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

"Captain Chu should be able to trust me now, right?"

[Chief's Council Room]

Song Jiao'er smiled as she watched Chu Hong rummage through the containers, putting the blue and purple quality collectibles into his backpack, and asked softly.

Seeing that the latter still had a clumsy, bewildered expression, Song Jiao'er gently pursed her lips.

"You and Wang Suming didn't say a word just now. Don't think I don't know what you were thinking."

Chu Hong laughed, but vehemently denied it: "I don't understand what you mean by that, Song Jiao'er. If it weren't for the gold-quality M14 and gold-quality ammunition you provided, we wouldn't have had such a smooth journey."

"Oh, right!"

Chu Hong grinned and moved a few steps closer to the other person.

The fervent light in his eyes was a stark contrast to his previous indifferent demeanor.

"Um, Song Jiao'er, these gold-quality bullets are good, but they don't last long... Uncle Song is capable, could you give me some more gold bullets?"

"As long as we have enough gold bullets, Song Jiao'er, we'll definitely clear every map and have a blast every time!"

Chu Hong thumped his chest loudly.

however.

Song Jiao'er's eyes widened instantly.

"What did you say?! I gave you three whole boxes of gold bullets! Three boxes! One hundred and eighty rounds! You, you fired them all?!"

Song Jiao'er's voice seemed to become shrill at this moment.

"Ahem, well, the lighting isn't quite right, but... it's definitely not enough."

Chu Hong remained calm and composed.

When a cook touches pork, his hands are covered in oil!

I, Chu Hong, led you into the map to enjoy the food, purely acting as your escort. Is it too much to secretly keep some gold bullets for you?

Don't worry about how many gold bullets I fired.

This picture says it all, right?!

He cleared his throat, looking dignified and awe-inspiring.

"This is all normal wear and tear! Song Jiao'er, I'm telling you, you're a rich young lady, the sole heir to the prestigious Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce, and you only have a few gold bullets? That's a bit much, isn't it?"

"Besides, you saw it yourself just now. Aside from using the golden bullet when fighting the boss, I used swords and blades when fighting the mobs! You can't doubt that I, Chu Hong, am an honest man, and that I'm embezzling the golden bullets you gave me!"

Song Jiao'er gritted her teeth inwardly.

Doesn't she know the power of a golden bullet?

The bullets fired from that M14 were at most purple quality!

Although it was unclear where Chu Hong obtained these energy bullets, which were strictly controlled by the Huangshan base city, the map-clearing results outside were indeed extremely efficient.

All she could do was take a deep breath.

He said with some difficulty, "I... I'll try my best!"

The map clearing was completed in about ten minutes.

For the remaining forty minutes, Chu Hong and the other two began to experience a happy kind of trouble.

Pack your bags!

Song Jiao'er's backpack is a collectible item called "Apprentice Mage Backpack (Purple)" with a capacity of 50 slots.

Chu Hong, on the other hand, had a standard 45-compartment military backpack, the largest that an ordinary person could obtain.

"【Kali Fruit】is extremely valuable; it's a supply item that almost every magic-based explorer buys before entering a secret realm. Take as much as you can..."

As Song Jiao'er spoke, she stared intently at Wang Suming, who was effortlessly placing an entire fruit basket, containing a dozen or so [Kali Fruits], into the [Shady Merchant Goblin's Cargo Box].

I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

His gaze toward Chu Hong became even more profound.

This guy is really willing to sacrifice a lot, and he has indeed used Wang Suming's initial skill [Stacking] to its fullest extent.

"Exactly twenty blue-quality [Lizardman Warrior Spears], taking up four slots!"

"Brother Hong, you should put this little gold in your box. It's a waste of space to keep it there... There seem to be quite a few of those purple-quality collectible wine glasses. Come on, bring them all over here..."

More than forty minutes.

Wang Suming was in charge of sorting the bags, classifying the items that Chu Hong and his team had collected.

Chu Hong and Song Jiao'er, on the other hand, spent the entire time running around searching for containers, filling a backpack, and immediately taking it to Wang Suming.

They looked like porters assembling goods onto heavy trucks.

Both of them were exhausted, but Song Jiao'er wiped her sweat, her eyes filled with a sense of exhilaration she had never felt before.

"Chu Hong, just what kind of terrifying freak have you created?! 120 slots, and each slot can stack 20 identical collectibles... With him in the team, all the high-level collectibles in this entire dungeon will be looted!"

Watching Chu Hong return from the south watchtower.

Song Jiao'er's face was flushed with excitement and joy.

"Not counting what we two are carrying, just Wang Suming's backpack alone could fetch at least ten million source energy points. That's more than the combined earnings of our family's merchant guild's entire team of hired pioneers!"

Chu Hong smiled.

In his hand, he presented the other person with a white gold quill pen with a crystal-like texture.

"Here, this is a gold-quality magic item I found in that [Lizardman Captain's Treasure Chest]. It seems to be used to draw magic scrolls, which should be useful to you..."

Song Jiao'er paused, her hand touching a wooden wine barrel.

Looking up in surprise at Chu Hong's face behind the mask.

"For me?"

She looked at the [White Phoenix Feather] that Chu Hong handed her, and when her gaze fell on the ring on Chu Hong's finger, a distinct glint flashed in her eyes.

"Isn't that a bit much? We agreed to split it equally among the three of us. Otherwise, after the valuation, I'll just use my energy points to exchange for it separately..."

As Song Jiao'er spoke, her eyes were fixed on the quill pen in Chu Hong's hand, and she pursed her red lips.

She actually has that thing.

But... looking at Chu Hong, who was wearing matching rings with her, and personally giving her such a precious gold-quality magic pen, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

It's just like......

"A box of golden bullets!"

Just as a girl's shy and charming feelings began to emerge in her heart, Chu Hong's unromantic voice was like a needle, instantly piercing this pink bubble.

"I..." Song Jiao'er's eyes twitched, and the faint blush on her face turned into a furious red.

Chu Hong, however, disagreed: "If you think one box is too much, half a box is fine too... I'm doing this all for our team, okay? Do you really think I, Chu Hong, the captain who always charges to the front in every battle, would have any selfish motives?"

Song Jiao'er: "..."

Watching the beautiful figure leave in a huff, her steps seemingly carried by the wind, Chu Hong's face was filled with the joy of having gained something.

Damn!

With these golden bullets, I absolutely refuse to believe I can't take down those three Phantom Gods of the experimental building!

at the same time.

While Chu Hong and his group were busy collecting spoils and organizing their backpacks...

At this moment, the evacuation point is located on the east side of the valley.

On the cliff top, several figures were seen lying on the perimeter of the evacuation point, peering into the core area.

"Brother Jiang, are we... are we really going to make a move against Song Jiao'er? She has two bodyguards!"

"Yes, if the Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce investigates, we won't be able to escape responsibility..."

The two asked somewhat nervously.

"Bullshit!" Jiang Minghao, his face still charred, cursed loudly.

"What do you mean by 'inextricably linked to us'? We didn't enter the secret realm with them. At most, they followed us in shortly after we entered the teleportation portal. There were so many teams during that time, so why are you assuming we were the ones who attacked Song Jiao'er?"

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at the three people, including Song Jiao'er, who were sorting through their spoils in the open space in the core area.

He licked his dry lips.

"Besides, we're not going to kill them. We'll just take their spoils and leave. From our evacuation point, we can ambush them and break their legs, rendering them unable to move. Then we'll grab the loot and run!"

"By then, would the Cube Merchant Guild dare to openly take action outside the secret realm?"

The group looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant and nervous.

however.

At that moment, Jiang Minghao suddenly widened his eyes.

"Quick! Hide!"

"They're coming to evacuate!"
