"The number of items was severely reduced, and all the attribute bonuses from items and titles were converted into essence."

At the table, Jiang He carefully fed the fire-attribute magic staff to the Long-Lasting Dragon Spear, bringing its total weight to four hundred jin (a unit of weight). It was just one jin away from becoming a perfect-grade item, and it also gained a new attribute—Fire Control: Increases fire damage by 40%.

This upgrade was particularly dramatic, making it difficult for him to adapt in a short period of time. Most of his foundation was transformed into several perfect-level skills, among which the passive skill "Domineering Blood Body" was at an unprecedentedly high level.

[Cursed Blood Ring]

[Category: Jewelry]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect ①: Drip the target's blood to activate the curse, reducing overall defense by 30%, marking the location of the attack and expanding the screen]

[Effect 2: The ring contains a villa-sized space, suitable for the survival and reproduction of blood flies]

[Note: Waste utilization]

"I don't recommend you feed this ring to Silver Lance. As a hunter, you need tracking abilities."

Across the table, Lilith stopped reading and closed her eyes to rest. Given her current pitiful state, indulging in gluttony naturally consumed a lot of energy.

Jiang He put on the bright red ring, turned his head to look at the window. When he activated the Perfect-level All-Seeing Eye, the scenery within a radius of three thousand meters, including blind spots and obstacles, was all reflected in his mind. In the reflection on the window, his eyes turned pure white, and there was a blood moon like a mark between his brows.

"It looks a bit like cataracts."

"Don't change the subject," Lilith said. "I've put in a lot of effort. You now have a chance of winning a life-or-death battle against the elite beings of the Silver Age. Moreover, the attribute bonuses from the items and titles have been converted into essence, saving a lot of time and energy. You should be more conscious of giving back. Besides, I've always advocated for win-win situations."

Jiang He stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "If you want to take something, you must first give something."

Lilith opened her eyes in confusion, "You're not satisfied with this enhancement?"

"I'm not so ungrateful as to not know what's good for me, so I might as well be frank," Jiang He replied, confirming that this was indeed a leap forward in his abilities.

Lilith held up one finger: "There's only one condition: before you leave this world, you need to acquire a warship. The portable sanctuary is large enough to hold it. This will also benefit you, or rather, even if I want to achieve my goal, I need you to carry it out."

"can."

Jiang He used 10 Lucky Stones to open all 24 Crimson Cards, obtaining 8 rare items, bringing the total harvest of the Annihilation of Dust Guild to 28 items.

"What do you think we should do?" Jiang He asked. Many of these items were damaged, and he had just finished streamlining his system. He didn't want them to be an eyesore, mainly because there were too few useful items.

Lilith pondered for a moment and said, "You can eat all 10 of the damaged items. I suggest selling the rest to extraordinary forces, such as the Order Bureau. Your corrosive power can be enhanced there."

Jiang He nodded. After opening the Bronze Destiny Treasure Chest, he received the defeat compensation from Advisor Gu, bringing his total game currency to 7000. Each upgrade of the excellent-grade energy nature consumes 200 game currency, leaving him with a shortfall of 7000.

After consuming the 10 damaged items one by one, Jiang He felt that his teeth had been significantly improved. The great enhancement of the Overlord Blood Body involved all aspects, and the advanced physique alone allowed him to withstand ordinary sniper bullets.

“The Origin Items contain basic extraordinary factors. You can’t absorb the various rules and traces within them for now, but absorbing these basic factors will still improve you, and they are relatively pure,” Lilith reminded her.

[Note: Your binge eating progress bar has been reset twice.]

[Note: You have acquired the Rare Passive Skill - Extraordinary Burst II - This passive skill grants a 20% single-attribute enhancement to any ability (this will be reduced if the target's rank is too high)]

"To fill it completely, you need two complete rare items or ten damaged items. The value of the items will be greatly reduced once they are damaged."

Jiang He left behind 8 items suitable for use, and ate and digested the other 10.

[Note: Your binge eating progress bar has been reset five times.]

[Note: Your Extraordinary Burst has been upgraded to VII. This passive ability grants a 70% single-target enhancement to any ability (depending on rank)]

"What does 'The Blood Feud Blade of the Chosen One' mean?"

"My advice is to hold off for now. You might be able to withstand the backlash of fate, but the cost will be so high that it will definitely not be worth it. Of course, this is just a suggestion, after all, your Silver Will is followed by Stubborn Donkey."

Jiang He stood up, and the sound of wood creaking under his feet immediately filled the air, leaving two footprints on the library floor.

"Try not to take any action in the next few days."

Lilith stepped forward to support the other person. She only needed to guide the flow of energy to greatly alleviate the discomfort caused by this leap in strength. Moreover, since she was in a projection state, others could not detect her presence.

"We need to find a place to get a gun."

Jiang He realized that he had completely lost the Crimson Baptism. He was quite comfortable using that sniper rifle, and he urgently needed to replace it. There were no guns among the spoils of the Xiaochen Guild.

“You can’t blame me for this,” Lilith said honestly. “Rare items are just decorations to me. Besides, your lethal strikes now work not only on bullets but also on fireballs. In short, a sniper rifle is nothing to me.”

Chapter 232 Three Perfections

Outside the Great Library.

Ah Da and Ah Er stood guard faithfully for two days. Wu He, who was left behind in the park, sent a company over, whose officers were all from Shuguang.

In layman's terms, this company wasn't there to ensure safety, but rather to make a grand entrance for their leader.

Jiang He got into the jeep and headed to the Queens Police Department building. Ah Da, in the driver's seat, spoke up:

"Boss, the council has issued a new notice: due to the terrorist attack by the dark creatures that resulted in the deaths of the commander and several council members, the council chairman has decided to launch an expedition against the city ruins of Xidu. The notice is titled 'Righteous Revenge,' and the second fortress in the northern part of the alliance has expressed its support. The council is informing you to attend and participate in the vote tomorrow night."

Jiang He brought out several grilled sturgeon as snacks. The expedition had been planned long before the academy incident. The council chairman's current display of revenge was truly a self-directed act, and every bit of value contained in the commander's death had been squeezed out.

The convoy of jeeps moved forward on the road, with armored vehicles carrying heavy machine guns mounted on their roofs bringing up the rear.

"Ah Da, let's not go to the Security Bureau yet. Let's find a place to eat. Pick a few people to pretend to be robbers and attack the Royal Bank. Go now and remember to kidnap hostages."

"clear."

Ada led the convoy to a hotel in Queens, where he picked a few Dawn officers and secretly left.

The hotel gave a grand welcome to the new Director of Security and made proper arrangements for his accompanying security personnel.

"What are you planning to do? Are you trying to achieve results as soon as you take office?" Lilith gently fiddled with the jam and ice cream on her plate; her projection was unable to eat.

“I’ve got my eye on the gold in the Royal Bank,” Jiang He replied.

“Oh, by the way, you have an alchemical formula for creating tool-like beings using gold and corpses.” Lilith pushed out the ice cream in her hand. “Try this.”

"I won't eat." Jiang He shook his head and refused. He opened the panel and sent a friend message to Consultant Gu. The other party had been handing over the association's work these past few days, and he didn't know what the point of procedures was now that they were in another world.

“My sense of taste now depends entirely on you.” Lilith clasped her hands together in front of her chest and shook them, looking sorrowful. “Please, I’ve done my part, haven’t I?”

Jiang He took the plate expressionlessly and tasted the ice cream. He still preferred meat.

A cool, sweet taste spread through her mouth, and at the same time, Lilith showed a pleased expression.

"As expected, food processing is a talent of humans in all worlds. Speaking of which, I am an honorary member of the Demon Chef Committee. Would you like to become a qualified Hell Demon Chef? I can directly recommend you to the qualifying rounds, which will be held on the Gourmet Star in the void."

Jiang He said calmly, "If you let me go to Gourmet Star, you wouldn't believe it if there wasn't some explanation there."

Lilith said sincerely, "Not knowing how to cook is such a cruel torture for gluttony. Can you bear to eat barbecue every time or just eat raw food?"

"What's wrong with preserving the original flavor?"

"That's because you haven't seen dishes that sparkle."

Jiang He turned her head, and an elderly man in a suit walked into the hotel.

"A total of 8 items, each costing 1600 game coins, making a total of 13000 game coins. No bargaining."

As soon as Consultant Gu sat down, he heard the transaction price. He immediately turned his attention to the eight rare items on the table. The price was quite fair, and it was clear that it was the result of careful calculation. The Bureau of Order basically did not refuse to accept Origin items.

"Such a large transaction, why not make a deal..."

"Shut up." Jiang He interrupted, coldly saying, "Buy it or don't, the current realm isn't just about the Bureau of Order."

Consultant Gu chuckled and said, "The price is reasonable, but the amount is quite large. I have no intention of bargaining. You need to give me half an hour to make arrangements. There are enough colleagues to scout ahead in this world, but game currency is our lifeline, and I need time."

Jiang He nodded in agreement.

An hour later, Consultant Gu contacted more than 30 of his game friends from the Bureau of Order and pooled 13000 game coins through the payment function. This money was all private property that had not gone through the approval process, and the fundraiser could have easily absconded with the money. Consultant Gu barely managed to raise the funds by using his reputation as a Silver-level expert as collateral.

Money and goods are both in order.

Jiang He's game currency reached an unprecedented 20000. He immediately invested all of it into the power of corrosion, as it would take 300 game currency to advance to the perfect level.

[Superior Corrosion LV30 → Perfect Corrosion LV20: Deals 30% additional corrosion damage]

At this point, all three energy properties have been upgraded to the perfect level.

To date, all of our accumulated strength has been transformed into real combat power.

Meanwhile, someone became penniless again, experiencing the lowest point since becoming a player.

[Game Coins: 0]

"The hundred sets of lightweight alloy combat suits you requested still need to be made overtime, so I'll be leaving now." Consultant Gu stood up and packed up the props. His primary task now was to bring the results back to the association and hand them over to his colleagues who were about to return to the present world.

But the next moment, Consultant Gu heard a notification tone.

[Notice: You are suspected of illegal fundraising. Please remain where you are and await further instructions. A procedural hearing will be initiated.]

[WARNING: This player is outside the current area. Order Trial is suspended, Order Guardians are silent, and the dispatch procedure is initiated. Select the nearest Executor—Player ID: 79**6]

[Announcement: Exclusive Hunting Mission Issued]

Consultant Gu looked surprised. Generally speaking, it is not a problem to raise funds outside the current territory. The Order Guard is internal but not external, but there is a prerequisite that there are no executives around.

Jiang He was also taken aback. He knew that the Origin did not allow large-scale illegal fundraising and exploitation, but he never expected to see it in person today.

[Hint: Exclusive hunting mission now available: Hunt down player 32**8. Mission reward: 1 random rare gem]

In an instant, Advisor Gu felt a surge of cold killing intent, and a chilling premonition of death pierced his mind. He turned his head in disbelief. The executive officer was right in front of him, and the other party was much stronger than when they fought two days ago.

The entire hotel was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

But after a moment, the boiling killing intent gradually cooled down.

"What are you waiting for if you're not leaving?" Jiang He tilted his head in confusion. A rare gem was not worth turning against a silver-level expert. This level of reward was no longer enough for him. He hadn't even put any effort into the hunting missions in the world itself. However, if the target was a bronze-level peak expert face to face, that would be a different story, since it would just be a matter of course.

"I thought you wanted to get both money and goods."

Consultant Gu quickly took his things and left, clearly indicating that the monster had become even stronger.

Jiang He watched the other person leave.

Across the table, Lilith said regretfully, "Your ability to conceal your killing intent is no longer up to par with the circumstances. But if it weren't for your current special condition, you would have had a perfect opportunity to ambush him just now."

"Don't you prefer a win-win situation?" Jiang He asked in surprise.

“You have to be qualified to achieve a win-win situation,” Lilith said with a seemingly gentle smile.

Chapter 233 Tons of Gold

Lunch is over.

Jiang He had just stepped out of the hotel and gotten into the jeep when the Security Bureau's liaison office called.

Ah Er relayed: "Boss, there was a robbery at the Royal Bank in Queens. The robbers took control of the scene and killed two security guards and a mid-level ability user who intervened."

Most mid-level ability users lack the ability to resist firearms, while all Dawn People possess shooting and hand-to-hand combat skills and are armed with modern assault rifles, making them quite formidable.

"Notify the Security Agency that I will handle this personally."

"clear."

The convoy of jeeps sped off and arrived at the Royal Bank, just three blocks away, in only ten minutes.

The car phone rang incessantly throughout the journey, with calls from the governing office and the council inquiring about the matter. Mr. A, as the newly appointed governor, also paid close attention to the issue.

"...The Royal Bank is the Alliance's largest asset. With the expedition imminent, both the arsenal and the logistics department need funding and stability. So, let's resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"understood."

Jiang He hung up the phone. The news of the Great Expedition was only announced a few days ago, but preparations had already begun months ago. Attacking the Royal Bank at this time to create chaos would not affect the overall situation. Therefore, Mr. A directly ruled out the possibility that someone was deliberately trying to stop the expedition. The arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released.
