Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

"Teacher, I have another way to protect ordinary soldiers entering the battlefield."

Mo Lao looked at Ao Peng with curiosity.

On the battlefield of the extraordinary, what ordinary soldiers fear most is not a frontal attack, but the extraordinary power that they cannot touch. A single act of deception can cause two elite soldiers to kill each other.

The ever-changing battlefield environment means that even experienced players cannot help every soldier.

Therefore, Ao Peng can provide secondary protection for ordinary soldiers, which can effectively reduce casualties.

Seeing that Elder Mo and Qin An were looking over at the same time, Ao Peng summoned Little Drill Wind.

Suddenly, a gray rat appeared on Ao Peng's shoulder, stood up on its own two feet, and bowed to the people around it, mimicking a human.

Ao Peng continued to explain, "These are the Five Witches soldiers I subdued, also known as household guardian spirits by ordinary people. They stand on the shoulders of ordinary people without affecting their activities, and at the same time, they can help ordinary people defend against some basic magical attacks."

Old Mo's eyes lit up. "How many Five Witches soldiers do you have?"

Ao Peng replied, "There are 563 gray fairies, 42 yellow fairies, 2 fox fairies, 3 white fairies, plus one python fairy, for a total of 612."

This number truly surprised even Elder Mo. Modern warfare emphasizes elite and small-scale operations. More than 600 Wuchang soldiers are enough to arm an elite battalion. This is a force capable of changing a local battlefield!

"What about the restrictions?"

"The Five Wrathful Soldiers essentially come from my inner vision. Therefore, when using the Five Wrathful Soldiers, I must ensure that my inner vision remains open. Only in this way can the Five Wrathful Soldiers use me as a causal intermediary to pass through the intermediate state and come to the real world. Furthermore, the Five Wrathful Soldiers cannot stray too far from my outer vision. Of course, this distance should be sufficient for this battlefield, as it is a full two kilometers."

Master Mo then asked, "How long can you project your inner vision?"

"Ten minutes."

Ao Peng replied that he actually possessed the [Earthly Venerable] talent, which enhanced his recovery ability. If he continued fighting on the ground, he could extend the battle by three or four minutes, but that would be too extreme and leave no room for error.

Qin An frowned in thought, "Ten minutes?"

This timeframe, while not short, is somewhat rushed for military operations, as the possibility of unforeseen evacuation must also be considered.

"That's alright."

Mo Lao smiled, then took out an item from his game storage space and handed it to Ao Peng.

As the frontline commander, Mo Lao was heavily invested in destroying the Lu Palace by the Bureau of Investigation, so a large amount of precious supplies were stored in Mo Lao's storage space.

This item is only the size of a palm and is carved entirely from crystal. The contents inside are constantly rising and changing like clouds and smoke, existing between liquid and gas.

He immediately cast an appraisal spell.

【Penglai Immortal Wine - Imitation】(Superior Grade Mystic)

This is a fragment of the recipe for Penglai Immortal Wine, which was found by a master brewer. He received full support from certain forces and thus gathered various materials to experiment with, and finally developed this immortal wine.

【Super Restorative】: After drinking the Immortal Brew, the drinker's spirit and physical strength can be greatly restored, lasting for 24 hours.

[Hangover] Drinking just one small bottle will cause a severe hangover reaction, requiring two to three days of rest. Drinking more than one small bottle in a short period of time will have serious consequences.

[Mortal Transformation]: When consumed by mortals below the level of immortals, it can effectively improve their physical and mental attributes after a hangover.

This is good stuff.

Ao Peng's eyes lit up instantly. Apart from the negative effect of "hangover," this was a mass-producible recovery-grade divine medicine. Ao Peng couldn't help but think to himself, "It's not a waste that the people of the Empire drink so much wine every year. It's not too bad to cultivate a master brewer and produce this kind of elixir that has both recovery and enhancement effects."

After completing the last piece of the war puzzle, Ao Peng looked at his post. In just over thirty minutes, there were already nearly a thousand negative comments.

Seeing that the time was right, Ao Peng snapped his fingers.

[Verse on the Fruition of Speech Karma] is activated.

……

A thousand miles away, in an ordinary residential community.

The real name of the person who said "Game planner, are you kidding me?" is Xu Guang.

He is just an ordinary person in this era. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering and did make money in the real estate industry a few years ago. However, with the regulation of the real estate industry, his income has also declined sharply.

To say that he has no resentment towards the empire over the past few years would be a lie. Anyone whose monthly salary drops from tens of thousands of yuan to a minimum of a few thousand yuan would harbor resentment.

Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining. He survived a construction site accident and entered the Old Earth game, becoming a player.

This was originally Xu Guang's second turning point in life, but because he had resentment towards the Empire, he decisively ignored the recruitment information from the Bureau of Investigation and thought he would change his fate against all odds.

Because he was a civil engineer, he chose the initial identity of "Mountain Mover" after entering the game. His talent was that he was good at destroying mechanical environments, and he had a bonus to learning feng shui.

After passing the first level, the most attractive map for newbies is the Lu Palace dungeon, which teaches a lot of excavation knowledge and taboos of feng shui construction.

But just like the Red Sleeve Inn in Happy Town, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

After entering the Lu Palace, Xu Guang realized that the purpose of recruiting game players like them was purely to use them as human test subjects!

He works in civil engineering in the real world, but unexpectedly, he's been turned into a civil engineer in the game world!

These players were digging up the Yin soil beneath the Lu King's Palace. As for what they were digging for, they didn't know at first. They only knew that digging for this stuff was very dangerous. They had encountered things like Yin springs gushing up, Yellow Springs overflowing, and even the Ghost King opening his coffin. As a novice player, they had all experienced these things.

It's definitely a terrible game; if it weren't for playing games, he would have died a thousand times over.

The only good thing is that the Lu Palace does provide incense and skills; otherwise, how could these people continue digging the stakes?

He didn't realize what he was digging for until the Bureau of Poll posted it.

The King of Lu's Palace is trying to excavate a passage between the underworld and reality!

But even realizing this, there was nothing he could do. He was about to clear the level and get the final reward, so who would want to run away at this point?

Since the government couldn't control the old local games anyway, Xu Guang posted the first few threads out of a sense of wishful thinking and rebellion.

"Never mind, let's give it a shot! A bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!"

Xu Guang gave himself a final pep talk. Just then, his takeout arrived, so he opened the door and took it out.

He was engrossed in playing the game when he subconsciously opened the takeout box, scooped some food into it, and tried to put it in his mouth, but the next moment he ate nothing but air.

He looked down and saw that the lunchbox was empty, without a single grain of rice, as if it had never been filled with rice at all.
