14 Chapter 14 1-star Task
Translator: 549690339
Entering the game again, Su Nan looked at the prison cells lining the corridor with unprecedented seriousness.
Knowing that the game can change his physical body in reality, his mentality has now undergone a tremendous change.
He knows that if he continues to treat this world as a game, he will suffer sooner or later.
[Congratulations, you have awakened a Bloodline Combat Skill. Please name this skill.]
“Mountain-Crushing Elephant!” Su Nan said without hesitation.
[Bloodline Combat Skill naming successful. Congratulations on fully mastering a Demon Sutra to Great Perfection. You now have the initial ability to survive in this world.]
[Your talent, Foreseeing the Future, has been strengthened. Daily usage increased by 1.]
“The number of times I can foresee the future has increased?”
Su Nan was overjoyed, and immediately looked at his Personal Information Panel.
[Name: Wang Nan]
[Race: Human]
[Realm: Mortal Level]
[Demon Sutra: Mountain Elephant Sutra (Great Perfection)]
[Bloodline: Mountain Elephant Bloodline]
[Talent: Foresee the Future (Unique) (Available uses for the day: 2/4)]
[Techniques: Boneshifting (Not Activated)]
[Demon Power: 0 points]
“If I master one Demon Sutra to Great Perfection, the number of times I can foresee the future increases by one. Does that mean that as long as I continue to merge more bloodlines and cultivate more Demon Sutras, the number of times I can foresee the future will increase?”
Su Nan was excited. He was well aware of the power of his talent to foresee the future. His current achievements could be attributed to this talent.
Originally, he could only use it three times a day, so he would only use it in critical moments. Now that he had found a way to increase the number of uses, how could he not be excited?
“I need more Demon Sutras and bloodlines.”
The Mountain Elephant Sutra had reached Great Perfection, so it could no longer be improved. If he couldn’t find a second bloodline and Demon Sutra, his strength would not increase further.
He desperately needed a second Demon Sutra and bloodline.
Regrettably, daily tasks only reward demon power, while mainline tasks reward Demon Sutras and bloodlines. So if he wants to acquire more sutras and bloodlines, he can only focus on the mainline tasks.
“Escaping the prison is imminent!”
“I still have two chances to foresee, and I can’t waste them.”
After the delay just now, there were only three minutes left until midnight. Once it reached midnight, the daily tasks would refresh, and the number of talent uses would be reset.
If he hadn’t discovered the unique aspect of the game before, he might not have cared about using his talent twice. But now it was different.
He couldn’t waste it.
“Foresee!”
[This prison has the power to suppress bloodlines, making you very uncomfortable here. You don’t want to stay here for another day.]
[You carefully follow the corridor towards the exit of the prison, ready to act at any moment.]
[The midnight prison is quiet, and nothing unexpected happens along the way. You smoothly reach the end of the corridor.]
[In front of you is a huge stone door, tightly closed with no guards on watch.]
[You know this is the entrance and exit of the prison, and as long as you leave through this stone door, you can escape from this prison called Kun Tian.]
[You attempt to approach the stone door, but as soon as you move, you hear a booming shout.]
[Escaped prisoners die!]
[The shout explodes in your mind, and you die!]
The second foreknowledge came to an end, and he died at the exit of the prison.
Su Nan’s face darkened. Although he was prepared for this, knowing that it would be difficult to escape from this demon-guarded prison, when he confirmed that there were powerful demons guarding it, his heart sank.
“Now, this is difficult.”
There was a great terror at the exit. In his foreknowledge, he hadn’t even seen any demons, and just a single shout killed him. He couldn’t imagine how powerful the demon guarding the entrance and exit was.
It was very likely that he wouldn’t be able to escape from here for a long time.
“No, I must find another way out.”
“There is still one more opportunity to foresee; this time, I will try exploring deeper into the prison.”
Waiting for the cooldown of his foresee ability to finish, the second foreseeing began.
[You are desperate to escape this prison, but you know that the prison’s exit is guarded by a powerful demon, and you cannot get close.]
[You decide to go against the norm and explore deeper into the prison, searching for a possible escape route.]
[You carefully proceed along the corridor toward the depths of the prison. When you reach Cell No. 30, you don’t notice that you involuntarily stop.]
[You die.]
“What happened? How did I die?”
Su Nan frowned. He had died in both of his foreknowledge attempts. At least the first time, he knew he was killed by a shout. However, this second time, he didn’t even know how he died.
“”30th prison cell, could it be that there is a terrifying existence imprisoned in Cell No. 30?””
Having used up both chances, he couldn’t go left or right and couldn’t do anything now. All he could do was wait for the Task Panel to refresh silently.
Soon, the time came to midnight.
Suddenly, Su Nan clearly felt that his heavily wounded and weakened body instantly recovered, as if his state had been reset.
On the Task Panel, the Daily Tasks refreshed.
[Daily Task 1: Kill a Guard]
Task Difficulty: 3 stars
Task Reward: 15 Demon Points.
[Daily Task 2: Enter Cell No. 24]
Task Difficulty: 1 star
Task Reward: 1 Demon Point.
[Daily Task 3: Hunt any Mortal-level demon]
Task Difficulty: 2 stars
Task Reward: 5 Demon Points.
“”One-star Task?””
When seeing the difficulty of the second task, Su Nan was taken aback, then smiled.
Even if a high-difficulty task is good, completing it is vital.
Although the one-star task’s reward is not much, it would allow him to have one unlimited logout opportunity.
That was like having an extra life.
With eyes filled with happiness, he immediately looked at the one-star task, wanting to complete it first.
However, when he looked at the content of the task, he couldn’t help but frown.
They wanted him to enter Cell No. 24?
What kind of joke was this? He had just left Cell No. 19, and now he was being asked to go into Cell No. 24?
Moreover, were the prison cells that easy to breach?
The prison doors of this Prison weren’t easy to break, and it was impossible to enter without a key.
“”Key? Right, I have a key!””
He had an idea, and his eyes brightened.
The first time he entered the game, he found a dagger and a key in Cell No. 19, and the key was still in his Personal Space.
[Slightly Rusty Key: Common item, an unknown person’s lost key. Close observation reveals the numbers 2 and 4 faintly engraved on the key.]
“”2 and 4, could this be the key to Cell No. 24?””
He had never seen a key to the prison door before and wasn’t sure if this key would unlock the cell door.
However, judging from the current task, the chances were high, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.
“”No wonder this task is only one-star. With the key in my hand, it’s naturally easy to complete.””
With the key in hand, he headed straight for Cell No. 24.
Cell No. 24 was not far from him, and Su Nan soon stopped in front of a cell door with the numbers 2 and 4 engraved on it.
However, what made him frown was that he just realized that all the prison doors in this Prison had no locks or keyholes for the key!
He tried touching the key to the old door, but there was no reaction.
“”How do I open this?””
He didn’t know what to do. Should he really directly blow up the door?
“”If there’s no place for the key, how does the Wolf Demon open the prison doors?””
Just as he was about to continue his research, suddenly, a series of sounds came from the direction of the prison exit. Su Nan instinctively looked towards the exit.
The corridor wasn’t straight but curved, as if this Prison was built in a circular formation. Standing here, it was impossible to see what was happening on the other end of the corridor, but Su Nan knew the source of the noise.
The Prison guard was here!
“”I mustn’t be discovered!””
He had seen the power of the guards. They were too strong for him to resist. There was no time to continue his research. He had to quit the game immediately.
[You are currently in a dangerous environment and temporarily unable to quit the game. Please select a safe location to exit.]
“”Can’t quit? Now there’s trouble.””
He didn’t know what mechanism the game used to determine him in a dangerous environment, but he knew that there was no place to hide here. If he stayed, he would be discovered quickly.
If he didn’t have foreknowledge earlier, he might have gone deeper into the prison, but the foreknowledge of death before had made him think otherwise.
He couldn’t go forward, nor could he go back.
With no other way, he could only pin his hopes on the key in his hand.
“”I can only use the foreknowledge once.””
