Chapter 1155: Speculation
As soon as the young man entered the room, he tossed the bag in his hand onto the sofa. He walked over to the wine rack and grabbed a bottle of vodka and two wine glasses.
“Would you like to try some authentic Soviet vodka?”
“No,” Zhang Heng said as he walked over to the window. He first checked if it was closed before picking a shaded spot near the door and moved a chair to sit there.
On the other side, the young man had already poured half a glass of vodka for himself. He took a sip and commended, “Yes, it simply tastes perfect. Even though I’ve never tasted authentic vodka before, I don’t know what authentic vodka tastes like. Are you sure you don’t want a glass, my idol? At least you can be disinfected. After all, according to the doctor, the cells in our bodies have probably become abnormal.”
“Vodka can’t cure your radiation sickness,” Zhang Heng said calmly.
“Alright, it’s just a Soviet joke.” The uniformed youth scratched his head. He could see that Zhang Heng didn’t seem to have any interest in chatting now, so he didn’t bother him anymore and returned to enjoying the vodka he had just got.
Having calmed down, Zhang Heng finally had the chance to check his character interface.

Evaluation: this player has inherited part of Shadow Power, is proficient in nine languages, and possesses incredible knife skills. As an opponent, you would not want him to touch any knife in battle. He is also a Lego master and a spear expert, an assassin lurking in the shadows, a cowboy with superb skills, excellent detective and camouflage abilities, and possesses slightly better luck than ordinary people and a higher chance of encountering enemies. He is the emissary of Plague, armed with fierce blades, has excellent sailing experience, is proficient at bows and arrows, can drive cars, fly airplanes, spacecraft, and other vehicles, and adapts well to wild environments. He has a rich reserve of skills, keeps promises, and bursts with fantastic strength at critical moments. In addition, he is also a pinball soda fan. All in all, he is a nearly perfect player.
This time, Zhang Heng slightly adjusted the item he carried with him in the dungeon. Death Illusion had been used by Fan Meinan not long ago, and in its place was the new Earthly Scale that he had obtained. Other than its practical effects, this item’s biggest advantage was that it did not take up any space and was directly hidden inside his body. Other than that, Zhang Heng also brought along Pinball Soda.
In addition, after going through the last round of the dungeon, his skills had also undergone some changes. Although his language proficiency was still at level 2, it had increased to nine languages. This meant that the Finnish he had been studying before had also reached the level of daily communication. His Lego assembly skill had also been upgraded from level 2 to 3.
It was a significant upgrade, of course. This was because the skill had been stuck at level 2 for quite some time, and even though Zhang Heng didn’t delve into it intentionally after leaving the Lego dungeon, he still managed to achieve a breakthrough in the bodyguard dungeon because he had used it many times.

This was the fifth level 3 skill he was possessing. The evaluation that followed had also been updated accordingly. Zhang Heng was already familiar with the previous content, where the comment of the pinball soda fan at the back was probably because he brought along the corresponding item. The focus was actually on the last half of the sentence.
This was also a summary of the character. Before this, Zhang Heng’s description was stated as “rarely seen among players” and had not been updated much. It was only until this dungeon that this half of the sentence finally changed, to “almost perfect gamer.”
Zhang Heng wondered if there were other players who had received such a comment.
On the other side, the young man in the uniform was silent for a while before he could not help but ask, “Idol, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about who the god behind this dungeon is,” Zhang Heng replied.
The young man nodded. “Indeed. There has been a saying among the players that there is a god behind every dungeon. They will set up obstacles in the dungeon to screen out the agents that fit their needs. This dungeon is related to Chernobyl, which means… the god of disaster is behind it? Or the god of nuclear energy, if there is such a thing. Hmm… is there any meaning in finding out the owner of this dungeon?”
“Most of the time, there is no meaning to it,” Zhang Heng said. “But we don’t have any other clues at the moment. I’m just saying, don’t take it to heart.”
“How can you not take it to heart? You’re Simon, the number one player among players. You’ve cleared many dungeons by yourself. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but you definitely wouldn’t be shooting off your mouth. Did you find something?”
The youth in uniform seemed interested.
“No, any investigation will start with a lot of assumptions. Most of these assumptions will be quickly eliminated as the investigation progresses,” Zhang Heng said. “Don’t think too highly of me. The information I have now is basically the same as yours.”
“You’re being too modest, idol,” the young man in the uniform said unhappily. “Two games and you’re already number one on the leaderboard. I don’t know who else can do it other than you. Unlike the others, I’ve always believed that you can help us clear this dungeon.”
“Yeah, maybe I’m overthinking things. After all, this is just a normal dungeon, so the difficulty shouldn’t be that high. When we find Kovitz, we should be able to recreate the nuclear accident. Hopefully, we will successfully complete the main storyline mission by then,” Zhang Heng said. “I’ll take a nap first. I’ll probably be busy at night.”
“Hurry up and go to sleep, my idol. Don’t worry, I’ll wake you up if anything happens.”
The youth raised the wine glass in his hand. Since he was going to be the maintenance man’s next shift and couldn’t rest immediately, he volunteered to be the alarm.
