"Has the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water started leaking? Is the Dark Red Energy Barrier gone? We need to go back and absorb more," Rek said, feeling uncertain about the sudden phenomenon and turning to Alice beside him.
Alice released the Fighting Saint Monkey, which sensed the surroundings before she recalled the Victorious Monkey.
"Quick, get away from here. The pink liquid spewing from that fountain is definitely not the original Energy Flower Sea Pool Water.
The pink liquid is a toxic substance condensed from underground near the Death Flower Sea.
What is being ejected from that fountain is not energy but a deadly poison, so dangerous that even the Fighting Saint Monkey feels threatened by it.
It must be that we destroyed the Six Huge Flower Pods and absorbed a small amount of Energy Flower Sea Pool Water, which disturbed the previously calm energy and caused the hidden toxic liquid underground to surge forth," Alice urged Rek.
Rek immediately accelerated, taking Alice away from the area.
After driving the Hover Motorcycle for over an hour, Leko finally spotted the Fortress and began trying to activate the communicator to contact Maya.
On the other end of the communicator, Maya's somewhat angry voice came through.
"Why have you been silent for so long? You even turned off your location markers."
Hearing Maya's voice, Rek realized that his assumption was correct; those Two-Headed Wolves and Alien Species had not killed Maya.
"We're nearing the Academy Fortress now. Are you alright, Maya?" Rek asked.
"Wait for me there; I'll be back soon," Maya replied.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Rek and Alice saw a Hover Motorcycle approaching them.
Maya parked the Hover Motorcycle.
Rek noticed that Maya's combat suit was in tatters, and it seemed she was undergoing Genetic Mecha Armor transformation.
Rek observed closely; although Maya's Genetic Mech was covered in blood and sand, there were no deep cracks on it, indicating that Maya likely hadn't sustained any serious injuries.
"Teacher! I was so worried about you. I'm so glad to see you're okay," Golden-Haired Alice said as she jumped down from the passenger seat of the Hover Motorcycle and rushed into Maya's arms.
Maya found it hard to dodge. The reprimands she had prepared for the two before coming now felt inappropriate as she looked at Alice crying in her embrace.
"Did you really kill all the Two-Headed Wolves?" Rek asked, somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, although Maya was powerful, facing more than ten Two-Headed Wolves, an Alien Species, should not have been so easily resolved without suffering significant injuries.
"I knew something was wrong when I saw you rush into the Two-Headed Wolves' territory, so I called for help from the Super Soldier Academy.
I fought against the Two-Headed Wolves for about half an hour. Fortunately, a teacher from the Super Soldier Academy's Sophomore Special Class was nearby with five of his students on a mission. They received my distress signal and came to help me deal with the more than ten Two-Headed Wolves," Maya said calmly.
Rek felt that although Maya spoke lightly of it, she had held out for over half an hour before the Sophomore Special Class teacher arrived to rescue her, which must have been quite dangerous.
"What about those from the Sophomore Special Class? Why didn't they come back with you? Did they go on another mission?" Rek asked curiously.
"They were supposed to come back together. However, halfway back, we suddenly spotted a pink fountain in the distance.
That Sophomore Special Class teacher took his five students to investigate the fountain. Just as you activated the communication device to contact me, I decided to return first and didn’t follow them," Maya explained.
Rek and Alice silently breathed a sigh of relief; if Maya had gone with them, she might have perished at that poisonous fountain.
Now, the teachers of the Sophomore Special Class and the five students are likely in grave danger.
"Today's patrol mission has encountered this unexpected situation, so we can only end it early. Of course, I bear some responsibility as well.
Your scores for this mission won't be too low, but don't expect high marks either.
Are we waiting here for the six members of the Sophomore Special Class to finish investigating the fountain before returning to the Super Soldier Academy Fortress, or should we head back to the Fortress first?" Maya asked Alice and Rek beside her.
"Let's go back," Rek replied.
"Return immediately," Alice added.
Both Rek and Alice knew that waiting for those six members of the Special Class would likely be in vain.
Even if they did wait, those six would have been infected by the highly toxic liquid. If they did arrive, that would be truly dangerous!
"Alright, let's activate the Hover Motorcycles. Alice, Rek, next time we execute a mission in Dark Space, you mustn't act recklessly like this again.
This time I was here to save you, but if you undertake a mission alone without me next time, you might end up dead in Dark Space. Life only comes once," Maya said seriously to Rek and Alice.
"Yes!"
"Understood, Master Muya," Rek and Alice responded.
The two Hover Motorcycles entered the moving passage of the Super Soldier Academy Fortress's First District Training Ground once more.
The two Hover Motorcycles stopped inside the passage, and the three walked into the Isolation Scanning Room within the Metal Passage. After undergoing scanning and disinfection,
the green Health Indicator Light in the isolation scanning room lit up.
Maya, Rek, and Alice were released and allowed to return to the academy.
"After we go back, write a report on this mission. It doesn't need to be too long; just keep it brief and submit it to me tomorrow morning during class," Maya said to Rek and Alice.
After Rek and Alice nodded in agreement, Maya left.
Alice was about to head towards the dormitory when Rek called out to her.
"Alice, isn't it time for you to fulfill what you promised me earlier? I've already taken you into the Death Flower Sea, and your Victorious Monkey has absorbed quite a bit of energy," Rek said to Alice beside him.
Golden-Haired Alice smiled at Rek and replied, "Don't worry. I was planning to tell you slowly when I got back to the dormitory, but since you asked now, I'll share with you how to reduce the occurrence of tasks from the War God System.
This method is something I've summarized from my previous cycles. As the Host of the War God System, it not only issues mandatory tasks within a specified time but also randomly releases some side tasks. This method can only reduce the frequency of random tasks.
According to my statistics, the occurrence of random tasks is proportional to the amount of energy absorbed by the War God System. In other words, the more energy you find for the War God System to absorb for recovery, the more random tasks it will issue to you."
After hearing this, Rek immediately responded, "So this time, I've absorbed some liquid from the Energy Flower Sea Pool. That means the number of random tasks issued by the War God System will increase again. I will have to undertake more War God System tasks!
No way, this answer doesn't help me at all. If I don't find energy for the War God System to absorb, my progress in becoming stronger will slow down significantly."
War God System absorbs energy and distributes it to me as Reward or something similar, allowing me to become powerful either directly or indirectly.
If I reduce the opportunities for the War God System to seek energy, my strength will also grow very slowly. Your answer is simply not equivalent to the reward I provided you this time," Rek said angrily after hearing this.
Golden-Haired Alice smiled and replied, "Don't be impatient; I haven't finished yet. You should continue as before, seeking energy for the War God System to absorb.
What I’m about to tell you is the key.
This is something I discovered by chance during a few later possessions by the War God System, and it has been verified as a feasible plan.
In fact, every Host of the War God System has a hidden Reward, which is the ability to collect Servants.
In reality, if someone verbally expresses their willingness to be your Servant, you can activate this hidden Servant function of the War God System, choosing whether to accept that person as your Servant, who will become a future warrior's Servant.
It doesn't matter if the person speaking truly wishes to serve; as long as they say they want to be your Servant, that's enough.
Once you accept a Servant, the War God System will activate a hidden feature.
In the previous Infinite Loop Task World you executed, a world will randomly open up that allows Servants to enter. In this Infinite Loop Task World, you can train your Servants.
Actually, every time the War God System opens an Infinite Loop task world, it consumes energy for both you and your Servants.
As long as you accept a Servant, placing them into the Infinite Loop Task World for training will consume the energy reserves of the War God System.
As for how long training is needed and how many times it should occur, you can decide based on the amount of energy you provide for the War God System to absorb.
If the energy reserves of the War God System decrease, correspondingly, the number of random tasks issued to you will also decrease," Alice explained to Rek.
Upon hearing this, Rek's eyes lit up. The War God System could allow him to collect Servants, and then he could place those Servants into the Infinite Loop Task World to consume the energy reserves of the War God System, thereby reducing the frequency of random tasks appearing.
This method is truly good news for him.
Rek thought for a moment about the Infinite Loop missions he was currently undergoing. One of them was the Biohazard Infinite Loop World, and another was the Tower of Desire. He had already rewarded himself with the Tower of Desire, so the subsequent loop missions for the Tower of Desire were likely canceled.
That left only the Biohazard Infinite Loop World mission. Rek considered that while the Biohazard World was dangerous, it could be an Infinite Loop, making it an excellent training ground for his subordinates.
"Alright, I understand. I'll test your answer. By the way, Alice, do you want to return to the embrace of the War God System and experience the Infinite Loop world there? It can help you become stronger quickly.
If you're interested, I can prioritize giving you a Servant slot. You just need to say that you're willing to be my Servant," Rek said, trying to persuade Alice in front of him.
Golden-Haired Alice quickly stepped back upon hearing this.
"Come on, Rek. I barely escaped from that terrifying and troublesome System. I don't want to go back.
Don't put me in that position again; try someone else instead. Also, when you choose a Servant, it's best to pick someone strong. The War God System is meant to make you a future war god, and a Servant under a future war god shouldn't be too weak; otherwise, it will drag you down.
And when selecting a Servant, it's better not to choose someone who always has fantasies in their mind. Pick someone who only wants to fight and doesn't consider other matters; that's my advice for you. The rest you'll have to figure out on your own," Alice said to Rek before turning to leave.
Rek reflected on Alice's words and glanced at the Tower of Desire, where the War God System was isolating and slowly absorbing numerous Energy Flower Sea Pool Waters. He felt a bit of a headache.
"It seems I really need to choose someone stronger—at least someone with a strong spirit who is willing to say they want to be my Servant. I can't pick someone weak; with so much energy needing to be consumed, a weak person would probably be tortured to death in the Infinite Loop world," Rek said with a wry smile, realizing for the first time that having too much energy could also be a dangerous thing.

Rek looked at his Wrist Communicator and found a message left by the Moon Goddess.
"Come by the infirmary when you have time; I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing the message, Rek understood that the Moon Goddess was looking for him and likely had something she couldn't communicate through the Wrist Communicator or had encountered some trouble.
Rek quickly walked to the entrance of the infirmary building and sent a message to Moon Goddess, informing her that he had arrived outside.
"Rek, come to the luxury ward we stayed in last night. There's been a bit of trouble," Moon Goddess replied with another message.
Rek returned to the luxury ward they had previously occupied, pushed open the door, and found only Moon Goddess sitting on the bed by the window. Orland, who had been receiving treatment, was nowhere to be seen.
"Did you get caught? It's fine; I anticipated this might happen. Orland shouldn't openly expose us," Rek said, not too surprised.
"Yes, I got caught. The old psychiatrist in the infirmary discovered it and reported it to Doctor Mie. Fortunately, Doctor Mie is my mentor and managed to keep this under wraps.
Orland has been transferred to another independent luxury ward for treatment.
You can't harm him anymore while he's being treated," Moon Goddess told Rek.
"My mentor Doctor Mie didn't punish me this time, but she did say that it's nonsense; the infirmary is a place for saving lives. Given the circumstances, there can't be any more excessive actions; otherwise, she won't protect me," Moon Goddess explained to Rek.
"Don't worry about it. You should believe that your future medical achievements will definitely surpass those of Doctor Mie. Your future is something even Doctor Mie will look up to but won't be able to reach. Since Doctor Mie has already intervened in this matter, I won't go after Orland anymore; he's lucky this time," Rek said to Moon Goddess, realizing he couldn't pursue Orland further without dragging her down as well.
