149: Chapter 149 A fully fused red-quality weapon!

Unaware that he was already regarded as a must-have "treasure" by some big shot at this moment, when Chu Hong led his squad members to evacuate from the secret realm once again,

they suddenly and surprisingly discovered.

At the entrance of their temporary residence, several figures looked as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

This made Chu Hong's heart skip a beat.

So much so that source energy vibrations appeared on him and Song Jiaojiao beside him, and their respective source energy levels increased by one rank, both of which he directly ignored.

Could it be that the Supervision Department discovered what happened in the secret realm?

And how should he explain the fact that his head was chopped off by Jiang Long, yet miraculously nothing happened to him?

Chu Hong was filled with worry. At this moment, Kong Mingde had already stepped forward and looked at Chu Hong with a solemn expression.

"You're Chu Hong, right? I am the secret realm evaluation supervisor, Kong Mingde... Regarding your tactic of blockading the evacuation point in the evaluation secret realm recently, I have some things to explain to you."

Both Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming's expressions changed slightly.

They looked at Chu Hong.

However.

Hearing this, far from being nervous, Chu Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Alright, please go ahead, Supervisor Kong. Could it be that the Supervision Department feels my tactic violates the rules?"

Kong Mingde shook his head.

"It doesn't quite count as a violation. There are no rules within the secret realm to begin with. The so-called secret realm evaluation is meant to test the Pioneers' adaptability inside the secret realm. The fact that you were able to think of seizing the commanding height [Ecological Observation Tower] in the first instance to ambush the evacuation point is in itself a manifestation of capability..."

He paused, his face bearing a hint of a pedantic schoolmaster's stiffness, faintly carrying a bit of helplessness and a wry smile.

Even Jiang Xingdong, the mayor of Huangshan Base City whom Chu Hong knew standing behind him, wore an obvious smile on his face. Not only was there not the slightest disdain in his eyes for Chu Hong's behavior of blockading the evacuation point, but he was even... quite proud!

"I am just notifying you routinely. Regarding your recent tower-blockading behavior, the Great Xia Central Secret Realm Evaluation Supervision Bureau has already received multiple violation reports against this behavior of yours. Although these were all rejected by the central authorities, but... Longming Sacred Academy, which you applied to, has issued a warning regarding your actions."

Hearing this,

the expressions of Chu Hong and the other two all sank.

"Doesn't the evaluation only look at scores? How come there is such a thing as a warning midway through the evaluation?"

Chu Hong's eyes carried more or less a bit of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Jiang Xingdong hurriedly helped explain from the side: "It doesn't count as a warning. Actually, you can understand it as a form of high regard!"

High regard?

He had never heard of the saying that "tearing up an examinee's test paper" is a form of high regard for the examinee.

"The tactic of blockading the evacuation point can indeed allow you to easily complete the three scores required by the secret realm evaluation. Furthermore, your current scores already surpass the vast majority of examinees."

"What Longming Sacred Academy means is... that you should showcase your abilities in other aspects."

Looking at Jiang Xingdong's blatant winking and hinting, Chu Hong finally understood the meaning behind this matter.

"We've caught the eye of a big shot from Longming Sacred Academy?"

Jiang Xingdong smiled without answering, but made it clear by defaulting to confirmation.

Kong Mingde cleared his throat and calmly reminded them.

"You can view this as an exceptional test. You can choose not to accept it, but danger and opportunity coexist. If you can complete it, once you enter Longming Sacred Academy, you will also be newcomers who receive key attention."

Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming were already so excited they could hardly control themselves.

Chu Hong nodded.

"Alright, thank you Supervisor Kong for letting us know. Next, my teammates and I will change our tactic and no longer blockade the evacuation point."

"Ahem, actually, when necessary, blockading when needed isn't completely out of the question..." Jiang Xingdong muttered with a dry cough in a low voice.

Chu Hong smiled in gratitude.

To some extent, this old mayor Jiang Xingdong could be considered Chu Hong's "family back home."

The group left.

Wang Suming instantly became nervous.

"Brother Hong, are we really not going to blockade the evacuation point anymore? If we don't, are we supposed to go into the core area to search for containers like those people?"

It was clear.

The tactic of blockading the evacuation point was truly addictive. Wang Suming and Song Jiaojiao, who had initially been somewhat resistant, no longer voiced any objections whenever Chu Hong proposed blockading the tower.

Furthermore... Wang Suming had already tasted the sweetness of it.

Seeing him looking so listless, acting as if he had just suffered a heartbreak after leaving the tower, Chu Hong couldn't help but curse with a smile and kick him.

"Get lost! It's fine for a loner like me who isn't afraid of karmic retribution to blockade the evacuation point, but you have a father and a mother, what the hell are you blockading the evacuation point for..."

He took a deep breath and turned back to look at the hazy light of the portal behind him.

"Blockading the tower was originally meant to get you familiar with the map first, letting you know the rhythm and locations inside this secret realm. Now that someone wants to see some new tricks... I might as well take you to witness the grand scene of this secret realm!"

Both of them successively revealed curious expressions.

However,

Chu Hong deliberately kept them in suspense.

"Rest first. After resting for two hours, we will enter the secret realm again!"

Returning to his own residence,

Chu Hong immediately lay down on the bed the first chance he got, then closed his eyes.

The original bed was quietly replaced with a clone by the [Special Service Department] without anyone noticing.

Entering the [Special Service Department].

Chu Hong came to the [Big Red Collection Room] at the very first moment.

As Chu Hong placed the new Big Red item in his hand, the [dukes cane], into the display cabinet,

a beam of light lit up within the cabinet, shining upon that elegant and luxurious cane.

And Chu Hong also saw the effect of the Lv1 display cabinet at this time.

[Collectible]: dukes cane

[Display Cabinet Level]: Lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

[Upgrade Requirement]: 1 million source energy points, [dukes cane] * 1

[Collectible]: dukes cane

[Display Cabinet Level]: Lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can broadcast music across the entire map within a match, forcing all Pioneers in the match to listen to it.

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million source energy points, [dukes cane] * 3

Chu Hong: "..."

The first second he saw this special effect, Chu Hong thought he was seeing things. When he looked at it again, he was thoroughly dumbfounded by the effect of this skill.

What the hell kind of full-map music broadcast is this...

What the heck is the use of this!

Except for those show-offs who like to flaunt and act cocky, who would need such an outrageous display cabinet effect?!

Chu Hong curled his lips in disappointment.

Then he came before the [Special Weapons Department].

[Weapon Trial Quest]: "inheritor sv-98" — Peak

[Quest Fee]: 1 million source energy points

[Quest Provider]: Unlocks purchase channels for Gold Quality 7 ammunition

[Quest Content]: Carry "inheritor sv-98" into any secret realm above Confidential level in reality, eliminate no less than 8 in-match operatives per match, and successfully evacuate for 5 consecutive matches.

[Quest Reward]: "inheritor sv-98" fully bound

As the panel in front of him lit up, after Chu Hong submitted the quest,

a beam of light suddenly lit up on Chu Hong's body. Following closely, Chu Hong felt as if something currently existing in a special space had appeared within his body.

He only needed to move his mind.

"Swish!"

The jeweled, white-gold [inheritor sv-98] in his hand appeared before him, floating beside him.

Chu Hong could already perceive

that the connection between himself and this weapon at this moment had reached the level of complete fusion.

It was just like playing video games in his past life.

Switching weapons only took an instant, unlike in reality where it needed to be taken from a backpack or from behind his back.

"Swish!" Amidst a burst of red light, the [inheritor sv-98] instantly appeared in his hands, and then with another "swish," it instantly turned into red light and dissipated.

"Swish swish swish..."

Chu Hong was amused.

Instantly, he couldn't help but look at the other and final quest in the [Special Weapons Department] that needed to be completed in reality.

[Weapon Trial Quest]: "biochemical suppression 93r" — Peak

[Quest Fee]: 1 million source energy points

[Quest Provider]: Unlocks purchase channels for ammunition of any quality

[Quest Content]: Carry "biochemical suppression 93r" into any secret realm above Confidential level in reality, eliminate no less than 8 in-match operatives per match, and successfully evacuate for 5 consecutive matches.

[Quest Reward]: "biochemical suppression 93r" fully bound

...

Two hours later.

The three of Chu Hong gathered in front of the secret realm portal once again.

A flash of white light.

The moment they opened their eyes, the three of them immediately determined the location they had descended into this time.

[Parino Valley Base] Position One!
