185: Chapter 185 "Hoffman Special Missile" Production Station

[Big Red Collection Room].

When the figurine of Primal Little Ape was placed into the display cabinet by Chu Hong.

[Collectible]: Primal Little Ape

[Display Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Non-intrusively assists in combat and searching within secret realms; Primal Little Ape cannot be summoned again for the session after death.

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million Source Energy Points, Primal Little Ape * 3

As a figurine-type red-quality collectible, it started at lv1.

A figure, shrunk several times over within the Special Service Department but still roughly as tall as Chu Hong, abruptly appeared beside Chu Hong.

"Qiè qiè qiè"

"Zha zha zha"

The golden-quality Ba Xiaoying and Ba Xiaohua, who were first brought into the secret realms by Chu Hong to fight early on, could no longer keep up with Chu Hong's growth rate.

They had become mascots accompanying Chu Hong for daily amusement in the Special Service Department.

At this moment, the two little fellows looked curiously from left and right at the suddenly appearing gorilla, and Ba Xiaohua poked Primal Little Ape's boot with the large syringe in her hand.

"From now on, I'll have to trouble you both to enter the secret realms and fight alongside me..."

Chu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

Judging from the source energy fluctuation level, Primal Little Ape was even slightly higher than Ke Xiaoken.

Ke Xiaoken was at the sixth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Meanwhile, Primal Little Ape was fully at the ninth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Chu Hong stroked his chin, looking at Ke Xiaoken's display cabinet.

"It looks like after entering school, I'll need to run the top-secret Cliffside Epidemic Hospital more often to at least level up Ke Xiaoken..."

Ignoring the interaction between the few figurines.

Chu Hong walked straight to another vacant display cabinet.

He took out a gold bar from his backpack.

As he placed the gold bar inside, the effect of the display cabinet immediately appeared before him.

[Collectible]: gold bar

[Display Cabinet Level]: lv0

[Activation Effect]: None

[Upgrade Requirement]: 1 million Source Energy Points, gold bar * 1

[Collectible]: gold bar

[Display Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Paid evacuation point cost -10,000 Source Energy Points

[Upgrade Requirement]: 5 million Source Energy Points, gold bar * 3

"Holy cow! You can even play it like this?!"

Looking at the display cabinet effect of the gold bar, Chu Hong couldn't help but twitch his eyes fiercely.

He had guessed beforehand what the display cabinet effect of the gold bar would be.

He had guessed it might be some kind of physical attribute enhancement.

But no matter what, he never expected.

This gadget turned out to be an "in-game paid evacuation point coupon"!

At this moment, Chu Hong didn't even know how to express himself.

Generally speaking.

Not all secret realms had paid evacuation points, and even if they did, the cost for a normal-grade paid evacuation was only 10,000 Source Energy Points, confidential-grade required 40,000, and top-secret-grade was said to be 100,000.

"In other words, if I run normal-grade maps in the future, the paid evacuation for me will directly become a regular evacuation..."

One could only say it was a bit underwhelming.

But something was better than nothing.

Perhaps in the future, after upgrading the display cabinet effect, the amount of the "coupon" would be larger.

This display cabinet effect could then shine brightly in top-secret-grade secret realms.

When Chu Hong came out of the Special Service Department.

Stepping out of his room again and arriving at Song Jiaojiao's room, the latter was still soundly asleep on the bed.

"Hmph, what a little weakling..."

With a smug smile, Chu Hong simply told Uncle Fu and went out to handle today's serious business.

...

The old residential area where Chu Hong's home was located.

When Chu Hong once again transformed into Yanzu and appeared before Xu Daili, the latter was so excited she almost cried on the spot.

"You bastard, where the hell have you been these past few days? Your communicator wasn't responding either..."

Chu Hong looked at Xu Daili, whose hair was a bit messy and whose eyes carried a hint of red and swelling.

If he didn't know this fellow was purely worried about her "meal ticket" running away, anyone who didn't know better would think he, Chu Hong, had abandoned this woman after toying with her affections.

Rolling his eyes speechlessly.

"Clean up. Old Tang will be coming over here in a bit, and I have something to announce next..."

Seeing Xu Daili instantly widen her eyes in tension, Chu Hong glared at her exasperatedly.

"Rest assured, you haven't lost your job! And I haven't gone bankrupt!"

Only then did Xu Daili finally feel at ease.

Just as Xu Daili was cleaning up and washing herself.

While waiting for Donald, Chu Hong instead looked at the pile of things stacked in the corner of the room.

[High-Precision Silicon-Based 3D Printing Equipment] that could be used to produce flying bird drones.

In addition was a synthesis task that Chu Hong had previously assigned to Xu Daili.

[Item Name]: "Hoffman Special Ammo" Production Bench

[Item Grade]: Gold

[Value]: 664,186

[Type]: Production Tool

[Weight]: 271kg

[Backpack Grid Capacity Occupied]: 5 × 6

[Item Description]: A complete integrated ammunition production workbench combining integrated ammo manufacturing, equipped with full production capabilities ranging from manufacturing cartridge cases, primers, propellants, to bullet tips. It can also specifically produce a special ammunition targeting "omega virus-infected bodies" — Hoffman Special Ammo!

"You actually managed to synthesize this thing successfully?!"

Looking at Xu Daili, who came out of the bathroom after washing up and was still wiping her hair, Chu Hong wore a look of pleasant surprise.

Xu Daili, however, curled her lips.

"I already finished it three or four days ago, and originally wanted to give you a surprise, but you ended up acting like you lost contact... If you hadn't shown up after a few more days, this lady was ready to sell this thing for Source Energy Points!"

Thick resentment.

At this moment, Chu Hong could only smile and accompany this darling with a smile.

"Oh, wasn't I delayed by important matters? Daili, you know me; everything I do is for our team!"

"We are a team! Family!"

Watching this good-looking fellow make unreasonable demands here again, Xu Daili rolled her eyes lightly.

Too lazy to listen to this fellow's nonsense anymore.

"So my dear Captain, suddenly visiting this humble abode of mine, you must have some instructions again, right? Spit it out, don't beat around the bush."

Chu Hong: "..."

Twitching the corner of his eye, Chu Hong didn't continue wasting words.

He directly placed the backpack he brought on his back onto the table.

And took out two items separately.

One was the purple-quality hunting lock gun used by Wang Suming.

The other was a bone spike full of the gruesome extraterrestrial biological texture.

It was impressively one of the two minor gold items that Chu Hong had previously looted from the ruler of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital.

[Ruler's Black Spike].

"These materials in the backpack are some collectibles I collected during this period that can enhance the hunting lock gun. You can use them as consumption materials for synthesis to first upgrade the hunting lock gun from purple quality to gold..."

Xu Daili widened her eyes.

Looking at Chu Hong: "Then you don't intend to have me synthesize this gold-quality weapon with this gold-quality black spike, do you?"

Chu Hong nodded.

"That's right! What? Is there a difficulty?"

Xu Daili pursed her lips, seeming to ponder something: "How soon do you want the result?"

"Three days!"

"Three days?!" Xu Daili widened her eyes, her voice pitching sharp as she looked at Chu Hong like he was an idiot.

"Do you think my synthesis skill is what? Whatever I want to synthesize, I can just synthesize?! That consumes source energy, and besides..."

Before she could finish saying and besides.

Xu Daili's eyes instantly turned gentle and considerate the moment she saw something suddenly appear in Chu Hong's hand.

"Besides what?" Chu Hong smiled.

Holding a glittering precious gold watch in his hand, wearing a half-smile.

"Oh, Captain~" Xu Daili's voice turned melodic, seemingly carrying a hint of a Wu region woman's accent.

"What besides? What besides is there! You must have misheard, Captain. Isn't it just three days? As long as the materials are sufficient, three days is not a problem at all..."

While the two were talking, the room door was knocked on.

Xu Daili stepped forward to open the door.

"Hehe, hearing that you lost contact, this old man thought I could retire."

Ever since that time this old fellow went to the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital with Chu Hong, intercepted the Black Hole Council, and brought back a large amount of precious intelligence regarding the secret realm Cliffside Epidemic Hospital for the base city.

The painful matter of his teammates dying miserably in the secret realm was also temporarily put aside.

He also had the mood to joke around with Chu Hong.

After Donald sat down and they exchanged a few brief pleasantries.

Chu Hong finally stated his true purpose.

"I plan to take our entire squad and transfer to the Xialong Base City in the central district."
