When players became strong enough to crush dungeons through brute force, of course people with time on their hands came back and started to thoroughly explore these dungeons one by one.

It wasn’t just attack methods and strategy—they explored everything from the background plot to even the easter eggs on passer-by NPCs.

So when Gu Nan saw that elderly town mayor, Moffett, he immediately felt at ease. If this was the same as the in-game dungeon, then he could clear it with his eyes closed.

While Gu Nan was looking around, the other three also began talking with the mayor in order to obtain more information on the mission.

Gu Nan listened for a while from the side. He was a little surprised to find that these people’s skill level was much higher than the people inside Radiant Tower.

Even Lu Zhanyu, who looked like a foolish girl earlier, appeared so capable and experienced now that she didn’t even seem like the same person.

‘Is it because an independent reincarnator must be self-reliant, so their abilities are stronger, or is it because the overall level of that branch of Radiant Tower is too weak?’ Such a question surfaced in Gu Nan’s heart.

Luo Sheng and Danny had already walked far.

Lu Zhanyu looked at Gu Nan doubtfully. “Aren’t you going to gather information on the mission?”

Gu Nan shook his head and expressed that he wasn’t interested— ‘What nonsense. I can even recite the lines of several key NPCs word for word, so what’s there to explore?’

Lu Zhanyu looked at him oddly, but ultimately didn’t say anything else.

Gu Nan’s image in her eyes was also somewhat mysterious. This had been the case ever since Star Realm. She didn’t expect that he would even be a reincarnator.

A moment later, the three met up again to exchange information, although everyone found similar things.

“The demon army will invade from the west. We have half a day to prepare,” Danny concisely concluded.

Luo Sheng nodded and added, “The town has items that can restrain demons. If we join the war, they can be provided to us for free.”

“But these items are limited, so we have to use them carefully,” Lu Zhanyu frowned as she spoke.

The three each spoke a sentence. Immediately after Lu Zhanyu finished, they turned their heads and looked at Gu Nan.

Although it was necessary to share information as team members, if Gu Nan wanted to obtain all their information without putting in any effort, then… Of course nobody would turn against him immediately, but they would definitely roll their eyes behind his back.

Lu Zhanyu’s eyes showed a trace of mockery. She really wanted to use this chance to gather information on Gu Nan.

Gu Nan, on the other hand, didn’t think about all that. In order to properly complete the mission, he didn’t mind giving some advice to the three party members.

“See that?” Gu Nan pointed to a little white dog by the road.

The other three simultaneously turned their heads and gave the little white dog a fright.

“What about that dog?” Luo Sheng looked curious.

“This kind of dog is called the Green Feather Dog. There are three in this town. On the first day, a Flying Devil will appear. If you use the Green Feather Dog’s neck fur, you can lure the Flying Devil over and kill it.”

Gu Nan didn’t even lift his eyelids as he continued, “If we don’t do this, we’ll have to waste a large amount of explosive potions to kill it. That would be a tremendous loss.”

The “walkthrough” was so detailed that it caused Luo Sheng and Danny to exchange glances. The latter said hesitantly, “This town isn’t big, so it won’t be hard to find the dogs. But… How did you know this?”

“Oh, a beggar passed by just now and told me,” Gu Nan casually made up an excuse.

All three of them stared at him with faces full of disbelief.

“Don’t believe me? Then there’s nothing I can do either.” Gu Nan shrugged. “That beggar left.”

……

……

Although they didn’t really believe Gu Nan’s excuse, it wasn’t hard to find three dogs, so they decided to trust him this once.

As mission companions, their respective positions were still pretty pure. They didn’t have any conflicts of interest with each other, so why would the other party have any reason to deceive them?

After collecting the fur from three dogs, the reincarnators then began to ask the townspeople what kind of help they could provide. They collected a pile of weapons, potions, and methods to restrain demons.

The three of them really were skilled. They knew that they wouldn’t use up all these items on the first day, so they found a place near the front line to serve as a temporary stronghold and item storage.

This would make it convenient for those who finished resting to rejoin the battle and would also facilitate the management of supplies.

This whole process was basically carried out by Lu Zhanyu and the other two, while Gu Nan was OB[1] the entire time.

Although Gu Nan knew what items would be used on the first day, he couldn’t say everything. That would seem too fake. What kind of beggar would know that much?

The first wave of demons attacked when night fell. The demons emerged like a tidal wave, making people’s scalps feel numb.

Every single one of these demons looked strange and frightening. There were six-headed ogres, Evil Eyes over ten meters tall, and giant spiders hundreds of meters long.

“So these are… demons?” Although Danny was knowledgeable, she had never seen such a scene before. Right now, her breathing couldn’t help quickening.

Luo Sheng’s face also looked a little pale. In contrast, Lu Zhanyu could still keep calm. After all, she had been raised in an influential family.

As for Gu Nan, he cared even less. If these people had witnessed the wars between different gods’ kingdoms, then they’d know that the current battle couldn’t even be considered a small-scale fight.

“Don’t be in a hurry to engage. This is just the demons’ vanguard. Let the NPCs… Let the natives exhaust these forces first,” Gu Nan calmly spoke, almost divulging too much.

Perhaps because they were infected by Gu Nan’s calm tone, his party members subconsciously chose to heed his words.

The town guards also poured out and rushed at the demon army from all directions. The ground outside the town was instantly dyed red with blood.

The demons didn’t make Gu Nan and his party wait too long. Just a few minutes later, four larger demons appeared. They were obviously demon leaders.

“Attack,” Gu Nan commanded out of habit. “Pay attention to the demons around them. Those are elite guards. Their stats are 30% higher than the ordinary demons.”

The three team members stared blankly.

After saying this, even Gu Nan shook his head slightly as he thought, ‘I’ve immersed myself too deeply in this play.’ Then he ran straight to the front line.

The goal of the first day’s attack was to help players adapt to the playstyle, so the difficulty wouldn’t be too high.

According to this world’s classification, the strength of a demon leader was roughly Innate Realm Fifth Stage, while Luo Sheng and Danny were both at Innate Realm Sixth Stage. Lu Zhanyu was slightly weaker, but she still had strength equal to a Fifth Stage expert.

If the demon leaders weren’t on the battlefield and if they weren’t surrounded by elite guards, then the four could clean up all the leaders in a few seconds.

Luo Sheng was a martial arts cultivator. He used a huge sword that could kill over ten demons with a single sweep. He charged into the fray directly.

On the other hand, Danny looked more like a spiritual-type cultivator. She chanted something, and balls of fire rained down around the demon leader, immediately causing miserable screams.

Lu Zhanyu’s strength was slightly weaker, but she cultivated both martial arts and mental-type secret techniques. Her figure was extremely nimble, cutting into the battlefield in a few steps.

All the demons that approached her became charmed, and they couldn’t come within 10 meters of her at all.

The three began to use their own methods to control the battle, then turned to look in Gu Nan’s direction—they were still very curious about this mysterious companion of theirs.

But what they saw was an exceedingly astonishing scene.
