Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Once the fusion was complete, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it's all in the past. Besides, the outcome was good.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Hao disappeared and appeared in the dream.

Meanwhile, in a remote and mysterious underground base, several researchers in white lab coats suddenly stopped using their instruments.

"Disappeared?!"

"That's right, it's no longer in the surface world."

"Did they go to the underworld?"

"How did he get to the underworld?"

"There aren't any secret realms connecting to the inner world near his home. According to the data, he seems to possess some kind of high-level barrier technique. Could it be that the barrier is shielding or interfering with the data observation?"

"That's possible. But another possibility is that he's actually no longer in the outer world. After all, the data also suggests that he may have some kind of teleportation ability."

"What should I do?"

"Report it. We're just collecting data anyway."

Soon, the anomaly in Zhao Hao's data observation was reported to a member of the Skull and Bones Society.

Then, several members began to discuss it during a private gathering.

"This Song man is a bit cunning!"

"That's right. According to the interrogation results of those hunter superhumans, this Zhao Hao should have some kind of group teleportation ability, and the fact that he can bring so many people out of that place means his level must be very high!"

"Do you think it might be the rainbow bridge they mentioned during that previous operation?"

"That artifact from Norse mythology? Wasn't it supposed to be disposable?"

"That's not necessarily true. If it were me, I wouldn't hand it over either."

"But can he activate the divine artifact? You know, it consumes billions of resources just once we use it!"

"Well... I don't know. Anyway, observing his data is extremely difficult."

"And what about the other one? That necromancer who's no longer obeying orders!"

“He’s very cunning. We’re making plans, but there’s definitely no chance for us in the short term. Besides, the chairman only wants us to make plans, not to take action.”

"After all, the death of that black man had a significant impact. Moreover, the ritual indicated that the time was not yet ripe and we still needed to wait."

"I hope that day comes soon... but I also hope that day never comes."

……

Zhao Hao entered the dream world and threw the Dream Mirror to the Magic Mirror.

The magic mirror has no hands, but it can catch things using psionic energy.

I was a little confused when I caught it: Does my master want to replace me?

"No, Master! I promise I'll do my job well, please don't ruin me! Waaah~" The grumpy face on the magic mirror started to shed tears, and what flowed out was mercury.

Zhao Hao snapped, "Shut up! Here's some food for you. Eat it and then get back to work!"

"Give me...give me food? Really? Long live Master! Long live Master~"

After dismissing the magic mirror, Zhao Hao used his spiritual energy and mental power to create an additional experimental land at the edge of the dream.

Then, equipped with [Earth Explosion Star], Miss Qiu conducted her first experiment with casting a spell...

"Let's use one-third of our psionic energy for the first time! Get eight grams of Tensei!"

Haha, that sounds really powerful!

A ball of spiritual energy flew out from Zhao Hao's palm, soaring several kilometers into the air before transforming into a miniature black gravitational core.

A tremendous attraction began to emerge and rapidly intensified.

The ground began to crack and crumble, and then the rubble floated in mid-air, converging upwards.

A few seconds later, huge fragments of ground, tens or even hundreds of meters high, also flew up.

A few dozen seconds later, the two kilometers of newly created land had been completely "eaten up" by the Earth-Exploding Star!

"Wait, something's not right! Holy crap, it shattered over here!"

Zhao Hao wanted to cancel the ability as soon as possible, but once it was thrown out, it couldn't be controlled anymore, let alone canceled.

Zhao Hao directly unleashed a golden handprint, and a psionic palm several tens of meters in size appeared. With a push from afar, he propelled the "giant stone ball," which was already nearly a thousand meters in diameter, into an even higher altitude.

When everything ended ten minutes later, not only was the temporarily created dream gone, but a large part of the main body of the dream was also lost.

If the fractured land extends another two kilometers, it will reach the torii gate.

The two stone lions were so frightened that they almost tore up the torii gate and ran away.

And a "man-made satellite" with a diameter of two kilometers has appeared in the sky!

"As expected of someone with Silver 1-star abilities! Looks like I'm considerably stronger than Nagato. That makes sense, after all, the eyes weren't originally his..."

Chapter 491 Learning Through Play

This ten-pull was quite fruitful. Finally, I'm showing signs of peak strength!

For a period of time afterward, things were relatively calm.

Zhao Hao and his friends had a good rest for a few days and then had a get-together over the weekend to catch up.

Carrie, the witch, also brought goodwill to the witches' gathering.

After all, the current savior candidate is a top contender, a bronze-level powerhouse, and this Zhao Hao has had quite a bit of contact with the witch. He's a top-tier figure who can't be ignored.

The witches latched onto the bronze-level powerhouse, and Zhao Hao also received a considerable amount of compensation for his magic potions through them.

Fantasy Westward Journey players have recently noticed a significant increase in the number of potions available in the in-game store, and the variety is quite impressive!

In addition, the Minions are studying the extraordinary items and equipment they found in the Orange Mansion treasure chest.

Those things were accumulated little by little by countless extraordinary individuals over many years, and they all have their merits.

This has now enriched the Minions' alchemy factory.

The Fantasy Game Mall has added many new extraordinary items, and some high-level quest rewards even include bronze items.

For example, a lucky coin that slightly increases luck.

For example, the Silver Holy Sword, which has a strong effect against evil spirits, necromancers, and demons.

For example, the trap item, the watermelon bomb, explodes the moment it's touched, making it incredibly difficult to find!

Another example is the famous love potion among witch potions!

A drop of blood is supposedly added to this stuff, and it's said to make anyone who drinks it fall head over heels in love with you.

Of course it is fake!

It will only give the person who drinks it a feeling of excitement.

The basic principle is to interfere with the endocrine system, making it more receptive to the scent of the person dripping blood. Something like pheromones?

This stuff has limited effectiveness; if the other person really dislikes you, no amount of drinking it will help.

There's a saying in witch circles: "One drink makes you want to fall in love, two drinks make you want to see the sea, and one bottle makes you want to throw up!"

It is evident that the base of the potion is high-proof alcohol.

So, was it drunken *****?

……

These things are like a carrot dangling in front of Lu Bu's head—something he can't reach. They're enticing players to keep moving forward.

Because of the major update to the Fantasy Game Mall and the release of the new "expansion pack" Dream Mirror, players are very excited and have been very active recently.

The daily active users are estimated to be tens of thousands.

These people now spend all their free time fighting monsters in the Dream Mirror, racing against time and working tirelessly to explore new areas.

Although there are quite a few monsters in the Dream Mirror, many of them are very powerful. There are even seven or eight bronze-level monsters.

However, they were still no match for the undead Fourth Scourge army.

These people, whether in teams or through underhanded tactics, are trying every means to kill monsters in the Dream Mirror.

This land reclamation is progressing incredibly fast.

As more and more monsters are killed, the speed at which the Magic Mirror devours the Dream Mirror is also accelerating. Soon, we'll be moving to the next level.

Zhao Hao currently has two types of dragon blood, one of which is from the Zhongguo Fireball Dragon, and he only has a small bottle of it.

This was given to the witch Carrie so she could concoct potions; she needed it for her upcoming advancement test during the Great Hunt.

The other type of dragon blood is even more advanced; it's the blood of a bronze 4-star black dragon. The quantity is enormous!

They used containers the size of gasoline drums, and filled more than a dozen of them!

This was after Xiao Ruan had drunk quite a bit of it.

This thing is very precious.

And then there's Zhao Hao's dragon corpse. That needs to be handled by professionals; otherwise, it'll be ruined.

After much inquiry, the matter eventually fell to the old dwarf, Thunderspear, who was still recovering from his injuries.

His lungs and internal organs were burned by the fires of hell. Even after returning to the world of the living and the dead, he used his connections, consulted many people, and spent a lot of precious materials, but he was only cured to about 50% or 60%.

That high-ranking demon's dying, bitter blow was not easy to deal with.

The dwarf Wally found the Thunder Spear and said that Zhao Hao had a dragon corpse that needed to be dealt with, and he was willing to give him a dragon heart as payment.

This would be perfect for crafting an alchemical potion to heal his internal organs, which had been burned by hellfire.

As the most renowned among the dwarves, capable of hunting bronze supernatural beings, he was naturally adept at handling his prey.

The two sides hit it off immediately. Upon hearing that Zhao Hao had a dragon corpse, Lei Mao completely forgot about Zhao Hao's attempt to stuff him with dragon dung. He happily came over to deal with the dragon corpse.

Those skinning knives used to dissect the dragon were bronze-grade!

Zhao Hao summoned dozens of giant paper soldiers, each four or five meters tall, to assist Lei Mao. They worked tirelessly for forty-two hours straight, and finally finished.

Dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon meat, dragon tendons, dragon blood, dragon bones, internal organs, dragon teeth, dragon horns… almost everything is bronze-grade material. And there's plenty of it! By the ton! No wonder those warriors love slaying dragons!
