Chapter 3

Name: Qin Xiao

Level: 1

Race: Crimson Demon Dragon

Alignment: Demon

Basic Attributes: Vitality 420/420, Magic Power 230/280, Strength 90, Agility 60, Constitution 90, Willpower 60

…

Compared to the dragon state, although his Vitality and mana had decreased a little, his strength, constitution, agility, and other attributes that were closely related to close combat had greatly improved.

Of course, the destructive power of a human was far inferior to that of a dragon. Even if the damage of a dragon was reduced by a third, its body was simply too huge.

A dragon that was more than ten meters tall could destroy a large number of enemies with a casual strike.

In general, the dragon form was suitable for using magic and eliminating a large area of weak enemies.

The human form was more suitable for close combat.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Qin Xiao would use the relatively small and convenient human form. He was relatively familiar with this form.

Qin Xiao carefully read the various values. This was also the benefit of the True Vision.

It would probably take a lot of time for others to figure this out.

Level—Player’s current level.

The basic attributes would increase according to the bloodline level after each level-up.

Low 50%, Intermediate 60%, Advanced 70%, Top 80%, Ultimate 100%!

In other words, every time Qin Xiao leveled up, his basic attributes would double.

In the long run, there would be a huge gap between him and the others!

Points – Players can use points to unlock/level up their talent. The first time you unlock your talent, it will cost 30 points. The cost will increase as your talent level increases.

Vitality – When Vitality reaches zero, the player dies.

Magic Power – Releasing skills consumes magic power.

Strength – Strength determines the damage of a player’s physical attack.

Agility – Agility affects the player’s reaction speed and movement speed.

Constitution – The higher the Constitution, the tougher the player will be. At the same time, it will increase the recovery efficiency of Vitality.

Willpower – The higher the Willpower attribute, the stronger the player’s mind. At the same time, it increases mana regeneration.

Qin Xiao canceled the attribute panel and opened the chat system.

Qin Xiao opened the chat system and instantly, countless messages came like waves.

They instantly flooded Qin Xiao’s system panel.

Everyone had just entered the game, so many people were discussing the current situation in the chat.

Meanwhile, the Trading Hall was empty.

Southwest of the Continent of Gods and Evils

Current number of demons: 1 billion!

“Oh my god! I’ve really become a demon!”

“I feel like I can kill an elephant right now!”

“Help! Is there anyone here? Why am I born in magma?!”

“Hahahaha, ants, from today onwards, I, Wang Dameng, will conquer the world! All of you, kneel before the huge axe the Barbaric Bull Demon!”

“There’s something wrong with the brains of the person above. I’ll pay one gold coin. Can anyone shut him up?!”

“Ignorant scum, I’m a one-in-a-million demon with intermediate aptitude!”

“Help, I’m starving. Why is there nothing to eat in this godforsaken place!”

“…”

Qin Xiao looked at the words that kept refreshing on the public screen and roughly understood some information.

The numbers of the demons and angels were not equal!

If the ten portals to different regions teleported an equal number of people on both sides, then there were at least five billion demons in each region.

There was only one reason for this, and that was that the number of demons was only one-fifth of the number of angels!

This news was crucial!

This meant that every demon had to deal with angels five times their number!

Moreover, it was not difficult to tell from the location of the teleportation. The angel faction that occupied the central position was definitely stronger than the demons!

Of course, these were all Qin Xiao’s guesses. He would only know when demons and angels met.

After a while, the speed of the chat system’s messages slowed down.

It was not only because everyone could only send three messages for free every day, but because many demon players had already discovered that the most important thing in this game was not the so-called war between gods and evil!

It was survival!

Even though everyone had turned into powerful demons, their basic survival needs had not disappeared!

On the contrary, because they had become stronger, they needed to consume more food.

Even Qin Xiao felt hungry.

“I can’t do it alone.”

“From the looks of it, quickly summoning followers and collecting resources is the key to ensuring survival in early stages.”

“However, unlocking followers requires gold coins. I have to get some gold coins first.”

He learned from the chat that this world was filled with all kinds of mystic realms, forces, and neutral races.

As long as one killed a neutral creature, one would obtain gold coins, and every time one occupied or destroyed a faction, one would obtain a treasure chest from the system.

The demons ended their conversation and went to find food or earn gold coins.

The people who had just entered the game were in despair, fear, or excitement.

But everyone knew to quickly strengthen themselves.

Because if they died here, they would really be dead!

Qin Xiao turned off the chat and walked out of the cave, transforming back into his dragon form.

This was to speed up.

Qin Xiao flapped his wings and flew into the sky. He looked at the various terrains under his feet and information appeared in front of him.

Ordinary Forest—Levelless area with low exploration value. Items available: Wood, berries.

Normal Ice Lake—Levelless area with low exploration value. Items available: Fish, drinking water.

Normal Snow Cave – Level 1 Normal Region. Intermediate exploration value. There are a large number of ice snakes. Items available: Ice Snake Gall, Ice Snake Tooth, and a small number of medicinal herbs.

With the help of the True Vision, he did not have to explore these areas bit by bit.

This would greatly save Qin Xiao’s development time.

Thanks to the abundant information, Qin Xiao quickly found a suitable area to explore.

Cold Forest—Rare Level 1 area with high exploration value and low danger level. The abundant ice elements in the icy plains caused the creatures here to mutate. The ice element plants here are the key to the abundance of species here. Items available: Frost Grass, Ice Rose Fruit, and so on.

This Cold Forest was the most valuable place to explore around Qin Xiao’s territory.

Qin Xiao immediately entered the forest and received new hints.

Frost Grass—a gray item that contains a small amount of ice elements. It can be used to make Level 1 Frost Potions.

Ice Rose Fruit—a gray item that contains a small amount of ice elements. It can be used to make a Level 1 Cold Resistance Potion. After consuming it, it will temporarily increase one’s resistance to ice and a small amount of satiety.

…

These items were useless to Qin Xiao for the time being because he did not have anyone around him who could make potions.

However, he could sell them in the trading hall to exchange for gold coins.

In order to explore, Qin Xiao transformed into a human.

He plucked an Ice Rose Fruit and threw it into his mouth.

“Yes, it’s not bad. It’s a little like cherries.”

Qin Xiao was very satisfied with the taste of the Ice Rose Fruit. There were many Ice Rose Fruit Trees here, so he didn’t have to worry about food for the time being.

Qin Xiao picked some more fruits and put them into the system’s spatial backpack before continuing to explore.

Ji ji ji!

Suddenly, a cry sounded from above Qin Xiao’s head as a powerful fruit core shot toward him. Qin Xiao casually raised his right hand to catch it.

Icefield Monkey—a Level 1 mutated creature that was infected with the cold aura. They like to live in groups, have a mischievous personality, and are not smart. Without special skills, they cannot pose a threat to the host.

Qin Xiao chuckled. He had finally encountered a wild monster.

In the next second, the Icefield Monkeys, who were still shooting the fruit cores and stones, were stunned.

It was because they had lost sight of their target. The strange monkey suddenly disappeared.

“Kids, what are you looking at?”

The Icefield Monkeys turned around and were surprised to see a huge face with narrowed eyes and a smile.

Before they could react, Qin Xiao reached out and crushed an Icefield Monkey into a pile of mud.

Game Notification: Killed an Icefield Monkey, Gold Coin +1

A smile appeared on Qin Xiao’s face. As expected, killing these wild monsters would earn him gold coins.

Although one gold coin was pitifully few, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat!

Moreover, killing these little things was completely effortless!

Killed an Icefield Monkey, Gold Coin +1

Gold Coin +1

Gold Coin +1

…

In the blink of an eye, the group of Icefield Monkeys was cleared out, and Qin Xiao obtained a total of 30 gold coins.

Due to his low collection skill, it took him a long time to gather some complete medicinal herbs. After putting them into the system Backpack, Qin Xiao gave up on the idea of continuing to collect them.

“Forget it, I’ll let my followers do this.”

Qin Xiao returned to his dragon form.

Thanks to his flying ability, Qin Xiao could return to his territory at will.

The other demons were not so lucky.

Desolate Snow Valley.

Qin Xiao opened the trading system.

Now, many demons were out exploring, and many people put the materials they obtained into the trading hall.

Although there were not many resources in some places, there were abundant wild monsters. The demons in those areas could not even fill their stomachs even though they had plenty of gold coins.

“I’ll spend a lot of money to buy food!”

“I want level 1 potion ingredients, 5 gold coins per stalk. No bargaining!”

“…”

Qin Xiao hung up the Frost Grasses and Ice Rose Fruits he had collected in the trading hall.

“Frost Grasses and Ice Rose Fruits for 4 gold coins each. If you want to buy them, hurry up!”

There weren’t many of them. In order to sell them quickly, Qin Xiao’s price was slightly lower than the market price.

He thought that it would take some time to sell them, but he did not expect them to be sold out in an instant.

“Who’s that? He’s so fast!”

“I didn’t even see the effect. They’re gone just like that?”

“Boss, do you have more? I’ll take them for 6 gold coins each!”

“…”

Qin Xiao did not expect the items to be so popular. He immediately opened the trading interface.

Snow Demon Mu Xue’er has purchased Frost Grass x 20, Ice Rose Fruit x 25. You’ve obtained a total of 180 gold coins

“Snow Demon?”

Qin Xiao knew this demon. When he chose the Demon Egg, he had noticed that this was a demon with intermediate aptitude.

The other party had actually bought so many ice-attributed herbs at once.

It seemed that this person definitely had a pharmacist in their hands.

At this moment, a friend request was sent over. It was the Snow Demon Mu Xue’er.

“Boss, are you interested in long-term cooperation? I’m buying all kinds of herbs over the long term.”

Qin Xiao agreed, but he was not in a hurry to reply.

These low-level herbs were everywhere. Perhaps their price would drop in a few days. He needed to observe.

Qin Xiao closed the system interface with 210 gold coins in his hand and placed his hand on the Demon Crystal.

Follower Summoning

Phantom Laborer—The main labor force under the Crimson Demon Dragon. It has an unyielding will and basic collection and construction abilities. Level 1 normal unit. Summoning cost: 3 gold coins.

Phantom Hunter—Beginner-level combat phantom, has extraordinary combat ability among level 1 units! Level 1 elite unit. Summoning cost: 90 gold coins.

Qin Xiao pondered for a moment and summoned ten Phantom Laborers and two Phantom Hunters.

Advanced resources meant stronger wild monsters.

The Phantom Laborers were used to gather resources for Qin Xiao. The two Phantom Hunters could ensure that the laborers would not be harassed by wild monsters.

Such a ratio could maximize the efficiency of exploration. Qin Xiao did not have to go to the low-level areas personally.
