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

ask!

A container of a fixed volume can be filled in one minute at an inlet with a constant water injection rate. If the capacity of the container can be continuously increased by some means, and the water injection rate remains constant, is it possible for the constantly increasing volume of the container to exceed the volume of the inlet that is constantly injecting water?

answer!

possible!

Congratulations, Miss Song thought so too, but she ultimately underestimated the terrifying power of Chu Hong's certain display case effect. When her source energy was exhausted, the effect of the second skill [Double Happiness] could no longer be amplified.

Finally, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the Palino base in the investigation area [Hell-level Primitive Valley No. 1], she let out a long and melodious lament as she looked out at the primitive valley that seemed to be covered with a golden outline under the setting sun.

"The Special Operations Division's investigation area is truly a wonderful place..."

Chu Hong smiled, his face full of smug satisfaction at having defeated three bosses and then easily swept aside the fourth hidden boss.

Having let go of Miss Song, who had been whining and refusing to move a finger after the final MVP settlement, Chu Hong vanished into the shadows in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he began the final cleanup and tidying up of the entire secret realm.

This time, only he and Song Jiao'er entered the secret realm.

Excluding the three or four minutes spent dealing with the first three bosses, and the twenty minutes spent at full power dealing with the hidden boss.

With only a few minutes left, it wasn't enough time for Chu Hong to conduct a large-scale search.

Like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, Chu Hong quickly searched the entire Palino Valley base, leaving no time to open any cards. He simply shouted "Flower, come!" and, with the help of the [Yin Snake Vine] display case effect, swiftly searched the entire base.

At the entrance of the Emergency Response Department on the first floor, an Anti-Tank Infantry Mine spawned in the open air and was taken by Chu Hong.

After Chu Hong surveyed all the red dots around the valley base, when he returned to the top floor, Miss Song had finally regained some of her senses.

"You, you should go find that woman from Amaterasu Kingdom to do this kind of thing again..."

Miss Song said with lingering fear.

Chu Hong smiled without saying a word. Knowing this Miss Song as he did, he knew she would definitely say similar things again in the future...

When the two adulterers, still reeling from their absurd battle, emerged from the secret realm and returned to the Special Operations Division, they instantly reverted to their previous sanctimonious selves.

"Huh? Sister Song, are you guys so poor this round? Weren't you supposed to be in a hellish dungeon?"

The little girl, Luo Xin, looked at Song Jiao'er as she took out a few collectibles from her backpack, all of which were small gold items. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the other side with some confusion.

But then Chu Hong stepped into the [Crimson Collection Room].

Song Jiao'er smiled slightly: "The captain gave me all the gold; everything else is with him..."

Miss Song's gentle and virtuous smile made Luo Xin not think much of it.

At this moment, Chu Hong, after the absurdity, finally began to deal with the important matters at hand!

"Brother Tongzi, have you finished the selection? Which of the source cores in those small cabinets are worth putting in the [Display Case]?"

Inside the [Big Red Collection Room].

The system did not respond, but the previously empty display cases in front of Chu Hong suddenly burst into light, and without Chu Hong even having to put them in himself, the source cores that burst out from the small cases were placed into them.

[Ding! Among the 96 red-quality special source cores selected, 4 have more than 3 duplicates and have a significant effect on the host. Their display case effect has been automatically upgraded to level 2.]

A light screen lit up in front of Chu Hong, resembling a list.

[Item Name]: Abe Masashi's Cloud Bottle

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 3,701,033

[Type]: Craft collectibles

【Weight】: 0.2kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×3

[Item Description]: A jar contains a slowly swirling white cloud of mist—its shape is full like a conical hat, its edges are clearly defined, and the details inside change depending on the viewing angle. The mist is not still, but rotates and pulsates within the glass jar at an extremely slow speed, as if it still retains life. This is not just a simple glass jar—it is a captured memory of Mount Fuji.

[Collectible]: Abe Masanori's Cloud Bottle

[Display Case Level]: lv2

[Activation Effect]: Consuming source energy allows you to summon a cloud for aerial flight, either in-game or in reality. The maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1000 meters.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 1000 Energy Points, 10 [Abe's Honest Cloud Bottle]

The very first gain made Chu Hong gasp in astonishment.

"Holy crap? Isn't this like flying through the clouds? Bro... are you really planning to make me cosplay as an old immortal?"

【Ding! 】

【"Abe's Honest Cloud Bottle", in real-world use, isolates sound and shields source energy perception; when fused into a source core, it can split into two forms during combat: Form 1, "Eye of the Cloud", provides the fused user with a different perspective of vision; Form 2, "Mountain Mist", conceals the fused user's figure and source energy fluctuations.】

Chu Hong: "..."

How many powerful figures from Amaterasu Kingdom did that [Forbidden Spell: Thunder God's Judgment Spear] kill yesterday?!

Although we don't know the name of the person who fused this thing, or what their source energy level is, judging from the information provided by the Special Operations Division, their status in the [Heart-Slaying Sword Path] is definitely not low!

The second item follows immediately.

[Item Name]: Cicada's Song Across the Sea Monk's Hat

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 5,274,033

[Type]: Craft collectibles

【Weight】: 1.2kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 3×3

[Props Description]: A bamboo-woven deep hat (insect cage hat) about 60 centimeters in diameter, with a rounded conical shape and slightly upturned edges. The inside of the hat is lined with dark blue dyed cloth, on which the entire Heart Sutra is written in gold ink—the characters are so small they are like ants, and can only be read at very close range. A yellowed old cloth label is sewn along one inner edge, with the words "Yongping Crossing the Sea Transmission Method" written in ink.

[Collectible]: Cicada's Song Across the Sea Monk's Hat

[Display Case Level]: lv2

[Activation Effect]: Unlocks the "Divine Hat" outfit. When worn, it inflicts "Divine Might" on any unit attempting to investigate the host's appearance, subjecting them to an extremely powerful illusionary suppression.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 10 million Source Energy Points, [Cicada's Song Across the Sea Monk's Hat] *1000

Following his ability to soar through the clouds, Chu Hong has now acquired a new cheat: "Cannot be looked at directly."

"Brother Tongzi, this five million-dollar red item should be quite effective as a source core, right?"

Chu Hong asked somewhat timidly.

【Ding! 】

The "Cicada's Song Across the Sea Monk's Hat," when fused into a source core, can withstand illusion and deception attacks from those no higher than one major realm above the fused user. It can also activate the "Cicada's Song Sutra," providing the fused user with an instant 20% source energy recovery and a subsequent continuous 50% source energy recovery.

Chu Hong: "......."

This captain doesn't even remember killing anyone like this!
