Chapter 85 - 85 Nine-Story Demon Tower
85 Nine-Story Demon Tower
Chu Bai’s eyes lit up when he heard the city lord’s words.
Was another mission coming his way?
Chu Bai then said, “I’ll listen to what you have to say first.”
The city lord nodded and then said, “In the northwest of Liuzhou City, near the demon race, there’s a demonic land. There’s a tower there that’s called the Nine-Story Demon Tower. It should have been created by an expert 10,000 years ago. A large number of demons are sealed inside. It’s rumored that an ominous object is sealed inside as well. Because the records are from too long ago, they aren’t clear. It seems that the object is an existence that has once greatly harmed the continent.
“But in recent years, the seal has loosened, and many demons have escaped. Some of them have even come to our human race and endangered the safety of the people.
“The demonic qi there is too thick. Not only me, but some masters from the continent have also come here to deal with the monsters inside, but the demonic qi is too strong and they can’t get close. You adventurers from the other world are immune to the demonic qi inside.”
Chu Bai nodded.
“So, I want to invite you to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower to see what the situation is like inside. However, you need at least three people to enter. If you can successfully complete this mission, I’ll give you a treasure that you’ll definitely like.”
[Ding. You have triggered the hidden mission, Nine-Story Demon Tower. Mission reward: mysterious treasure. Mission time limit: three days. Mission limitation: three players required. Mission penalty: none. Do you accept?]
“Of course, no problem,” Chu Bai replied.
[Ding. You’ve accepted the mission.]
“Good! You take this! Since I’m asking you to go there, I’ll definitely have to ensure your safety.”
He handed Chu Bai a total of four talismans.
[Ding. You’ve obtained fixed-point teleportation talismans.]
[Fixed-point teleportation talisman: place one of them in a location to mark and then use the other to instantly appear at the marked place. Usage: one.]
“These are talismans made by the Nine Swords Sect. You can place one outside the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and the other three can be used by you and your two teammates. If you encounter danger, you can instantly leave. At least it can guarantee your safety.”
“Many thanks, City Lord!”
“It’s fine. I only dare to assign this task to you because you’re the Son of Destiny. Be careful!”
The city lord patted Chu Bai’s shoulder.
“Yes.”
Then, Chu Bai walked out.
Lu Yufan saw Chu Bai coming out and immediately went up to him.
“Chu Bai, what’s the reward?”
Chu Bai said, “Level-20 Gold and Silver equipment. They’re not of much use…”
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Wow, was this how a big shot acted?
“Let’s go. I’m going to appraise a few pieces of equipment and then eat something,” Chu Bai said.
“Alright .”
The two of them went to Mr. Sun’s appraisal shop.
When he saw who it was, Shopowner Sun’s mouth twitched.
“Hey, where’s the 30% discount sign?” Chu Bai asked with a smile.
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
The corners of his mouth twitched again.
“The event is over.” Then, he glanced at Lu Yufan, who was looking around the store.
“The aura of an elf…” Mr. Sun muttered to himself and looked at Chu Bai.
“If you have any equipment for appraisal, take it out.”
Chu Bai then passed a few pieces of equipment to him.
They were all dropped by the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast.
The equipment that the city lord gave him had already been appraised.
“You’re really something. I haven’t seen you in a while and you’ve brought over another Dark Demon weapon.”
Mr. Sun took the Beast King’s Skyfire Sword.
“Are there no other events?” Chu Bai asked.
“The discount event is still going on. You’re the Son of Destiny, so I’ll give you another 50% discount. You can go and play the lottery.”
Chu Bai then walked over.
“Why did he call you the Son of Destiny?” Lu Yufan asked curiously.
Chu Bai randomly picked a lot and said, “Because I passed the abyss-difficulty trial.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Lu Yufan came to a realization.
Then, Chu Bai handed the piece of paper to Mr. Sun.
“10% off.”
“Cough, cough—”
Shopowner Sun immediately started coughing.
His eyes widened as he looked at the folded piece of paper Chu Bai was holding. His beard was standing on end.
Another 10% discount?
There was only one 10% discount out of thousands of them, and he got it twice in a row?
“Take it away.”
With a flash of black light, Mr. Sun threw the Beast King’s Skyfire Sword to Chu Bai.
[Beast King’s Skyfire Sword. Grade: Dark Demon, Usage level:15. Usage requirements: swordsman. A sword that gathers fire energy. Extremely sharp and powerful.]
[Attributes: strength +50, attack +100, critical chance +10%. All attacks ignore 20% of the target’s defense. All attacks have a 5% chance to inflict a five-second burn effect.]
[Will of Fire: after activation, all attacks in the next ten seconds will have a fixed damage of 300 points. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Heavenly Flame Slash: after activation, attacks will become long-range attacks for the next 20 seconds, releasing a flaming sword aura up to ten meters. There is a 100% chance of inflicting a five-second burn on the target. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
It was a very powerful sword!
As a level-15 Dark Demon weapon, its attack power was increased by 200 points, including strength!
The skills were also quite exaggerated, and there were even skills that could turn melee into ranged.
“It’s so powerful.”
Lu Yufan exclaimed in surprise when she saw the attributes.
“Go and ask Sister Qianyue if she wants it. If she wants it, I’ll keep it for her,” Chu Bai said.
“Alright,” she said.
Lu Yufan then hid at the side and started chatting with Jiang Qianyue.
“There’s no problem with these two.”
Mr. Sun passed the equipment to Chu Bai in a bad mood.
[Beast King’s Skyfire Pants. Grade: Gold. Usage level: 20. Usage requirement: swordsman.]
[Attributes: HP +500, defense +50, lower body damage reduced by 20%, fire attributes damage reduced by 50%.]
Pants usually did not have any skills.
The attributes of this pair were indeed better. Then, Chu Bai replaced the equipment with the level five silver equipment, the Wolf King Armor.
[Character: Bai Ye.]
[Level: 22.]
[Title: Son of Destiny, Merica Nation’s Best Friend.]
[Hunger: 61.]
[Reputation: 611,000.]
[Luck: Max; Charm: 35; Comprehension: 35.]
[Four main attributes—Physique: 80; Spirit: 110; Strength: 225; Agility: 80.]
[HP: 2,830.]
[Mana: 1,310.]
[ATK: 680.]
[Magic Attack: 220.]
[Defense: 316.]
[Movement speed: 424.]
[Critical chance: 0.]
His HP was almost over 3,000, and his defense was over 300.
As for the other Beast King’s Heavenly Fire Shield, Chu Bai was too lazy to look at its attributes.
“Sister Qianyue wants it. She’s willing to pay three million,” Lu Yufan said as she leaned over.
Chu Bai did not intend to take her money, because…
Chu Bai wanted to establish a guild. Lu Yufan, Yu Qingyu, Jiang Qianyue, and Playboy were all people Chu Bai wanted to invite!
The three of them were worthy of Chu Bai’s invitation just based on their talents.
However…
He did not have much money left. He had spent three million to make the system announcement, so he only had one million on him. If he played games with only one million, he would not even be able to afford a prop he liked.
He would just take the money then.
“Alright,” he said.
“Hehe…”
“Mr. Sun, how much is it?” Chu Bai asked.
“It’s 12 gold coins. You got a total of 60% off, so it’s six silver coins in total.”
Shopowner Sun was about to break down.
Chu Bai handed over a gold coin.
“No need for change.”
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
‘F*ck! As if I need a gold coin from you!’
