Chapter 216: Chapter 151 Unknown Mutant

Temporary Control Bureau, inside the lounge.

The extraordinary persons were browsing the online trading marketplace, making their final preparations before setting off.

This online trading marketplace was built by the famous shopping platform [All You Need] in collaboration with major organizations in the Extraordinary World. It now covered the entire game world, where everything obtained could be bought and sold.

Thanks to the partnership with [Myriad Realms Express], items could be delivered through space teleportation technology within thirty seconds of placing an order, avoiding the long wait for shipping.

Huo Yan Luo and the others were also there, sipping tea while purchasing supplies.

Just as Zhou Yuan walked in, he saw space suddenly tear open, and a finely packaged delivery box fell through, landing perfectly in front of Huo Yan Luo.

Huo Yan Luo tore open the delivery box, revealing a gold-red potion bottle wrapped in protective foam, which glowed with a purple hue.

An epic-level potion!

Huo Yan Luo didn’t hesitate at all. She twisted off the cap and drank the potion in one gulp.

[War God Strengthening Elixir: Permanently increases combat strength threefold.]

Zhou Yuan gasped. How much?

Permanently increases combat strength threefold? That effect was too overpowered!

"Luo, where did you get that potion? Any more?" Zhou Yuan asked urgently.

"That’s the last one. Got lucky and snagged a deal," Huo Yan Luo replied with a smile, clenching her fist as she felt the noticeable increase in strength. She knew this boost would remain effective even outside the game world, marking another transformation in her power!

At her level, she had over a dozen different buffs that could enhance her combat strength. When stacked together, the result was undoubtedly terrifying.

Zhou Yuan quickly skimmed through the marketplace listings, hoping to snag a deal himself.

[Anti-Magic Stone]—Capable of absorbing and storing magical energy.

[Holy Silver Hand Crossbow]—Can generate silver arrows out of thin air, with anti-magic properties.

[Dissolution Gun]—Fires a pink beam that dissolves the target into goo.

[Bottled Lightning]—Contains lightning in a glass bottle, which can be thrown like a grenade for an area attack.

[Flash Spell Wand]—Capable of casting flash spell to cause temporary blindness.

Zhou Yuan searched quickly, but after a dozen minutes, found nothing good. Getting a deal was really all about luck.

"The next dungeon is the [Magic Academy], maybe I could buy some equipment made from Anti-Magic Stones..."

As he thought this, Zhou Yuan suddenly saw an item that caught his eye with its effect. He quickly made the purchase, using some loot from his bag as payment.

A few seconds later, space tore open, and a large package fell through.

Zhou Yuan tore open the delivery box, revealing a metal-crafted half-mannequin.

The mannequin was a cold, iron-gray color all over, its facial features were blurred, with no hair and no decorations on its body, resembling a naked store mannequin. However, the creator clearly had an eye for aesthetics, giving it well-defined pectoral muscles and an eight-pack, with obvious lat muscles.

The circular base was about 50 cm in diameter, connected to the half-mannequin by a metal support as thick as a bowl. There was some writing engraved on the base.

[Let mages eat shit!]

It was clear the creator held a grudge against mages.

Zhou Yuan’s gaze then shifted to detailed information about the item.

[Name: Anti-Magic Dummy]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Special Effect: Spell Counter. The dummy senses spells being cast within a 50-meter range and automatically counters them.]

[Note: "You damn mages, wait for me!" This was the harsh declaration made by Dwarf Forging Master Kentro after being expelled from the Magic Academy. After three years of seclusion, he created this dummy, but before he could seek revenge on the Magic Academy, he was killed by a group of brutish minotaurs because minotaurs can’t use magic.]

Spell Counter!

This skill would be a total game-changer in the Magic Academy. If mages couldn’t cast spells, what were they but punching bags?

After the preparation phase ended, Zhou Yuan and his team set off again.

The Night City dungeon actually didn’t involve killing many monsters. After all, the ultimate boss, Super AI Eve, now called Yi, had made a deal with the Control Bureau, making her one of their own. So there was no need for the typical dungeon-clearing process.

Fortunately, the cultists and cyber-psychopaths they encountered afterward provided a good amount of experience, making the overall outcome acceptable.

The group sat on Bai Lang’s body. As they flew out of Night City, Zhou Yuan heard the system notification in his ear.

[Quest "Night City Legend" completed]

[Quest Rating: B (Experience Points and Star Coins rewards increased by 110%)]

[Commentary: Although you cleared the dungeon, unfortunately, you didn’t become the Night City legend. However, your live-stream gained a lot of attention, and now people call you "Loner Bro," "Big Truck Bro." It seems you always end up with weird nicknames, doesn’t it, "Wild Stripper"?]

Lastly—do cyber-maidens dream of electric sheep?]

[Quest Reward 1: Experience Points *2200]

[Quest Reward 2: Star Coins *7700]

[Quest Reward 3: Rare Quality Skill Scroll *1]

[LV30→LV31!]

[Experience Points: 1450/1550]

[Assignable Attribute Points: 1]

[Star Coins: 44700]

Zhou Yuan reluctantly added his attribute point to perception.

Damn it, his reputation took another hit.

Since entering the Extraordinary World, whether it was his main account or alt account, his reputation seemed to be on a constant downward spiral.
