Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 75 Nut Fortress (Please Subscribe)

Lu Chaoding studied the [Plane Merit Shop] for a while, then spent 1000 merit points to buy the [Tier 2 Equipment Upgrade Scroll].

Then, Lu Chaoding took out the tattered sack.

Although the tattered sack is only a one-star carry item, it is no ordinary item; it can even be called a strategic carry item.

Lu Chaoding had already refined the tattered sack to +1 using a one-star [Refining Jade]. At that moment, a system notification appeared: "Ding, are you sure you want to use the [Tier 2 Equipment Upgrade Scroll] to upgrade the tattered sack back accessory?"

"Sure!"

"Ding! Upgrade successful! Congratulations on obtaining the two-star back accessory [Broken Sack]!"

As the system notification sounded, the tattered sack in front of Lu Chao flashed with golden light and then returned to its original state; it was still a dirty, leaky, tattered sack.

"Hey, there's a new bullet-blocking effect, that's pretty cool!"

Lu Chaoding put the tattered sack away with satisfaction.

He checked the Dimensional Merit Shop again.

"They even let you recharge! I wonder how well my Flaming Swords sold, and how much money they made me?"

Lu Chao muttered something under his breath.

He is currently unable to access the trading platform or withdraw the gold coins there. He doesn't have many gold coins in his storage space. Including the ones he received from Jinx and the others' Glory Chest, he only has a little over 5,000. If he were to use them to recharge in the Dimensional Merit Shop, he would only get a little over 1,000 Dimensional Merit Points.

"This recharge system is a bit of a rip-off... The exclusive material dungeon should be a good thing, but it's too expensive, I can't afford it! Oh well, I'll just get a title to play with for now."

Thinking of this, Lu Chaoding spent 2500 yuan in the interdimensional merit shop and bought the [Custom Title].

Immediately, the "Custom Title" settings page appeared in his character information panel.

After studying it for a moment, a row of large golden characters appeared above Lu Chao's head: "Reliable Sword Immortal LV99".

Those large golden characters are Lu Chaoding's custom title. It has no additional attributes and cannot be changed once set.

Of course, Lu Chaoding can turn it off manually, and there is no limit to the number of custom titles; more can be purchased.

"Interesting! With this title, I feel even more like an NPC."

Lu Chao was quite pleased with himself, and a moment later he went to chase after Jinx and the other two again.

Half an hour later, he carried Jinx back to the camp's respawn point in a tattered sack.

"Finally caught one! It's really not easy to catch someone these days!"

Lu Chaoding muttered to himself, then released Jinx and began to mercilessly slash at her. Two minutes later, Jinx was reduced to level one, and killing her no longer would grant him any more dimensional merits. So Lu Chaoding stopped attacking her and started thinking about chasing after Joanna and Polana.

Jinx finally had a chance to speak. Staring blankly at the title above Lu Chao's head, she said, "Reliable Sword Immortal? So you're the Reliable Sword Immortal? We thought you were the Daring Sword Immortal!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoding stopped, gave Jinx a sideways glance, and said, "Give me 2500 V, and I can become a daring sword immortal!"

"What? You want money? I don't have any!"

"How dare you not wear a hat!"

Lu Chao killed Jinx again, then didn't waste any more time with him, soaring into the air on his sword to continue capturing people.

About an hour later, Lu Chaoding still hadn't found Joanna and Polana, but he did find Hans, the black man.

Hans, the black man, was jungling in the jungle when he saw Lu Chaoding. He went up to him and said, "Oh, Sword Immortal, are you looking for Joanna and Polana? I saw them heading towards Nut Fortress. Do you need me to lead the way?"

"No need, focus on leveling up!"

Lu Chao said gently, while tossing down the three-star weapon [Small Spirit Cannon], thinking to himself, "Only when I level up can I continue to reap the rewards."

"Oh my god, it's a three-star weapon! Sword Immortal, you are so generous! I am willing to be your loyal servant!"

The black man, Hans, picked up the [small spirit cannon] with a look of surprise and delight, and then quickly bowed to Lu Chao to show his gratitude.

Lu Chaoding showed no reaction and left coldly.

He then headed straight towards the Nut Camp.

Even if Joanna and Polana hadn't gone there, Lu Chaoding still planned to explore Nut Fortress.

In his mind, Nut Fortress should be comparable to Great Sword Breaking Void Mountain, which is the headquarters of the Great Sword Sect and should have many NPCs. Nut Camp should be similar. He thought that perhaps killing the high-level NPCs in Nut Fortress would also yield loot.

A moment later, Lu Chaoding arrived at the third high ground where Nut Fortress was located.

He gazed at the dark, metallic-looking high wall, refraining from making any rash moves. Instead, he raised the Great Xuan Sword to its highest point and looked out into the distance.

From Lu Chaoding's perspective, the entire Nut Fortress resembled a three-tiered black steel cake, with a black, gear-shaped base. The diameter of that gear platform was probably over 1,200 meters, and it was slowly rotating, causing the massive fortress to rotate as well.

The high wall outside the fortress is the first layer of the steel cake, seemingly cast in iron, estimated to be 100 meters high and more than 20 meters thick, with many gun emplacements and a large number of patrolling soldiers on it.

Behind the high wall, on the second level of the fortress, are eight enormous, tower-like metal pincers evenly distributed.

The tower-like structures that Lu Chaoding had seen before were these metal clamp arms. They were about 30 to 40 meters in diameter and over 200 meters long. The huge mechanical parts on them were completely exposed, and the structure was full of the power and oppressive feeling of a mechanical body.

Then, on the third level of the fortress, there stood three rocket-like objects. Lu Chao was unsure whether they were buildings, rockets, or weapons, but they all looked very high-tech.

At the very center and highest point of the fortress, there was a platform. Lu Chao could vaguely see a huge female statue standing in the center of the platform. The statue was pure white, which contrasted sharply with the overall black of the Nut Fortress. It had huge wings and held a sword in front of it, like an angel statue.

Upon seeing the statue, Lu Chao immediately sensed its significance and tried to get closer for a better look. Suddenly, he received a system notification: "Ding! Large interdimensional stronghold detected. Automatic mission: Attack Nut Base. Real-time rewards of dimensional merit points will be given based on the extent of the damage. If Nut Fortress is successfully destroyed, an additional 100 million dimensional merit points will be awarded!"

"Ding, the occasionally unreliable system has started up, updating the tracking mission: Consume Dimensional Merit Points. Dimensional Merit Points will be awarded in real time based on the consumption results. If a total of 1 million Dimensional Merit Points are consumed, an additional Nut Fortress +100 will be awarded."
