Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

The Lubricant Technique makes a specific area extremely slippery after application. This area can be large or small. Large enough to make an enemy lose their footing, small enough... cough! It's very popular, especially in confined spaces where it's extremely effective.

This is a magic book called "One Thousand and One Everyday Magic" that Zhao Hao received by signing in on April Fool's Day. Zhao Hao opened it up to exchange for or draw prizes, feeling that it would last for several years!

April 5th is Qingming Festival, and Zhao Hao also signed in.

What's even stranger is that the system actually reacted on May 1st.

Zhao Hao was incredibly excited; this was a holiday he had never experienced before! Labor Day!

Upon opening the system, a line appeared in the diary: "Just kidding, cattle and horses don't have holidays~"

Zhao Hao: I'll fucking kill you! You've broken my defenses!

On June 1st, Children's Day, I was surprised to find that the system gave me a sign-in reward. This time, it wasn't a scam!

[BGM Card: Two Tigers Love to Dance]

Black Iron 5-Star Function Card

Use: Consumes psionic energy to activate the background music, causing all targets in the entire area, regardless of who they are, to fall into a state of confusion and bewilderment, while you yourself enter an uncontrollable state of singing and dancing.

Note: These short three minutes may take many people a lifetime to heal.

Zhao Hao tried it once, and his whole body started twisting uncontrollably... He later decided to expel Children's Day from the festival.

……

This year, Zhao Hao finished the Harry Potter series. He then started a new project, The Matrix.

The main reason for starting this project is to prepare for future films such as The Matrix and Ready Player One.

Currently, very few ordinary people have access to the game "Fantasy Westward Journey"; most encounters happen by chance. Zhao Hao doesn't dare to promote it on a large scale yet.

They worry that the world on the surface and the world behind it will join forces to attack them.

Moreover, most people don't have a concept of this kind of thing and find it hard to accept.

Let's start with some science fiction novels and movies to let the general public understand, experience, and accept these concepts, and even yearn for those science fiction game worlds. After all, the real world is so cruel; a game world where everything is possible is much better!

This is to lay the foundation for the future.

In fact, the world's first commercially available mobile phone was born just half a month ago.

Several large conglomerates, including Ame-mei, were involved. Pipi Shrimp, along with the Duke family, also acquired a 16% stake in the technology, mainly by providing many related technology patents, such as those related to signal transmission, semiconductor integrated circuits, and small batteries.

Perhaps it was because of the intrusion of the mantis shrimp, or perhaps it was because the timeline had changed too much, but this mobile phone was completely different from the old-fashioned mobile phones that Zhao Hao knew.

Actually, a similar company developed a mobile phone called "Big Brother," but it was completely outclassed by Nokia's "small, candybar mobile phone with a display screen." That is, the old-fashioned Nokia!

This is, after all, technology reverse-engineered from psionic technology, a generation ahead of the old mobile phone. Completely outclasses it!

It was precisely because of the existence of mobile phones that Zhao Hao felt his concept of a "game metaverse" could be accepted by people in the real world.

When the time comes, if I suddenly launch an attack to promote the Dreamwalking Seal in the real world, even the regimes in the real world will have a hard time stopping me.

Prepare for the information war in advance! The information war is extremely important!

As far as Zhao Hao knew, many of Amei's secret departments had already begun using local area networks. The technology behind the internet was mature enough; it was just waiting for other technologies to be adopted and support it. He needed to pay more attention to this area in the future.

The game is developing very rapidly, and the number of players has now reached 10000!

This number is already enormous; the total number of superhumans in the entire America is probably not much more than this.

According to the Magic Mirror's statistics, there are as many as 3000 players in America, making it the number one superhuman force.

These players are very loose-knit; they can complete tasks, but it's difficult to get them to risk their lives.

Currently, there are over two hundred players who have been bound to Zhao Hao's big ship. These are Zhao Hao's trump cards for the future.

Because of its rapid development, game trading is now even impacting trading in the afterlife.

After all, the inner world is vast, and it's difficult for extraordinary individuals from all over the world to trade together.

However, the "online trading" platform, Fantasy Games, has achieved cross-space trading.

It allows extraordinary individuals from Europe and America to conduct trade across the seas, and with guaranteed safety!

Zhao Hao: Let there be no difficult business in this world! I don't like money, I've never touched money.

This month's transaction volume, converted to psionic metals, has reached $16 billion, with a significant portion being barter transactions.

Zhao Hao has been taking so much commission that his hands are sore from it!

You can even instantly search for what you need in a huge auction database and then bid on it in seconds!

Furthermore, due to the increase in the number of players, the completion rate of dungeons has also increased significantly.

Zhao Hao even needs to ride his Lu Bu a few times a day through the dreams, finding more dreams to attract more nightmares. There aren't enough monsters to kill!

While those players were killing monsters and clearing the level, Zhao Hao was also gaining spiritual energy!

During this period, Zhao Hao even felt that he was about to be upgraded to Bronze 2-star.

The spiritual energy required to upgrade to Bronze level is more than ten times that of Black Iron!

Many exceptionally talented individuals spend decades after entering the Bronze realm before finally reaching Bronze 2!

Even with the current resurgence of psionic energy, it would be absolutely impossible without several years of accumulation.

But Zhao Hao has only been here for less than a year, and he's already leveling up?!

"This is promising! Absolutely promising! So this is the right way to level up. To become superior, hard work isn't enough; you have to exploit others! I get it! Humans have limits, I'm giving up on being human~~~"

……

That day, Zhao Hao and the Native American beast spirit shaman sheriff Braesta completed a mission.

Extraordinary beings have appeared in the vast underground pipes of Liberty City.

It's actually normal for supernatural beings to appear, since there are always some extraordinary events that happen, and it's inevitable that some small animals, such as rats, will be affected.

If it's not a mutation, then it will become psionic, and of course, the probability of dying directly is much higher.

In addition, many small "secret realms" appear frequently, allowing some strange species from the inner world to appear in the outer world.

Some of them ran directly into the sewer system and were impossible to find; some secret realms appeared directly in the sewers, making them even more impossible to deal with.

This has led to the near extinction of the homeless people who used to live in the sewers.

After all, many supernatural beings are very dangerous, even deadly.

Although this is a huge hidden danger, it is generally assumed that no action will be taken in this situation. After all, if no one says anything, it is best to pretend that nothing has happened. This is the same in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad.

But this time is different!

This time, the extraordinary creatures are completely different. If we don't deal with them, it could lead to a major disaster.

The Bureau of Mysteries even sent Zhao Hao and Indian Sheriff Braesta to team up for the mission.

According to available information, the monster is suspected to be the creation of the king of all beasts, the father of monsters, and the monstrous god.

His followers often enjoy creating all sorts of monsters and mutated creatures.

Since it involves the supernatural, we can't take it lightly.

Zhao Hao and Bresta searched the sewers for a whole week before finally finding the eyeless, white-skinned giant crocodile. They didn't know which follower of the Mad Beast had created it.

The eyeless white crocodile, a level 5 Black Iron monster, didn't take the two of them too much of a challenge, but if they had arrived a few days later, things would have been different. That's because the white crocodile had laid a huge pile of eggs.

Chapter 353 Toad God Jar

Zhao Hao, Gou Quan, Fatty, and the dwarf Wally stayed in the Otherworld for a while, mainly to treat Gou Quan's injuries.

Isn't this a lingering effect of the battle behind that white gate last time?

At first, the friends thought they had fallen victim to some kind of underhanded trick and were in serious trouble. After all, the underworld is full of bizarre, unpredictable, and even incomprehensible terrifying methods.

However, after having someone examine him, and Zhao Hao himself using medical ninjutsu to check, it was finally confirmed that he had twisted his back.

It is said that he was being chased by the youngest daughter of the deformed family and accidentally stepped on her, straining his back. However, he forgot about the pain because of the intense battle.

Even after getting home that evening, he didn't forget to play cards with Prada, which aggravated his injury. Over the next few days, it became increasingly severe.

This guy has his pride too. If it were any other ailment, he would have screamed and begged for help, but a twisted back is a difficult thing for a man to talk about. Especially since he twisted his back while "playing cards," it makes people question his abilities!

As the saying goes, don't delay seeking medical help when you're sick!

As a result, the condition worsened. It wasn't until he could barely walk without needing to hold onto the wall that Prada noticed and called Zhao Hao for help.

Gou Quan was so embarrassed that he kept complaining that his genie was so unreliable, begging and pleading but refusing to cure him.

Even the genie has a way of keeping his word, but you promised him a trip to Las Vegas with a bunch of beautiful women, and you still haven't delivered! You're lucky he didn't kick you in the back. And he'd treat your injuries?

Gou Quan even made an excuse: "Well, the reason I didn't say anything was because I was worried that the 'pure man' product of Pipi Shrimp would be questioned. Look at me, a dignified vice president, I have plenty of pure man's products, but I still injured my back. Other pharmaceutical companies will make a big deal out of this and affect sales!"

Zhao Hao slapped the guy hard across the lower back, making him yell "Ouch!"

"Okay, let's just say it's a work injury. Don't say anything more, the company will cover the treatment. Go check out the Inner World Market. My buddy says he knows someone there who specializes in treating back sprains like yours!"

And so, the three of them arrived at the Underworld Market and, led by the older brother, came to the residence of an old South American witch doctor.

This old witch doctor was skilled at brewing some bizarre witch medicine ointments, which were comparable to the witch's potions in their own way.

However, Gou Quan's illness could not be cured by applying ointment. The old witch doctor actually took out a ten-centimeter-long, multicolored leech and placed it on Gou Quan's lower back.

As the brothers watched the water seep into Gou Quan's blood, growing larger and larger in circles, they all felt goosebumps rise on their skin.

Gou Quan lay on the wooden bed, feeling nothing at all, and muttered to himself, "Why aren't we treating the illness? Shall we begin?"

The fat man whispered, "What's the rush? The doctor needs to prepare! Wait!"

The five-colored leeches sucked blood without him feeling anything at all, or rather, Gou Quan's spiritual senses were completely numb. If Gou Quan knew that a giant leech was sucking his blood, he'd probably breakdance on the spot.

After a long while, the dark-skinned, thin old witch doctor picked up the leech. Gou Quan then realized something was wrong and turned around, so frightened he almost rolled off the bed.

However, my back is really healed!

This is a very primitive bloodletting therapy that was once very popular in the West.

However, bloodletting is only a means to an end in this therapy; the purpose is to balance a person's spirituality.

Later, psychic powers died out, and no one could heal through this method anymore. So it became a real bloodletting!

In addition, enemas are also popular in the West.

Don't misunderstand, these are all methods of treating illness. As for the effectiveness, that depends on fate.

In fact, Zhao Hao could also cure this illness. Although Gou Quan's condition might be somewhat cursed, it was more serious than a common sprain or bruise, involving the side effects of psionic energy on the body.
