"?"
Shi Li was a little confused.
Regardless of how the other party figured it out, he had killed quite a few monsters in the dungeon in about a hundred days.
Isn't it normal to have sins of killing on your body?
"Please follow me."
The monk stood up and took Shi Li deeper into the cave.
"If you want to become a registered demon hunter, you need to undergo an on-site assessment at the Demon Hunter's Office."
"But don't worry. Although these tests are difficult for ordinary people, they should be easy for you who have already eliminated monsters."
"It's just a routine matter, just to verify its authenticity."
He introduced as he walked.
"……,etc."
However, Shi Li felt something was wrong when he heard it: "Don't we need a letter of recommendation?"
"Oh? You even know this?"
"Become a disciple and learn skills → get the master's approval and get a letter of recommendation → then pass the assessment of the demon-killing house → receive the magic weapon, isn't this the whole process?"
"What you are talking about is the procedure for high-level demon hunters. If you want to become a registered demon hunter at the lowest level, you only need to come to the Demon Hunter's Mansion for the assessment."
"???"
"We certainly won't restrict people with abilities and strength from becoming demon slayers. Does that mean you lose the qualifications to become a demon slayer if you don't have a master? Absolutely not."
The monk was still talking in front, but Shi Li could not walk anymore.
He thought carefully and found that the words "senior demon hunter" did appear in Doraemon's introduction at that time.
But……
Open the task panel and read the history carefully from the beginning.
As a result, he found the clue in the first one.
[Final mission, become a registered demon hunter ]
[Mission 1, gain the favor of demon slayer Chu Shisan]
[Tip: With the help of division by thirteen, you can get twice the result with half the effort]
Twice the effort, half the result, half the effort, twice the result…
Plop!
He simply knelt on the ground in silence.
Getting half the result with twice the effort means much effort but little benefit.
Getting twice the result with half the effort means getting great benefits with little effort.
This task system... is not serious!
But the system didn't indicate any error, and what people wrote was indeed half the result with twice the effort.
Who can you blame if you don't pay attention?
He always encounters stucks in missions, but he didn't expect that this time the mission would play tricks on him.
Damn it!
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing the noise, the monk turned around and asked.
"No, nothing."
Shi Li stood up again and shook his head.
He could only comfort himself that it was not a bad thing actually.
If I hadn't followed the number 13, I wouldn't have encountered the player and would have had 10 more chances to draw cards.
Not only will you not get a chain of quests, you will also get a B-level material card.
Overall, it was time-consuming, but the results were definitely great.
"You mentioned a letter of recommendation just now. Do you have one?"
The monk asked again.
"Will the assessment for high-level demon hunters be more difficult?"
Shi Li asked back.
"It is indeed much more difficult. If a low-level demon hunter cannot obtain one or two large missions, it will usually take him ten to eight years to be promoted just by accumulating small missions."
The monk replied.
"Oh, I had a letter of recommendation before, but it's gone now."
"Please give me the simplest set meal."
Shi Li took out the envelope and tore it up.
He will be refunded after completing the task, there is no need to take the more difficult and complicated advanced assessment.
"Haha, that's up to you, of course."
A piece of the torn paper fell to the ground during the tearing process, and the monk accidentally saw familiar handwriting and a familiar : Except for Thirteen.
"I didn't expect that Chu Shisan finally took out a disciple."
He smiled.
Chu Shisan is a well-known demon hunter in their area.
As one of the outstanding children of the Chu family, his strength is naturally needless to say, and he is definitely among the top five in this jurisdiction.
But he has always been unwilling to accept disciples, which has caused dissatisfaction among the top leaders of the Demon-Exterminating House. They are afraid that this guy will die suddenly one day and his skills will be lost.
"Master, do you know him?"
"Well, this person used to work in the palace, and he is quite righteous."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
"Every month when he gets his salary, he comes to play mahjong with me and loses some money to me."
"..., I knew it. Wait, a monk like you gambles with him, you don't seem like a good person."
"Haha, what a sin, what a sin, Amitabha."
The monk smiled and did not refute.
While talking, the two came to the martial arts arena.
The training ground was very large, and no one was using it at this time.
At the end of the field, there is a white pillar.
The shape of the pillar is a bit strange. It is not round but uneven.
And on both sides of the pillar, there are branches extending out like fan blades.
Shi Li took a look from a distance and thought that this might be the skeleton of some large species, erected upright here by someone.
Unexpectedly, the destination the monk wanted to take him to was this strange bone.
"The assessment for demon slayers is actually very simple. Let me introduce it to you."
"This bone comes from a species called evil demon."
He stretched out his hand and pressed on the surface of the bone, smiling and saying, "As Chu Shisan's apprentice, and having received his recommendation letter, you should know about the catastrophe caused by the aliens nearly a hundred years ago."
"I'm not his apprentice."
Shi Li spread his hands and said, "But I have indeed heard of this incident."
To this, the monk just smiled.
Considering his previous behavior of tearing up the letter, he misunderstood this as a statement made in anger.
Besides Thirteen, who was a bit rebellious by nature, it was not surprising that the disciples he taught were also rebellious.
"Since you've heard about the catastrophe, that's enough."
"After the humans and demons repelled the alien army, they left behind a forbidden secret method in our world."
"This forbidden technique can transform a monster into a brutal evil demon."
"The evil demon will have more powerful power than the original demon beast, so this forbidden method will inevitably be used by those with ulterior motives."
"And there is also a forbidden method among forbidden methods, which is to gather the remains of many evil demons together and summon an evil demon dragon."
"In addition to its strong physique, the evil dragon is best at using sound waves to charm the mind."
"What is in front of you now is a piece of the claw bone of the evil dragon."
As he spoke, the monk bent his knuckles and tapped lightly on the surface of the bone.
bite!
A clear and crisp sound resounded throughout the entire training ground.
"The bones of the evil dragon are hollow and can make beautiful sounds."
"In the beginning, some large demons would use the bones of evil dragons as musical instruments."
"But then gradually, it evolved into a device for testing strength."
As he said this, the monk changed his stance and slapped the boy.
Bang!
But this time only the flesh made a sound, and there was no sound from the bones.
It was obvious that the finger-knocking attack on him just now was done with some tricks, but the slap in the face was not.
Change to finger tapping again.
Ding! Dong!
This time the bones snapped twice.
Shi Li noticed that the sound was made by two different joints, the first and second joints from the bottom up, and the timbres were also different.
"This bone cannot be made to sound with ordinary strength."
"And the stronger the force, the more joints can make sounds."
"The test for low-level demon hunters is to make the first segment of the joints sound."
"If it's a high-level demon hunter assessment, then at least three sections of pronunciation are required."
"So, do you understand?"
The monk looked at him.
"I understand."
"Very good, now you can start..."
Ding! Dong! Bang! Lang! Buzz! ... Snap!
Before the monk could finish his words, Shi Li hit him with the stick with all his strength.
"Lying down... Amitabha!"
The monk's eyes bulged and he almost cursed at the speed of his car.
Five rings?!
Did I hear it right?!
You have to know that Wu Xiang’s level is something that even his power can’t achieve!
Except for this guy Thirteen, where did they find this monster? !
"Master, you have great accomplishments. You can even stop yourself when the words are on your lips."
Shi Li changed his hand to hold the stick and expressed his admiration with a calm expression.
In fact, he was emotional when he hit her with this stick.
It is not only a way to leave the dungeon without any regrets, but also a way to vent the resentment of being fooled by the task panel.
So he used almost all his strength in this blow.
I didn't care how much it sounded.
Because the only thing he cares about now is... his hands are numb.
This bone is really hard!
I never expected the recoil force to be so strong that I could hardly hold the iron rod.
If he hadn't been trying to show off and not show weakness, he would have started shaking his hands wildly.
As for now, looking at the monk's eyes as if he was looking at a monster, he couldn't help but praise himself: Very good, very natural.
"Congratulations, you have reached the level of becoming a high-level demon slayer."
"Take this to the office and you can register as a real demon hunter."
The monk came to his senses and took out a red medal from his pocket.
The medal shone in front of Shi Li's face.
Buzz!
His face was reflected on it.
"Thank you very much."
Shi Li took the medal and walked out of the training ground without looking back.
The monk who stayed where he was watched his back and couldn't help but sigh: The young are to be feared.
Crack...Boom!
However, at this moment, the evil dragon bone beside him suddenly collapsed.
"???"
The monk was stunned and didn't react for a moment to what was happening.
"If you want to compensate me, just deduct it from the salary of Shisan."
He suddenly noticed that the young man who had said this seemed to have quickened his pace.
After leaving the scene as if in a hit-and-run situation, Shi Li took the medal to the office directed by the monk.
Everything went smoothly afterwards and a series of procedures were completed quickly.
"Congratulations, you are now an official demon slayer."
When the female spirit in charge of registration congratulated and handed over the identity token, she suddenly looked up and found that the other party had disappeared.
…
Buzz!
A column of light descended, and Shi Li appeared in the pure white space.
“It’s not easy…”
He sighed when he saw the environment he hadn't seen for a long time.
This is the longest dungeon trip I have taken so far.
Almost 100 days.
It’s really emotional to think that after I got out, only less than 10 days had passed in the Cubic Metaverse.
This unequal flow of time on both sides can easily cause people to have a superficial concept of age.
However, once you become a poker player, even a pure human's life span will be greatly increased, so you don't need to pay too much attention to age.
At this time, lines of subtitle panels pop up.
[Instance completion - 100%]
[Getting experience points, calculating...]
[Congratulations, your level has been raised to LV6]
“I’ve taken so many detours, but it’s still only 100%.”
Shi Li covered his forehead and smiled bitterly: "But the experience points given are quite a lot."
After he cleared [The Isolated Outpost] last time, his experience bar had already reached level 5, approaching level 6.
Now it has become LV6 + half pipe, proving that the [Demon Hunter] book gives a lot.
I estimate that I can upgrade to LV7 in the next copy.
After the level was raised, he could clearly feel that his physique had been further strengthened, which was very good.
[Please draw 20 cards as rewards for this instance]
"20 card drawing tasks, this time it's going to be fun."
"Should we try to PK with other players in the future?"
But this was just a casual remark. Shi Li knew that only in a fixed common world like the world of humans and demons would there be a chance of encountering other source card players, and the chance was not high.
Small dungeons like those were where fragments of the world's projection were extracted, so there was no possibility of entering with other source players.
As for the case of [Ancient Palace Prison], everyone entered through the same dungeon and had the same card players. He had killed quite a few of them before and did not see an increase in the number of card draws.
Whoosh!
Soon, one [? ] card after another flew out and was neatly placed in front of him.
1000 sheets. A full 1000 sheets.
"This copy is awesome, there are so many options."
"Twenty out of 1,000 tickets are drawn, which is 2% of the draw amount."
He walked to the card at the edge with ease and stared at it.
A few seconds later, a green-skinned little demon jumped out from the projection on the card.
With a big belly and thin hands and feet, it is obvious that he is not very strong in fighting.
[Inferior green skin]
Balance, 30 points, E
Attack 30, 100/100
"PASS."
bite!
Shi Li flicked it away without any interest.
However, from the appearance of this [Inferior Green Skin], he got a message.
During this trip to the dungeon, I actually didn't encounter that many monsters.
Therefore, he has an impression of every monster, whether it is a demon beast or a spirit monster.
This green-skinned little demon is someone I have never seen before.
In other words, the projection capture of this card pool should not be limited to things that you have encountered.
Maybe it is something that we have never seen but exists and will appear with a small probability.
If you have encountered it before, the probability of it appearing will be higher.
Anyway, this is undoubtedly good news.
Because if he only captured the things he had encountered and turned them into projections and put them into the card pool, then he estimated that there might be a lot of ordinary people in the card pool this time, and he might not even be able to get 20 D-level cards together.
"Isn't this Master Shi?"
As he was previewing, he saw a familiar figure.
However, this card is a little special, because there is more than one Master Shi in the card projection.
Besides him, there are two other deputy directors.
They are all Shi Li’s acquaintances, and they practice with him together.
To be honest, the fighting power of these three was not that good.
If he uses the [Iron Rod], he can easily defeat three people at once.
But this card is different.
【Three Demons of the Martial Arts School】
Balanced, 2 0 points, D
Attack 25, 100/100
[Martial Arts School Atmosphere - Passive]: When the three martial arts school monsters are present, increase the attack power of your Kung Fu cards by 5
The "presence" here refers to the unveiling status.
Because when the cards are covered, unless otherwise specified, skills will not be effective.
"It's only 20 basic attack power. If we count the three curators individually, each monster doesn't even have an attack power of 7."
"But this card unexpectedly works."
This halo may seem insignificant, but the key is that he also has other kung fu cards.
[Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] is the absolute main card in my current deck.
With [Three Monsters of Martial Arts Hall] + [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit], it is equivalent to 45 points having 55 points of attack power, which is awesome.
If you look at this card alone, it is the same as the [Iron Stick] when it was still D-level, 20 points, 25 attack.
But when putting it in his own deck, Shi Li regarded it as a small top-quality card, D-level, +10 attack, what else would he want.
I drew cards a lot today, so this [Three Monsters of the Martial Arts School] can basically be determined as a must-have.
Just in case, put it out of the list and list it as a key alternative.
He then previewed more than a dozen cards in a row, and as he expected, they were all ordinary E-level cards.
“This one looks good.”
However, when he was about to preview 30 photos, he found a good target.
【Aiya! 】
A banshee with a flame lower half and flame upper half emerged from the card.
Shi Li recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
After all, this was the first monster he encountered after entering the dungeon.
He was the one who was killed by Thirteen at the fire scene in the wasteland on the first night.
This is an E-grade card, but it is not ordinary.
【Fire Demon】
Rage, 80 points, E
Attack 80, 100/100
High-scoring cards, and high-scoring ones at that.
This is the highest-scoring card he has previewed in any pool so far.
In other card pools before, Shi Li had also encountered ones with scores of 50 to 70.
But I didn’t make a choice for two reasons.
The first is that the number of times you can draw cards is too limited. The number of options that you like exceeds the number of times you can draw cards, and you don't have more times to choose high-scoring cards.
Secondly, those high-scoring cards are all E-grade or negative D-grade useless cards and are not worth it.
But today was different, he drew a lot of cards.
So far, my 6+1 PVE deck has two shortcomings.
One shortcoming is that there are no sustainable healing cards.
Another shortcoming is the low utilization rate of scores.
After placing [Giant Zombie] in the first row, even if the following four cards are all of the highest score, they still cannot fill the upper limit of the score.
This is the case when fighting [Iron-Feathered Great Sparrow], and the same is true when fighting [Jade-Horned Deer].
The upper limit of the score is 210, but I only built a deck of 180, wasting 30 points. It's a pity.
But if there is a high-scoring card, even an E-grade one, the problem can be easily solved.
"I thought I would get 20 D-rank or above today, but it looks like I won't get that."
Shi Li really wanted this [Fire Demon] card.
So it was put forward and listed as an alternative.
"With a base of 1,000 cards and a 20-card draw frequency, it's true that confidence is different."
"I've only looked at less than 30 photos and I've already listed two as alternatives."
"That means there are 66 alternatives out of 1,000."
"It looks like I have a choice today."
Shi Li gave a wry smile.
He didn't dare to preview these 1,000 cards in batches all at once, otherwise the mental impact might be too great.
Anyway, there is plenty of time, so there is no rush.
However, he soon regretted setting the goal too early, and he kept previewing until the 50th photo, but still got nothing.
The alternative cards are still those two.
"Huh?"
Fortunately, when he previewed the 53rd picture, he made a new discovery.
"There is actually such a card? No way..."
