116: Chapter 116 is full of traps! He's got cheat codes everywhere!

Surprised or not?!

[Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name, the top choice for reading Taiwanese web novels is super awesome]

Chu Hong felt a sharp ache in his groin!

He didn't even have time to think about why the invincible "Transparent World" effect of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] exhibition cabinet had failed on this ship at the paid evacuation point.

He could clearly sense all those garrison androids in the wharf.

But now he no longer had time to think much.

He instantly drew his [source blade], rolling his body to dodge the attack of the [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier] right before him once again.

Sizzle!

The [source blade], surging with source energy, viciously slashed at the leg joint of the opponent's armor the exact moment Chu Hong rolled.

Sparks flew, and the harsh screech of friction made Chu Hong's expression sink.

The next second.

"Witness the power of technology!"

The [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier] abruptly raised one foot.

The next second.

"Boom!"

Thunder light burst forth, and Chu Hong only felt a surging electric current instantly course through his entire body, causing his whole person to freeze stiff right in place.

"Turn into my performance review!" The heavy hammer smashed down fiercely, and in the muffled, heavy voice of the [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier] was full of absolute confidence.

He couldn't remember how many brainless stinking monkeys or whatever intruders had died under his "three axes".

"Boom!"

The heavy hammer smashed down viciously.

However.

Contrary to imagination, the attack that should have instantly smashed Chu Hong into a puddle of mud felt like it had slammed into a small mountain.

The hammer handle trembled violently, and the hand mechanics of the kinetic armor began to intelligently adjust the shock-absorbing device.

However, what appeared in the vision of the [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier] was a terrifying, ferocious bloody maw.

"Roar!!!"

The [Haji Dragon] suddenly summoned by Chu Hong bit down with a fierce lunge, swallowing half of the [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier]'s body straight into its mouth.

After chewing twice with teeth sharp enough to tear through steel, the latter immediately emitted an overwhelming alarm sound.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Crack crack..."

Watching in the blink of an eye as it was bitten into a pile of fragments by the [Haji Dragon], revealing the intricate internal circuits and mechanical devices inside.

Chu Hong's pupils contracted slightly.

Inside here, there was actually no person at all!

In an instant, Chu Hong immediately understood why the exhibition cabinet effect of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] had failed.

The exhibition cabinet of the [cobweb brain-computer interface] could currently only scan life forms whose source energy level did not exceed the ninth stage of the [Energy Gathering Realm]!

The evacuation countdown that had just stopped.

Started again the moment the [Haji Dragon] dealt with the [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier].

[30, 29, 28...]

Chu Hong took a deep breath. If it weren't for his trump cards—[Ke Xiaoken] and the [Thunder Horned Dragon]—which could protect him instantly against that sudden, vicious attack just now,

he really would have been cosplaying a dried salted fish on the deck of the paid evacuation point.

Searching [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier]: ...

The search black box appeared, with only a 1x1 grid spinning inside.

[21, 20, 19...]

On the light screen before him, the evacuation countdown was still ticking down.

And right at this moment.

A gleam of golden light suddenly burst forth from within the search black box.

[Ding!]

A golden item resembling a CPU chip appeared in Chu Hong's hand.

[Item Name]: [Palino Heavy Hammer Soldier] TPM Chip

[Item Grade]: Gold

[Value]: 80,911

[Type]: Intelligence Document

[Weight]: 0.01 kg

[Backpack Grid Capacity Occupied]: 1 × 1

[Item Description]: A security chip that records and runs the core command key of the [Palino Bio-Group] Heavy Hammer Soldier. Every minute, it automatically generates a random key code with an extremely high security level. Entering the key code once can lift the [Palino Bio-Group] Heavy Hammer Soldier's alert restriction against you.

[...4, 3, 2, 1]

As the countdown ended, the scene before Chu Hong's eyes instantly transformed.

The next second.

He had already returned to the [Special Service Department].

Looking at [Ke Xiaoken] wriggling and crawling to his feet, a knowing smile couldn't help but appear on Chu Hong's face.

He reached out and stroked its smooth cyan-blue head.

At this moment on the other side, after returning to the [Special Service Department], the [Thunder Horned Dragon], which had shrunk to about the size of a small calf, also lumbered over.

"Hahaha, good, good, good, you both contributed, you both contributed. When I go loot-running into the map next time, I'll bring back more food for you..."

After comforting his two capable "cheats".

Chu Hong hurriedly came to the [Big Red Collection Room].

Along with another new top-tier red item—the ["enterprise sailing ship model"]—being placed into the exhibition cabinet, another glowing exhibition cabinet appeared once again in Chu Hong's collection room.

And right at this time, Chu Hong saw the lv1 exhibition cabinet effect of the ["enterprise sailing ship model"].

[Collectible]: ["enterprise sailing ship model"]

[Cabinet Level]: lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

[Upgrade Requirement]: 1 million source energy points, ["enterprise sailing ship model"] * 1

[Collectible]: ["enterprise sailing ship model"]

[Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Ship-type evacuation points allow direct evacuation without a countdown.

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million source energy points, ["enterprise sailing ship model"] * 3

"Holy shit!!!"

Looking at the lv1 exhibition cabinet effect, Chu Hong instinctively blurted out a foul phrase.

Evacuate directly without a countdown?!

Brother Tong, why don't you look at what you're saying?!

How does this make the people camping at the evacuation point feel?!

Just taking the encounter at [Huaxi Wharf] earlier as an example, it is no exaggeration to say that once Chu Hong activated the lv1 effect of the ["enterprise sailing ship model"] exhibition cabinet,

let alone traveling underwater,

even if he braved a hail of bullets and cut straight through the middle of those five hundred people at [Huaxi Wharf],

the moment he entered the range of that cargo ship, all those so-called attacks or the ambush by the heavy hammer soldiers inside the cabin would have nothing to do with him anymore.

"Just one more! As long as I loot one more of this thing, buddy is going to soar straight up!"

Chu Hong took a deep breath and once again stepped in front of another exhibition cabinet.

At this moment, a [precious gold watch] was quietly displayed inside, looking grand and noble under the illumination of a faint beam of light.

Chu Hong took out the [precious gold watch] he had just looted from the secret realm.

"Upgrade the [precious gold watch] exhibition cabinet!"

[Ding!]

[Upgrade: [precious gold watch] exhibition cabinet lv0 → lv1]

[Requires 1 million source energy points, [precious gold watch] * 1]

[Confirm upgrade?]

"Confirm!"

Along with a burst of golden light suddenly appearing within the exhibition cabinet, when the light dissipated, the illumination previously cast on the [precious gold watch] became even brighter, while upward beams of light from the four corners of the cabinet focused on the [precious gold watch].

Chu Hong also saw the lv1 effect of the [precious gold watch] exhibition cabinet at this moment...
