I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

Night fell, and Shi Yu and the other two had already returned to the Special Operations Department.

In order to accumulate enough kill points to upgrade, Shiyu deliberately kicked two teams of players to death on the way back, and finally the kill point balance reached 5450 points.

After opening the door and entering the bedroom, Shigure placed the equipment on the table to her right and sat down on the bed on one side.

As usual, I pressed my right hand against my left arm, and another panel of data appeared.

【Name: Shigure】

Kill Points Balance: 5450

[Abilities: Close Combat (Elite Level), Firearms Proficiency (Special Forces Level), Gunfighting (Elite Level), Neurosensory Perception (Elite Level)]

[Substrate: Brain-Computer Interface (Elite Level), Corrosion Rose (Elite Level)]

[Overall Strength Assessment: Elite Level, Special Forces Level]

Looking at the panel flashing red light in front of him, Shigure reached out and tapped the "Brain-Computer Interface" section without hesitation.

He had already planned out the upgrade options beforehand: brain-computer interface first, followed by close combat, Gold Rose, gunfighting, and neural perception.

As my fingertip touched the screen, another notification appeared.

[Do you want to spend 5000 kill points to upgrade "Brain Machine" to Special Grade?]

Yes or No

"Yes."

As soon as the words were spoken, an unusual itching sensation came from the temples and the back of the head, accompanied by a large flow of information twisting between brain circuits.

Shigure first acquired some combat techniques related to special forces, which enhanced his control over his strength and subtle body movements.

The improvement in physical fitness wasn't as obvious, but it was still a bit better than before.

【Name: Shigure】

Kill Points Balance: 450

[Abilities: Close Combat (Elite Level), Firearms Proficiency (Special Forces Level), Gunfighting (Elite Level), Neurosensory Perception (Elite Level)]

[Substrate: Brain-Computer Interface (Special Grade), Corrosion Rose (Elite Grade)]

[Overall Strength Assessment: Elite Level, Special Forces Level]

Shi Yu glanced at the data displayed on the panel again. The overall strength assessment column had not changed and was still in the elite category.

"Just how strong does this special forces-level fighter have to be...?"

Although Shigure's warden template is a dungeon-level warden, which probably can't compare to the open world version, it's still a warden after all!

It's worth noting that the warden players fought in Tide Prison was comparable to Shigure in strength; the rumor that he could wipe out a squad with just three bullets wasn't just empty talk.

Despite his thoughts, Shi Yu wasn't upset. He could just keep leveling up. With the Killing System, he would eventually reach the pinnacle.

After dealing with the upgrade, the path forward has become clear.

He's going to explore the Great World, but before that, Shigure has to go back to Tide Prison.

Ever since learning that he could spend kill points to unlock the Tidal Prison instance in advance, Shigure has had a question.

"Can I use this feature to gain popularity...?"

Shi Yu stroked her chin and muttered to herself.

"Garlic Bird, things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

After the battle, Shigure felt that his strength had been somewhat weakened, so he decided to wait until he woke up from his nap before making any further moves.

Without taking off his clothes, he simply tilted his head back and fell onto the soft white bed, gradually drifting into a light sleep.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning arrived as usual.

At this time, the players were still working day and night in the dungeon, striving to improve their strength. Some of the bolder players also ventured into the open world to explore.

Strangely, none of these people have come out since they entered the Great World.

Nine hours have passed since the first person entered. Even if they were trapped in the Great World, they should have been able to use up one resurrection opportunity to return to the Special Operations Department.

"Should we go take a look?"

Yuqi's sweet voice, tinged with a hint of seriousness, rang in Bai Ze's ears.

The two were currently in Bai Ze's special operations unit, with a young man with a pointed head standing next to them.

Ever since being instantly killed by Shiyu last time, Bai Ze realized the danger of this world. If it were just him and Yuqi, they would at most have a certain advantage among the players.

So he had the idea of ​​finding a third teammate.

As for how they met...

Ever since Bai Ze displayed his rank of Private First Class on the regional communication channel, this person has been pestering him, constantly calling him "Sir, Sir."

Seeing that he was quite capable, Bai Ze finalized the deal.

"Little Smoke, what do you think?"

Bai Ze suddenly spoke up and asked, which startled the latter. He scratched his head and pondered for a moment before replying.

"Sir, I think..."

【warn!warn! 】

Suddenly, the commander's voice came through the headset, his tone unusually urgent.

"What happened?"

Yuqi murmured unconsciously, and the three of them looked at the red alarm light flashing continuously inside the Special Operations Unit, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Sir...the GTI won't be overrun by the monster horde, will it?"

"Why did you suddenly blurt out that?"

Bai Ze made a comment, and then the commander's voice came out again.

The Tidal Prison instance is now open for a limited time. GTI operators, please proceed quickly, infiltrate the prison, and defeat the Warden and Raven forces. Successful completionists will receive the rank of Sergeant Major!

As the words fell, the 3D projection in the center of the Special Operations Department suddenly turned on, projecting a three-dimensional structural map of the Tidal Prison.

The map is extremely complex, with crisscrossing lines, resembling an anthill that makes one's head spin just looking at it.

"Did I hear that right...?"

Yuqi turned her head stiffly to look at Bai Ze, whose expression was slightly unpleasant.

"Another unexpected event has been added, and now we have two paths."

After thinking it over, Bai Ze quickly made a judgment, looking at the two of them with a firm gaze.

"The risks of the Great World are currently unknown, so I think the Tidal Prison might be a good option."

"How so, sir?"

Xiao Xiaoyan's slightly immature face lit up with excitement, and her hands holding the gun trembled slightly, a sign of adrenaline secretion.

"First of all, Tidal Prison is just a dungeon. Apart from the boss, most of the AI ​​inside are low-level and pose no threat."

"Even if there is a threat, at worst they'll just die and be sent back to the Special Operations Unit, and you've seen it yourselves."

"Nine hours have passed, and not a single person has returned from the Great World, not even a single death has been reported!"

A resolute glint flashed in Bai Ze's eyes. He would either take a gamble and be happy if he got the red item for sale, or die without losing anything!

He glanced at the portable bag on his waist, then without hesitation, stepped forward and placed his right hand on the command platform under the gaze of the two men.

"Select map, Tidal Prison"

"Difficulty Level - Top Secret!"
