All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

The effect of the "Golden Apple" display case exceeded Chu Hong's expectations.

However, it must be said that the fact that the explosive power of this apple is directly proportional to the input source already demonstrates the power and potential of this effect.

"One per minute, that's at least 60 per game, and..." Chu Hong's lips curled up slightly.

"I also have the effect of the [Premium Gold Watch] lv1 display case. It can instantly end the skill cooldown 3 times in a single game. In other words, when facing unexpected situations, I can instantly take out three Golden Apples when I run out of two."

Chu Hong's smile gradually turned sinister.

In this way, he can finally say goodbye to the embarrassing situation where he could only use ungraded [Magnetic Bombs] to tickle monsters.

"Okay, okay, we still need to collect big red potions. With these, we can save on skills and equipment."

In an exceptionally good mood, Chu Hong admired the gleaming golden apple in the display case for a long time before finally taking out the brand-new bright red apple he had acquired on this trip.

Golden Money Tree!

The moment it placed this bright red garment into the display case, a soft yellow light shone upon it.

In an instant.

The lifelike golden leaves moved swiftly without wind, and the golden light shone on the copper-red trunk, making it look like a divine tree.

"The leaves are golden, the trunk is red! What a beautiful meaning!"

[Collectible]: Golden Money Tree

[Display Case Level]: lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

[Upgrade Requirements]: 100w Energy Points, [Golden Leaf Money Tree] *1

[Collectible]: Golden Leaf Money Tree

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: For every gold-quality collectible you find in a container during the game, the probability of finding a red-quality collectible while searching containers increases by 1% in the same game.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500w Energy Points, [Golden Leaf Money Tree] *3

Chu Hong gasped, staring blankly at the information on the panel in front of him. He checked it several times before he was sure he hadn't misread it.

Touching Little Gold increases the probability of obtaining red-quality collectibles?!

Although it's only 1%.

No matter how you look at it, the effect is still quite mysterious.

But this is the effect of a level 1 display case!

What if the display case is level 2, or even level 3?!

Chu Hong dared not imagine, but at this moment he understood without a doubt why, in the two benchmark missions, this [Golden Leaf Money Tree], worth more than eight million source energy points, was able to rank first alongside the [Mother of the Forest], which was worth tens of millions!

The Mother of the Forest brings a second life.

The Golden Money Tree truly brings wealth that is more valuable than mere wealth!

Chu Hong was about to enter the secret realm again.

The soul of the knife runner is already burning fiercely.

however.

A sudden reminder from the Special Operations Division made him pause in his tracks.

【Ding! 】

[Host has been detected to have unlocked the red-quality secondary weapon "Biohazard Suppression 93R"]

[Host has been detected to have unlocked the red-quality primary weapon "Inheritor SV-98"]

[Special Weapons Department Unlocked]

Chu Hong was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, information about this suddenly unlocked department appeared in my mind.

[Special Weapons Department: Provides the host with specialized trial and training missions targeting red-quality weapons, allowing the host to truly become one with the weapon]

Chu Hong was bewildered. What was all this about?

What does it mean...?

Integrating with weapons?

Suddenly, Chu Hong's pupils contracted slightly.

Just as a horrified guess surfaced in his mind, in front of him stood a newly opened roller shutter door bearing the insignia of the "Special Weapons Department".

A screen of light illuminated.

[Weapon Trial Mission]: "Biohazard Suppression 93R" - Enter the Game

[Task Transaction Fee]: 10 Energy Points

[Mission Item Provided]: 120 rounds of blue-quality 9×19mm ammunition.

【Mission Objective】: Equip only the weapon "Biohazard Suppression 93R" to enter any classified or higher investigation area and kill 40 enemy targets with headshots.

[Mission Reward]: Can be brought into battle without skin, retains the effects of red-quality weapons, and will not be lost upon death or getting lost in the game.

"Holy crap... Brother Tong, aren't you being a little too considerate? You're making me feel embarrassed to wear pants here anymore."

Special Operations Division: "..."

Chu Hong was almost moved to tears!

Heaven help him, he has rarely used the red-quality weapon since he obtained it.

The main problem is that there's no opportunity.

When he was in the Special Operations Division, Paodao was so scared that he dropped his weapon.

Once inside the real-world secret realm, he couldn't explain the origin of this thing. He only had the opportunity to use it when he entered the secret realm alone and fought against the Black Hole Council.

Then came the top-tier weapon, [Biochemical Suppression 93R].

In his eyes, it was a case of a pearl being covered in dust.

His heart pounded with excitement.

He hurriedly looked at the trial mission for another weapon.

[Weapon Trial Mission]: "Inheritor SV-98" - Enter the Game

[Task Transaction Fee]: 10 Energy Points

[Mission Item Provided]: 60 rounds of gold-quality 7.62×54Rmm ammunition.

【Mission Objective】: Equip only the weapon "Inheritor SV-98" to enter any classified or higher investigation area and kill 40 enemy targets with headshots.

[Mission Reward]: Can be brought into battle without skin, retains the effects of red-quality weapons, and will not be lost upon death or getting lost in the game.

Special Operations Division: "Paying the processing fee constitutes acceptance of the trial mission. This means that even if you perish in a secret realm of classified level or higher during the mission, your special weapons will not be lost. If you accept the mission again after failure, you will need to pay the fee again."

The Special Operations Division, which had been scolded countless times by Chu Hong for the issue of the recycling price of the collectibles, suddenly let out a mournful and extremely ashamed wail.

Faintly, one could also hear the sound of kneeling.

"Waaaaah, Brother Tongzi, no! Godfather! Waaaaah, I'm not human!"

......

"Is he even human? It's almost noon, and he's still sleeping?!"

In reality, at the Thousand Insect Village base city, within the Black Iron Castle assessment area.

The top leaders at the meeting were still chatting about the events of the past few days, or discussing which base city they favored this year.

A sudden, startled, and angry slam of the table interrupted everyone's conversation.

Jiang Xingdong looked embarrassed and quickly pulled his old friend back.

"Old Kong, hey, don't..."

Kong Mingde, Professor of Fierce Attack Theory at Iron Wall Energy University, a veteran pioneer at the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm, an external inspector for the Great Xia Energy Assessment, a special editor of the Pigeon Court, and the honorary city lord of Huangshan Base City...

Any one of these titles would be enough to earn the title of honored guest of a city lord.

Everyone looked over curiously.

Then Kong Mingde made a series of gestures towards the air in front of him. Before Jiang Xingdong could stop him, a handsome young man lying on the bed and fast asleep appeared in a light projection.

"I've looked at this kid's file. His character is good, but his personality... isn't it just too lazy? Calling him lazy is an understatement! Look at these new recruits, every single one of them is nervous and taking the assessment seriously. Everyone is either researching information about the secret realm, deduce battle plans, or preparing equipment strategies. And him...?"

Jiang Xingdong looked embarrassed and pulled his old friend aside: "Why are you so agitated? I didn't say I wanted to get in through your back door or anything. Didn't you ask me who I'm optimistic about this year?"

Kong Mingde stared wide-eyed, but his eyes were filled with more sorrow as he looked at his close comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him on the battlefield.

"He's already at level six in Source Energy after just taking the assessment. He's quite an impressive kid..." Someone looked at Chu Hong's profile and nodded slightly in evaluation.

"Even if someone at the sixth level of the Origin Realm rests and does nothing today, and then acts conservatively and gathers intelligence after entering the secret realm when the assessment begins tomorrow, they'll still be quite capable... Brother Kong is overreacting a bit."

The speaker was Wang Guangyi, the city lord of Qianchongzhai base city.

He smiled at Jiang Xingdong: "Brother Jiang, have you taken a liking to this kid named Chu Hong and want to take him on as a student?"

Jiang Xingdong smiled bitterly: "With my old bones shattered and my source core broken, I even have to step down as the city lord of Huangshan Base City. How can I possibly teach students now?"

He shook his head repeatedly.

However, at this moment, a pair of cloudy eyes looked at Chu Hong, who was fast asleep on the bed in the light screen and did not seem to feel any pressure from the assessment, and there was a clear look of admiration for his talent in his eyes.

Seeing this, Kong Mingde felt a pang of sorrow for his old friend, and looking at Chu Hong in the light screen, he felt even more disappointed in him.

however.

Chu Hong, who was completely unaware of this at the moment, stood on the east bank of the classified Primitive No. 1 River Valley, on the Ecological Observation Tower, looking with a playful smile at the monkey head that had been captured by the scope.

The latter was there at that moment, holding an upside-down women's magazine and reading it intently.

A greasy and strange bubbly sound came from Chu Hong's throat.

"Ohh~ baby~"

"Why aren't you moving? If you don't move, then I'm going to move!"

"Bang!"
