Chapter 356 – Into the Demon Realm (1/2)

After capturing Hero City, Bai Xiaosheng was rewarded with levels, equipment, and others. He then gave the players who had helped him defend the city generous rewards. Fatty got a reusable blueprint that could forge heavy armor for Knights, the ‘Hideous Heavy Armor Blueprint,’ one of the pieces in the Hideous Equipment Set.

With the Holy Unicorns and Lightning Beasts, Fatty could organize an army of knights, and then all kinds of knight equipment would be a must. As long as he gathered the whole set, he would have a fearsome army. This expression of appreciation of Bai Xiaosheng for Fatty’s help was no doubt very generous.

Stowing the blueprint, Fatty said goodbye to all and left Heavens Scar for the Mountain of Flames. He still remembered what West had said about the phoenix eggs.

After over a month of fighting in Heavens Scar, especially with the final massacre of Demon troops, Fatty had gained a large sum of experience that almost let him hit level 60. Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to steal eggs, but rather first farming monsters at the periphery of the Mountain of Flames.

Half a month later, with a golden halo falling onto him, Fatty finally rose to level 60.

Pulling out a Recall Scroll to fly back to Sky City, he then teleported to the Imperial Capital, where he went straight to Sallip the Rogue Mentor and asked for a class enhancement.

Sallip who had long been displeased with Fatty simply threw him a mission without any words. You finish it, I give you your enhancement. You can’t, then roll back to wherever.

The mission was very straightforward: sneak into the Demon realm and probe the movement of the grand Demon army, draw a topographic map at least 1/10000 of the Demon realm; time limit: a month.

How big was the entire Demon world? Even though it was smaller than the Human world, it was not that much smaller. And for the whole Human world, talking about the area of the Xuanhuang Ancient Country alone, had Fatty even traveled 1/10000 of it so far? Nope. If it weren't for the map stolen from the Demon City, Fatty would just directly give up on this mission. Even so, however, exploring the movement of the grand Demon army was already a suicidal course of action.

“I haven’t even reached the 6th class enhancement yet and you’re sending me to die in the Demon realm? This is too much!” Fatty raged.

“If you don't want to go, then don’t. I’m not forcing you,” Sallip unhurriedly said with a smug face.

Fatty's voice came to an abrupt end as he viciously stared at Sallip. This made Sallip even more smug.

Beggars can’t be choosers. But when Lord Fatty reaches the highest rank there is, see how I’ll torture you to death!

Cursing Sallip over and over again in his heart, Fatty held out his hand and said, “If it’s the Demon realm I’m going to, shouldn’t you give me some equipment or something? Barging in as a lone man who anyone can tell at a glance to be human is the same as seeking death.”

“That’s true.” Sallip nodded after thinking for a moment and took out a mask. He fondly caressed it before reluctant handing it to Fatty. “I’ll lend you this mask. Return it after you complete the mission.”

Fatty’s fury nearly erupted at the sight of Sallip’s reluctant manner. You are trying to harm Lord Fatty, yet you’re still reluctant to give me something decent? Do you really hate Lord Fatty this much?

Grabbing the mask, Fatty carefully checked its information.

Multi-transform Protection Mask: The user can change into any designated shape.

Duration: Unlimited. Removing the mask will lose its effect. Cooldown: 12 hours.

Not bad equipment. In fact, very good equipment. With this, Fatty would not be afraid of being found out when he did bad things. Putting on the mask, Fatty immediately turned into Sallip, even wearing the exact same weapon and equipment. He threw the dumbstruck Sallip a hearty laugh and strode out of the Class Enhancement Hall, teleporting back to Sky City.

“Sallip? Who let you in?” Seeing Sallip suddenly appear in front of him, Reck was momentarily shocked then looked at ‘Sallip’ with visibly ill intent, his fingers shaking a little – a sign that he was ready to sprinkle poison.

“Master, it’s me Fatty.” Fatty hurriedly took off the mask. He didn’t think he could endure Reck’s poison.

Reck instantly understood. “Sallip's Multi-transform Protection Mask?”

Fatty nodded and briefed him about how Sallip had sent him to explore the Demon realm.

After hearing the story, Reck smacked his thigh. “To the Demon realm? Good!”

“Good?! You know I’m going there to die!” Fatty yelped in dejection.

“How’s that going there to die? It’s the Demon world where there are many resources the Human world doesn’t have. Just get some of them to resell here and gold coins will come to you in huge stacks! You wait, I'll make you some drugs. When you go there, get me some special products of the Demon world, like the Abyssal Demon Ox, the Ultraviolet Demon Tiger, the Mega Dark Dragon, and also herbs. Don't need too many, just bring some back will do.”

Reck happily went off to make the drugs, leaving behind a speechless Fatty. Demonic Abyss Bull? That cattle race? Ultraviolet Demon Tiger? Fine, cows and tigers have strong and weak ones anyway, maybe I can steal a cub back, but what the heck is Mega Dark Dragon? That’s at least level 70 or 80 okay? You want me to hunt that?! ‘Don't need too many just bring some back’? You think I’m Wu Junxiao?!

While Reck made the drugs, Fatty went to visit the others in the city. Sure enough, they were overjoyed upon hearing that Fatty was going to the Demon realm, as if he was not going to perform a task, but to make a profit.
