All Easter Eggs Collected and Game Expert Settlement

The third Easter egg in the first level of Demon Village is a full set of Knight Armor.

The trigger condition is near the graveyard, on the first river island. While wearing nothing but your underwear, crouch at the edge of the island, and the armor will fall from the sky.

Although Cheng Tian already has a set, that doesn't stop him from stripping down to his manly form and triggering a new one.

The fourth Easter egg is near the graveyard entrance where the Red Imp originally stood. There, you'll find a crooked tombstone tilted at almost a 45-degree angle. Attack the crooked tombstone 15 times, and you'll summon a Vampire Magician.

The magician is exactly like the Mimic triggered by the bloodstain, but this vampire's Polymorph specialization is slightly different: he excels at turning creatures into "frogs."

Having prepared in advance, Cheng Tian, of course, won't be caught off guard. Instead, he charged up a Polymorph missile in advance. Just as the opponent appeared, before he could even spread his cloak, the hexagram slammed into him, instantly turning him into a duck.

Then, Cheng Tian calmly wrapped the Vampire Slayer around the duck's neck, and after it returned to its original form, he directly snapped its neck.

Unfortunately, the Vampire Magician didn't drop a chest, but it did increase the completion of Cheng Tian's achievement related to opening Mimics.

It seems the Vampire Magician's role in Demon Village is the same as the Mimic.

As for the last Easter egg, it's at the birth point of this dungeon mission, the small hill with only a dozen tombstones.

Again, he found an obviously tilted tombstone, stepped on it, jumped off, and the next second, a large, glittering King Statue popped out of the cracked tombstone next to it.

An ordinary King Statue is only worth 50 Heaven's Chosen Coins, but this large statue is worth 20 times that, directly redeemable for 1000 Heaven's Chosen Coins!

Since Cheng Tian had freed up space in advance, the 30-second BUG Mobi-chan Windmill, the second set of Knight Armor, and the large King Statue were all packed up and brought back by him.

And this involves the second thing—the final settlement of his talent.

[You have cleared and left the Demon Village dungeon.] [S-rank talent 'Game Expert' is settling—] [Your mission completion is 100%, your scene exploration is 100% (exploration added for finding all Easter eggs), your dungeon settlement rating is A+. You participated in and killed the Elite Red Imp and the Champion Cyclops. You triggered all 5 hidden Easter eggs in this scene. You obtained the map, a limited necessity for killing the Demon King.] [You have obtained the derived extra skill 'Soul Salvation' from the "Vampire Hunter/Simon" template. This skill will not occupy your fixed skill slot and can be used normally in all dungeons.] [Soul Salvation: D-rank/Lv-, passive skill. Description omitted. The effect is basically the same as before, but the drop rate of Innocent Souls (Small) is reduced to 20%, and the drop rate of Innocent Souls (Large) is reduced to 5%. Cannot be upgraded temporarily.]

Extracting a skill from the loaded template and saving it as an extra skill is already considered one of the best rewards in the Game Expert settlement.

Although he can't add points to upgrade it, it doesn't take up Cheng Tian's skill slots, nor does it require equipment slots like solidified effect equipment and accessories. This is the most practical reward within limited resources.

In addition, there is an additional prompt after the settlement.

[Based on your near-perfect completion of the dungeon mission while loading the "Vampire Hunter/Simon Belmont" template, you can still trigger the effect of 'Game Expert' again when you enter the Demon Village related blueprint dungeon in the future, but the loaded template can only be drawn from "Vampire Hunter" related characters.]

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Tian, who has already completed the talent settlement, can no longer obtain template loading in subsequent Demon Village levels, but he transformed into Cheng Sanguang, scouring the first level of Demon Village from top to bottom, and can be said to have obtained all the non-random things, so this reward was added.

It seems that the Space wants Cheng Tian to do the same Sanguang behavior in a future Demon Village scenario.

Obviously, the Space encourages players to explore the dungeon scenes as deeply as possible, and when time is sufficient and circumstances permit, Cheng Tian is indeed very accustomed to the Sanguang-style scavenging gameplay.

But Cheng Tian is also very clear that this situation is probably one of the benefits of the novice trial. He is now considered a formal player, and theoretically, he won't encounter pure novices anymore. In addition, the dungeon blueprint is uncontrollable, so it may not be easy to replicate this level of harvest.

By the way, although Cheng Tian's underwear still has the strawberry macho pattern, it has no effect after leaving Demon Village. This means that Arthur's inherited spirit macho coating can only take effect within Demon Village.

Cheng Tian wasn't in a hurry to throw the things he brought back from free exploration to the Space for processing. Except for the BUG Mobi-chan Windmill that he wanted to keep for doing things, the Polymorph staff for main control, and the Cyclops' head for both offense and defense, he could handle the other things depending on the situation.

After confirming these spoils, Cheng Tian looked around again, and while looking at the pure white version of the Cube room, he began to operate the panel.

Generally speaking, most Chosen Players will subconsciously modify their personal space to be the place where they are currently living in reality, because after the intense Chosen Trial, the tense nerves must be relaxed, and usually, their own home is the most relaxing.

However, Cheng Tian quickly received a payment reminder from the Space, saying that if he wanted to modify this place into the appearance of the Demon Village cemetery, he would need to pay a property fee of 1 Heaven's Chosen Coin per square meter...

Seeing this prompt, Cheng Tian not only didn't get annoyed, but instead showed a thoughtful expression.

Then, Cheng Tian tried to transform his personal space into the appearance of Super Mario Brothers, with red bricks all over the ground and floating bricks all over the sky. This time, he wasn't given a payment reminder, but was told that he lacked the corresponding permissions.

Cheng Tian seemed to understand a little.

As a light to moderate player of games such as Minecraft, Terraria, The Sims, and Palworld, Cheng Tian, who knows that once he gets into the field of home remodeling, he can easily forget the passage of time, decisively gave up modifying his personal space, only casually made a double bed of the same style as his own, put two stacked storage boxes by the bed as bedside tables, and separately framed out a toilet area with a toilet, sink, and shower in a more distant place.

Very satisfied with his pure prison-style masterpiece, Cheng Tian repeatedly confirmed that the toilet could flush normally before sitting down on it with a plop, and after a series of facial contortions, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Tian, wearing a Deadpool mask and dressed in a Western cowboy style, was already standing in the central square of Space Island.

However, before he could take a few breaths of the air in Chosen Evolution Space, he was already surrounded.

Just as he thought he was about to be besieged, he heard such shouts in his ears.

"Friend! Want to know about swimming and fitness!"
