73: Crazy Night

Early morning.

As the first rays of sunlight peeked over the clouds, Xiao Yun emerged from the Forbidden Zone.

"6 AM... almost time... almost time to go home, wash up, and get ready for school..."

Xiao Yun glanced at his phone, muttering weakly to himself.

He had deep dark circles under his eyes.

He had spent the entire night in the Forbidden Zone, frantically running his dagger.

At night, the sky above Dam No. 0 also grew dark.

Only high-resource areas like the Administrative District and the Substation still glowed with lights.

For an entire night, Xiao Yun shuttled back and forth between two worlds of darkness.

Now, as the night receded and day arrived, he finally saw a ray of sunlight.

And this night, he had reaped a bountiful harvest.

He hadn't realized before that most operatives preferred to act at night.

Although the light was dim at night, the Asala Soldiers also slept at night.

Soldiers took turns on guard and lookout, and the military strength was much weaker than during the day.

Conversely, with more people, the drop rate also increased significantly.

Although he had spent the whole night fighting in the Ordinary Dam, Xiao Yun still managed to get two little reds.

【Material: Spinosaurus Fossil

Rarity: Red

Price: 350040】

【Material: experimental data

Rarity: Red

Price: 240258】

The Spinosaurus Fossil was found in a mixer truck at the Cement Factory, and the experimental data came from an even more surprising location!

It was in the room with the computer case on the first floor of the Small Substation.

And it wasn't even found in the computer case, but in the small express box next to it!

That's right, it was that small cubic cardboard box!

Xiao Yun never expected to find a little red in this material spawn point.

One must know that the drop rate for material spawn points like small express boxes is extremely low.

If it were someone from the game in his previous life, they might have just looted the computer case at the Small Substation and left, not even bothering to look at the small express box.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun was meticulous; if he had also ignored this cardboard box like others, he wouldn't have found this experimental data!

"Sigh, it's a pity I didn't see Saeed all night..."

Xiao Yun murmured, his voice weary.

The next system quest was to kill Saeed once in a match.

However, despite running his dagger all night, Xiao Yun hadn't encountered Saeed again.

But besides that.

Xiao Yun also almost always extracted with over 500,000 in each run, and the two runs where he found red items, he looted more, extracting with over a million in each.

In nearly ten hours, he earned a whopping twelve million!

And with this money, Xiao Yun successfully upgraded his family heirloom dagger to an epic level.

【military dagger

Type: family heirloom

Level: 50

Damage: 80

Movement Speed Bonus: 50%

Attack Speed: Fast

Attack Range: Short

Special Skill: Armor Penetration (Ignores armor level)

Upgrade Requirement: military telescope x1】

It directly went from level 25 to level 50, and its damage had reached an exaggerated 80 points.

And the movement speed bonus was even more terrifying, directly reaching 50%.

If Xiao Yun were to equip the military dagger now, his speed would be more terrifying than a sprint champion!

It's just that the Olympic sprint competition doesn't allow knives, otherwise Xiao Yun would easily win.

The reason he stopped at level 50 was also an unexpected one for Xiao Yun.

It wasn't because he ran out of money, but because he ran out of supplies!

Before upgrading to level 50, the upgrade materials were always single-slot small gold items.

High-speed solid-state drives, programmable processors, small gold coffee, and so on.

After upgrading to level 50, he needed to use four-slot gold items for upgrades.

Although the military telescope only costs about double the price of a small gold item, around 100,000 each.

But the Eight Warehouse Exchange in Haibei North Port simply didn't have 16 military telescopes in stock!

Therefore, after spending five million on upgrades, Xiao Yun still had over seven million remaining, but no more room for upgrades.

"I'm tired, so tired... I wonder if this thing will work?"

Xiao Yun looked at the red syringe in his hand, a bit hesitant.

【Material: Physical Strength Enhancer

Rarity: Purple

Price: 48775】

What he held in his hand were three Physical Strength Enhancers he had found in the Forbidden Zone.

Each one was priced at 50,000, but Xiao Yun chose not to sell them, instead wanting to keep them to test their effects himself.

In the game, this injection was used to accelerate stamina recovery and increase stamina capacity.

Logically, since Xiao Yun felt physically exhausted now, injecting one should also work.

However, he wasn't sure if this thing could eliminate physical fatigue.

And as a product from the Forbidden Zone, Xiao Yun didn't need to worry about any side effects.

So, he steeled himself, picked up the little red needle, and injected it into his hand.

"Ah! Fifty thousand!"

Xiao Yun still felt a great deal of heartache.

He had never dared to use these 50,000-per-syringe injections in the game in his previous life.

When he found them in medical kits, he would always stash them in his secure container.

But at this moment, to recover his condition, he couldn't care less.

"Hmm?"

"..."

"Ah!?"

Seeing the item that appeared in his system inventory, Xiao Yun gasped.

No way, buddy!?
