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

【Da Hong Collection Room】.

When Chu Hong placed the [Original Little Ape] figurine into the display case.

[Collectible]: Original Little Ape

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can be used non-immersively in the secret realm to assist in combat and searching; once the original Little Ape dies, it cannot be summoned again in this round.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500w Energy Points, [Original Little Ape] *3

Collectibles of red quality, still in the figurine category, start at level 1.

A figure, shrunk several times in size within the Special Operations Division but still roughly the same height as Chu Hong, suddenly appeared beside him.

"Chop chop chop"

"Zha Zha Zha"

The two gold-quality [Ba Xiaoying] and [Ba Xiaohua], who were brought into the secret realm by Chu Hong in the earliest days, are now unable to keep up with Chu Hong's growth rate.

It became Chu Hong's mascot, keeping him company and amusing him in the Special Operations Division.

At this moment, the two little ones, looking curiously from the left and right, stared at the suddenly appearing gorilla. [Ba Xiaohua] used the large needle in her hand to prick [Yuan Xiaoyuan]'s boot.

"From now on, I'll be relying on you all to fight alongside me in the secret realms..."

Chu Hong nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from the energy fluctuation level, [Yuan Xiaoyuan] is even higher than [Ke Xiaoken].

【Ke Xiaoken】is at the sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

However, [Yuan Xiaoyuan] was a full-fledged Ninth Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Chu Hong stroked his chin, looking at the display case of [Ke Xiaoken].

"Looks like I'll have to make more trips to the top-secret [Clifftop Plague Hospital] after I enroll, at least to help Kelvin level up..."

Ignore the interaction between the figures.

Chu Hong went straight to an empty display case.

Take out the gold bar from your backpack.

As he placed the gold bar inside, the effect of the display case was immediately revealed to him.

[Collectibles]: Gold Bars

[Display Case Level]: lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

Upgrade Requirements: 100w Energy Points, 1 Gold Bars

[Collectibles]: Gold Bars

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Cost of Paid Evacuation Point - 10000 Energy Points

Upgrade Requirements: 500w Energy Points, 3 Gold Bars

"Frog Fun! You can play like this?!"

Looking at the display case of the gold bars, Chu Hong's eye twitched violently.

He had previously speculated about what the display case for the gold bars would look like.

He speculated that it might be an increase in some kind of physical fitness.

But I never expected it.

This thing is actually an "in-game paid evacuation point coupon"!

Chu Hong was at a loss for words.

Generally speaking.

Not all secret realms have paid evacuation points, and even if they do, a paid evacuation for a normal level costs about 1 energy points, a secret level costs 4, and a top secret level is said to cost 10.

"In other words, if I play on a normal-level map in the future, the paid withdrawal option will become a regular withdrawal option here..."

It's fair to say it's somewhat of a dud.

But something is better than nothing.

Perhaps in the future, we can improve the display case's effectiveness and offer larger "coupons".

This display case is so effective that it can shine even in a top-secret, secret setting.

When Chu Hong came out of the Special Operations Division.

When I came out of the room again and went to Song Jiao'er's room, she was still lying on the bed, fast asleep.

"Hmph, you little brat..."

With a smug smile, Chu Hong simply told Uncle Fu and went out to get down to business for the day.

......

The old residential area where Chu Hong's family lives.

When Chu Hong reappeared in front of Xu Daili disguised as Yanzu, the latter was so excited that she almost cried.

"You bastard, where have you been these past few days? Your communicator isn't working..."

Chu Hong looked at Xu Daili, whose hair was a little messy and whose eyes were somewhat red and swollen.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was simply worried that his "meal ticket" would run away, people who didn't know better would think that Chu Hong had used this woman and then abandoned her.

He rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"Pack up, Old Tang will be here in a bit, and I have something to announce..."

Seeing Xu Daili's eyes widen in alarm, Chu Hong glared at her irritably.

"Don't worry, you're not unemployed! And I'm not bankrupt!"

Only then did Xu Daili finally feel at ease.

Just as Xu Daili was getting ready to wash up.

While waiting for Donald, Chu Hong glanced at the pile of things stacked in the corner of the room.

Daikin's high-precision silicon-based 3D printing equipment can be used to produce the [Flying Bird Drone].

Another task was a synthesis mission that Chu Hong had previously assigned to Xu Daili.

[Item Name]: "Hoffmann Special Ammunition" Production Station

[Item Level]: Gold

Value: 664,186

[Type]: Production Tools

【Weight】: 271kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 5×6

[Item Description]: A complete integrated ammunition production workbench, capable of producing everything from cartridge cases and primers to propellants and warheads. It can also produce a special type of ammunition specifically designed to counter "Ω virus infected"—the Hoffman Special Ammunition!

"You actually managed to synthesize this thing?!"

Seeing Xu Daili come out of the bathroom after washing up, still drying her hair, Chu Hong was pleasantly surprised.

Xu Daili just pursed her lips.

"I finished this three or four days ago, intending to surprise you, but you've vanished like that... If you don't show up in a few more days, I'm already planning to sell this thing for energy points!"

A strong sense of resentment.

At this moment, Chu Hong could only smile and keep up appearances for his precious child.

"Oh dear, I was held up by something important, Dai Li. You know me, everything I do is for our team!"

"We are a team! A family!"

Looking at this handsome guy, who was making a scene again, Xu Daili rolled her eyes slightly.

I couldn't be bothered to listen to this guy's nonsense anymore.

"So, my dear captain's sudden visit to my humble abode must be for some other instruction, right? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Chu Hong: "..."

Chu Hong's eye twitched slightly, and he stopped wasting his breath.

He placed the backpack he had brought on his back directly on the table.

Then they took out two more items separately.

One of them is the purple-quality [Hunting Lock Gun] used by Wang Suming.

The other is a bony spike with a grotesque, alien-like texture.

These were the two small gold pieces that Chu Hong had previously obtained from the ruler of the [Clifftop Plague Hospital].

[Dominate Blackthorn].

"These materials in my backpack are what I've collected recently. They're some items that can upgrade the [Hunting Lockgun]. You can use them as crafting materials to upgrade the [Hunting Lockgun] from purple quality to gold..."

Xu Daili's eyes widened.

Looking at Chu Hong, she said, "So you're not planning to have me combine that gold-quality weapon with this gold-quality Black Thorn, are you?"

Chu Hong nodded.

"That's right! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Xu Daili pursed her lips, seemingly pondering something: "How long until the results?"

"Three days!"

"Three days?!" Xu Daili's eyes widened, her voice sharp and high-pitched, as if she were looking at Chu Hong as if he were a fool.

"What do you take my synthesis skill for? Something I can synthesize however I want?! That consumes source energy, and besides..."

Besides, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Xu Daili's eyes immediately softened and became tender after she saw something suddenly appear in Chu Hong's hand.

"Besides what?" Chu Hong said with a smile.

He held a gleaming gold watch in his hand, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"Oh, Captain~" Xu Daili's voice was melodious, with a hint of the accent of a woman from the Wu region.

"What do you mean, 'besides'? What do you mean, 'besides'? Captain, you must have misheard. It's just three days, right? As long as we have enough materials, three days won't be a problem at all..."

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Daili stepped forward to open the door.

"Hehe, I heard you went missing. I thought I could retire."

Ever since that trip with Chu Hong to the [Clifftop Plague Hospital], where they intercepted the Black Hole Council and brought back a wealth of valuable information about the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] for the base city...

The painful memory of his teammate's tragic death in the secret realm was temporarily put aside.

He was even in the mood to joke with Chu Hong.

After Donald sat down, they exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

Chu Hong finally revealed his true purpose.

"I'm preparing to take our entire team and head to Xialong Base City in the Central District."
