Ghost crows are indeed a "magic weapon" for scouting.
When the last core of the territory was smashed to pieces by the fist of the Shura Empire, the system broadcast appeared.
[Human driver Wei Huan slaughtered all the Dark Beasts in District 3900, achieving the achievement "Dark Beast Slayer".]
[Dark Beast Slayer Title]
[Dark Beast Hatred +100%]
[Obtain the Dark Beast Roster]
Wei Huan: "..."
Mu Zhong: "..."
Before they could continue smashing this title that would increase hatred and wonder what benefits it would bring, a new system notification sounded.
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Reward: Golden Treasure Chest]
[Next stage: 1000br5000 mission points, reward: Platinum Chest x1]
[Settlement required? Yes/No]
Compared to the previous nonsensical "hatred-inducing achievement," Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were more drawn to this notification.
The two of them, without prior arrangement, both thought of the same possibility.
This task can be continued!?
And if they keep scrolling like this, is it possible that one day they might get a diamond treasure chest?
They've gone astray.
Wei Huan thought to himself, "Even a golden treasure chest isn't enough for me, yet I dare to covet a diamond treasure chest."
If a platinum treasure chest requires him to wipe out four thousand lords of the same rank, then a diamond treasure chest would probably require him to kill more than ten thousand lords of the same rank.
Especially after obtaining the "Dark Beast Buster," one can imagine that the difficulty of the mission will increase dramatically.
The high-level dark beasts are not to be underestimated; once they learn of his existence, they will surely try to intercept and kill him on various battlefields.
From the open to the covert, the arrangements made against him must be endless. Who dares to say that they can complete the mission without ever losing?
Even after thinking so much in that instant, Wei Huan still pressed the [No] button at the very end.
To challenge the world is to fail, or die.
If you don't want to die, of course you have to keep winning.
Why not set higher goals?
Throughout the entire process, Mu Zhong did not offer any suggestions. He silently awaited Wei Huan's choice, and the smile on his lips and the trusting expression on his face told him the truth.
Whatever he wants, he will support him.
[Random challenge is about to close. Teleportation countdown: 3, 2, 1.]
The countdown ended, and the teleportation sensation returned.
When they came to their senses, they had already left the Lord's World and returned to their car.
Wei Huan returned to the familiar driver's seat and turned his head to see Mu Zhong, who had also been teleported out.
The two exchanged a glance, then relaxed and slumped back in their seats.
Looking at each other's tired faces and dark circles under their eyes, they suddenly burst into laughter.
Wei Huan said, "Your stamina has dropped to 20 again."
Mu Zhong said, "What about yourself? Didn't you even look?"
"Too lazy to look."
"Then let me see it."
Wei Huan was really tired. The double drain on his physical and mental strength made him too lazy to even move his fingers once he relaxed.
Mu Zhong then propped himself up and raised his hand to remove the guard.
Huan's glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Without his glasses, Wei Huan's severely disfigured face reappeared. Mu Zhong didn't even blink before putting on his glasses and looking at Wei Huan.

"Stamina 91 points, Dark Power 0. Your glasses are really interesting. I wish I could have one."
Wei Huan raised his hand and touched his face, belatedly realizing that he was still somewhat concerned about his appearance.
He turned his head away and looked at the white fog outside the windshield, saying, "You could try a side job; maybe the glasses will be counted as part of the vehicle parts."
"That will have to wait until I advance to Sequence 2 and become a junior technician." After a pause, Mu Zhong straightened himself up, looked out the window, and said, "I can't wait to enter the next road challenge, 'Driver'…that's interesting."
Wei Huan's lips twitched, but he fell silent again.
The [Driver Sequence] is not the only legendary profession, but very few people awaken this sequence, and even fewer survive.
The obscure sequence was not widely publicized by the official team until the appearance of a Sequence 5 [Mech Technician] completely changed the perception that this sequence was purely supportive.
What lies at the end of the driver's sequence?
Could it be piloting and building starships?
Perhaps the ultimate goal of this cruel evolution is to allow the victors to pilot starships with godlike bodies to venture into the depths of the universe and explore the real world.
Both of them were too tired, so they had a simple dinner, each eating a bowl of instant noodles.
Before the instant noodles were ready, Wei Huan opened the box, which turned out to be another golden treasure chest as a reward for the chain quest.
again?
hey-hey.
[Obtained 1 Golden Stamina Potion]
[Obtained Golden Endurance Helmet x1]
[get...]
Mu Zhong, who was making instant noodles, asked in surprise, "Did I get a duplicate piece of equipment?"
"One is medicine, and the other is a helmet."
"It's the helmets, two endurance helmets. We can sell one now."
Only after Mu Zhong reminded him did Wei Huan realize that there was indeed such a thing.
He specifically took out the two gold endurance helmets for comparison.
Both add 200 stamina, but one increases block value by 100, while the other increases armor by 100.
In other words, even equipment with the same name can have differences.
What do "parry" and "armor" represent respectively?
Perhaps the former means there is a higher probability of surviving an opponent's attack unscathed.
The latter indicates that the helmet is more robust and durable.
"Dinner's ready," Mu Zhong called out.
Wei Huan snapped out of his daze, got up, and took the instant noodles from the counter.
He then asked, "Going back tomorrow morning?"
It refers to leaving the car and returning to Earth.
"We pulled off a big event this time, exceeding our targets. Oh, by the way, did you see that Dark Beast Buster thing, and that roster reward?"
Wei Huan remembered, selected the warehouse, and took out the "Dark Beast Register".
A book as thick as three bricks appeared in the teleportation array in the living room.
It was heavy to pick up, and the outer skin felt like some kind of animal hide, with ancient and unfamiliar characters written on it.
Wei Huan placed it on the table and opened it directly. Fortunately, the characters inside were ones he recognized.
"So thick? What's written inside?" Mu Zhong leaned closer, and the two heads were pressed together.
The first page, when turned, records a history of the Dark Beasts.
The Dark Beast race is located in the 33rd Dark Dimension. Their initial form originated from single-celled carbon-based life forms that evolved after the mutation of dark particles.
[Attached image]
[Flat and leaf-like in shape, it can migrate in the dark atmosphere, divide and reproduce, and is called the dark-leaf flat-footed insect.]
[Over the next 320 million years, influenced by the dark plane, dark particles in the universe coalesced into atoms, and a large number of dark leaf-footed organisms that inhabited these atoms underwent metamorphosis, becoming multicellular organisms...]
Before he knew it, he had reached the sixth page. This long evolution had finally come to the point where we arrived at the stage of "protostomes" and "deuterostomes," and only then did Wei Huan come back to his senses.
Mu Zhong was clearly also unable to concentrate due to the strong tastes he was experiencing at this stage.
Their eyes met simultaneously.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the distance was excessively close.
They could only hurriedly look at the roster again.
Mu Zhong said, "It's practically a dark history of human biological evolution."
"Um."
"Is this the reason why the Dark Beast Clan is our human enemy?"
"perhaps."
"Skip this part for now, let me look at what comes next."
Wei Huan didn't say anything, and quickly flipped through the pages, flipping through almost half the book before finding the content he wanted to read.
[One Star Ghost Crow]
[Attached image]
[It has wings and can fly at speeds up to 220 km/h. It feeds on parasites found on low-level dark beasts such as wolves and bears. Its sharp beak and long armor are its primary means of attack. Skilled in observation and ambush, it is an excellent hunter.]
[Two Star Ghost Crow]

[Four-Star Ghost Crow]
[Attached image]
[When it has wings and can fly at speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour... its cry is shrill and piercing, causing severe mental distress, dizziness, sluggishness, fear, and other negative states. It cannot be avoided by physical means such as plugging one's ears; it can only be overcome through sheer willpower. Upon encountering this level of ghost crow, one must regain consciousness as quickly as possible, using methods such as pain stimulation or shouting to restore awareness.]
[Five Star Ghost Crow]

After reading from one star to nine stars in one go, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong remained speechless for a long time.
Mu Zhong spoke first: "It eventually evolved into a mythical life form?"
Wei Huan said, "That's normal. Reaching the end of our professional careers is a legend."
"I never imagined that such a small ghost crow would have such great potential."
"This information is not reliable."
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan with great interest.
Wei Huan said, "After the ghost crows transformed into spirits, their speed immediately reached its maximum, but apart from their cries, they lost all other means of attack."
"They're all dead, so things must have changed. This is the Dark Beast Register, not the Undead Register."
Wei Huan raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "However, this roster will be very useful to the challenge legions."
"Indeed, it's very large, so are you going to hand it over?"
Why not?
"Wei Huan".
"Um?"
"Things aren't safe outside. Going out tomorrow will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"Blue Star doesn't allow the use of supernatural powers."
"That depends on whether our opponents follow the rules."
"Okay, let's eat the noodles first, it won't taste good if we make soup later."
Since they both wanted to continue reading "The Dark Beast Register," the two decided to eat noodles side by side.
Wei Huan, who was sitting on the right, was still holding down the pages of the book with one hand. The two of them would finish reading a page at the same time and then continue to turn the page.
Before they knew it, they had finished a bowl of noodles and hadn't even read a fraction of the book. Both of them were quite fond of it.
The most tedious book, yet it records humanity's hope for victory.
It was a matter of life and death, so even a mediocre student would have to grit their teeth and watch it, let alone two people who both loved learning.
As Mu Zhong read, he said, "If only we had this book sooner, so many people wouldn't have died."
"Hmm." Wei Huan nodded inwardly.
Yes, if only this book had existed sooner, humanity wouldn't have gone extinct.
There are no strategies for challenging the world; the truth or falsehood of every piece of information is determined by the lives of the challengers.
This book wasn't real money, nor did it give Wei Huan the same attribute boosts as in a game, but Wei Huan still felt that exchanging 100% of his Dark Beast's aggro for this book was well worth it.
This is a "magical book" capable of changing the course of events.
The two were so engrossed in watching that they forgot to eat and sleep. When they came to their senses, they looked at each other and saw that each other's eyes were bloodshot.
The final two days of hunting in the random challenges truly exhausted them.
Wei Huan took the initiative, flipped the book page, and said, "Go to sleep first."
"Wait a minute." Mu Zhong rubbed his dry eyes. "There's something I almost forgot. What are your plans after we get out?"
"Materials for a Level 5 vehicle."
"What happens after you deliver the materials?"
"join the army."
Mu Zhong's lips tightened: "The Southwest Army?"
Wei Huan nodded without hesitation, his attitude firm, and then asked in return, "Just say what you're thinking."
"The Northeast Army…" Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan, waiting for his answer.
Wei Huan shook his head without hesitation, just like before.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Zhong smiled, his nails digging into his flesh.
The two didn't even bother to collect the empty instant noodle boxes or take a shower. They went back to their room, lay down on the bed fully clothed, and fell asleep within a minute.

I slept very soundly.
When Wei Huan opened his eyes, he found that it was already eight o'clock the next morning.
The world's schedule is set at 6 AM, causing Earth's schedule to adjust accordingly.
So sleeping until eight o'clock is something that hasn't happened to me in a long time.
Mu Zhong was clearly exhausted yesterday; he hadn't woken up even after Wei Huan got up to wash and dress.
He came to the kitchen with his hair still wet, stood there blankly for three minutes, and finally simply opened the system page and chose to teleport out.
If you can't make it, can't you at least buy it?
He remembered passing by that day; there was a porridge shop nearby, and a fried noodle shop next to it…
The feeling of returning to Earth after challenging the world is very special.
It's not just about the change in magnetic field and gravity, but also about the sense of bewilderment and helplessness of returning to the everyday life after a period of crisis and loneliness.
Wei Huan didn't really like coming back to Earth.
It's not that he dislikes Earth; Earth is his home planet, and he deeply loves it.
As a challenger who had been fighting in the Challenge World for a long time, he had spent most of his previous life either living in a car or risking his life in the Challenge World. One day, he suddenly realized that he could no longer live an ordinary and peaceful life as if he were deceiving himself.
Such peace and happiness, such tranquility and prosperity.
An elderly man led a toddler to kindergarten and returned carrying a basket of fresh vegetables. A migrant worker, stuck in traffic, honked his horn impatiently before cursing and swerving away. Steam rose from a passing steamed bun shop, the sweet aroma of noodles filling the air. And nearby, the school bell rang, signaling the end of morning self-study, followed by the joyful laughter of children bursting forth.
It was the blue planet he cherished and protected, but it was also the blue planet he could never return to.
Carrying two bags of breakfast, Wei Huan walked back with a faster pace than when he came; he was eager to get back to his car.
Just as I entered the residential area, before I even reached the building, a group of people emerged from behind the bushes.
There were five of them, all strong, adult men, exuding an aura unique to challengers.
As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Wei Huan, blocking all his paths.
Wei Huan looked at them calmly, without moving.
There were many people coming and going in the neighborhood in the morning, but the alert elderly people clearly sensed that something was wrong early on and kept their distance from a distance.
For a time, there was no one within a 50-meter radius of where they were.
Only two "quack" sounds came from above.
A dark shadow swept across the top of the tree canopy, startling the bird L that was perched on the tree, which then flew away in a flurry.
"Mr. Wei, our boss would like to see you." The leading man forced a fierce smile, looking very unapproachable.
Wei Huan's gaze swept over him, noticing his strong physique and the complete set of individual soldier equipment that had materialized.
This was a third-tier true weapon, which he was very familiar with.
The remaining four are all Tier 2 warriors. The [Farmer Sequence] has the most awakened sequences and is the one left in the Challenge World.
It is the most common profession in the industry and is also the "cost-effectiveness" favorite of some private conglomerates.
Working for a private individual can be very lucrative.
"Mr. Wei?" The leader of the conversation was still polite, though impatient, he suppressed his impatience and said, "We've been waiting for you for three days. The brothers are exhausted and sleepy. Seeing the boss won't do you any harm. Please, come on in."
The following words clearly carried a hint of threat.
Wei Huan's gaze returned to the leading soldier, and he said calmly, "Here for the treasure chest?"
Before the other party could respond, Wei Huan continued, "No time, no, I'm not going, move aside."
The real soldier leader: "..."
Then his eyebrows shot up instantly, and he took a step forward: "Mr. Wei, you're putting us in a difficult position. Whether or not to complete the transaction is between you and your boss. Our task is to take you there."
Wei Huan frowned: "Am I your father? Why would I need to make things difficult for you?"
One sentence from him made the leader of the real soldiers' face twist in anger, and his brow furrowed with rage. He gave a forced smile and said, "Stop joking. Come with us."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Wei Huan's hand, attempting to control him.
The sudden move also had the intention of testing the waters. Wei Huan won the championship in the beginner road challenge, which was enough to prove his strength. Last night's notification further proved that Wei Huan was not someone to be trifled with.
If we really can't bring Wei Huan back, we should at least bring back some intelligence.
However, before the leader of the real soldiers could even touch Wei Huan's hand, a figure flashed by, and Wei Huan, with a quick step, broke free of the encirclement and stood outside.
The second-tier warriors were like wooden statues; they didn't even have time to react before they were gone.
"Impressive skills. Are you a warrior? Or a con artist?"
Wei Huan steadied the swaying takeout, looked up and gave the other person a deep look, and said, "Tell your boss that I can take out my stuff, but I will only cooperate with the Challenge Legion. Don't waste each other's time."
After saying that, Wei Huan turned and left without waiting for a response.
The remaining five people blocking the road glanced at the growing crowd around them, but ultimately dared not make a move and left dejectedly.
Wei Huan entered the building and simultaneously disappeared from countless sights.
On the rooftop, behind the windows, and in the trees, pairs of thoughtful eyes simultaneously shifted away.
Immediately afterwards, countless messages flew out from here.
"Wei Huan is out; he's a melee class."
...
"Wei Huan is suspected to be a thief."
...
"Yes, he made it clear that he had no intention of collaborating with private individuals."
...
"He's a student at Challenger University, those schools are the Challenger Legion's reserves. I suggest we start with the schools. If he really cooperates with the Challenger Legion, then we're out of the picture."
...
at the same time.
The people from the challenge legion who were stationed here also learned of Wei Huan's statement.
Mu Dehao, who was in Beijing, also received the news immediately.
Upon hearing the report, he raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all.
The intelligence minister who came to report was quite pleased: "Do you think our people should make contact?"
Mu Dehao waved his hand: "No need, just send the people over there to continue keeping watch."
"Be careful, don't let them get hurt."
"Just protection? But..." Mu Dehao glared at him, cutting off his words.
The intelligence minister thought for a moment, then said, "Commander Dong has been asking me to investigate Wei Huan's whereabouts, saying it's related to the Level 5 tank. Now that they've come out, what do you think..."
Mu Dehao sighed and said, "Our level four tanks have been stuck for a long time too."
"so..."
"So what? What have you thought of this time? Okay, okay, you go out first, let me think about it some more."
After the intelligence minister left, Mudhao picked up his phone and scratched his head vigorously as if trying to stare two holes through it.
I couldn't resist and dialed that number.
The call connected, and a voice came from the other end: "Dad..."
Mu Dehao almost broke down in tears.
...
The old elevator doors opened with a clanging sound that echoed through the quiet corridor.
From a very distant place came a few cawing calls, which were irritating to the ears.
Wei Huan stepped out of the elevator.
I had just taken three steps when I suddenly felt a movement of air, bringing with it the sound of something sharp cutting through the atmosphere.
He exerted force with his leg and delivered a stylish side kick.
The air on the left side distorted, and a blurry figure flew out with a scream.
With a "thud," she slammed against the wall, revealing a woman dressed in a black bodysuit, motionless and unconscious.
In his limp hand, a dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Wei Huan frowned and reached for the takeout box in the plastic bag.
The cawing of the ghost crows continued incessantly.
A hint of impatience appeared in Wei Huan's eyes.
With a thought, countless black clouds rose around him, enveloping him entirely in black mist.
The black mist rapidly expanded, filling the entire corridor. In the blink of an eye, all the thieves lurking there revealed themselves, clutching their heads and stiffening their bodies.
He walked unhurriedly past each stiff body, ignoring their wide-open, terrified eyes, and through the black mist, opened the door.
The black mist flowed into the room like water, filling every small room.
Finally, in the bedroom, they saw Mu Zhong, who was propping himself up on the table, barely managing not to fall.
Then, as if replaying a scene, the black mist returned and disappeared from his side.
Faintly, the sound of croaking could be heard from afar.
Mu Zhong turned his head, his face not looking good, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Have many people come looking for us?"
Wei Huan nodded, staring intently at Mu Zhong's face until he had completely recovered from the coldness and fear inflicted by the ghost crows, and his expression relaxed as well.
Then, he handed over the takeout he was holding and said, "Eat and then leave."
Mu Zhong accepted the breakfast without asking any further questions; he was aware of Wei Huan's thoughts.
After taking only a few bites, she asked in confusion, "Is it really that revealing?"
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhong said, "I mean, is your profession really that exposed?"
Wei Huan nodded.
He had no intention of hiding anything; since the other party had attacked him, he would not cower and passively take the beating.
It's normal for others to covet all the good stuff he's taken, so he wants to make these ungrateful bastards know that he earned everything through his own abilities.
Moreover, participation in large-scale battles requires the deployment of legions, and only by demonstrating one's strength can one be deployed to important positions.
The points rewards vary depending on the location.
The growth of a strong person requires a large amount of resources. Who will provide them? Will they fall from the sky? Or will they hide in the crowd, thinking, "I'm developing quietly; gold will always shine, and no one's discovering my talent is just blind"—a typical weakling mentality!
