After the dragon deity fairy joined the party, Li Muyang’s monster-slaying progress sped up considerably.

    Even though he couldn’t control the dragon deity fairy’s character, having a LV99 max-level character in the party meant that even her automatic skill usage dealt significant damage.

    Li Muyang, currently at LV51, would take at least a dozen turns to defeat an opponent of the same level.

    However, with the dragon deity fairy in the party, she only needed to use her skills twice to end the battle.

    Such speed in monster slaying allowed Li Muyang’s level to soar rapidly.

    He soon reached LV70.

    After reaching LV70 and meeting powerful enemies, the dragon deity fairy’s monster-slaying speed slowed down a bit, no longer able to defeat opponents in one or two turns.

    But it was still much faster than Li Muyang fighting alone.

    Soon, Li Muyang’s level rose to LV85.

    By this time, there weren’t many NPCs left in Luoyang City, mostly well-known big shots.

    Even with the dragon deity fairy’s help, it took Li Muyang a long time to defeat an NPC.

    However, after pausing the game and glancing at the sky outside, Li Muyang saw that it was still early.

    So he comfortably dived back into the game, continuing to level up with the dragon deity fairy.

    This time, Li Muyang successfully raised his level to LV99, defeating all the high-ranking bosses, including Liu Guan Zhang and Grand General He Jin.

    Finally, he and the dragon deity fairy arrived at the imperial palace to challenge the final boss, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.

    In the previous final chapters, by the time Li Muyang reached the imperial palace, Emperor Ling had already been killed by evil spirits.

    Li Muyang had thought him to be a weakling.

    But facing Emperor Ling in person, Li Muyang died three times and had to reload three times before successfully defeating him.

    Standing in the great hall after Emperor Ling’s death, Li Muyang turned to the dragon deity fairy beside him.

    Throughout the monster-slaying and leveling process, the dragon deity fairy never initiated conversation, and there was no interaction with her at all.

    Both parties were like cold, monster-slaying robots.

    It wasn’t until after defeating Emperor Ling that the dragon deity fairy finally spoke.

    “You have purified all the resentment and lingering hatred in the city. Now, where is the emergence of the evil spirits you spoke of?”

    The dragon deity fairy asked Li Muyang.

    Li Muyang estimated the time and said, “About an hour from now.”

    【Mysterious fairy: ?】

    【Mysterious fairy: How long is an hour?】

    【Nanhua immortal: Half an incense stick’s burning time...】

    【Mysterious fairy: Very well, I shall wait for thee for half an incense stick’s burning time.】

    What followed was a wait.

    Li Muyang got out of bed and wandered around outside for a while, stretching his body.

    He had been gaming all night, and now the sky was a dim gray, almost dawn.

    【Clearance reward is available for collection, would you like to claim your reward?】

    【Current selectable rewards (choose one)】

    【《Kunpeng Secret Fragment》X1】

    【Low-grade spiritual forging tool X1】

    【Jade Marrow Spiritual Elixir X10】

    【Host, please note that after claiming the reward, the game entry will close and cannot be entered again】

    Li Muyang was somewhat surprised by the settlement rewards that popped up in his vision.

    Shouldn’t he have gotten a perfect S rating this time?

    He had almost perfectly cleared all the content in the game, the dragon deity fairy survived, and the army of resentful ghosts had all been purified, yet he only received an A rating?

    Although the rewards for this A rating were much stronger than those for the beginner’s tutorial, but why wasn’t it flawless?

    Could there be some hidden content in the game that he hadn’t unlocked?

    Li Muyang didn’t choose to claim the reward but instead, driven by curiosity, entered the game again.

    However, this time when he opened the game template, a new option suddenly popped up in his vision.

    【True Immersion Mode is now available, the host can enter Luoyang City in an immersive experience】

    【Would you like to enable True Immersion Mode?】

    【Yes/No】

    Seeing the option that popped up, Li Muyang let out a sigh of relief.

    “There was a hidden content!”

    So it turns out that after scoring an A rating in the game, a hidden mode could be unlocked.

    Clearly, one must successfully clear this true mode to unlock a flawless rating.

    Li Muyang didn’t hesitate and chose 【Yes】.

    The next second, that familiar feeling of being engulfed by darkness descended upon him.

    When the darkness faded away, Li Muyang opened his eyes to find himself standing in a sinister alley shrouded in white mist.

    The ground beneath his feet was crusted with dried blood, and eerie shadows roamed outside the alley.

    Three of these shadows seemed to sense Li Muyang’s presence and floated directly towards him.

    At the sight of these three shadows’ faces, Li Muyang was startled.

    “Are these the three thugs from the beginning of the game?”

    Why do they look so ugly?

    And why are they floating off the ground?
