Although this suit could withstand 12.7mm BMG rounds—already quite heaven-defying—Wang Zhen still felt it wasn't perfect.

In truth, he could have exchanged for better gear from the Main God using reward points and side-story quests. However, Wang Zhen still had a significant amount of knowledge left to organize and categorize; he didn't yet know exactly where his deficiencies lay. Thus, he chose to wait. Besides, his side-story quest rank wasn't high enough to exchange for anything truly top-tier anyway.

Better to wait. His strength was already quite decent; as long as he didn't act recklessly, the probability of dying was low!

Although, theoretically, vampires of the Alucard lineage were hard to kill, this was the Infinite Space. It was better to play it safe—who knew what kind of bizarre nonsense might suddenly end him?

"Just like a mission I took once. Who could have guessed that the law-abiding gentleman who hadn't had a single traffic violation in twenty years was actually a demonic butcher who murdered and carved up people? If I hadn't habitually carried a powerful anesthetic needle that time, I would have been finished!" Although Wang Zhen was in a great mood, a thought involuntarily bubbled up: What if I just dual-wielded and went on a rampage? If I kill everyone, no one will see me—that's the perfect stealth! But after taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to calm down.

This was a hallucination!

Wang Zhen forced himself to settle his mind and find peace. After a while, he began to organize and categorize that knowledge again. While vast, much of it was fragmented and incomplete, as if torn from random books. He estimated that the truly complete content—the knowledge he deemed useful to himself—only amounted to about one percent.

Regarding this, Wang Zhen could only console himself: when you're getting something for free, why complain about the quality?

When Wang Zhen finished organizing the knowledge, he carefully reviewed the parts useful to him. They were still the same few items, with no additions. This was truly miraculous!

"Getting something for free? Heh..."

"Trying to fleece the Gate of Truth?"

"I really am a simple, honest man," Wang Zhen said gloomily, staring blankly at the sky.

It was no wonder Wang Zhen was complaining. The first time he communicated with the Gate of Truth through a Human Transmutation circle, he gained knowledge of transmutation circles and the ability to perform instant transmutations, which allowed him to soar in the plot worlds. The second time, he increased his efforts to "fleece" it, and due to the rarity of Alucard's blood, the Gate of Truth fed him a massive amount of knowledge, giving him the illusion that he had succeeded.

Now he knew!

Everything he received was what he deeply desired in his heart. As for the rest, while it was still knowledge, it was just as he said—freebies. Did he really expect to scoop up hundreds of kilograms of gold while he was at it?

However, it couldn't be said that this knowledge was useless. If Wang Zhen mastered it, it would still be incredibly formidable.

"Master, do you want the mystical-side data from the Main God? I found some here that don't require high-level side-story quests. Also, I changed my avatar. Do you think it fits your aesthetic?" Selene walked over and said softly.

"Whoa..."

"The 3D community cannot lose Tifa, just as the West cannot lose... Jerusalem!"

"You're amazing! You actually changed into Tifa's look!"

"I didn't even dare to use Tifa's look for you at the start, just for fear of getting beaten up. After all, Tifa is the goddess of the 3D world!" Wang Zhen sprang from his lounge chair to the ground. From head to toe, and back up again, he examined her meticulously. Finally...

Wang Zhen confirmed it: this was Tifa!

A black dress, long black hair, bright, expressive eyes, and a heroic, spirited air!

When sweet, she was Cloud's warm harbor and the gentlest big sister to the orphans.

When fierce, she was a core member of the anti-Shinra organization Avalanche, smashing heads with iron fists and kicking birds with divine legs. Hojo, Sephiroth—she would beat them all down. She would never hide behind others shouting for help; she was the combat powerhouse charging at the front!

Tifa had the standard angelic face and devilish figure: willow-leaf brows, almond eyes, a melon-seed face, a delicate nose, thin lips, hair like a waterfall, a well-proportioned physique, and a hot figure. When her eyes were stern, they were as cold as autumn frost and winter snow; when slightly narrowed, they rippled like spring water under the moon.

"I think you should stay further away from me! At this distance, I could report you for being a train molester!" Tifa (people change like blades, and changing to Tifa naturally meant changing the name) looked at the Wang Zhen before her and said impatiently.

"My apologies! After all, I've only ever seen pictures, or at most, cosplayers with less than thirty percent accuracy! None were like you, with one hundred percent accuracy! Naturally, I had to observe up close," Wang Zhen stepped back a few paces and apologized.

Wang Zhen was truly excited!

Based on his observations, this wasn't some cosplay; the Main God had reshaped and remodeled her based on Tifa's data!

Therefore, this was Tifa!

"Please give me another 1,000 reward points in credit!"

Hearing Tifa's request, Wang Zhen didn't even ask why; he immediately gave her 2,000 reward points!

Don't get the wrong idea!

This was for Tifa to exchange for raw materials from the Main God's database!

"Wang Zhen, among the data this time, there are a few items I've marked. You should take a close look."

"World of Warcraft enchanting, jewelcrafting, inscription, alchemy? Diablo 2 runewords?" Wang Zhen fell into deep thought as he looked at the items marked as priorities.

The technical systems Tifa suggested were indeed the most widely applicable and had quite high potential. Wang Zhen was tempted, but upon seeing the exchange prices, he immediately cooled down!

World of Warcraft Enchanting: 1 B-rank side-story quest, 5,000 reward points.

World of Warcraft Jewelcrafting: 1 B-rank side-story quest, 5,000 reward points.

World of Warcraft Alchemy: 1 B-rank side-story quest, 5,000 reward points.

World of Warcraft Inscription: 1 B-rank side-story quest, 5,000 reward points.

Diablo 2 Runewords: 1 A-rank side-story quest, 8,000 reward points.

Wang Zhen had to admit they weren't expensive, as these technologies were incredibly practical! But his pockets were too shallow; he couldn't afford to learn any of them. Now, he could only pin his hopes on the Golden Blind Box!

After all, he had previously strongly requested to enhance his body, and then Alucard's blood had appeared in the Golden Blind Box.

If he strongly requested these technologies this time, could he get them? Wang Zhen thought, his mind wandering into fantasy.

It was just like the man who found a dead rabbit by a tree stump, went home, and stewed a delicious pot of rabbit meat. The next day, he went back to squat by that same stump, waiting for a second rabbit to obediently crash into it and die—and it would be even better if it tied itself up before dying!

He had even planned out how to cook that rabbit...
