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

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light, and Chu Hong and Wang Suming appeared in front of the light gate at the entrance to the secret realm.

Breathing in the fresh, earthy air outside, Wang Suming was still immersed in the joy of his immense harvest, unable to stop grinning foolishly.

"Brother Hong, how much do you think we can make from this? At least a million energy points..."

"Shut up!"

Chu Hong slapped him on the back of the head and lowered his voice.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Wang Suming then realized that this was a public area with many pioneers coming and going. He quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes, which were squinting into slits with a smile, still betrayed his mood at that moment.

The two had only taken a few steps when they encountered a group that was preparing to enter the secret realm.

Leading the way were none other than Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan.

Behind them followed Donald and two other pioneers.

It's really a narrow road.

When Wu Gang saw Chu Hong and Wang Suming, his previously smug expression suddenly froze.

The events that had just occurred in the armored vehicle not long ago involuntarily flashed through my mind.

Wang Suming has actually activated the source energy!

This made him lose his initial arrogance from the moment he entered the camp.

I was even a little uneasy.

however.

Just as they were finishing their preparations and getting ready to enter the secret realm, Chu Hong's group had already emerged.

Wu Gang, Liu Yanyan, and even the Falcon Pioneers team behind them, along with Donald's three escorts, were all visibly taken aback.

Donald glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"Less than fifteen minutes..."

Wu Gang also noticed this, and upon closer inspection of the two men, he could not even see any signs of a fight on them.

A hint of speculation immediately brought a smile to Wu Gang's face.

Arms crossed over the chest.

The tension vanished instantly, replaced by a strong sense of mockery and disdain.

"Hey, isn't this our Chu University's most handsome guy? You're out so quickly?"

"But this is a top student who applied to the Dragon Roar Sacred Academy, how come he came out in just ten minutes?"

He deliberately raised his voice, attracting the attention of many pioneers around him.

"Ten minutes, tsk tsk, they went in for a quick look and came out? They didn't even dare touch the container, did they?"

Liu Yanyan also realized what was happening, covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of mockery as she looked at Chu Hong.

"Chu Hong, I thought you had some backbone, but it turns out you're just a coward who runs into the map, doesn't even dare to touch it?"

"With your abilities, you still want to apply to the Dragon Roar Sacred Academy? You'd probably just find a corner to hide in once you're inside, wouldn't you?"

"Hey, Gangzi, what are you saying? People go in for a look around, and when they come out they can brag about being a candidate for the Dragon Roar Holy Academy. Whether they succeed or not is not important; it's enough to be a prestigious name in ordinary people's circles."

As she spoke, her words became increasingly harsh, and the pioneers around them looked at Chu Hong and Wang Suming with a mixture of pity and amusement.

however.

Faced with such a blatant and direct mockery, Wang Suming might have been so angry that he would have attacked someone an hour or even a few minutes ago.

But now...

He even smiled at Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan.

That smile carried an indescribable sense of superiority.

It's like a billionaire watching two beggars mocking his poverty.

Wu Gang's sarcasm was like a punch landing on cotton, light and ineffective.

"you......"

Wu Gang felt uneasy under Wang Suming's smile and inexplicably became irritated.

"Hey fatso, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Suming shrugged, said nothing, and just looked at the other person calmly with a "whatever makes you happy" look in his eyes.

Chu Hong was even more ruthless. He didn't even glance at Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan, and directly pulled Wang Suming aside to avoid them.

"Let's go, Fatty, to the trading area."

"Alright, Brother Hong!"

The two walked right past Wu Gang as if he didn't exist.

Wu Gang's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists.

"Stop pretending! What can you possibly gain in ten minutes? You don't even have source energy weapons, no escort, and you think you can take down the ordinary lizardmen inside with just a crappy rifle? You dare to act tough in front of me!"

Liu Yanyan also bit her lip, glaring resentfully at Chu Hong's back.

"Gangzi, ignore them. Let's go into the map. Once we bring out a bunch of high-level collectibles, let's see how arrogant they can be then!"

Wu Gang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Let's go! Enter the map!"

He strode into the portal.

The three members of the Falcon Pioneer team followed, but just before Donald stepped into the portal, they couldn't help but turn back and take a deep look at the backs of Chu Hong and his companion.

Behind the sunglasses, his eyes revealed a shrewdness and experience.

Why not touch the container before looking at the diagram?

Who would do something like this and carry such a huge backpack with 45 compartments? It would cost at least a million universal coins to buy.

......

The other side of the camp.

Song Jiao'er was sitting in a folding chair, looking at a magic-themed collectibles encyclopedia in her hand.

Beside her, five pioneers dressed in uniform combat gear were vigilantly observing their surroundings.

These are all elites of the Cube Merchant Guild, and each of them is at least at the seventh level of the Origin Realm.

"Young Miss, look over there."

One of the guards suddenly spoke in a low voice and gestured in a certain direction.

Song Jiao'er looked up and followed the direction the other person was pointing, and saw Chu Hong and Wang Suming who had just come out of the secret realm.

"Are they out?"

Song Jiao'er frowned slightly and glanced at the time.

ten minutes.

So fast?

She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the two of them.

"Chu Hong, Wang Suming, wait a moment."

Chu Hong stopped and turned around to see Song Jiao'er, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Song, the campus belle, what's up?"

Song Jiao'er walked up to the two of them, looked them over, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Is this your first time entering the secret realm?"

Chu Hong nodded: "Yes."

Song Jiao'er took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

"I know you applied to the Dragon Roar Holy Academy, and I am also aware of your initial skill levels... To be honest, with your current strength, it is almost impossible for you to pass the assessment."

She paused, then looked at the two of them intently.

"However, since we're all classmates, I can lend you a hand."

Chu Hong remained silent, raising an eyebrow with interest as he awaited further instruction.

"I have five escorts here, all of whom are at least at the seventh level of the Origin Realm and are very experienced. We will be entering the secret realm soon, but there won't be any intense large-scale battles; it will be a normal map search."

"You can come into the map with us. We'll give you two spots. You won't need to pay any escort fees, but all the collectibles you find in the dungeon will belong to our team."

"You just need to follow us, familiarize yourselves with the environment of the secret realm, and gain some experience."

After she finished speaking, she waited for Chu Hong's reply.

She was confident, not only because the Rubik's Cube Pioneers team was strong enough that if they were to pay for escorts, a single game would cost at least tens or hundreds of thousands of energy points, plus a share of the collected items.

This is absolutely not something that Chu Hong, an orphan, or Wang Suming, a rich second-generation from an ordinary family, could afford.

In her opinion, this was like a windfall.

Free training for new recruits, and it's free! You won't find another place like this in the entire Huangshan Base City.

however.

Chu Hong smiled.

That smile carried a hint of helplessness and a touch of amusement.

I thought it was something else, but it turns out they were just using the two brothers as extra backpacks.

He shook his head slightly, not angry at all. In fact, if the two of them were really as bad as Song Jiao'er thought, then this deal would really be a huge bargain for them.

"I appreciate your kindness, Song."

"but......"

He shook his head.

"No need."
