Global live stream of the containment of the aliens terrifies the alien fleet.

Enraged, Balrog 457 opened its mouth and swallowed the Fire Keeper whole, but its energy was like a drop in the ocean. In an instant, its flames began to flicker and dim, and its body trembled violently, like a candle flickering in the wind.

No matter how much it roars and struggles, its decline is irreversible.

The flames dissipated, and the colossal body was torn apart.

Cracks burst open on its body, from which small fire demons crawled out, tearing and devouring each other as soon as they appeared, creating chaos.

Finally, the colossal creature that had unleashed the cataclysmic destruction let out a mournful howl before its consciousness completely dissipated.

The flames contracted, then contracted again.

Until... only a tiny flame, the size of a match head, remained, flickering gently in the void.

Who would have thought? This seemingly ordinary wisp of fire almost burned the entire Earth.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their hearts churning with turmoil.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void.

A nearly transparent hand slowly reached out, its fingertips lightly touching the flame, and placed it into a fireproof, transparent container.

The movements were gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of control.

Flame Demon 457 was thus taken away.

Within the main world.

Inside the coffin, Plane Jumper 507 sprang up suddenly, as if someone had scalded his buttocks.

"I...I'm still alive? I didn't die? Waaaaah...President! Please, never make me do this kind of deadly work again! Please, never again!"

Before the words were even finished, Weird 507 had already scrambled out, his face still showing signs of shock.

Previously, Jiang Chen had already used his Level 4 Reality Distortion ability to enhance the "binding" effect on him... As long as the target is touched, the life form will be forcibly linked to him.

So the entire Flame Demon 457 was dragged into another dimension.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing Flame Demon 457 and receiving a reward]

[Ding! Popularity Points received: 140 million]

[Ding! Successfully contained Fire Demon 457, unlocking system rewards: Weird 124, Weird 168, gifted to Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("FireEaters")]

[Ding! Special item obtained: Type X Memory Potion]

The crisp, melodious notification sounds rang out one after another, like heavenly music.

Jiang Chen's lips curled up, and he almost burst out laughing.

This is a huge windfall.

Weird 124... Fertile soil.

Rating: SAFE

Description: 14 cubic meters of soil, originally found in a basement where residents were growing marijuana.

But this soil is extraordinary... It can grow to its peak condition in a very short time after any biological material comes into contact with it, especially suitable for plants. It requires no light, water, or fertilizer, and automatically repels all pests and invertebrates.

The crops grown here are delicious, visually appealing, and incredibly nutritious, making them the pinnacle of the food industry.

"The perfect planting tool! It looks like a safe-level system, but it's actually a strategic-level configuration! A nuclear-level cheat for post-apocalyptic survival! It's incredibly awesome!"

"Thanks to it, the entire containment base can be self-sufficient in food, and it will be top-quality, zero-pollution!"

Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

He tried it out casually; the seeds sprouted in a few seconds, matured in a few tens of seconds, and were laden with fruit a few minutes later... It was like running an agricultural simulator at ten times the speed.

As for Weird 168, that's even more interesting.

Weird 168... A bag of potatoes.

Rating: SAFE

Description: An ordinary burlap sack, which appears to contain about 200 potatoes and weighs approximately 45 kilograms.

But there's more to it than meets the eye.

The Mysterious 168-A is an alternate dimension whose upper limit has not yet been explored. It has been confirmed to have a volume of 100,000 cubic meters and is filled entirely with potatoes.

A true "universe within a bag," inexhaustible and boundless.

The exploration has stalled, not because we don't want to dig anymore, but because the nature of the space inside is too strange, and conventional methods simply cannot measure its boundaries.

When space was freed up inside the Weird 168-A, the nearby potatoes immediately entered a frenzied growth mode, as if they were splitting on their own and quickly filling in the gap to form a complete individual. The growth rate doubled within two hours.

In other words, possessing the Mysterious 168-A is equivalent to holding the lifeline of the Infinite Potatoes.

Of course, this isn't just true for potatoes. Any tuberous or root plant that can be introduced—such as yams or sweet potatoes—will trigger the same mechanism, causing them to multiply rapidly.

……

"Huh? A storage bag stuffed full of potatoes?"

Jiang Chen stared at the thing in front of him, his expression indescribable.

With a thought, he probed the interior of the eerie 168-A.

really.

As far as the eye could see, potatoes were rolling everywhere, densely covering the entire alternate dimension, like a yellowish-brown ocean.

I just picked one up.

The next instant, the potatoes around the gap slowly wriggled and quickly filled the crack, the newly grown potatoes were plump and round, perfectly formed.

"A potato buffet that you can't possibly finish?"

Jiang Chen chuckled softly, then his mind trembled slightly.

In an instant, the potato that was about to sprout came to an abrupt halt.

Instead, a patch of tender green grass sprouted from the soil, lush and vibrant with life.

Level 4 Reality Distortion Ability!

As long as it's within his capabilities, Jiang Chen can change it however he wants.

The burlap sack itself offered no resistance.

Just like the Flame Demon 457 back then... the only thing that can truly combat reality distortion is reality distortion itself.

This is also the fundamental reason for the existence of the "Achilles' Heel" task force.

That group of people were all reality warpers, including level one, level two, and even level three warpers.

The reason why the Flame Demon was successfully "bound" by Jiang Chen is ultimately because it has no resistance to reality distortion. Faced with level four distortion, it doesn't even have the right to struggle.

So he was forcibly branded and then kicked into another dimension by the demolition expert Sword 07, completely wiping out the area.

But what if you encounter something strange that possesses divinity, a special level, or supreme divinity...

Whether this "binding" will work depends on luck.

And this bag of potatoes clearly doesn't have the ability to resist the distortion of reality.

Therefore, Jiang Chen can modify its internal structure at will.

He's a true master of interior design and renovation.

But the real value of this thing lies in... it is an independent alternate dimension "treasure" that completely isolates it from the influence of the base's real-world stability anchor.

In a place like the base, even if Jiang Chen could distort reality, he would be forcibly pulled back to the baseline by the stabilizing anchor. The struggle between the two sides was like a tug-of-war, constantly consuming energy, and neither side could let up.

But now?

Not at all.

Although this SAFE-level potato bag couldn't withstand the distortion of reality, it formed its own little world.

Jiang Chen can do whatever he wants inside; the external stability anchor won't affect him in the slightest.

"Good stuff! It's fucking good stuff!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he was so excited he almost jumped up.

It felt like accidentally stumbling upon the ruins of an ancient immortal and inheriting their entire fortune.

With a Level 4 Reality Distortion at his disposal, he doesn't need to hide among a bunch of potatoes at all.

On the contrary, wherever he went, barren land turned into oases, withered ground blossomed with spring, lush vegetation, birdsong and fragrant flowers, a veritable paradise.

He casually took out the super soil he had received as a reward and threw it into his spatial storage.

Without any abnormalities, it landed steadily.

perfect!

In a swift and decisive move, the "Real-world Construction" mode was activated, and a celestial abode was conjured out of thin air.

Plant a few handfuls of Super Soil 124 in front of the door. The products that grow from it are all real, not illusory or distorted, and can be used freely.

"Awesome! So awesome! I, Jiang Chen, have finally achieved something great! I've transformed into a legendary reclusive immortal! It's absolutely exhilarating!"

Before my eyes, the palace stands majestic, purple clouds rise from the east, mythical birds circle, exotic flowers bloom, auspicious light lingers, and a thousand streams of auspicious energy flow.

This is his private property.

A safe haven that's a million times safer than the base!

Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing!

Satisfied, Jiang Chen exited the space, then his thoughts shifted.

The tattered burlap sack was instantly twisted and reshaped, transforming into a crystal jade pendant that hung steadily at the waist.

perfect!

Hahaha……

Without some kind of reality distortion ability, who would have thought that this tattered bag was actually a top-tier cave dwelling?

Only I can fully unleash its potential!

This is so awesome!!

In high spirits, Jiang Chen began to take stock of the rewards.

Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters")!

The moment they were summoned from the system space, the entire team landed with a thud, their momentum rising like raging flames.

Clad in fiery red armor, seemingly cast from molten lava, each soldier wielded specially crafted weapons resembling flamethrowers, flames flickering at the muzzles, exuding a palpable aura of killing intent and intense heat. Every single one of them was as sharp and ruthless as a blade, their eyes so cold they could ignite the air.

"Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9, 'Fire Eater,' greets the Chairman!"

The captain took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and his voice was as loud as thunder. Behind him, the team members lined up in perfect unison, their movements as uniform as a steel torrent forged in flames.

"Not bad." Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "Fire Eaters, return to your posts and await orders. You will be summoned to battle when there is a mission."

"Yes, Chairman!"

At a single command, the entire team swiftly withdrew, their figures disappearing deep into the base, like flames returning to the heart of a furnace, silent yet extremely oppressive.

This team is no ordinary force.

Each of them is born with fire resistance and possesses absolute control over flames. Coupled with their exclusive equipment, they are simply the nemesis of fire-type monsters and top-tier cleaners!

To put it bluntly, any special task force rewarded by the system must at least be at the level of a top-tier special forces soldier.

Those at the level of Fire Eater and Achilles' heel have already entered the ranks of "superpowered individuals" and are walking containment tools.

If we had had this team a few years earlier, we wouldn't have needed Bomb Disposal Hero 507 to deal with the Balrog back then.

A squad of Fire Eaters parachuted in, immediately took control and suppressed the situation, completed the containment procedures, and then went home to relax.

Unfortunately, they didn't exist back then.

Therefore, the only option is to rely on bomb disposal heroes to withstand the onslaught.

Now, Jiang Chen has four elite task forces at his disposal:

The Fire Eater.

Achilles' heel...Reality Twist Squad.

Plague Squad.

Pandora Squad (Captain: Abel).

The Four Heavenly Kings are beginning to take shape.

Even without a system, the research capabilities of the two PhDs would allow them to eventually build a team.

But that takes time, resources, and loyalty screening.

But the system's rewards are different...

Absolute loyalty, without reservation.

This is the most fatal advantage.

Special forces trained by the base itself always carry the risk of defection, and even if the probability is extremely low, they are still a potential threat.

But what the system provides? It doesn't exist.

Unless someone can forcibly distort reality and completely reverse their perception, they will remain loyal to Jiang Chen forever.

Compared to those D-class personnel who are casually thrown into experiments, these task forces are the truly reliable trump cards.

That's why, when containing 2006, Jiang Chen didn't hesitate to throw out several thousand D-class enemies as cannon fodder.

If Achilles were to fall to him, the casualties would likely be incalculable.

The optimal solution is to use cannon fodder to restrain and disrupt the target's state.

As for D-grade? He doesn't need it at all.

It's just a consumable.

Next, the final reward... an X-level memory potion.

Name: X-type memory agent

Quantity: 100 pieces

Note: This is a variant memory enhancer. After ingestion, it can significantly improve memory recall ability, even clearly reproducing any fragment from ten years ago, and significantly enhance brain activity. However, overdose can lead to neurological collapse and carries an extremely high risk of death.

Note: Access control is required; access by ordinary members poses a serious risk of data leakage.

"Heh, memory enhancement? Interesting."

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Chen produced a pure white pill in his palm, its surface shimmering with a faint light, much like the legendary panacea.

Let's copy this first.

Side effects? For him, they were practically nonexistent.

lethal?

joke.

With his divine coffin that can be restarted with a single click, plus his all-adaptive physique, who can say for sure that he will die?

As for leaking secrets?

Stop it.

This thing is hidden in the system panel, and even Gaia, the beautiful girl who has a daily soul conversation with him, can't find it.

His authority is the final line of defense.

So...side effects? None.
