“Ten Thousand Demon Ridge? What kind of place is that?” Su Nan was curious, as it was the first time he had heard of this place.
The old man explained, “Ten Thousand Demon Ridge is the territory of the demon clan. Originally, Dongchen State had not only nine counties, but twelve.”
“Unfortunately, after ancient times, three counties were completely occupied by the demon clan, and those three counties are collectively referred to as the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.”
Su Nan suddenly understood, and his heart was filled with astonishment.
The number of demons in the Nine Counties’ land had already far exceeded the number of human warriors. It was unimaginable how many demons there would be in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
“Lord, what will be the impact on other nodes if a node is broken?”
The old man said solemnly, “If the array nodes in the other eleven states are broken, there will be no impact on our Dongchen State.”
“However, if an array node is broken in the Nine Counties of our Dongchen State, the suppression ability of all other array nodes in Dongchen State against demons would decline even further.”
“At that time, not only spirit-level demons, but even early-stage Xuan-level demons, and possibly even mid-stage Xuan-level demons, might be able to approach the array nodes.”
Suppression further weakened!
Su Nan secretly nodded, as this was within his speculation.
“After this incident, I will allow you to enter my Governor Mansion’s treasure vault to choose a treasure as a reward.”
Choosing a treasure?
Su Nan’s heart moved and said, “Governor, could I choose now? If I can increase my strength now, won’t I have a better chance of succeeding?
“You want to choose in advance?”
The old man frowned, fell silent for a moment, and nodded, “You are right. If you can complete the task, the item will naturally be yours. If you cannot complete the task, giving you the item now would increase the chances of completing it.”
The old man was not rigid and agreed with Su Nan’s request.
After speaking, he looked at Tian He and said, “General Tian, please escort
Director Zhang to the treasure vault to choose an item.”
Tian He nodded and said to Su Nan, “Director Zhang, please follow me.”
The treasure vault of the Governor Mansion is located in the west courtyard.
This place is heavily guarded.
After a few turns, Tian He led Su Nan to an underground chamber.
There was a black-clothed old man at the peak of Xuan-level guarding the chamber.
“Old Qiu, I’ve been ordered by the governor to bring Director Zhang to select a treasure,” Tian He said respectfully to the black-clothed old man on guard.
“Oh?” The black-clothed old man looked surprised, obviously recognizing Su
Nan, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes:
“So, this is the newly-appointed Demon Hunting Bureau Chief? No wonder a hero comes from the youth!”
“Senior, you’re being too flattering.” Su Nan smiled.
The black-clothed old man stopped talking, took out a key, and opened the treasure vault.
Su Nan entered the treasure vault together with the old man.
It was only a hundred-square-meter room filled with seven shelves, each filled with different items, somewhat similar to the treasure vault Su Nan had seen in the Wolf King Palace.
With a glance, Su Nan detected that there were many types of items here, including various cultivation resources.
The black-clothed old man said, “Director Zhang, I don’t know the specifics of most of the items in this treasure vault, so I can’t introduce them to you. You can choose for yourself, and when you see something you like, just let me know.”
Su Nan nodded and began to carefully inspect the items starting from the first shelf.
This opportunity was rare, so when choosing, he naturally wanted to choose the most valuable item.
Even if he couldn’t choose the most valuable item, it would be better to choose the one most useful to him.
However, as he thought this way, when he actually started choosing, he felt troubled.
Most of the items here had only a name without any introduction, and some items didn’t even have a name. How could he choose?
Fortunately, he still had his game interface. As long as he held the item in his hand, the game interface would naturally display the relevant information. Picking up a fist-sized red stone at random, the game’s introduction information appeared in his hand.
[Fire Pattern Stone: A stone containing fire power, it can be used as a material for forging spirit treasures.]
The introduction was short, and Su Nan put it down and picked up a porcelain bottle containing pills next to it.
[Yuan Restoration Pill: A pill made from a plant called Primordial Qi Grass that can restore Primordial Qi.]
Again, a short introduction left Su Nan slightly frowning.
“The information provided by the game interface is the most basic information, and it’s almost impossible to find the most valuable item through this information.”
“It seems that I can only use my personal space!”
During the second public beta test, the game introduced a function to exchange game items for reality. As long as he put the item in his personal space, the item would display the corresponding exchange price in reality, and he could determine the item’s value through the price.
With this in mind, Su Nan didn’t avoid the elder and directly put a spherical object into his personal space.
Instantly, the price of the sphere appeared in his personal space.
120 demon power.
Secretly remembering the price, he took out the sphere again and continued to the next item.
One by one, the items disappeared from his hands and then reappeared, leaving the black-clothed old man frowning.
However, he seemed to think of Su Nan’s identity as an Outsider and didn’t ask further questions.
A black stone, exchanging for reality required 235 demon power.
A dagger, exchanging for reality required 300 demon power.
“No wonder it’s the governor’s treasure vault; there are so many good things! Feeling amazed, Su Nan picked up item after item, putting it into his personal space, and checking each one.
He found that except for some pills and spirit medicine, most items here had an exchange price of more than too demon power.. Among them, the highest was a green bead the size of a grape – reaching 980 points of demon power!
