Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 8 The Tyrannical Demon
After the shop door was closed.

The shop, having lost natural light, did not fall into darkness.

The magic lamps on the wall sensed the darkness and lit up one by one, casting a bright yellow hue over the room.

Arriving at the back door, Lin Hanchuan took one last look around the potions in the shop. The thought that they would all be his later filled him with excitement.

Stepping out of the back door of the shop, there is a deep and secluded corridor that connects to the warehouse. The young female shop assistant walks in front, and Lin Hanchuan follows behind.

Generally speaking, shops will set up hidden traps in these corridors during the initial construction to prevent people from sneaking into the warehouse through the corridors.

However, thanks to the young female shop assistant's guidance, no traps were triggered this time. But judging from her walking posture, which sometimes veered left and right, sometimes jumped and sometimes hugged the wall, she should have trap detection abilities similar to those of hunters and thieves.

Lin Hanchuan followed behind her, and as long as he followed her route, there would be no problem.

The length of the corridor was a bit beyond Lin Hanchuan's expectations, at over thirty meters long, and it sloped down to the underground.

At the end of the corridor was a warehouse illuminated entirely by high-quality fluorescent stones. As soon as Lin Hanchuan entered, he saw the store manager rummaging through the storage boxes.

A storage box is a storage item similar to a spatial ring.

Although it is much larger than a space ring and inconvenient to carry, the internal storage compartments and the volume of items that each compartment can hold far exceed those of a space ring.

"Boss, still haven't found it?" Lin Hanchuan asked, his gaze sweeping over the warehouse once more.

This apothecary is the only one in starting village #56, meaning it supplies potions to all new players in the entire village.

The medicines displayed in the storefront are only a small part of his; most of them are in the dozen or so storage boxes in front of him.

Wow, we've really struck it rich!

call! !

Lin Hanchuan secretly exhaled, suppressing his impulse.

The store manager turned around and saw Lin Hanchuan. He replied, "The warehouse is a bit messy, and I haven't been sleeping well lately, so my memory is a bit off. I couldn't remember where I put the Agility Potion for a moment."

He then looked up and glanced at the young female shop assistant.

His eyes were filled with anger.

This is a warehouse. Lin Hanchuan was able to get here easily without her guidance.

But since they've already arrived, there's not much more to say.

After Lin Hanchuan leaves, I'll have to teach her a good lesson.

The young female shop assistant immediately lowered her head.

Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly, "It's alright, take your time looking, no rush!"

"Okay! Okay!" The store manager turned around, opened the storage box, and buried himself in searching.

At this moment, the young shop assistant slightly raised her head, glanced at Lin Hanchuan, and raised her eyebrows, signaling to Lin Hanchuan that he could make his move.

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and pointed lightly at the storage box, indicating that there was no rush.

The Agility Potion and Intelligence Potion have not yet arrived.

It's not too late to take action after you've got it in your hands.

The young female shop assistant remained silent.

She also knew that the chances of success would be greater once she got the medicine.

In the small warehouse, Lin Hanchuan and the young female shop assistant stood at the door, while the shop manager rummaged through the storage boxes, searching for medicine.

Five minutes passed.

The store manager took out a bottle of medicine and said excitedly.

"Found it, it's a basic agility potion!"

"Here you go, there's one bottle of basic intelligence potion left!"

After handing it to Lin Hanchuan, the store manager continued rummaging through the drawers and cabinets.

This time it was quick; it was found in less than two minutes.

"A basic intelligence potion, take a look."

The store manager handed the medicine to Lin Hanchuan, "If there are no problems, let's go upstairs!"

Lin Hanchuan took the basic intelligence potion, glanced at the information, and nodded, "No problem! We can get started!"

Before the shopkeeper could even react, Lin Hanchuan had already retreated. With 12 points of agility, he was out of the room in less than half a second, and without hesitation, he threw the [Identification Potion] at the shopkeeper.

Even though it's been confirmed that the shopkeeper is the demon, throwing away the [Identification Potion] would be a complete waste of gold coins, but there's a young female shop assistant watching right now.

There are still some steps that need to be done.

The moment the demon-identifying potion landed on the shopkeeper, it exploded. The female shop assistant, who was standing still, subconsciously took two steps back and saw a thick cloud of black smoke rising from the shopkeeper's body.

The fact that the store manager is a devil has been confirmed!

However, identifying the potion can only determine whether the other party is a demon; it cannot forcibly tear off the other party's disguise.

The shopkeeper, still in human form, looked down at the black smoke rising from his body, patted it off, shrugged, and then looked up at Lin Hanchuan, saying calmly but helplessly, "Sir, this prank of yours is really pointless. But considering you've bought quite a few things from my shop, I'll let it go this time." "Oh, really?" Lin Hanchuan smiled.

The composure this guy is showing is far greater than that of the ogre disguised as a black-bearded old man.

If I hadn't known that I had just used a demon-identifying potion and its specific effects, I might have already been fooled by the other party's nonchalant words.

"Let's go! We'll talk about it upstairs!" The store manager acted completely nonchalantly, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, and was about to walk towards the warehouse door.

But the young female shop assistant stood in front of him.

With tears streaming down her face, the young shop assistant's sorrowful voice echoed through the warehouse, "Give my father back!"

"Huh?!" This time, the store manager looked at the young female employee with a shocked expression, not understanding what kind of act this girl was putting on. However, he reacted quickly and reassured her, "Daughter, look closely, I am your father!"

The young female shop assistant did not respond.

He simply pulled a token from his pocket.

The token was about the size of a palm, with intricate inscriptions and patterns engraved on its surface. Lin Hanchuan knew at a glance that it was a formation token.

The store manager's expression changed instantly, and he reached out to grab the young female employee, angrily shouting.

"you……"

Before she could even speak, the young shop assistant gripped the token tightly, her long, sharp fingernails piercing through it instantly.

Click! !
The moment the array shattered, the white light droplets that dripped from the token ignited the ordinary warehouse like flames.

Countless, densely packed red threads emerged from the walls, ceiling, and floor.

The threads converged, shrinking rapidly like a prison cage, drawing closer to the shopkeeper.

The young shop assistant stepped back and walked undisturbed through the red light to the warehouse door. The shop manager inside wanted to follow, but the moment he touched the light, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, his body trembling and then stiffening briefly.

After the stiffening effect ended, the shop manager stared at the red threads retracting from all directions. At this moment, he understood what the young shop assistant was thinking. His bloodshot eyes widened, and his face, which was filled with anger, slowly turned black. "Damn it, how dare you attack me? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"You will..."

Before the shop manager could finish speaking, the young female shop assistant crushed the array token in her hand. The red threads contracted faster and faster, binding the shop manager tightly in the blink of an eye.

The negative effects released by the silk threads caused it to fall into a state of continuous rigidity.

"did not expect……"

The young shop assistant patted her chest, then looked at Lin Hanchuan with tears in her eyes, "I never imagined that my father had been replaced by a demon, my poor father!"

"Kill him! Avenge my father!"

The young female shop assistant looked up at Lin Hanchuan and pleaded.

"I beg you!"

"I'm willing to give you 10 gold coins as a reward!"

“I would have done it even without you telling me!” Lin Hanchuan pointed his staff at the shopkeeper. “In this life, I hate demons more than anything.”

The store manager, frozen in place, stared at the young female employee standing next to Lin Hanchuan, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, his expression filled with rage.

He seemed to want to say something, but his body remained frozen, and he couldn't utter a sound.

He could only watch helplessly as the human mage waved his staff, unleashing small fireballs that hurtled towards him.

dish!
This human mage is really bad!
It takes about two seconds to release a small fireball.

Without any constraints, a novice mage like this could be easily killed.

But now, he can only let the fireballs fall on him, feeling his life slip away.

Of course, compared to the physical pain he was in, what angered him even more was being betrayed by his own kind!
A few minutes later!

boom! !

When the shopkeeper's last bit of health was depleted, he revealed his true form as a tyrannical demon, collapsing to the ground as a corpse, and the system notification sounded.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Level 5 Elite Tyrannical Demon, gaining 200 base experience points. This is the first kill, so an additional 200 experience points are awarded. Killing a monster two levels higher grants an additional 40 experience points!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully leveled up to level 4. Your base attributes have increased by 2, and you have gained 4 free attribute points!"

"Ding! Successfully killed a demon disguised as a villager during the investigation. Congratulations, you have gained 1 point of Freedom Attribute!"

The system notification indicated that the considerable experience points from the Level 5 Elite Tyrant Demon had easily brought him to Level 4.

Looking at the young female shop assistant whose expression couldn't hide her joy, Lin Hanchuan silently divided the 5 points of free attribute on the panel into two parts.

Add 2 points to Agility to increase attack speed.

Allocate 3 points to Intelligence, and also increase spell attack power.

"Thank you so much!" The young shop assistant seemed to have just come to her senses, and thanked Lin Hanchuan with tears in her eyes. "Thank you for helping me get revenge. I will pay you 10 gold coins as a reward when we get back to the shop."

"No rush!" Lin Hanchuan stepped back, keeping his distance from the young female shop assistant, and chuckled, "I'll get it myself later."
