This can be said to be a world of Gods' Hegemony, and naturally, it's quite dangerous to be in this world right now. Even if she doesn't provoke anyone, future calamities will still drag her into the vortex.

For example, those World-Ending Calamities...

Although she survived them safely in the original plot, this isn't a comic anymore, it's the real world... anything could happen, so improving her strength is essential, otherwise, it would be really difficult to get through those 10 years.

Continuing on, besides the main quests, there are also quite a few selectable Bounty Missions that can be accepted. The rewards are mainly Crystals, Gold Coins, materials, and Experience Chips.

Without being able to recharge and pay to win, these quest rewards become exceptionally important if one wants to increase character levels and strength.

Chapter 4: Bounty Target

"As expected, free things are the most expensive."

Looking at the selectable side quests below the main quest, especially the rewards section, made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

Crystals that could have been obtained for tens or hundreds of dollars now required completing various tasks of different difficulties.

Failing a quest doesn't have any punishment, it won't result in immediate elimination or anything like that. But some quests, if failed, mean instant death!

Bounty Missions are roughly divided into two types: Challenge and Collection Bounties.

The difficulty levels from highest to lowest are SSS+, SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D, a total of seven levels. However, even for bounties of the same difficulty level, there's a certain gap in rewards; the harder the quest, the higher the reward.

Among them, the highest-level bounties accepted are these.

[SSS+ Rank Mission: Slay/Subdue the Three Evil Gods of the exe World!]

[Quest Reward: 50,000 Crystals]

[SSS Rank Mission: Slay/Subdue Great Red.]

[Quest Reward: 30,000 Crystals]

[SSS Rank Mission: Slay/Subdue Infinite Dragon God.]

[Quest Reward: 25,000 Crystals]

"This is too much! The exe Evil Gods, the Two Dragon Gods..."

Can she even deal with them now?

Even with a max-level Moonlit Oath: Devotion, it's hard to say if she could successfully slay these beings!

The Two Dragon Gods are the strongest two in the DxD World, possessing infinite power according to their settings, surpassing even God 777.

Although their portrayal in the anime was unsatisfactory...

Even the most powerful Great Red was directly slain by an invading exe Evil God.

To slay such beings, one would at least need to be a relatively powerful Herrscher, or perhaps have powerful characters from Star Rail come.

Fortunately, the main quest doesn't require her to deal with these guys, so she doesn't have to face them for now. It's not too late to challenge them after she becomes much stronger.

And setting aside these exceptional beings, the other bounty missions become much more reasonable. Even the Transcenders of the second tier are not impossible for her to slay.

Compared to Challenge missions, Collection missions are simpler.

They mainly involve collecting unique artifacts from this world.

Among them, Sacred Gear have the highest value.

Furthermore, upon collecting all the Sacred Gear, one can receive a large amount of Crystals as an additional reward. Besides that, part of the reward is for collection, and unwanted artifacts can be recycled into Crystals.

This means one artifact can yield rewards twice: once as a bounty collection reward, and again if completely sold to the system.

Compared to slay-and-challenge bounties, they are more valuable.

Crystals are extremely important. To level up Valkyries, one must purchase Expansion Supply Cards with Crystals to draw character fragments frantically.

It takes quite a few fragments to upgrade from S-rank to SSS-rank.

Some unlucky Captains can't even successfully graduate an initial S-rank Valkyrie even with 100,000 Crystals.

If possible, she doesn't want to miss any of the artifacts or Divine Key Maidens.

Ideally, she'd get her hands on all ten-plus Sacred Gear.

But for now, she'll start by accepting some simpler bounty missions.

There's a limit to the number of bounty missions that can be accepted simultaneously, only three. If all three missions are not completed, she can't even accept other bounty missions.

[D-Rank Mission: Collect any Artificial Artifacts.]

[D-Rank Mission: Slay any Newborn Demons.]

[D-Rank Mission: Slay any Lost Priests...]

[C-Rank Mission: Collect the Common Artifact "Dragon's Hand."]

[C-Rank Mission: Slay Lesser Demons.]

"Uh, Higher Demons, Highest Demons, and Quasi-Demon Kings are all A-rank difficulty bounties?"

Looking at the bounty list, she couldn't quite understand the classification; bounties of the same rank had vastly different difficulties.

It seemed only targets at the Demon King Class rank could appear on S-rank bounties, not even Quasi-Demon Kings.

As for SS-rank bounties, the minimum requirement was a King of Pantheon, or even a Transcender.

In comparison, for collection tasks that were also SS-rank bounties, the Three Great Upper Divine Keys were all listed. The difficulty of collecting all Divine Keys even reached SSS-rank.

Wasn't this just tempting people to steal these Divine Keys?

Closing the mission interface, the more she looked, the more conflicted she became.

D-rank missions only rewarded a single-digit number of Crystals, at most 30. C-rank mission rewards also mostly didn't exceed double digits.

Those that could give 100 Crystals were extremely rare, practically pocket change.

Only missions ranked A or above had decent rewards.

And that was it.

Before, she could easily spend several 648 yuan top-ups each month on her allowance, but now it was so difficult.

The girl sighed, not rushing to do missions. The priority now was to understand the situation of this world before making any plans.

Also, she needed to get used to her Moonlit Wife's body...

Although she had cross-dressed at anime conventions before, actually becoming a girl felt strange for the moment.

This was completely different from that situation back then.

"...So much power."

Looking at the wall in front of her, feeling the immense power of this body, the girl tried punching it. The next second, the wall simply exploded.

This made the girl's crimson eyes widen considerably, looking exceptionally cute.

She never expected her strength to be this great, even though she was only Level 1.

The seemingly delicate and weak girl possessed the power of an Ancient Evil Beast within. That's right! She was Theresa, and a Vampire!

How could she be like an ordinary girl?

"That made a bit too much noise, I should leave here!"

Glancing up at the sky, the blood moon had disappeared, and only the surrounding bats were increasing.

The girl seemed to be able to sense the state of these bats, even command them. Raising her right hand, a bat the size of a basketball with its wings spread flew from above into the girl's hand, appearing incredibly obedient.

And the bats that ordinary people found terrifying didn't seem scary to the girl at this moment.

In the game, Moonlit Oath·Give Love to the Heart always appeared as a bat transformation, and she was never short of bats around her.

"Disperse! Become my eyes."

The girl said softly.

The surrounding bats immediately scattered in all directions, and miraculously, the girl could vaguely sense the surroundings through them.

This was good; with this method, detection would undoubtedly be much more convenient.

She just had to be careful not to be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

Speaking of which, vampires weren't viewed favorably by many, leaning more towards... demons!

Chapter 5: Missing That Human...

As the lamps lit up, the city began to glow, becoming lively and vibrant.

Bustling crowds gathered on the streets, holding hot drinks, dressed in festive attire, chatting and laughing, or hurrying to their next destination.

The lights of cafes, bars, restaurants, and cinemas flickered in the night, like scattered, dreamlike lights.

Especially in the bustling commercial district, the neon lights were colorful, illuminating every inch of the streets and buildings.

Shop windows displayed the latest fashions, attracting the attention of passersby. The windows of tall buildings reflected the city lights, as if telling the stories of this city.

By the park lake, people strolled leisurely, or sat on benches admiring the reflections on the water. In some alleys, you could hear the laughter and playful shouts of children, their best enjoyment of the night.

And at this moment, the beautiful vampire Miss Moonlit... Moonlit Oath was strolling through the streets.

Nighttime was when vampires were active.

At this time, Miss Theresa, the great Moonlit, naturally wouldn't sleep early; instead, she was incredibly energetic. However, unlike traditional vampires, although Miss Theresa didn't particularly like the sun, she wasn't afraid of it.

She could still live under the sun, it's just... she instinctively disliked sunlight.

But if she were with that human, none of that would be a problem; only deep happiness would remain.

It's just that now, the Captain had become Moonlit.

"So many... humans..."

Theresa's beautiful crimson eyes scanned her surroundings. In the eyes of a vampire... humans were undoubtedly food. She craved blood, but the girl was not of that kind.

Unlike vampires who can only subsist on blood, she, with the Moonlit Oath, can also savor the deliciousness of other foods.

This is great!

After all, exquisite food is one of life's greatest pursuits and cannot be overlooked. It would be truly agonizing to be unable to taste delicious food ever again.

Upon spotting a shop selling ice cream, Miss Theresa Moonlit couldn't help but walk over.

Theresa, as a vampire, is different from that legal loli who only loves bitter gourd juice; her favorite... should be everything she experienced with the Captain.

Restaurants, amusement parks, the seaside, arcades, Ferris wheels...

Deeply etched in her mind, unforgettable.

"Strange... why am I thinking about these things..."

The girl shook her head, wondering why those scenes kept involuntarily appearing in her mind.

She misses that human...

But she herself is his Captain.

"Damn Ai-chan, you never mentioned that controlling a Valkyrie's body would also affect one's own body!"

No matter how much she badmouthed Ai-chan, the latter completely stopped responding.

No more overthinking, as it's useless anyway. Miss Moonlit looked at the shop owner in front of her, staring at the ice cream making machine.

She spoke subconsciously...

"Human, I want an ice cream."

Uh
