[Settlement completed. Proceed.]
After returning to the Login Space, Feng Bu Jue’s monitor displayed the settlement screen.
Details about Feng Bu Jue’s reckless use of Wild Ball Fist in the scenario, or his trip to remote areas to summon Masun and spam skills to complete character tasks, won’t be elaborated here. Let’s focus on other gains instead.
For a Common Difficulty team scenario, Hell Front’s haul was impressive. Feng Bu Jue’s personal settlement screen alone couldn’t reflect their total gains—his satchel was tight, so he only brought out two items, one of which he wore.
But if all four members’ settlements were combined, they’d reveal a massive loot from the Batcave, most of which were "Soulbound on Equip" items. Even if unusable, they could be sold for cash.
But for now, let’s examine the two items Feng Bu Jue brought out. The first one…
[Name: Batman Suit (Classic)]
[Type: Attire]
[Equipment condition: Male player, 40th level or higher]
[Background: A traditional Batman set designed after the original cartoon.]
This Batman Suit wasn’t actually equipment but attire, and it wasn’t bound. Feng Bu Jue figured it could fetch a good price, so he wore it out. According to system settings, players couldn’t adjust their Attire slots in scenarios, so he simply layered this outfit over his existing attire.
Now, the second item…
[Name: Bane's Blood x4]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Flawless]
[Function: Fully enhances the user’s Strength, speed, agility, stamina, and recovery (duration: 20 minutes, effects cannot stack)]
[Background: Years of using super-steroid venom to boost physical abilities caused Bane’s blood to mutate into a more stable and potent enhancer. Note: This item requires users with sufficient physical strength. Commoners (players below level 20) should dilute it with saline solution before use to avoid side effects.]
These flawless-grade consumables were "exchanged" using Feng Bu Jue’s [Pearl-handled handgun]. Additionally, Xiao Tan’s [Two-Face’s Coin], Ruo Yu’s [Giant-caliber Revolver], and Xiao Ling’s [Poison Ivy Perfume] each secured different types of consumables.
The "exchange plot" trigger point was extremely hidden, located in a heavily obstructed corner deep within the Batcave (which is why Xiao Tan was moving boxes earlier—he was clearing a path). Only when players approached with relevant story items would a system prompt activate.
Normally, discovering this setting required meticulously searching every corner of the Batcave. But as previously mentioned, Feng Bu Jue could now analyze environmental Matrix Code to some extent. Finding hidden elements was effortless for him.
Thus, under Feng Bu Jue’s guidance, Hell Front’s four members successfully triggered the plot, exchanging their story items for valuable loot they could take out of the scenario.
Incidentally, Feng Bu Jue actually obtained five vials of Bane’s Blood. But he gave one to Kliber to dilute and inject into Qiao Yi.
Some might wonder why Feng Bu Jue did this. As a player, his only obligation was completing tasks. After clearing the game, Qiao Yi’s fate or Gotham’s state wouldn’t affect him.
That was true.
Yet… Feng Bu Jue still chose to do as much as possible for "Batman" within his capabilities.
He didn’t have a specific reason. His mindset was similar to ordinary comic fans. After reading the original I, Joker comic, he disliked certain plots and endings, so he wanted to interfere and change that world’s future…
………
"Hmm… This time’s game currency income should be substantial", Feng Bu Jue muttered, turning toward the storage room after reviewing the settlement menu. "This attire differs slightly from the Batman Attire in the mall. In other words… this is a ‘limited edition.’ If marketed properly, I could sell it at a premium to middle school syndrome types like Brother Horse." Thinking this, he recalled Kuangzong Jianying. "Heh… Let that guy act as an intermediary, give him a 10% commission. Selling it for a high price should be no problem."
A casual player treating a famous studio’s star player and executive like a subordinate… Feng Bu Jue truly was ruthless.
"Ah… Claim equipment, claim equipment." Feng Bu Jue quickly stored the Batman suit in the storage room’s alley and approached the glass column for the "Extra Reward" draw.
His luck remained consistently terrible. He only pulled a common-quality item that wasn’t particularly useful—couldn’t even be fed to the shredder, only sold for scrap.
Next, Feng Bu Jue moved to the glass column for the scenario clearance reward, praying for better luck this time.
[Name: Alchemist King’s Taunt]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Fine]
[Defense: N/A]
[Attribute: None]
[Special effect: Greatly enhances summoning skills (weaker effects of the same type will be overwritten)]
[Equipment condition: Summoning Proficiency C, right hand with intact middle finger, soulbound on equip]
[Background: To hell with those who scream about equivalent exchange! You need a ton of materials to create something? I’ll do it with a handful of dirt! You want to expel me from the Alchemist’s Association? Fine, this is my response! Remember Lao Tzu’s gesture! I don’t care about staying in this cursed place! I’ll be the Alchemy King!]
[Name: Alchemist King’s Taunt]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Fine]
[Defense: N/A]
[Attribute: None]
[Special effect: Greatly enhances summoning skills (weaker effects of the same type will be overwritten)]
[Equipment condition: Summoning Proficiency C, right hand with intact middle finger, soulbound on equip]

You want to expel me from the Alchemist’s Association? Fine, this is my response! Remember Lao Tzu’s gesture! I don’t care about staying in this cursed place! I’ll be the Alchemy King!]
Feng Bu Jue retrieved the item from the glass column—a movable metal finger guard. After studying the item description, he decisively bent down and removed his [implanted alchemy amplifier] from his knee.
"Perfect", he muttered. "Since effects don’t stack, I’ll replace this weaker one with a stronger amplifier that has no negative side effects."
Saying this, he equipped the [Alchemist King’s Taunt], storing the old amplifier in his chest. Alongside [Jazzy Moves], his storage chest now held two fine-grade or higher items. Once he obtained a third bound item, he could play the slot machine… or rather, the [Zero Magic Crusher] again.
………
When there’s more to say, say more; when less, say less.
In short, after collecting scenario rewards, Feng Bu Jue quickly returned to the elevator.
As he’d said before queuing up, the first common team dungeon was merely a warm-up. The real challenge was next—Team Survival Mode (Nightmare).
"Are you all ready?" Feng Bu Jue stood before the touchscreen, connecting to the team’s communication channel.
"Waiting for you", Ruo Yu’s voice came first.
"All set", Xiao Ling replied.
"Ah, here I am", Xiao Tan’s voice sounded slightly out of breath—he’d probably just entered the elevator.
One thing to note… Normally, after clearing a scenario, Feng Bu Jue required more preparation time than his teammates. Two main reasons: First, his teammates had larger satchels, so they didn’t need to visit the storage room as often; second, Feng Bu Jue always claimed extra rewards…
"Then let’s go…" Feng Bu Jue said, his fingers already operating the menu.
[Mad Bu Jue, level 43]
[Wang Tan Zhi, level 40]
[Siyu Ruoli, level 40]
[Beiling Xiaogu, level 40]
[Please select the game mode for your team to join.]

[Your team has entered the queue, searching for other ready players or teams.]
[Match complete, coordinating nerve connection. Scenario generation in progress...]
[Loading started, please wait.]
"Welcome to… Terrifying Paradise." A woman’s voice, trembling, ethereal, and evil…
Before the words faded, the players felt darkness envelop them as they were teleported.
[Loading completed. Current scenario: Team Survival Mode (Nightmare).]
[This mode provides a scenario overview and may feature side quests/hidden tasks and special world views.]
[Scenario clearance reward: 100% base experience bonus upon settlement.]
[Scenario overview playback will begin shortly. Gameplay starts immediately afterward.]
After the system prompt refreshed, players immediately regained operational freedom.
"Hmm?" Feng Bu Jue realized something the moment he regained consciousness—cold hands were covering his eyes…
Before he could react, a chilling, raspy voice whispered from behind his neck:
"Guess~ guess~ who I am~"
