Now that he thought about it, it must have been this golden glow that saved Tian Yingzi’s life, dissipating most of the bullet’s power, barely saving her from the sinister and vicious strike of that dead-faced man. Otherwise, with the force of the bullets, let alone Tian Yingzi blocking them, both of them would have been pierced through together, turned into skewered meat. No wonder the wound on Tian Yingzi’s chest was so exaggerated; obviously, although the golden glow absorbed most of the impact, it couldn’t prevent the high-speed rotational force of the bullet, which mangled her wound terribly. And what exactly was this golden glow? He finally remembered: before the great calamity at Yuban Mountain, he had once used this on his own mother, simulating the energy armor unique to his synthetic clothing. After the disaster at Yuban Mountain, Lin Feng noticed his mother seemed to have reversed aging by over a decade, but he couldn’t figure out why. He wondered if his mother’s narrow escape that night, and her subsequent adoption of thirteen mutant creatures affected by the Nine Absolute Spirit Gathering Array, had something to do with the energy armor he had casually applied. But later, without time to investigate thoroughly, he was embroiled in a series of chaotic events, and now, forced into exile, he had transformed into Lin Feng, a tycoon in the capital worth billions, and a promising young military officer, Lieutenant Lin. All these changes seemed like a dream, surreal and fleeting. Later, Lin Feng secretly conducted experiments on others with the energy armor, naturally choosing his close bodyguard, the beautiful Tian Yingzi, as the first subject. He even once released the Silver-haired Wolf King Willie to experiment on him. The results were surprising: Tian Yingzi’s body couldn’t accept this energy armor, whereas Willie could equip it, and each time Lin Feng applied the energy armor to Willie, he would suddenly look spirited, his fur standing on end, as if he could swallow the moon. Lin Feng then assumed that his energy armor was a mutated game equipment, effective only on entities related to the game “Fantasy World,” so he didn’t delve deeper. This time, taking advantage of Tian Yingzi’s sleep, he secretly conducted another test, confirming that the golden light emanating from her body was indeed the energy armor he had applied in haste. However, Lin Feng was puzzled; why did it work this time when previous attempts had failed? After much thought, he recalled that besides the peculiar mutant creature, Willie, the only other person who had successfully received this effect was his mother. Could it be that only his family could receive this protection? The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. The only strange change in Tian Yingzi’s recent behavior was her recognition by the Nuonuo AI system as a family member. In the relationship chart, Tian Yingzi, Xu Xiaoman, Wang Xiaoyun, and his parents had a unique mark under their profiles—a heart symbol, distinguishing them from others recorded by the system. Trying again to send a golden glow to Tian Yingzi, he immediately heard a system prompt that she had already equipped similar items and could not add more. Checking her attribute panel, a game-like interface popped up, showing her equipment slots empty except for the torso slot, where a small golden shield icon appeared. Upon focusing on this icon, a string of prompt characters appeared, similar to the synthetic game equipment he currently wore, but this detached piece had lower stats and durability (2/5). Clearly, Tian Yingzi had used up three points of durability when she blocked three bullets for him, which explained their narrow escape from the deadly sniper. This realization shocked Lin Feng. Did this mean he could now freely bestow special equipment from the game space onto his family members? Their equipment had durability limits, while his did not; what could be the reason behind this? ***The censorship beast has been too fierce lately; all the good Chinese characters are under a dumbing-down spell. I just don’t understand how a pure word like “cave” became the beast’s target. For a joyful reading experience, remember the only address (URL)/243 Illegal Weapons of Special Game Equipment. This wonderful discovery filled Lin Feng with endless speculations, thinking that with such a convenient method, protecting loved ones would be as easy as pie. He then rummaged through his storage space to see what equipment from the “Fantasy World” virtual world remained. Disappointingly, aside from some miscellaneous real-world items, not even the lowest-level Whirlwind Slash Demon Card was left. Those thirteen mutated creatures, after completing the task of guarding the Miracle of Mokhanla, were left in the Virtual Dream Realm when he impulsively decided to exit the game space. He didn’t have any ulterior motives; he just thought these thirteen pitiful creatures shouldn’t be confined in his storage space all the time, yet releasing them into the real world would cause a sensation. They seemed to enjoy the Virtual Dream Realm, so after some thought, he decided to let them roam freely there. Perhaps later, if a method was found, they could be awakened again. Since they were once fervent “Fantasy World” fans, living out their lives in the game might not be against their wishes. Seeing no more game equipment left, he recalled that to accumulate enough virtue points to open the space gate, he had traded all his remaining magic cards and some unsealed synthesis cards with the system.
At that time, he was unaware that these virtual world equipments had such marvelous uses. Now, having learned the hidden truth, his intestines turned green with regret. At this moment, he desperately wished to have extra equipment on hand to verify this bold conjecture. If it indeed had such uses, wouldn’t it be equivalent to easily creating countless formidable super-soldiers, personally crafting a loyal personal guard? The more he thought about it, the more anxious and impatient he became.
Players can trigger the system’s hidden tasks with special items, successfully completing one grants additional experience points and virtue points. XXXX pondered, and suddenly a thought struck him like a bolt from the blue. He recalled something very familiar, which he had heard not long ago during his first encounter with Qin Jian. Back then, he was scouring the world to accumulate enough virtue points because Mr. Wang was in a coma, and he wanted to use the Gate of Space to re-enter the learning mode of the Niu Niu system, hoping to find a cure for Mr. Wang’s ailment. However, due to subsequent events, he found himself entangled in numerous troubles, and this matter slipped his mind. Tonight, because of Tian Yingzi’s injury, a secret was unintentionally uncovered, making him realize the immense potential within Niu Niu that was yet to be tapped.
Clearly, he had fallen into a strange loop before. Niu Niu had given him many hints, and he had many opportunities to recognize Niu Niu’s true nature earlier, but these opportunities had slipped by in unforeseen circumstances. Perhaps, as Niu Niu had said, due to the system’s evaluation of his virtue, his access level was deemed insufficient, preventing him from uncovering these secrets.
“Virtue points, virtue points, I was such a fool!” By using special items, one could infinitely trigger the system’s hidden tasks, and completing these tasks would yield a substantial amount of system rewards in the form of virtue points! He remembered once in the Virtual Heaven Illusion, when he spent a fortune, it was very profitable. How could he have missed such a simple truth? He was truly a pig-headed fool!
