Chapter 233 - Massive Profit

Chapter 233: Chapter 213: Massive ProfitWhile the guild leader Mithril betrayed everyone, the guild still holds the good memories of Cliff and the other companions.

He will inherit the position of guild leader and keep the operation going.

Li Cheng blessed him, and didn’t reveal the news about the Side of Truth—knowing it would do Cliff no good.

Next up was Zhao Zijing, a sister from the Global Supernatural Alliance who kept her word and transferred 5000 Game Coins directly to Li Cheng.

"That much?"

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow and typed in the friends’ communication page: "I thought two or three thousand would be enough."

Zhao Zijing replied: "Out of this amount, two thousand is my personal compensation. The remaining three thousand is a reward from the GOC."

Long before the Electric Energy Retrospection mission began, the GOC representative Bai Qi mentioned that every newly discovered killing field’s Hidden Room is a treasure for all humanity.

Those pipes filled with chaotic time streams, leading to the legendary Retrospection Room, may not mean it could be found immediately, but at least it gives hope.

This is considered highly valuable important information.

"By the way."

Zhao Zijing paused for a moment, then typed: "Are you interested in joining the GOC? We have good treatment here, generous salary, massive benefits, plenty of holidays, and public funds to travel around the world, such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Antarctica for leisure and spending.

Moreover, our medical department has the world’s top gene therapies."

Huh?

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

When he just became a player, he didn’t have much money and bought a lot of gene suppressants through public channels.

With the capability of the GOC, as long as they were determined, they could trace these old transaction records through the name "Ant" and deduce that he had encountered some genetic mutation problems.

However, Li Cheng now possessed the Epic-Quality Liangyi Blade, which directly extracted the essence and discarded the dregs of the infection caused by the Insect Lord Demon, eliminating the need for gene therapy altogether.

’What’s this, belated help sent through the snow?’

Li Cheng couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He accepted the five thousand Game Coins and typed: "Sorry, I haven’t gotten over the emotional shadow left by my last guild, and I don’t want to hastily join another one. It’s better to maintain the relationship we have now."

Pfft.

Zhao Zijing at the other end of the communication interface almost sprayed out her energy drink. What the hell is the last guild?

The Global Supernatural Alliance is connected to all guilds, big and small, yet there’s no membership info for Ant, you’re clearly a lone wolf.

This last guild, you wouldn’t be referring to the self-destructive Mercury Alloy, would you?

And why does your response sound so much like gently rejecting a confession! How practiced are you?

Zhao Zijing’s eyes twitched repeatedly. She gave her superior standing opposite her a helpless look, sensibly not continuing to pester Ant, and politely ended the call.

"Ah, my damn charm."

Li Cheng flicked his bangs, turning his gaze towards the last two gains.

One was a new temporary skill absorbed from the Entropy Devouring Cloud in the Holographic Bone Corridor.

As an indigenous species of the killing field, the Entropy Devouring Cloud itself is quite troublesome, almost immune to physical and energy attacks.

Li Cheng also managed to take it down using the niche methods of the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method combined with the Experience Playing Method.

"With the addition of , the Holographic Bone Corridor has accumulated a total of eight temporary skills. Engraving two more will complete the breakthrough."

He rubbed his hands together and took out the Mechanician’s Book.

After a mission’s trial, his Mechanician Level had increased to Second Level, activating a new Trait: Item Enchantment.

Mechanicians can infuse ordinary items with magic, turning them into permanent magic tools (until the mechanician himself dies).

Mechanicians can enchant several items per day, each type of enchantment can exist on only one item at a time, and a single item cannot bear too many spells. The number of enchantments depends on the mechanician’s own level.

Currently available enchantment types include: enhanced defense, enhanced weapons, repeating weapon (allowing non-automatic firearms to fire in bursts), and return weapon, among others.

Here we go!

Li Cheng shuddered in excitement. A mechanician’s main characteristic is to treat magic as a form of science and use it to their advantage. With boundless imagination, they invent and create.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, carefully read the contents of the book, felt the flow of Spiritual Power within him, and attempted to channel it into the 170 Straight Blade.

Clang clang clang clang—

The rusty machete vibrated intensely, and within the vision of the Information Integration Glasses, a new description slowly emerged on the machete.

Li Cheng stood up, twirled the handle, and hurled the machete forcefully.

Thud!

The hefty blade directly embedded itself into the reinforced concrete wall used as a target. The next second, the machete actively detached from the wall and whooshed back into Li Cheng’s hand.

"Hehehe hahahaha."

Li Cheng, as if struck by some bizarre illness, tossed and caught the rusty machete repeatedly using all sorts of ridiculous postures (including but not limited to handstands, splits, backflips, breakdancing, the moonwalk, pole dancing), thoroughly enjoying himself.

Grey Rain, who had just gone down to the Automated Three-Dimensional Warehouse to get a drink, saw this and hesitantly asked, "Uh... since you can throw such a heavy knife, why don’t you just toss an explosive pack instead?"

"You don’t understand. Being cool is a lifelong pursuit."

Li Cheng flung his arms backward, not even looking as his hand precisely caught the knife handle flying towards him.

His current panel reads:

(New Human: +1) (Commoner’s Rage: +1)

(Barbecue Lover: -1)

(Barbecue Lover: +120) (Helicopter Destroyer: +30)
