Great Xia's Mountains and Rivers Remain Unharmed—How Could It Lack Those Who Dare to Die?

Great Xia's Mountains and Rivers Remain Unharmed—How Could It Lack Those Who Dare to Die?

You met with the top brass of the Great Xia Military!

Su Xing was somewhat excited. In his previous simulation, he had reported to the higher-ups that Giant Beasts would attack Great Xia, but the matter had been suppressed.

That was simply because, although he had been worth tens of billions at the time, he was ultimately just an ordinary person with strength far too low.

But in this simulation, the Grain Abstinence Pills Su Xing refined were of great significance to Great Xia, giving him this rare opportunity.

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

The military leader who met with you was an old man. To your surprise, you had seen him on the news before. His name was Lu Yuanwu, and he was a Martial Emperor Level Expert!

The leader warmly received you and asked how many Grain Abstinence Pills you could refine in a day.

Your alchemy skills had grown increasingly proficient over the years. For a lowest-grade pill like the Grain Abstinence Pill, you were confident that you could refine fifty a day.

After hearing that number, the leader frowned slightly. He said the quantity was still too low and asked you for the method of refining Grain Abstinence Pills. He also promised that as long as you were willing to provide the formula, he could fulfill any request you had.

You did not hesitate and directly handed over the Grain Abstinence Pill formula, because you knew that only you could refine them. Not to mention that Spirit Rice was something rarely found in the mortal world, even if you provided the Spirit Rice, ordinary people had no Li Fire Technique and simply could not refine the pills.

Sure enough, several days later, Lu Yuanwu came to see you again. He told you to focus on refining Grain Abstinence Pills, since the people he had arranged could not refine this type of pill at all.

You made your request. You wanted to enter the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon and see it for yourself.

Lu Yuanwu hesitated upon hearing this. He said the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon was far too dangerous, and with your strength, you would certainly die there.

But at your insistence, Lu Yuanwu ultimately agreed. However, he required you not to go to the front lines. You could only refine pills in the safe zone within Demon Suppressing Pass, and he assigned three Grandmaster Level Experts and one Heavenly King Level Expert to protect you personally.

The next day, you followed a group of Professionals into Demon Suppressing Pass.

You found the Professionals around you somewhat familiar. After asking carefully, you were surprised to discover that many of them were graduates of Kyoto Vocational University, and quite a few were even teachers there.

Su Xing nodded at this. According to his future path in the Simulator, he would still spend another five or six years at Kyoto Vocational University. All told, he would remain there for over a decade.

In those ten-odd years, he would surely come into contact with quite a few junior students.

And thirteen years later, those juniors had likely mostly become Master Level, Grandmaster Level, or even higher-level experts.

After making inquiries, you learned that the situation at Demon Suppressing Pass had worsened in recent years. Not only did Professionals above the Grandmaster Level need to enter Demon Suppressing Pass, even Master Level Professionals had annual assignments there.

You stepped into the Demon Suppressing Pass Dungeon. Everything there seemed no different from the Real World.

The only difference was a massive transparent dome in the sky. This miraculous dome covered the entirety of Demon Suppressing Pass.

You discovered that there were no ordinary people in Demon Suppressing Pass. Other than you, even the weakest possessed Master Level strength or above.

You were placed in the rear of Demon Suppressing Pass, in an inconspicuous Small Courtyard. Lu Yuanwu lived next door, and a Heavenly King Level Expert personally protected you.

You were not permitted to go to the front lines. Instead, you refined pills in the courtyard every day, and the vast majority of your requests were met.

You devoted yourself to refining Grain Abstinence Pills, maintaining an output of fifty pills a day.

Half a year passed quickly. Through your continuous efforts at improvement, your speed of refining Grain Abstinence Pills further increased, and you could refine sixty Grain Abstinence Pills a day.

All the Grain Abstinence Pills you refined each day were sent to the front lines, but Lu Yuanwu said that this amount was still a mere drop in the bucket for all the soldiers there.

You were displeased. You felt that you were already refining pills with everything you had, yet you still could not satisfy the military's demands. It seemed you had become a cold, emotionless pill-refining tool.

One night, while no one around was paying attention, you quietly made your way toward the walls of Demon Suppressing Pass.

The city you were in was called the City of Terminus. It was roughly the size of Kyoto City. Demon Suppressing Pass lay to the north, while the place where you had previously stayed was in the south.

So, under cover of darkness, you hurried north. The farther north you went, the fewer pedestrians you saw. Even the occasional passerby looked hurried, clad in armor and carrying weapons.

You moved quickly and arrived beneath Demon Suppressing Pass half an hour later. Looking at the majestic city before you, you were stunned for the first time.

Perhaps this was no longer a city in the conventional sense, because its walls rose thousands of zhang high. Standing beneath them and looking up, you could not see the end at a glance.

You blended into a group of Professionals heading up the wall and climbed onto the battlements of Demon Suppressing Pass.

Along the way, you saw many dying and severely wounded Professionals being carried down. Support Class Professionals such as priests and healers continuously poured Healing Potions into their mouths, but most of the Professionals still could not be saved.

You finally climbed onto the walls of Demon Suppressing Pass. They were far, far wider than you had imagined, over a hundred zhang across—more like a vast plaza.

Many Professionals bustled about atop the walls. At times, cannon fire thundered in your ears; at others, cries for help rang out.

You saw dazzling spells crashing beyond the pass like fireworks, and countless modern missiles and weapons roaring madly as well.

You forced yourself to calm down and slowly approached the edge of the wall.

You saw a sight you would never forget. Across the boundless wilderness in the distance, countless ant-like specks lay scattered everywhere. They were the corpses of human Professionals.

And across that wilderness were countless hideous, bizarre Giant Beasts. The tallest of them stood a thousand meters high, while even the smaller ones were dozens of meters tall.

The Momentum of those Giant Beasts affected you so deeply that you could barely remain standing.

Then you saw a somewhat older Professional roar in fury and lead dozens of Professionals in leaping down from Demon Suppressing Pass.

You understood that they were Using Their Own lives to stop the Giant Beasts from breaking through Demon Suppressing Pass.

As expected, merely dozens of Grandmaster Level Professionals could not stop those terrifying Giant Beasts.

But more and more Professionals leaped down from the city walls to fight with their lives on the line. Grandmaster Level and even Heavenly King Level Professionals were among them... After hundreds of Professional lives were piled into the battle, the Giant Beasts' offensive was temporarily halted.

You were utterly shaken. For the past half year, you had focused solely on refining pills, but only now did you learn the true face of Demon Suppressing Pass.

At that moment, a figure appeared behind you. It was Lu Yuanwu. He sighed softly, patted your shoulder, and spoke words you would never forget.

He said, "Great Xia's mountains and rivers remain unharmed—how could it lack those who dare to die?"
