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

Xu Daili suddenly appeared and let out a loud, excited shout, startling everyone.

However, everyone's gaze immediately turned to the gem that was shining with purple light in the other person's hand.

【Agares's Devil's Eye】!

The second one!

Chu Hong recalled that the effect of the level 1 display case seemed to be that after entering a secret realm where demons existed, he could control and command some demons whose strength was lower than his.

Unfortunately, he hasn't included this type of secret realm yet.

Xu Daili was holding a "Devil's Eye of Agares" while singing and dancing.

Chu Hong, however, looked at the person who appeared at the same time as her.

It must be Luo Xin, the girl who went to [Secret Ghost Town] with her team.

The latter's face was flushed, which made Chu Hong's heart skip a beat.

No way...

"Captain, the drop rate is so high this round! I got so many reds!"

Chu Hong seemed to faintly hear the sound of something shattering.

My gaze casually drifted to the side and I saw Old Comrade Donald, who had been holding the [Dimensional Ring], ready to argue with Xu Daili and the others and win back the score.

His smile froze on his face.

Luo Xin, however, took things out of her backpack one by one in front of everyone.

【"Wooden Man" Whistle】

Chu Hong had already activated the level 1 display case effect for this item.

[Collectible]: "Wooden Man" Whistle

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can be used 3 times per game. Whistling at a target within a 50-meter radius reduces the speed of all nearby units by 30%.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500 million Energy Points, 3 "Wooden Man" Whistle

Luo Xin continued to rummage through her backpack.

[Ghost Peach] *2

[Mocking Red Nose] *1

[Centennial Wild Ginseng] *1

Then... when Luo Xin pulled out a purplish-blue severed hand from her backpack, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, Chu Hong could no longer contain his shock at the girl's drop rate.

"Hiss... [Hand of Heresy]?!"

Chu Hong gasped sharply.

"Xiaoxin, you...you found the key?"

This [Hand of Heresy] seems to only spawn in the [Underground Material Storage Room].

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded, and a flash of red light appeared in her hand, revealing a dark red [Underground Material Storage Room Key].

"I heard from Uncle Tang that keys from the Ghost Town map can spawn in the drawers of the table inside the Old Village Chief's House. I check there every time. This time, Sister Xu found the Demon's Eye, so I thought the drop rate seemed pretty good..."

Luo Xin recounted the story as if it were a treasure trove, completely unaware of the immense harm she had unintentionally caused to the elderly man.

What does that mean?

Old man, I just parted ways with you guys, and you've already pulled out a big shipment?

This makes me look like a jinx...

Donald's smile vanished...

Good guy!

Chu Hong immediately executed a head-holding, leaning-back tactic.

The drop rate is even higher than the last time they entered. It's definitely because some unknown big shot has manipulated the drop rate of the [Normal Level Ghost Town].

"Captain, now you can upgrade several more display cases. The [Ghost Peach] display case should be upgradable to level 2, right?"

When Luo Xin said this, she seemed even more excited than Chu Hong.

Luo Yi, the older brother watching from the side, had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Chu Hong took a deep breath, then glanced at Xu Daili, who was stuffing the [Agares Demon Eye] directly into her ample bosom, as if afraid he would ask for it.

He pursed his lips.

Ha! My little Xin will be able to bring me a whole basketful of those things in the future!

He led the way toward the [Big Red Collection Room].

Just as Luo Xin said, this time we really can upgrade several display cases.

First, walk to the display case of the "Ghost Peach".

There's one item in stock in the warehouse, plus the two that Luo Xin brought back today.

【Ding! 】

Upgrade: "Ghost Peach" display case lv1→lv2

[Requires 500 million Source Energy Points and 3 "Ghost Immortal Peaches"]

[Upgrade confirmed?]

Chu Hong nodded: "Confirmed!"

Within the display case, light shines forth!

[Collectible]: Ghost Fairy Peach

[Display Case Level]: lv2

[Activation Effect]: In-game "Plague" and "Yin Sha Qi" energy invasion type debuffs are nullified.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 1000 million Energy Points, 10 Ghost Peaches

Everyone who saw this new information was stunned.

Especially Luo Yi.

Looking at Chu Hong, Luo Yi's eyes were filled with intense fear. This is cheating! If this isn't cheating, Luo Yi would have devoured the entire underground pipe network of Xia Long Base City!

The game ignores debuffs of the "epidemic" and "yin evil energy" types. One of the major methods Luo Yi uses in the game is the smoke-type biological virus that he concocted himself.

If this were also classified as an "epidemic"... the image is too disturbing for Luo Yi to contemplate.

Luo Yi was filled with relief that he didn't have to make enemies with a cheat like Chu Hong.

Luo Xin, however, was overjoyed upon seeing this message.

"Great! Captain, quickly check out the others, check out the other display cases..."

Chu Hong nodded and went to the display case containing a [mocking red nose].

Upgrade your display cases!

[Collectible]: Mocking Red Nose

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Targets hit by your attacks in-game will have their face changed to "Clown Red Nose" for 5 minutes.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500 million Source Points, [Taunt Red Nose] *3

What the hell!

This effect... isn't very harmful, but it's extremely insulting!

Everyone could almost picture the comical sight of a group of people on the opposing side suddenly sporting clown-like red noses during a future battle.

"Pfft..." Song Jiao'er, who has a low threshold for laughter, covered her mouth and turned her back.

His shoulders, however, kept shrugging.

Chu Hong and the others exchanged glances, and a meaningful "Sun Ce Gongjin smile" appeared on their faces.

"Ahem, I suggest you prepare a group skill, Captain. It doesn't deal much damage, but it has a large area of ​​effect. The enemy won't dodge it, so the 'attack hit' judgment will be very easy."

Donald cleared his throat and said with a smile.

Next up is the [Centennial Mountain Ginseng].

[Collectible]: Century-old wild ginseng

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can be used once per game, granting immunity to one debuff effect on the current body during the game.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500W Energy Points, 3 Century-Old Ginseng Items

Chu Hong's eyes lit up; this effect was fantastic.

Putting everything else aside... after the superpower [Slaughter Overlord] was fully unleashed for a long time, the excruciating pain and weakness that ran through my entire body would never have to be experienced again.

Everyone's gaze slowly turned to the last item.

[The Hand of Heresy and Evil Thoughts]...
