The post-scenario countdown hadn't finished, but Feng Bujue chose to return to the login space. After the three minutes of [Devil's Descent] ended, he would enter a state of 1% Survival Value, and 0 Stamina and 0 Spirit Energy. Even if he stayed, he couldn't do anything in those less than 180 seconds.

Judging from the settlement screen, the rewards from this Killing Game weren't particularly generous. Probably because he only completed the main quest, so the experience was low.

Regarding those two side quests... the first one, [Join the Classic Faction and End the War], was obviously a no-go. When Musashi Koganei created the Fugu Fighters, Feng Bujue had rethought the problem. His hypothesis was: if you wanted to complete the side quest, you shouldn't meet the "Prophet" NPC. Even if you did, don't say anything unnecessary. That way... the plot wouldn't unfold to the level involving the Four Pillar Gods, and the player's knowledge would remain at the basic setting of "Toy Story".

Then, as long as you followed the other side quest [Assist Jazz and Nightbeat in Reconnoitering 'Lego House'], step by step, the plot would unfold, eventually leading to victory in the war. Of course, this "victory" might just be a play created by the system, and the Prophet would restore everything once the player left.

But it was pointless to talk about it now, because he didn't go back to Optimus Prime to report, so the reconnaissance mission wasn't considered complete.

"Well... anyway, this experience, plus 40%, is enough for me to reach level thirty," Feng Bujue said, casually clicking the "Accept" option on the screen, responding to Xiao Tan's conference room invitation.

He wasn't in a hurry to claim his rewards from the storage room. Since he had already decided to take the experience points, he could go later. So, he directly pressed the conference room button on the elevator control panel and walked out.

"Whoa... what's going on... are they going to sacrifice him to the heavens?" The moment Jue Ge entered, he saw Xiao Tan sitting at the conference table with a face full of snack crumbs, looking glum.

"This is already good. If this space allowed for physical violence, you'd be seeing a WWE-level spectacle right now," Xiao Tan muttered dejectedly.

"You seem a little dissatisfied?" Bei Ling interjected from the side.

"No!" Xiao Tan quickly said, "Absolutely not!"

Feng Bujue took a few steps forward and whispered to Si Yu, "What's going on with those two..."

"Don't know," Si Yu replied. "Better not ask."

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue turned his head and sat down nonchalantly. "I'll be level thirty after claiming a reward. Should we consider trying a team Nightmare difficulty..."

"Hey! You just changed the topic! Aren't you going to ask about my predicament?" Xiao Tan shouted.

"What's there to ask?" Feng Bujue said weakly. "It's nothing more than saying something you shouldn't have, or doing something you shouldn't have..."

"Guild Leader is wise," Bei Ling chimed in at the right time, while glaring at Xiao Tan.

"As a man, kneeling down and apologizing should get you the woman's forgiveness," Feng Bujue continued.

"Don't apply your behavior patterns to everyone!" Xiao Tan retorted.

Feng Bujue squinted his dead fish eyes and slowly turned to Bei Ling. "You too... look how pitiful this kid is, he's always being bullied by you. If there's no matter of principle, just forgive him. From my observations of you two, your fates align, your astrological signs match, and your roles as attacker and receiver are clearly defined. Given time, you might even end up together..."

*Thwack*

A bag of potato chips flew from Bei Ling's hand and landed on Feng Bujue's face.

"I told you not to get involved," Si Yu said coldly. "But you, you're just shifting the blame."

"Ah~ I've been specializing in taunting for decades, every word hits the mark, never missed," Feng Bujue said nonchalantly, grabbing the potato chips from his face and putting them in his mouth.

"Bragging again..." Si Yu shook her head and chuckled.

"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly, proving his point with action. In less than a second, he had concocted a line and said to Si Yu, "By the way, as a die-hard fan, don't you want to have a child for me or something?"

*Thwack*

Another bag of potato chips flew from Si Yu's hand and also landed on Feng Bujue's face.

...

In the conference room, Feng Bujue exchanged information with his teammates about the practice battles, and then chatted about other things. This time, even the settings for Soul Power were revealed.

Unknowingly, it was late at night. The group agreed to meet again in the sleep mode server at dawn, and then logged off to wash up and go to bed.

At 0:45 AM on April 24th, Feng Bujue logged into the game again. This time, he logged in a dozen minutes early, wanting to take care of some trivial matters so that his teammates wouldn't have to wait for him again.

The first thing he naturally did was claim his rewards. There was no need to elaborate on the operations after entering the storage room. In short, after taking the current level's 40% experience and drawing two new puzzle cards, Feng Bujue's stats were as follows:

Title: [Dark Vanguard], Title Ability: [Devil's Descent]

Experience: 39800/3000000, Skill Points: 19450, Game Coins: 1765000.

Specializations: General C, Machinery D, Investigation D, Combat C, Shooting D, Medical E, Spiritual Arts C, Summoning E.

Inventory (11/15): Mario's Pipe Wrench, Flashlight, Eighteen Bronze Men's Folding Stool (No. 5), Desert Eagle-500 (10/20), Anti-Gravity Catapult, Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch, Vajra Bell, Proyān-Beena's Vacuum Cleaner, Survival Value Replenishment (Medium) *2, Endless Grenade Clip, WJq-308 Military Shovel (Indestructible).

Equipment: Jazz Dance, Spider Silk Gloves, Death Poker (Psionic Weapon), Echo Armor, Goblin Gas Mask, Artemis' Embrace, Implanted Alchemic Amplification Device.

Storage (6/10): Puzzle Card - Monkey, Puzzle Card - Sunglasses, Puzzle Card - Strawberry, Puzzle Card - Leather Jacket, Puzzle Card - Motorcycle, Puzzle Card - Shotgun.

Skill Bar (7/12): [Not-So-Careless Repair], [Spirit Sense Gathering Art], [Ice Alchemist's Persistence], [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist], [Summoning Art - Musashi Koganei], [Moon Step], [Storm Leg].

It could be seen that, starting from level thirty, the experience cap had increased by another zero, becoming three million. In a sense, it was good news for Feng Bujue... because of his advantage of not feeling fear, the experience rewards he could get per level had become very astonishing.

Another thing worth mentioning was the improvement of his Summoning specialization. Because he repeatedly used "Take this!" in the Cloak Scramble and performed a dozen random summons, his proficiency in this specialization was already very high. Therefore, after summoning Musashi Koganei twice, it just so happened to level up.

Currently, the completion of Feng Bujue's "Character Quest" [Use Summoning skills and successfully summon a summoned creature fifty times] had reached 17/50. It seemed that it would take at least another ten days to half a month to complete this step.

"Eh? These few cards..." After claiming his rewards, Feng Bujue was putting the puzzle cards into the warehouse when he suddenly noticed something.

He casually took out all the puzzle cards and held them in his hand, opened the virtual menu in front of him, and selected the "Combine" option.

A system prompt immediately sounded: [A possible combination sequence has been detected]

The window in front of him displayed - Deck Name: [T-800] (Terminator), Consumes [Puzzle Card: Sunglasses], [Puzzle Card: Leather Jacket], [Puzzle Card: Motorcycle], [Puzzle Card: Shotgun] to form a combination.

"A deck that requires four cards to form..." Feng Bujue muttered, "I smell a Perfect-grade equipment..."

[You have selected the deck combination to generate: T-800, please confirm this operation.]

As the four cards transformed into white light and recombined, a tarot-sized card floated into Feng Bujue's hand. The card depicted a tough guy wearing sunglasses, riding a motorcycle, wearing a leather jacket, and holding a firearm. Moreover, it was in ink wash painting style, full of a sense of incongruity...

The system prompted again: [The deck has been generated, do you want to exchange it for equipment?]

After selecting "Yes," a pillar of white light appeared on the other side of the storage room, quickly transforming into a glass pillar for receiving rewards.

When Feng Bujue walked closer, the equipment inside had already formed. The thing looked like a strange machine, about the size of an accordion. The structure was very complex, with an entrance for a conveyor belt on one side, but no exit on the other. There was only a circular convex lens. Next to the machine was only a lever, without any other adjustable components.

He already felt a faint sense of unease and quickly took out the item to examine it...

[Name: Zero-Type Magic Grinder]

[Type: Tool]

[Quality: Trash]

[Function: Make Trash]

[Effect: Has a certain chance to create Legendary items (requires at least three pieces of equipment of at least Excellent quality to activate)]
