Chapter 827: Chapter 826 Part Three

Su Sheng entered the Demon Realm and immediately began obsessively grinding levels, completely ignoring the game forum and unaware of Xuan Yuan Hua Di's minor actions.

After so many days, there were basically no people around this side of the Demon Realm.

Therefore, Su Sheng was essentially not disturbed at all.

Because no matter how curious one might be about the surroundings, they have mostly been clarified, and even those who haven't been here have had the general situation posted on the game forum.

At the same time, some players crossed the Demon Realm and reached the A San Server.

However… they can hardly do anything, because there are hardly any people there, and Shi Bo Cheng is now completely shrouded in Demon Energy.

Those A San Players are still waiting for Shi Bo Cheng to be rebuilt.

But unfortunately…

They are destined never to wait any longer.

It wasn't until there was only one hour left in the game time difference that Su Sheng finally used a Return City Scroll.

His level experience was about 66‑67% of level 64.

In two days at a training spot like the Demon Realm, killing monsters above his level only barely yielded 7% of the experience for his current level, showing how difficult leveling is now.

Of course it only counts as a day and a half, because yesterday he was escorting Chen Jianping, who was gathering herbs.

The problem isn't big; the Magic Cave Dungeon should have reset today, so go check the situation.

If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow the next dungeon tier should reach level 65, and with a Divine Craftsman Stone you can equip the level‑75 Demon Spirit Necklace.

Also, at level 65 there is a new skill.

…

"Explorer, you're here."

"Are you ready?" Dalian said, looking at the rushing Su Sheng.

Su Sheng nodded, "Ready."

"Give me the Demon Energy crystal core."

Then Dalian took the Demon Energy crystal core that Su Sheng gave and threw it straight into the formation.

A flash of light followed.

The entrance to the Magic Cave Dungeon began to reset.

"I have drawn out some Demon Energy stored in the veins, so after you clear the Magic Cave again, you should be able to reduce a portion of the Demon Energy."

Dalian said, looking at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng gave a slight nod.

Then proceeded to the entrance.

Ding~

Enter the Magic Cave Dungeon?

Player limit: 100

Level cap: cannot exceed level 70.

Yes/No

Su Sheng raised an eyebrow,

Indeed, the difficulty has dropped.

Last time the level cap was 75.

Now the cap has been lowered to 70.

However, the player limit is still one hundred.

Very well.

Su Sheng immediately chose No.

Then opened the Guild Channel and began assigning personnel.

Today's game time only has a dozen minutes left, so definitely will come back tomorrow.

After the arrangements were set,

Su Sheng then logged off.

…

He left the room.

Su Sheng, like a thief, slipped quietly into Huan Jie's room.

Huan Jie hadn't logged off yet, and Su Sheng arrived at Huan Jie's game pod with a smile.

After a few minutes, the indicator light on the game pod lit up.

It meant the game had logged out, and the pod lid opened.

"Ya~"

"You scared me to death, logging off so early today?" Lin Huan exclaimed upon seeing Su Sheng by the game pod.

"Hehe, everything's arranged, nothing else so I'll log off first." Su Sheng grinned.

"Perfect, I'm about to wash my hair, later help me blow‑dry it."

"I'll wash later…"

"Ya!"

"Put me down… um…"

……(I'm a cute divider line)……

Game time.

Logged in again.

Su Sheng contacted Chen Jianping.

"How's it going? How many anti‑demon potions have you made?"

"Fortunately, I didn't fail my duty. All the materials were used up; we made over 200 units in total, but half are green, a small portion are blue, and a few are purple."

Chen Jianping sent a screenshot.

The blue ones grant 10% immunity to the Demonic Qi Suppression Effect.

They become ineffective if concentration exceeds 40%.

The purple ones grant 15% immunity, and fail above 50%.

"Hand everything over to San Zhao, the Group Leader, and have him bring it over."

"Understood."

"How are the matters on your side progressing?"

"I've already quit my job, spend the days caring for my daughter, just found a hospital over there, and have started the transfer paperwork."

"Quick move; once you arrive, we'll sign the offline contract."

"Hehe, okay."

"Alright, go take care of things."

…

Level‑70 Magic Cave Dungeon.

There is no Demon Energy Well anymore.

Only a group of Demon Race units remain, but the experience is still substantial.

There is only one BOSS now; the first floor has none, and the Demonic Qi Suppression status has also decreased.

With the anti‑demon potions, this time it took just eight hours to clear the Dungeon outright.

Compared with the first run, I don't know how much faster it was, obviously also because the Dungeon's difficulty was lowered.

Moreover, to level up the hidden‑dragon carrier, Su Sheng chose to split the experience evenly.

Everyone else basically leveled up; the few who didn't are also near full experience.

However, Su Sheng was surprised… he didn't level up; his experience sits at 98%.

Su Sheng wore a gloomy expression.

But that's normal; although the Dungeon yields abundant experience, it's divided among 100 people.

The last time, Su Sheng's level surged because only Su Sheng and Shen Yang remained in the whole Dungeon, and Su Sheng took the absolute big share.

With a little over three hours left, I went to a nearby Training Spot to kill a monster; spending some time tomorrow should basically level up.

However, after clearing the Magic Cave Dungeon again, the next opening will require 90 hours.

And this time no Demon Energy crystal was produced; the next run is likely the same.

Su Sheng has only one Demon Energy crystal left on hand.

I don't know where to get another Demon Energy crystal.

As for A San's Shi Bo Cheng one, Su Sheng doesn't plan to retrieve it.

…

…

Three hours at a regular Training Spot… Su Sheng didn't even earn 1% experience.

The leveling difficulty now is truly outrageous.

Checked the Level Ranking List; my own level 64 still leads by a wide margin.

That Shen Wang scroll‑king somehow reached level 61.

What the heck? The level jumped so fast; last I saw it was at 59.

Behind it, everyone else is uniformly level 59; no one has reached level 60 yet.

Just as the game time had half an hour left.

Ding~

System Announcement:

The source of Demon Energy is nearly depleted; Xuanwu Main City and Baihu Main City are no longer affected by Demon Energy.

Demon Energy effects have vanished.

Upon seeing the announcement, players in Xuanwu Main City and Baihu Main City all erupted in cheers.

This Demon Energy influence is finally over.

Ding~

Demon Race invasion.

Chapter Three begins.

Because successive attempts thwarted the Demon Race's invasion plans.

From now on, the Demon Race becomes cautious, employing other schemes.

Please watch the Demon Race's upcoming moves.

…

Nothing more.

A prompt with no explanation.

It merely tells everyone that this expansion hasn't ended.

But the specifics of Chapter Three's expansion are not explained… left entirely to player exploration?

Su Sheng looked at the system announcement, frowned and pondered for a moment, but also had no clue.

He checked the game time, then decided to log off…

Huan Jie, I'm here!
