〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Fenrico: "…One… One… One-shotted?"
Crownless: "…(That kind of power, there is never any possibility of victory.)"
Thundering Mephis: "…(Big Brother was right, a monster like that actually appeared on the human side.)"
Inferno Rider: "(Nice. In this way, I suppose Big Brother will be able to make a clearer judgment.)"
Lupa: "Holy crap, this is too strong. ⦍SurprisedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Iuno: "Indeed, if this is coming to the Seven Hills for the duel tournament… Augusta, do you have confidence?"
Augusta: "…I will fight with all my might. (I don't have a damn bit of confidence; just the scars from that form earlier have already made me feel immense pressure.)"
Ciaccona: "Wow. Rover is so amazing, just one punch… and that overseer of the Fractsidus was beaten until not even slag remained. "
Phoebe: "This is… too brutal."
Cantarella: "⦍ConfusedJinhsi.jpeg⦎ (Is Rover actually this strong? Why does it feel like he's not even worse than the Imperator?)."
Chat Group Masses: "Rover is amazing, Rover is invincible… is that all Fractsidus has?"
Tacet Discord: "…(As expected, is the Echo Killer the hurdle we can never overcome?)"

"Rover, you're back. Are you hurt?"
Rover just returned, and Yangyang and Chixia crowded around him with concern.
"Relax~ Relax. You guys know my strength, don't you?"
Rover smiled and hugged both girls. After kissing them, because Baizhi was nearby, they felt quite shy and immediately lowered their heads.
"The level of that punch of yours… can you let me see your right hand?"
Baizhi, knowing about their improper relationship, pretended not to see it. However, she expressed strong curiosity about Rover's condition… especially the right hand that threw that punch.
"Here. Take a look if you want. When not using abilities… It's no different from a normal hand."
Rover shook his head with a laugh, but generously held out his right hand to her.
Sure enough, in this place without any equipment, relying only on sight, touch, and her years of experience… she couldn't tell anything at all.

[ Ding! Congratulations to Guest Rover for opening a ✦✦ Bronze Treasure Chest and getting —A carton of Marlboro. ]
[ Item: Marlboro (one carton) ]
[ Item Grade: Common Item. ]
[ Item Effect: Consuming too much can cause certain changes in your voice, but smoking one afterward can bring pleasure to both body and mind. ]
Carlotta: "Uh… this should be cigarettes, right?"
Changli: "Yeah. But what's the meaning of 'smoking one afterward'? ⦍SpeechlessJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Lupa: "Smoking that stuff too much will affect your physical fitness and health, right?"
Rover: "I'm okay, even if I eat them as meals every day, it wouldn't have much effect… but I really don't have much interest in it."
.....

Saying this, Rover raised his hand and called Abby out.
"Come, Abby, I have some good stuff for you… Take this, and you can go back to work."
After tossing the carton of Marlboro into Abby's arms, Rover signaled for him to continue stacking "Heartsteel".
Right now, he could only stack 10 layers of Heartsteel, which in his view was far from enough… as long as he couldn't stack thousands or tens of thousands of layers, he felt it wasn't quite stable enough.
"Hmm? What is this? It smells so good, is it for me? Rover, you are so kind. Abby will go to work now."
After hugging the Marlboro and sniffing it, and receiving the memory transmitted by Rover, it knew how to use the thing in its arms.
It immediately and skillfully pulled out one, borrowed a light from Chixia, lit it, and smoked it happily… then said goodbye to Rover and the others and flew away.
"Your Echo can not only talk, but actually likes to smoke?"
Baizhi asked in surprise; clearly, such things were quite astonishing.
"Yeah~ Yeah. Abby is still so small, will this be bad for its health?"
Yangyang and Chixia were more concerned about Abby's health; after all, Abby was small and had only been born not long ago.
"Relax~ Relax. It won't have any effect! That little guy isn't weak now."
Rover shook his head in response.
Although Abby wasn't as strong as him, it was his companion, Echo, and their strengths were naturally closely linked.
And if one were to be strictly speaking, if this chat group hadn't descended… then perhaps Abby would have been his biggest trump card this time.

Meanwhile, to Phrolova's side.
Seeing one Havoc attribute molecule after another condensing before her eyes… and finally completely restoring into Scar's appearance.
The shock in Phrolova's heart was indescribably complex. In these thousands of years, and through all kinds of attempts… how could she not know in her heart that her pursuit was like a castle in the air?
Everything was just a thought established because of her own immortality.
But now, what was happening before her eyes made her desire for that thing to become reality… return to the intensity it had at the very beginning.
No… it was even more intense than back then, because Scar had died into dust… meaning he had been completely resurrected even after not a slag remained.
Then the relatives in her own town must also have a chance to be resurrected.
"Uh. I am… what just happened?"
When Scar regained consciousness and woke up, he felt his brain was fuzzy and had a feeling of memory gaps.
So he immediately rubbed his head and asked Phrolova in confusion.
"Nothing much, just that you were killed and blown into dust. By the way… how did it feel after you died?"
Phrolova returned to her usual indifference, arms crossed… but her words carried a hint of teasing.
"??? I died? How did I not… Ah~ Ah~ Ah. Too… too… too terrifying… I only heard a sound of 'Gang,' and then I found myself like a small water droplet facing the vast ocean. Then I directly lost consciousness, but that sound of 'Gang' makes my soul tremble uncontrollably even now."
Scar was already covered in cold sweat, crawling on the ground on all fours, and his terrified expression was enough to explain his experience just now.
