Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 575 - 386: Rest and Preparation (2)

"Boss, your complexion looks much better than just now!"

At this moment, within the lower-level passage of the Black Tower, the short, chubby middle-aged man among the five saw Zhong Wei consume the remaining Eden Fruits. Soon after, he noticed that this powerful superpowered individual, who was in a severe state earlier, recovered rapidly, as if the lost blood was replenished by more than half.

"Yes, this fruit is very peculiar. It has excellent healing effects and can replenish stamina. I’ve specially kept the seeds for future research. I believe with our organization’s biotechnology, we can cultivate and popularize it."

Still wearing a blood-stained lab coat, the indigenous youth Zhong Wei raised his hand to show the few Eden Fruit seeds he had deliberately kept.

The seeds of this fruit were extremely small. If one wasn’t intentional, they could be swallowed entirely without issue.

"Boss, what should we do next? Are we going to stay here for many more days?"

The red-haired superpowered woman interjected at this moment, looking at the explosions outside that hadn’t ceased, feeling a bit hopeless about the future.

But Zhong Wei immediately smiled and shook his head, confidently replying:

"Don’t worry! No need to wait that long! With my current state, just another half-day’s rest, and once my powers return to normal levels, I’ll lead you out and crush those two old bastards into mince!"

While saying this, a trace of undisguised hatred flashed in his eyes again, making it clear he was furious about the previous betrayal and was ready to launch a thunderous strike once he recovered.

The oldest man among them, the short and chubby middle-aged man, felt a bit uneasy seeing this, as he thought that their powerful young leader might be blinded by rage. He immediately reminded:

"Boss, our superpowered division has always had friction with the departments of those two leaders. But them taking advantage of your injury to strike is indeed a serious betrayal. However, we should remain calm. Those two control a mecha and monster battalion, and their strength is not to be underestimated...

Especially since they’ll surely realize we weren’t killed. If we directly attack back, they’ll definitely take targeted measures, like overwhelming us with mechas and monsters while evacuating important figures to hidden bases..."

The chubby middle-aged man pointed out the fact that revenge wouldn’t be straightforward, emphasizing that even though their leader Zhong Wei was extremely powerful, he couldn’t just steamroll through it. It’s possible that others had already hid in secret locations, strategizing how to counter their next move, making it difficult for them every step of the way once they were out.

"Hmm... you’re right... I might have gotten a little carried away with anger... But no matter what, once I’ve recovered, we must get out there and take revenge, regardless of the obstacles!"

Zhong Wei thoughtfully considered the subordinate’s opinion, admitting he made sense. However, as an S-rank superpowered individual, and a dual-powered one at that, he didn’t believe those two old folks could do much against him, especially since there’s only ever been one person in the world, inside the Black Tower, whom he couldn’t contend with.

"Remember, we’re not alone. We have allies! Those two old guys have severely offended the owner of this tower. With him by our side, we’ll surely win!"

He continued to emphasize what the subordinates had yet to grasp, making them again feel the weight of a certain mysterious figure in his mind.

However, this wasn’t the subordinates’ fault. Mainly, they had never faced Wang Zhifan directly, nor had much contact, thus didn’t understand him fully.

"Alright... we trust the boss’s judgment...

That person owning such a miraculous tower, as long as he’s willing to help, we’ll indeed have a huge advantage...

And this advantage will be relatively unfamiliar to our enemies, making it difficult for them to prepare targeted responses..."

Seeing Zhong Wei extolling someone’s strength again, the chubby middle-aged man began to automatically go along with him.

He indeed didn’t know much about the owner of the Black Tower, but it was evident that their boss had lost to him. Therefore, someone stronger than their overwhelmingly powerful leader was indeed worthy of anticipation. From this perspective, this ally held great value, causing him to admire their boss’s ability to turn foes into friends.

The conversation among these indigenous individuals continued, with Wang Zhifan, located on the top floor of the Black Tower, taking note of part of it and feeling a bit speechless.

"Well then, are these guys planning to use me to aid them in their internal struggles? Speaking of which, I’m indeed considered their enemy, after all, I’m a player, an outsider as they call it, yet now I’m on their side..."

Reflecting on the course of events, Wang Zhifan realized there were many coincidences involved.

For instance, he didn’t deal a fatal blow to Zhong Wei, leaving room for negotiation and allowing him to survive, although he actually wanted him to go back and lead to more clues.

But no one could have predicted that Zhong Wei’s organizational opponents would attack with a nuclear strike, especially as they relentlessly bombarded the Black Tower, making Wang Zhifan feel extremely offended, prompting him to join forces with Zhong Wei to resolve the conflict.

"No matter, the distinction between minor grudges and major hatreds must be clear. For those daring to attack me with nuclear weapons and proceed with neutron bombs and such, I can’t let them continue to live!"

Wang Zhifan decided to honor the verbal agreement earlier, spending some time strategizing against the potential mecha and biological armies, based on the conversation he overheard from Zhong Wei and others.

Actually, from a cautious standpoint, he could maneuver the Black Tower directly to battle, given its legendary item grade. He believed nothing in this world could faze it, as the Black Tower was unparalleled in both defense and offense.

However, given that the dungeon has nearly a month until completion, Wang Zhifan didn’t want to expose the fact that his Black Tower was an item so soon.

He intended to maintain the perception among others that this tower was just a building, a wondrous immovable structure.

This would bring him considerable advantages for long-term survival, leaving the potential final boss of the dungeon utterly dumbfounded upon confronting him.

"Therefore, I should dispatch an avatar to assist them, keeping the true self hidden in the tower unless absolutely necessary, and this avatar must be powerful enough... Looks like the Devil’s Skin Scroll needs to be deployed again."

In his overall planning, Wang Zhifan realized he now heavily relied on the Devil’s Skin, a superior item actively acquired from another player. This item met his needs, allowing him to use many of his abilities without appearing personally, significantly enhancing his Dream Me Avatar’s combat capabilities, making it a super tool for remote operations.

As for the side effects of using the Devil’s Skin, namely the high consumption, it appeared quite manageable for Wang Zhifan.

The reason being his personal attributes were unimaginably high compared to other players, so what would be detrimental consumption for others was mere child’s play for him.

Moreover, he possessed the Overlord title effect, Supreme Blood, Rog necklace, and other items to counter negative states, ensuring that even prolonged use of the Devil’s Skin wouldn’t result in any risks.

Of course, Wang Zhifan wasn’t one to recklessly squander just because he could. He consistently took a necessity-based approach for consumable items, using them only when needed, minimizing their use, with a self-imposed daily safety limit, avoiding any extravagances.

This caution was to maintain his optimal state at all times, preventing his combat effectiveness from being inadvertently diminished by overindulgence, which could impede his ability to manage emergencies.
