132: Chapter 132 [Special Weapons Department]

The effect of the [golden apple] display cabinet exceeded Chu Hong's expectations.

But I have to say, just the fact that the explosive power of this apple is directly proportional to the inputted Source Energy already demonstrates the immense power and potential of this effect.

"One per minute, at least 60 per match, and plus..." Chu Hong's mouth curved up slightly.

"I also have the effect of the lv1 display cabinet for the [precious gold watch], which can instantly end skill cooldowns 3 times per match. That is to say, when facing emergencies, I can instantly pull out three more just as the two golden apples are used up."

Chu Hong's smile gradually began to turn evil.

In this way, he would completely bid farewell to the awkward predicament of only being able to use unranked [magnetic bomb]s to tickle monsters like he did in the past.

"Great, great, great, it still has to be collecting reds. With this thing, skills and equipment and whatnot are all saved."

In an exceptionally good mood, Chu Hong admiringly gazed at the glowing [golden apple] in the display cabinet for a long time before finally taking out the brand-new red item he harvested from this trip.

[Golden Money Tree]!

The moment he placed this red item into the display cabinet, that faint yellow light shone upon it.

Instantly.

The lifelike golden leaves fluttered without any wind, and the golden light reflected on the red-copper-colored trunk, making it look like a divine tree.

"The leaves are gold, and the trunk is red! What a wonderful auspicious meaning!"

[Collectible]: Golden Money Tree

[Display Cabinet Level]: lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

[Upgrade Requirement]: 1 million Source Energy points, [Golden Money Tree] * 1

[Collectible]: Golden Money Tree

[Display Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: For every gold-quality collectible drawn from a container during a match, the probability of drawing red-quality collectibles when searching containers in this match increases by 1%.

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million Source Energy points, [Golden Money Tree] * 3

Chu Hong drew a sharp breath, staring blankly at the panel information in front of him. After repeatedly confirming it several times, he finally convinced himself that he hadn't read it wrong.

Drawing little gold increases the probability of red-quality collectibles?!

Even though it was only 1%.

Even though no matter how one looked at it, this effect was still quite metaphysical.

But this was the effect of the lv1 display cabinet!

What about lv2, or even lv3 display cabinets?!

Chu Hong dared not imagine it, but at this moment, he undoubtedly understood why, among the two benchmark missions, this [Golden Money Tree] valued at over 8 million Source Energy points could rank first alongside the 10-million-valued [mother of the forest]!

[mother of the forest] brings a second life.

While the [Golden Money Tree] realistically brings wealth even more expensive than wealth itself!

Chu Hong was about to enter the secret realm again directly.

The soul of a knife-runner was already burning fiercely.

However.

A sudden prompt from the Special Service Department couldn't help but pause his steps.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host has unlocked the red-quality secondary weapon "biochemical suppression 93r"]

[Detected that the host has unlocked the red-quality primary weapon "inheritor sv-98"]

[Special Weapons Department unlocked]

Chu Hong was stunned.

Immediately afterward, information about this suddenly unlocked department appeared in his mind.

[Special Weapons Department: Provides the host with specialized trial and training missions targeting red-quality weapons, and allows the host to truly merge with the weapons]

Chu Hong was bewildered. What on earth was all this?

What does it mean...

To merge with the weapon?

Suddenly, Chu Hong's pupils shrank slightly.

And just as a trace of terrified guesswork emerged in his heart, in front of him, right before the newly opened rolling shutter door marked with "Special Weapons Department"...

A light curtain lit up.

[Weapon Trial Mission]: "biochemical suppression 93r" — Entry

[Mission Processing Fee]: 100,000 Source Energy points

[Mission Provision]: Blue-quality ammunition, 120 rounds

[Mission Content]: Equip only the weapon "biochemical suppression 93r" to enter any Confidential-grade or higher Investigation area, and headshot 40 enemy targets.

[Mission Reward]: Can be brought into the battle without skin, retains red-quality weapon effects, and will not be dropped upon death or loss within the match.

"Holy crap... Brother Tong, aren't you a bit too considerate? Doing this makes me too embarrassed to wear pants in front of you from now on."

Special Service Department: "..."

Chu Hong was simply moved to tears!

Heaven witness that ever since he obtained the red-quality weapons, he had rarely used them.

Mainly because there was no opportunity.

When he was at the Special Service Department, knife-running made him fear dying and dropping his weapon.

When he arrived in the real-world secret realm, he couldn't explain the source of these things. It was only back when he entered the secret realm alone and fought people from the Black Hole Council that he had the chance to use them.

After that, this top-tier weapon [biochemical suppression 93r]...

Was completely in a state of a pearl covered in dust in his hands.

His excited heart pounded wildly.

He hurriedly looked at the trial mission for the other weapon.

[Weapon Trial Mission]: "inheritor sv-98" — Entry

[Mission Processing Fee]: 100,000 Source Energy points

[Mission Provision]: Gold-quality ammunition, 60 rounds

[Mission Content]: Equip only the weapon "inheritor sv-98" to enter any Confidential-grade or higher Investigation area, and headshot 40 enemy targets.

[Mission Reward]: Can be brought into the battle without skin, retains red-quality weapon effects, and will not be dropped upon death or loss within the match.

Special Service Department: "Paying the processing fee is regarded as claiming the trial mission. That is, if one perishes in a secret realm of Confidential-grade or higher during the mission period, the special weapon will not be lost. To accept it again after mission failure, the fee must be paid once more."

The Special Service Department, which had been cursed by Chu Hong countless times over the issue of collectible recycling prices, suddenly echoed with someone's mournful and utterly ashamed wailing at this moment.

Vaguely, there seemed to even be the sound of kneeling on the ground.

"Wuwuwu, Brother Tong, no! Adoptive father! Wuwuwu, I am not human!"

...

"Is he even human? It's almost noon, and he's still sleeping?!"

Reality, Qianchongzhai Base City, inside the evaluation Black Iron Castle.

Several big shots meeting on the top floor were still chatting idly about the events of the past few days, or discussing whose base city's whomever they favored this year.

A sudden exclamation of astonishment and an angry slam on the table interrupted everyone's conversation.

Jiang Xingdong wore an embarrassed expression and hurriedly grabbed his old friend.

"Old Kong, hey, don't you..."

Kong Mingde, professor of blitzkrieg theory at Ironwall Source Energy University, veteran Pioneer of the eighth stage of the Core Condensation Realm, dispatched inspector for the Great Xia Source Energy evaluations, special editor-in-chief of the Sentinel Pigeon Court, honorary city lord of Huangshan Base City...

Any of these titles casually pulled out would be enough to make a city lord honor someone as a guest of honor.

Everyone looked over curiously.

Then they saw Kong Mingde swiping at the empty space in front of him. Before Jiang Xingdong had time to stop him, a handsome youth lying on a bed and sleeping soundly appeared within a light curtain projection.

"I've looked at this kid's profile; his character is not bad, but this temperament... is it too lazy? Calling him lazy is already praising him! Look at these newcomers; which one of them isn't nervous and taking the evaluation seriously? Everyone is either studying secret realm information to deduce combat plans or preparing equipment strategies. What about him..."

Jiang Xingdong looked embarrassed, holding his old friend: "You, why are you so excited? This old man didn't say anything about taking shortcuts through you or anything like that. Didn't you ask me who I favor this year?"

Kong Mingde stared, feeling more of a heartache for his life-or-death close friend who had gone through the battlefield together with him.

"Having six stages of Source Energy right after joining the evaluation, he's a pretty good kid..." Someone looked at Chu Hong's profile and nodded slightly in evaluation.

"The sixth stage of the Qiyuan Realm, even if he conserves his energy today and does nothing, and then takes conservative actions to gather intelligence after entering the secret realm tomorrow when the evaluation starts, it's still not bad... Old Brother Kong is reacting a bit too strongly."

The person speaking was the city lord of Qianchongzhai Base City, Wang Guangyi.

He smiled and looked at Jiang Xingdong: "Old Brother Jiang fancies this kid named Chu Hong and wants to take him as a student?"

Jiang Xingdong smiled bitterly: "This old bone of mine, with my source core item shattered now, even the position of city lord of Huangshan Base City has to be abdicated to someone more worthy, how can I still teach students?"

He shook his head repeatedly.

However, at this moment, a pair of turbid eyes looked at Chu Hong, who was sleeping soundly on the bed in the light curtain without feeling any evaluation pressure at all, with obvious appreciation for talent in his eyes.

Seeing this, while feeling a pang in his heart for his old friend, Kong Mingde looked at Chu Hong in the light curtain and felt even more exasperated at his failure to live up to expectations.

However.

Chu Hong, who was completely unaware of this at the moment, was standing on the [Ecological Observation Tower] on the east bank of the Confidential-grade [Primitive Valley No. 1], looking with a teasing smile at a monkey head already captured by the scope.

The latter was currently holding an upside-down women's magazine there, reading it earnestly.

A greasy and weird bubble sound came from Chu Hong's throat.

"Ohh ~ baby ~"

"Why aren't you moving anymore ~ If you don't move, then I'm going to move, oh ~"

"Bang!"
