Shadow Killer scratched his head and waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, Boss. The word 'caution' is etched into my soul."
"It's 'slippery' that's engraved in your soul, right?" Ling Ruoxi ruthlessly refuted him.
Shadow Killer snorted, pretending not to hear. He quickly opened the equipment interface and began upgrading his virtual mech. As he operated, he muttered to himself, "This time it's not going to work. I need to add two more layers of shields and a high-energy defense array to the mech, otherwise I'm afraid these guys will turn me into scrap metal again."
Seeing this, Ling Ruoxi sneered, "Cousin, I'm afraid your spirit stones can't hold up anymore. You didn't learn from being blown to pieces last time, and now you're ready to be a moving target again?"
"What do you know! This is called preparing for a rainy day!" Shadow Killer retorted confidently, as if his wallet, which had been almost drained of spirit stones, did not exist at all.
Xiang Fan shook his head and helplessly turned off the virtual screen. He said calmly, "Stop talking nonsense! Get ready! The teleportation array will be activated immediately."
The group quickly entered the Spirit Realm battlefield and formed a team to head to the Chaos Region. Amidst the dazzling psychic light of the teleportation array, Xiang Fan took one last glance at the news channel and muttered to himself, "These runes... are indeed problematic."
When the light faded, they found themselves in the desolate reaches of the Chaos Realm. Above them was a sky coated in a thick layer of dust, beneath them lay the shattered remains of virtual mechas and scattered parts. A cold breeze blew, picking up fragments of shattered psychic light. The entire environment felt oppressive and eerie.
Ling Ruoxi frowned and glanced at the ground with disdain: "This place... is worse than a garbage dump. It looks like the recent battle was quite brutal."
The Shadow Killer was as excited as a hound. He glanced around and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Treasure chest! I saw a treasure chest! This luck is ridiculous!"
Before he finished speaking, he controlled the mecha and quickly rushed towards a virtual treasure chest half-buried in the ground. He turned around and shouted to everyone, "Take your time to study it. The treasure belongs to me!"
"Hey, stop it!" Ling Ruoxi was about to stop him when Shadow Killer had already opened the treasure chest's lid. However, at that moment, a low, mechanical sound of footsteps could be heard from a distance, shaking the ground slightly.
Xiang Fan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Be careful, something is coming."
The Shadow Killer froze for a moment, then looked up to see several Qi-training AI mechas slowly emerging from the distant ruins. Their psychic shells shimmered with strange chains of runes, like burning poisonous flames. The oppressive presence of these creatures made it clear at a glance that they were not to be trifled with.
"Uh..." The Shadow Killer froze in place, nearly dropping the spiritual fruit in his mouth. "Why are you making it so formal? It's just opening a treasure chest, so why would you directly call the security team over?"
Ling Ruoxi rolled her eyes: "Who told you to be so impulsive? What should we do now?"
Luo Tiangang slowly raised the mecha's psychic shield, his eyes solemn: "This opponent is not simple."
Shadow Killer swallowed, scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Um... everyone, can you help me? Don't let me carry this alone!"
