"BEEP. The system will provide one hint. Upon completing the Excellent-difficulty mission, the Host will receive a Beginner-Level Treasure Chest, guaranteed. Additionally, there is a 30% chance of being awarded a Middle-Level Treasure Chest."
Mission Hint:
1. The Host possesses extrely powerful potential. You now need to find a ’dium.’ As long as you find the ’dium,’ you will beco the Super-Duper Wrecking King.
(That’s it!)
"That’s it? What do you an, that’s it...? I... I’ll super-duper you, you moron! What dium?! What the hell is a dium?! Tell what it is, dammit!" Gao Neng was genuinely dumbfounded this ti.
’A freaking Super-Duper Wrecking King? Do you have any social conscience at all? Even a little? Don’t you know that destroying property is against the law?!’
He was familiar with the system’s usual bullshit.
But for it to be this full of shit...
The stench must carry for miles downwind.
’What the hell kind of hint is this? You might as well just tell , "Find a Divine Artifact and you can slaughter everyone." But where the hell am I supposed to find a Divine Artifact?!’
"BEEP. Because the Host chose Excellent difficulty, the system can only provide one hint. Bye-bye!"
"..." Gao Neng was speechless. He didn’t want to say a thing; he just wanted to get up and fight. But in an instant, the cruel reality of his situation hit him.
The first ten people who rushed over...
They weren’t ordinary people; they were all Energy Warriors.
That’s right. Ten Energy Warriors, every last one of them.
Moreover, after seeing the hook-nosed man’s miserable state, these people didn’t waste words. They had no intention of fighting one-on-one, nor did they have the classic TV villain decency to monologue for half an hour before attacking. They went straight for their deadliest moves.
In an instant, all Gao Neng could see was a sky-blotting wave of iron, copper, and aluminum flying at him.
What a lovely picture.
’Can I even last a second if I charge in now?’ Gao Neng rolled over and scrambled up from the ground. Playing dead was no longer an option. He wasn’t that kind of person.
After all, with so many iron spears and pikes, copper sabers and aluminum swords flying around...
It’d be a sha to get accidentally injured, right?
’I’m not afraid to charge in, I just haven’t found the dium yet. The mont I find it, I’ll be the legendary Super-Duper Wrecking King!’ Gao Neng was absolutely certain of this.
So, for now, he had to lay low and stay alive.
As long as you’re alive, anything is possible!
If you’re dead, you’ve got jack squat.
Having figured this out, Gao Neng decisively hid behind Shen Ning’Er. ’Didn’t Shen Ning’Er just say she couldn’t trust him to watch her back? Well, he was determined to be the man who stood right behind her.’
This, too, was a kind of masculine perseverance.
"Huh? Done playing dead? To be honest, your performance just now? Giving you a one out of ten would be generous," Shen Ning’Er said. She seed to have forgotten her earlier comnt, allowing Gao Neng to stay behind her. As she spoke, she decisively crushed the high-dinsional capsule in her hand.
"ROAR!"
The pure gold Furious Giant Ape appeared once again.
It shone with a brilliant golden light.
Its fur stood on end.
However, because the underground factory’s ceiling wasn’t high enough, this ti the Furious Giant Ape was only a little over three ters tall. Even so, it still stood like a tower before Shen Ning’Er and Gao Neng.
"ROAR ROAR!" The Furious Giant Ape lived up to its na. Its massive fists swung out, smashing the incoming scrap tal to pieces in a single blow. Its sheer power was breathtaking.
At the sa ti, Shen Ning’Er was once again clad in a golden, feathered cloak. Layer upon layer of feathers covered her body and shrouded her face.
One against ten!
Shen Ning’Er was perfectly calm, even enough to chat with Gao Neng, who was still standing behind her.
"Are you planning to hide behind the whole ti?"
"I can’t hide forever, but... uh... could you maybe give a suit of golden armor too?" ’Since we’re allies,’ Gao Neng thought, ’it’s only right that we help each other out.’
"You want to charge in and fight?" Shen Ning’Er asked without turning around.
"When it’s ti to act, I’ll act. After all, I’m a man with backbone. Besides, I’m pretty good with my shovel, as you just saw," Gao Neng nodded, a righteous expression on his face.
"Mm, I can give you one, but on one condition: you have to tell how you knew there was a magnetic pile here," Shen Ning’Er continued.
"Magnetic pile?" ’I thought for sure she’d ask about the hotel,’ Gao Neng thought. ’I didn’t expect her to bring up the magnetic pile first.’
Wait!
’Sothing’s not right.’
’How does Shen Ning’Er know about the magnetic pile?’
’I haven’t said a word about any magnetic pile this whole ti. And logically speaking, Shen Ning’Er should have been unconscious inside that golden sphere...’
’Holy crap!’
"When you were in the golden sphere... don’t tell you were... awake?" Gao Neng felt a chill run straight through him. ’If Shen Ning’Er was really conscious then, doesn’t that an she knows everything I did?’
"Hmph, never mind that. Just answer my question." A faint blush inexplicably appeared on Shen Ning’er’s face, but it vanished in an instant.
"Alright, well, what if I said... that day, after I checked out of the hotel, I accidentally picked up a storage device at the entrance. I thought it was full of study materials, but when I got ho and looked, I found it had so diagrams, and on the diagrams was a label for the magnetic pile. I wonder if you’d believe ?"
"The storage device... it was from Tang De’s son, right?"
"I guess so? I just happened to be downstairs at that mont, and the storage device just happened to fall on my head. What a coincidence, huh?" Gao Neng said, speaking frankly.
"Mm, I understand." Shen Ning’Er nodded. Then, with a flick of her finger, a ball of golden liquid energy flew toward Gao Neng.
Gao Neng instinctively wanted to dodge.
But after a mont’s thought, he stood his ground.
The golden liquid quickly enveloped his body, then transford into a suit of resplendent golden armor. It was a familiar feeling, identical to the armor Shen Ning’Er had used to save him.
Gao Neng clenched his fist and imdiately felt... that his strength was exactly the sa.
"You are not an Energy Warrior yet, so you can’t control energy. This armor can only serve a protective function; it cannot increase your strength." After saying this, Shen Ning’Er fell silent and focused on the fight.
The ten opposing Energy Warriors had already charged in, flanking them from both sides. They dodged the Furious Giant Ape and launched a direct assault on Shen Ning’Er and Gao Neng.
"Ah San, Qi Niao, Li Cha, you three hold back the golden ape. Five Coppers, you deal with the kid in the back. The rest of you, with , take care of this broad!"
"Broad? Boss, this woman can manifest golden energy. She seems to be that Alliance Major. It’s a miracle she wasn’t killed in the blast and managed to get here!"
"What kind of bullshit is that? Of course I know!"
"Boss, can we leave her alive?"
"Alive?! If you can even survive an encounter with this broad, then you can co back and talk to !" As the bald man spoke, he lunged forward, appearing before Shen Ning’Er in a flash.
He threw a punch.
Aid straight for Shen Ning’Er’s face.
Shen Ning’Er wasted no words, eting his fist with her own.
"BOOM!"
The two fists collided.
Gao Neng faintly saw a sneer form on the bald man’s lips. Simultaneously, a layer of silvery-white tal materialized over his fist.
’Magnesium?’
"BZZZT!"
A flash of electricity sparked, and a piercing sound rang out.
’No, it’s lithium!’ The instant Gao Neng saw the spark, a line of text flashed through his mind: *tallic lithium. Can store an electrical charge.*
"Let’s see if that gold body of yours can handle a little electricity!" As the light flared, the sneer on the bald man’s lips twisted into a cruel grin.
