Chapter 95: Chapter 91: Su Tan’s Benefits

Having received the quest, Fu Jian was thrilled.

He wanted to finish the quest as quickly as possible to draw for a Celestial Emperor’s Divine Artifact. What if lady luck was on his side and he actually pulled it?

Hunting down ten Yin Demons, regardless of their strength, was a simple task. Couldn’t he just find a few weak mobs to make up the numbers?

Following the instructions, Fu Jian opened the minimap. This was the map for the entire Marching Battlefield. The vast area was divided into nine zones. Ranging from one to nine, the danger levels varied: Zone One was a safe zone, Zone Two was relatively safe... and Zone Nine was extremely dangerous. The minimap wasn’t detailed, only providing a rough outline of the zones. If players wanted accurate information, they had to explore it themselves.

Su Tan could have actually made the map fully revealed from the start, but that would be boring. Allowing players to slowly explore it themselves would satisfy their desires for discovery and collection, providing them with a fulfilling gaming experience and plenty of fun.

Generally speaking, novices would log into the safe zone. Based on the map’s information, Fu Jian chose a safe location where he was highly likely to find Yin Demons and made his way over.

As he walked, Fu Jian sensed something unusual behind him.

SWISH!

His expression changed as he drew his longsword and swung it behind him.

SCREECH!

A terrifying, agonizing shriek echoed, sounding just like a vengeful spirit. It really was a Yin Demon! Fu Jian was surprised.

This game was far too realistic. The combat experience was identical to the real world. Even the texture and shrieks of the Yin Demon were incredibly lifelike. In the real world, this was the exact same feeling he had when entering the Primitive Forest to hunt Demon Beasts. It felt like this game was an actual battlefield. Not only could it provide entertainment and increase one’s cultivation, but it could also improve a person’s combat reflexes. It killed multiple birds with one stone.

SLASH!

This was a rather weak Yin Demon. Taking the sword strike, Fu Jian saw a blood-red symbol pop up above the Yin Demon’s head.

-24...

He wondered if this represented health loss.

SWISH!

Fu Jian didn’t just stand there foolishly. Seeing the Yin Demon injured, he quickly followed up with another strike to finish it off.

-50...

"Congratulations on killing a Yin Demon. Points +1, yin coins +1...

"Novice Quest Progress: 1/10...

"Please continue to work hard! One day, you will become the next highly respected Celestial Emperor!" Qing offered sweet words of encouragement.

These words made Fu Jian, who was already in high spirits after slaying a Yin Demon, even happier.

"Thank you for the encouragement, Qing. I will work hard," he said. "So the terrifying Yin Demons recorded in the historical annals are nothing more than this... Watch me kill them all."

Then, sword in hand, he continued his search, slaying Yin Demons.

Half an hour later.

"You are truly unparalleled in this world! You have continuously killed ten Yin Demons!

"Novice Quest Progress: 10/10...

"You have completed the Novice Quest. Yin coins +10, points +10... You have additionally earned a novice lucky draw.

"Would you like to draw now?"

Having finally killed ten Yin Demons and completed the quest, a hint of a smile appeared on Fu Jian’s exhausted face.

"Draw immediately!"

DING DING DING!

A continuous series of chimes rang out for the lucky draw.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

"Congratulations, you have received a novice benefit: the Divine War Login Token! With this Token, you can log into the Divine War Game from anywhere!

"Unfortunately, you did not obtain a Celestial Emperor’s Divine Artifact. However, please do not be discouraged! When you achieve the next milestone—a hundred kills—you will receive another free lucky draw opportunity. Qing wishes you success in drawing a Celestial Emperor’s Magical Artifact in the future!"

Although Fu Jian felt regretful, he didn’t mind too much. This was perfectly normal! That was a Celestial Emperor’s Divine Artifact, after all. How could he possibly draw it on his first try? If he really had, wouldn’t it be far too absurd?

And so... he began the next leg of his journey.

Inside the Divine Mansion!

Su Tan, the Monk, and the Little White Wolf were all present. In the center of the Divine Mansion sat a massive model map, much like a sandbox model in a real estate sales office. It allowed them to view any location within the Void God Realm, including the Marching Battlefield, displaying real-time 3D visuals to observe the situation there. With his Overlord Body Realm expanded, Su Tan could "see" these images.

"I didn’t expect you to create such a Perfect game venue in just seven short days. Impressive!" Su Tan was highly satisfied with the results of the Divine War Game. The player’s immersive gaming experience was just as he had envisioned.

"It’s just a trifling trick, not worth mentioning at all..." the Monk waved his hand, looking immensely proud of himself. Not worth mentioning? He clearly wanted to toot his own horn to the heavens. "As long as I control the administrative room, I am a god within the Void God Realm. Creating a game venue... is truly no big deal."

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

Su Tan had originally intended to sit back down and continue observing the movements of Fu Jian, the sole player in Divine War. But at that moment, he suddenly stood up and said in astonishment, "Huh... I... I haven’t done anything, so why has my internal Spiritual Energy suddenly increased by so much?"

A surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly flooded into his body and merged into his Dantian. Su Tan could clearly feel that the newly added volume of Spiritual Power was quite substantial.

"Isn’t this completely normal? I told you that becoming an administrator of the Void God Realm comes with many perks. You are currently essentially a part of the Void God Realm, so it will automatically pay you a salary. This Spiritual Power is definitely related to the Marching Battlefield. When Fu Jian kills Yin Demons, you also receive a 20% Spiritual Power reward," the Monk explained. "Look at you making a fuss over nothing. The increase in Spiritual Power is only one of the benefits. There will be many more unexpected surprises in the future, so just look forward to them."

"Twenty percent? That much?" Su Tan honestly hadn’t known such a good thing existed. Did that mean he could become stronger in the future without even deliberately engaging in Qi Condensation? How much effort would that save him? How much time would that save?

"Originally, it wasn’t that much. It was supposed to be 10% for you and 10% for me. But considering that the Marching Battlefield was your idea, that you planned it single-handedly, and put in all the hard work, I decided to give my 10% Spiritual Power feedback to you as a reward for your outstanding contributions," the Monk said magnanimously. He acted very carefree, wanting to show just how generous he was.

Had Su Tan not known this guy well, he really might have been deceived by this act.

"That doesn’t seem right... It’s the result of both our efforts, after all. How about this... I return that 10% feedback to you?" Su Tan offered.

"No, no, no... Your contributions are indelible. I’m just a lowly subordinate who knows exactly how much I’ve actually contributed. I’m not the type to claim credit for others’ work; what’s fair is fair, and this is exactly what you deserve... Besides, I’ve already completely bound that 10% benefit feedback to you. It’s merged into a single stream with your own benefits... Even if you wanted to return it to me, it’s impossible," the Monk refused.

Was there really someone in the world who would force others to take benefits in such an act of selfless devotion? Yes!! There definitely was!! Su Tan believed that such people existed in this world, but... it was absolutely not this Fat Monk.

Others might not know what his character was really like, but how could Su Tan not understand? This guy probably still didn’t believe in his heart that Su Tan could handle the Yin Demons. He still wanted to pass the buck. *It was your idea, you’re the administrator, and you received all the benefits. If you don’t take the blame, who will?* He harbored ill intentions.

But it didn’t matter. Su Tan was right at the critical stage of the Qi Condensation realm and needed a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. This was perfect; he could become stronger without even cultivating. For Su Tan, this was a good thing. In the future, once the Divine War Game became popular, it would be equivalent to having countless cultivators condensing Qi and cultivating on his behalf. How wonderful would that be? As for the so-called taking the blame... He would cross that bridge when he came to it. Su Tan wasn’t afraid of taking the blame.

If it really came down to taking the blame, the Yin Demons would have likely already entered the real world and gone on a massacre. It wasn’t even certain if he would survive, so why fear taking the blame?

He thought, "With this... I won’t have to spend my energy on Qi Condensation. I can dedicate myself wholeheartedly to getting some Qi Condensation Cultivation Techniques to improve the quality of the Ten Thousand Dao Furnace’s Qi Condensation Chapter. If I could add Infinite Qi Cultivation on top of that... wouldn’t it be utterly heaven-defying?"

To think that his unintentional involvement in creating the Divine War Game would bring such an unexpected, joyful surprise.
