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

The familiar starry sky, the familiar crystal control panel, and the meteorite clusters constantly flying past in front of me.

Chu Hong effortlessly took out the dazzling-grade figurine, [Doctor Doom Hoffman], which he had obtained in this game.

【Ding! 】

[A dazzling collectible item, "Doctor Doom Hoffman," has been discovered. Should you add it to your collection?]

On the console, a new option to place the object appeared, and a star with an empty square in the middle appeared on the other side of the panel.

Chu Hong nodded.

The largest and most expensive figurine he had taken out immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew into the star under Chu Hong's gaze.

[Collectible]: Doctor Doom Hoffman

[Divine Item Fusion Degree]: 1%

[Activation Effect]: lv1, can freely access the affairs of various departments of the [Special Operations Division], serve as the "Head of the Research and Development Department", and can follow the operators entered by the [Special Operations Division], and freely enter and exit the [Special Operations Division].

[Restrictions on Fusion Level Increase]: "Dr. Doom Hoffman" does not require active fusion; the fusion level can be increased autonomously through research into various biological genetic technologies or energy engineering technologies. Fusing with "Dr. Doom Hoffman" again will directly increase the fusion level by 50%.

Chu Hong's eyes flashed with joy when he saw that this "Doctor Doom Hoffman" did not need to grind for various golden and red lightning-attribute collectibles to increase the fusion level like the [Lightning Strike Divine Disc].

However, upon seeing that the panel did not provide any detailed information about "Dr. Doom Hoffman," he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Brother Tongzi, how strong can this 'Colorful' level Dr. Hoffman be? He's supposed to be 'Colorful' level, after all..."

【Ding! 】

"Dr. Hoffman's source energy level is the ninth stage of the Core Condensation Realm, but his source energy level is far from his actual combat ability."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, immediately after seeing the description of the Special Operations Division, it was mentioned that Dr. Hoffman could move freely within the Special Operations Division and could even go out with the operators.

Chu Hong couldn't help but rub his chin.

A bold, but not impossible, idea popped into his mind.

Then it quickly took shape.

When Chu Hong came out of the [Divine Item Collection Room], he saw a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and glasses, who exuded a strong scholarly aura and a noble demeanor.

He was standing there, taking in his surroundings.

"Dr. Hoffmann..."

Chu Hong tentatively spoke, and the latter turned his head. Upon seeing Chu Hong again, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Commander, it's a pleasure to meet you. From now on, I will be the research and development director of the Special Operations Division. If you have any needs, please let me know, and I will design solutions and develop what you need."

Hoffman said that there was absolutely no sign of any abnormality on his body.

Its skin is the standard color of Western Europeans, its hands are not the ferocious wolf claws found in the secret realm, and it does not have the domineering tentacles on its back...

This made Chu Hong breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It would be nice to be able to freely switch between battle mode and daily mode.

In this way, his plans and arrangements can proceed normally.

Meanwhile, Chu Hong was discussing matters related to the "Clifftop Plague Hospital" with Dr. Hoffman, mainly focusing on Chu Hong's attempts to probe the memories of these special "personnel."

In a flash of white light, Luo Yi appeared in the Special Operations Division after being summoned by Chu Hong through the authority of the Special Operations Division commander.

After Chu Hong introduced the identity of the somewhat familiar middle-aged man in front of him...

Luo Yi's mouth gaped open in astonishment.

"This... Captain, you mean, from now on, this... Dr. Hoffman will be working with me to manage the forbidden substance research base?"

Chu Hong held up one finger: "Wrong! It's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid you have a lot to learn, and there's a very high probability that you can only serve as Dr. Hoffman's assistant."

Luo Yi: "..."

People who use cheats don't need to be polite to us ordinary folks!

He watched as Chu Hong took out two [Brain Domain Reading Devices] and handed them directly to him.

"With this, you and Lao Tang can keep in touch and collect some electronic information research data. You'll be able to improve quickly. Besides the research the base needs, I think we can definitely take bigger steps now..."

Chu Hong, with an air of authority, began to speak eloquently, recounting his grand ambitions to Luo Yi, who was staring in astonishment.

"My teacher is now the dean of Tiangong Academy, and my future father-in-law runs a small but absolutely stable collectibles trading company. You and Lao Tang both understand the rules of the pioneer team, plus Xu Daili can provide synthesis."

"I believe we can absolutely grow and become stronger..."

......

It was rather rudimentary, with many places showing obvious earthen and stone structures, making it look exactly like an underground space where wanted criminals would hide.

A burst of white light appeared.

The figures of Loewe and Hoffman appeared out of thin air here.

"Um, Dr. Hoffman, this is how it is here for now..."

A strange figure wearing a bird-beak mask and a wide cloak was shaking a bell in his hand while controlling a series of undead, using various engineering tools to modify the place.

Excavating tunnels, reinforcing structures...

however.

Dr. Hoffman glanced at it and immediately shook his head.

"Crazy Plague, you probably don't understand architecture, do you? This isn't how you build underground fortifications. Putting aside the research that follows, if the energy fluctuations are too great, won't it be detected by outsiders? With your construction method, an earthquake would cause irreversible damage to the interior."

Luo Yi felt somewhat embarrassed.

Previously, he had only modified a section of the city's abandoned underground pipe network.

Now, however, they are digging out of thin air in a desolate mountain dozens of miles outside the Xialong base city.

Dr. Hoffman glanced at the corpses controlled by the [Sad Raven].

She adjusted her glasses slightly.

The energy fluctuations emanating from these monsters seemed to be somewhat different from those of the mutated zombies he had studied...

......

Early the next morning.

Senior Sister Tao and several senior students, including Wei Boxue, arrived early at the Big Dog Chew Chew Chew Chew team's base. Accompanying them were Wang Xinghai, a third-generation rich kid, and... Wang Xingling, the younger sister of the Wang family.

I rang the doorbell, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside.

Just as Tao Xuejie and the others felt a sudden jolt of anxiety, wondering if the people from Longming Holy Academy had come to kidnap them again last night, the villa's door finally clicked open.

Chu Hong walked out and his eyes lit up when he saw Senior Tao, who was wearing thick black shoes, and the cute and sweet Wang family sister.

"Oh, Senior Tao, Sister Xingling, what brings you here..."

Wei Boxue and Wang Xinghai exchanged a glance, watching as this person didn't even bother to act, completely ignoring them and focusing all their enthusiasm on the two beauties.

He couldn't help but shrug.

Fortunately, neither of them had met Chu Hong for the first time.

Upon entering the villa, both Tao Xuejie and Wei Boxue were once again shocked by the luxurious furnishings inside.

However, Wei Boxue and Wang Xinghai exchanged a glance, looking at the blonde, slender figure of [Ba Xiaoying] who had clearly just finished cleaning.

I could faintly hear the sounds of bathing coming from upstairs.

They all wore expressions that every man understood.

As expected of Junior Brother Chu (Brother Hong)!
