Chapter 1105 World Stone
"The exploding cake is ineffective?" Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows.
"No, this guy's eyes are full of desire, but he doesn't move. It seems that he is a guy with strong willpower. There are temptations, but he can control himself."
"In that case..."
Zhang Tuohai used his skill: Cognition Correction on the monster.
"I am your master. You must obey all my orders unconditionally."
The modification is complete.
The monster's eyes when looking at Zhang Tuohai changed from contempt to admiration and obedience.
"Sit down." Zhang Tuohai said.
The monster sat down immediately , swinging its huge tail back and forth.
"Roll over." Zhang Tuohai said.
The monster rolled on the ground and fell into the boiling lava.
The boiling magma is thousands of degrees Celsius and can even melt steel.
Although this demon has scales that can block sharp swords, it cannot withstand the boiling magma.
The worst part is that the monster can't swim at all.
After all, there is no water in hell, so even if you learn how to swim you have nowhere to use it.
Gulp gurgle, the monster sank to the bottom of the lava river.
Zhang Tuohai: “…”
He also wanted to use this monster to beat the demon king at the end of the level.
You were watching a dog-eat-dog show, but it seems like things went wrong?
"Forget it, it will work the same on the demon king at the end of the level."
Zhang Tuohai walked into the cathedral.
There was a big hole in the huge dome of the church. A ray of sunlight shone in from the hole, shining on the platform in front and forming a circle of light on the platform.
In the circle of light, a man in a gray robe was muttering something to a huge red rock.
"Are you the Demon King?" Zhang Tuohai asked while using skill recognition correction on the other party.
However, the huge red rock flickered, and a red light emerged, blocking the skill.
The gray-robed man smiled and said, "Don't waste your energy. I have already merged with the World Stone. As long as the World Stone does not collapse, I am immortal. If you want to deal with me, do it in the World Stone."
As the gray-robed man spoke, he pressed one hand on the World Stone. A red magic circle flashed, and the huge World Stone shattered and turned into a red sun, spreading its sunlight all over the earth.
The red light rushed from the Fortress of Demons, across the Plains of Despair, flew over the snow-capped mountains, crossed the Sea of Death, passed through Alexandria, and shone all the way to the Wanderer Camp, illuminating every corner of the world. Countless people stopped the work in their hands, looked up at the red light in the sky, and then, one by one, they flew up involuntarily and immersed themselves in the red light.
Zhang Tuohai felt a strong vibration on his phone.
Zhang Tuohai took it out and saw a message popped up on it.
[Final mission: Defeat the demon king Mephisto in the world of the World Stone. If you succeed, you will clear the game and get the chance to realize your wish. If you fail, you will die. Do you accept the mission? ]
[Note: You can choose to refuse, but the price is to stay in this world forever. ]
"Accept it, why not? Why did I come here? Isn't it just to defeat some damn devil and get back my precious daughter Lilith? What's the point of staying in this broken world? Accept it!"
Zhang Tuohai chose to accept it.
Zhang Tuohai's body slowly flew up and disappeared into the red light.
In the red light, a game prompt popped up.
[Because the world rules in the World Stone are not completely consistent with the current world rules, some skills and equipment cannot be used. In order to compensate the players, the unusable skills, equipment and materials have been exchanged for compensation cards. Please make your choice. ]
[Warning: You have been marked as an enemy of the world by Mephisto. Please choose your identity carefully.]
Below the prompt is a long list of compensation cards, with a brief introduction below each compensation card.
The first card is a full-length image of a knight with two words written below: Lord.
[Lord: You are the lord of a fiefdom. You can do whatever you want in the territory, even recruiting troops. ]
[Note: If you choose this identity, the compensation is to upgrade your fief village to a city-state. ]
The second card shows a man in a robe with two words written below: Official.
[Official: You are an official of the empire, assisting the king in fulfilling his ambitions. Of course, you can also choose to cultivate your own party, sideline the king, become a powerful official, or even let your son become the king.]
[Note: If you choose this role, as compensation, your initial role will be Chancellor of the Exchequer.]
The third card is a fat man in a gorgeous robe, holding a bag of gold coins.
[Merchant: You are a merchant of the empire. Your goal is to buy low and sell high to make a profit. Of course, you can also choose to become the mastermind behind the world like the Iron Money House.]
[Note: If you choose this identity, as compensation, you will initially have a complete caravan and trade route. ]
The fourth card is an old man wearing a robe and holding a book.
[Scholar: You are a wise man with rich knowledge. Use your wisdom to change the world. You have found secret knowledge in dusty books and gained extraordinary abilities.]
[Note: If you choose this identity, you will have a banned book as compensation. ]
The fifth card is a man holding a bow and arrow with a machete on his waist.
[Wanderer: You are a person who wanders in the jungle and mountains. You are both good and evil. You can be a hunter who hunts animals and protects pedestrians on the road, or you can be a thief who robs houses.]
[Note: If you choose this identity, as compensation, you will have a full set of wanderer equipment and skills. ]
The sixth card shows a man holding a scimitar, standing on the bow, with a skull and crossbones flag flying behind him.
[Pirate: You are a pirate who makes a living by robbing the Empire's fleet. As an enemy of the Empire, you will be wanted by the Empire.]
[Note: If you choose this identity, as compensation, you will have all the skills of a pirate. ]
After looking at the warning and then at the optional cards, Zhang Tuohai directly ruled out the first three options.
Having been labeled as an enemy of the world, it would be a madman to continue working for the Empire.
Those compensations are nothing but illusions, and you may be arrested and killed on the spot before you even get the bonuses.
The only three options he could choose from were the last three.
Scholars seem to be a mage school, but mages are all fragile in the early stage, and, looking at the description, the skills should all be learned from books, especially forbidden books. It seems that when you have the strength in the future, you can get two forbidden books to specialize in them. In the early stage, you don’t have to worry so much and can choose a profession that is more suitable for survival.
Zhang Tuohai was hesitating between the latter two professions. Both were professions with relatively strong survival abilities, the only difference being that one’s main activity area was on land, while the other’s was on sea.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Tuohai chose pirates.
The reason for the choice is simple. Pirates have ships as their means of transportation, unlike wanderers who have to rely on their own two legs to go everywhere.
