"Alright, I've done what you asked me to do. Can you take me out of Nightmare Space now?" the Flame Empress urged.
Li Hong nodded and said, "No problem, we'll leave right away. But you have to promise me one thing: once we get to another world, no chaos."
"Sure."
With the Flame Empress's firm answer, Li Hong finally felt relieved. He was genuinely worried that this woman would cause havoc on Blue Star; if that happened, it would be a real headache.
After all, she was a true artificial intelligence. Without proper restraints, who knew what kind of trouble could arise?
...
After preparing the vessel for the Flame Empress, Li Hong led his three companions, Soulmate included, quietly out of Biohazard World.
Of course, they didn't return to Blue Star. They had merely cut off Nightmare Space's ability to generate resources; it was far from destroying Nightmare Space entirely. To completely obliterate it, they would need to drive out all the Reincarnators that had accumulated within.
With these enhanced Zombies at their disposal, Li Hong and his group no longer needed to stay in Biohazard World. After all, when the Nightmare Deity's faction entered, it always ended in total annihilation.
After leaving Biohazard World, the four did not return to their previous room but instead arrived at an enormous plaza.
In the plaza, various Reincarnators were constantly moving about. Sudden appearances like Li Hong's group were a rare occurrence.
After surveying the surroundings, Li Hong narrowed his eyes and began to explore the plaza with curiosity.
After asking several Reincarnators, Li Hong learned that this plaza served as a communication platform for Reincarnators. Those returning from missions in the Reincarnation World would also appear here.
At the center of the plaza was a large glowing orb, which was referred to as the Nightmare Deity by the Reincarnators.
However, when Li Hong approached for a closer look, he realized it was merely a counterfeit. This Nightmare Deity was nothing more than a customer service robot responsible for exchanges and answering questions. The real Nightmare Deity was certainly not this ridiculous.
"Reincarnator number 666, 555, 999, your Nightmare Points have been settled. Please proceed to the Nightmare Deity for your desired Treasure!"
A faint sound echoed in the ears of the four.
Li Hong's eyes flickered as he wondered what the Nightmare Deity was up to. Logically, with all the commotion they were causing in Nightmare Space, they should have been discovered by now.
Yet, up until this moment, the Nightmare Deity had not noticed them, let alone stopped them.
"Could it be that this guy went out to have some fun?" Li Hong speculated.
He could guess what Nightmare Points were; they were likely a universal currency for exchanging treasures in Nightmare Space. However, he found it strange that he and his three companions had not received any missions from Nightmare Space. So where did these Nightmare Points come from?
Unable to grasp the situation, Li Hong cautiously led the three of them to the large glowing orb in the center of the plaza.
The orb resembled a giant glowing ball, adorned with several operational buttons labeled Query and Exchange.
Li Hong stroked his chin thoughtfully and pressed the Query button.
With a single click, a Light Screen was instantly projected from the orb. On the Light Screen was a full-body projection of Li Hong, alongside his physical data.
In the upper right corner of the Light Screen, a shimmering coin icon was flashing incessantly. The enormous number that appeared after the coin icon was blindingly bright.
"Why is it like this?" Li Hong asked in confusion.
Was there something wrong with this Nightmare Space? On one hand, they had obtained Nightmare Points, while on the other, it displayed just one. Or perhaps it was because they hadn't accepted any missions, causing this large orb to miscalculate and display a bug?
Not willing to take chances, Li Hong called over his three companions behind him, intending to let them try as well.
"Check your Nightmare Points and see if you also have just one."
"Oh!"
Soulmate The three of them checked their Nightmare Points and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
Soul Mix curiously asked, "What does this Nightmare Deity mean? Are you saying that if we cause trouble, they will still give us Nightmare Points?"
Li Hong's eyes flickered as he uncertainly replied, "Let's not worry about that for now. Let's see if we can exchange for something! If we can, then it means this Nightmare Space is indeed malfunctioning. If not, then we can forget about it."
With that, Li Hong pressed the exchange button, and a multitude of items appeared on the Light Screen.
There were various types of Bloodline and skills, as well as powerful Treasure and Divine Weapon. In addition to these magical and martial arts items, the exchange list also included numerous technological products.
Among the impressive items were things like the Annihilation Starship or the Transdimensional Combat Aircraft. On the lower end, there were also Quantum Computer and Super Long-Range Pistol. In short, everything looked incredibly cool. However, the exchange points required were staggering—often in the hundreds of thousands—far beyond what an ordinary Reincarnator could hope for.
Li Hong tried clicking on the exchange option for a time-space pistol, attempting to redeem this Super Weapon, which required fifty thousand points.
The Light Screen trembled, and the points began to flicker continuously. After a moment, a miniature version of a Children's Handgun appeared in Li Hong's hand.
"What the hell? This Nightmare Space is so disappointing! Where's the good Super Weapon? How did it turn into a Children's Handgun?" Li Hong said with a mix of laughter and frustration.
While he was able to make an exchange, he helplessly discovered that most of the high-priced items on the list were just bait—fake goods meant to lure people in. This left him feeling quite disheartened, but thankfully he had already prepared himself mentally. Just by looking at the list, he guessed that if the Nightmare Space had such divine items, it wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
However, Li Hong came up with a new plan. He intended to expose the shameless fraud known as the Nightmare Deity, revealing its true nature to all the Reincarnators in the plaza.
Using a Children's Handgun as a Super Weapon for sale was a scam that needed to be uncovered!
"Seems like Nightmare Points can be traded too?" Li Hong muttered as he quietly approached a nearby Reincarnator who was checking their points.
"Hey brother, need some Nightmare Points?" Li Hong patted him on the shoulder and asked curiously.
"Who are you? Don't bother me! What do I need your help for with my Nightmare Points? Can you even give me any?" The person replied angrily.
Li Hong smirked, a smile that was neither fully genuine nor entirely mocking, and said, "Sure! You can have as many as you want, it's free!"
The person stared blankly for a moment, disbelief washing over him as he asked, "Really? Are you actually giving this to me? Or are you just messing with me?"
Li Hong smiled mysteriously and patted his shoulder. "Just give me your Reincarnation Number, and I'll transfer you One Hundred Thousand Nightmare Points. Then you'll know if I'm serious!"
"dsb—54!"
With a mix of skepticism and hope, the man recited his Reincarnation Number.
Li Hong got to work on the Light Screen. After a while, he successfully transferred One Hundred Thousand Nightmare Points to the Reincarnator.
"This... this..." The man looked at the Query page where his Nightmare Points had skyrocketed, overwhelmed with excitement.
This was a full One Hundred Thousand Nightmare Points! The person in front of him had transferred it without even blinking!
