196: Chapter 196 [Heart of Domination] Display Case LV1

"Sister Song, do you need an escort? The kind with a hundred percent evacuation..."

Luo Xin looked at Song Jiaojiao with glowing eyes.

Rather than exchanging pleasantries with people from the He Group, it was better to fall under the pomegranate skirt of the young lady of the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce right before her; at least this person in front of her definitely wouldn't lust after her body.

She grabbed one of Song Jiaojiao's hands full of anticipation.

"As long as I'm around, wherever there is danger in the secret realm, I can know it at the very first moment. I guarantee that entering the map for you will be just like going home."

As if worried that Song Jiaojiao wouldn't believe her, she even brought out her signature awakened skill.

[Danger Assessment]: A Tier 9 Qiyuan operative skill that marks and assesses the danger level and killing intent grade of any target.

There wasn't much information about the skill, but the details it revealed made Chu Hong's gaze towards Luo Xin change in that instant.

"Sister Song, as long as I control the killing intent grade of my skill below C-rank, even if I pass in front of some monsters in the secret realm, they won't attack me. Especially in those secret realms with neutral units, with me here, we won't even need to bring weapons. We just need to carry a backpack each and go in to stock up..."

Luo Xin boasted proudly.

Things were, of course, far from as simple as she described, but the information revealed was already quite impressive.

A pure intelligence role, but she was a human radar.

If the other party could truly use their skill to clearly define the realm range and attack range of the NPCs in the secret realm, it would indeed systematically avoid the dangers of many areas.

Circling around and not getting close to the NPCs' attack range.

Entering the map and stocking up without weapons was not entirely impossible.

Even... if combined with Song Jiaojiao's skill [Invisibility].

Hiss...

Chu Hong nodded slightly at Song Jiaojiao to signal his thoughts.

Such a person, who was also a freshman of Longming Sacred Academy, could indeed play a significant role in the team if she could be roped in.

Song Jiaojiao naturally understood Luo Xin's intrinsic value.

She smiled and nodded.

Returning to Song Family Manor, Song Jiaojiao had someone arrange accommodation for Luo Xin, while Chu Hong sought out President Song Ming.

"Uncle Song, there is a matter I might need your help with. Could you please help me gather information on the He Group, especially their subordinate Pioneers teams—how many teams there are, where they usually operate, or which secret realms they enter..."

...

[Special Service Department].

Spending the entire day finally making time to enter the [Special Service Department], Chu Hong immediately walked into the [Big Red Collection Room].

He first came before the display cabinet for the [fenrirs flame sac].

"Upgrade the [fenrirs flame sac] display cabinet!"

[Ding!]

[Upgrade: fenrirs flame sac display cabinet lv0 → lv1]

[Requires 1 million source energy points, "fenrirs flame sac" * 1]

[Confirm upgrade?]

"Confirm!"

As a few more spotlights lit up inside the display cabinet before him,

Chu Hong also saw the effect of the lv1 [fenrirs flame sac] display cabinet.

[Collectible]: fenrirs flame sac

[Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can bring 2 Hellfire Sacs at the start. Throwing them after inputting source energy can activate a burning effect. Units touched by the flame will be forcibly forced into a burning state.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 5 million source energy points, [fenrirs flame sac] * 3

Chu Hong's eyes instantly lit up.

It was actually an effect similar to the [golden apple]!

"Hahaha, the [golden apple] from the lv2 cabinet has five at the start. Now, coupled with the two starting 'incendiary bombs', holy cow..."

However, this wasn't the end of it.

Chu Hong immediately walked over to the display cabinet of the [precious gold watch].

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

[Ding!]

[Upgrade: fenrirs flame sac display cabinet lv1 → lv2]

[Requires 5 million source energy points, "precious gold watch" * 3]

[Confirm upgrade?]

"Upgrade!"

The golden spotlights of the cabinet shone onto the luxurious and exquisite [precious gold watch], the light piercing straight into Chu Hong's eyes.

And the effect of the lv2 [precious gold watch] display cabinet made Chu Hong's scalp tingle with awe.

[Collectible]: precious gold watch

[Cabinet Level]: lv2

[Activation Effect]: Cooldown-type skills or collectible-type weapons can instantly end their cooldown period. Maximum of 5 uses per single match; maximum daily usage limit of 10 times outside of real-world secret realms.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 10 million source energy points, [precious gold watch] * 10

"Awesome! Absolutely genius!"

The lv2 cabinet effect of the [precious gold watch] made Chu Hong so excited that his mouth wouldn't close. Not to mention the two extra uses, even the lv2 display cabinet effect granted permission for real-world use outside of secret realms.

In other words, even outside the secret realm, if Chu Hong encountered danger in reality,

he could still utilize the cabinet's effect to instantly restore the reserve quantity of [golden apple] or hellfire sacs.

Chu Hong took a deep breath to calm his excited heart.

With a solemn expression, he walked up in front of the next display cabinet.

What came next was the main event!

"Upgrade the [heart of the overlord] display cabinet!"

[Ding!]

[Upgrade: heart of the overlord display cabinet lv0 → lv1]

[Requires 1 million source energy points, "heart of the overlord" * 1]

[Confirm upgrade?]

"Confirm!"

As the light bloomed, Chu Hong stared intently at the [heart of the overlord] display cabinet in front of him as it advanced to lv1 amidst a burst of golden light.

This was a super-tier red item worth tens of millions of source energy points!

Among all the red items Chu Hong had encountered so far, only the [flower of eternity] could compare to it. Even the [mother of the forest], worth over 9 million source energy points, was somewhat inferior to the [heart of the overlord].

[Collectible]: heart of the overlord

[Cabinet Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Can be activated once per match. Can forcibly issue an order to any non-human ordinary unit or boss, commanding them to complete one of your attack commands. Duration: 3 minutes.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 5 million source energy points, [heart of the overlord] * 3

"Holy crap!!!"

"Brother Tong, are you trying to fly to the heavens!"

Chu Hong directly leaned back tactically, looking at the lv1 cabinet effect, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Issue an order to a boss? Even though it was only for 3 minutes and could only be used once per match,

Chu Hong had already instantly thought of how to use this ability.

Make a boss attack another boss.

Make a boss attack the team within the instance.

Or for instance, when encountering the boss guarding a red item, a simple command could lure the opponent away, allowing them to happily loot the open-air red items or insurance containers in the boss's lair.

...

"Hiss..." President Sha Lie pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache.

Looking at Jiang Long, who had secretly returned to the base city, he handed a stack of photos to the other party with an ugly expression.

"You've seen the situation too. That old bastard Jiang Xingdong values that kid Chu Hong far beyond our imagination. Not only did he personally lead a team into the map to mentor him, but after returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he's continuing to tutor him."

"Wanting to eliminate him inside the base city... is difficult!"

"Unless that kid leaves the team and goes out into the wilderness alone, otherwise, I currently can't think of any way to deal with him."

Jiang Long looked at the photos in his hand.

"Song Jiaojiao is President Song Ming's daughter; she's not easy to deal with."

"There are guards specially arranged by the Armed Forces Department around Wang Suming's house, so it's not easy to alert the enemy."

Jiang Long's hand suddenly stopped on a photo, looking at an unfamiliar girl in the picture.

"Who is this?"
