Urban Demon Refining System

"Zhao Baichuan, you can drop me off here! My mom and the others are still here!" The girl said as she dropped Lin Xiaomo off at her doorstep. After all, puppy love was a sensitive topic for these high school students, and she was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Okay! I'll head back now." Zhao Baichuan shared similar concerns.

"Okay, then be careful!" Lin Xiaomo hummed in agreement and said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm leaving now." Zhao Baichuan, unaware of Lin Xiaomo's unusual mood, agreed and turned to leave.

"What a blockhead!" Xiao Mo scolded Zhao Baichuan only after he disappeared from sight. "This was their first real date, and you were so hasty!"

Heaven help me, Zhao Baichuan really only sent Xiao Mo back for her safety. How could he understand the little thoughts in the girl's heart?

Leaving aside Lin Xiaomo's resentful upstairs, Zhao Baichuan himself received a text message from Xiao Yang shortly after leaving Xiaomo's house:

"Baichuan, I'm in a McDonald's restaurant next to Lefu Plaza. Can you come over here for a moment?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Zhao Baichuan replied quickly, then hailed a taxi and headed towards the location Xiao Yang had specified.

Lefu Plaza was not far from Lin Xiaomo's home; he arrived there after paying only the starting fare.

"Xiao Chuan! Over here!" As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yang waving at him from the corner seat by the window.

"Teacher Xiao, how did it go? Did you capture the bat demon easily?" Zhao Baichuan sat down opposite Xiao Yang and asked with a smile.

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy suddenly appeared from beside the table, jumped onto his hand, and kept calling out, as if complaining, "Why did you, my master, abandon me and leave so heartlessly?"

"Sorry! I'll be more careful next time." Zhao Baichuan chuckled. This little guy is becoming more and more like a mini loli. There was indeed a reason for what happened back then, and leaving the flower fairy behind was a helpless move. Moreover, he believed that with Xiao Yang's strength, he would be able to get away unscathed.

"Hehe, I really owe this to this little guy, otherwise you might not be seeing me now."

"What? Even Teacher Xiao wasn't a match for that bat demon?" Zhao Baichuan asked, taken aback.

"Hehe, one bat demon is nothing to worry about, but a group of bat demons could take my life!" Xiao Yang said half-jokingly.

"A group of bat demons!" Zhao Baichuan was startled, his eyes widening immediately. "Teacher Xiao, you mean there's a group of bat demons in the grove?!"

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes. Luckily, the flower fairy gave us a warning early, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable!" Xiao Yang chuckled and patted the flower fairy's little head. "Thanks to you!"

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy proudly raised her chin and kept winking at Zhao Baichuan, as if to say, "Look, now you know how powerful I am!"

"Hehe, this little guy is quite clever!" Zhao Baichuan said with some surprise. "But, Teacher Xiao, why is there a group of bat demons lurking there?"

On the night he got the game, a blood droplet, a monster, was indeed shown on the myth map, but he never expected it to be a group of bat demons.

"I don't know either," Xiao Yang shook her head. "Although I've been playing the game a little longer than you, I've only just moved beyond the beginner level, so there are some things I don't know much about. But I see that those bat demons are just resting there and don't seem to be leaving, so they shouldn't pose a threat for the time being." After escaping the grove, she quietly went back to investigate and didn't find any signs of the bat demons moving. Moreover, there hadn't been any reports of casualties near Lefu Square over the years, which is why she made this judgment.

"That's good!" Zhao Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Compared to the cute-looking flower fairies, the bat fairies were clearly not benevolent. Such a large group of fairies would inevitably bring danger to the surrounding residents. Now that he heard Xiao Yang say this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"I will discuss this matter with Hei Tou later. If possible, I will also compile a report and submit it to Shushan. I believe they will handle it properly."

"Report to Shushan?" Zhao Baichuan immediately became interested.

"Yes, the Shushan faction has outposts in every city with players. We just need to send the compiled report there. If the information is verified, there will be a reward from above!"

"There's a reward too!" Zhao Baichuan's eyes lit up even more.

"Of course, the rewards are based on the value of the intelligence. Don't worry, I'll keep your share for you."

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhao Baichuan said sweetly. He wasn't a disciple of the Shu Mountain faction, so how could he not be happy that Xiao Yang had agreed to share with him?

"Don't give me that!" Xiao Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Tell me honestly, what were you and Xiao Mo doing in that grove of trees! Running around there so late at night, were you trying to ruin some girl's life? Let me tell you, Xiao Mo is a good kid, you can't..."

"Oh, my dear Ms. Xiao, am I that kind of person? I have the desire but not the guts. I was just thinking about her safety..." Zhao Baichuan immediately cried out that he was wronged, and then told her about the series of things that had happened with the baseball cap.

"You mean, that guy in the baseball cap has four demons, but he's still no match for you?" Xiao Yang's attention was quickly drawn to the baseball cap, and she asked.

"That's right. Including the greedy dragon that I refined, he has a total of four demons, but neither the vine demon nor the moth demon is a match for me."

"That shouldn't be!" Xiao Yang frowned. "Having four demonic creatures means you should at least be a seasoned player. How come your strength is even weaker than a newbie like you?"

"I'm exceptionally talented, my talent is overwhelming!" Zhao Baichuan said arrogantly.

"Come on! This game doesn't have any hidden talent values!" Xiao Yang immediately poured cold water on the idea. "However, I do have a guess..."

"What guess?" Zhao Baichuan perked up at the question. He had only been trying to lighten the mood and didn't actually think he was the kind of protagonist with a halo.

"You remember those three choices before the game started, right?"

"Yes, of course." Zhao Baichuan nodded. Xiao Yang was referring to the Ghost-Collecting Gourd, which represented the Kunlun camp; the Demon-Refining Teapot, which represented the Shushan camp; and the Sealing Stone, which once represented the Penglai camp.
