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

"Commander, although it's almost impossible for the Amaterasu Kingdom to detect our connection channel, we still entered the secret realm according to the secret realm's matching mechanism. If the Amaterasu Kingdom uses a fixed group entry mechanism at the secret realm entrance... due to our addition, their designated squad will have one extra squad."

"So... they would know that someone had trespassed into their private territory, but they would have no way to investigate."

Dr. Hoffman adjusted his glasses and spoke seriously.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong simply smiled dismissively.

So what if you know?

For ordinary people like Lao Liu, such investigations or prevention might play a certain role.

So, when he, the cheater, chose the strategy with the most comments, he...

How should we deal with these small cabinets?

After giving a few casual instructions, Chu Hong, without any hesitation, walked directly into the energy radiation range of the [Satellite Signal Guidance Beacon] under Dr. Hoffman's guidance.

The white teleportation light completely enveloped him.

next second.

"Whoosh—!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

【Heart-Slaying Dojo】.

"Your Holiness, everyone has arrived..."

Masami Yasumoto nodded slightly and glanced around.

There are eight teams in total.

Each of them was a full squad, and the weakest member of each squad was at least at the first or second stage of the Core Condensation Realm.

"Today's main objective is to defeat the boss, Rebirth Beyond the Shore. All teams, upon entering the dungeon, immediately confirm communication connections and then assemble near the [Clinic] as quickly as possible!"

"Hi!"

Yasumoto Masami doesn't need to say much; they've carried out this kind of operation far too many times.

Those who were selected early on to participate in today's operation were all elite members or outstanding talents of the [Heart-Slaying Sword Path].

"Everyone! Enter the secret realm!"

In reality, the [Top Secret - Saihe Village] is located in a valley, surrounded by a barrier. At the entrance is a dark blue stone signpost with the words "Saihe Village" written on it.

On the mountainsides surrounding this secret realm, flags and people associated with the "Heart-Slaying Sword Path" can be seen everywhere.

As everyone was enveloped in white light, they disappeared amidst the expectant or envious gazes of the crowd... Wait!

"What?! What happened? Why didn't the Ishii squad go in?"

At this moment, the white light from the teleportation in the secret realm dissipated, and everyone else disappeared, leaving only five figures looking around in confusion.

Meanwhile.

Reality [Top Secret - Saihe Village]

Chu Hong landed, glanced around, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his lips.

"Land at [the bridge entrance west of the village] and block evacuation point number one..."

He murmured to himself, but immediately took action.

They rushed into the regular evacuation point area at the intersection on the other side of the bridge as soon as possible.

[Anti-Tank Infantry Mine] Level 1 Showcase Effect, Activate!

A phantom image of an "anti-tank infantry mine" appeared in his hand, following Chu Hong's thought.

The phantom transformed into a beam of light and entered the ground at the evacuation point.

Not a single trace was left.

"Hehehe, the bomb is installed!"

Chu Hong nodded in satisfaction, his mind filled with images of the small cabinets. After entering the evacuation point, he was astonished to see that the evacuation time had increased from 10 seconds to 40 seconds, leaving him with an inexplicable extra 30 seconds.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Within the display case of [Cobweb Brain Machine], the sounds of the team moving eastward could be heard nearby.

Chu Hong was not surprised at all.

Since it is a top-secret secret realm, and there is no need to consider the existence of other hostile pioneers in the secret realm, the development of secret realm resources and the strategy of defeating the boss must be the top priorities of the operation.

Therefore, forming alliances is an inevitable outcome.

But this is exactly what Chu Hong needs!

[Shadow Serpent Vine] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

A shadow surged beneath Chu Hong's feet.

[Parino Supercomputing Core "Natasha"] Level 1 Display Case Effect, Activated!

Ignore level differences and disable all perception and detection skills!

Chu Hong's face was full of sinister and mocking intent: "Let's create some humor..."

......

"Your Excellency, we can't get in touch with Team Ishii!"

In front of the clinic, the captains of the first few teams who had arrived all looked confused. After Yasumoto Masami arrived, they all crowded around her.

Yasumoto Masami frowned: "Can't get in touch? Could it be a problem with their communicators? Has no one encountered them?"

The group looked at each other, and the two teams that landed at the [Hot Spring Construction Area Entrance] and [Abandoned Auto Repair Shop in the North of the Village] landing points all shook their heads.

"No, Saintess, it seems they didn't enter the secret realm. We didn't encounter Captain Ishii's ninja dogs on our way here either."

Suddenly, the original plan took an unexpected turn.

Yasumoto Masami took a deep breath. Despite her doubts, she did not consider the possibility that her secret realm had been "invaded by an enemy."

I glanced at the abandoned elementary school research area right in front of me, and then at the remaining manpower.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's set aside the Ishii squad for now... The operation plan remains unchanged! All squads, pay attention to coordination..."

"Hi!"

A total of seven teams entered, making 35 people including Masami Yasumoto herself.

Thirty-five small cabinets for all members to condense their cores.

Chu Hong, who was hiding in the shadows and spying on everything, was drooling with envy.

"Damn, if we keep everyone here, that's 35 Source Cores! 35 plugins that can directly activate the Showcase Level 1 effect, hehehehe..."

He wiped his drool away roughly.

Chu Hong's eyes were full of greed, but he didn't just sit there waiting.

Amidst the fierce gunfire of the White Night Project's armed personnel emanating from the Abandoned Elementary School Research Area, and above the Gymnasium, the majestic voice of the boss's clone, Demon Spirit AWM, echoed.

Chu Hong flashed forward and quickly arrived at the bulletin board in front of the village office, tearing down the notices without hesitation.

"[In-game Operation]: Monster Clearance"

Location of the operation: Village office

Time: 30 minutes

Reward: 2.5 Source Points

"Probability drops during the event: [Cursed Image Machine], [Ichimatsu Doll], [Grievous Stone], [Cross Necklace]"

"Hana-lai—!"

[Cobweb Brain-Computer Interface] Showcase fully activated!

Chu Hong instantly and accurately detected that the scattered locations of the mission targets in the [Village Office] were all [distracted villagers] who posed no threat to him.

With the help of the [Ghost Observer Relics] display case effect, which breaks invisibility and illusion effects, these monsters, which would otherwise require careful handling by ordinary pioneers, can be dealt with.

In Chu Hong's case, it was no different from any other roadside path.

He swung the [Tactical Hand Axe - Savage] fiercely.

With a "splat!" sound, a head was smashed by Chu Hong.

In less than two minutes, the rumbling sounds of battle continued from the [Abandoned Elementary School Research Area], while Chu Hong had easily completed an in-game bounty mission.

With the reward of 2.5 in hand, Chu Hong no longer needed to do any more in-game tasks.

The display case effect of the gold bars can offset 4 yuan of his expenses.

However, in order to secure the evacuation point and prevent the small lockers from having the opportunity to use the paid evacuation method.

Chu Hong went to the hot spring construction area again without hesitation to complete another task.

of course.

As a side note, Chu Hong also took the cable car key from the conditional evacuation point located at the [village office].

A few minutes later.

Chu Hong returned to the vicinity of the [Abandoned Elementary School Research Area], where the battle was at its most intense. Even the clearly strongest, Yasumoto Masami, was injured.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield.

Chu Hong's figure moved silently into the [Abandoned Elementary School Research Area] amidst the surging shadows, unnoticed by anyone.

then.

[Eight Netherworld Soul Tower] Level 1 Display Case Effect, activated!

A stack of wooden crates with no source energy fluctuations suddenly appeared without attracting any attention.

As if separated by a one-way glass, Chu Hong, hidden in another space, looked at the small cabinets in front of him, roaring about bonds, pride, and honor.

Two throwing knives appeared in his hand.

"Hehehe....."
