He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

Just then, a strange spatial fluctuation came from behind Qian Chuanzi.

Money String instinctively rolled forward, and the giant's body slammed to the ground with its momentum.

Chen Er's sneak attack failed. Holding the black crystal in his hand, the expression on his face changed from honest and simple to ferocious and twisted.

"How could you...?"

"I was on guard against you."

Qian Chuanzi stood up, his giant compound eyes fixed on Chen Er.

"Are you crazy? This is a drill!" Master Liu roared.

"A drill?" Chen Er laughed, a laugh like a madman. "This is all a scam! That gashapon merchant is using us as pawns!"

As he spoke, he swallowed the black crystal in one gulp.

The crystalline power absorbed into the body has completely spiraled out of control.

Chen Er's body swelled up like an inflated ball, his bones piercing his skin, his flesh twisting and turning, turning him into a deformed monster, half-human and half-monster.

With a backhand swipe, he sent Master Liu and Li Sanniang flying.

The two crashed heavily against the rock wall, instantly losing their fighting ability.

"I'll kill you... I'll kill all of you..."

The deformed monster roared and lunged at the money-stringer.

Inside the monitoring room, Gong Qing was about to go over.

"Wait." Tony reached out and stopped him.

"That's a traitor to my Quanxing sect," Gong Qing frowned.

"I know," Tony said, staring at the holographic screen, "but now it's a perfect litmus test."

"Let's see how much value 100,000 units of Giant Strength can bring in actual combat."

On the screen, the deformed monster had already pounced on Qian Chuanzi.

Qian Chuanzi raised his right foot without any fancy movements.

boom!

The earthquake trembled, and debris flew everywhere.

The deformed monster was trampled directly into the mud, without even having a chance to scream.

Dirt flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Money String remained in its giant form, looking down at the pile of things at its feet that were no longer recognizable as human.

His breathing was rapid, like a bellows.

He used all his strength in that kick.

The moment Chen Er transformed into that ghostly form and lunged at him, only one thought crossed his mind... to crush it.

"I...I killed someone?"

Money String's voice became lower in Giant form, but a tremor could still be heard.

"no."

Feng Zhenghao's voice came through the communication channel.

"That wasn't a real person; it was a puppet controlled by the black crystal that saved the other teammates."

Qian Chuanzi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Master Liu and Li Sanniang by the rock wall.

The two lay on the ground, their chests still heaving.

Alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his giant form vanished in an instant.

High-temperature steam gushed out from the back of his neck, and Qian Chuanzi was peeled out of the flesh wall, kneeling on the ground, soaking wet.

"Second Brother Chen..."

He looked at the pool of blood and flesh, his eyes reddening slightly.

Although the other party had just tried to kill him, before that, Chen Er was the kindest person to him in the Quanxing sect.

Don't overthink it.

Gong Qing emerged from the black portal, adjusting his glasses.

"He's not the Chen Er you know anymore."

Gong Qing squatted down and pulled out several broken black crystals from the pool of flesh and blood.

"These are pollutants left behind by higher-dimensional beings, specifically designed to bewitch those with weak wills."

"Chen Er has always been a fence-sitter in the team, so it's not surprising that he's being targeted."

Qian Chuanzi raised his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Then he..."

"He's dead." Gong Qing stood up, his tone as calm as if he were talking about what to eat today. "He was dead the moment he swallowed the crystal."

He turned to look at the holographic mimicry monsters that were still pouring in at the end of the passage.

"The drill will continue; there is still one and a half hours left."

"Can you stand up?"

Qian Chuanzi gritted his teeth and stood up, supporting himself on the ground.

His legs were still trembling, but his eyes had hardened.

"able."

……

The monitoring room was completely silent.

Everyone stared at the holographic screen, watching the replay of that kick.

The 15-meter-tall giant stomped down, causing the ground to collapse two meters.

The deformed monster didn't even have time to struggle before it was crushed into a pulp.

"Is this the power of giants?"

Old Liao swallowed.

"One hundred thousand dollars." Tony leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips. "Just one hundred thousand dollars."

"That fat guy hasn't even learned any fighting techniques; he can unleash this kind of destructive power purely on instinct."

"If it were a well-trained superhuman..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood.

If replaced with elites from Longhu Mountain or core members of Quanxing, the combat power that the Giant's Might can unleash would at least triple.

"Just how many goodies are hidden in that gashapon machine the boss owns?"

Feng Zhenghao stroked his chin, his eyes filled with greed.

"If you have money, then smoke."

Li Ang's voice came from the doorway.

He carried his third cup of coffee into the monitoring room and sat down next to Tony.

"The power of giants is just a product of regular gacha. As for what you can get from advanced gacha, you can imagine for yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the breathing of the people in the room became heavier.

"Boss."

Gong Qing suddenly spoke, his voice calm.

"Was that black crystal left behind by that higher-dimensional being this morning?"

"right."

Li Ang nodded and took a sip of coffee.

"Although I drove that guy away, the pollutants he left behind are still roaming the world."

"They specifically target those with weak wills, inciting them to breach the defenses."

"Chen Er is just the first, not the last."

Gong Qing pushed up his glasses, his eyes turning gloomy.

"Within the Quanxing sect, there are still a few fence-sitters."

"Then clean it up."

Li Ang spoke calmly, but his words sent chills down one's spine.

"The decisive battle is in three days. Going to the battlefield with a time bomb is suicide."

"I see."

Gong Qing stood up, turned around, and walked towards the teleportation portal.

His figure disappeared into the black vortex, leaving behind only a cold sentence.

"The Quanxing Sect has no need for traitors."

……

The drill continues.

Money String transformed back into its giant form and stood guard in the center of the passage.

After receiving emergency treatment, Master Liu and Li Sanniang were barely able to continue fighting.

The three worked together to eliminate the mimicry monsters that were surging in one by one.

But Qian Chuanzi's attention was always on his teammates around him.

The words of that anonymous text message were like nails stuck in his heart.

Don't trust anyone.

Chen Er's betrayal proved that this statement was not an exaggeration.

"One more hour."

Master Liu, panting heavily, swung his sword and cleaved open yet another monster.

"Just hang in there."

Li San Niang's fire wall had dimmed; her Qi was almost exhausted.

Qian Chuanzi didn't speak, he just mechanically punched, stomped, and tore.

His mind was in complete chaos.

Why would someone betray you?

Why did Chen Er swallow that crystal?

Why was that anonymous text message sent to me?

These questions crawled around in his mind like ants, making him extremely irritable.

Just then, the fog at the end of the passage suddenly dissipated.

The emergence of mimic monsters has stopped.

"Drill over."
