Several chains extended from Wen Wen’s hand, engulfing the red cloak and storing it in the Containment Warehouse of the Disaster Zone.
With a snap of his fingers, a red cape appeared on Wen Wen’s back. However, it was slightly awkward—after all, the cape was designed for a little girl, making Wen Wen look rather odd wearing it.
Little Red Riding Hood looked at Wen Wen with disdain. Moments ago, she felt aggrieved when he took her cloak, but seeing his comical appearance now, her mood lightened considerably.
But then, under her shocked gaze, Wen Wen reached into the cloak and pulled out an assault rifle!
Next came a heavy machine gun, a rocket launcher, a Gatling gun…
With each weapon he retrieved, Wen Wen’s excitement grew, like a child with a new toy, his expression increasingly maniacal. The barrel of the gun subtly tilted toward the crypt monster, though fortunately, Wen Wen restrained himself from testing the weapons on it.
Seeing Wen Wen’s expression, Little Red Riding Hood felt a hollow pang in her heart. She suddenly realized that her beloved cloak might no longer belong to her…
With the cloak in hand, Wen Wen had acquired all of Little Red Riding Hood’s arsenal, rendering her value to him negligible.
Without her cloak, she was merely a low-tier disaster-level monster, likely no match for even the crypt beast.
Wen Wen conducted a brief study of the cloak and discovered it was essentially a portable armory, capable of holding any weapon and allowing instant access when needed.
He couldn’t fathom why the Little Red Riding Hood family used this armory solely for firearms.
Wearing the red cloak, Wen Wen left Little Red Riding Hood and approached the cell of the Black Blood Princess.
She lay elegantly on the floor, resembling a true princess.
“Though I can use her power now, I’d still prefer her alive…”
After some thought, Wen Wen summoned a jailer and pointed at the Black Blood Princess. “Go, kiss her.”
The jailer was thrilled. Since arriving at the Containment Facility, their leader, Calamity Guard One, had warned them that the women in these cells were to be seen but not touched.
The more beautiful the prisoner, the more dangerous—touching them could mean death in ways unimaginable.
So, the jailer had always restrained himself. Now, Wen Wen was ordering him to kiss a stunning beauty. How did such a golden opportunity fall to him?
At this point, he’d even kiss an old sow!
Excitedly, the jailer approached the Black Blood Princess and, following Wen Wen’s command, kissed her on the lips.
The moment their lips touched, something unexpected happened. The jailer became stuck, unable to pull away.
His face turned pitch black as dark toxins rapidly spread through his body. By the time his entire body was blackened, he finally broke free from her lips, collapsing unsteadily to the ground.
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes. The jailer was already lifeless, his internal organs dissolving under the influence of potent poison.
“So, it’s not that a prince kissing Sleeping Beauty causes death… No, that’s not it. The toxins transfer through the kiss!”
“Of course, no poison would be neutralized by a kiss… So, the idea that a prince’s kiss could detoxify her might be a trap…”
Wen Wen noticed that the Black Blood Princess’s complexion had improved slightly. A few more jailers, and she might awaken from her coma.
However, Wen Wen halted the experiment. Though his jailers were all expendable, he couldn’t waste them on something so meaningless.
He decided to wait for the right person to awaken her later. For now, he could keep her as a more beautiful version of the Scavenger Demon.
Having met all the newly acquired monsters, Wen Wen began to take stock of his loot.
The most valuable item, the cloak, aside, the next was the Ice Queen’s longsword.
Gripping the sword’s hilt, Wen Wen felt a surge of cold rush through him, though he could withstand it. With the Calamity Gloves activated, he felt no chill at all.
Though previously wielded by a woman, the sword wasn’t delicate, and Wen Wen didn’t look out of place holding it.
Anything that touched the blade instantly frosted over. The sword’s temperature was lower than even Qin Shuang’s icy aura.
As Wen Wen swung it, the blade could release ice shards with considerable power. The sword energy he unleashed with it was imbued with ice attributes, greatly enhancing its strength.
Using the longsword to perform the Nameless Sword Technique gave Wen Wen a novel experience, entirely different from handling a shortsword.
Overall, this sword was more powerful than the “Tainted Blade.” However, against holy creatures, the Tainted Blade’s effectiveness far surpassed it.
Next were the items Bai Xiaomi had scavenged from the palace. The bag Wen Wen gave her was stuffed to the brim, mostly with gold, silver, and jewels.
Wen Wen sighed. While valuable, these were of little practical use to him.
Among the treasures, a few curious trinkets stood out: a clock that released a bird to announce the hour, a few animated toy figures, and a matchbox that summoned a husky when a match was struck…
These were amusing but only good for parlor tricks. For combat, they were less useful than a baguette. The husky might even turn on its master…
The monsters held plenty of valuable items, but since the palace was open to the public with daily tourists, no truly exceptional treasures were kept there.
Still, these items were far better than what Wen Wen had scavenged from the town himself.
After cataloging all the loot, Wen Wen planned to rest and head to Lugang City the next day to visit home.
Suddenly, his hunting terminal vibrated. Someone had sent him a message. Checking it, he saw it was from an anonymous user.
Curious, Wen Wen noted that his account was newly registered, and aside from Sifuermo, he hadn’t shared contact details with anyone. How had this person found his account?
He opened the message and read its contents.
“You’ve applied to change your codename. Through normal channels, it’ll take at least a month. I can get you a new codename in three days.”
Wen Wen rubbed his hair. How did this person know he wanted to change his codename? His application had only been submitted hours ago.
“What do you want?” Wen Wen asked through the terminal.
After a brief silence, a reply came.
“I hear you can craft lifelike dolls. Make one to my specifications, and I’ll expedite your codename change.”
Wen Wen’s expression turned peculiar. He now knew exactly who this was.
