Chapter 28 - Daxia's mountains and rivers are unharmed. Will there be a lack of people who are willing to die?
Meeting with the senior management of the Da Xia military!
Su Xing was pretty excited. He'd reflected to the top management in the simulation that there were giant beasts that would attack the Great Xia country, but it was suppressed by the top management.

It was simply because at that time, although he was worth tens of billions of dollars, he was ultimately just an ordinary person and his strength was too low.

In this simulation, Su Xing's Grain Resisting Pill was a big deal for the Great Summer Kingdom, and he was finally given this rare chance.

Su Xing took a deep breath and moved on to the next simulation.

The head of the military you meet is an old guy. You're surprised to find that you've seen him on the news. His name is Lu Yuanwu, a martial arts powerhouse!

[The chief was really friendly and asked you how many Pioneer Dans you could make in a day.

[Your skills at making pills have really improved over the years, and you're confident you can make fifty Grain Rescue Pills in a single day.]]

The Führer looks a bit disappointed when he hears this number. He says that this amount is still too little and asks you about the method of refining the Pai Gu Dan. He also says that he'll meet any request you may have, as long as you're willing to give him the recipe.

You didn't hesitate to hand over the recipe for the Pai Gu Dan because you know that only you can refine it. Plus, the spiritual rice is hard to come by in the mortal world. Even if you give the spiritual rice, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to refine it without the fire-removing technique.

A few days later, Lu Yuanwu came to see you again. He said he'd let you refine the Pure Grain Pill easily, and that the people he'd arranged for wouldn't be able to practice this kind of pill.

You asked for your own thing: you wanted to travel to the Zhen Demon Dungeon to find out what was going on.

Lu Yuanwu was a bit hesitant when he heard this. He said it was too dangerous in the dungeon and that with your strength you would surely die in the dungeon.

But Lu Yuanwu agreed to your request, but only on one condition: you shouldn't go to the front line. Instead, you should stay in the safe zone within the city of Zhen Demon Pass. He sent three master-level powerhouses and a heavenly king-level powerhouse to protect you closely.

[The following day, you followed a group of professionals into the Demon Zhen Pass.]]

You looked around at the professionals with you and felt a sense of familiarity. After some enquiry, you were surprised to find that many of these professionals were graduates of Kyoto Vocational University, and there were even quite a few teachers from Kyoto Vocational University.

Su Xing nodded in agreement. According to the simulator, he would stay at Kyoto Vocational University for another five or six years, before and after adding up to the ten or so years he had already spent there. He must have contacted a lot of schoolmates in these ten years.

After asking around, you found out that things in Zhen Demon Pass have been getting worse and worse recently. Not only do professionals above the Sovereign level need to enter Zhen Demon Pass, but even Master-level professionals have to go into Zhen Demon Pass every year.

When you went into the Zhen Demon Dungeon, you found that everything here looked just like the real world.

[There's a huge transparent cover in the sky, and this magical cover covers the entire Zhen Demon Pass.]

[You found out that there are no ordinary people in the Demon Pass, and that the weakest people, except for you, have the strength of Masters or above.] [You were placed in the Demon Pass.

You've been placed in a small courtyard at the back of the Demon Zhen Pass, next door to Lu Yuanwu. A Heavenly King-level powerhouse is nearby to protect you.
You're not allowed to go to the front lines, but you refine pills in the compound every day. Most of your requests are met.

[You dedicated yourself to refining the Pyrrhic Pill, and were able to guarantee a daily output of fifty pills.]

[Half a year has passed, and after your continuous efforts to improve, the speed at which you refine the grain-expelling pills has further increased, and you are able to refine sixty grain-expelling pills per day.]]
All the pills you made every day were transported to the front line, but Lu Yuanwu said that this amount was still not enough for the soldiers on the front line.

You're not happy. You feel like you've been trying your best to make pills, but you still can't satisfy the military's appetite, and you seem to have become a merciless tool for refining pills.

One night, you took advantage of the lack of attention from the people around you and quietly walked towards the walls of the Zhen Demon Pass.
The city you are in is called the City of the End. It's roughly the size of Kyoto Castle, with Zhen Demon Pass to the north of the city and where you were before to the south.

So you take advantage of the night to rush towards the north of the city. As you go further north, you find that the number of pedestrians on the road decreases. Even if there are occasional pedestrians, most of them are in a hurry, wearing battle armour and holding weapons in their hands.

You're pretty fast, so it only takes you half an hour to get to the Zhen Demon Pass. When you get there, you look at the city in front of you and are pretty shocked. This city wall is thousands of feet high, so you stand under it and look up. You can't see the top at a glance.

[You got mixed up with a group of professionals heading to the city walls and went up to the head of the Zhen Demon Pass.

[On the way, you saw quite a few dying and seriously injured Occupiers being carried down. Priests, healers, and other auxiliary Occupiers kept pouring healing potions into their mouths, but most of the Occupiers still couldn't be saved.]]

[You finally made it to the city wall of the Demon Zhen Pass, which is much wider than you imagined. It's hundreds of feet wide, almost like a large square.]

[There are many professionals busy on the city wall, and you can hear the roar of artillery fire and the sound of cries for help.]

[You see bright spells smashing towards the outside of the barrier like fireworks, and a number of modern missile weapons roaring wildly.]

[You calm yourself down and slowly make your way to the walls.]

[You saw a scene that you will never forget. In the distance, above the boundless wilderness, there were ant-like dots scattered everywhere. Those were the corpses of human professionals.]

[And on top of the wilderness, there were these countless hideous and strangely shaped behemoths. These behemoths were as tall as a thousand metres, even the small ones were tens of metres tall.]]

[You were so affected by the aura of these beasts that you couldn't stay still.]

[At that moment, you see a slightly older professional roar in anger and jump down to the Demon Suppression Pass with dozens of professionals.]

[You understand that they're using their lives to stop the giant beast from breaching this Demon Suppression Pass.]]

[As you'd expect, a mere dozens of Sovereign-class Occupiers wouldn't be able to stop these terrifying behemoths.]

[But the number of Occupiers who jumped down to the city and put their lives on the line is increasing, with Patriarch-level and even Heavenly King-level Occupiers amongst them. Hundreds of Occupier lives were lost, and these behemoths' attack was temporarily stopped.]

[Your heart is racing. You've spent the last six months focusing on alchemy, but now you're learning the truth about the Demon Suppression Pass.]

[Out of the blue, Lu Yuanwu appears behind you. He gives you a pat on the shoulder and says something that you'll never forget.]

[He said, ‘The mountains and rivers of Daxia are unharmed, will there be a lack of people who dare to die?’]
