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

"Commander, welcome home!"

Dr. Hoffman's smiling voice reached his ears. When Chu Hong opened his eyes, he was back in the base on the Great Xia side.

Luo Yi, standing to the side, had a face full of excitement and exhilaration.

"Boss, how did it go? Did it work out? Did you get into that old codger Anben Guiyi's headquarters?"

Chu Hong remained silent, but with a thought, the [Imperial Preceptor's Treasure Box] appeared behind him.

Followed by.

Streams of light flew out from within.

Firearms, intact armor, unused consumables, and... a whole bunch of bright red items!

[Kraken] This guy really has the potential to be an organizer. He packed up almost everything that the little cabinets left behind on the battlefield and brought it out for Chu Hong.

"All 35 small cabinets at the Core Condensation Realm perished in the secret realm."

He said it casually, but his smile was full of pride and arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi's eyes widened.

"Awesome!!!"

Dr. Hoffman, who was standing to the side, adjusted his glasses.

"Just now, after you entered the secret realm, Commander, the [Satellite Signal Guidance Beacon] was indeed immediately detected and scanned by the Amaterasu Kingdom. However, thanks to the shielding provided by the base's [Parino Supercomputing Core 'Natasha'] and [Parino Supercomputing Core 'Sentinel'], they were unable to detect our passage coordinates."

"From now on, whether it is the Commander or any of the Special Operations Division's operators, they can safely use this method to enter [Top Secret - Saihe Village]."

Steady!

Chu Hong nodded.

This is a real-world secret realm. When he was teleported back just now, he clearly felt that his source energy had been enhanced to a certain extent.

This time, not only did they disgust the little cabinet, but they also robbed their secret realm.

It can also upgrade the source energy level!

Get it in one fell swoop!

"Okay, I'll try to make more trips to the hellish [Primitive Valley No. 1] when I have time, and try to get more [Satellite Signal Guidance Beacons] and [Navigation Charts], so that this base can serve as a cover and springboard for our people to enter the real-world secret realm."

Next, Chu Hong began to tally up his gains from this trip.

The main purpose was to see what the spoils of this operation were, which were basically loot taken from Yasumoto Masami or dropped from members of Yasumoto Masami's team.

[Item name]: "Zhaigu" god costume

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 2,000,000

[Type]: Craft collectibles

【Weight】: 15kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 3×4

[Item Description]: "This is the heirloom attire worn by the High Priestess (斎宫／いつきのみや) during important religious ceremonies. According to the accompanying ancient document 'The Tale of a Certain Shrine,' this attire once belonged to a certain Saiō of Ise Grand Shrine, and was later passed down to the current 'Special Grade' High Priestess, and kept secret in the shrine's storehouse generation after generation."

This is the outfit that Yasumoto Masami was wearing. Chu Hong noticed it when he was observing her battle in the Abandoned Elementary School Research Area. This outfit clearly increases the speed of energy recovery and can also resist a certain amount of energy attacks.

The Holy Light attacks of the Boss [Holy Spirit Body] were basically blocked by this thing.

"Fortunately, this is a collectible art piece. If it were a weapon or equipment item, it would definitely have merged with the other party..."

Chu Hong wore a satisfied smile.

Next came a gold hairpin.

【Item Name】: "Amaterasu" Hairpin

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 2,207,619

[Type]: Craft collectibles

【Weight】: 0.6kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×2

[Item Description]: Legend has it that this hairpin once belonged to a certain Saiō (Prince of the Sea) and was worn during the Shikinen Sengu (a 20-yearly reconstruction ceremony at the Ise Grand Shrine). After the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji era, most of these imperial hair ornaments were sealed away or lost, and it is said that fewer than three intact examples remain in existence. This is not merely a hair ornament, but also a symbol of the gods—when Saiō wore this hairpin while dancing, the swaying of the gold chain and the clinking of the pearls were regarded as the bell sound of Amaterasu Omikami descending to earth.

"hiss--!"

Luo Yi gasped sharply.

Chu Hong looked at the other person with a strange expression: "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"

"Boss, this, this thing is incredible!" Luo Yi's eyes swept over the set of clothes and the gold hairpin in front of him, and the more he looked, the more obvious the surprise on his face became.

"Boss, this isn't the kind of Great Red that old codger Anben Guiyi's [Heart-Slaying Sword Path] can produce. This... this is a special Great Red from the [Hell-Level Amaterasu Earth] secret realm controlled by the Amaterasu royal family!"

Chu Hong asked in confusion, "And then?"

Luo Yi opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly his expression froze.

If it were any other faction that obtained this item, they would either immediately return it to the Amaterasu royal family or return it to the person who was robbed, as these are all "royal gifts".

But these things don't seem to have any effect on Chu Hong and his group, do they?

The opposing side probably doesn't even know whether the person killing them is a pioneer or a hidden boss.

As one of the guardian deities of Amaterasu, Yasumoto Kiichi's status in the country was naturally unquestionable, and as his most beloved granddaughter, Yasumoto Masami was practically a princess in Amaterasu.

If Chu Hong told him that just now in the secret realm, he had given this "princess" of Tianzhao Kingdom a thorough quality inspection and even marked her with a quality inspection label.

I wonder what Luo Yi's expression will be...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In a flash of white light, Yasumoto Masami, dressed in a white Amaterasu-style nightgown, staggered out of the secret realm, her source energy fluctuations rapidly weakening and fading away.

This is the result of a failed evacuation and the shattering of the source core.

Anben Guiyi suddenly appeared, grabbed the latter, and pulled him into his arms.

"Yami! Yami, what's wrong?"

Yasumoto Masami's eyes slowly regained focus, but her gaze remained blank as she stared at her grandfather for a long while before finally showing some light.

"Grandfather, Grandfather..."

Her injuries, including those inevitably caused during the quality inspection process, were completely healed the moment she emerged from the secret realm. However, the intense mental expansion and weightlessness left her completely unable to muster any strength.

You absolutely must not tell Grandfather about that kind of thing...

Masami Yasumoto's eyes were red-rimmed.

"Radiant level, Grandfather, there's another hidden boss in Saihe Village. He... he's very likely to possess a Radiant level divine artifact..."
