Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Hearing Zheng Qin’s voice, Ying Ziyao finally reacted. He quickly took off his helmet and turned his head to see Zheng Qin looking at him curiously.

Ying Ziyao looked at the holographic helmet in his hand and marveled, ”This should be the legendary holographic helmet. I heard it’s particularly expensive. I only heard about it from the old gatekeeper of the Ying Family before. I didn’t expect that putting this on the eyes really gives a sense of being there.”

He told Zheng Qin, ”As soon as I put on the holographic helmet, I appeared in a dense forest. I guess that should be the Toy Pool.”

Zheng Qin understood the business model of Hell Palace at once. ”No wonder the Hell Palace tickets are so ridiculously expensive. This helmet can magnify our senses infinitely, giving us a thrill of being in the Toy Pool, watching the Combat Dolls fight each other.”

”Creating a game-like experience in a real world is not something money alone can achieve. It also requires advanced technological support.”

”This Divine Martial Realm, to say the least, really has rapid technological development.” Zheng Qin secretly clenched his fists and said, ”I must study hard.”

Captain Huo brought him to the Divine Martial Realm to learn secretly, and he couldn’t betray Captain Huo’s trust.

Ding dong!

It’s eight o’clock.

A female host in a blue Loulan-style long dress floated above Hell Palace. As soon as she appeared, many players took off their holographic helmets and stared at her intently.

Her beauty was like the moon over the Black Sea at night, cold and aloof, not competing or vying for attention. Just standing there, she could make all men look up to her.

Zheng Qin casually glanced at the woman and then looked away disinterestedly.

She was indeed beautiful, but beauties were a dime a dozen in the Mortal World, and he was long immune. Ying Ziyao looked a little longer, but wasn’t particularly amazed.

”Esteemed guests, it’s time for our monthly appointment. I’m He Na. Tonight, Nana will spend the whole night with you, witnessing this grand contest!”

The hostess named He Na explained the rules of the Hell Palace contest in detail. Zheng Qin and Ying Ziyao listened carefully and finally understood the correct way to play the contest.

”It’s been a hundred years since a new ’king’ has appeared in Hell Palace. I wonder if tonight the Combat Dolls can give us a new surprise and let us witness the birth of a new king?”

”Let’s all wait and see!”

At 8:05, He Na quietly exited the stage.

Players put on their holographic helmets and reclined in their massage chairs, immersing themselves in watching tonight’s contest.

Ying Ziyao put on the holographic helmet again, and their data waves were transmitted to the Toy Pool. Ying Ziyao opened his eyes and could see his virtual body, but when he tried to use his left hand to touch his right hand, he caught nothing.

When Ying Ziyao looked up, he saw rows of virtual anime avatars floating above him, each with a unique number.

Number 001.

Number 003.

All the way to Number 100.

Tonight, there were a total of 100 Combat Dolls in the Toy Pool, 84 male Combat Dolls, and 16 female Combat Dolls.

All the dolls wore black slave outfits, with their number codes printed on their jackets.

It’s said that five years ago, the codes for these Combat Dolls were fixed, and whatever number you were assigned when you entered, that was your number until you died.

But later, to make it easier for players to access information and place bets, the codes for the Combat Dolls have been changing daily.

The closer to the front the code number, the more outstanding their performance was in the previous game, and they are the dolls that capture the most player attention.

And the newly joined Xu Xingguang, due to a lack of previous combat experience, was placed last.

Ying Ziyao directly clicked on the head of the last female Combat Doll, and the detailed information of that Combat Doll popped out—

Combat Doll 100.

Height: 171.7 cm.

Weight: 52 kg.

Physical fitness: 99.999.

Blood purity: 99.999.

Mental resistance: 100.

Superpower detection level: 0.

Ying Ziyao then clicked on the head of the male Combat Doll next to Xu Xingguang, and a personal information page appeared—

Combat Doll 099.

Height: 188.7 cm.

Weight: 74 kg.

Physical fitness: 78 points.

Blood purity: 99.999

Mental resistance: 99.99

Superpower detection level: 0

Confirming that this was Huo Wen’an, Ying Ziyao silently added Combat Dolls 099 and 100 to his personal watch list. Just then, he heard Zheng Qin’s voice in his ear: ”Uncle Ying, what does all this say up here?”

Ying Ziyao, finding it difficult to explain, didn’t take off his holographic helmet and said directly, ”Don’t worry about the rest. Just remember that 099 and 100 are Captain Huo and Xingguang.”
