The Plot to Conquer Demon Mountain

Lu Yan'an entered the study, sat at the desk, turned on the smart screen on his right wrist, and directly opened the page.

Safe Level, Normal level, Difficult level, Dangerous level, Extreme level.

After completing five dangerous-level missions in a row, Lu Yan'an had become somewhat numb to them!

"Extreme level!" So this time he didn't hesitate at all and clicked directly.

Drip--drip--drip--drip--drip--

A piercing sound emanated from the screen.

"Lu Yan'an, let me solemnly remind you, this is Desperate Level Mission. Many members of my Virtual Universe Company from the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primal Secret Region Member have lost their lives when they took on Desperate Level Mission. I suggest you make thorough preparations before trying to take on Desperate Level Mission." The electronic voice echoed in the study.

"If you want to go back, please select Cancel; if you want to accept the Desperate Level Mission, please select Confirm."

"Note that once this is decided, there is no going back."

"We must carry out this Desperate Level Mission!"

Lu Yan'an naturally dared not take this Desperate Level Mission lightly. Those who dared to undertake such missions were all confident, yet the mortality rate remained a terrifying 90%! Even with his Time Demon Beast Clone, whose survival ability was ten or a hundred times stronger than others, Lu Yan'an couldn't guarantee absolute safety.

Of the five dangerous missions he had experienced in the previous three years alone, he had actually encountered danger twice. If it weren't for the energy life essence of the Time Demon Beast, he wouldn't even have had a chance to escape when facing Immortal Level mental attack.

Dangerous missions always involve considerable trouble, sometimes even involving powerful beings at the Immortal Level personally hunting them down.

Naturally, no carelessness is allowed when carrying out this Desperate Level Mission.

Lu Yan'an pondered for a moment, then decisively clicked the "OK" button on the screen.

Drop!

The screen refreshed automatically, displaying a brand new page. This page is only visible when you actually begin accepting the Desperate Level Mission.

At the very top of the page is a line of text. "Desperate Level Mission have a 90% mortality rate. Surviving these perilous situations requires both skill and luck. You can only choose a maximum of three Desperate Level Mission. Please choose carefully."

The following is a list of Desperate Level Mission:

1. Purgatory Abyss (The Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

2. Cloud Palace (Giant Axe Dojo, God Beginning Secret Realm)

10. Demon Mountain (Primordial Secret Realm of Virtual Universe Company)

Lu Yan'an frowned slightly as he looked at the list. "There are 134 dangerous-level missions in total, while there were 186 in the original work. I didn't expect there to be even fewer Desperate Level Mission, only 10 in total, compared to 18 in the original work! That's too few."

There are only 10 desperate accommodations, which is half the number of the original 18! That's a pitifully small number.

Of the Desperate Level Mission, only two are located in secret realms under the Virtual Universe Company. The other two are located in secret realms under the Giant Axe Dojo, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe Galaxy Bank, and the Universe First Bank, respectively. Just by looking at these names, Lu Yan'an could feel the overwhelming pressure and bloodshed. Being rated as "perilous" by the virtual system was definitely not just meant to scare people.

"Let's take a closer look at each one. What exactly are these desperate situations? How different are they from the original story?" Lu Yan'an began to flip through the pages.

Each perilous situation is described in detail, along with specific task requirements.

The scores vary.

The lowest-ranked mission is the "Dead Star" mission, which is ranked ninth. However, there are three Dead Star missions in total, each worth 80,000 points. The Virtual Original Universe Corporation even allows participants to selectively abandon one mission, which is quite humane.

The highest reward is the "Purgatory Abyss" mission, which ranks first and offers a reward of 1 million points for just one mission.

I read and pondered carefully for an hour before I knew it.

"This perilous mission never intended for anyone to leave alive! Strength is fundamental, of course, but a bit of luck is also crucial. Even I could easily find myself in a desperate situation if I wasn't careful, and even if I revealed all my trump cards, I might not be able to come out alive."

Each of the 10 tasks was difficult, and each one gave him a huge headache.

"I need to choose two or three missions now. Besides the mandatory Demon Mountain, I also need to carefully select two backups. If someone has already claimed the 'Demon Sound God General's' inheritance mission, then I'll have to consider which mission to take next!" Lu Yan'an pondered with a headache.

That's right, his main objective for this Desperate Level Mission was to obtain the "Demon Sound God General's" legacy! After all, he also possessed an energy life Clone that was practically cheating.

"Forget it, forget it, why think so much? Let's finish the Demon Mountain Mission first." He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Drop!"

"Please confirm acceptance of the Demon Mountain training mission."

"Received successfully."

"Please fill in your departure time. Virtual Universe Company will arrange for someone to take you to Demon Mountain."

Lu Yan'an took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then submitted his departure time on the Virtual Universe System.

Demon Mountain is an ancient and mysterious place in the Primordial Secret Realm.

It floats in the void.

Surrounding Demon Mountain are nine ancient planets, each inhabited by a large number of natives. Countless powerful natives leave their own planets to venture into Demon Mountain, for only those who survive Demon Mountain will be recruited by the Virtual Universe Company and become its members.

Yes!

This Demon Mountain and the surrounding planets are completely controlled by the Virtual Universe Company, and are being used for natural selection!

The Demon Mountain Mission:

1. Survive in the Demon Mountain for three months and receive a reward of 100,000 points.

2. Survive in the Demon Mountain for three years and receive a reward of 300,000 points.

These two tasks are very simple.

It's just about survival!

The mission remained unchanged. Lu Yan'an clearly remembered that in the original story, the mission issued by Demon Mountain was also a survival mission, but even a simple survival mission was a level of despair for those who came to carry it out! Even City Lord Luo from the original story had a near-death experience in Demon Mountain, and was almost stabbed in the back by "Moro," a genius from the same Virtual Universe Company!

Therefore, to accomplish this task, it is not only necessary to guard against its internal crises, but also against infighting within the Virtual Universe Company.

One day later.

A spaceship arrived in Lu Yan'an's territory in Wuchen Spacetime.

"Your His Highness An Lu Yan'an"

Three men in black uniforms stepped out of the spaceship and bowed respectfully.

"Okay, let's go." Lu Yan'an nodded, having made full preparations and traveling light.

"Yes."

The three uniformed men saluted respectfully and followed Lu Yan'an into the hatch. The hatch then slowly closed, and the spaceship began to ascend.

"Your Highness, please be careful!" Hisoka the Immortal warned.

Upon hearing Hisoka's words, all the remaining guards bowed to Lu Yan'an inside the spaceship.

"Thank you!" Lu Yan'an said, clasping his hands in gratitude from inside the cabin. The cabin door closed completely the next moment.

With a "whoosh!" sound.

The spaceship disappeared into the distant horizon in moments.

"Cosmic Shuttle complete. Now we begin our journey through the Dark Universe. Your His Highness An, it will take approximately six months to reach Demon Mountain. During this time, please arrange your time as you see fit." The man in the black uniform with gold thread on his sleeves, who was leading the group, smiled.

"Will it really take half a year?"

"Of course, Your Highness, this Demon Mountain is located within the Primordial Secret Realm of my Virtual Universe Company. The distance between the Original Secret Realm and the Primordial Secret Realm is not short!" the uniformed man explained.

" Within the Original Secret Realm, were all those who chose to undertake the Demon Mountain Mission transported to Demon Mountain by you?" Lu Yan'an suddenly asked.

"Yes, I pick up all the Universe Level members in the Original Secret Realm who are heading to Demon Mountain." The uniformed man replied with a smile.

"Did anyone carry out the Demon Mountain Mission in that Original Secret Realm during this period?" Lu Yan'an continued to ask.

"During this period of time, no one else has chosen the Demon Mountain Mission except you! For at least the last thousand years, you are the only prince in the Original Secret Realm to have chosen to undertake the Demon Mountain Mission!" the uniformed man replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. Was the Demon Mountain Mission really that unpopular?

However, he stopped thinking about it and returned to his rest pod to begin comprehending the laws.
