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

On the way back to Huangshan base city.

Chu Hong and Wang Suming sat inside the armored vehicle.

Huang Miao and Wang Qinghai sat opposite them. As for Hu Jiaojiao?

Sorry, these are armored vehicles belonging to the Huangshan Base City military. Although the Crossing Dragon Pioneer Squad is famous and powerful, it is ultimately a private armed force.

At other times, Huang Miao and the others would just go through the motions and let Hu Jiaojiao come up.

But now... red-quality collectibles.

Without any prior communication, the two unilaterally took over the task of escorting Chu Hong and Wang Suming back home.

"Chu Hong, we're absolutely safe here now. Could you show us what red-quality collectibles you pulled out of the secret realm this time?"

Both of them looked eager.

However, Chu Hong did not take the item out immediately.

Instead, he chuckled as he looked at the two of them.

"Director Huang, Director Wang, let's not rush to look at the items. Could you two tell me what's so special about this red-quality collectible? Judging from the reactions of the pioneer teams outside, it doesn't seem like it's just a simple matter of rarity."

Huang Miao and Wang Qinghai were clearly taken aback.

However, Huang Miao then slapped his forehead with a laugh.

"Oh dear, I was in such a hurry that I forgot... Chu Hong has only just awakened for the first time and hasn't undergone a second awakening yet, so it's understandable that he doesn't know the value of red-quality collectibles."

He paused for a moment, his expression becoming more solemn: "Actually, someone will tell you about this once you complete the assessment and enter the Source Energy University, or once your Source Energy reaches the level of secondary awakening and you go to the Pioneers Guild for secondary awakening."

"Actually, this is not a secret among students whose parents were pioneers."

Huang Miao took a deep breath.

"Collectibles of revolutionary quality have transcended the mere rarity of the collectibles themselves; they can be considered a nation's cultural heritage!"

Both Chu Hong and Wang Suming couldn't help but show surprise.

Seeing this, Wang Qinghai nodded slightly: "Don't be so surprised. Actually, when Director Huang said that red-quality collectibles are a reserve of resources, he was only scratching the surface. The secret realm you are currently in contact with, the Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe, is only considered to be of the ordinary level in the official classification. There are even more terrifying secret realms above that, and even higher-level secret realms have entry requirements."

"These secret realms offer higher rewards, but the risks and dangers also increase exponentially."

"If the pioneer squads sent into the area were equipped with a red-quality collectible, the survival rate of the entire squad would increase by at least 30%!"

Wang Suming gasped in surprise; today he had witnessed an even higher level of pioneering spirit.

"Director Wang, but aside from usable tools or weapons, aren't other collectibles like craft items and everyday items only usable as materials by synthesizers or crafters?"

He thought of his four-compartment gold ingot [dog head gold nugget].

Aside from selling them, you could keep them at home as a decorative item to show off.

This thing was useless to him, who had neither crafting skills nor the ability to process collectibles.

It has no other use.

Wang Qinghai gently shook his head.

"No, red-quality collectibles are different... Any red-quality collectible must have its own unique function or ability. For example, Chu Hong, your gold-quality longsword, if it were red-quality..."

"Besides being used as a source energy weapon in combat, it can also provide users with some skill assistance, and its power is absolutely terrifying."

Chu Hong and Wang Suming both fell silent.

However, Wang Suming remained silent, completely shocked by the information.

Chu Hong remained silent, but then he thought of his cheat system, the Special Operations Division.

He currently possesses two red-quality collectibles: the Masked Worm and the Brain Domain Reading Device. Wait... Chu Hong's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Holy crap!

Chu Hong suddenly remembered that he had given Xu Daili a small red [expensive gold watch]!

At the time, I just thought of it as a more precious collectible, similar to one in a game from my previous life, and I didn't think much of it.

Now that I think about it... no wonder that Xu Daili joined him, a stranger who hadn't even formed a pioneering team, without even considering it.

Chu Hong's eyes twitched, and his face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

Xu Daili, that woman, could not possibly be unaware of the special nature of the red collectibles, and it's quite possible that she thought he, Yanzu, also understood the key to it.

"Damn it, you've gone too far with your bragging..."

"Chu Hong, what's wrong?" Huang Miao and Wang Qinghai asked anxiously as they looked at Chu Hong, whose face was turning pale and then flushed.

Chu Hong shook his head.

"It's nothing..." He took a deep breath.

He forced himself to comfort himself, since all of this was a risk-free business for him, given his cheat-like ability, the Special Operations Division.

At worst, I can just go to the [Clifftop Plague Hospital] map a few more times later.

Who knows, he might pull it out again?

As for Daniel Wu, it's just a small gold watch, nothing more...

Chu Hong muttered to himself, and only after he had calmed down a little did he reach into the backpack beside him, under the expectant gazes of Huang Miao and Wang Qinghai.

A burst of light illuminated the carriage.

A huge animal hide scroll, one meter tall and more than thirty centimeters in diameter, came into view.

"I took this from the corpse of the Thunderhorn Lizardman priest Kasar..." Chu Hong said calmly.

however.

At this moment, Huang Miao and Wang Qinghai seemed to have lost their hearing, staring blankly at the scroll standing in front of them with fervor and excitement.

"A Red Collectible! This aura... it's definitely a Red Collectible!"

Huang Miao was so excited that he wanted to reach out and touch it, but he quickly withdrew his hand, afraid of causing any unnecessary misunderstandings. He could only take out something that looked like Chu Hong's cell phone from his previous life.

They started snapping photos of the film on the roll.

soon.

Even without Chu Hong's introduction, the information about this collectible was sent over from the other end of the phone.

[Item name]: Lizard Sacrifice Notes

[Item Level]: Red

[Type]: Intelligence Resources

【Weight】: 5kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×4

[Item Description]: A precious magical tome passed down for thousands of years by the priests of the Thunderhorn Lizardman tribe. It is said to be made from dragon skin and records hundreds of powerful lightning and earth magic spells. It is kept secret by each priest.

Along with these messages came a voice so excited it was almost distorted.

It was a woman.

"Huangmiao! Where are you now? Whose stuff is this?! Let me tell you, this is the most precious, the most valuable collectible in the [Thunderhorn Lizardman Tribe] secret realm! Without a doubt!"

"Whoever it is! Agree to his conditions! Do you hear me?"

"Even if he wants your ass, you have to give it to him! You..."

"Beep!" Huang Miao hurriedly cut off the audio playback, his bearded face full of stiffness and embarrassment.

Wang Suming pursed his lips, took a deep breath, looked up at the ceiling of the carriage, and remained silent.

Chu Hong coughed twice.

"Director Huang, don't worry, I'm not interested in men."

Huang Miao nodded awkwardly, inwardly cursing the woman who spoke more arrogantly than a man, but outwardly he had no choice but to give Chu Hong a sincere smile.

"Pfft..."

A suppressed laugh escaped from Wang Suming's mouth.

The latter quickly turned his head away.

Huang Miao's eye twitched. Clearly, the impact of that audio recording hadn't disappeared; in fact, it had already begun to generate images and even videos in the minds of some of the more active individuals present...

"Snap"

Chu Hong reached out and slapped the fat man on the back of the head, where he had been watching too many pornographic videos.

He smiled as he looked at Huang Miao, whose face was full of embarrassment.

"Director Huang, please continue. If I'm willing to sell this red-quality collectible, what conditions are the Frontiers Guild willing to offer?"

He then looked at Wang Qinghai, who was also frowning and staring at the scroll with an air of certainty.

"What conditions can the Armed Forces Department of the base city offer, Director Wang?"
