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

"Although the energy level of the Energy Gathering Realm is still increased naturally by constantly entering and exiting the secret realm, ordinary-level secret realms can hardly bring any improvement."

"Even the upgrades to the top-secret level are quite limited. Your team's skills are all quite good, and you all have great combat talent. Next, the academy will arrange a few escorts for you to lead you into various top-secret secret realms."

"We aim to get you, Song Jiao'er, and Wang Suming to the Core Condensation Realm within six months..."

"In addition, you need to keep track of the monster units and building units that can be deployed to your current [Base Island], as well as the list of collectibles that will be generated. I will create a construction plan for your [Base Island] specifically for you, and suggest coordinates for deployment..."

Chu Hong underestimated the pressure his pseudonym "Compassionate Father" put on the higher-ups of Great Xia.

To deal with this "enemy," Wen Zaishan and Xuanyuan Shou simply stopped acting altogether.

They directly used their privileges to arrange things, treating him, this "promising talent," as the biggest trump card for Great Xia to turn the tide and deal with future threats.

Tianjin University of Technology, the base of the Big Dog Chewing Team.

Chu Hong looked at Bai Ningzhi, who was surrounded by large and small bags, as if she had moved house.

A bad feeling made his heart skip a beat.

But then Bai Ningzhi pointed to the package at her feet.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb your romantic time together. There's still an empty villa there, isn't there? I'll be staying there from now on."

"In addition, Dou Hongling is currently undergoing routine questioning by the Supervisory Department and will probably move in tomorrow or the day after. She can live with me then... As for Wei Boxue, he will still live in the dormitory on the Tiangong Academy campus."

Chu Hong was somewhat embarrassed, but even more so nervous: "This... Uncle-Master Bai, isn't this a bit too much trouble? Don't you prefer a quiet place to live? Even if Elder Xuanyuan asked you to lead us down to the secret realm, you don't necessarily have to move here, do you?"

Bai Ningzhi paused, her gaze slowly sweeping over Chu Hong.

His gaze seemed to pierce through him.

"What's wrong? Are you busy?"

One sentence made Chu Hong immediately sense the suspicion in the other party's words, and he hurriedly shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, no, not at all. It's such an honor for our Big Dog Chew Chew Chew Chew camp that Senior Uncle Bai could come to visit us! Hahaha, welcome, of course you're welcome!"

He quickly put on an excited and joyful expression, but in his heart he was already cursing.

"Don't you have any self-awareness about whether it's convenient or not?!"

Currently, the Big Dog Chew Chew Chew Chew's residence consists of only five villas.

Wang Suming and Lu Shuaishuai shared a building, Luo Xin, a young girl, shared another building, and Chu Hong and Song Jiao'er shared a third building.

Jiang Xingdong is currently employed at Tiangong College and has been provided with accommodation.

Previously, everyone was on the same side, and there was nothing to hide when talking about the Special Operations Division. Now, the sudden appearance of an outsider in the base made Chu Hong feel uncomfortable.

Especially Bai Ningzhi, who clearly harbored some suspicion towards him...

While Bai Ningzhi was tidying up her accommodation, Wei Boxue, the senior who played with mechanical spiders, called to discuss the upcoming escort arrangements with Chu Hong.

"Junior Brother Chu, I know your strength. You will definitely be going to the more dangerous top-secret realm with Bai Ningzhi. In that case, Dou Hongling and I will escort the rest of your team."

On the other end of the communication line, Wei Boxue seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Regarding the escort reward, Dean Wen has already told me that the reward for one escort is 50 Source Points. If you get a red card, you will hand it over to the academy, but you have the right of first refusal to bid for it. We should make this clear."

Chu Hong was taken aback.

Holy crap?

They want escort fees too?!

Chu Hong didn't think much of the 50 escort fee.

But... he glanced in Bai Ningzhi's direction, and a strange, ominous premonition rose in his heart.

After hanging up the call with Wei Boxue, he quickly arrived at Bai Ningzhi's villa.

The villa didn't actually change much after Bai Ningzhi moved in; the only obvious change was that they had specially prepared a tea room.

"Um, Uncle Bai, I heard that we have to charge an escort fee for this escort service?"

Bai Ningzhi raised her eyes and looked at Chu Hong with a half-smile.

Without any hesitation, he nodded directly.

"That's right, Master specifically asked me to personally escort you. But don't worry, the Heavenly Craft Academy will reimburse you 50%, you only need to pay half. Also, if a red item appears in the game, it should be handed over to the academy first. But as far as I know, as long as the red item is what you need, Dean Wen has said he can give it to you directly."

Chu Hong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the plan.

It seems that Bai Ningzhi and Wei Boxue have the same escort standards.

However, before he could put his mind at ease...

Bai Ningzhi's next teasing remark made Chu Hong's eyes widen instantly.

"It's just 500 million. Captain Chu is a rich man who has won the heart of a beauty, and he has the support of the Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce. He shouldn't be unable to come up with that, right?"

"Robbery?! 500 million?!"

Chu Hong's eyes widened instantly, like copper bells. 500 million per game for escort, half of that is 250 million?!

250W of power points for a single game?!

Today, I, Chu, am a complete idiot!

Or better yet, your escort team better not be all green!

His eye twitched violently, and he forced a somewhat strained smile.

"Um, Senior Uncle Bai, isn't this escort fee of 250 million per game a bit too high? And we also have to hand over the red buff..."

"What 250 million? 500 million is the escort fee you still need to pay after half of it has been reimbursed!" Bai Ningzhi pouted, looking as if Chu Hong was making a fuss.

She gracefully rose from the tea table in front of her, but her slender figure couldn't even shake Chu Hong's icy heart.

Half of it was reimbursed, but they still want 500 million?!

Do you think I, Chu, am a fool?!

"Heh, heh heh, Senior Uncle Bai is really joking. Even in a top-secret secret realm, unless you clear the entire map, the total reward for the whole game probably wouldn't even reach 500 million, right?"

Chu Hong waved his hand, preparing to refuse outright. He figured he could just solo it himself; it wasn't like he couldn't beat them.

500w of source energy points is just a fraction of Wang Suming's earnings from a trip to the [Hell-level Primitive Valley No. 1] [Transportation Line Station].

But Chu Hong had no interest in being that fool.

He was about to leave when Bai Ningzhi's next words stopped him instantly.

"Ordinary top-secret secret realms wouldn't yield such great rewards, but... what about world-class top-secret secret realms?"

Chu Hong's pupils contracted.

A hidden world?!

Bai Ningzhi took a sip of tea, her expression calm and serene.

"Your talent is very special. You need to access more secret realms and red-quality collectibles as soon as possible. In addition, we need to improve your source energy. Dean Wen and Master both believe that sending you into ordinary top-secret secret realms is a bit inefficient."

"So, let me personally guide you and provide one-on-one escort as you navigate this top-secret world-class secret realm."

"The World Secret Realm is unlike any other secret realm. Not only is the map area vast, but each squad that descends upon it includes pioneers from all over the world. Furthermore, the evacuation time from the secret realm has been increased from the original half hour to an hour to a total of 7 days!"

Bai Ningzhi put down her teacup as she finished speaking, her gaze slightly lowered as she stared at Chu Hong.

"Now, do you still think that charging you 500 million per game for escorting your character was a rip-off?"
