Chapter 1: The Zur Empire

[The teleportation has been completed, and the hunter is about to arrive in the Ghost Continent (3-star reward world).] 】

[Due to the Hunter's excess of the Tier 5 Promotion Qualification Precondition (9/10), you can choose one of the following compensations.] 】

1. World Affinity increased by 2 points.

2. The identity of the second son of the extreme king (no real power, noble status, small chance of being assassinated by ghosts, demons, and beasts).

3. Steam and mechanics (need to master the relevant abilities, otherwise there is a higher chance of exposure).

4. Awakened (less than 5% awakening, ultra-high-risk occupations).

5. Deputy Commander of the Execution Organ (in cases of suspected duty crimes, this option risks causing the death of the hunter).

……

Choose one of the five, 1 and 2 options are obviously stable, decent, for this kind of native world, the stability option is directly POSS, Su Xiao is not a newcomer, and he is still cautious at this level, so it is not cautious, but cowardly.

Option 3 was given up directly, except for weapons and traps, Su Xiao couldn't even repair a rice cooker, how could he pretend to be a scholar.

Option 4 and 5 are obviously more hardcore, option 5 is a relatively high position at first glance, as for 'suspected duty crimes', it is worth noting that this is only a suspicion, not that the deputy commander of the execution organ is in prison.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao chose to reward 5, obviously, the position of being able to be called the commander of the legion is definitely not low, although this 'execution organ' does not look like it can command the army, and the legion commander is still a deputy.

But compared to the basic reward, Brother Gongzi, scholars, these professions, option 5 is more in line with Su Xiao's code of conduct, in a strange world, if there is no advantage in the early stage, then it is basically not related to the S+ reward.

That's right, this is also the main reason why Su Xiao chose to reward 5, he wants to fight, if he can achieve the S+ reward, then he can get the Shadow of Annihilation ability that can be mastered by 100 attributes.

After Su Xiao made his choice, the surroundings were still pitch black, as if there was a black mist surging, this was obviously not the Ghost Continent.

The black mist in front of him gradually dispersed, and white light loomed from behind the black mist, allowing those black mist to outline lines of text.

[Enter the world; Ghost Continent】

Location: Outside the atmosphere

World difficulty: Lv.15~Lv.47 (Native World)

The Source of the World; 0% (This is an unexplored native world, and it is extremely difficult to obtain the source of the world).

Therefore, it is a 3-star reward world, which has mastered the language of this world for free, and has forgotten after leaving this world.

World Brief: To be opened.

……

Su Xiao had entered a similar native world, so he was very skilled in opening the world introduction, and if he didn't open this thing, the subsequent teleportation would not continue.

The black mist surged in front of him, and soft white light particles emerged, forming a screen several meters in size, and through the fluorescence, Su Xiao saw Bubuwang, Eminem, and Beni who were located near him.

The scene on the screen is a bird's-eye view, just like in aerial photography, the unpolluted green mountains and green waters are picturesque, and all kinds of migratory birds inhabit here, full of vitality, just looking at this scene, it makes people feel a sense of comfort, this is the beauty of nature.

With a hula, two pitch-black claws burst out of the water, hooking a pure white swan, no matter how the swan struggled and wailed, it was inevitably gnawed and covered in blood, infected by the black body fluids of the ocelot-like creature, this ocelot ...... Something absolutely unnatural.

The picture seems to be sped up tens of thousands of times, and the gorgeous palace rises from the ground, and the whole process is less than 2 seconds.

[In the 12th year of the Zur era, the Zur Empire was established, and peace was restored to the ghost continent, which was not the unification through war, but the result of peace talks between the 17 kings, because ...... They have bigger enemies. 】

[In the 107th year of the Zur era, the Zur Empire made every effort to develop pastoral agriculture, and the following year, the total population of the Zur Empire decreased by one-tenth, and the number of ghosts, demons, and treacherous beasts increased dramatically. 】

[In the 115th year of the Zur era, the total population of the Zur Empire was only 60% of the early days of the founding of the country, however...... They had nothing to do, not disease, hunger, war, but an ever-increasing number of ghosts, demons, and beasts. 】

Ghost: A sapient creature that is extremely predatory, symbiotic, and has a strong appetite for humans.

Demon: Half-energy/half-physical species, with extremely high IQ and talent, and likes to eat human flesh and soul.

Trick Beast: Inferior intelligent creatures, more aggressive, with a wide variety, most of them omnivorous, with relatively excellent learning ability, can be tamed, and cannot be artificially cultivated (after artificially cultivating a beast, the beast will degenerate into an ordinary beast).

[In the 128th year of the Zur era, only 30% of the number of human beings remained, and in the same year, the Awakened were born. 】

[In the year 572 of the Zur era, the number of human beings skyrocketed, and the Zur Empire almost completely occupied the ghost continent, and the awakened became the main combat force of the empire. 】

[In the year 770 of the Zur era, the Zur Empire completely explored the ghost continent and stopped expanding, even if the number of humans skyrocketed, the resources of the ghost continent were still inexhaustible. 】

[In the year 980 of the Zur era, the ghost disappeared from the mainland, and in the same year, conflicts broke out within the Zur Empire, and war was on the verge of breaking out. 】

[In 981 A.D., King Ji tore the contract of alliance and a civil war broke out. 】

[In 982 A.D., the ghosts reappeared, and the number exploded, and the total number once exceeded the total number of humans (68 million), the human civil war stopped, and the Zur Empire almost collapsed several times. 】

[In the year 1030 of the Zur era, the war ended, and the Zur Empire announced that the number of ghosts had been controlled, and in the same year, the number of awakened was less than one percent of the number of the Zur era in 981 AD. 】

Awakened: When there is a huge fluctuation in the mental state of a human being, and during this time, they have a low chance of becoming an Awakened, gaining supernatural abilities, and becoming stronger as they fight the Ghost (this is the information released by the Zur Empire).

The real information is: any human who eats the fresh flesh and blood of the ghost may become an awakened person, the mortality rate is more than 70%, after the awakened person kills the ghost, the physical fitness and awakened ability will be significantly improved, the higher the degree of awakening, the more dangerous the awakened person is, when fully awakened, the awakened person will become a demon.

The boy who slain the dragon in the past gradually grew scales because his body was stained with dragon blood, and now he has turned into an evil dragon, which is a responsibility, but also fate and sadness.

[In 1209 of the Zur era, the civilization of the Zur Empire was developing day by day, steam engines and trains were introduced, and the upper rulers formed a parliamentary system and voted to elect the first monarch, however, those ghosts hidden in human beings are always things that humans cannot clean up, wars, natural disasters are the opportunities they are waiting for, and only then can they multiply at an alarming rate. 】

[World, begin.] 】

……

Su Xiao closed the world introduction, the pattern of the ghost world is very interesting, because there are ghosts, demons, and beasts, human beings rarely have internal wars, and firearms, a sharp weapon used for internal fighting, are still in a relatively backward stage in this world, and if you want to deal with those ghosts, mysterious side cold weapons + awakened people are the most effective means.

It can be said that on the current ghost continent, all the people living on the surface are humans, and it seems that they live and work in peace, but in fact, those ghosts and demons are hidden among the civilians, as long as they don't fight, they are no different from humans.
