Urban Demon Refining System

Zhao Baichuan was naturally unaware of what had happened in the bedroom, and of course, he wouldn't discover the secret hidden in his father's body. After leaving the house, he went straight to the nearby bus stop.

Today is Friday. Just one more day and it will be the long-awaited holiday. As a high school student, the holiday that only comes once every two weeks is still very precious.

The waiting time was tedious. It was already late autumn, and the girls on the street were all wrapped up tightly. Zhao Baichuan could only satisfy his lewd fantasies by observing their looks.

"Beep!" Finally, after a few fleeting glances at the beautiful women, the early bus finally arrived late.

Unlike the last bus, the morning bus was quite crowded due to the morning rush hour. Zhao Baichuan struggled to squeeze on, but there was barely enough room to stand inside.

"Make way!" A guy wearing a baseball cap squeezed past Zhao Baichuan from behind, stepping right on the foot of an uncle next to him.

"Hey! What are you pushing for! Can't you see where you're going?!" The middle-aged man, who had a short temper, pointed at the baseball cap and yelled.

"Hey! Sorry, buddy!" The man in the baseball cap wasn't angry at all, and smiled apologetically.

"Be more careful next time!" The middle-aged man didn't want to argue anymore, so he turned his head to the other side, refusing to look at him. However, what he didn't notice was the smug look in the baseball cap behind him.

"Ding! Demonic energy detected. Scan?" Suddenly, the phone in my pocket rang.

"Demonic energy?" Zhao Baichuan was taken aback and subconsciously took out his phone. Through the map on the screen, a bright red drop of blood could be clearly seen jumping around.

"In the car?" He immediately took out his phone and scanned his surroundings. He quickly noticed something amiss: on the back of the hand of the man in the baseball cap, there was a rooster about the size of a palm!

The rooster had a golden beak and a blood-red comb, and its appearance was indescribably eerie. It quickly stretched its neck into the uncle's pocket, snatched the wallet out, and put it in the man's hand. The action was very stealthy, and if it weren't for the system's reminder, Zhao Baichuan would never have noticed this strange thing.

"What kind of monster is this?" Zhao Baichuan was secretly surprised. Compared to his cute flower fairy, this rooster seemed to be quite something!

"Ding! New monster detected. Do you want to activate Monster Compendium 108 Edition?" Suddenly, a sinister female voice rang in its mind again.

"Monster Compendium 108 Edition? What's that?" Zhao Baichuan was taken aback, but still subconsciously asked, "Confirm activation!"

"Ding! You have spent 10 Spirit Coins. Monster Compendium version 108 is now available!"

"Holy crap! This costs money!" Zhao Baichuan cursed the system for being a profiteer, but he had no choice but to accept it.

"Monster Greedy Dragon detected. View information?"

"Confirmed!" This information was purchased with money, how could I not check it?

Greedy Dragon, a metal-type demon, belonging to the Nightmare Dragon category, is a spirit born from desire. Legend has it that it was transformed from the head of a great demon and possesses nine transformation abilities. It continuously strengthens itself by releasing and devouring desires.

"This Greedy Dragon is pretty powerful!" Although the Greedy Dragon doesn't seem to have strong combat abilities according to the illustration, its attribute that is strengthened by devouring desires is amazing. At least on the surface, this guy has unlimited potential for growth.

Having successfully stolen the baseball cap, he quickly distanced himself from the man and, after confirming that no one had noticed his actions, began searching for a new target.

"Looks like this guy is a newbie!" Zhao Baichuan kept a close eye on the man in the baseball cap. Judging from his behavior, this guy seemed very inexperienced in terms of expression, demeanor, and theft methods. He didn't seem like a seasoned criminal.

"Young man, it seems I need to pull you out of the abyss!" Zhao Baichuan moved closer to the baseball cap without leaving a trace, and switched the screen of his phone to the interface of the Demon Refining Teapot. At this moment, he had a bold guess in his mind.

In terms of function, the sealing stone and the monster-refining teapot seem to be no different, as both can only capture one monster. However, their prices differ by nearly ten times. Currently, the sealing stone's function is basically the same as the Poké Ball in Pokémon, which means it is very likely that it cannot capture non-wild monsters. But can the monster-refining teapot, whose value has increased dramatically, break this limitation?

"Ding, detected that the player is using the Demon Refining Teapot for the first time. Continue?" This was a somewhat puzzling notification sound.

However, Zhao Baichuan didn't consider the anomaly at all, and blurted out the word "continue".

Unlike the sealing stone, the demon-refining teapot emitted a beam of green light, which shot towards the chicken dragon like an infrared lamp.

"Squeak!" The moment the beam of light shone on the greedy dragon, the creature noticed the anomaly, but it was too late.

Having been poised to act, Zhao Baichuan decisively pressed the "Capture Demon" button!

"Whoosh!" The Greedy Dragon's figure disappeared from its original spot. As the beam of light was absorbed into the Demon Refining Teapot, at the same time, a progress bar that read "Taming" appeared below the Demon Refining Teapot on the phone screen.

"Holy crap, why is it shaking!" As soon as Zhao Baichuan got his hands on the phone, he felt it suddenly shake violently. He had to use all his strength to keep it from falling off.

"Damn it! How dare you ruin my plans!" The moment the Greedy Dragon left his hand, the man in the baseball cap sensed Zhao Baichuan's presence. He angrily pulled out his phone. "Come out! Vine Demon!" A vibrant green vine appeared in the man in the baseball cap's hand. "Take the Chicken Dragon back for me!"

"Not good!" Zhao Baichuan's expression changed immediately. In this situation, it was extremely disadvantageous for him.

"Ding! Your flower fairy has fallen into a slumber and is temporarily unable to participate in the battle!" To make matters worse, Zhao Baichuan's flower fairy had fallen into a slumber for some unknown reason!

"Vine Demon, use Entanglement!" But the man in the baseball cap didn't hold back. The vine demon coiled around him like a long snake and tightly gripped the phone in Zhao Baichuan's hand.

"Damn it! It has such strength!" The vine demon's strength was somewhat unexpected; it actually pulled Zhao Baichuan over directly!

"Ah! Thief! He stole my phone!" Suddenly, Zhao Baichuan had a flash of inspiration and rammed into the man in the baseball cap, shouting, "Everyone, come help! This guy is a thief, he stole my phone, and I caught him red-handed!" He meant to rally people to catch the thief, but to his surprise, the passengers who were crowding around him backed away, afraid of being implicated.

"Kid! Don't try to be clever! Give me back what you have, and I'll let it go!" Although no one stepped forward, the man in the baseball cap was a little guilty and threatened menacingly.
