131: Chapter 131 [Golden Apple] Display Case Effect

Searching [Palino Group Chairman]: ...

The black search box appeared.

However, Chu Hong's expression suddenly changed. An invisible sense of crisis instantly tightened his nerves.

Raising his head, he was horrified to find that the figure fighting the boss Big Gorilla by the riverbank several miles away was suddenly looking in his direction.

Despite the immense distance, Chu Hong was almost certain that he had indeed been seen by the other party!

Holy crap!

Hurry up and search, damn it!

The moment that figure rushed toward him amidst a violent piercing sound and a streak of afterimages, Chu Hong's expression changed drastically in an instant.

"Haji Dragon! Ke Xiaoken! Go! Stop him!"

"Roar!"

Thunder Horned Dragon appeared once again, and [Ke Xiaoken] in its miniature state also expanded and enlarged rapidly in the river water at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Inside the black box, there were a full three items!

One one-by-one single grid, one one-by-two double grid, and one three-by-four twelve-grid!

It made Chu Hong's eyes turn red.

He had a premonition!

There's good stuff!

It can still drop good loot this time!

With a ding, a golden light lit up.

A golden card appeared!

[Item Name]: Research Laboratory No. 1 Access Card

[Item Grade]: Gold

[Value]: 429,091

[Type]: Clearance Item

[Weight]: 0.01 kg

[Inventory Slot Capacity Occupied]: 1 × 1

[Item Description]: Used to open the access control of Research Laboratory No. 1 in the main building of the Parino Valley Base

[Durability]: 20 / 20

[Location of Use]: Primitive Valley No. 1 - Parino Valley Base

A four-hundred-thousand gold card!

In the source energy space, the thirty rounds of 7.62 gold bullets originally placed in the last slot were taken out by Chu Hong without hesitation.

"Boom—"

Thunder Horned Dragon had already taken the lead in releasing a large-scale lightning-type magic.

Above the river surface, a dark cloud seemed to condense out of thin air. Amidst the crackling lightning, Cliff Yang completely ignored everything before him and still charged straight toward Chu Hong.

Holy crap!

What the hell is this boss in the secret realm supposed to be like for a Confidential-grade one!

"Except for plot-mandated deaths, who the hell can kill you guys?!"

Cold sweat drenched Chu Hong's forehead.

Fortunately, right at this moment, the second item finally rotated out.

A two-grid small gold item, [Designer Sunglasses].

Last! The very last one!!!

Chu Hong had long cleared out 12 slots of space in his backpack in advance.

As [Ke Xiaoken] and [Thunder Horned Dragon] finally collided with the arriving Cliff Yang, Chu Hong heard a cold, furious rebuke that made him feel ashamed.

"Damn human traitor!"

Though Chu Hong felt ashamed in his heart, one of his feet had already stepped into the range of the extraction point.

[10, 9, 8...]

The extraction countdown began.

Meanwhile, inside the black box in front of Chu Hong, the search icon was still spinning.

Over there, amidst a miserable scream and under Chu Hong's horrified gaze, Thunder Horned Dragon was torn to pieces on the spot by the crimson laser shot from Cliff Yang's human naked eyes.

The moment [Ke Xiaoken]'s dense tentacles were instantly shaved clean into a "bald head",

Red light bloomed in the black box in front of Chu Hong.

Go!

[... 3, 2, 1]

"Boom!"

At the very end of his vision, Chu Hong could even see Cliff Yang's terrifying laser beam penetrating his already-blurring body.

The darkness dissipated.

Chu Hong returned to the Special Service Department.

[Investigation Area: Primitive Valley No. 1 (Confidential)]

[Extraction Successful]

[Extraction Location: Northern East Bank Tidal Flat]

[Operation Time: 48:18:51]

[Total Harvest Value of This Operation: 9.97 Million Source Energy Points]

Chu Hong's face flushed red with excitement. Lying on the ground, he punched the air in wild joy.

"Hahaha! We successfully extracted!"

Extreme extraction!

Looking at the total extraction value given by the Special Service Department this time—over 9 million, close to 10 million source energy points—

Ordinarily, weapons of red quality did not have a defined monetary value.

And as Chu Hong knew, the high-value items in this match previously were none other than two [golden apple]s, along with a No. 1 Employee Elevator Access Card worth over 700,000 to nearly 800,000, and a Research Laboratory No. 1 access card worth over 400,000.

The rest were just minor gold items worth seventy or eighty thousand.

"That means the big red item I brought out at the very last moment is worth at least eight million source energy points!"

Chu Hong's breathing hitched as he hurriedly took the item out of his backpack.

[Item Name]: Golden-Leaved Money Tree

[Item Grade]: Red

[Value]: 8,180,050

[Type]: Craft Collection

[Weight]: 35kg

[Inventory Slot Capacity Occupied]: 3 × 4

[Item Description]: A mutated money tree found in the wild. Its entire trunk is red-copper colored, and its branches and leaves are a shining golden color. It is metal, but at the same time, it is also a plant. Believing in science will not bring wealth, but please believe the market—it is wealth itself.

"Holy crap! Hahaha, Money Tree, hahaha, getting rich tonight, what a great name! Hahaha..."

Chu Hong laughed so hard his mouth almost split to the back of his ears.

The harvest for this round was truly maxed out!

Not only did he figure out the intelligence of many areas and harvest a new big red item, but he also obtained a red-quality sniper rifle!

Chu Hong walked into the Big Red Collection Room.

He first took out a [golden apple] and placed it into the exhibition cabinet.

"Upgrade the [golden apple] exhibition cabinet!"

"Ding! Insufficient source energy points in the account..."

Chu Hong was stunned. Then, looking at the remaining source energy points which were less than 300,000, he couldn't help sighing and sold some minor purple and gold items he had obtained from running raids in the Warehouse.

"Upgrade the [golden apple] exhibition cabinet!"

[Ding!]

[Upgrade: golden apple exhibition cabinet lv0 → lv1]

[Required consumption: 1 million source energy points, "golden apple" * 1]

[Confirm upgrade?]

"Confirm!"

As the [golden apple] in the exhibition cabinet before him was illuminated by lights to a dazzling golden radiance,

Chu Hong also saw the effect of its exhibition cabinet.

[Collection]: golden apple

[Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can bring 2 golden apples at the start of a match. Throwing them after inputting source energy can activate an explosion effect. The power is proportional to the amount of source energy inputted, and one is restored every 1 minute.

[Required for upgrade]: 5 million source energy points, [golden apple] * 3

Chu Hong's mouth opened wide in shock into an O shape!

According to his original guess, the exhibition cabinet effect of this [golden apple] would probably be a recovery-type consumable, similar to a healing potion.

But he didn't expect...

"Has the magnetic bomb entered the 2.0 era? So next time, instead of saying answering the call, I should say... Want an apple to cool down your temper?"
