Chapter 112: Professional Corpse Collector

Clang!

Shu Yichao drew his new sword to check his new appearance via his reflection on the blade.

“White hair and red eyes? Is this a new skin? Let me check my stats...”

Name: Shu Yichao (White Hair)

Damage

Ranged Damage: 145-155 (Superior)

Melee Damage: 135-145 (Superior)

Defense

Armor: 110 (Superior)

Magic Resistance: 80 (Good)

Speed

Mounted: 250 (Average)

Overall Review: A powerful warrior hero with no weaknesses, capable of cutting and shooting enemies down. As long as you don’t get swarmed down, you can trample any enemy. However, you still need to be careful of mages and enemy heroes.

“Brave warriors of Great Tang!” Shu Yichao swung his sword, reflecting a brilliant light across the sky, “Rest assured. I, Yichao, will not break my promise! I... Hm?”

Shu Yichao suddenly heard footsteps from behind and turned around to take a look. There, he saw a fully armored man wearing a gas mask and a red-tasseled hat approaching him.

“How is it?” Shu Yichao pointed at himself gleefully. “Wasn’t I cool?”

“Cool your head!” Miazova, knowing that there was no way to salvage the situation, grasped its head in frustration. “How did you land yourself in this huge mess in such a short time?”

It had to concede that those of Shu family name people were all lunatics. This had happened for three consecutive generations now! It was as if they were obsessed with courting death!

And Shu Yichao topped the list by seeking help from vengeful ghosts!!!

Do you think that it will be that easy to exploit vengeful ghosts? Please! They won’t give you much time to fulfill the promise you have made to them.

I know that I’m a demon, but still, to be summoned by the same family for three generations and end up collecting their corpses... Fine, the last one might have his body and soul ripped apart by those vengeful spirits, so there might not even be a corpse for me to collect.

“Ten years.” Shu Yichao glanced at the timer on his screen and confidently declared, “That’s enough time.”

“Enough my ass!” Miazova felt a strong urge to hang Shu Yichao up and beat him up.

Do you hear what you’re saying? You have to recover Great Tang’s lost land, but do you think the Karluks, Uyghurs, or Tibetans are to be messed with?

Which of them don’t have a bunch of mages, warriors, and shamans? Some even have archmages, entities that even a demon like me have to avoid!

Great Tang has spent a hundred years fighting them to a stalemate, yet you think you can conquer them all alone in just ten years. Where is your confidence sprouting from?Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

“Tsk!” Shu Yichao rolled his eyes in disdain. “Don’t judge me by your standards. I am at least considered a semi-professional player... I shall restore Great Tang to its glorious days! Bro, do you want to challenge this map with me? I’ll carry you!”

Shu Yichao was overflowing with confidence.

Undead cities were tier-0 cities in Beacons of the Otherworld, not to mention he had the tier-0 talent Soul Summoning on top of that. He could hardly imagine losing with such an overpowered starting kit.

“Carry my ass!”

【Calm down, calm down. I need to think about what my senior said...】

It couldn’t seek help from its senior during its internship, or else it would be considered cheating.

【I don’t necessarily require direct contact with my host to pull off the internship. My senior did share ‘The Habits of Highly Successful Systems’ with me... I just have to keep my eyes on the end goal, use mission rewards as stepping stones, and slowly push my host forward.】

【Less talking, more missions...】

【Ah, I got it!】

System 12345 quickly came up with an idea.

【The closest capture target... is this one!】

Fortunately, the cheat code program had a ‘Hint’ function, so System 12345 used its administrative authority to input a small hint.

【But how do I set a mission? Why is there so much information to input? Where’s the field for the minimum favorability level?】

System 12345 felt like it was a layman reading a medical report—there were huge chunks of things that it had no idea what they meant.

【Hm? This terror level seems useful.】

【Loyalty? This works too. I’ll just use this as the mission condition.】

System 12345 swiftly typed in the details and set the mission parameters before issuing it via voice chat.

【Conquest Target: Female Slave Cimaga】

【Description: I am the chosen one of the grassland. How did I become a slave?! This is unacceptable! I absolutely won’t accept it! I am the Khan of the grasslands, the ruler of the world!】

【Requirement: Achieve a loyalty of 30.】

【Reward: A small bag of mana crystals.】

This time, System 12345 had merely removed the map fog to indicate the target’s location; it didn’t use a red ping. Surely its host should be able to finish a beginner mission like this with ease?

I bet that female slave will fall for him right away as long as he buys her over and shows her some kindness.

Ah no, it shouldn’t be that easy.

It’s an unbridled femme fatale we’re talking about here. It’s inevitable that she might be wary and even take advantage of him a couple of times, but as long as he tolerates her with a warm heart, it’s only a matter of time before she starts to nurture feelings for him.

【Gambatte, my host!】

【First buy the cute little slave over, and you’d be able to do whatever you want with her afterward... Ehehehe! Make sure you show her both your domineering and gentle sides!】

However, System 12345 soon discovered a problem.

【Ehh? Wait a moment... Cimaga is a guy?!】

Crap! I sent the wrong mission!!!

System 12345 was stunned.

【Urk... Ah, I think I can also maneuver it like that... 】

System 12345 quietly slipped Shu Yichao a Potion of Gender Change.

【The outcome is more important than the process... right?】
