Chapter 390: Virtual Celebrity

During the battle that had just concluded, Adam could clearly sense that all of his anomalies and abilities had been enhanced. This wasn\'t an enhancement in the level of his anomalies. Instead, it was an overall enhancement to his psychic body as a whole.

All of his anomalies had become more powerful, and there were even ones that were on the cusp of breakthroughs.

This type of overall enhancement was far more beneficial to his combat prowess than the improvement of any single anomaly, and it was also why Adam had been able to defeat Flame so quickly.

Otherwise, given his former level of power, it would\'ve been quite the hassle to take down an opponent with power approaching that of a level eight anomaly.

"It\'s time for you two to show me what you\'re capable of now. At the very least, I have to learn about how you like to battle so we can work together effectively."

"Yes, sir."

Thus, Adam faced Patriot and Thunderbird in battle as well, and he discovered that in terms of overall power, the three of them were all roughly on even footing, possessing power that ranked them near the pinnacle of level seven anomalies.

However, there was a vast disparity in their battle styles.

Even though all three of them possessed mecha-type psychic bodies, Flame excelled in both offensive and defensive prowess, while Thunderbird was more agile and adept at conducting reconnaissance, and he was capable of transforming into a fighter aircraft, a form that granted him immense speed and mobility.

As for Patriot, he was a very strange guy. All of his abilities were quite ordinary, or even mediocre, among adapters of his caliber, but he had a trump card that was extremely powerful, and that was the ability to fire nuclear bombs, each of which was no less powerful than a tactical nuclear bomb in the real world.

Just a single one of his nuclear bombs could even compare with the power of some of Hebi no Miko\'s abilities, and it was capable of destroying everything in a radius of several hundred meters, making it an incredibly devastating weapon that could allow him to challenge opponents far more powerful than himself.

After examining the abilities of his three new allies, Adam was very pleased.

Commander had followed through on his promise of investing resources into Adam, and these three adapters made for extremely powerful allies.

However, even with these three new allies, Adam didn\'t grow complacent, and he was still aiming to bolster his team. For the operation that was going to be carried out later that night, he had decided that he was going to bring along Guang Fei and someone else.

With that in mind, he made a call to Sadou, who passed the communicator to the final team member that he wanted to recruit.

"Long time no talk, Diana. I need your help with something."

"Why should I give you my help? Are we friends?"

Diana\'s cold voice rang out from the other end of the line.

"It sounds like your speech has become a lot more fluent during your time training under Sadou."

"If you don\'t have anything important to say, then I\'m hanging up."

Adam could hear that Diana was quickly running out of patience, so he hurriedly said, "Hold on a second! I\'m sure this is something you\'ll be interested in. We\'re going after some adapter killers, and these killers are linked to Raven, who, according to my knowledge, is currently with Hebi no Miko. Hence..."

"When are you commencing the operation?"

"Today."

"Where are you right now?"

"I\'m at the Four Brothers Veterinarian Hospital."

"Alright, I\'m on my way."

As soon as Diana\'s voice trailed off, the call was cut off, and a faint smile appeared on Adam\'s face. With that, he had another powerful ally on his side.

I wonder how much stronger she\'s gotten after training under Sadou.

……

As it was approaching nighttime, everyone that Adam had recruited for this operation finally arrived.

Aside from the new allies, Flame, Thunderbird, and Patriarch, Diana was also present, and of course, the psychic mutant trio had turned up as well. Adam had also decided to bring Shae along just to have one more person who was of a sound frame of mind, in case any unforeseen circumstances were to arise.

With Adam and Guang Fei thrown into the mix, that made for a total of nine people, all of whom were powerful adapters. Everyone was armed to the teeth, and with the weaponry that they had equipped complementing their adapter abilities, the chances of success for this operation were significantly increased.

With such a formidable lineup assembled, there was a decent chance that they would be able to come out on top even against top-tier adapters of Wax Figure or Raven\'s caliber.

After the team was finalized, Adam checked the information provided by Thilan to confirm the location, following which the team set off from the veterinarian hospital.

Soon, everyone arrived in Area 37, which was home to many entertainment companies, making it extremely popular among young people who wanted to have a good time.

Everyone arrived in Area 37 right on the stroke of nightfall, and as soon as they emerged from the void railway station, they were greeted by the electric atmosphere in the area.

"Damn, this place is noisy."

As soon as Adam set foot out of the station, he was immediately met with a raucous commotion. In contrast with the other areas in Sandrise City, he could sense a true atmosphere of joy and relaxation here.

Standing on the station platform that was several dozen meters above the ground, Shae was looking down at the chaotic crowd through the glass as she remarked, "Most of the people here are young people with no mortgages to pay off, and they don\'t have to support any deceased parents in the Metaverse yet, so they have time and money to come out and play."

The crowd down below was gathered around all types of animated virtual celebrities, and these virtual celebrities were also able to interact with their fans. They were able to call out every single one of their fans by name, and they were even aware of what their fans liked and had prepared gifts accordingly. It had to be said that these virtual celebrities really were able to do many things that many human celebrities were incapable of.

"Virtual celebrities really do have their unique advantages. It\'s no wonder that human celebrities have fallen off so drastically over the past few years. Only the older generation are still into human celebrities, while all of the young people have already moved on," Shae remarked with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Adam noticed the look in her eyes, and he said, "It seems like you\'re quite interested in the media sector. Once we\'ve done everything we\'ve set out to do, you can continue to pursue your other dreams."

"We\'ll think about that when the time comes. Let\'s go," Shae replied, choosing not to dwell on this subject.

After leaving the void railway station, the group traveled to a massive industrial complex via taxi.

Three of the largest media companies in the city were gathered in this industrial complex, which was complete with all types of supporting facilities.

Aside from some office buildings, there were also residential buildings, food streets, hobby display areas, and the all-important data repositories.

It was said that the data repositories were underground, and just like bank vaults, the exteriors of the repositories consisted of concrete structures reinforced with rebar, so even the average missile wasn\'t guaranteed to be able to destroy them.

Furthermore, the keys of the repositories were held by different people to prevent any of the data from being leaked, and there were also all types of security measures set up outside the repositories.

All of these measures had ensured that the data of the virtual celebrities had always been protected, and those who wanted to tamper with the data generally had their efforts thwarted.

However, this was a different situation.

As opposed to normal commercial spies, the data repositories were being targeted by adapters on this occasion.

Furthermore, all of them were advanced adapters, and there was quite a large number of them.

All they had to do was capture all of the key-holders, then invade their minds to find out the locations of the keys and the relevant passwords, as well as all of the measures required to disable all of the security measures, and the data repositories would be completely at their mercy.
