Dongfeng Express!

Inside a secret room, several figures sat on chairs, looking at each other.

Each of them exuded a terrifying aura!

"The Deputy Cult Chief Agent of the Azure Robe Society died in battle two days ago, killed while testing the Golden Wing Tower's new Dark Envoy," a pot-bellied fat man spoke.

"To be precise, that abnormal man was instantly killed by the new Dark Envoy, with just one palm!" A short, middle-aged man beside him had a gloomy expression!

The only remaining man in a green robe looked grim, because the one who died in battle was their own Azure Robe Society's Deputy Cult Chief Agent!

The three of them each represented a branch of the Secret Sect.

"It just goes to show, they truly are a national organization. We barely managed to kill one Dark Envoy, and they immediately sent an even more ruthless one to take his place!"

"If you ask me, if our Cult Chief Agents were to act, how could these Deputy Envoys still be so arrogant!"

"Hmph, if our Cult Chief Agents could act, they would have already! For now, let's be more docile. Don't provoke that new Dark Envoy. This man should be the Mad Beast rumored recently."

...

...

It was another night after completing his patrol, and Chen Fan was preparing to get off work when he couldn't help but frown and ask the question that had been bothering him for the past few days!

"Rose, the high-level combatants of the Secret Sect clearly all possess Viscera Tempering combat power, especially those Deputy Cult Chief Agents, whose strength is maintained at around the eighth or ninth layer of Viscera Tempering. Not to mention, each Cult Chief Agent of the three Secret Sect branches possesses the strength of the Quenching Marrow Realm!"

Chen Fan asked seriously, "According to the Golden Wing Tower's strength, if they all swarmed us, wouldn't we be unable to resist? They shouldn't fear us at all!"

This was the question that had been worrying Chen Fan these past few days. Although he wasn't afraid of a Quenching Grandmaster, a fully armed Marrow Quenching Grandmasters, once he activated his Limit State, would almost certainly result in a crushing victory.

One must know that this was not a complex ancient forest, unsuitable for hiding.

"Lord, your consideration is truly thoughtful, but you probably overlooked that our Golden Wing Tower has a Chief Agent overseeing it, even if he is temporarily absent."

"I've considered that too, but they have three!" Chen Fan, fearing the other party wouldn't understand, even gestured with three fingers.

"Is there a possibility that our Chief Agent was assigned to oversee Mount Song City precisely because his strength is sufficient to suppress three Quenching Marrow Realm experts?"

Chen Fan was stunned upon hearing this. Is this Chief Agent's strength really that insane?!

Rose smiled and then said, "Even if Chief Agent is temporarily absent, if they declare war on us, our Golden Wing Tower still has an old Senior secretly overseeing it, who is also in the Quenching Marrow Realm. He's just a trump card, and generally, no one knows about him."

"Furthermore, even if we are defeated and collapse, it would bring no benefit to their Secret Sect, because the headquarters would only send more powerful Golden Wing Tower experts to assist, and they would only become more passive!"

At this moment, Chen Fan finally felt the power of the Golden Wing Tower. If you hit the small ones, the big ones come; if you hit the big ones, the stronger ones come. The main point is an endless supply!

He also understood why their current combat power could still have a deterrent effect!

After bidding farewell to Rose, Chen Fan left the Golden Wing Tower and returned to the Martial Arts Academy to rest!

The next day, after breakfast, Chen Fan continued to simulate. This world was truly too dangerous: the evolution of fierce beasts in the mountains, the giant eyes in the sky, the true meaning of the Secret Sect's existence, the entire Great Wei falling apart, the complete slaughter of True Qi Warriors, and so on!

Only absolute power could ensure that he would not die in the crises that followed one after another!

"System, activate simulation!"

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have reached 35 simulations. The System is upgrading!]

Chen Fan was stunned, then overjoyed: "This broken System, it can actually upgrade!"

The last upgrade seemed to have brought the protection function and stealth mode. He wondered what benefits this upgrade would bring!

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the System seemed to be stuck, still with no response. Chen Fan no longer waited idly and went about his business.

First, he went to the task management office to check the completion status of the tasks he had issued.

Three people had already provided information. Chen Fan personally went there, only to find that the people he was looking for were not right; their demeanor was off, so he could only return.

Afterward, he went to the lecture hall in the academy. Every day, a Great Grandmaster would speak there, sharing his insights on the Dao of Martial Arts. His Master, Wu San, would occasionally come to lecture as well.

It was already noon after the class. After lunch, Chen Fan finally heard the System complete its upgrade.

"It's finally upgraded?" Chen Fan was overjoyed and quickly rushed back to the Small Bamboo Forest, opening the System panel.

All the upgrade information records were displayed before Chen Fan:

[Ding! System upgrade successful.]

[This update includes: 1. Removal of urgent red tasks, significantly increasing the difficulty of random tasks.]

[2. For random task completion reward entries, the probability of purple entries appearing has been reduced from 100% to 70%, the probability of red entries appearing has been increased to 25%, and the probability of one-time golden entries appearing has been increased to 5% (the first simulation after the update will definitely yield a one-time golden entry.)]

[3. Added item death-binding System: Items touched within 1 minute before death will be death-bound to you and will definitely appear in the settlement options!]

[4. Enhanced ability to conceal heavenly secrets (You are being watched, be careful.)]

[Next System upgrade requires: 50 times]

When he saw the four update messages displayed before him, Chen Fan was deep in thought!

Overall, this upgrade brought more benefits than drawbacks!

The increased difficulty of random tasks would certainly raise the difficulty for him to obtain simulation counts!

However, in his current reality, there were no major immediate crises, so urgent red tasks were unlikely to appear.

This meant that the channel for obtaining red entries was almost directly cut off!

He knew that the effect of each red entry completely surpassed that of purple entries.

The addition of red entries in this update undoubtedly gave Chen Fan more choices.

Not to mention, above red, there was even gold!!!

This was a new entry that only appeared after this update!

Considering the gap between red and purple, how Heaven-Defying would gold be?

Although it was just a trial version and could not be redeemed, since golden entries existed, would permanent golden entries be far off?

Chen Fan had nothing but time!

"Haha, come on, System, perform the thirty-fifth simulation. Let me see what a golden entry is!"

[Ding! Detected only 20 remaining normal simulation counts, automatically synthesized into 2 advanced simulation counts.]

[Starting the 35th simulation! Remaining 1 advanced simulation count.]

[Random one-time golden entry: dongfeng express]
