Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

However, it wouldn't matter how high it was. Because Zhao Hao didn't need it at all.

"I'm tired, let's destroy it! Hurry up!"

[Purple Rain Forest Fist], a 3-star Black Iron equipment card... provides a certain amount of destructive power and a certain amount of maximum health. It also has an attribute that increases maximum health for each transcendent unit killed; if stacked to the maximum, it can be quite substantial.

It's alright. The equipment level isn't high, but the effect is pretty good. At least it's a consolation prize.

[A box of Den Den Mushi larvae], Black Iron 5-star item card... This is a plastic box the size of a matchbox, inside which is a creature a few millimeters in size, sleeping like a tiny snail.

Den Den Mushi, a special species in the world of One Piece, can be used as a telephone and can even mimic facial expressions. It's practically a video call.

However, this box contains about a hundred or so tiny larvae that require careful care and feeding, as well as a considerable amount of spiritual energy.

However, it still has some value.

【The Demonic Smile of Kim Jong-un (12)】

Black Iron 1-Star Character Card

Attributes: +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, +1 Spirit.

Talents: Demonic laughter, the disguise of a strongman.

Skill: Basic swordsmanship.

Note: Hahahaha~~~~ (Please upload a picture, fellow readers!)

A maniacal laugh: Your laughter will attract everyone's attention.

The disguise of the strong: When pretending to be strong, they can actually be quite convincing.

Basic sword skills: The technique is quite decent.

"Is this my guaranteed character card? Waaaaaah~~~~" Zhao Hao almost burst into tears.

This is truly an unlucky year; I've offended Tai Sui! Didn't you check the almanac?

Finally, there are two [Black Iron Fragment Cards] and one [Black Iron Enhancement Card].

Zhao Hao slumped on the sofa and didn't move for a full ten minutes.

The orange tree on one side of the wardrobe was a little worried, fearing that its long-term meal ticket would break.

Orange: "Zhao Hao, think positively. Even if things are really tough, you can choose to just coast along like me!"

"roll!"

"Hey~"

However, Zhao Hao still had to pull himself together. That's how card draws are; when the time is right, everything lends a hand, and luck is something even heroes can't control.

In the long run, you have to get used to this cycle of good and bad results. It's an inevitable part of the process.

Zhao Hao muttered to himself, "This wave, I'd call it a miscellaneous goods extravaganza!"

"Forget it, let's combine the cards first!"

The Sword Art Online game helmet, kept as a collector's item.

The Liu Life-Giving Sword doesn't seem to be of any use for now. If treatment is truly needed, I still have medical ninjutsu.

The "miracle wrench" is literally a huge metal wrench; if you hit someone on the head with it, it could crack their skull open instantly. You could give it a try if your TV or washing machine breaks down.

Dream Box, go to the warehouse and collect dust!

Purple Rain Forest Fist... Zhao Hao took out the Black Iron 3-star [Quick Man-Eating Gloves] and fused it.

[Longevity Boxing Gloves]

Black Iron 4-Star Equipment Card

Equipment: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, +2 Agility

Equipment: +30% attack speed.

Equipment: 10% of total health.

Accumulate Longevity: Each kill of a transcendent unit increases your total health by 0.5%, up to a maximum of 20 stacks.

Note: The world is a dog-eat-dog world, where only the fittest survive!

"Hmm, not bad."

As for this box of baby snails, let the mechanical maid Ika feed them. With the psionic orbs and the psionic energy flowing from the dream, it won't be a problem. I just wonder when they'll mature?

"Kim Gwan-jang..." It was as if a giant mouth was laughing wildly appeared in Zhao Hao's mind.

First, spend one fragment card to synthesize Kim Jong-un, then use the Bronze 1-star skin card [The Untamed - Yasuo] as the core to synthesize again.

【Yasuo, the Laughing Wind Swordsman】

Bronze 1-star skin card

Skin effects: Great swordsman, demonic laughter.

Skin effects: Windwalker, Swordsman, Disguise.

Note: Death is like the wind, but laughter is always welcome.

"Holy crap, is Kim Jong-un really that strong? He even managed to steer my Yasuo (a character class) astray! Luckily, it's just a title, and the effect hasn't changed."

Finally, there is one Black Iron Fragment Card and one Black Iron Enhancement Card left.

Zhao Hao: "This ten-pull was so boring. I pulled, but I didn't get everything. It's so empty..."

Just when Zhao Hao thought he was going to get through this tough last day of the year, Colt called.

"Zhao Hao, come to the station immediately, there's an urgent mission!"

How urgent is it?

"The mission was personally assigned by the president, and many agencies and departments, including the FBI, CIA, and military, were involved..."

"Holy crap! I'm coming right away!"

Chapter 250 Aliens? Are you kidding me?

"Just how urgent is this mission? So many departments have to work together? And the president himself issued the mission! By the way, do you think I could meet the president and take a picture or something?" Zhao Hao started rambling as soon as he got to the station.

That's for sure. This task is obviously no easy job. Why would I, a temporary worker from the Song Dynasty, risk my life?!

However, Colt knew him very well, and his first move was a decisive one!

"This time, the bureau will grant A-level redemption privileges to members participating in the mission..."

Zhao Hao immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Authority doesn't matter, the main thing is to serve the people! Tell me, who do you want to take down? I'll do whatever you say!"

The Mysterious Bureau has so many amazing items!

Although in recent years, the FBI and the military have started to investigate superhumans, ten years ago they didn't get involved in these matters at all.

The Bureau of Mysteries has been in charge of all supernatural matters in the United States for decades since World War II.

Although it was still relatively small-scale at the time, Ame was a vast and resource-rich region. Many extraordinary and mysterious items were in a state of decline then, and countless of them had been sealed away by the Bureau of Mysteries!

In this East Coast Liberty City branch, Zhao Hao acquired many valuable items, all of which were rare on the market and basically monopolized by major powers.

Runic manuscripts, potion recipes, rare and extraordinary metal alloys, ultra-pure extraordinary psionic gems, spellbooks...

Take the Psionic Orbs for example. There aren't many factions in the entire America that can exchange for more than a dozen at once.

Even the Red Gate doesn't openly exchange items to its core disciples.

That's true depth!

Despite Zhao Hao's extensive experience with missions, he only achieved a C-level exchange privilege; he could only occasionally hear about higher-level items and never actually see them.

Now that you're suddenly saying you're opening up A-level permissions, that's definitely worth a shot.

Within the A-level access, there are even B-level artifacts! And the psionic technologies developed by the Mysterious Bureau! It's safe to say they're extremely valuable.

Colt waved his hand and handed Zhao Hao a stack of photocopied documents.

Zhao Hao began to read it quickly, skimming through it.

Now his reaction time and intelligence far exceed those of ordinary people, and he can see things very quickly.

After about four or five minutes, Zhao Hao put down the documents, his brows furrowed. "Is all of this real? You're not kidding me, are you?"

What does the document say?

They talked about aliens...

When did legends about aliens begin to appear in this world?

It probably existed a long time ago, even in ancient times!

However, information dissemination was not advanced at that time, and fragmentary information was not reliable.

However, in recent years, rumors about aliens and superpowered individuals have intensified.

Things like crop circles, UFOs, and mysterious disappearances hundreds of kilometers away...

The image of aliens in rumors is extremely varied, with the strangest and most bizarre depictions possible.

But Zhao Hao always listened to it as a science fiction story.

After all, this is a supernatural world! There are psionic powers, an afterlife, and a netherworld... Who would have thought there would even be aliens?

The content of the document dates back several years.

The America government has always been skeptical about the existence of extraterrestrials and has been unable to confirm it.

Because fighter jets have indeed witnessed the mysterious aircraft, and there have even been some inexplicable phenomena.

But that could also be a supernatural event.

For those in power, the existence of superhumans and the underworld wasn't exactly a secret. So at the time, they didn't pay much attention and tacitly tried to cover it up as much as possible.

However, as time went on, such incidents became more and more frequent, and some of these events were clearly not in line with the path of superhumans.

The feeling is like me liking stockings and bunny girls, while you're a Fury fanatic—the difference is huge.

Over time, some people did take it to heart.

Those individuals used their influence to build a secret base in southern Nevada, specifically for researching and collecting intelligence. It has been in operation for forty years and is codenamed "Area 51."

With the surge in similar incidents in recent years, Area 51's influence has also increased, especially in the last decade, with its expansion speed being astonishing.
