50: Chapter 50 What goes around comes around [Request for more updates]

[Investigation Area: Cliffside Epidemic Hospital (Normal)]

[Evacuation Successful]

[Evacuation Location: East District Cliff Cableway]

[Value of This Operation's Loot: 16.17 million Source Energy Points]

[Source Energy Department · Source Energy Research (III) Completed]: Proceed to the action area "Cliffside Epidemic Hospital", enter the designated area of the [Exotic Beast Research Laboratory] to conduct an Investigation (1/1), and successfully evacuate (1/1).

[Congratulations on unlocking the "Martial Arts Training Room"]

"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."

Special Service Department.

Chu Hong and Ba Xiaoying's figures suddenly appeared.

However, even after returning to the Special Service Department, everyone's status, including Source Energy, would instantly and completely recover, yet Chu Hong still wore a lingering look of fear at this moment.

He lay limply on the ground, breathing heavily.

In his mind, there was only that thrilling scene from just now.

Having been severely wounded by a slash from the [Blood Fiend Butcher] just moments ago, he almost thought he was going to lose his 3x3 again this time, and was still comforting himself in despair, thinking that at least he still had a red card in his pants.

It wasn't a total loss.

"It seemed like the clone of that Dominator attacked at the entrance, and through a bizarre twist of fate, it actually saved me?"

Chu Hong murmured.

Recalling the terrifying scene that had just occurred at the evacuation point in his mind.

"It's best not to consider the real-world mystic realm of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital for now..."

Chu Hong had lingering fears, and beside him, Ba Xiaoying had also dropped the two small scalpels in her hands at this moment.

Looking completely terrified, identical to Chu Hong, she lay sprawled out on the floor of the Special Service Department with no movement for a long time.

After easing his tense nerves for a moment, Chu Hong finally turned his attention to this operation's loot.

A hint of rosy color reappeared on his somewhat pale face.

"Hahahahaha! Two reds in one match! Awesome!"

Especially that three-by-three.

Chu Hong immediately took the items out of his backpack.

The starlight-like brilliant radiance reflected on his face, and the sheer gorgeousness of the football-sized crystal, the [heart of the overlord], in his hand directly stunned Chu Hong into standing frozen in place.

"Holy shit, this looks so sci-fi... Is this that monster's heart?"

Chu Hong thought of the [Dominator] that had pursued him. Names like the previous [Griffin] and [Kraken] were followed by "Mother Body", while only the [Dominator] that chased him seemed to be a clone at the time.

"So, the main body is already dead, leaving only this heart, and then the research team of the Cliffside Epidemic Hospital made a clone..."

Chu Hong pondered, looking at this bright red item information in his hand.

Infusing and fusing with blood and Source Energy allows one to awaken abilities?

Chu Hong was tempted!

But he didn't use it directly at the first moment.

"Brother Tong, if I use this thing, won't I awaken an ability and also have my appearance and image undergo drastic changes?"

Chu Hong asked cautiously.

Such things were not uncommon in the real world.

Not to mention Pioneers on the sci-fi ability side, even many Pioneers on the immortal cultivation, martial arts, and even magic sides would experience irreversible changes in their physical appearance due to the mastery of power.

The more powerful the strength, the more obvious the physical changes it brought.

[Ding! The current host has unlocked the special facility "Martial Arts Training Room"]

[Using this collectible in the "Martial Arts Training Room", the Special Service Department will systematically arrange an absolutely safe and efficient fusion adaptation plan for you]

Chu Hong's eyes lit up instantly.

However.

Immediately afterwards, the system's prompt made his facial expression collapse instantly.

[Ding! Estimated Source Energy Points required for this fusion: 5 million!]

"No way, this thing costs money?!" Chu Hong felt a toothache.

Although both the Special Service Department and the outside real world had the currency known as Source Energy Points.

In reality, however, the two sides were not interchangeable.

In other words.

The collectibles Chu Hong gathered by entering Investigation areas through the Special Service Department could be taken out and sold directly to real-world Pioneer chambers of commerce or guilds.

But the Source Energy Points obtained could not be used inside the Special Service Department.

What was even more awkward was that the recycling department of the Special Service Department offered collection prices for collectibles that were generally more than twice as low as the outside world.

Pure, outright selling at a dirt-cheap price!

Chu Hong looked with an ugly expression at the Source Energy Points he currently possessed in the Special Service Department.

[Source Energy Points: 79,000]

Less than 80,000!

And this was basically all given from doing missions!

"Damn! Five million?! The [precious gold watch] I looted back then was priced at only 300,000 by the recycling department. Five million Source Energy Points, how many knife runs do I have to do for this?!"

[Ding! The host can also choose to sell collectibles obtained from real-world mystic realms to the Special Service Department's recycling department]

[In addition, the red-quality authority card "Core Laboratory Access Card" harvested by the host this time is priced at 4 million Source Energy Points by the recycling department. It is recommended to sell it]

"Am I fucking an idiot?!"

...

"You damn system! This is a purple-quality collectible, and a 2x2 four-grid big purple one! Outside, people's acquisition price is at least 150,000 Source Energy Points, and you give me less than 40,000?!"

"Are you brushing off a stinking beggar?!"

[Ding! Do you want to sell?]

Chu Hong: "..."

Chu Hong had a painful expression; how awesome it was to take things out of the map to sell in reality back then, was how disgusting it was now to sell real-world collectibles cheaply to the Special Service Department's recycling department.

He took out everything he and Wang Suming had obtained from the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] that he hadn't had time to sell yet.

Among them, the equipment and resources of the Black Snake Pioneer Squad and the Hunting Wolf Pioneer Squad were also all taken out by him to sell.

He packaged and sold everything.

Chu Hong's account balance was still at an awkward level.

[Source Energy Points: 2.708 million]

[Ding! The red-quality authority card "Core Laboratory Access Card" harvested by the host this time is priced at 4 million Source Energy Points by the recycling department. It is recommended to sell it]

"Shut up!" Chu Hong said with a gloomy face.

Sell the card?

I, Chu Hong, must be crazy to sell a red card cheaply to the recycling department!

He stood up directly, picked up a large backpack, and tidied up his equipment.

"Entering the Investigation area [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe]!"

Loot runners! The soul of loot running!

Loot running can make one a person above others!

...

Under the night veil of Huangshan Base City, there was still no lack of bustling activity amidst the darkness.

Long-standing peace gave even the lives of ordinary people in this base city a strong sense of mortal hustle and bustle.

And right now in the residential building of the housing complex opposite Chu Hong's home.

Xu Daili anxiously looked at the ball of light above her hands.

As the two purple-quality collectibles wrapped in the center of the light ball gradually melted and reorganized the moment the light balls made contact... the Source Energy in Xu Daili's body also began to consume rapidly.

"Crackling, crackling" sounds of electric arcs densely came from within the light ball.

A layer of fine sweat also broke out on Xu Daili's smooth forehead.

Her gaze stared intently at the scene inside the light ball.

This time, she was synthesizing two collectibles: a [precision printer (purple)] and a [portable machine tool (purple)].

Using the skill [Promotion Anchor], she specified synthesizing the "production tool category" collectibles needed by Chu Hong.

[Promotion Anchor]: A Qiyuan 9th-stage Operator skill. When using the skill [Synthesis Promotion], the type of synthesized collectible can be confirmed. There is a 70% probability of synthesis failure, a 25% probability of synthesizing the same-tier collectible of the specified type, and a 5% probability of synthesizing an upgraded collectible of the specified type.
