Wu Chang nodded, saying, "Understood. I have no objections to entering the Divine Temple you mentioned, but before that, shouldn't we talk about something else first?"

"Something else? What could be more important than this?" He Yun was puzzled.

Wu Chang rubbed his hands together and displayed a customer service smile, "Of course there is, like, the reward."

He Yun asked in confusion, "Aren't we friends?"

"Oh, come on, even close brothers settle accounts clearly." Wu Chang said with a smile, "You can't expect me to help just because of your good looks and figure, right?"

He didn't charge for saving Fang Hui because the money he spent on dining out over the past four years had already been covered in advance.

He Yun looked at Wu Chang, speechless for a moment. Having stayed in Shelter 88 for so long, with abundant energy and resources combined with the long-term role-playing, people's primary motivation was often to satisfy their desires in the Spiritual World.

Fighting for their lives, being reckless, and helping others all stem from this.

Even receiving remuneration after work was a necessary procedure to satisfy inner achievement, given that the resources produced by the Underground Shelter were ample for everyone to enjoy.

She really couldn't think of any suitable reward to offer at the moment.

He Yun pressed her temples, recalling some trades the bartender had once asked her to take over.

"I am the strongest Mecha Maker in the Underground Shelter, maybe I can customize a set of mecha for you or modify a tech-based weapon. How about this as your reward?"

Prior, at the Broken Bottle Bar while watching mecha fist fights, Wu Chang had been envious of the Underground Shelter's mecha. He thought the best He Yun could offer was a standard mecha set, but she unexpectedly offered a custom mecha, and she was the strongest Mecha Maker in the Underground Shelter.

This really was a good deal.

He immediately said, "Deal!"

Seeing Wu Chang agree to help out, He Yun no longer felt like continuing the repairs and immediately dragged Wu Chang away to devise a plan to seal the Underground Divine Hall.

As the two left the power station, while He Yun was still dismantling the mecha for repair, they suddenly noticed a figure appear at the entrance of the power station.

The moment the figure appeared, Wu Chang's Inspiration went off, frantically signaling him to be cautious.

The newcomer was a man wearing a leather jacket and a motorcycle helmet. Although he held no weapons or items, he exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Clearly, the man was a player, and he wasn't there with good intentions.

Recollecting last night's Surgical Knife from the arena, the helmeted man in front was likely after He Yun too, but his rank was far superior to that of the Surgical Knife.

Despite Surgical Knife's strong power, it wasn't overly significant to players of the Desolate Realm. Even an Abyss Second Layer player like him was only a recent entry-level participant.

But the helmeted man in front was different; from his poised demeanor, it was clear that he was an extremely seasoned player in the Abyss Second Layer.

The bad news was that the helmeted man was very strong, surpassing the Desolate Realm Plane barrier's maximum capacity, and was at least ten levels higher than the top players in the Desolate Realm.

The good news was that the helmeted man hadn't yet achieved Divinity, unlike the guy who had made a pact with Lei Hu and nearly killed him with a strike from a distance.

He's strong, but not overwhelmingly so.

Wu Chang excitedly cracked his knuckles, pondering whether he could stand a chance against an Abyss Second Layer player.

The helmeted man's arrival soon caught the attention of the gatekeeper. Though the old gatekeeper appeared nonchalant, he was an experienced veteran, sensing hostility from afar.

The gatekeeper donned his combat mecha, gripping a massive-caliber machine gun, and quickly headed to the watchtower of the power station, aiming his weapon at the helmeted man and shouting;

"You're not welcome here, outsider! Leave now while you still can!"

The gatekeeper's shout caught He Yun's attention. She hastily dismantled the repair mecha and, without having time to put it back, ran out swiftly.

"What's happening?"

Wu Chang said, "An outsider is approaching. No surprise, it's likely a partner of the Surgical Knife from last night."

The helmeted man was confident in his power, ignoring the gatekeeper's shout and continued walking towards the power station.

The gatekeeper wasn't one to be toyed with; he squeezed the trigger without hesitation, firing massive-caliber bullets like raindrops, turning his gunfire into something akin to artillery fire.

The battle mecha-clad gatekeeper unleashed more firepower than any Secret Ceremony Master aboard the Star Jump could. If the Secret Ceremony Master had this kind of firepower, the Blood Wolf would have been shredded by fire on their first encounter.

Yet, despite such overwhelming firepower, it couldn't harm the helmeted man in the slightest.

The helmeted man appeared to stroll leisurely amidst the barrage. In truth, he was moving at extreme speeds, dodging successive rounds of fire each time, pausing deliberately with movements resembling his previous evasions.

His rapid flickering and pausing, like flipping through a series of connected images, allowed observers to string together his leaping movements into a cohesive sequence, creating the illusion of a casual stroll when, in reality, he was skillfully evading fire.

Undoubtedly, this was a display of skill.

The helmeted man used this method to declare to everyone present the level gap between them, signaling them not to engage in futile resistance.

In full view, within only three steps, the helmeted man advanced from a hundred meters away to the doorstep of the power plant.

He then swung a powerful punch, sending the heavy electric door flying.
