Although the puppy-like young dragon looked pitiable and adorable, Zheng Zha steeled his heart and drew a small tube of its blood. Immediately, the young dragon burst into loud cries, looking so pitiful, just like a child. This appearance instantly moved the three girls to pity, and they crowded around it, offering endless comfort.

The grown men, however, lacked such sentiment. They gathered to examine the giant dragon blood. Though extracted from a juvenile dragon, it was presumed to possess the same efficacy. Since they were in the "Main God" space, any issues could be instantly repaired, so after a brief discussion, they took the three people who hadn't yet used the dragon blood to the plaza.

The first person injected with the dragon blood was Zero Point. The man spoke little, simply exposing his arm. The sight was reminiscent of Guan Yu undergoing bone scraping to remove poison, as Zheng Zha swiftly injected a small tube of dragon blood into his arm. Seconds later, Zero Point nodded silently, "Correct, it has an effect. The latter four physical attributes each increased by one hundred points. So, now for the full-body repair?" Zheng Zha and the other two repeatedly affirmed. Zero Point then silently walked beneath the "Main God" to select the full-body repair option. Logically, for someone completely unharmed like him selecting a full-body repair, the "Main God" would merely shine its light beam downward briefly before retracting it.

But this time, a brilliant light pillar descended, not only enveloping Zero Point but also slowly lifting him and the beam into the air.

"Phew, the full-body repair works too."

"This should be fine then. Next up is Zhan Lan..." Zheng Zha let out a deep breath watching Zero Point stand unharmed, then smiled towards Zhan Lan.

The small woman immediately closed her eyes.

Trembling, she reached her hand toward Zheng Zha: "Gently... I'm afraid of needles."

The girl’s demeanor was truly both pitiable and cute, yet Zheng Zha’s entire body tensed up. This was because he and Zhan Lan were not alone in the plaza; besides the large group of bachelors staring blankly, a scorching gaze was fixed on his back. Lolita also followed close by, still clutching the young dragon.

Therefore, Zheng Zha dared not show the slightest irregularity. He swiftly jabbed a needle into Zhan Lan's arm and, without thinking, pulled the syringe back. He seemed to be meticulously careful, presenting the image of a true gentleman who wouldn't dare even touch a beautiful woman's hand.

When Zhan Lan opened her eyes.

She gave Zheng Zha a gaze that was slightly unreadable, then, just like Zero Point, she stood under the "Main God" and chose the full-body repair.

Seeing that both Zero Point and Zhan Lan had received the dragon blood injection, Luo Gandao also excitedly presented his arm, practically shouting, Inject me, inject me! But unfortunately, Zheng Zha crushed his enthusiasm with a single sentence.

"You were resurrected as a newcomer; you don't even have any reward points. If we use the dragon blood on you, you won't have enough points for the full-body repair. If you want to die, just slit your throat quickly..." "However... the full-body repair doesn't cost too many reward points, so we’ll wait until Zhan Lan finishes her repair before injecting you with this dragon blood. Let her pay the reward points for you then."

And so, after Luo Gandao was also injected with the dragon blood and repaired, everyone returned to Zheng Zha's basement. Along the way, Zheng Zha explained the situation of the Central Continent Team: how they fought, coordinated, the names and strengths of the team members, Zhan Lan's special skills, the companions the team needed to resurrect, and the next horror film where they would fight other teams. This account was quite lengthy; even as they walked into the basement, Zheng Zha continued speaking for a good while before vaguely finishing these matters.

Zheng Zha took the bear-shaped robot out of his dimensional bag and said, "Luo Gandao, you are the weakest among us, but you have a talent for piloting machinery—that's why we resurrected you early. Don't waste this robot obtained through a C-grade sub-quest exchange. First, you must master all the basic movements, like jumping, running, and rolling. You must be completely proficient in these conventional movements within three days. After that, you must proceed to live-fire practice and modifications of the robot's familiar actions..." Luo Gandao, however, adopted a look on the verge of tears. He threw his arms around Zheng Zha’s thigh: "Captain, Big Brother, please spare me! Fighting while riding this kind of robot, I could make the enemy laugh themselves to death just by looking at it! Please let me off!" Zheng Zha sighed and shook his head. He was even more dramatic, directly pulling out a multi-barrel machine gun from his dimensional bag and aiming it at Luo Gandao's head, stating calmly: "...Of course, you can also choose not to pilot it. Don't worry, I absolutely won't say anything more."

Naturally, he wouldn't say anything more when such a thick multi-barrel machine gun was pressed against his head.

Luo Gandao was very direct and submissively ran toward the bear-shaped robot's back, then entered the robot through the opening. This time, his boot-up was remarkably fast; ten seconds later, the bear-shaped robot was emitting sounds of "Muni, Muni."

Zheng Zha pondered, then suddenly retrieved an electric baton from an adjacent metal cabinet. He tossed this baton to Ba Wang: "Ba Wang, make him run five laps around the field first. Don't worry, he at least has twice the physical fitness of an ordinary person, and he's piloting a robot to run; it should be fine!" Ba Wang nodded. Having come from a military background, he naturally had his own methods for training new recruits. He took the electric baton and fiercely chased after the bear-shaped robot. If the robot slowed down even slightly, he would strike hard. Although the blow to the robot wouldn't cause the pilot pain, the intense electrical shock that followed made the bear-shaped robot let out a miserable howl: "Muni!" Thus, it ran even faster... Everyone shook their heads speechlessly, then all looked at Zheng Zha. The man wasn't paying much attention to the cartoon bear; instead, he retrieved Hu Po: "Alright, stop looking at that cartoon bear... Cough, let's first test the power of this Hu Po. After all, it's a B-grade legendary magic weapon; its power shouldn't be any less than a tubular pulse shooter, right? Heh heh. After testing this weapon, Wang Xia, I'll teach you the Hunyuan Yi Qi Gong."

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn. It was understandable; after all, Hu Po, with its extremely cool long saber design, was a legendary magic weapon obtainable through a B-grade sub-quest exchange.

This was likely the first B-grade legendary magic weapon the group had managed to exchange for, so everyone naturally had boundless expectations for its power.

So, temporarily setting aside the cartoon bear constantly fleeing around the field, the group proceeded to the weapon testing area, where several alloy steel walls of varying thickness stood. The thickest steel wall was over ten meters thick, while the thinnest was only about half a meter.

This was where the group experimented with new weapons. Although the hardness of these alloy steel walls could not compare to the armor plating of high-tech products, they were sufficient for testing high-tech weaponry.

Zheng Zha held Hu Po and silently stood before a five-meter-thick steel wall. His mind was utterly calm. In his head, he constantly recalled the destitution when he first entered this horror film, the hardships encountered step by step, the near-death escapes, the successive deaths and disappearances of his comrades, the shock when Zhang Jie handed him the authority of the Guide, and then the anger, sorrow, and despair upon encountering the Demon Reincarnation Squad... Zheng Zha stood there gripping Hu Po, his entire being unknowingly lost in thought. Although he quickly realized his emotions were somewhat off, it was likely due to Hu Po's influence on emotions, which aligned perfectly with the "Main God's" description of the weapon. Thus, he could only activate the Hunyuan Yi Qi Gong. As his internal energy circulated through his body, this heavy, melancholy mood gradually recovered. He then slowly channeled his internal energy through his arm into the Hu Po saber. Immediately, a blood-red blade aura burst forth from the saber. As Zheng Zha continuously channeled internal energy into Hu Po, the blade aura grew darker red and sharper, and its length continuously extended from the original half-meter aura until the entire blade plus the aura reached nearly one meter in length, at which point Zheng Zha stopped, having inputted over seventy percent of his internal energy.

Zheng Zha was secretly disappointed. The Hu Po saber itself was only about 1.7 meters long, and with the blade aura, it was just over two meters in total length. Cutting with it meant it could only sever things slightly over two meters long. In comparison, no matter how powerful the blade aura or Hu Po itself was, it was certainly inferior to a Dual D-grade high-energy laser sword that could extend over four meters. Although the laser sword was a high-tech weapon and not a legendary magic weapon, in terms of attack range, this B-grade legendary magic weapon, Hu Po, was actually inferior to that high-energy laser sword...

"Alas, and this is only using seventy percent of my internal energy..." Zheng Zha sighed and lightly swung Hu Po toward the wall. He hadn't held much hope, but the moment he swung Hu Po, a massive force transmitted back from it. Zheng Zha instinctively channeled his internal energy to grip the bone-like hilt tightly. Immediately afterward, an extremely sharp gust of wind rushed over, so fierce that Zheng Zha thought a blade was swinging at him, causing him to instinctively blink. Cold sweat broke out on his back. In the instant he blinked, the Hu Po blade aura surged momentarily. When Zheng Zha snapped back to reality, the Hu Po saber had already swept past. The five-meter-thick alloy steel wall before him seemed utterly undamaged; at the spot where Hu Po had passed, there wasn't even the slightest scratch.

Zheng Zha and the other men in the Southern Dipper Squad looked on in bewilderment, exchanging glances. Then, a thought struck Zheng Zha, and he gently reached out to touch the thick steel wall. The upper half of the five-meter-thick steel wall immediately slid to the ground with a resounding crash. Zheng Zha felt as if the ground itself had shuddered. The upper section of the steel wall had completely fallen away, and the cut surface was smooth as glass. If not for seeing it with his own eyes, no one would believe that the mirror-smooth cut was made by a long saber.

As Zheng Zha stood there in stunned silence, suddenly a steel wall several meters away, eight meters thick, also emitted a soft hissing sound, then fractured cleanly into two segments and slid to the ground, the edges smooth as glass... (To be continued) Jump to
