7 chapter 7: information in the forum

translator: 549690339

opening the post, su nan sees a game screenshot and a photo.

there’s not much content in the game screenshot, just a game warning.

[warning: the second bloodline you’ve merged with conflicts with the first one, and it will go out of control in 42 hours. please find a solution asap.]

as for the photo, it shows a palm entirely covered in dark hair, looking like a bear paw at first glance.

what’s strange is that the arm behind the bear paw belongs to a human!

“a bear paw? the poster’s photoshop skills are pretty good, i almost believed it.”

“the second bloodline is out of control? this game just came out a week ago, and lots of people haven’t even finished their novice tasks. how did you manage to merge the second bloodline, bro?”

“all hail the poster, i’m willing to call you the first person to lose control, please share your strategy!”

players in the forum didn’t pay much attention to the photoshopped bear paw, but many were surprised at how fast someone could merge with a second bloodline.

however, su nan looked at the photo with a strange expression.

he had just witnessed the white-robed youth lose control within the game, leaving a deep impression on him.

seeing this photo now, he couldn’t help but feel like he was witnessing another person’s loss of control.

“the one who photoshopped this so realistically must have seen an npc losing control in-game.”

as su nan took another look at the photo, he realized that the poster’s username was “xiao feipao” and, coincidentally, they were in the same city.

“as far as i know, you can only get bloodlines from novice tasks and mainline tasks. could it be that the poster has already completed the mainline task?”

“no hope, prepare to delete your account and start over, even the game’s npcs can’t find a solution to losing control. how could an ordinary person find one?”

“you can tell from the background – once out of control, you’ll turn into a mindless monster. obviously, if you want to play this game well, you must ensure you don’t lose control.”

“good luck, poster! i’ll wait to see you find a solution.”

“a three-minute silence for the poster.”

most of the replies in the thread were unhelpful, and su nan didn’t pay much attention after skimming through them.

loss of control wasn’t his problem right now; he was more interested in how the rewards from completing novice tasks could help players.

he suspected the in-game map he was on was a high-level one, and to escape, he needed to strengthen himself as soon as possible.

“the game’s task rewards mainly consist of bloodlines, demon sutras, and demon powers.”

“bloodlines and demon sutras complement each other: only after obtaining a demon bloodline can you cultivate the corresponding demon sutra. the improvement of a demon sutra’s level increases the bloodline’s power and thus enhances a player’s strength.”

“demon power has a simpler role. as far as we know, it can be used to upgrade demon sutras, much like experience points in other games.”

due to the lack of players, there wasn’t much useful information on the forums. after ten-plus minutes of browsing, su nan finally found some helpful information.

he now understood the game’s mechanics.

to survive in the game world, enhancing one’s strength was the primary goal, which relied on the three aspects of bloodlines, demon sutras, and demon power.

bloodlines and demon sutras were hard to obtain, available only through novice and mainline tasks.

as for demon power, there were more ways to obtain it.

daily tasks were the primary source of demon power.

however, the demon power rewards for daily tasks were minimal – pitiful one-point rewards for a one-star task, and even a two-star task only offered three to five-points.

moreover, most players found two-star tasks too difficult to complete.

“it turns out i really hit the jackpot by completing a four-star task.” su nan’s eyes flashed with a smile.

without comparing, he would never know how incredible his rewards were.

a whopping 30 demon power points – other players would need to complete 6 to 10 two-star missions to obtain those.

“seven-day deadline, demon art mastery! i plan to establish a guild in the game. interested brothers, please add me as a friend.”

as su nan was about to leave the forum, a newly posted thread caught his attention.

the poster’s name was zhou cheng.

below the post was a game screenshot, clearly showing that zhou cheng had a demon sutra named “green wolf sutra” with the word ‘perfection’ added behind it.

“it’s him!” su nan instantly realized who it was.

he had seen zhou cheng’s earlier post before entering the game.
