Chapter 26: 26. Any system without in-game purchases is garbage
Scorching flames burst from the mouth of the demon fox before it could sever Fang Zhou's arm, the explosive force shattering its brain upwards and piercing its lungs downwards through its throat.
Flames shot out from its mouth, nostrils, and ears, turning the fox's head into a burning torch.
After releasing the Fireball Technique, Fang Zhou hurriedly pulled his arm out, but was not faster than the explosion's force, leaving his forearm bloodied and completely numb.
The demon fox's huge body fell backwards with a bang, emitting blue smoke, transforming into a giant fox almost the size of an adult, its head still burning with flames.
Fang Zhou also fell to the ground, his body injuries and spirit exhaustion causing him to feel dizzy, almost passing out.
From the beginning of the fight with the two female fox spirits until now, Fang Zhou had released six Illusion Techniques, three Fireball Techniques, and controlled Hu Lai's left hand, fully exhausting his spirit, and this last Fireball Technique was released with his last ounce of strength.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
The injuries from the explosion were serious, adding to his spirit exhaustion, Fang Zhou now solely relied on his 8 points of constitution to persevere, if another fox demon came, it could easily kill him.
Fang Zhou sat on the ground panting, taking the opportunity to glance at the successful mission prompt.
[Successfully killed the man-eating demon fox]
[Reward: Masculinity*8, Purple Card*1]
[Completed the side quest - Demon Extermination]
[Reward: Righteous Reputation +1]
This time the task had a new variation, a side quest - Demon Extermination, which also rewarded 1 point of Righteous Reputation, but what is this for?
Fang Zhou opened the system panel and found a new Righteous Reputation at the bottom, along with a detailed description.
[Righteous Reputation: The data will affect your status within the Righteous Camp. If negative, you will be automatically added to the Evil Cult Camp]
Clearly, this was a reputation value, the higher the data, the higher your status in the Righteous Camp. This status probably isn't about actual identity but the type that makes others immediately see you as a man of integrity, a chivalrous character, gaining their closeness and trust easily.
If the reputation value becomes negative, no matter how noble you look, others will see you as a conniving scoundrel, a shameless demon.
This reputation value might seem useless, but if used well, it could be quite advantageous; for example, accumulating high reputation by completing tasks and then committing misdeeds, people would not suspect you, and even if discovered, they would think you had hardships, gaining forgiveness easily.
If the reputation value is negative, then that's perfect for undercover work; you wouldn't be easily exposed no matter how you act.
Of course, that's the gameplay in games, it might not work the same in reality, Fang Zhou could set it aside for now and figure out its specific use later.
This was his first difficult task, much more challenging than before, slightly careless and he would have ended up a mangled corpse, if not for the last minute save with the Fireball Technique, Fang Zhou today would either turn the tables or crash.
But the reward was also extremely generous, a full 8 points of Masculinity, and most importantly, a Purple Card.
Now this Purple Card was spinning in Fang Zhou's mind.
This was the first time Fang Zhou had obtained a Purple Card, unfortunately, he was too injured now and had no interest in chanting spells, he chose to draw the card directly, since a Purple Card was definitely a good thing.
The purple card spun rapidly, dazzling rainbow-like light spreading from beneath the card, stunningly beautiful.
As expected of a Purple Card, even the card-drawing effect was more than cheap.
After spinning to the limit, the glowing Purple Card finally exploded, countless light particles converging together, forming a Longsword.
[Evil Slaying Sword: A sword imbued with Evil Qi capable of causing damage to demons and evil spirits]
It turned out to be an Equipment Card, Fang Zhou had completed many tasks, always drawing skills and items, this was the first time he had drawn equipment.
And his weapon had just broken, to draw a weapon now was like finding a pillow when sleepy.
I truly am the author's favored son, psh, I'm truly a king of luck!
A longsword appeared out of thin air in Fang Zhou's hands, resembling a Han Sword in shape but much heavier than the damaged one, without a scabbard and with faint red patterns on the blade, resembling talismans.
Fortunately, this sword is called the Evil Slaying Sword, if it were called something else, Fang Zhou would rather use it as a fire stick than wield it.
After resting for a while, Fang Zhou used the Evil Slaying Sword to prop himself up and slowly stood up from the ground.
"What?! What is this?"
Just as Fang Zhou was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something inside the head of the demon fox's charred corpse.
He used the Evil Slaying Sword to pry open the demon fox's head and picked out a slick black orb. After picking it up, it felt cool to the touch, composed of a material that wasn't metallic or wooden, unharmed despite the fire and still very cold.
Fang Zhou couldn't figure out what it was; could it be the so-called demon core? But the demon fox didn't seem that powerful either.
He'd better ask Ling Xiaoyue—if only the system could help identify it.
Just as this thought surfaced in Fang Zhou's mind, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Illusion-Repelling Orb: A rare demon brain calculus, provides immunity to low-level Spirit Magic]
Ssss~
Fang Zhou gasped in surprise; the system actually had an identification function; it truly was terrifying.
"Hey, do you have an Alchemy function?"
"What about the store? Does it have a store?"
"There has to be a microtransaction feature, right? Without even that, you're not a qualified system, trash!"
No matter how Fang Zhou tried, the system remained silent.
Well, one shouldn't be too greedy; having an identification function was already a pleasant surprise.
Fang Zhou fiddled with the Illusion-Repelling Orb in his hand, not expecting it to be a demon brain calculus, wrongly assuming it was a demon core, yet the effect was not any less potent, as it can provide immunity to low-level Spirit Magic.
Illusion Techniques belong to Spirit Magic, and Fang Zhou already had high spiritual resistance. Now, with the Illusion-Repelling Orb, he was virtually in a low-level Spirit Magic Immune state.
Awesome!
Next time he encountered a fox demon, Fang Zhou would let them know who their nemesis was.
He securely hid the Illusion-Repelling Orb close to his body and glanced once more at the cellar, quietly sighing, "I have avenged you; rest in peace."
Before coming tonight, Fang Zhou had asked Wang Fulai; the Hu Family had been kind and virtuous for generations, they shouldn't have met such a fate.
Suddenly, a cold wind picked up in the cellar, accompanied by faint whining, as if someone was crying, or perhaps thanking someone.
In a daze, Fang Zhou saw over a hundred men, women, and children, side by side, kneeling down in front of him.
He rubbed his eyes, and looked again—everything was gone, including the chilling wind.
He pursed his lips, turning to leave the cellar.
Stepping out of the cellar and into the back garden, Ling Xiaoyue, clad in a pristine white robe, suddenly flew down from the sky and landed in front of him.
Ling Xiaoyue remained pure as driven snow, spotless, holding a wine jug in one hand and the bodies of two enormous fox demons in the other, much larger than the Hu sisters, just slightly smaller than the man-eating demon fox in the cellar.
Clearly, the two large fox demons hadn't escaped either and died by Ling Xiaoyue's hands.
With this, the entire family of fox demons had finally been exterminated by the master and apprentice.
