Chapter Ninety-One: Diamond Martial Arts

The stone bridge was narrow.

If a fight broke out here, falling from the bridge would almost certainly mean death.

So Qin Fei and the others took the initiative and stepped into the courtyard.

At the center of the yard, Qin Fei saw a giant ape.

This colossal ape had to be Kong.

No.

To be exact, the Kong standing before Qin Fei should have been a giant snowman enlarged by more than ten times.

Around it were dozens of ordinary snowmen of normal size.

A thunderous roar burst from Kong the moment it saw Qin Fei and the others. Then it drew its two fists to its chest and hammered them hard.

It looked as though Kong was displaying its strength to the four of them.

Because the Northern Giant was far too large, Qin Fei had already stored it in the cryogenic chamber before teleporting into Kong’s nest.

Now that he was facing Kong, of course Qin Fei would have to unleash the Northern Giant to aid in battle.

Then it’s you... Southern Giant!

Qin Fei gripped the cryogenic chamber and hurled it forward.

In an instant, a Southern Giant equal in size to Kong appeared before Qin Fei.

A deafening roar erupted from the newly summoned beast at once.

Faced with the Southern Giant’s bellow, a trace of fear actually appeared in Kong’s eyes... It subconsciously retreated several steps.

Seeing this, Qin Fei was utterly speechless.

Just moments ago, it had been strutting about and flaunting its might, and now, upon seeing a Southern Giant nearly the same size as itself, it had turned cowardly?

What was more, while backing away, Kong scooped up a boulder the size of a truck from the ground and held it across its chest as if ready to hurl it.

With a tense expression, it stared fixedly at the foe across from it, but perhaps because it was too frightened, it never actually attacked.

Since Qin Fei and the others had not moved yet, the Southern Giant opposite Kong merely stood where it was, silently watching Kong’s performance.

Because it was so terrified of death, Kong had actually ended up in a standoff with the Southern Giant in the courtyard.

Qin Fei was stunned too.

Did he still need to go in?

Friday, wearing an iron helmet, suddenly ran out from Qin Fei’s group.

He went to Kong’s feet on the opposite side, looked up, and let out several cries.

At the same time, Friday kept gesturing at Kong. From the way he acted, it seemed he was communicating with the beast before him...

Kong was, in truth, just an enlarged snowman.

And as one of its kind, Friday could communicate with it, which was only natural.

After gesturing for a while in front of Kong, the giant nodded, then slowly set the stone in its hand onto the ground.

It lowered itself toward the Southern Giant opposite it, pressing close to the earth in a posture of submission.

Qin Fei stared, dumbfounded.

Was it... surrendering to them?

The boss could even do that?

At the same moment Kong made its submissive gesture, new prompt messages appeared on Qin Fei’s rhombus crystal.

Defeat Kong!

Sample implant upgraded!

Obtained engraved skill: Tek Generator Crafting Technology!

Obtained Tek technology: Tek Rifle Crafting Technology, Tek Gauntlet Crafting Technology, Tek Grenade Crafting Technology

Obtained special item: Tek Energy Element x200!

Obtained special item: Tek Replicator!

As the team leader, after defeating Kong you will receive a special reward item: Kong Trophy!

Seeing the prompts in the crystal, Qin Fei was left completely stunned.

This worked too?

When Qin Fei killed the Broodmother before, the crystal’s prompt had said to kill the Broodmother.

But this time, after victory, the crystal said only to defeat Kong.

Although the challenge result had changed from “kill” to “defeat,” the system still recognized Qin Fei and the others as the victors and granted rewards.

This was different from the game’s rules.

In the game, there was no such thing as a boss surrendering to humans.

After all, in the game, none of the creatures had self-awareness, nor would they feel fear.

Naturally, they would never surrender to anyone.

But in this world, it was different.

Kong was alive too, and it feared death.

Facing the Southern Giant, whose size was not much different from its own, this Kong had thoroughly lost its nerve...

And with Friday going up to persuade it into surrender, Qin Fei and the others had won with ease, without expending a single bullet.

As the prompt ended, a white light spread around them...

About to return to the original location... teleportation countdown... 5. 4. 3. 2. 1...

When the light faded, everyone was back beneath the Green Ark.

This time, they had won the challenge outright, and Friday could be said to have played an indispensable role.

Thus, after this trial, Qin Fei and the others not only suffered no losses at all, but also grew stronger thanks to the rewards they received for victory.

Qin Fei obtained not only a new engraved skill, but also three pieces of manufacturing technology related to Tek equipment.

Tek Generator Crafting Technology: Provides wireless power to all devices within an area of up to one thousand square meters. Requires Tek Energy Element to operate.

In addition, Qin Fei also received a full two hundred Tek Energy Elements as a reward.

Adding the remainder from the Tek Helmet and Tek Boots he had crafted earlier, Qin Fei now had a total of two hundred and forty Energy Elements in his backpack.

The final reward was the Tek Replicator in his inventory.

Unlike in the game, the Tek Replicator Qin Fei received was very small, only about the size of a soccer ball.

It was also very light and extremely convenient to carry.

Its shape was a cyan rectangular prism with a small white sphere embedded in the middle.

Tek Replicator: Once the materials are prepared, you can use 3D printing technology to produce the equipment you want. Operation consumes Tek energy, and the crafting method must be known in advance.

3D printing technology?

After a glance, Qin Fei already had a rough understanding of how the Tek Replicator worked.

If he was not mistaken, the Tek Replicator was roughly equivalent to the crafting system in a sandbox game.

As long as the user knew the item’s recipe and had enough materials...

then he could use the Tek Replicator to instantly produce the item through 3D printing.

Crafting the Tek Gauntlet required iron, crystal, obsidian, and other materials, just like the previous two pieces of Tek equipment.

However, with the Tek Replicator, the process became much easier than before.

Of course, while the replicator spared Qin Fei the crafting procedure, he still had to smelt the iron ore and refine the resources himself.

Earlier, when he had smelted materials atop the volcano, he had kept plenty of wrought iron, so this time there was no need to burn iron ore again.

Once the materials were prepared, Qin Fei activated the Tek Replicator.

The white sphere at the center of the device spun rapidly... and after about a minute, a new piece of equipment appeared in Qin Fei’s backpack.

Tek Gauntlet: Can deliver tremendous kinetic force to the hands, granting the user’s arms an additional three hundred jin of strength, while greatly increasing punching speed. Tek energy is consumed when striking.
