his inventory, Huo Huan stepped through the portal and entered the dungeon.

The scene began with two bionic robots, and Huo quickly approached and skillfully severed the bionic robots' energy circuits.

After dealing with the monsters in the crew quarters, Huo didn't rush to the armory but instead went to the restaurant.

Dealing with the guards at the armory would be too noisy, and Huo was worried that the noise would attract the attention of the monsters inside the restaurant, so he decided to deal with the monsters here first before going to the armory.

Using an employee card to open the restaurant door, one is greeted by a monster covered in shimmering, star-like scales, with a single horn on its head, resembling a rhinoceros.
