Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1244 - 511: Surging Crowds! The Demon King Descends!

"Damn, isn’t this way too crowded? Isn’t the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ Heart of Soul just like an Undead Series haunted house adventure? Is there really a need for so many people to show up at once? With this massive crowd, is there even any horror vibe left?"

On the sprawling long street, the dense flow of people completely blocked the road in every direction. And the source of the crowd this time wasn’t the Heart of Dream Experience Hall—which had lines stretching for half a mile ever since Jianghai College opened—but rather the newly opened Heart of Soul store not far away.

Furthermore, the attendees were absolutely not just queuing students. There were quite a few people who had traveled specifically from the center of Linzhou City, alongside reporters from TV stations and newspapers. Even some out-of-town guests with obvious foreign accents mingled in the crowd.

Su Ping wasn’t responsible for any of this. However, Lao Guan’s recently established network of connections was no joke. In fact, Lao Guan hadn’t even promoted it much; he had merely put out a small advertisement. But the appeal of Su Ping and the Heart of Myriad Spirits had reached an unimaginably massive scale. Moreover, for this grand opening, Su Ping didn’t even plan to make money.

The reason was simple.

"Nonsense, how could there not be a lot of people? Su Shen explicitly said that there’s an event for the opening of the Heart of Soul! As long as players enter and follow the rules to successfully clear the game, they’ll be rewarded with a Commander Level resource of their choice! Not to mention, rumor has it that there are hidden mystery rewards inside, which can be exchanged within the Heart of Soul once certain challenges are completed!" someone contemptuously retorted, mocking the newcomer’s surprise at the sea of people.

"A Commander Level resource of your choice? Just for clearing it? This Su Ping is really rolling in cash! A Commander Level resource must cost at least several hundred thousand, or even over a million, right?" another person sighed emotionally.

"He’s not lacking money anyway. Besides, for things like resources, if an Advanced Beastmaster wants to obtain them, the cost is much lower than buying them on the market."

"But if that’s the case, the difficulty shouldn’t be low either, right?"

"They didn’t say, but I guess it won’t be a walk in the park! Speaking of which, what exactly is the content inside? The Heart of Myriad Spirits has been keeping us in suspense. Has anyone who went in come out yet?" someone in the queuing crowd asked with anticipation.

"Hmph, how hard could it be? I’m an Undead Series Beastmaster! I deal with ghosts and monsters every day, so what kind of Undead could scare me? By the way, can this Heart of Soul be challenged repeatedly? The rules probably didn’t say, right? Watch how I make Su Ping go bankrupt!" someone declared with absolute confidence.

However, as soon as his voice faded, several hurried figures rushed out from the Heart of Soul at the end of the street, instantly plunging the previously heated discussions into absolute silence.

The reason was simple: among those figures was a stretcher, and lying in the middle was a young man who was clearly a student from Jianghai Advanced High School. Except, this young man no longer looked like the proud genius of an advanced college. He lay on the stretcher with his eyes tightly shut, his face deathly pale, and there was even some white foam at the corners of his mouth.

This scene caused the previously fiery atmosphere to plummet into a dead silence. The reporters from TV stations and newspapers, who had originally come for promotional coverage, were a bit dumbfounded, unsure if they should film this.

Such a sight made many people’s hearts skip a beat. Damn it, they had just come to win rewards and join the fun; they never intended to throw their lives away! Was the stuff inside really that terrifying?

Very soon, another figure walked out, answering this doubt. Compared to the young Beastmaster who had just been carried away, this one was slightly older, though he still only looked around twenty-six or twenty-seven. His face was equally pale, and his legs even seemed a bit weak. However, compared to the guy who had been carried out, this one had clearly fared much better.

Immediately, quite a few people gathered around him. "Buddy, what exactly is the situation inside?"

The young man waved his hand. "There’s a non-disclosure agreement regarding the specific details inside, so I can’t say much. I can only talk about some of the rules."

As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd quieted down. Although it seemed like this guy had been inside for less than ten minutes before coming out with the previous buddy, getting some detailed information before entering was still a great advantage.

After calming himself down a bit, the young man finally said, "It’s actually quite simple. It seems that as long as you pass through all seven scenes of the Heart of Soul, you’re considered to have cleared the game. However, every scene has some hidden settings and tasks... If you complete these setting tasks, the clearance rewards might be even better."

Seeing how seriously he spoke, someone nearby asked curiously, "Buddy, at which level did you die?"

Upon hearing this, the young man’s face became slightly awkward, and he coughed lightly. "I died on the first level..."

"BOOOOO..."

Instantly, listening to the chorus of boos echoing around him, the young man’s face flushed red, suppressing much of his previous paleness. He indignantly defended himself, "What do you know? Go try it yourselves and you’ll find out! That train is incredibly bizarre and terrifying. Furthermore, there are some instant death triggers; it’s not just a matter of being scary. I also accidentally fell for a trap because I was trying to find clues for the main quest. If it weren’t for the fact that Pet Beast sealing is enforced and summoning isn’t allowed inside..."

What followed was a string of babble that the people around him couldn’t understand—terms like "courage unrelated," "Pet Beast sealing," and "bloody train," a series of phrases that were completely incomprehensible to the bystanders.
