The World of Demons(1): Regret

When the experienced rescue workers arrived at the scene and saw the deformed vehicle, they couldn’t help but shake their heads in their hearts. The car was deformed like this, and the people inside were very likely to have met with an accident.

When the rescuers carefully forced open the car door, they found a large human-shaped object inside the car. It was the driver, whose entire body was wrapped in a thin layer of inflatable membrane and was still shaking slightly.

The rescuer lifted a large inflatable membrane out of the car with a surprised look on his face, turned it over, and then met the driver’s eyes, whose face was exposed in the transparent part in front of him.

Rescuer: …

Driver: …

“Brother, thank you for saving me! Please help me call my daughter. I didn’t read the instructions carefully and don’t know how to take this thing back.”

The driver shouted loudly, fearing that the rescuers could not hear him through the inflatable membrane.

But just as he finished speaking, the inflatable membrane on his body deflated with a “hiss” and slipped off from his body by itself, folding up and finally shrinking into a square box, staying quietly beside the driver.

The driver, who was protected by the inflatable membrane and was unharmed in the car accident, and the rescuer, who was full of surprise, looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, the rescuer finally found his voice and asked anxiously:

“Hey, what’s this on you?”

The driver smiled awkwardly, quickly reached out and picked up the square box beside him and held it tightly in his arms, then shared:

“This is a little nurse robot that my daughter bought for me. Hey, I said before that children spend money recklessly, but now I see that young people really know a lot. This thing is really powerful. It wrapped me up in a flash. Now I don’t feel any pain anywhere on my body. Hehe, it doesn’t hurt anywhere.”

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Rescuer: …

Although the brief news report ended quickly, the rescue workers at the scene, the reporters who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, the passers-by watching nearby, and the audience who saw the news all noticed the square box in the driver’s arms and followed the trail. The sales of the little nurse robot in the online store gradually increased.

Professional rescuers in particular were most impressed by the powerful functions of Little Nurse No. 1.

As more and more people actually use Little Nurse No. 1, various feedbacks had naturally increased.

Although accidents didn’t happen every day, whenever an accident occurred, users who were protected by the little nurse and were safe and sound would automatically become little nurse fans and leave messages praising the little nurse to their friends and family and on various social platforms.

As professional medical staff became aware of the powerful effects of the Little Nurse robot, sales of the Little Nurse really exploded, gradually spreading from medical staff to patients with various chronic diseases. Then, with their feedback on its use, the Little Nurse No. 1 robot truly entered the eyes and homes of the general public.

In just two months, the Little Nurse No. 1 robot grew from an initial weekly sales of three units to more than 10,000 units.

The Little Nurse No. 1 robot was a high-tech product, and the most valuable thing about it was the technology it contained. But for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had experienced many high-tech mission worlds and brought back a large amount of theoretical and technical data each time, technology was not a problem at all and did not require huge scientific research investment.

Therefore, the real cost of their products was the hardware cost. The selling price they set was three times the hardware cost, which was enough for them to make a lot of money and significantly increase the salaries of researchers.

Of course, sales matters had nothing to do with Xia Ruize. Xia Ruize had already led researchers to develop new products.

Because all the data were checked by Xia Ruize himself, with the support of strong mental strength, Xia Ruize unknowingly taught himself to become an academic big shot, more professional than professional researchers, and in overall control of the entire research process.

When Xia Ruize received the reminder of a new mission again, he immediately dropped the experiment he was conducting and returned home. He happened to meet Cheng Huaiqian who had also rushed back. The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

This would be their third Silver Page Area mission. According to convention, if this mission world could also be completed smoothly, they would be eligible to advance to the Gold Book Area.

But Lao Shi said that the number of trialers in the Golden Book Area was very small, and there might be some special troubles waiting for them ahead, so they had to be cautious.

They locked the door and lay side by side on the bed. Cheng Huaiqian held his lover’s hand and Xia Ruize held it back.

Fortunately, no matter what happened, they would face it together, and suddenly they felt empowered.

The mission started on time, and when Xia Ruize opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim underground passage. Only the faint light from the candles on the walls on both sides illuminated the dim passage.

In the narrow passage, a group of young people were queuing quietly.

In front of Xia Ruize was Cheng Huaiqian, and behind him was Gao Hexuan. The three of them were thrown together, exchanged glances, and immediately felt much more at ease.

Xia Ruize observed the surrounding environment calmly. The dim tunnel should have ventilation holes. A gentle breeze blew past him, keeping the temperature and humidity in the tunnel at a suitable level.

Although there were many people queuing, for some unknown reason, everyone was very careful and cautious, so the surroundings were very quiet.

Xia Ruize released his mental power and found that their team was very long, with people stretching out to the limit. At this moment, Xia Ruize felt a strong aura at the boundary of the mental power detection area, and he immediately withdrew his mental power.

A powerful aura spread out, spreading throughout the entire underground passage, and soon passed over Xia Ruize and the other two.

Xia Ruize immediately understood that there were powerful individuals in this mission world, and they were not far away. The three of them immediately became more cautious in their actions.

The good news was that those lining up all looked young, and there were always some who couldn’t help but whisper a few words, which also allowed Xia Ruize and the other two to learn some information from the chat.

“I sincerely pray to God to bless me to pass the divine selection and become a magic apprentice! This is the hope of our whole family!”

“As long as one’s mental strength reaches medium or one’s affinity for a certain magical element reaches medium, one can pass the divine screening. I must pass it!”

“I heard that life will be completely different after becoming a magic apprentice. I’m really looking forward to it!”

…..

The chat revealed very little, all pointing to the same keyword: “magic”.

It seemed like they had come to a magical world.

Although the line was long, it was moving at a fast pace. After the three of them waited patiently for an hour, it was finally their turn.

The end of the queue could be seen in front. After a long upward staircase, the young people in the queue would enter a wide and tall stone hall. There were four high platforms similar to rings in the hall, and people wearing gray and blue robes were standing around the platforms.

At the deepest part of the hall, there was a podium, on which sat a man in a black robe with silver edges. He just sat on the podium, his eyes casually scanning the hall, and the hundreds of people in the hall did not dare to act presumptuously.

Only then did Xia Ruize see that the four platforms corresponded to four long teams of young people. The young people at the front of the team would stand on the platform under the command of staff in gray robes.

The young people standing on the platform only needed to stand there for a dozen seconds and did not need to do anything else. If a warm yellow light appeared around the platform, they would be kept by the gray-robed man. If there was no reaction from the platform, they would have to leave the hall.

The young people who were left behind all had happy expressions on their faces. Correspondingly, those who were signaled to leave by the gray-robed man had disappointed faces and were reluctant to leave. However, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and serious. Even if those who were asked to leave were aggrieved to the point of crying, they did not dare to disobey the rules.

Only a small number of people pass the screening, one out of ten was lucky, and most people were unable to make the podium light up and could only leave with regret.

This process, which seemed to be called “divine screening”, proceeded quietly and quickly, and soon it was the turn of Cheng Huaiqian and the other two.

Cheng Huaiqian was the first to walk onto the platform. Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan both focused their attention on the platform that was one meter high and three meters in diameter. After more than ten seconds, a bright warm yellow light lit up around the platform.

The gray-robed man beside the platform motioned Cheng Huaiqian to go to the side of the hall and wait for a moment. The man in the blue robe who had been watching without moving beside the platform smiled at Cheng Huaiqian who had passed the screening.

After Xia Ruize and Gao Hexuan, who were following closely behind Cheng Huaiqian, walked onto the platform one after another, the platform also lit up with a bright warm yellow light.

Three people passed the divine selection in succession. Not only did the other young people behind them cast envious glances at them, but even the black-robed man sitting steadily on the rostrum cast a concerned look at them.

Xia Ruize and the other two who were arranged to wait at one side of the hall finally received the mission reminder:

[Budenbass is wailing in pain. The war that has been burning for years will eventually burn the continent to ashes.

Main mission: 1. Pass the magic apprentice trial 2. Kill 5 Demon soldiers

Mission completed: reward 4,000 survival points

Mission failed: deduct 2,000 survival points

Special reminder: This mission can be rejected. Please confirm whether to reject this mission within 30 seconds… Yes/No?]

As soon as he saw the mission prompt, Cheng Huaiqian couldn’t help but let out a sigh. The mission required killing the “demon soldiers” and he had heard people mention “magic” many times before. It seemed that this world had nothing to do with technology. Then the [all-round mecha] that he had just redeemed for more than 10,000 survival points would be useless in this world.

The mecha from the previous world made Cheng Huaiqian appreciate the beauty of technology and power. He did not take the mecha away from the human camp, but bought a silver-colored low-grade all-round mecha from the Lord god. He was looking forward to driving it to wreak havoc on everyone, but ended up encountering a mission world that was difficult to use. It was really depressing.

However, the main mission of this mission world was a bit unique. It was a rare mission that did not require survival time. Although it was a little depressing, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize decided to stay and carry out the mission after a quick discussion.

As for Gao Hexuan, of course he would follow whatever the boss chooses. It was always right to follow the boss’ teammates.

After accepting the mission, the three of them and a dozen young people who had passed the divine selection and were waiting nearby were led out of the hall by a man in a gray robe.
