Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

It's likely that Master Xu's great merit led to his becoming a Celestial Master.

Of course, even without Master Xu, the dragon would have gradually become extinct. This is because the subsequent centuries of spiritual energy dormancy also cut off the living space for many powerful extraordinary creatures.

……

Back home, Ao Wu started throwing a tantrum. He planned to tear the house apart.

However, its fighting power was simply too weak, and it was suppressed by Zhao Hao, Juzuo, Xiaoruan, and Wangcai. It was tied into a bow and bound to the iron pipe.

Afterwards, Zhao Hao used a lot of snacks he had bought to bribe it, and with a combination of sweet talk and harsh words, he settled the matter.

The main problem is that Aowu is utterly hopeless; he has absolutely no resistance to sugary drinks and potato chips. After enduring for thirty seconds, his drool almost clogged the drain!

In his dream that night, Zhao Hao did not study the body of the spirit machine maid again, but instead sat in front of the room and began to deduce.

The burly man from the red gate and the middle-aged man from the Green Gang, whom I had seen during the day, appeared in an open space not far away and began to reenact the battle sequence from the daytime.

This was an illusion created by Zhao Hao using a dream, and it was remarkably lifelike, even capturing the same aura perfectly. However, it was ultimately just an illusion and posed no harm.

Zhao Hao watched the fight from multiple angles, slowing down and pausing, just like watching a video. He also observed the altar, soldiers, and spellcasting process of the middle-aged man from the Green Gang.

He studied it for a long time before the illusion dissipated.

He quickly came to a conclusion: if he were to deal with that middle-aged man from the Green Gang, he would have a relatively high probability of victory.

The question is, does that middle-aged man from the Green Gang have any other trump cards?

Given Lushan's style, it wouldn't be surprising if there were any techniques involving mutual destruction.

However, based on what he has shown, he should not be a match for Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was able to deal with his rampant and monstrous soldiers and ghost soldiers.

Whether it's paper dolls or divine weapons, quantity makes up for poor quality. With his various regenerative abilities, Zhao Hao could easily create thousands of paper dolls and divine weapons. He'd wear him down!

Zhao Hao also has Orange Throne, Wangcai, Little Soft, and Mud Puppet. Even if the opponent uses that grass dragon, it will be perfectly targeted by Ao Wu. Even if he wants to run, Zhao Hao can chase him until he vomits blood on his Thousand-Mile Donkey.

As for the Thunderfire Token and the Ghost-Slaying Whip, Zhao Hao wasn't afraid. His own equipment was decent, and he also had a barrier technique waiting for him.

It's a complete counter!

However, if Zhao Hao were to deal with the Red Gate Great Man Shang Liejun, Zhao Hao felt that he might not be up to the task.

Whether it's the Wulou Body or the Zhurong Dharma Body, Shang Liejun follows the path of strengthening himself with all great power. Although this path is dull, weak, and slow to progress at first, once the strength is reached, it is basically without shortcomings or flaws.

That truly is a case of overwhelming force!

The middle-aged members of the Green Gang were different; they themselves were the biggest weakness.

This is a common problem among mage-level extraordinary individuals, especially those who specialize in summoning. Of course, they themselves are aware of this and try to compensate for it.

People like Uncle Tie, who are extraordinary individuals, need to cultivate their physical abilities as well. Their martial arts skills are quite good, so they are not afraid of close combat.

Take Zhao Hao, for example. On the surface, he's a beast-taming support, but in reality, he's a fragile pretty boy.

But if the enemy really goes to great lengths to rush over, then he will fall into their trap.

Whether it's a dragon-slaying blade slashing down or an iron tree magic staff piercing through, it's enough to give you a hard time.

Not to mention Zhao Hao also has Bone Fang, Corpse Explosion, Chaos Magic, and D&D spells.

That's an old sow wearing a bra—one after another!

……

Summer vacation officially starts on May 25th. This vacation is going to be quite long.

Depending on the school, the duration can range from 6 to 10 weeks.

When school starts again, I'll be a sophomore!

On that very day, as everyone was packing up to leave, Zhao Hao ran into a "familiar face" at the school gate—Cast!

Before Zhao Hao took Shi Qiren to the hospital, he took out a memory erasure pen and took a picture of him.

So he doesn't remember what happened, only that he had a minor car accident that severely scratched the cowhide.

The injury wasn't minor, but it wasn't serious either, and he stayed in the hospital for several days.

Strangely enough, a serious injury should keep him out of bed for a long time, but he recovered very quickly.

Not only did I get better, but I also often feel impulsive!

Niu Niu also experienced a second growth spurt, growing even larger!

As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger; a big knife kills many," and in the days since being discharged from the hospital, Caster has been frequently engaging in deep conversations with girls, displaying incredible prowess and receiving widespread praise.

Originally, this kind of thing was just a hobby for him, but now it's become his main job every day.

He was also very distressed, but the impulse that came from time to time, once the flagpole was erected, was completely uncontrollable.

He often felt that the ox was controlling him, not the other way around!

Sure enough, a number of girls who had heard the news and wanted to see the sacred bull gathered at the school gate to wait for Nacast to be dismissed from school.

Zhao Hao was incredibly surprised. "Don't leave after school, wait for me at the school gate!" There was actually such a mode?

But when Zhao Hao overheard Castor complaining to his fraternity friends that his bull was being difficult and had its own ideas, he felt something was amiss.

Although this statement might have a bit of a Versailles reference, Zhao Hao had actually experienced the Demon Town.

That's when he learned a term—alien hand syndrome.

He witnessed Oliver, who had become a temporary staff member in the Bureau of Mysteries, suddenly slap himself several times, then wrestle with his left hand and was at a disadvantage.

"Could it be that Castor developed Strange Cow Disease after experiencing the Twisted Statue Time? If the cow turned into a monster after he died, what would that be like?"

While Zhao Hao was surprised, he recalled a vulgar joke about Niu Zi and, suppressing a laugh, called Colt: "Hey, hahaha! Come...come on over, come see the victim from that time last time, hahaha, he seems to be, hahaha, in a bit of trouble..."

(I'm telling you this crude joke in the author's note so you won't accuse me of padding the word count.)

Chapter 195 Charlemagne's Eastern Expedition Jar

On May 30th, the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Hao and Elena had agreed to go on a picnic.

When he woke up in the morning, he checked in through the system and received a card.

Dragon boat

Black Iron 4-Star Item Card

Sailing: Dragon boats can travel on waters that are insurmountable by many ordinary objects.

Riding the Dragon Through the Waves: The dragon boat is brought to life, suppressing the wind and waves of the water, and possesses a certain degree of combat capability.

Note: You're better off using it in a larger space.

Zhao Hao initially manifested this card as a toy wooden dragon boat, about the length of a hand and two fingers wide. It was even painted in color! The hull had golden dragon scales, and the prow was a realistic dragon head. To be honest, it looked even more majestic than Ao Wu.

But this thing is too small, how can anyone sit on it?

As a result, upon injecting spiritual energy, it instantly grew to four or five meters in size. It could even grow larger with continued injection of spiritual energy!

Zhao Hao tried it in the woods in his backyard. He poured nearly half of his spiritual energy into it, and the dragon boat grew to its maximum size, reaching eighteen meters in length!

The dragon's eyes and whiskers could move!

It's definitely not an ordinary product!

Now that we've managed to get our hands on something good, why not change our plans and go boating with Elena?

The vibrations from the vehicle were too mild; imagine the boat bobbing up and down on a calm, deserted body of water...

The two returned just before sunset that day, with Zhao Hao carrying Elena on his back.

……

During the holidays, Zhao Hao visited the antique shop and the Underworld Market more often.

The antique shop was for consulting with Uncle Tie, while the underworld market was for collecting materials.

Research is always very expensive.

Zhao Hao is about to become a VIP customer of Golden Shovel.

Jin Chanchan even boasted that he would calculate Zhao Hao's points and hold a lottery at the end of the year.

Zhao Hao suggested that Jin Chanchan go work for Antarctic Goose. That way, everyone's talents would be put to the best use.

During this period, he mainly practiced chaotic magic, but the problem remained: being too aggressive was dangerous. Even in his dreams, Zhao Hao had exploded more than ten times. In reality, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, being too conservative will result in very slow progress.

That chaotic magic was like giving a primitive man a spaceship without any instructions on how to use it.

You know it's very high-end, but you still need to carefully test and experiment with everything you do.

However, there is a workaround: using chaotic magic to simulate the spellcasting mechanism of D&D. Aren't the spells on the Red Wizard character card limited to once per day?

However, once he became familiar with it, Zhao Hao could use chaotic magic to simulate the effects without any restrictions. In fact, the effects of many spells would be enhanced.

For example, the level 0 trick known as the simple, limited, low-end version of the Prayer spell—Magic Trick—is significantly enhanced under the simulation of chaotic magic.

This spell and the chaotic magic are a perfect match.

That day, Zhao Hao received another invitation to an antique appraisal event.

Zhao Hao has been hanging around for a year now, and he's become quite well-known at the appraisal meetings; everyone knows he has an excellent eye for talent.

This time, I'm bringing Orange with me. Even if I don't get anything, I'll still get my money's worth.

Ms. Serra, who was in her mid-forties, was dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, holding a glass of red wine, and greeting Zhao Hao with a big smile.

"Zhao Hao, please come in. Many members have brought great items for this salon! I hope you find something you love!"

The old woman was very close to Zhao Hao, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against him, her breath sweet and fragrant.

It turns out that Zhao Hao was just handsome, but now he's not only handsome but also rich, always making big moves, which naturally caught the attention of the salon's initiator.

The proprietress personally served us; that's practically VIP treatment, isn't it?

Speaking of which, the recent antique appraisal events have indeed yielded quite a few good items.

Originally, people mainly used this opportunity to exchange ideas and even expand their networks. The things they brought were all small-scale, but in the past month, the number of good things has been increasing.
