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

"Oh ho ho!"

Inside the warden's office, Shi Yu squirmed on the soft bed.

"This quality of life is not bad."

I picked up a Hafk drink from the side and took a sip; a flavor similar to iced black tea spread in my mouth.

Shiyu smacked her lips, completely losing her previous calm and solemn demeanor.

Maintaining a persona in front of his subordinates is exhausting; he prefers this relaxed state.

After resting for a while, Shigure sat up in bed and reached out to touch the mask on her face.

With the 1400 kill points he just acquired, plus the 100 kill points he had left, he now has a total of 1500 kill points.

"How about we upgrade our abilities first?"

Recalling the amplification from using "Flower," the warden, who could only crush Raven with his original strength, could now simply kick the latter to death like a stray cat on the roadside.

The gap between special-grade and elite-grade is very clearly shown.

For example, if Shigure could tear Said apart with his bare hands now, then as a special forces-level fighter, he could go toe-to-toe with Reiss.

As the top melee fighter in Delta Force, defeating Reese in melee combat is no less difficult than killing a raven in melee.

You should know that ravens have execution techniques.

As soon as you get close, you'll taste the grenade!

Shigure, with his special-class strength, can completely overwhelm Raven in close combat.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu reached out and touched himself, and a data panel immediately appeared before his eyes.

【Name: Shigure】

Kill Points Balance: 1500

[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)]

[Detection indicates you have received a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant (elite level). Your physical fitness and reflexes have been comprehensively enhanced, and your abilities have been significantly boosted!]

[Overall Strength Assessment: Elite Team of Special Forces]

As one of the top ten players on the Delta Red Wolves leaderboard, Bai Shao's ultimate skill was automatically classified as elite-level by the system.

"I wonder how the system will classify players after everyone has traveled through time."

Is it a recruit-level class based on equality for all, or is it based on Delta Force game data?

Shiyu rubbed her chin and pointed her finger at the "Golden Rose" section.

[Do you want to spend 5000 kill points to upgrade "Golden Rose" to Special Grade?]

Yes or No

"No, no, no!"

Upon seeing the price tag of 5000 kill points, Shigure, who had watched Dora the Explorer, broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.

"Is this robbery?!"

Shi Yu muttered to herself, and, not believing it, pressed the brain-computer interface again. As expected, it also gave 5000 kill points.

Next up are combat proficiency, neural perception, and gunfighting, all with 5000 kill points.

Shi Yu raised her trembling finger and poked at the special-grade firearms proficiency.

[Do you want to spend 20000 kill points to upgrade "Weapon Mastery" to the highest level?]

Yes or No

"yes!"

[Ding! Your kill points are insufficient to upgrade!]

"Forehead……"

He now understands that whenever he upgrades himself, he basically advances to a major stage, unlike the Silent Face which only increases defense by 0.2 levels at a time.

"Let's upgrade our equipment first."

His current abilities are sufficient; as long as he is not besieged by the army, he is not afraid of anything else.

He reached out and touched his trench coat, beginning another upgrade.

[Do you want to spend 100 kill points to upgrade the "Stand Collar Trench Coat" to Lv.1?]

Yes or No

"yes!"

Shi Yu waved his hand and leveled up 5 times.

【Name: Stand Collar Trench Coat】

[Rank: Lv.5]

Defense Level: 6

[Durability: 200/200]

[Ability: Tailwind (When there is a strong wind on site, your speed increases by 50%)]

[Description: War rages across the land, the storm subsides into the tides!]

Looking at the level 6 defense rating, Shigure nodded in satisfaction, a smile curving his lips.

"All 1500 kill points spent, time for bed!"

Shi Yu, wearing a mask and still dressed, buried her head in the pillow.

……

"Hey, damn it! Xiao Feng, look, that Hafk soldier ran away!"

Song Lanfeng turned his gaze and saw a soldier wearing Hafk standard equipment dragging his broken right leg, limping towards the buoyancy chamber.

Song Lanfeng's two Deep Blue teammates have now been replaced by Wei Long and Hong Lang, while he remains the female healer.

"Haven't you noticed anything unusual about the human-machine interaction in the last few space missions?"

Song Lanfeng asked with a serious expression, while his two teammates, like Le Tian, ​​were completely bewildered.

"Huh? Is there a difference? I feel they're both pretty Tang-style."

"I feel something's different; the success rate of shipping has clearly decreased!"

"..."

Song Lanfeng stared at the two of them speechlessly, then walked forward on his own and caught up with the soldier.

When the soldier with the broken leg saw Song Lanfeng chasing after him, he collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat. Under Song Lanfeng's astonished gaze, he voluntarily removed his level 4 armor and level 3 helmet.

"Here you go! Please don't kill me! Please!!!"

A trembling voice came from behind him, and Song Lanfeng suddenly stopped and turned to look at his two teammates.

"Did you hear what he said?"

His teammate shook his head, looking at Song Lanfeng with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't he just say, 'Who's there? Show yourself!'?"

"Isn't this Xiaobing's AI voice? What are you surprised about?"

Song Lanfeng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if only he could hear the true words of these humanoid beings.

"What on earth is going on...?"

Song Lanfeng looked at the soldiers on the computer screen who kept begging him for mercy. To others, he seemed to be just lying there motionless.

In the end, Song Lanfeng held off two of his teammates, preventing the soldier from being killed, and let him go.

"I'm not playing today, I have something to do."

After successfully evacuating, Song Lanfeng called out to his two teammates and then logged off.

"What's wrong with him today? He seems really strange."

After Song Lanfeng quit the game, his two teammates discussed it with confusion.

Inside a rented room, a computer screen displayed numerous commentary videos related to Yang Qiguo's live broadcast.

Song Lanfeng read almost all of them, but they all attributed the strange warden to the "Rebirth System" launched by the government.

"Could that soldier also be a player from the official beta test?"

Song Lanfeng shut down the computer, sat up from the chair, and rubbed his stinging eyes.

"Phew, I've been playing for too long, let's get up and relax for a bit."

Walking to the window, putting the Delta matter out of my mind, everything seemed to quiet down.

A gentle evening breeze is blowing; it's almost midnight.

He looked down at the brightly lit city below, the golden lights illuminating the streets.

Unlike the wars in the Delta, there is only peace and tranquility here.

He stared at the distant night view for more than half an hour.

Song Lanfeng glanced at the time on her phone; it was almost midnight.

"Let's hit the delta a bit before we sleep!"

He strode to the computer and was about to reach for the power button when the clock on the bedside table pointed to 0:00.

Click—

The sound of the button being pressed rang out, and Song Lanfeng's vision suddenly receded, a feeling of weightlessness came over him, and a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind.
