318: Chapter 318 Hunting, Holy Radiance Crystal Energy

"Wait a second, cast it anywhere in the world? How do you determine where you're casting it to?" Chen Fan widened his eyes.

Mercury pondered for a moment and shook her head, "I can't determine it."

"Then how do you teleport?"

"I can't teleport; I can only teleport to places right in front of me, like behind you."

"..." Great, so it looks like a god-tier skill, but in reality, it's just for show?

Shaking his head, Chen Fan tossed a divine staff over.

"Take this."

Mercury's eyes flickered as she took the divine staff.

[Crew Member: Mercury has obtained the divine staff, skill enhanced.]

[Skill 3: Desolation, when there are no friendly units within a thousand meters of the enemy, Mercury's attacks will deal hundredfold damage.]

Holy crap?

Hundredfold damage?

Are you trying to compete with my Hundredfold Cash Back?

Chen Fan's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of something terrifying.

If Mercury is attacking units like the Meat Mountain Great Demon King or a Mutated Tentacle, there would definitely be no friendly units nearby.

Wouldn't that mean she would stably deal hundredfold damage?

This is practically the ultimate form of an assassin!

However, it's a pity that although the range is the entire world, it seems she cannot teleport very far.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan thought of a brilliant idea.

"Mercury, is it a lack of vision that prevents you from teleporting?"

Mercury nodded, "Yes, the Shadowy Phantoms cannot provide me with vision."

"Then if I can provide you with vision, does that mean you can fly to any place in the world?"

"Yes."

"One more question, if you upgrade to SSS-rank, what improvements will you get?"

Mercury frowned, saying somewhat uncertainly, "It's possible I'll be able to bring people along when teleporting to the Shadowy Phantoms."

"Hiss..." Chen Fan gasped.

Teleporting with people?

Subconsciously, Chen Fan's gaze swept toward a certain blood mist bottle in the space.

Inside that bottle was the Talent for Linking and Shapeshift Exchange.

If Mercury could bring others along when teleporting.

Does that mean as long as he could link a group of people together, they could follow Mercury and teleport together?

Thinking of this, a flash of light burst in Chen Fan's eyes.

"Mercury, how can I help you upgrade to SSS-rank?"

Mercury glanced at Chen Fan indifferently, "One hundred thousand holy radiance crystal energy."

"Let's set off!" Chen Fan didn't even respond, turning his head to order the departure.

One hundred thousand holy radiance crystal energy?

I only have 140 right now!

Oh wait, I gave her 10 points earlier, so I only have 130 left.

It's time to get some more holy radiance crystal energy.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and opened the surveillance footage of the two little octopuses again.

Suddenly, his expression jolted.

"Mercury, after you teleport out, can you teleport back?"

"Yes, within one minute, I can teleport at will."

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Mercury, you're an independent adult now; you should learn to earn energy yourself."

Mercury looked at Chen Fan quietly, as if looking at a moron.

"Ahem..."

"I can provide you with a way to earn energy, but you have to give me 70% of the energy you earn."

"30%."

"60%."

"50%."

"Deal."

After some back-and-forth negotiation, Mercury stood beside Chen Fan, waiting for his plan.

Chen Fan shared the surveillance footage with Mercury.

"The people here all carry energy on them. In a moment, I'll have the little guys lure a few people out, then you fly over, kill them, and fly back."

Looking at the surveillance footage, Mercury's pale cyan pupils gradually brightened.

"Okay!"

Chen Fan nodded and began to make arrangements.

When the meeting of the two little guys ended, they spontaneously invited a few parasites out to play.

After the group left the crowd's range, the two pretended to go to the bathroom, leaving the few parasites behind.

Mercury was quick and agile; she instantly descended and harvested them.

After causing a wave of screams, she projected the Ghost Blade.

Flashing back and forth on the path of shadows, she harvested the reinforcements as well.

Before the two little guys appeared, Mercury teleported back.

"Phew, it really works!" Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief and extended his right hand toward Mercury.

Mercury bit her lip and glared fiercely at Chen Fan, "I've never seen anyone like you, trying to squeeze every bit out of me."

[Obtained: holy radiance crystal energy x80.]

Chen Fan frowned, "So little?"

"What did you expect? Those people are too poor; each person only has ten or so points of energy."

Chen Fan curled his lip.

Under the buff of the Arcane Aura, the cooldown of the Shadowy Phantoms is only 18 minutes.

But if he can only get less than a hundred points of energy each time, this efficiency is indeed a bit low.

If only he could find something like the heart of the demon dragon that produces holy radiance crystal energy.

With a helpless smile, Chen Fan looked ahead.

Steel City had arrived.

"Forget it, let's go straight to headquarters and see if we can harvest another wave."

Chen Fan waved his hand toward the Steel Wall, and immediately, the city gate swung wide open.

General Wu and strategist Old Li came to welcome him at the same time.

Without too much small talk, after Chen Fan accepted the 350 missile experts, he headed toward the back mountain along the excavated inland river.

Old Li smiled ingratiatingly, "I have already followed Master's instructions, hollowed out the back mountain, and filled it with a sea area."

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, "Well done."

In fact, he didn't need Old Li to speak; he had already sensed the changes in the back mountain.

The originally protruding hillside had been hollowed out and filled with seawater.

On the surface of the sea, the golden holy gate was floating quietly.

Chen Fan calculated the distance, and once the holy gate entered the teleportation range, he nodded to Old Li and General Wu.

"Teleport."

In an instant, under their terrified gazes, the fleet disappeared from where it was.

The next moment, the fleet appeared beside the holy gate.

"Last time we passed through the holy gate, we appeared in a grassy field."

"This time, bringing the fleet over, we should at least land on a sea area, right?"

"Right, Great System?" Chen Fan looked up and smiled at the sky.

Beside him, Jiu Jiu also covered her mouth and giggled.

After repeating this a few times, Chen Fan's expression straightened.

"Get ready to set off."

"Mm-hmm." Jiu Jiu nodded.

The fortress gradually expanded, enveloping the fleet within it.

Chen Fan and Jiu Jiu still sat in the fortress's control room.

"Pass through!"

With a low shout, the fortress headed toward the holy gate.

[After opening the holy gate, the player will be teleported to the Dragon Headquarters, do you want to open it?]

"Open!" Chen Fan shouted in a low voice.

The fortress was slowly enveloped by golden light.

After a while.

The golden light flickered, and the fortress, along with the fleet inside, disappeared into the golden light.

A feeling of weightlessness emerged again.

"What exactly is going on?" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Every time he passed through the holy gate from a Daytime Instance and arrived at a Night Instance, this feeling of weightlessness would occur.

"Could it be that the Night Instance is underground?" Chen Fan's eyes widened, and he vaguely felt that he had guessed something.
