Chapter 120 Countermeasures and Settlement
In a dark and gloomy virtual conference room.
Upon receiving the urgent report, within just thirty minutes, the three core members of the Countermeasures Bureau—Tianquan, Di, and Renlu—stopped all their work and connected to the virtual conference room via a top-secret line.
The meeting began in absolute silence, starting with a replay of excerpts from the person in charge's report.
When the detailed intelligence flashed by in the encrypted projection, even through the screen, the three knowledgeable top officials of the Countermeasures Bureau felt a chill run down their spines.
"Assess the level," Director Xuan Shu's voice was devoid of emotion, sounding both businesslike and indifferent, "and provide [countermeasures]."
Tianquan spoke first. As someone who was somewhat of a data professional, he understood what the data in the report represented: "Based on the peak energy fluctuations and the self-proclaimed location of the target Kunlun—the conventional disaster and city-destroying framework has completely failed."
Its threatening nature transcends individual destructive power, involving ancient roots beyond our comprehension —
I suggest classifying it directly as a "natural disaster"!
Di Gu added, retrieving summaries from a series of long-forgotten files from the divine machine behind him:
66
Records related to Kunlun are extremely scarce and contradictory, but none of the recorded fragments mention the existence of natural disasters.
The target's public profile (the "Locked Land Vest") shows him as an ordinary citizen, but this identity is clearly a highly sophisticated disguise or cover-up.
All related information was classified as "Natural Disaster" and subjected to contamination cleanup; the physical components were transferred to a black box.
After reviewing the relevant information, the person in charge of implementing the plan also expressed their opinion: "The person in charge's experience is a clear warning! Any form of proactive monitoring or probing may be regarded as spying and may provoke unpredictable retaliation."
If the censor does not provide a detailed prophecy, then I suggest taking the following actions:
First, immediately and unconditionally evacuate all our personnel and equipment within a 100-kilometer radius of the incident site, and establish an absolute silence zone. Second, issue the highest priority instructions to all front-line observation stations and field departments.
"It shouldn't be like this, I think it should be—"
"If possible, it would be best if the supervisor could personally intervene and negotiate."
After an hour of intense discussion, and after connecting several other encrypted signals for further discussion, Xuan Shu finally made the decision: "Unanimously approved!"
-
File code: Kunlun-01, Threat level: [Natural Disaster]
We implemented the highest level of information sealing, established a silent zone, secretly mobilized all ancient books and archaeological research resources, and spared no expense to search for clues about Kunlun and other similar ancient traditions, attempting to establish an early warning model.
Finally, I want to reiterate our internal discipline! The contents of this meeting and the existence of the ancients are permanently restricted to the six of us who are aware of them. Any disclosure will be considered a betrayal of the Great Mystery!
Remember, we are no longer dealing with extraordinary beings in the early stages of the spiritual resurgence; maintain reverence for ancient beings!
The meeting minutes were encrypted with multiple layers of encryption the moment they were generated and sent to a physically isolated storage core. The massive machine of the Countermeasures Bureau began to operate quietly around [Kunlun] in a silent and vigilant manner.
Almost at the same time that the General Administration's secret meeting reached a resolution, Lu Qingfeng, who was strolling back to his residence, paused slightly.
"He reacts quickly and knows how to be fearful, which is good; it saves me a lot of trouble."
However, just in case, Lu Qingfeng still used his mind to communicate with the Kunlun Mountains again to spy on them, and changed the direction of 50% of the satellites that were directed at the Kunlun Mountains. That was enough.
He didn't take this incident to heart. If it weren't for the constant scanning by those lousy satellites in the sky, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't have bothered with such things. Wouldn't it have been better to just quietly run his bookstore?
To him, most of the world's prying and scheming are no different from roadside dust. As long as they don't provoke him or cross the line he has drawn, he can't be bothered with them.
Moreover, compared to the countermeasures bureau's alarmed response, he was more concerned about the dungeon gains he had just acquired. It was all that damned Flame Demon's fault! (P~)
Putting the minor ripples caused by the countermeasures bureau behind him, Lu Qingfeng quickened his pace, traversing the entire Kunlun region in a few strides, and stepping into the ley lines at the edge of the border to return home.
When the permissions were upgraded previously, the Echo of History had already made contact with the Kunlun ley lines, and there was a spatial passage between the two, which made things much easier for him.
Within the echoes of history, Lu Qingfeng opened the integrated network panel, where previously suspended settlement information continued to appear:
[Final settlement for the [Alien] instance is complete]
Total experience points gained: 6,251,795
Total Catastrophe Coin Acquisition: 156,351 (including team rewards and additional settlements)
P.S.: Hey pro, next time please include one of your former teammates in the comments! [Title earned: Godslayer]
Description: This is the most dazzling miracle! Mortals triumph over nature, and the strong slay gods!
Effect: Increases damage against divine units by 10%; reduces damage taken from divine attacks by 5%.
P.S.: I joined the Hunter of Gods team—Legendary Hunter Balapra (who has passed away on the path to legend).
[Title Legendary Status Bonus: Kunlun Walker (Already Equipped)]
You have obtained the following special items/materials:
[Broken Divine Crystal (Weak/Contaminated) *1]
It contains a faint divine quality, but is contaminated by the [Formatting] rules and needs purification before it can be safely used. [P.S.: The Kunlun ley lines can be slowly purified; estimated time: 30 calendar days.]
Core Data Fragments (Legendary/Incomplete) *5
This record contains fragments of Skynet's underlying logic and the "Final Protocol," which can be attempted to be analyzed or used as high-value synthesis/enhancement materials.
["Final Battle" Scene Imprint (Special/Commemorative) *1]
Description: Records the temporal imprint of your battle with Typhon. Effect: Can be used to inject historical echoes, generate exclusive training scenarios (difficulty adjustable), or serve as a medium for certain special rituals.
Broken Flame Demon Core (Blue Material) *1
Description: A remnant core from Glag, imbued with fire and destruction properties. Effects: Can be used for forging, enchanting, or direct absorption (requires corresponding resistance).
【Kunlun Spirit】Total: 15 (3 from dungeon rewards + 3 from quest rewards + 9 from the original)
The Kunlun faction shops are now open. You can use Kunlun Spirit to purchase the items you need in these two shops:
1. One opportunity to comprehend martial arts (requires 5 Spirit Essence)
2. One skill upgrade opportunity (requires 3 Spirit Essence)
3. Unlock more nodes in the Kunlun Leyline Teleportation Network (requires 2 Spirit Essences; currently only basic nodes are available).
4. Exchange for [Kunlun Secret Medicine - Bone Forging] (can slightly increase bone strength and resilience, requires 1 Spirit Essence)
5. Grant temporary access to the Kunlun Library (randomly obtain a fragment of an ancient martial arts or secret technique, requires 8 Spirit Essence).
After a moment's consideration, Lu Qingfeng chose option 1, option 2, and option 4.
[Confirmed consumption of 9 Spirit Essences!]
[The redeemed items have been distributed! Permission-related items have been temporarily stored in the general network.]
So the most troublesome thing left is that [Broken Divine Crystal].
Lu Qingfeng took it out. On the surface, the crystal appeared to be just an ordinary yellow crystal, without any special properties. Even when his senses probed it—
I can't sense anything. Oh well, I'll leave it to the Kunlun ley lines.
[A resolvable higher-order rule carrier has been detected — attempt to purify and extract usable divine qualities from it?]
[Warning: The purification process carries risks and may trigger a backlash from the rules or spread of pollution. It is recommended to conduct the process under the blessing of the Kunlun Earth Vein.]
"The Kunlun Mountains—so besides traveling and spying, they have this other use?"
Lu Qingfeng expressed his delight at the results of the new method, and the next moment, he connected with the Kunlun earth veins through his mind.
The space rippled slightly, and an invisible passage opened, connecting to a ley line node in the Kunlun Mountains. Pure and vast ley line power surged in, enveloping the crystal.
The dark, murky gold patterns gradually faded under the influence of the earth's vein power, and the crystal's color turned into a clear golden-red.
"Expected 30 days? Then let's wait patiently!" Lu Qingfeng placed the crystal at the convergence point of the earth's vein power, letting it purify itself on its own. Anyway, it's not going to grow legs and run away.
