100: The bespectacled man's miserable state

"Rest in place, report the intelligence to the gang leader, and await further orders!"

After counting the losses, Scarface Man, the leader of the Pioneering Team, issued the order.

Such significant losses right after entering the Secret Realm cast a shadow over him.

Fortunately, they had discovered traces of the treants, which might make up for their failure.

The rear command, upon receiving the intelligence, would likely act immediately, consult data, and research methods to deal with the treants.

He ordered his subordinates to stay put and await news from the rear... Starfall City, Steel Body Battle Group's base.

Lin Xingyu and his group walked out, carrying their helmets.

"I haven't even tried virtual reality games yet!"

Wang Ledian fiddled with the helmet in his hand, his face full of excitement.

When they first joined Green Bud, each of them received a "gaming helmet."

By wearing it, they could connect via neural link and enter the trial tower.

The trial tower's interior was a virtual world, very helpful for improving combat abilities.

As a Human Race treasure, the trial tower was Green Bud's core for cultivating Geniuses.

It had two modes: combat mode and tower-climbing mode.

Combat mode allowed them to fight against Immortal Masters, accumulating practical experience.

Tower-climbing mode required them to pass through layers of checkpoints.

Both modes could earn points.

Besides the trial tower, Green Bud also issued various missions.

Completing missions would also earn corresponding points.

Points could be exchanged for various resources within Green Bud.

These were mostly things that could directly improve strength, such as equipment, Cultivation Techniques, Heaven And Earth Treasure... Points could also be used to hire powerful individuals for one-on-one guidance.

If points were sufficient, one could even exchange for massive Heaven And Earth Treasure to raise their Rank to nine.

Of course, the points required for this would be an astronomical number.

Besides the point System, they also gained access to the "Green Bud database."

The "Green Bud database" stored a large amount of combat-related information, such as combat skills, and the application of combat techniques and tactics... This also required paying points to view.

"I want to play combat mode! I want to wreak havoc in there!"

Wang Chiyao was full of confidence in her own strength.

"This cultivation method is indeed good!"

Lin Xingyu was also quite satisfied.

Green Bud was a loose organization that did not impose too many restrictions on its members.

Members came from all over Blue Star, with diverse professions, including students, adventurers, merchants, and warriors... Many Geniuses from major forces were among them.

Green Bud had only one requirement: after reaching Rank five, members must enter the Otherworld Battlefield to fight for the Human Race.

This was naturally not a problem for Lin Xingyu; even without this requirement, he intended to enter the Otherworld Battlefield.

The corpses of alien races were also corpses, and he would not disdain them... "Let's go, to exchange for combat techniques!"

The group mounted their phantom motorcycles and sped towards Starfall Academy.

They had accumulated quite a few points these past few days, which should allow them to exchange for some decent combat techniques.

Although Green Bud also offered combat techniques for exchange, they didn't have enough points yet, so they could only wait.

Green Bud's database and the academy's library were still different.

Green Bud focused more on battle power enhancement.

The library, on the other hand, was all-encompassing, similar to an encyclopedia.

The previous information about the Dragon Clan was found in the library.

The group sped along, and when they reached a corner, Wang Ledian, who was in front, suddenly stopped.

"Old Dian, what's wrong?"

Lin Xingyu and the others also stopped, looking at him in confusion.

"Look! Isn't that Glasses Man?"

Wang Ledian pointed at a figure rummaging through a trash can ahead, his mouth wide open.

"How did this guy end up like this?"

Lin Xingyu also found it amusing.

Just a few days ago, this "Tutu God of War" was dominating the spirit net, even posting specifically to mock him.

It had only been a few days, and he had fallen to this state?

Logically, with the ability of his spirit seed, he shouldn't be doing so poorly.

Could it be... he had some specialfetish?

He wasn't looking for some "original flavor" items, was he?

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Let's go, hurry up and exchange for combat techniques, we still have to go to the Secret Realm!"

Lin Xingyu shook off the absurd thoughts in his mind, urging everyone to continue forward... Glasses Man watched Lin Xingyu and his group zoom past, a mix of emotions in his heart.

He didn't know what had happened to him lately; he had been incredibly unlucky.

No matter what job he did, he would mess it up, causing huge losses to his boss every time.

After trying several jobs, he was not only penniless but also deeply in debt.

He felt as if the entire world had abandoned him!

This "potted plant" he had mocked was now thriving, even having the leisure to ride a motorcycle and cruise the streets.

Thinking of this, he felt even more irritable.

Throwing away the scrap he held, he opened his wristband, wanting to browse Douling Short Video to relieve his frustration.

After entering Douling Short Video, the title of a live stream caught his attention.

【Rumors End Here, Repentance Begins in the Heart!】

This title was quite artistic; what was this about?

Curious, Glasses Man clicked into the live stream.

He saw Wang Ledian appear on screen, crying with snot and tears, recounting how he had used Photoshop to fake and smear the World Purifying Society.

The live stream's bullet comments were already flooding the screen.

【I knew it was fake early on, how could the World Purifying Society be so stupid?】

【Indeed, the live stream footage that day was a bit blurry, I was already suspicious!】

【Damn it, Brother Wrench will stop at nothing to make money!】

...The live stream was almost entirely filled with voices condemning Wang Ledian.

Occasionally, a few questioning voices appeared but were quickly drowned out.

"What's going on here?"

If he hadn't seen Wang Ledian with his own eyes just now, he would have almost believed it!

Glasses Man carefully checked the accounts making these statements and found that they were all burner accounts.

In other words, they were all paid trolls!

Although he knew it was fake, seeing Wang Ledian crying profusely still inexplicably made Glasses Man feel a surge of satisfaction.

He gave all the money he earned from collecting scrap today as a reward... Starfall Academy.

Lin Xingyu and his group headed straight for the library when they were suddenly stopped by a figure on the way.

It was Chu Shanhe.

"Uh, hello, Teacher Chu! We have an urgent matter, we'll be going now!"

Seeing Chu Shanhe, Lin Xingyu shivered and was about to turn and run.

This guy must be here for the Rejuvenation Brew!

He must have done something strange and was here to settle accounts with him!

Sure enough, Chu Shanhe moved, blocking his path.

"Kid Lin, do you still have that wine from last time?"

Chu Shanhe was a bit speechless; why was this kid running?

Was it just for some wine? Was it really that big a deal?

He had always suspected that Lin Xingyu's rapid Rank increase was related to that wine.

So he wanted more to aid his own Cultivation.
