Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: The Actions of All Parties, The Art of Smuggling

In just an instant, the zombies in the entire city were cleared out by Zhongli. The once-roaring cacophony fell into eerie silence, turning the city into an empty shell.

"Damn, that visual effect is insane," muttered Tsukasa Kadoya, dressed in a flamboyant pink-lined suit, watching Zhongli's display of power from a corner. Stunned, he decided to share this spectacle with everyone. However, after glancing at the photos he'd taken, he frowned.

Well… it was his usual standard (wry smile).

Forget it, he'd just upload the file directly.

Shaking his head, Tsukasa Kadoya edited the memory in his mind, renamed it, and uploaded it to the chat group.

Meanwhile, in the chat group:

After watching the file Tsukasa Kadoya had uploaded—titled The Art of Combat—the group was buzzing with excitement.

Dragon King Sprays Water: Wow, so cool!

Don't Bully the Poor Youth: Freaking amazing!!! (voice cracking)

No-Shamelessness: Holy crap, is this the might of one of the victors of the Archon War, the Warrior God Morax?

Skybase King: Not bad, quite the spectacle.

Skybase King: But this level of control over power is truly worth learning.

Skybase King: Also, is that the Authority? It's… terrifying.

Vermilion Bird Adeptus: Mr. Zhongli's control over power is indeed unparalleled. I'd love to discuss it with him sometime.

Camera Princess: So impressive! And that grand vow—if Mr. Zhongli came to our world, the Amber Lord would definitely notice him and make him an Emanator of Preservation.

Truth-Seeker: Absolutely. Zhongli's vow of preservation would surely attract the Amber Lord's gaze. But Tsukasa Kadoya, why are you there?

Passerby: Huh? Me? I originally wanted to ask Mr. Zhongli for advice on spatial abilities. With his 6,000 years of experience, he could definitely give me some insights.

Passerby: But who knew I'd stumble upon such a thrilling scene the moment I arrived?

Passerby: Gotta say, as expected of the Geo Archon. This level of power is truly "terrifying."

Passerby: "Terrifying" (Xiao Yan's shocked face).

Don't Bully the Poor Youth: …

While the group chat was lively, everyone in the real world was also busy.

Europe:

Fu Hua, the Vermilion Bird Adeptus, unleashed her Tai Xuan Sword Qi, which rained down like a storm, forming a river of sword energy that swept up and annihilated the surrounding zombies. Cheng Lixue, content to be Fu Hua's "accessory," collected rare resources while rescuing survivors.

Australia:

Rimuru released his subordinates from his stomach and let them roam freely to gather resources. Meanwhile, he transformed into a ravenous Slime, devouring everything in his path—leaving nothing behind. All collected resources were stored in his stomach for future use.

South America:

From the storage space Fu Hua had provided, Theresa pulled out an Anti-Entropy battleship and deployed the Valkyries assigned by Otto to collect resources.

The resources in this world were plentiful, and the materials needed for the natural Stigmata technology Wu Tong had provided weren't particularly rare. Thus, Theresa and her team could gather them freely.

Additionally, Theresa scouted talents from all walks of life—scientists, prodigies, architects, weapons designers—all now under her wing. This was her chance to close the gap with the three major factions, as none of these people could be spies.

Africa:

Murata Himeko, also equipped with Fu Hua's storage gear, deployed the Hyperion and, with Anti-Entropy's mining robots, began collecting resources.

Gold, silver, steel, aluminum, oil, gas—everything was extracted and loaded onto the Hyperion. Inside, Himeko sipped her wine, grinning as she watched the resources pile up.

North America:

Ling Ying, sent here as a third wheel, focused solely on gathering resources. Following Xiao Yan's advice, she ignored the survivors and collected unique items—things not found in the Dou Qi Continent—to report back to Gu Yuan.

Back at the Origin: Murozono City, Japan

Well…

How to put this?

Everyone had their own "unique" understanding of smuggling.

After learning about the methods the three major factions had arranged for Fu Hua and the others, Wu Tong offered his assessment:

"Heh, these were all thought up by Dr. Mei, Otto, and Dr. Einstein. The old fossil wouldn't have the cunning for this," Xiao Shi waved her hand, trying to salvage Fu Hua's image.

No one disagreed.

Fu Hua, the famously straightforward "old fossil," wouldn't have come up with such schemes—at least, not the early Fu Hua. The latter Fu Hua, who'd learned a thing or two about deception, might be a different story.

"Wu Tong, Wu Tong, I'm hungry," Kanna tugged at Wu Tong's coat, pointing at her belly with her other hand, her voice soft and sweet.

"Me too. I'm starving," Gabriel added weakly. "I was just planning to grab some gold and games and leave, but who knew there'd be a cooldown before exiting?"

Her casual remark revealed her true intentions for coming to this world.

Sweatdrop.

They'd thought she was here to help, but…

Really, are you even an angel?

"Huh? Oh! I didn't realize how late it was," Wu Tong exclaimed, noticing the dimming sky.

"Let's take a break, eat something, and recharge."

With a wave, he created a clean space, shielding it from dust and filth, then conjured tables and chairs for everyone.

Next, he spread out the Gourmet Tablecloth and summoned a dimensional portal to bring back all the scattered group members for a feast.

No one held back, diving into the buffet with gusto.
