Due to the error in his judgement of the Pi element and his hurting conscience when he saw Zi, Sheyan seemed to be in a state of depression and distress, causing Mogensha and company to think that his mission had failed. In order to cheer him up, they took out something they had just picked up from the auction house.
It was the sample of a T-virus from Resident Evil!
[ A-Grade Storyline Item: T-virus sample ]
[ This powerful RNA virus can perfectly invade the human immune system and has strong genetic recombination capability. It is a devilish product made to develop biological weapons, but most creatures could not adapt to its mutagenic characteristic and became horrible monsters. Moreover, the secondary infection caused by it has led to the mutation of various organisms. As far as humans are concerned, only one in ten million people have the physique to withstand its viral force. ]
[ After the T-virus is implanted into the body, there is a certain probability of gaining some power from it, and gaining certain characteristics of a Tyrant. ]
[ Of course, if the infection runs out of control, the person will die unless they are treated by the Realms. However, the cost of treatment is quite considerable. ]
(TL: https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Tyrant_Virus )

Of course, Sheyan would not lose control to the infection of this T-virus. The A-virus in his body absorbed this small tube of T-virus easily, but the strengthening he obtained was not that high: just all attributes +2. However, it did come with a special effect.
[ When the host attacks someone in close proximity, there will be a certain chance to inject the T-virus into the opponent’s body. There will be a 90% chance of a T-virus infection running out of control in the opponent, causing them to zombify for 5 seconds. Their movement speed and attack speed will drop by 45%, but the damage they receive will be reduced by 15%, and they will not feel any pain. ]
[ During the zombification, the enemy’s immune system will have a fierce battle with the T-virus, so after five seconds, although the opponent’s immune system will successfully expel the T-virus , the opponent will also sustain 100-200 points of damage. ]
[ There is a 10% chance of the opponent gaining a ‘Perfect Infection’ effect. All attributes +5%, attack +10%, lasts for 30 minutes. ]
Sheyan did not know whether to laugh or cry at this special effect, but leaving aside the 100-200 points of damage after five seconds, the 45% drop in movement speed and attack speed after the zombification was obviously good news. It would likely play an important role in the pursuit of an enemy. It could be considered a powerful speed-reduction passive ability, which was not bad at all.
Next, Sheyan showed everyone his harvest from planet Uplos one by one. The first one he showed was naturally the Royal Jelly of the One-Horned Flying Ants. No one would dislike something that could permanently increase all attributes.
Following that was the rather disgusting bodily fluid of Xenomorph eggs. By applying this thing on the body, one could gain a permanent effect of absorbing 33% of acidic damage. For Zi, it would really take a lot of courage to apply this disgusting, white, turbid liquid onto her skin.
Next, Sheyan took out the Ukiyo-e painting and handed it to Sanzi.

This is a special gift for you. After returning to the real world, I have five days of vacation – I need to take a good rest in those five days – but it’s probably only an hour or two for you guys in here. You guys come up with a plan to try and help Sanzi deal with this monster. Of course, even if we can’t make it submit, it’s fine too. We’ll just kill it. A legendary creature of at least tier-7 should give us some good loot.

For legendary creatures, the dividing line between tier-6 and tier-7 was an important threshold. Although the gap between the two tiers was not as large as that between a normal contestant and a Growth-Hunter where a contestant was almost born anew, it was still very significant.
Sanzi could not help wiping away his sweat when he heard what Sheyan said.

I’m under huge pressure here, bro. Do you have any relevant information about the monster?

Sheyan transmitted the information he had obtained to Sanzi, but Sanzi felt that it was not enough. Sheyan thought about it for a bit and said,
I know a bastard who can definitely provide the most detailed information. Gimme a minute.

Sheyan immediately traveled to the exit of the Nightmare Realm through the interior transportation system. As he expected, Archer, being a technological otaku, did not waste this chance where he could observe the Nightmare Realm at a close distance after escorting Sheyan here. After all, the Nightmare Realm could be said to be a representative symbol of a civilization, a crystallization of advanced science and technology. When Sheyan saw him, he was immersed in calculating various statistics and data, making full use of his time here before he had to return.
Archer was surprised to see Sheyan again so soon. Sheyan cut straight to the chase.

I know you must have a way to connect to Alps Base 7, right?


Of course,
nodded Archer doubtfully.
Sheyan snapped his fingers in triumph.
Contact Lieutenant General Mungo for me.

Because Archer was someone Mungo promoted to his current high position, in Mungo’s mind, Archer was
his man
. But Mungo was just about to get down with his secretary. He suppressed his anger at being interrupted and answered with an anger that all men could understand,
Archer, you bastard, what the hell do you want?

Sheyan replied in a relaxed manner,
I’m Seaman. What happened to Cyborg No. 1 who went to Uplos with me?


Oh, that disposable item…. Well, you know, his existence is a great threat to me because my enemy can use him as evidence to accuse me of serious violations, so I’ve dealt with him,
replied Mungo with scorn.
Sheyan’s heart sank. At first, he just wanted to get some information, but when he thought of the lowly fate of the cyborgs, their miserable lives, and their tenacity to live like a dog, he could not help having another idea.
He could not change the fate of all cyborgs, but he could change the fate of one!

You better pray that he hasn’t been destroyed yet,
said Sheyan.
Mungo burst out laughing.
My friend, I’m an atheist. I never pray.


Cyborg No. 1 is worth two Pi element ingots. I’ll also bring him into the Nightmare Realm, so no one will be able to find him and make him a witness. Even the Emperor himself would have a hard time doing so.


You must be kidding me!
Mungo’s voice sounded out of tune.

Do I look like someone who like to crack jokes?
replied Sheyan coldly.

Oh my God! Please let those bastards be as lazy as today as they usually are!
Mungo screamed while pulling his pants up.
Half an hour later, the remaining half of Cyborg No. 1 was found in the rubbish dump which was about to be pushed into the incinerator. He had received some treatment after returning to Alps Base 7, but halfway through his parts replacement, he was thrown into the rubbish dump.
He was now installed with a perfect cyborg body and delivered to Sheyan with the fastest speed possible. After seeing Sheyan, the old fellow did not show much surprise. He greeted Sheyan with the grace of an old English aristocrat.

I thought you would instantly remember these precious treasures in my brain, Colonel.

Sheyan smiled and said,
There’s too much I have to deal with recently, so I keep forgetting things.

Cyborg No. 1 gazed at the magnificent yet terrifying Nightmare Realm in the distance and sighed.

This is the relic of the gods? It seems that, barring any accident, I’ll spend the rest of my life here?


You have another option: back to the incinerator. But since you’re here, you’re probably not very interested in that option. You should go and say goodbye to your family.

Cyborg No. 1 nodded. He took only three minutes before he returned and silently followed after Sheyan into the squirming tunnel of the Nightmare Realm. However, when Sheyan tried to take the cyborg along for the ride, he received a warning from the Realm:
[ Unknown life-form is prohibited from entering the Realm! ]
Sheyan did anticipate that something like this would happen. The solution to this was simple: Cyborg No. 1 had to become his servant. The only problem was that the cyborg had to give himself a name, or, he could tell Sheyan his real name.
Old Charlie.
That was the name of Sheyan’s third servant.
After Old Charlie obtained the permission to enter the Realm, Sheyan smiled at him and said,
Although this place is full of danger, you’ll also be able to enjoy some really cool benefits.

While Old Charlie was still dumbfounded, Sheyan had already connected to the Realm through his Nightmare Imprint.

Realm, please restore the body of my servant, Old Charlie!

That’s right. Old Charlie may be a cyborg, but most of his brain was still human, so a restoration of the body was naturally possible.
Amidst Old Charlie’s astonished expression, his mechanical plastic body rapidly dissolved, leaving behind only his brain. Then, Old Charlie was enveloped in a culture chamber which fell from the sky. His master, Contestant No. 1018, received the bill of…. 1,400 utility points.
Sheyan paid without hesitation, then quietly waited for Old Charlie’s new life.
No matter how calm Old Charlie was normally, he was doomed to lose his cool this time. A new human body, a body perfectly integrated with his brain. It was a dream a cyborg never dared to dream of!
After the restoration, Sheyan did not have time share Old Charlie’s excitement. He handed Old Charlie over to his teammates and told them to ask the old fellow if they needed any information. He then said that he was really tired and had to go back to the real world to recuperate. He walked out after giving Zi a seemingly nonchalant glance.
There was really nothing out of the ordinary in Sheyan’s glance, but for some reason, Zi suddenly had a very peculiar feeling. Her heart started racing for reasons she could not understand. She gave a casual excuse and went after Sheyan.
