"Can this Spirit Ball capture Mist creatures up to E+ Rank?"
Seeing the information on the Spirit Ball, Chu He immediately thought of the Corpse King.
The opponent was an F+ Rank BOSS. If he had a Spirit Ball back then and the ability to severely injure it, forcing it into a weakened state, couldn't he have captured it?
Thinking of this, a look of joy appeared on Chu He's face.
If he could capture a powerful creature from the Mist Game, it would be a significant boost to his combat power.
Putting the Spirit Ball away, Chu He checked the relevant information about the Promotion Match through his wristwatch.
【Promotion Match Notice】
【1. The Promotion Match is divided into Solo Mode and Team Mode; players can choose freely.】
【2. The difficulty of the Solo Mode Promotion Match is at the player's current Rank, while the Team Mode Promotion Match difficulty is one Rank higher than the player's current Rank.】
【3. The Promotion Match must be completed within seven days. If it exceeds seven days, it will be considered a failure, and the player will be erased.】
【4. Players can start the Promotion Match at any time within the seven-day period.】
Seeing the information about the Promotion Match, Chu He decided to start it immediately.
As for the mode, he prepared to choose Team Mode.
The difficulty of Team Mode is one Rank higher than the player's current Rank, which means the difficulty would be E Rank.
Once inside an E Rank game, he could use the Spirit Ball to capture powerful Mist creatures.
However, when Chu He selected the team match, he saw a prompt appear on his wristwatch.
【There are currently no other players choosing Team Promotion Mode at this time. Would you like to wait?】
【When the number of players waiting for the Promotion Match reaches five, the Team Promotion Match will begin.】
【Within seven days, if there are not enough players, those waiting for the Promotion Match will be randomly assigned to an E Rank game to conduct their Promotion Match.】
【Current number of waiting players: 0】
Seeing this, Chu He felt somewhat helpless.
He actually had to wait for a Team Mode Promotion Match.
Although he would be assigned to an E Rank game for his Promotion Match if there weren't enough players within seven days,
seven days was too long; he didn't want to wait in vain and waste time.
The existence of Li Yi's family was a threat to him, and he had to improve his strength as much as possible.
If he could, he would play a Mist Game every day, or even multiple games a day; he wouldn't mind at all.
With no other choice, Chu He had to select the Solo Mode Promotion Match.
The Promotion Match game mission panel then appeared on his wristwatch.
【Promotion Match Started】
【Game Name: Guarding the Nightshade】
【Game Difficulty: F+】
【Game Type: Solo Guarding】
【Game Completion Condition: Guard the Nightshade Spirit and eliminate the incoming enemies.】
"A guarding-type game?"
"If this Nightshade Spirit dies, wouldn't my Promotion Match be a failure?" Chu He felt a bit depressed after seeing the Promotion Match information.
He found this kind of guarding mission quite troublesome.
After all, ensuring the target doesn't die is a difficult task in itself.
And since he was all alone, he was outnumbered.
However, since the game had already been issued, he couldn't change to a different Promotion Match.
He had no choice but to head toward the game location displayed on his game wristwatch.
This time, the game location was at Shenghe Plaza in the Old Urban Area of Yue City.
It was quite far from where he was currently staying.
After leaving, Chu He rode his electric scooter, pushing the speed to the maximum.
He arrived successfully ten minutes before the game started.
In the center of Shenghe Plaza, there used to be a fountain.
But now, there was only a pile of trash left inside it.
Chu He sat down on a bench in the plaza, waiting for the game to begin.
The ten minutes passed quickly.
The night sky suddenly brightened, turning into twilight.
The fountain disappeared, replaced by a black altar.
Lying on the altar was a little girl with black hair, a black dress, and small black leather boots, looking very well-behaved.
The difference was that her ears were pointed, much like the so-called elves.
She was currently in a deep sleep, with her hands crossed over her abdomen.
【Name: ???】
【Race: Nightshade Spirit】
【Rank: E+/C+（Rank temporarily lowered due to being in a weakened state）】
【Attributes: HP 100, ???】
【Talent: ???】
【Skill: ???】
Seeing the information about the Nightshade Spirit, Chu He was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect this little girl to be C+ Rank.
If she weren't in a weakened state, he would likely be no match for her at all.
Chu He clicked his tongue in secret.
The creatures in the Mist Game really couldn't be judged by common sense.
That such a cute and well-behaved girl could be so powerful was unbelievable to him.
And this time, he had to guard her and keep her alive.
But guarding her was no easy task; her HP was a pitiful one hundred points, and she could die at the slightest mishap.
"This is tough!" Chu He sighed.
He looked around the plaza.
The plaza was already shrouded by a red light screen; mist appeared outside the red light screen, while black mist surged inside it.
The monsters were about to attack.
Chu He licked his lips, took out the Burning Medal, and put it on.
Then he put on his Security Guard Uniform and took his Riot Baton, preparing to deal with the incoming enemies.
But just then, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
He looked at the Nightshade Spirit sleeping on the black altar.
"The capture condition for the Spirit Ball is an E+ Rank creature in the Mist Game that is in a weakened state."
"This Nightshade Spirit's original strength is C+ Rank, but now she is in a weakened state, and her strength has dropped to E+ Rank."
"Can I use the Spirit Ball to capture her?" Chu He's expression became somewhat excited.
Once this thought occurred to him, he immediately took out the Spirit Ball.
If he succeeded, then once she recovered her strength, he would essentially have a powerful C+ Rank helper.
If he failed, he would only lose one Spirit Ball.
The gain from success and the loss from failure were not even on the same scale.
Chu He decided to take the gamble.
Chu He took a deep breath and placed the Spirit Ball on the Nightshade Spirit's forehead.
In an instant, the Spirit Ball emitted a burst of white light.
The Nightshade Spirit's body disappeared.
At the same time, the Spirit Ball also vanished.
【Congratulations, you have successfully captured the Nightshade Spirit.】
【The Master-Servant Contract between you and the Nightshade Spirit has been established.】
【Given that you have obtained a Follower, the Follower Space has been opened.】
In the depths of his consciousness, Chu He felt a peculiar space.
In that space, the Nightshade Spirit was lying quietly, fast asleep.
"It actually worked!" Chu He's face showed a look of wild joy, and he exclaimed excitedly.
Trading an F Rank Spirit Ball for a C+ Rank Follower was an absolute steal.
The most crucial part was that the Nightshade Spirit was now lying in the Follower Space; as long as Chu He didn't summon her, she wouldn't suffer any harm.
This way, he could kill enemies in the Promotion Match without any worries.
Killing two birds with one stone!
