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

"I... I actually found a bright red one..."

Song Jiao'er's pretty face was radiant with the dazzling and dreamy "Eternal Flower" before her. After seeing that what she had touched was actually a large red flower, three times three, she was even more impressed.

He was so excited he almost couldn't breathe.

Almost instantly, she realized something.

"Chu Hong, quick, pack your things and let's get out of here!"

In the instant after the excitement, a strong sense of fear surged forth like a flood that breached the walls of her heart, causing Song Jiao'er's face to turn deathly pale.

The calves beneath the robe trembled slightly.

Even the researchers from the Palino Bio Group, who had remained indifferent to their actions from beginning to end and seemed like mere stickers, became alert.

"What if they suddenly attack us? Judging from the information on this item, it seems that this organization called the Palino Bio Group has been looking for this thing..."

Song Jiao'er gripped her staff tightly, ready to deal with any sudden attack.

How could Chu Hong not be nervous and excited?

Thirteen million Nine-Grid Red!

As far as I can remember, the most expensive Heart of Domination that I took out from the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] was only 12 million.

Chu Hong put the items directly into his backpack.

Right now, he desperately needs all sorts of red collectibles to enhance his strength.

He wouldn't politely refuse such a thing.

but.

"I will compensate you later."

Finding supplies is a bit of a mystery; he tried more than a dozen "scratch cards" and didn't get a single red one, while Song Jiao'er only tried one and got one.

And it's a super bright red like the "Eternal Flower"!

"It seems there's still a team blocking the evacuation point inside..." Song Jiao'er reminded him with great concern.

Chu Hong nodded.

Without Song Jiao'er needing to remind him, he had completely given up on acting at this point.

【Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface】Showcase Effect Activation.

In an instant, he could see all the activities of living things within a kilometer radius.

Meanwhile, on the hillside near the now-collapsed Ecological Observation Tower, several figures were found lying prone in the bushes, divided into two groups.

A team was stationed at a routine evacuation point.

One group had already set up sniper rifles at the newly appeared helicopter evacuation point in front of the [Waterfall Cave].

With such a commotion in the secret realm, instead of evacuating, do you intend to continue blocking the evacuation point?

It's true what they say, you have to love what you do...

A cold glint flashed in Chu Hong's eyes.

At any other time, he might exchange tips on blocking evacuation points with these "disciples and grand-disciples," but now that he is under immense influence, he really doesn't want any unexpected changes to happen.

Inside the Waterfall Cave, boss Cliff Young stood with his hands behind his back, watching the group's staff collect valuable research materials in the cave.

They did not react at all after seeing Chu Hong and the others.

Until Chu Hong stepped forward.

"Chief, there are people on the hillside outside trying to steal the group's assets..."

With a simple sentence, followed by the location information of the team blocking the evacuation point, a red light immediately lit up in Cliff Young's technological prosthetic eye.

He nodded slightly: "Don't worry, our soldiers will handle all the trouble."

Meanwhile.

Above the waterfall cave, halfway up the mountain.

Wearing ghillie suits and hidden in the bushes, the small team members with their sniper rifle scopes pointed at the helicopter extraction point were breathing heavily.

"This is an in-game benchmark mission! This team actually triggered a benchmark mission, and it looks like they've even completed it..."

"Their haul must be huge. Benchmark missions have a high chance of dropping red-quality collectibles. If we can keep them here, we'll be rich this time!"

"Wow! A red-quality collectible has been selected and given special attention upon entering Yuaneng University..."

They had such beautiful ideas.

They were even mentally prepared to get lost in the secret realm in order to wait for Chu Hong and his group to come out.

Even if we can't snatch it, we absolutely cannot let this team take the big red item out!

Jealousy is a cardinal sin; sometimes it can drive people to do anything, regardless of the cost, to annoy or upset others.

"They're coming! Someone's about to come out!"

"There are three of them. I'll snipe the fat guy in a bit. You two each identify your targets and make sure to kill him with one shot..."

With a click, the bullet was chambered.

All three immediately focused intently on preparing to fire.

however.

Just then, a faint white light emanating from the edge of the scope made their hearts tighten.

He quickly turned his head to look.

Several sniper rifles were pointed at them from afar, and the light emanating from their scopes made their hearts seem to stop beating.

"Bang!"

And just as the gunshot rang out...

On the opposite bank, several heavy cannons that had been set up suddenly opened fire.

Halfway up the mountain at the regular evacuation point.

The intense artillery fire instantly fell on the group of people who thought they were well hidden.

"Holy crap! Are these people crazy?! How did they even figure that out?!"

......

"Supplies: 4552"

Kill Score: 674

Elimination Score: 148

"It's only the first day of the assessment, and he's already leading by a wide margin... Although there's an element of blocking the evacuation point involved, this kid named Chu Hong's strength is completely incomparable to these new pioneers."

Assessment and Supervision Department.

On the floating screen above the huge conference table, a middle-aged man with meticulously combed hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and resembling a scholar, spoke.

Meanwhile, inside the Thousand Insect Village base city's secret realm examination hall, even Kong Mingde wore a cautious and nervous expression when facing this man who was much younger than him.

"Yes, Chief Long. Chu Hong's latest strength has already broken through to the seventh stage of the Origin Realm. Judging from his speed and the efficiency of his activities after entering the secret realm... he may be able to improve another stage before the end of the assessment."

The man nodded: "From activating source energy to now taking the assessment, a month has passed, and you've reached the eighth stage of the Origin Realm. That's indeed impressive talent, but this initial skill..."

The man's brows furrowed slightly after seeing Chu Hong's message.

Unranked skill [Investigate].

This is essentially no different from having no skills at all.

Kong Mingde hurriedly spoke up: "Although the initial skill has no grade, which is indeed quite low, it has already improved to the eighth stage of the Origin Realm so quickly, so it must have considerable potential. Perhaps when it enters the Source Energy University and completes its second awakening, it will awaken a very good second-level skill?"

However, the man shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"Inspector Kong, your idea is indeed good, but it is a matter of probability after all. Judging from the current situation, Chu Hong is able to get this score, which shows that he does have a certain talent in intelligence gathering and integration. However, I think his two teammates, especially the fat guy with the [Stacking] skill, played a greater role."

"The number of spots in the Rising Dragon Class is limited, so let's observe for now."

"This..." Kong Mingde's face immediately showed a hint of regret, and Jiang Xingdong also looked disappointed.

However, at that moment, the numbers on the screen displaying Chu Hong's real-time score in front of them suddenly jumped up again.

"Supplies: 6021"

Kill Score: 697

Elimination Score: 148

The sudden change startled everyone at first, but when they saw that the supply points had increased by more than a thousand in an instant, everyone gasped in shock.

"This...this is a single-game shipment of ten million energy points...it's a delivery?!"
