225: Chapter 225 Rules and the following diagram

[Special Service Department].

Right in front of several people who had successfully been registered into the Special Service Department and become his official teammates, Chu Hong operated the light screen of the Action Department.

"Selecting a map. Currently, there are only three maps here: one is the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe], one is the [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital], and the other is the evaluation secret realm, [Primitive Valley No. 1]."

"Among them, the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] only has the Normal difficulty, while the [Cliffside Epidemic Hospital] and [Primitive Valley No. 1] have three difficulties ranging from Normal to Top-Secret..."

Chu Hong said.

At this moment, whether it was Song Jiaojiao or Donald's side, they immediately guessed even more heaven-defying functions of the [Special Service Department] from these three maps.

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and envy.

Chu Hong first selected the secret realm [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe]. As a burst of light lit up, the figures of several people disappeared from within the [Special Service Department] the next second.

And they appeared within the familiar secret realm map of the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe].

Southern Cliffside Crossroads.

The figures of the five-person full team—Chu Hong, Song Jiaojiao, Wang Suming, Xu Daili, and Luo Xin—suddenly descended.

As for Donald's figure, it appeared at the spawn point at the river valley entrance under the cliff.

A red light flashed in Chu Hong's hand.

The display cabinet effect of the [dukes cane] activated!

The next second, Chu Hong's voice rang in everyone's ears within the secret realm.

"Just as you see now, this secret realm has no difference whatsoever from the real-world [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] outside, whether it's the drop rate of loot, the strength of monsters, the spawn locations of high-value supplies, evacuation times, evacuation locations, and so on."

"There is not the slightest difference at all!"

"But inside this secret realm... none of us will truly die."

Chu Hong raised his hand.

The next second, four or five [golden apple]s and hellfire pouches traced several parabolas.

And landed on the [Southern Cliffside Watchtower] at the edge of the cliff in front of them.

In an instant.

Shrill and sharp screams of Lizardmen, accompanied by violent explosions, resounded through the entire valley.

Wang Suming stepped forward out of curiosity and reached out to touch the corpse of a [Lizardman Warrior].

The next second.

A black search box appeared in front of him, and then, a slightly crude green jade bracelet appeared in his hand.

[Item Name]: Emerald Bracelet

[Item Tier]: Blue

[Value]: 18,420

[Type]: Craft Collection

[Weight]: 0.1 kg

[Backpack Grid Capacity Occupied]: 1 × 1

[Item Description]: The aesthetic of the beastmen is crude, but not entirely lacking. Their handicraft processing skills are also not backward; this is a very popular gemstone bracelet.

Wang Suming and everyone else widened their eyes in unison.

"Holy shit, the monsters in here can actually be searched for collectibles..." Wang Suming's eyes turned red in an instant, as if he had seen an endless desert made entirely of gold sand.

Chu Hong smiled and nodded, his voice calm, but the shock it revealed resounded in the hearts of everyone on this map at this moment.

"The collectibles inside here can be taken out into the real world. Even grand reds can be taken out, and there won't be any discounts or weakening."

"Hiss..."

Without nerfs, how is this playable?!

At this moment, everyone stared blankly at the calm-looking Chu Hong, and in their hearts, they all silently murmured and mourned for Chu Hong's future enemies.

Chu Hong's future enemies might not even know until they die.

Just what kind of shameless and helpless bastard they were facing.

Song Jiaojiao took a deep breath, looking out over this entire Investigation area, which besides them, only contained the monsters of the secret realm.

If her awakened initial skill was such a terrifying ability, she would definitely not hesitate to find a place first and silently hunker down for a dozen years.

When she came out of the secret realm again, she would definitely become an existence close to a god.

However, Chu Hong's subsequent words directly crushed this unrealistic fantasy of hers.

"Of course, not everything here is the same as the external secret realms... Evacuating from the secret realm of the [Special Service Department], no matter how many times, will not provide any natural Source Energy enhancement."

Chu Hong shrugged, but he didn't see how disappointed everyone was.

Instead, they all looked somewhat relieved.

Seeing that everyone gradually understood, a capitalist-like benevolent gaze gradually appeared in Chu Hong's eyes.

As everyone gathered with Donald under the cliff.

Chu Hong clapped his hands.

"Alright, that's enough of the introduction. Next, let's talk about serious business... The [Special Service Department] has quite a few functions that you can also use, for example, the [Martial Arts Training Room] can allow you to perfectly fuse with a certain grand red..."

His gaze slowly swept over Song Jiaojiao and Xu Daili, and the pupils of both shrank noticeably.

"Of course, this is not free; even when I use it, it's not free." He smiled bitterly and shrugged.

"From now on, you can boldly and assuredly do knife-runs to make money through the [Special Service Department], or even loot grand reds, but you must hand over half of the harvest as a fee. I think this point is very reasonable."

His gaze swept lightly across the crowd.

Donald took the lead to nod: "No need to worry about death, and even less need to worry about being ambushed by other teams. This is a sure-win business without any losses. A fifty-fifty split—you could even say you are subsidizing us with this."

"Actually, an eighty-twenty or seventy-thirty split is also acceptable to me." He smiled slightly.

At his level, he no longer cared much about Source Energy points, but the function of the [Martial Arts Training Room] mentioned by Chu Hong was something he couldn't refuse.

Everyone else also nodded successively.

Those who could be successfully registered by the system and join the [Special Service Department] didn't need to worry about anyone pulling tricks over such minor details.

About this, Chu Hong was very reassured.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Lastly, regarding red-quality collectibles... I must have priority allocation rights. If any of you drop a red-quality item, you can keep the rest of the harvest yourselves, but the red-quality collectibles must be distributed to me first."

"In the future, we will be comrades who entrust our lives to one another, so you don't need to worry that I will disregard your strength improvement and forcibly demand things you need. Red-quality collectibles have other uses for me."

As he spoke, Chu Hong raised the [dukes cane] in his hand, which was in an energy state.

Everyone understood immediately.

Song Jiaojiao nodded: "I have no problem!"

Luo Xin raised her hand: "I have no problem either! I'll listen to the captain!"

She liked this place way too much. Not having to worry about death—how was that any different from entering a map to go shopping?

The rest, Xu Daili, Donald, and others, also nodded successively to show their approval.

Seeing this, Chu Hong smiled slightly.

"Alright then, let's... get to work!"

Core area of the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe].

With a shout of "Flowers, come!" Chu Hong directly transformed into a human-shaped timed map-clearing cheat.

Wielding the [savage], he looked even more like a mad beast than that group of Lizardmen in the secret realm at this moment, his hand axe swinging out afterimages.

Behind him, Song Jiaojiao and the others split up to act, either taking secret paths or sweeping up goods and picking up trash.

Chu Hong had already killed his way to the front of the bosses—the Lizardman Chieftain and the Lizardman Priest.

Terrifying strength coupled with the sonic deterrence skill triggered by [savage].

The two bosses that once required him to use various detours and even tricks to kill were now, in front of him, no different from the [Lizardman Warrior] lying all over the ground around them.

Ten minutes later.

Three minutes later, Chu Hong directly arrived at the secret realm evacuation point.

Evacuate the secret realm.

After waiting in the Special Service Department for five minutes, the figures of Song Jiaojiao and the others reappeared.

"Brother Hong! A red item dropped on the very first round, holy shit!"
