228: Chapter 209 USB Flash Drive 228: Chapter 209 USB Flash Drive The last vestiges of ti turbulence contained within the right-hand conduit dissipated into the wind.
Li Cheng stood in place, his hand still clenched into a fist, with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
Gray Rain hesitated for a few seconds before turning her head to ask, “Did he just ntion ‘Side of Truth’?”
Li Cheng swallowed, “No.”
“But that’s what I heard.”
Gray Rain reached out and unbuttoned the top button of Li Cheng’s shirt, which was actually a GoPro cara with recording capabilities.
At the push of a button, the voice of the bandaged man imdiately ca out.
“Na?
I haven’t thought about it yet.
How about ‘Side of Truth’?”
After hearing this sentence again, Li Cheng raised his palm to push back his bangs, his expression wearing a mask of agony.
At this mont, he suddenly realized that from beginning to end, this mission had been filled with foreshadowing.
The mission was nad “Electric Energy Retrospection”: electricity refers to the Task Battery, and retrospection refers to the Retrospection Room;
The bandaged man claid to be from over four years ago, a ti point that coincides with the opening of the killing field;
Previously, the bismuth-yellow recording pen ntioned only that the rcury Alloy Guild once sought help from the president of the Evil Science Alliance, without disclosing the president’s na, and in the dialogue between Li Cheng, Zhao Zijing, and the others, the words “Side of Truth” were never ntioned;
Furthermore, the reason the rcury Alloy Guild sought out the Retrospection Room a year ago was also upon the suggestion of the Side of Truth…
The whole incident was intricately linked, with every detail ticulously connected, becoming increasingly complex the more he thought about it.
The president of the rcury Alloy Guild, a Lv30 Transcendent nad Mithril, remained unaware of the truth until his death—he didn’t even realize that he was rely a pawn in the chess ga.
[You have a new friend request from Summoner: Side of Truth]
The system notification sound rang out tily, Li Cheng swallowed, took a deep breath, and with complex emotions, accepted the friend request.
“Ding Dong.”
A new character avatar popped up in the friends list—cloaked in yellow, his face hidden in the shadow of a hood.
The other party sent a ssage proactively.
Side of Truth: Long ti no see.
Ant: …Long ti no see.
Side of Truth: I know you have many questions, shall we chat?
In six hours, at the headquarters of the Demon Scientist Alliance on Rotten Street, my secretary will et you.
Ant: …Alright.
The communication ended there, and Li Cheng, exchanging glances with Gray Rain, exited the killing field with a hint of frustration and returned to reality.
At the sa ti, in the Unknown Land.
The hooded, yellow-clad being known as the Side of Truth looked at the text in the chat window and let out a nostalgic chuckle.
Amidst the grand and vast canyon buffeted by the wind, the bodies of thousands upon thousands of Fla Demons lay piled up.
These Fla Demons stood at heights of thirty ters, fifty ters, and over a hundred ters, with wings on their backs, their bodies enshrouded in flas.
Most were bare-chested, wielding fla whips and axes in their hands.
A few wore heavy tal armor, holding scepters and longswords in their grasp.
Not a single Fla Demon survived.
The magma seeping from their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears converged into streams of lava, flowing quietly along the canyon.
The Side of Truth, who had personally slaughtered an entire Fla Demon Kingdom, showed no sign of emotional fluctuation, simply snapping his fingers nonchalantly, summoning sparkles of starlight to store all the corpses within his own Half-plane.
Then, with a swipe of his hand through the air, he opened a Dinsion Gate, stepped into it, and disappeared from sight.
———
Back in the familiar living room of his own ho.
Li Cheng glanced at the clock on the wall; it had been a day and a half since he entered the mission.
Luckily, it was the weekend for the next two days, so there was no need to attend school.
“I’m off to rest.” Gray Rain stretched and, humming a tune she made up, headed back to her bedroom to lie in bed and scroll through her phone—
Since she was overweight, Li Cheng had specially found a shop in the rundown streets to order a super sturdy bed made with steel springs.
To prevent it from collapsing and being damaged, he also specifically bought a large number of spring parts for replacent at any ti.
[Reward Settlent in Progress]
[Player Overall Performance: S , Ga Coin and Experience Points gained increased to 160%]
[Mission Reward 1: 1300 Experience Points]

If the previous Baekje Black Sky was like opening a small vault, then this “Electric Energy Retrospection” mission was comparable to robbing a bank.
With a 1.6 multiplier coefficient, Li Cheng gained a whopping 2080 Experience Points in one go, rising from the original Lv12, with an Experience Bar at 560/1200,
to two levels up, reaching Lv14 with an Experience Bar at 140/1400.
His Ga Coin balance also went from 1053 to 4253.

As a result, after ti reversion, the consud Micro Life Potion returned and now he even gained a new one.
[Mission Reward 3: Random Item*2, Quality depends on clearance evaluation]
[Mission Reward 4: Random Skill Scroll*1, Quality depends on clearance evaluation]
It’s ti for an unboxing, and it’s a triple unboxing at that.
Li Cheng rubs his hands and whispers, “Open!”
Three beams of light flashed by, and the first thing to co out was…
a USB?
[Item Na: Skill Mobile USB]
[Type: Portable Prop]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Special Effect: Copy and Paste.
The user can copy one of their own skills into the USB, which will consu the sa as if using the skill normally.
After the copy is complete, any individual can use the skill via the USB without any consumption.]
[Cooling Ti: 24 hours]
[Use Conditions: None]
[Current Copied Skill: None]
[Note: This item must be bound to its owner.
Once bound, it cannot be transferred, only dropped upon death.]
[Note: Bored at ho?
Why not pick up a part-ti job, copy and paste this sentence, beco a repeater, every ti earning 0 yuan, your friends are all doing it]
Uh…
Li Cheng’s expression was quite sothing; it was actually a Perfect Quality prop!
And unlike the particularly abstract props like Assembly Puppets, the “Skill Mobile USB” had clear and straightforward effects that were easy to see.
“Copying causes consumption, but it is not marked how long a skill can be preserved in the USB without becoming invalid.
aning, the skill can be saved indefinitely.”
“Not only can it be transferred to others, but more importantly, it can be used by myself!
First, I cast a skill normally, plug in the USB, then cast it again.
It’s basically bypassing the killing field’s cooldown ti restriction for individual skills…”
Li Cheng’s thoughts raced, and in the blink of an eye, he thought of several ways to use it.
For example, lend the skill out to make money;
In a short period of ti, use a big move twice in a row;
Learn a skill with strong side effects (such as self-destruct), don’t use it yourself, but transfer it to Summoning Technique: Thousand Paper Cranes to be cast on your behalf;
“Kicking off with a Perfect item, could it be that fortune has co my way?”
Li Cheng muttered to himself, storing the USB in the Backpack, and turned his attention to the next item, “Why is it a pair of glasses?”
