Urban Demon Refining System

Breaking news! Pokémon GO will not be available in mainland China!

As soon as he turned on his phone, Zhao Baichuan saw the pinned post on the homepage of the forum. As a loyal Pokémon fan, he was overjoyed by the news of Pokémon GO released by Nintendo.

As an AR game, the announcement of Go attracted the attention of countless Pokémon fans. AR technology, augmented reality, superimposes the real environment and virtual objects into a single screen or space, immersing users in a new environment through sensing devices and giving them a completely new experience.

As a collectible game, Pokémon GO garnered countless fans solely based on its AR technology. Unfortunately, the game was never released in mainland China.

"Sigh, what a disappointment!" Zhao Baichuan slumped down and put his phone down, preparing to climb onto the table for a short rest. As a high school student, his life was rather miserable.

"Zhao Baichuan! Put your phone away! The homeroom teacher is coming!" Just then, a clear voice rang out, reminding him.

"Oh!" Zhao Baichuan was startled. His high school was a key school with strict control over cell phones. After being reminded by his deskmate, he hurriedly put his phone under his books.

"Zhao Baichuan! You're slacking off again. Did you memorize today's text?" A middle-aged man wearing a cashmere vest walked over. "And you, Lin Xiaomo, you need to help your deskmate more and supervise his studies!"

"Understood, Teacher Wu!" Zhao Baichuan pretended to take out his textbook and began to read it seriously.

"Hmm!" Teacher Wu nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the front of the classroom.

"Thank you, Xiao Mo!" Zhao Baichuan glanced at Teacher Wu's retreating figure and said gratefully to his deskmate.

"It's okay!" Lin Xiaomo smiled sweetly, took out her textbook, and started doing her exercises.

Although they were in the same school, Zhao Baichuan, a student who barely made it into the top schools, was no match for the academic elites. After only two semesters, he was defeated by the relentless bombardment of math, physics, and chemistry, and had no choice but to choose the relatively easier humanities track when he had to choose between science and humanities in his second year of high school.

However, what turned out to be a blessing in disguise was that there were many girls in the liberal arts class. Under the law of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, there were still a few eye-catching beauties in the class, and Lin Xiaomo was one of them.

After glancing at his beautiful classmate a couple more times, Zhao Baichuan took out his phone again. After being disturbed earlier, he was wide awake and could only idly browse Tieba again.

"Huh? This pinned post is interesting!" He opened the forum again and found that the original pinned post had been replaced by a tutorial on how to download and register a game.

"There are so many experts on Tieba!" Zhao Baichuan exclaimed before clicking on the post.

"Why not give it a try?" After quickly glancing through the tutorial, a thought suddenly struck him.

Without further ado, Zhao Baichuan followed the instructions in the post step by step, and soon a red and white Poké Ball icon appeared on his phone's home screen.

"Haha! It's done!" But as the saying goes, too much joy leads to sorrow. Just as Zhao Baichuan was about to open the game, his phone screen suddenly went black and crashed.

"Holy crap!" Zhao Baichuan was furious. He had spent most of the evening study session working on this, and this was what he got in return! "Damn it, I'm not playing anymore!" he said angrily.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaomo, who was engrossed in her work, was drawn over by his commotion and asked in confusion.

"Uh, it's nothing!" Zhao Baichuan put his phone in his pocket. "There's a question I don't quite understand, and I'm a little anxious." He was lying through his teeth. He was extremely proud and couldn't very well say that he had spent the whole study session working on something and ended up not getting anything done, and had even crashed his phone. He would be laughed at for that. Although his academic performance wasn't great, Zhao Baichuan still had a strong sense of self-esteem in other areas.

"Which question is it? Let me explain it to you!" Lin Xiaomo asked enthusiastically, without any suspicion.

"Uh, let me think about it some more, I'm almost there!" Just kidding, wouldn't that give him away? Zhao Baichuan laughed awkwardly twice, picked up a pen, and scribbled on the draft paper, pretending to be thinking.

"Okay then, you can ask me if you don't understand!" Lin Xiaomo continued to focus her attention on the textbook.

"Phew!" Zhao Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly reaching his left hand into his pocket and pressing the power button.

As the familiar startup screen lit up, he felt relieved. "Thank goodness it's not broken!"

However, what puzzled him was that a new icon appeared next to the Pokémon GO game icon.

"What is this?" Zhao Baichuan curiously tapped on it, and the entire phone screen went dark, making him think it had crashed again. However, this time there was no such embarrassing situation. After a few seconds, a white skull appeared on the screen.

"Skull? Interesting!" Zhao Baichuan immediately became interested and patiently waited for the game to start.

"Welcome to MythGo!" A sinister female voice echoed in Zhao Baichuan's mind.

"Who? Who's talking!"

"Please select the starting item for the game!" The female voice ignored him and spoke to herself.

"Initial items?" Zhao Baichuan was taken aback. He saw three item icons appear on his phone screen: a gourd, a teapot, and a stone.

"The Ghost-Capturing Gourd, crafted by Daoist Shenxu of Kunlun Mountain, has the power to subdue ghosts and monsters." Zhao Baichuan clicked on the gourd's image, and a crisp notification sound rang out.

"The Demon-Refining Teapot is a game created by Wuxiezi of Shushan. It can subdue demons." He clicked on the teapot again, and the same notification sound rang out again.

"Sealing Stone, a stone that seals an unknown creature, its effects are unknown."

"Damn it, this is such a rip-off! No way!" Zhao Baichuan cursed inwardly as he looked at the description of the sealing stone. Usually, these kinds of items are linked to recharging, such as recharging a certain amount to unlock a certain divine beast. They are all money traps, so he decisively ruled out the sealing stone.

"Zhao Baichuan! What are you looking at?" Just then, Lin Xiaomo's voice suddenly rang out. Zhao Baichuan, who was already feeling uneasy from the eerie female voice, was so frightened that he trembled and his finger unconsciously touched the sealing stone.

"Player selected Sealing Stone. Congratulations, player has obtained one Unknown Creature Sealing Stone. Now proceeding to the account registration interface!"
