A trade-off, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mission Reward 2: 600 Game Currency】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the 155% multiplier, these two rewards became 620 experience points and 930 game currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level rose from 4 to 5; the experience bar shifted from 20\u002F400 to 240\u002F500. Game currency also surpassed a thousand, reaching 1790.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could now afford to buy a house in Yin City outright. Congratulations, congratulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mission Reward 3: Random Item ×2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Li Cheng didn’t rush to open the boxes. Instead, he removed his forearm guards and entered the Bone Corridor, examining the three items he’d brought out of the bunker under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was naturally the Marceau Maze Box, the device capable of summoning Hell Cultivators—also classified by the system as a Daoju .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item Name: Marceau Hell Maze Box】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Cursed Object】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Rare】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Soul Hunt. Upon activation, releases two Hell Cultivators who relentlessly pursue the Maze Box’s holder. Current target locked: Pifou.

The same notice was also received by his neighbor, Count Bernadotte.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft. What kind of hellish joke is this? Cause-and-effect settlement, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng’s eyebrow twitched. He had no means to control malevolent spirits; using this item meant inviting two powerful enemies upon himself. He had no intention of sacrificing innocent lives to command the Hell Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Alliance of Demon Scientists would likely be interested in this—probably willing to pay a high price for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thought spun through his mind and was immediately discarded. Given that guild’s moral standards, once they obtained the Maze Box, they’d likely spark another bloodbath in some scenario world, slaughtering countless civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best course of action was still: click Sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng directly sold the Maze Box to the Killing Field Market, earning 450 game currency—he wasn’t a saint, but he had no desire to aid evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second item was the straight-bladed cleaver dropped by the Triangular Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item Name: 170 Straight Blade】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Weapon】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Common】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Attack Power: Medium】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Extremely Durable】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Equip Condition: Strength ≥ 9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: This straight-bladed cleaver once belonged to the Safety System Inspector of the High-Quality Integrated Service Demonstration Zone, Silent Hill Green Ecological Integration Project, Centralia, Pennsylvania.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that lengthy note boiled down to seven words: Town Security Guard, Triangular Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘170’ in the name probably refers to weight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng hefted the cleaver—it weighed roughly 77 kilograms, exactly 170 pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real world, practical cold weapons were surprisingly light: Ming dynasty swords weighed no more than 800g, iron dao with scabbards weighed 1315g, late Qing broad-bladed dao weighed 1500g, and even the heaviest combat weapons (like spears and staffs) rarely exceeded ten kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the 50-jin dao, 60-jin spear, or 80-jin double iron halberds in Ming and Qing novels—ahem—better just look at the distant snow-capped mountains, folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A 77-kilogram cleaver—only barely usable by a player with 9 Strength. But the ‘Extremely Durable’ effect is quite useful; no need to worry about breaking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constantly fighting with the Tangbi Bone Blade made him too recognizable. Li Cheng stowed the cleaver in his backpack slot, planning to keep it for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third item was the perforated stone that had triggered all the tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Item Name: Achilles Toy Factory Key 3】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Anomalous Item】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Common】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: None】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Achilles Toy Factory, a renowned toy company, adheres to the principle of “Bringing Joy to the World,” ensuring quality through technology, earning trust through quality, and promoting growth through trust. It boasts multiple renowned IPs, with products marketed across the multiverse and widely acclaimed.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: This object is one of seven factory keys. Collecting all keys unlocks the Toy Factory within the Killing Field and grants control over it.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Keys naturally attract one another. If a key remains outside the Killing Field for too long, it automatically activates a device within the factory to return to the Killing Field via some means. Keys cannot be destroyed, sold, or transferred. They only drop upon the holder’s death.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Hehehehehe, old lady’s finally free! You think paralyzing me in a wheelchair means I can’t operate? Hah, good riddance to you all. Let me see—what created me? Hmm? A key? What the hell? Gone, gone!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Note: Wheelchair wheelchair wheelchair】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.” Li Cheng stared at the item’s description, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d assumed the stone would behave like a normal supernatural item—with clear effects, like inducing nightmares or spawning monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the monsters weren’t generated by the stone itself—it was merely a key. A key to unlock a hidden facility within the Killing Field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Achilles is the name on the teleport phone booth, right? Looks like a penguin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng mused: “According to forum posts, hidden facilities are special buildings within the Killing Field with specific purposes and powerful effects—like the Forbidden Street, where players can’t attack each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Major guilds regard hidden facilities as their most precious assets, willing to wage war over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I don’t know what kind of place this Toy Factory is or what power it holds, the claim that its products are marketed across the multiverse tells me its effects are formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since this key can’t be destroyed, sold, or transferred—only dropping upon the holder’s death—any ordinary player who finds it is like a man carrying jade in a lawless town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last two notes were likely written by the evil scientist mentioned in the experiment log—the one artificially created. She probably realized how abnormal this thing was, fled immediately after triggering the disaster, and left the key behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, that evil scientist was a woman? Her wheelchair implies she wasn’t Taylor’s daughter in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how did she escape the bunker without the gate opening? Could it be some kind of teleportation tech?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-19T22:31:22.154Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d54652b16879c70facf6d711f2b709ea8eb5a26d2c20efb1d45fe5ed9223d157","player-reboot-chapter-93","player-reboot-chapter-91",612,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplayer-reboot-cover.jpg"]
