Chapter 144: 142: The Madman Who Turned Over, Preparations Before Attack

After seeing the incredibly spectacular sight in this space, Crazy Man's gaze fell on the main seat of the table.

It was a giant eyeball with magma flowing out, and branches emitting scary flames were attached to the eyeball.

"You are..." the madman asked tentatively with a hesitant look.

Su Yi sent out a thought: "It's me, Gehros."

Upon hearing the name, Crazy Man instantly jumped up from his seat and then expressed an extremely shocked thought.

"You...you are...Oh my God! Thank you for helping me that day!"

The Crazy Man was shocked inside, but he spoke respectfully.

Su Yi said casually: "You don't have to be polite to me. Dong Ri and the others have already introduced your situation to me in detail."

"You have been working undercover here. Thank you for your hard work."

"It feels bad to be overtaken by your companions, right?"

Hearing this, Dian Lao suddenly felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Since I had been staying at the company the whole time, I missed out on several major events over there, so naturally I didn't get as much spoils to share.

Even the three Tiegen brothers who worked for the nobles received some dividends because of their outstanding performance in the border battle.

However, I was of no help at all, and I was too embarrassed to share the spoils that others had earned with their lives.

I see that 10 out of 9 people in the internal beta test have become big shots, but I am still at level 7.

I have no skills, no equipment, and no minions.

Although Dongri and the others took very good care of him and gave him various skills and equipment, he could not accept them due to special reasons.

There were several times when he wanted to give up on the company, but the habit of perseverance that he developed since childhood allowed him to persevere.

Su Yi said: "I never treat my own people badly. I didn't contact you before because I couldn't find a suitable opportunity."

"After all, the people in the Navigation Department are not easy to fool. If you give you something in private and let them find out, you will end up in a bad situation."

After hearing this, Crazy Man nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is also the reason why I have never dared to accept the things they gave me in winter."

"Their relationship with you is already well known. This sudden gift and money from unknown sources will only expose my identity."

Su Yi then floated to the side of the thorn fire sword and said, "Let's go. This is your reward for lurking for so long."

The madman floated over hurriedly, and the moment he touched Sui, he disappeared from the hall and appeared outside the ruins.

This is a privilege that allows quick entry and exit after mastering the temple.

"Follow me." Sue said and started moving.

The lunatic immediately said, "I understand!"

After that, Suyi and Crazy Man moved forward again for about an hour.

Soon there was a small island in the middle of a purple lake.

There is an old tower on the island.

"Where is this?" The lunatic looked confused.

Su Yi then took Crazy Man directly into the lake.

"what!"

The madman then let out a scream because he found that the purple lake was full of all kinds of twisted purple insects!
This is not a lake, this is a bug nest!
Sui then directly bloomed the thorny fire tree.

As a large number of thorny vines unfolded, the terrifying ember divine fire burned all the nearby insects to death.

After sensing the horror of the Embers of Divine Fire, the other insects immediately tried their best to stay away from here.

Naturally, a path was made for the two of them.

The Crazy Man followed Sui carefully, looking at the thorny fire tree that was blooming and flowing with magma, his heart full of envy and admiration.

"No wonder they call you godfather in winter, this godfather is really reliable!"

With Su Yi leading the way, the two of them easily crossed the lake full of purple bugs.

When they arrived at the clock tower, Sui said, "I can only take you so far."

"There are traces of the Nightmare Herald here, and these traces have now condensed into an A-level holy relic."

"If you pass the trials of this tower, you will obtain the holy relic and receive the gift of the Herald of Nightmares."

Su Yi reminded: "No matter what you see later, don't be afraid!"

Hearing this, Crazy Man took a deep breath and said, "I understand! Thank you, righteous... leader!"

Then, under Su Yi's gaze, the madman walked in.

About half an hour later, Sui heard the screams of a madman coming from the clock tower, which were mixed with a strong crying tone.

But no matter how much he screamed or how much pain he was in, the madman's voice was still steadily approaching the top of the tower.

Soon, a heavy bell rang.

The helmet representing the Madman finally reached the top of the tower.

When he touched the big bell, he saw it quickly shrink and turned into a quaint little bell hanging on his helmet.

The fusion was successfully completed, Crazy Man was filled with excitement and joy, and said after running all the way down.

"Boss! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Oh my god! A holy relic! A-level holy relic! I feel like I'm dreaming!"

At this moment, the crazy guy's voice was full of excitement, and even trembled with tears.

This is a holy object! I have used a system that is not yet open at this stage!

Among the ten people at that time, I was the only one who had it!!!
Su Yi smiled and said, "Come on, I'll help you level up."

The crazy guy came to his senses and looked at Sui with excitement and admiration.

"You are like my second parents!!"

In the remaining time, Su Yi brought Crazy Man all the way to level nine.

This amount of energy is just a drop in the bucket for Su Yi, who is now level 18.

Su Yi said: "There may be some actions from the Navigation Department recently, please keep an eye on it for me."

The madman, with a surging heart, nodded immediately: "Understood!"

The sun rises at the company’s fourth employee dormitory.

After getting up from his 1-square-meter bed in the dormitory, Crazy Man looked at himself who had already reached level 9, but still felt like he was dreaming.

"Holy thing! Holy thing!"

Then the madman quickly sensed it and saw the detailed properties of the holy object.

【Name: Ripple Bell】

【Quality: Grade A】

[Category: Urobuchi Relic]

[Usage requirements: Pass the trial and sacrifice 50 Uranus coins every day. ]

[Effect granted: The wearer's innate ability, Void Ripples. ]

(The great pioneers used this as a pathfinder to navigate the abyss, effectively avoiding danger.)
[Name: Void Ripple]

[Level: Holy Relic]

[Usage conditions: None]

[Type: Active Use]

【Comprehensive destructive power: 0 entropy】

[Consumption: 20 traffic per time]

[Cooling down: 30 seconds/1 hour]

[Realistic effect: Release bell sound waves, detect all life units within a 50-meter radius centered on the body, cool down for 30 seconds.]

[Dream Effect: Release bell sound waves to detect the current storm situation in a standard area, lasting 15 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 hour.]

After reading these two messages, Crazy Man was shocked: "Holy crap! This holy object is too amazing!"

The effect of the virtual abyss ripples was quite ordinary in reality, but it was amazing in dreams. Detecting the storm conditions in a standard area was the decisive difference between life and death for a fleet.

The reason why the dark universe is terrifying is that the storms in it are capricious and unpredictable.

And this skill can continue to predict for fifteen minutes!
These fifteen minutes are enough for the spacecraft to cross 10 standard sectors and cover a distance of about 5 light years.

This is sufficient to meet most navigation needs for trade within a sector.

"Godfather! Godfather!!!" The crazy guy's face turned red with excitement.

"I have decided. I want to convert to the great 'Supreme Light Judgment Guixu Xuanhuang Emperor'!"

At this moment, the madman with such skills can finally turn over a new leaf and sing.

This skill of his can be said to be the most needed one in the entire navigation department right now.

Because this ability can help Keynes minimize losses!
"The chance to rise to prominence is finally mine!"

Lifting the curtain, the small room was filled with densely packed beds.

It was already seven o'clock and no one dared to sleep in. They quickly got up, washed up, and went to work.

Work starts at 8:30 and we have to arrive before 7:15.

The supervisor stipulated that one must first praise the Black Ash Goddess for 10 minutes, and then praise the Herald of Nightmare for 5 minutes.

Then spend 15 minutes encouraging each other and setting goals for the day.

The morning meeting starts from 8:00 to 8:30.

Although employees have complaints about the current head of the navigation department.

Unfortunately, they had no chance to resist.

I can only admit that I'm unlucky to have such a supervisor who likes to add drama and has too much work to do.

But today, Crazy Man is completely different. He knows that he is about to become successful!

At 8:30, after officially starting work, Dian Lao found an opportunity and reported directly to his superiors.

As L4, he went directly to L24 Keynes' office to report.

Keynes, who was in a state of panic at this time, was full of annoyance.

Iris's promotion has overshadowed him, and now that she has taken over the city of Laer, the gap between them is rapidly widening.

However, the development of the waterway on our side is still full of difficulties.

Since he has already lost the opportunity for promotion, even if the waterway is opened up this time, he will have to wait until next year for promotion.

The most critical thing is that the current budget has reached bottom, but there is still no hope.

Just then, the secretary walked in and said, "Deputy Director, a junior clerk wants to see you. He says he has received the gift of the Nightmare Herald."

"It can help you complete this navigation mission."

Hearing this, Keynes stood up suddenly: "Are you sure?"

The secretary said respectfully, "I'm not sure, but it's okay to let him come in and say a few words."

Thinking of this, Keynes immediately nodded and let the lunatic come in.

After paying respectful salute, the madman directly demonstrated his talent.

After seeing this talent, Keynes was immediately excited.

"Okay, okay! Okay!"

Cairns patted Madman's shoulder with excitement and said, "Madman... it's a bit of a weird name, but it's not a big problem."

"I remember you, you got the documents for Polly before, right?"

Crazy guy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Mr. Deputy Director."

“It’s an honor to have you notice it.”

Keynes said: "You will go to the front line with me today."

"As long as your abilities are useful, I will immediately upgrade you to L10!"

"If you can help me complete this mission, I'll make you L15!"

When he said this, Keynes sneered in his heart: "Elise, don't think that you are the only one who has capable subordinates!"

“Although the level of Nightmare Herald’s gift is still a little behind that of the Goddess.”

"But, in our Navigation Department, this is no worse than your Ghros's sacred fire!"

Thinking of this, Keynes looked at Crazy Man more favorably: "Go pack up and leave in half an hour!"

The lunatic nodded: "Yes, sir!"

After the lunatic left, Keynes immediately asked his secretary to check the lunatic's background.

"The details are very clean, there is no economic anomaly or gift anomaly."

"I have been working diligently in the company and have no contact with other people."

"Not bad!"

"It seems that during the Urobuchi Tide yesterday, I received the blessing of the Nightmare Herald."

"God is really helping me!"

……

While Keynes was excited, Sui had already held the second pre-war meeting for the attack on the fog.

We can see that there are quite a few people attending this meeting.

Not only does it include the three players Dongri, Evil God, and Thigh, but also Maria and Mochaka.

In addition, there was Jon, who completed the deployment work overnight, and a group of company executives.

Scola was the first to speak.

"In the past two days, we have made improvements to the insect-proof net. We have reduced its size so that it can fit the body's limbs perfectly, making it more suitable for individual combat."

"Given that each mission is not long, this one can only last two hours."

When Jon heard this, he was about to speak, but was stopped by Su Yi's look.

Michael from the logistics department said: "All the ammunition and weapons needed for this attack have been prepared."

"You can attack with confidence."

Maria asked Xiang Sui tentatively: "Do we... have it too?"

Su Yi asked back: "When has our company ever treated our allies unfairly?"

Hearing this, Maria laughed and said, "Indeed, you are right."

After the meeting, Jon asked curiously, "Dear Constantine, why didn't you let me tell you what I brought?"

Sue smiled and said, "Because your items are the real killer."

"Those nets are useless. They are just used to create visual traps for the other side."

Hearing this, Jon understood everything and said with a smile, "So that's it!"

This time Jon brought the most valuable things from the House of Mercy.

They didn't know what price they paid, but they worked overnight to develop the insect incense.

This thing is like a sachet.

It can emit bursts of special smell.

This smell can make the metal bone-eating beetles recognize the wearer as one of their own kind and will not attack.

With this thing in combination with the power armor, the coalition forces here can completely overcome this strange and dangerous fog and attack freely.

The reason why Sui insisted on carrying the modified insect-proof net was naturally to prepare for any emergency.

Because he asked Scola to modify the material properties of this thing.

Although the new material runs for a shorter time, the heat-melt reaction it triggers when shooting inside is twice as strong as before.

To put it simply, today's insect-proof net is a heavy bomb that can be detonated artificially at any time.

According to Scola's estimate.

If this thing is detonated using an ordinary rifle's melta bullet, its power can reach 3000 entropies!
It is equivalent to 30 high-explosive grenades detonating at the same time!
