The Real Level One Helmet

"Tianhe City? How did you end up in Tianhe City?" Du Qiangwei fell silent for a moment, then asked in surprise.

From the background beside Wang Ji on the other side of the video, she could see that he really did seem to be on a street in some Commercial Street, with both sides clearly visible.

What was strange, though, was that some unusual sounds seemed to be coming from the phone: screams, fear, and a continuous clanging.

"I heard there was an angel at Angel Building, so I came to see what she looked like... Hmm..." Wang Ji trailed off suddenly.

On the video, he smacked his lips and blinked.

"Let's talk about my friend's situation first."

Wang Ji pulled the phone camera farther back with his left hand, widening the shot. His full body appeared on screen. He wore a Beach Outfit, and the cool, breezy look made him even more handsome, catching the eye at once.

But the lower half of the image was completely wrong...

He appeared to be riding on the back of a Red-skinned Alligator. The massive alligator was incredibly muscular and fierce, with enormous jaws, sharp teeth, a thick body, and armor plates that looked extremely heavy.

Looking more closely, one could see that the alligator seemed humanoid. It wore crude armor, making it look like some crocodile-shaped monster.

But this alligator was kneeling on the ground, one hand clutching its abdomen and the other braced against the pavement... It was not lying down like an ordinary crocodile, but like a person forced to kneel.

How should she put that posture?

Du Qiangwei understood instantly—it had probably been "knocked."

This was simply...

And Wang Ji was leisurely riding on the alligator's back as if it were a mount. For some reason, he held a black Frying Pan in his hand and repeatedly slammed it against the alligator's head.

Clang, clang, clang~

Clang, clang, clang~

Clang, clang, clang~

"This should be some kind of monster, or maybe a demonic beast? I picked it up off the street just now. If I'd arrived any later, it would've eaten someone."

Wang Ji used the hand holding the Frying Pan to shove the alligator's head around, aiming the phone right at its face. "This guy seems pretty tough. It went down after eating one of my grenades, but I've been hitting it for ages and still can't finish it off.

"My attacks should be doing damage, but this thing has thick skin and a huge health bar. It's also recovering continuously and rapidly, so all I can do is keep it from recovering."

As he spoke, the black Frying Pan in his hand never stopped clanging against the alligator's head. Circles spun in the little eyes of the dazed crocodile, as though it had been beaten senseless.

"My Super Soldier abilities seem to have been exposed, but it exposed itself first, not me."

Wang Ji swept the camera over the distant onlookers, then continued, "I heard that everything captured in the military had to be turned over. Is it the same when us Super Soldiers fight demonic beasts?

"I... honestly, I kind of like this crocodile.

"I want to see whether I can finish it off. If I can, I'll make a pair of crocodile leather shoes.

"If I can't, I want to ride it to school.

"Honestly, I really don't want to take a car anymore.

"Sister Rose, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he blinked, a faintly pleading look on his handsome face.

His eyes were like stars, his face like carved jade. Du Qiangwei was briefly dazzled.

Then she remembered the important matter. Her expression darkened as she hurriedly said, "You... don't worry about turning it in yet. You have to be extremely careful. I don't know how dangerous that monster is, so don't get yourself killed playing around!

"If you can kill it, kill it. Your safety is the most important thing.

"I'll contact Aunt Lian Feng immediately. I'll come support you too!"

She had no idea what that monster was, but she knew Wang Ji understood far too little about these things. He knew nothing at all, and if anything unexpected happened, he could be in danger!

Wang Ji did not seem too concerned. "I don't need support... I just wanted to ask you about the captured loot. Give me a definite answer, I... Hmm?"

As he spoke, he warily raised his head and looked into the distance. Then he quickly said to the video, "Let's talk later. Some more monsters showed up over here. Go ahead and call for support if you need to.

"I'll see whether I can handle them myself first. Bye."

With that, he ended the video call.

This immediately made Du Qiangwei and Jess on the other side of the video frantic with worry. No one knew what exactly was happening with Wang Ji, but that crocodile monster already looked dangerous enough!

And now "some" other monsters had arrived. Who knew whether they were monsters or aliens? How could he possibly defeat them?

"Hello? Hello! Aunt Lian Feng! Aunt Lian Feng! Wang Ji is in an emergency situation!" Du Qiangwei stood up at once, pressing her fingers to her ear as she anxiously headed outside.

She paid no attention at all to the bewildered Ge Xiao Lun beside her.

"I sent the address to your phone. Remember to report in tomorrow morning. I'll arrange everything else for you." Jess did not forget to make arrangements for Ge Xiao Lun.

Then he pointed in Du Qiangwei's direction. "See that? Protecting the people in the city—cool, right? Riding a crocodile monster as a mount—awesome, right?

"Once you get to Super God Academy, you can do that too."

"Ah ha... O-okay." Ge Xiao Lun nodded as though he understood, agreeing with an awkward laugh.

He was excited, worried, tempted, and afraid all at once.

Jess felt that there should not be any problem, so he immediately headed out of the shop as well.

Ge Xiao Lun sat blankly for a long while, all kinds of Avengers movies flashing through his mind. After collecting himself, he stood up...

"Fuck! We haven't paid the bill yet?!"

To be honest, Wang Ji was somewhat disappointed with this Frying Pan.

As one of the strongest pieces of equipment in Chicken Dinner Game, he had always placed great hopes on it. So when he researched his fourth piece of equipment, he directly began designing enhancement attributes for the Frying Pan.

Since his previous identity had given him no access to firearms, his first few pieces of equipment had, aside from the extremely powerful Hand Grenades that guaranteed a knockdown, tried to avoid military gear.

Even now, he did not have a single gun on him. His Hand Grenades had been picked up from fallen soldiers during the battle on Airport Road.

He had not found many—only five in total—and had already used three.

So he had wanted to use the Frying Pan's one-hit headshot damage to finish off the big alligator. But pan strike after pan strike only triggered the stun effect he had added. He simply could not finish it off!

This was fucking unscientific!

A Frying Pan headshot should knock someone down in one hit and kill them in one hit!

Cheap goods really were no good!

Wang Ji snorted coldly. Looking at the eight black dots that had entered his Chicken Dinner domain from four kilometers away, he climbed down from the big alligator.

"We have located Crocodile God Soton. Begin the capture operation immediately."

A deep voice came from the Dark Dimension. Wang Ji frowned, roughly catching and analyzing several pieces of information:

This big alligator was called Crocodile God Soton;

These guys wanted to steal his mount!

Searching the information... Taotie? Then this would be easy!

Hmm?

Wang Ji instantly shifted to the side. A streak of light passed through the spot where his head had just been, then struck the ground with a bang, blasting up a spray of stones!

"A sniper? Heh~"

His eyes narrowed, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. He instantly raced toward a high-rise less than a kilometer away!

One second later

Wang Ji stood behind a humanoid creature clad in heavy black armor, one foot planted on its shoulder, his right hand holding the Frying Pan high overhead.

He swung it viciously at its head!

CLANG!!!

"Oh~ So you're the real Level One Helmet!"
