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

"Wait, is the price for nine squares correct? Nine squares for one million?!"

Chu Hong was overjoyed just a second ago, but after seeing the value marked on the [Abyss Part - Gear] in his hand, his smile instantly turned into displeasure and disgust.

"I've touched so many red things, but this is the first time I've seen such a cheap slut like you! Hah!"

"It's nothing!"

Chu Hong was cursing and swearing, completely unaware that Bai Ningzhi, who was meditating and adjusting her state on the steel beam above her head while keeping an eye on potential intruders, was not paying any attention to her.

Her eyes were fixed on him.

There are quite a few places and containers to search throughout the refinery.

Take the first floor where Chu Hong is currently located, for example.

[Refinery Main Building] 1F: Entrance hall, security monitoring room, changing room/shower room, medical room, canteen/kitchen, warehouse/loading and unloading area, maintenance workshop, and pump room.

These are all places that can be searched.

Chu Hong pretended to hold the structural diagram of the refinery that Bai Ningzhi had given him, but in reality, in front of the [Cobweb Brain-Computer] display case, the entire [Refinery] was completely transparent to him, with no blind spots whatsoever.

Arrive at the [Entrance Hall].

He followed his usual practice of using a knife and immediately looked towards the front desk.

No card was swiped.

But he painted a small gold-plated outdoor outfit and wore a pair of stylish gold-rimmed glasses.

[Drop rate of red-quality collectibles increased by 27%]

Search for [Top Secret - Computer Host Chassis]: ...

Two individual cells rotate as the search icon rotates.

A green-quality sensor appeared first, but Chu Hong just scoffed and tossed it aside.

Immediately afterwards, the second unit began to rotate...

As he watched the search icon spin around and around, Chu Hong's eyes lit up slightly.

"Gold, gold, gold..."

Without considering combat for the time being, and with several days left, Chu Hong prefers to search for more small gold items in the early stages, rather than the nine red items that were only worth one million.

Increase the drop rate of red-quality collectibles.

Ding! Little Gold [CPU]

The golden light responded to Chu Hong's expectations.

"One pomelo~"

[Drop rate of red-quality collectibles increased by 30%]

Searching for "Top Secret - Front Desk Drawer":.....

One single square, one 2x2 four-square square, and one 1x2 two-square square.

A small green [visitor badge].

A small blue [Refinery Safety Manual].

Ding! The golden light shone once again.

Drop rate of red-quality collectibles increased by 33%.

Chu Hongfeng swept away the remaining clouds.

Soon, he had thoroughly searched every single container in the entire entrance hall.

Just as Chu Hong was about to step towards the security monitoring room on his right, his foot suddenly moved slightly and imperceptibly.

It happened in an instant, without even attracting Bai Ningzhi's attention.

However, a sharp glint was already flashing in Chu Hong's eyes.

Shadow General has successfully infiltrated the area of ​​the [Trench Command Post]!

The underground pipework area of ​​the [Refinery] was indeed connected to the [Trench Command Post] on the other side.

The Shadow General is extremely good at concealing himself.

Using the shadows to conceal themselves, they resemble a cold-blooded hunter lurking in the dark, coldly watching his prey from the edge of its advance range.

Through shared perception, Chu Hong could even hear the sounds of battle emanating from the [Trench Command Post].

That team was also clearing out the drones.

However, they only cleared out the androids inside the [Trench Command Post] buildings, leaving none of the monsters in the crisscrossing trenches around them.

Chu Hong shared the Shadow General's vision, but on the surface, his actions were not affected in the slightest. With a bang, he kicked open the door to the monitoring room.

Before the two [Rust Engineers] inside could make a move.

The [Biohazard Suppression 93R] in his hand instantly blew off the opponent's head.

"Bang bang bang~ bang bang bang~"

Chu Hong glanced around and reached out to put the small gold [High-Definition Miniature Camera] that had been scanned on the control panel into his backpack.

Drop rate of red-quality collectibles increased by 36%.

Search for "Top Secret Monitoring Console":.....

Three single cells.

The search icon rotates.

Ding~ Little Purple sent a [surveillance hard drive].

Second, the search icon rotates...

Ding!

A crimson light burst forth!

Chu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly.

A mini walkie-talkie, smaller than a regular one, appeared in his hand.

[Item Name]: Secure Communication Terminal

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 390,813

[Type]: Electronic items

【Weight】: 0.8kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 1×1

[Item Description]: Standard equipment for field personnel of a certain intelligence agency, designed specifically for urban covert operations and short-range encrypted communication. Each unit is programmed with a unique quantum key at the factory, forming an unbreakable communication link with its paired terminal—if the key does not match, the terminal will automatically destroy its internal storage and lock all functions.

"It's just a little red thing..." Chu Hong murmured, not even considering it anything to be happy about, and was just about to put the things into his backpack.

A voice from behind, tinged with surprise yet also seeming to express envy, suddenly came from behind.

"Is this your usual drop rate?"

What the hell!

Chu Hong, who was already searching for something while also sharing the Shadow General's view, was so engrossed in two things that he didn't even notice when Bai Ningzhi appeared behind him.

He was so frightened that he almost mistook the secure communication terminal in his hand for a hand grenade and threw it away.

"Holy crap... Uncle Bai, when you're standing behind me, can't you make some noise? You can scare people to death!"

Chu Hong glared at the woman, annoyed.

But the latter's gaze remained fixed on him, or rather, on the little red object in his hand.

She couldn't help but slightly purse her lips.

"What's this? Uncle Bai, you don't actually think that all these red-quality weapons and superpowers I have were given to me by someone else, do you?"

Bai Ningzhi fell silent.

Chu Hong ignored Bai Ningzhi, who was standing at the entrance of the security monitoring room, dressed in ancient Chinese white robes resembling a female ghost.

He walked over to the other containers and began searching...

This is nothing! It's only a mere 30-something increase in the drop rate of red-quality collectibles. Wait a few days, Uncle Bai, you'll be in for a real shock...
