As the wind pressed closer from behind, Kevin's hair stood on end, and he immediately leaped away.

A gray shadow carrying a fierce wind passed through the spot where Kevin had been standing and slammed heavily onto the two people who had just climbed out of the giant pit.

Kevin stared at the three-meter- Giant Wolf wearing a white nightcap, its sharp teeth dripping foul-smelling saliva, and his lips twitched slightly.

P. S.: I recommend two dark fairy tale films: <Little Red Riding Hood> and <Hansel and Gretel>. I personally think they're both pretty good.

Furthermore, this game world is a tool Hatsune Miku uses to collect or test data on human emotional responses, so it lacks the strict rules of traditional online games and tends to be more fantastical and bizarre.

Therefore, the author doesn't pad out content that isn't driven by the plot.

Chapter 168, Section 179: Infinite Leek Production

"After the Raccoon City crisis, I believe everyone hates dogs the most..."

Leon, dressed in a tattered trench coat and carrying a blood Blood Vial, raised his sword to block the giant beast's claw that was pressing down on his head. Then, he swept his sword across the air, the blade repeatedly slicing through the Giant Wolf's slick fur, leaving trails of blood mist.

"Captain, I won the right to open the Easter egg last time by playing rock-paper-scissors. Even though there wasn't anything good, don't always try to sabotage each other."

"We're all just black crows, what's the big deal? Stop watching, let's do it!"

Chris shook his head, brushing the dust off, then turned to his obviously slacking and petty boss and made a frank suggestion.

Kevin, realizing his attempt to shift the blame had been exposed, chuckled dryly and abandoned any further fun. He joined the hilts of his two guns together, forming a silver greatsword.

Then, as Kevin accelerated forward, the sword dragged along the ground, gathering momentum for a thunderous strike.

Half an hour later, the Giant Wolf and the little girl with animal ears collapsed and exploded one after the other amidst wails, turning into specks of light and dust.

The moment the shackles were broken, the experience points the three had accumulated from drawing Easter eggs instantly propelled them from level 30 to level 40, like a rocket.

Kevin stared at the strange patterns flashing across his hand and the Azure Ice Crystal condensing in his palm, slightly surprised. It seemed that he had gained some new techniques for using frost abilities.

Leon himself seemed to have taken a step closer to the image of Dante the Witcher, with two pistol holsters attached to his waist.

As for Chris, it seems to be more about a breakthrough in physical skills, with sharper eyes and quicker reactions.

Is it guiding us towards evolution?

Kevin seemed thoughtful, and a possibility came to mind.

In this Honkai world, the boundaries between virtual and reality are not clear. The most distinctive feature of the Apocalypse Virus lies in its interpretation of mental power and its use of genes as a medium for concrete recombination.

This Void Songstress, who can manipulate the Apocalypse Virus, may have the ability to gradually materialize some of the things players fantasize about.

However, this will inevitably be subject to the influence of factors such as qualifications, compatibility, and the laws of the world, and it is impossible to achieve a 100% replication.

For example, Chris's fake Witcher identity has already put him at a significant disadvantage compared to Leon, who is similar to Dante's alternate dimension counterpart.

With his level 30 skill, Leon was more than capable of dealing with the level 35 Wolf Grandma.

On the other hand, Chris finds it too much trouble to bully a level 30 werewolf loli, and even needs my help. It's really shameful.

After their injuries had healed, the group took stock of their spoils and their eyes immediately fell on a green egg and a yellow egg.

During this game's timing, the irresponsible System Elf, in order to be lazy, simply categorized the available Easter eggs into levels using the seven basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Different grades can only yield weapons or items of the corresponding grade.

Of course, it might just be another pile of experience points for the three of them.

After a round of rock-paper-scissors, Kevin won and earned the right to open two Easter eggs.

"Can't you just give me a weapon? I'll even accept the worst December Birthstone, I'm sick of grinding for items!"

Amidst the detached, Buddhist-like gazes of Leon and Chris, Kevin first sprinkled a bottle of holy water, then lit a small bundle of sage that had once protected Jesus, before finally putting on birthstones and other such items.

"I almost forgot, you two jinxes, get lost!"

Just as the commander was about to take action, he suddenly remembered that there were two more menacing individuals nearby who were causing bad luck, and immediately waved them away.

The two rolled their eyes and pushed each other away, squatting on a rock, chewing on strawberry-flavored Glow Stick Leek, preparing to regain their strength and watch Kevin's smuggling performance.

After muttering some incantations, the commander placed his hand on the inferior yellow egg. As the eggshell shattered, a finely crafted card floated in mid-air, gleaming brightly.

Magical Girl transformation cards?! What use are those to me?!

Kevin's face darkened, and he placed his hand on the last green egg, refusing to believe it. With hopeful and expectant eyes, the green egg cracked open, and a faint blue light appeared.

"Damn! It dropped! And it's a mutated cyan item! I knew I wasn't Unlucky Player!"

Leon and Chris, who had been watching from a distance, approached in surprise, their eyes filled with curiosity.

This awful game has absolutely no events other than the main quests and the virtual concerts on weekends. The operations team and the System Elf are both incredibly irresponsible...

But recently, they have become increasingly addicted to this toxic game of opening Easter eggs, and have embarked on a difficult journey to illegally cross the Africa continent into European countries.

When the blue light faded, Leon and Chris stared at the... giant green onion floating in mid-air and almost burst out laughing.

5. Offer Leek for the Princess's Rebirth: After returning this item to Hatsune Miku, you can randomly request a song and enjoy a solo performance by the Princess.

You're kidding me, Rem! Are you kidding me?!

Unconsciously, he deeply felt the malice emanating from the system, and he couldn't bear to live like this anymore.

Kevin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. In despair, he threw the green onion on the ground and stomped on it several times to vent his anger.

"Speaking of which, we've already reached level 40, so as usual, we're going to clear the fourth level monster dungeon again?"

After the two jerks who were laughing so hard they almost choked stopped, the commander squatted down with them on the rocks, muttering to himself in a deep sense of dejection.

"Hmm, that seems to be the case..."

"Last time, we opened nearly 30,000 Easter eggs to collect enough for a full set of level 30 December Birthstone..."

"With experience this time, it should be faster; it should be done in half a month at most..."

"As long as everyone works together, even the highest hurdle can be overcome..."

Leon prepared to pat the commander on the shoulder and offer a few words of comfort.

However, he saw the commander rush towards the half-open trial gate as if fleeing for his life, grabbing a green onion stuck in the ground and shouting without looking back.

"No, gentlemen, please spare my life..."

"Don't any of you come any closer, I'm going to farm solo!"

Leon and Chris stared at each other blankly, finally frowning and sighing helplessly.

At the same time, Kevin, who was teleported into the fourth floor, looked at the swarms of level 40 Swamp Lizard around him, and the swordsman behind him who wore a black trench coat, had delicate features that looked like a young girl, and a cold expression.

P. S.: I have some things to do recently, so I estimate I won't be able to update regularly until midnight every night. Please forgive me.

In addition, I have only taken one day off this month (which I have made up for with the update), and I have been updating at a perfect attendance rate, so please rest assured.

Chapter 169, Section 180: Ready to Serve?

Silica has sent you a party invitation...

After Kevin fired two shots to repel a restless Swamp Lizard, an invitation popped up in the notification window in front of him.

As the commander looked back, he noticed a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes, dressed as a swordsman, peeking out from behind the black-clad swordsman and secretly observing them.

On the child's shoulder, a small flying dragon, its body covered in soft, light blue fur and with two large tail feathers instead of a tail, was preening its feathers.

"Hey sir, we only want the Dragon Blood Stone from the Easter egg, the rest is yours, please!"

Hidden behind the black-clad swordsman, Silica pleaded anxiously, even offering generous terms.

After all, this swamp is relatively remote, and apart from the special material Dragon Blood Stone, the quality of the Easter eggs dropped here is generally not high. Unless there is a specific need, few people are willing to come here to farm monsters.

Besides being used to socket weapons, Dragon Blood Stone can also be used to feed dragon pets and help them advance in rank, which is precisely Silica's purpose for this trip.

Her good friend Bina, who accompanies her, is the familiar dragon beside her.

Previously, Silica had gone to great lengths to borrow Black Swordsman, the top Kirito of the somewhat famous "Night's Black Cat Troupe" guild, using a precious piece of information.

The two of them hunted lone Swamp Lizard, but their efficiency was low. It took them two whole days to get five Dragon Blood Stones, which was half short of the required ten.

Seeing that their medicine and food were almost used up, and that they had been there for too long, the two finally decided to take a risky approach.

Using Silica's Beast Tamer skills, she attracts Swamp Lizard, while the Black Swordsman Kirito uses the terrain and his superb swordsmanship to eliminate these unfortunate creatures trapped in the traps one by one.

However, due to careless operation, the two eventually attracted the BOSS Swamp Lizard King and were driven to a dead end.

Unexpectedly, another level 40 player was teleported directly here from the Trial Gate, presumably because he failed to advance through the fourth gate.

Therefore, Silica, in her capacity as captain, decided to temporarily hire this expert who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It's them? A pair of characters who originally appeared in the Sword Art Online game?

Fate is truly a wondrous thing; no matter how many twists and turns there are, they always eventually follow roughly the same path.

Kevin first agreed to join the team, then noticed that outside the shrinking encirclement of the Swamp Lizard, a large lizard with bluish-gold scales, clearly belonging to a wild monster boss, was flicking its tongue.

It was commanding the swarm of lizards in battle with a unique tone, and its serpentine, dark gold vertical pupils exuded an inexplicable sense of majesty and oppression.

Swamp Lizard King (Sub-Dragon Species)

Level: 42

HP: 10000/10000

MP:3000/3000

Skills: Venom Spray, Rock Body Stone Skin, Mud Swamp Vortex, Stun, Summon Elite Subordinates, Petrification Technique, Earth Fang.

"This boss can Summon Elite Subordinates, take it out first!"

Kevin drew his twin pistols, gently kissed the barrels, and chanted the prayer with a devout expression. The bullets were then imbued with a "purifying" effect.

Kevin opened nearly 5,000 easter eggs just to get this one skill book that suited him.

Although the effect was flashy, the incredibly embarrassing poses were absolutely awful.

The black-clad swordsman, with a somewhat indifferent expression, nodded slightly, drew a black longsword from behind him, and took the initiative to stand in front, drawing aggro for the three of them, while Kevin was responsible for dealing damage.

As for Silica, the young girl who was Beast Tamer, she used her interference skills to try to draw out the mental confusion of the nearby Swamp Lizard, thus reducing the burden on the two of them.

"Sonic Impact!"

"Reverse Wheel!"

"Snake Bite!"

"Horizontal Four-Direction Slash!"

"Vertical Four-Direction Slash!"

"Savage Axis!"

"Buzzer Octave!"

The Black Swordsman, with a somewhat cold expression, charged forward, his longsword slicing and thrusting, cleaving and hacking with fluid, swift, simple, and brutal movements.

Then, a series of red characters exploded from the heads of several lizards along the way, and these scattered into specks of light and dust amidst their mournful cries, leaving behind only glittering Easter eggs.

With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed seven skills, causing Kevin's lips to twitch slightly, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

The protagonist of the Dragon Protagonist series is indeed treated differently; unlike the group of jinxes around him, who only know how to bring misfortune to their teammates and themselves.

Although there are three opportunities to learn skills every ten levels, Kevin's skill list only has a pitiful three names so far.

"1. Armor Piercing Bullet: Grants the bullet penetrating properties and has a 10% chance to inflict bleeding damage for 10 seconds, at 50 points per second."

"2. Moment of Shadow Corrosion: Inflicts a corrosive effect on bullets, with a 40% chance to cause negative status effects such as confusion, blindness, sluggishness, and paralysis."
