57: Chapter 57 Long Live the Golden Bullet! [400 Urgent Updates]

"Captain Chu should finally rest assured about me now, right?"

[Chieftains Council Hall].

Song Jiaojiao watched with a smile as Chu Hong fumbled across one container after another, putting the blue and purple quality collectibles inside into his backpack, and asked softly.

Seeing that the latter still wore a clumsy, dumbfounded expression, Song Jiaojiao lightly pouted.

"The two of you, you and Wang Suming, didn't make a sound just now. Don't think I don't know what you two were thinking."

Chu Hong smiled as well, but flatly denied it: "I don't understand what you mean by that, classmate Song Jiaojiao. If it weren't for the gold quality lord m14 you provided, along with the gold quality ammunition, we wouldn't have gone through this so smoothly."

"Right!"

Chu Hong grinned and leaned a bit closer to her.

The eager light in his eyes formed a sharp contrast with his previous indifferent appearance.

"Um, classmate Song Jiaojiao, these gold quality bullets are good, but they just don't last long... Uncle Song has the capability, why don't you give me some more gold bullets?"

"As long as the gold bullets are in adequate supply, classmate Song Jiaojiao, I'll definitely clear every map and feast deliciously every single time!"

Chu Hong patted his chest until it made thumping sounds.

However.

Song Jiaojiao's eyes widened into perfect circles in an instant.

"What did you say?! I gave you a full three boxes of gold bullets! Three boxes! One hundred and eighty rounds! You—you fired them all up?!"

At this moment, Song Jiaojiao's voice seemed to have turned sharp.

"Ahem, well, firing them all up isn't quite accurate, but... they're indeed not quite enough."

Chu Hong's face didn't flush and his heart didn't beat wildly.

When a chef touches pork, they're bound to leave a hand full of grease!

I, Chu Hong, brought you into the map to feast deliciously, purely acting as your escort. Is it really excessive to keep some gold bullets privately?

Never mind how many gold bullets I fired.

Just tell me, wasn't this map cleared?!

He cleared his throat, putting on a righteous look.

"These are all normal losses! Song Jiaojiao, I must say you're a rich young lady after all, the sole future successor of the dignified Rubiks Chamber of Commerce. It's just a few gold bullets, no need to make a fuss, right?"

"Besides, you saw it yourself just now. Except when dealing with the boss where I used some gold bullets, when I fought minor monsters, I used blades and swords the whole time! You mustn't suspect an honest person like me, Chu Hong, of embezzling the gold bullets you gave!"

Song Jiaojiao bit her silver teeth in secret.

Could she possibly not know what kind of power gold bullets unleash when fired?

The bullets fired from that lord m14 just now were at most purple quality!

Although she didn't know where Chu Hong got source energy bullets that were strictly controlled by Huangshan Base City, looking at the extremely efficient map-clearing results outside,

she could only take a deep breath,

and said somewhat with difficulty: "I—I'll try my best!"

Completing the map clearance in just over ten minutes.

In the remaining forty-plus minutes, the three of them—Chu Hong and the others—all began to experience a happy annoyance.

Packing!

Song Jiaojiao's backpack was the collectible item [Novice Magician Backpack (Purple)], with a grid capacity of 50 slots.

Chu Hong's was the standard 45-slot military load-bearing backpack, the largest an ordinary person could acquire.

"The value of [kali fruit] is very resilient. It's a supply item that almost every magic-aligned Pioneers buys before entering a secret realm. Take away as much as you can..."

When Song Jiaojiao said this, her eyes were unblinkingly watching Wang Suming, who easily stuffed a whole fruit basket containing a dozen or twenty [kali fruit] into the [profiteering goblins cargo box].

Her heart couldn't help taking another deep breath.

Her gaze towards Chu Hong beside her involuntarily became even deeper.

This fellow was truly willing to spend, but he also genuinely pushed Wang Suming's initial skill [Stack] to its absolute limit.

"There are exactly twenty blue quality [lizardman warrior spear], taking up four slots!"

"Brother Hong, you pack up these small gold coins; putting them in my box is just a waste of slots... There seem to be quite a few of those purple quality collectible wine glasses, come, come, bring them all over to me..."

For over forty minutes.

Wang Suming was responsible for packing, categorizing the collectibles searched out by Chu Hong and the others.

Chu Hong and Song Jiaojiao ran around the whole time searching container after container. As soon as a backpack was filled, they immediately brought it over to Wang Suming.

They were like porters loading cargo onto a heavy-duty truck.

The two were exhausted, but Song Jiaojiao wiped her sweat, her eyes filled with an exhilaration she had never felt before.

"Chu Hong, what kind of terrifying freak have you managed to produce here! 120 slots, and each slot can even Stack 20 identical collectibles... With him in the team, the high-grade collectibles in this entire secret realm are going to be completely looted!"

Looking at Chu Hong returning from the southern watchtower,

Song Jiaojiao's blushing face was full of excitement and thrill.

"Not counting the things on the two of us, just what Wang Suming brings out in this backpack alone can easily sell for tens of millions of source energy points. This is simply more than the combined harvests of the hired Pioneer Squads from our family's chamber of commerce!"

Chu Hong smiled.

In his hand, however, he handed a white-gold feather pen with a crystal texture to her.

"Here, fished out from the [Lizardman Captain Chest] up there, a gold quality magic-aligned item. It's said to be usable for drawing magic scrolls, it should be useful to you..."

Song Jiaojiao's hand, which was touching a wooden wine barrel container, couldn't help pausing.

She looked up in surprise at Chu Hong's face behind the mask.

"For me?"

She looked at the [White Phoenix Feather] handed over by Chu Hong. When her gaze touched the ring worn on Chu Hong's finger, a clear flash of brilliant light crossed her eyes.

"Isn't this bad? We agreed that the three of us would split it evenly. How about when the valuation is done later, I exchange for it using source energy points separately..."

As Song Jiaojiao spoke, her eyes looked at the feather pen in Chu Hong's hand, lightly biting her red lips.

She actually already had this item.

But... at this moment, seeing Chu Hong, who wore matching rings with her, personally give her such a precious gold quality magic pen, it inevitably brought a strange feeling into her heart.

It was just like...

"A box of gold bullets!"

Just as a trace of a maiden's bashful romance emerged in her heart, the next second, Chu Hong's unromantic voice was like a needle, instantly puncturing this pink bubble.

"I..." Song Jiaojiao's eye twitched, and the faint blush on her face was already transforming into an angry crimson.

Chu Hong, however, was unconcerned: "If you feel one box is too much, half a box is fine too... I'm doing this all for the good of our team, right? Do you think that I, Chu Hong, a captain who always rushes to the front in every battle, could have any selfish motives?"

Song Jiaojiao: "..."

Watching the pretty figure leave in indignation as if her steps carried the wind, Chu Hong's face was full of the joyous expression of having made a profit.

Damn it!

With these gold bullets, I, your grandpa, don't believe I can't kill those three divine anomalies of the experimental building!

Meanwhile.

Just when Chu Hong and the others were busy collecting spoils of war and organizing their backpacks,

right now to the east of the valley, in the direction of the extraction point.

Several figures could be seen lying on the periphery of the extraction point at the top of the cliff, peeking and gazing towards the core area.

"Brother Jiang, are we—are we really going to make a move against Song Jiaojiao? She has a full two escorts!"

"Yeah, in case the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce investigates, we won't be able to shake off the blame..."

The two asked with some apprehension.

"Bullshit!" Jiang Minghao, whose face still bore scorch marks, cursed fiercely.

"What do you mean we can't shake off the blame? We didn't enter the secret realm together with them. At most, we had just walked into the teleportation entrance not long ago when they followed us in. With so many teams during this period, why would anyone assume it was us who made a move against Song Jiaojiao?"

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at Song Jiaojiao and the others, those three figures organizing the spoils of war in front of the open space in the core area.

He licked his dry lips.

"Besides, we aren't killing them; we'll just rob their spoils of war and retreat. Here at the extraction point, as long as we ambush them shortly to break their legs first, making them lose their mobility, we'll grab the stuff and run!"

"When the time comes after leaving the secret realm, would the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce dare to openly make a move outside the secret realm?"

Everyone looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant and nervous.

However.

Jiang Minghao's eyes suddenly widened at this moment.

"Quick! Hide quickly!"

"They're coming to extract!"
