Leaving the clinic, Fang Senyan felt unsteady on his feet. After devouring a massive steak at a nearby restaurant, his first words were, "Damn it, if I faced the third stage of infection in that condition, I'd be dead! I underestimated the difficulty of S-level abilities!"

Reef and Brother Black laughed. Brother Black lit a cigar, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Boss, how about we find a way to invest in a hospital? I know of a diamond mine and an oil field in Somalia, but I've never been interested."

Fang Senyan's thick eyebrows furrowed, like two blades clashing against each other. He thought for a moment and shook his head. "We can rule out oil for now. We lack the intermediate links for transportation. Small-scale production wouldn't be profitable, and large-scale production would involve tankers and other intermediate steps, involving too many people and things. Besides, oil is a strategic material and could easily trigger a blockade from major countries. Diamonds are worth considering, though. Reef, can you help me connect with sales channels?" Reef nodded, "No problem."

At that moment, Brother Black suddenly remembered and wanted to know the attributes of the second-tier disease Fang Senyan had just learned, bronchitis. Fang Senyan readily showed it: "Second-Tier Branch Disease: Bronchitis LV1."

"This ability only affects enemies already afflicted with the common cold. Area of effect is the same as the first-tier ability: Influenza."

"When an enemy already suffering from the common cold is affected by bronchitis, the onset cycle is 'Pendulum'."

"Effect: Every 25 seconds, the enemy has a 25% chance of suffering the negative effect of violent coughing. This effect can occur simultaneously with the negative effects of the cold."

"Violent Coughing: During this period, the enemy coughs violently, unable to move, attack, or cast spells, lasting for 2 seconds. After violent coughing occurs three times, the next instance will cause the enemy to suffer an additional 150 points of bleeding damage over 15 seconds."

"When an enemy is affected by bronchitis, there is a 10% chance of triggering the violent coughing effect when the negative effects of the cold (sneezing, chills, headache) take effect."

"You can choose to enable or disable this branch ability at any time. Enabling or disabling this ability costs 10 points of mental energy."

"This branch ability can coexist with certain virus-based branch abilities."

"When an enemy leaves your virus infection range, your disease effect will continue to affect them for 10 minutes."

"Quickly invest merit points to strengthen this branch ability in order to unlock higher-level talent skill trees!" Although Fang Senyan really wanted to strengthen bronchitis, this second-tier ability already cost a full 6 merit points to unlock, and even with a 50% discount, it still required three merit points!

Fang Senyan only had 102 merit points left. Even if he wanted to continue investing points in bronchitis, he felt a sense of helplessness. At this moment, he realized that his need for merit points could almost be described as a thirst.

Fortunately, for now, the consumption of the two major disease effects that Fang Senyan mastered was not too great, so there was no "can't afford to use" situation.

At this time, the Nightmare Space's re-entry time had arrived, and the three of Fang Senyan returned to the Nightmare Space together.

First, they received good news: the Alien Skull Shield that Reef had put on the shelf had actually been bought directly!

You should know that Reef's original intention was just to display the item and did not intend to sell it so easily, so he marked a price far exceeding his psychological expectation: 80,000 universal points + 50 potential points.

According to Reef's own expectations, he would be satisfied if he could sell it for 50,000 universal points + 25 potential points. But someone actually bought it directly at the price he marked, presumably encountering a life-or-death crisis, so they urgently needed to convert non-combat power into combat power. This also shows the high cost of MT equipment.

And those two green-colored sets were also highly sought after. Fortunately, Fang Senyan directly marked a monstrous exhibition price of 9,999,999, otherwise, they might have been snapped up by a wealthy player at a single price. Even so, there were as many as twenty or thirty people contacting Fang Senyan through space messages (similar to telephone recordings), filling Fang Senyan's private space mailbox to the brim.

Brother Black and Reef, who had suddenly injected a large amount of capital into their economy, naturally went to spend it happily, while Fang Senyan could only stay in his private space to process the messages. Since Fang Senyan's rank had been promoted, these space messages were neatly floating above the desk in the form of illusory envelopes, looking very similar to the computer technology in Avatar.

Fang Senyan gently slid his finger, and the silver-gray message floating at the top floated smoothly in front of him like a thin book, and then a flick of his finger would open it.

Inside, three-dimensional text would float out, along with the voice of the message's owner, just like talking to him face to face.

If Fang Senyan was not interested in this message, he would reach out and swipe gently... like Fruit Ninja, the message would ripple in the air and then disappear.

After reading several messages in a row, a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Senyan's mouth. Obviously, the value of these two green-colored suits exceeded the previous assessment of the three, and currently exceeded the previous psychological price by 10%-20%. If used properly, the value earned by these two pieces of equipment would be far beyond the previous plan.

"Huh? What's this?" After reading more than a dozen space messages, Fang Senyan suddenly discovered that there was a faint blood-red color hidden below the stacked messages! For some reason, an indescribable feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. With a tap of his finger, he clicked out the blood-red message that was pressed underneath, and then swiped his finger to open it.

Immediately, the blood-red message floated up and flew to the open space next to Fang Senyan, drawing in the air like a paintbrush in a dazzling manner, and finally formed a 3D projection image, which was actually You Meng!

You Meng's appearance was undoubtedly very embarrassing, her hair was disheveled, one arm had been broken, and there were even traces of being blackened by gunpowder smoke on her face. A terrifying penetrating hole appeared in her right chest, and even the scenery behind her could be seen in the bloody mess. Even the stubborn and unyielding expression on her face had turned into desolation.

She stabbed a dagger deeply into the ground, raised her head and said to Fang Senyan with a miserable expression: "Sailor, I was wrong! At that time, I insisted on giving up on you, and then using this to gain time to continue to develop, thinking that this would allow us to compete with the Radiance Team. Zi was originally inclined to join forces with you, but had to give up on you due to my interference, so let all your grievances and hatred come at me!"

"Now the Radiance Team has entered our world and wants to completely destroy our entire team! Arkefel is dead, Yuan Zhan has betrayed us, Sebul has betrayed us, and the Undead Mord has been killed! I, I guess I won't live too long either. Only Zi is still fighting against them, but although Zeus hasn't even made a move yet, she won't be able to hold on until the end of this world!"

"So, I beg you to save Zi! The Metal Mentor and the Radiance Team will definitely not let you go either. If Zi can survive, then your chances of surviving their attacks will be much greater! I have already activated the S-level item: Space-Time Wormhole. If you accept it, then you can use the Space-Time Wormhole to locate the world we are in!"

"Besides that, I guess when you see this message, I will already be dead, but I have set up a will through military rank privileges: if Zi can still leave the current world alive, then she can randomly inherit one of my legacies! The options for this legacy include equipment, props, merit points, universal points, basic attribute points, etc. The rewards are definitely generous..."

"Finally, if you can still see Zi, please tell her that although she will never accept it, my feelings for her have never changed. I hope I can be a man in the next life... Farewell, Sailor!"

After You Meng finished her last sentence, her holographic image swayed in a burst of disorder, and finally disappeared in front of Fang Senyan. At the same time, Fang Senyan also received a prompt: "An unknown target has released an S-level item: Space-Time Wormhole at you."

"You can freely choose whether this item takes effect. If you choose yes, then you will be forcibly teleported to the Nightmare World where the unknown target was previously located."

Fang Senyan immediately inquired through his military rank privileges: "Can the Space-Time Black Hole transmit personnel from this team?" The reply that followed was also quite straightforward: "Yes."

Next, Fang Senyan received Tyr's message: "You have received a will from Colonist 89912 (deceased) to protect Colonist 4421 from surviving in the current mission world. If successful, you can randomly draw one item from Colonist 89912's pre-death equipment, props, merit points, and universal points as your inheritance. Do you want to accept this will?"

"Warning: The duration of the Space-Time Black Hole will end in fifteen minutes, please make a choice as soon as possible!" Fang Senyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then quickly sent a notification to Mogansha and Reef, hoping that they would return as soon as possible. Brother Black and Reef were originally just going on a big purchase, and they quickly returned, looking at Fang Senyan with puzzled eyes.
