Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Time for the Five-man Instance to Team Up

Beneath the veil of night, the city was engulfed in darkness.

Only the pale, cold gleam of the street lamps flickered occasionally on either side of the road, where vehicles wrecked in collisions could be seen everywhere, and the ground was covered with bloodstains. The pungent scent of gasoline mingled with the stench of blood, permeating the air—apart from the howling wind, nothing else could be heard.

In the distance, the cluster of skyscrapers was pitch black, showing no signs of human presence.

However, for Fang Zheng, he had grown used to it...

Clearly, this was yet another world either "being destroyed" or "in the process of destruction."

Fang Zheng turned his head and looked behind him, quickly noticing the young girls lying "asleep" on the cargo truck not far behind him.

Apart from Fang Zheng, three other people had come to this world, namely Senju Natsuyo, Fumie Busei, Tina, and... Little Hei.

The number wasn’t large, which was a relief.

Looking at the four young girls in front of him, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Natsuyo was very calm, Midori and Tina were very obedient, and Little Hei... although a bit mischievous, was reliable enough in combat. It seemed this random selection had been lucky for him—no unfamiliar faces and no one who lagged behind. Of course, this might also be related to the one-star difficulty level. Had it been three-star, there probably would have been more than these four.

"Mm...,"

Just then, Little Hei yawned and then opened her eyes to look at Fang Zheng, waving at him with a cheeky grin.

"Good morning, big brother," she said.

"Good, it looks like you’re the best one among this group," he replied.

Seeing Little Hei in front of him, Fang Zheng also reached out to pat her little head.

"Get up!"

"Understood!"

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, Little Hei quickly somersaulted to her feet, looking around and then arching her eyebrows.

"Is this the new world we’ve traveled to? Big brother, this world doesn’t seem very nice..."

"Trial worlds are usually like this, I’ve almost gotten used to it," Fang Zheng sighed deeply, on the bright side, this was at least a modern society, and not having to dig through ruins and eat dirt like in the Black Soul or Fire Dragon Empire was quite good already.

"Mm...,"

At this moment, Natsuyo and the others also opened their eyes and came to their senses. Seeing Fang Zheng, they quickly stood up and gathered beside him, cautiously scrutinizing their surroundings.

"Brother Fang Zheng, is this the world we’ve traveled to?"

"It feels so scary..."

"All right,"

After making sure everyone was awake, Fang Zheng coughed lightly and then looked at them with a serious expression.

"Now that you’re all awake, let’s assess the situation. Before that, let’s activate the personal terminals and scan the surroundings... How are the personal terminals working?"

"All good,"

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, the girls quickly activated the personal terminals worn on their wrists and responded.

"Then, have any of your powers changed?"

"Powers?"

This time the girls paused, then closed their eyes to carefully feel for a moment before Natsuyo shook her head.

"My psionic power is quite normal, no problems at all,"

"Me too... Brother Fang Zheng..."

"Tina doesn’t feel anything unusual either."

"Wuu... "

However, unlike the other three, Little Hei showed a slightly anxious expression.

"It seems like there is no mana in this world, big brother, my magecraft seems to be ineffective..."

"Oh?"

Hearing Little Hei’s response, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, then he closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings. As expected, Fang Zheng soon discovered, just as Little Hei had said, there was not a trace of magic power, spiritual power, or similar force in the air of this world. This meant if Fang Zheng and Little Hei wanted to use spells, they would have to completely deplete their own magic power without any chance of replenishment.

After experiences in so many worlds, Fang Zheng had nearly determined the specific elements of this world.

"Clearly, this is a science fiction horror world, and there might be superpowers, but certainly no mystical skills like magic. So Natsuse and others’ psionic abilities are not restricted, but for me and Little Hei..."

Thinking this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, trying to summon an angel, but neither "Ratziel" nor "Unsealing Master" could be summoned. Similarly, spells could not be cast, and Fang Zheng’s attempt to use Royal Wealth also failed.

Based on previous system prompts, an object without a similar concept cannot be summoned. This means this world has neither angels nor magic. However, on the other hand, there are superpowers... But judging by this, it doesn’t seem to be a superhero background, eh?

Thinking this, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and soon, a broken glass bottle in front of him began to rapidly restore itself, turning back into a wine bottle in the blink of an eye and landing in Fang Zheng’s hand.

The Power of Time is still usable, which means the power of time is recognized by the system as a superpower, not magic?

"Little Hei, what about your attribute levels?"

Thinking this, Fang Zheng looked at Little Hei and asked again, and Little Hei shook her head.

"All attributes are about one-third lower than when you summoned me, big brother."

This is not a big problem.

As an ARCHER, Little Hei’s attributes, although not top-notch among Heroic Spirits, are first-rate, and even if reduced by one-third, at most they are now second or third-tier. But even as a second or third-tier Servant, in a world without concepts of mystical powers, she can almost stroll through it dominantly.

The only problem is...

"I remember... your weapons are all projections, right?"

Fang Zheng remembered clearly, this girl who looks exactly like Illya but completely cosplays as Red A, also fights just like Red A, using Projection Magic to craft weapons. Her bow, scimitar, and other weapons all require Projection Magic. And without the mystical concepts in this world, Little Hei’s magecraft is essentially nullified, and with the lack of replenishment, every bit used is a bit lost...

Fortunately, though, after returning to the Heavenly Dao Palace, to prevent similar occurrences, Fang Zheng had specifically gone to buy a Spatial Bag commonly used by mages. Of course, its capacity can’t compare to Fang Zheng’s own storage space, but it comes in handy under trial conditions like now with restrictions preventing access to his storage space.

So, Fang Zheng quickly fished inside the Spatial Bag, then took out two daggers and tossed them over.

"Use these for now; we’ll look around here, and if we find better weapons, we’ll switch to those."

"Okay, big brother, then I’ll take these without hesitation... What are these?"

Little Hei didn’t hesitate at all, grabbing the two daggers and upon closer inspection, she realized that the blades were even longer than her Ganjiang and Moye, and the blade was considerably wider. Moreover, the hilt was covered with a soft-touch material resembling a mix of leather and plastic. Despite their broad appearance, the scimitars seemed to weigh almost nothing and felt very light to the touch...

"High-Vibration Particle Daggers, a new product developed by Nymph,"

Faced with Little Hei’s question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and gave the answer.

"But... big brother, you don’t use this kind of weapon, do you?"

"Of course not; I said I planned to use it to cut meat for barbecue, so Nymph specifically made it for me."

"...Barbecue?"
