Sizzle!
Amidst the falling lightning arcs, Bai Ye's figure suddenly flashed, appearing right in front of Xue Cheng.
Bai Ye met Xue Cheng's gaze and smiled, "Do you have any other moves?"
Xue Cheng smacked his lips, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.
Bai Ye said, "It seems not."
Pfft!
In Bai Ye's hand, the Thunderfire Azure Nether was thrust forward, easily piercing through Xue Cheng's chest, aiming for the heart, and impaling Xue Cheng's body with a single sword.
"You have killed a participant (Modern Civilization World)."
"You have obtained thirty-seven God Stone Shards."
...
With Xue Cheng's death, Bai Ye felt he had completed the mission ahead of schedule.
The members of the Hidden Dragon Society within the virtual game forbidden zone should not have been wiped out. There were likely still some people in another game instance.
However, with Xue Cheng, the leader, dead, what kind of storm could the remaining stragglers stir up?
Most importantly, Xue Cheng and Wang Ling.
Two captains of the Hidden Dragon Society's elite group were directly dead. The virtual game forbidden zone had suffered a complete defeat. These deceased individuals would not be able to take any of the items they had collected with them.
Given the Hidden Dragon Society's methods, they would absolutely not let this matter rest.
There were already conflicts of interest between the factions, and with this incident, the contradictions would inevitably deepen. Moreover, with Gao Ming's penchant for stirring up trouble, he would definitely publicize this matter extensively to expand the influence of the Evil Spirit Group.
Could the Hidden Dragon Society tolerate this?
A turtle buying watermelons, should it roll or crawl?
Absolutely not!
In this way, Bai Ye's objective was achieved.
Mere development could not drive the progress of the world battlefield; there had to be conflict. As the saying goes, war is the fundamental driving force of civilization!
As for Bai Ye, he could temporarily retreat and watch the show.
"Right, I need to go out to sea!"
Bai Ye had already begun to plan for matters after leaving the virtual game forbidden zone.
Jin Sha's matter needed to be resolved, he had to participate in the Marineford War, Liu Shiyue's life needed to be claimed, and especially, according to Gao Ming's intelligence, Fang Hu, as mentioned by Li Jiayi, might be overseas, which made Bai Ye even more eager to go.
Speaking of which, Bai Ye had never been out to sea in his previous life.
The world battlefield was vast, and Bai Ye could not possibly visit every place.
If the world battlefield were divided into four major regions: East, West, North, and South, then in his previous life, when Bai Ye entered the world battlefield, he was located in the Northwest region, then actively operated in the North during the early stages, gradually shifting eastward as his strength grew.
By the later stages of the world battlefield, because the ability of mechanical reconstruction was very suitable for the future technology regions, Bai Ye became rooted in the East region, achieving the reputation of "Twin Whites of the East."
During the war in the Central region, Bai Ye directly entered the Central region from the East.
The sea areas were also divided, and different sea areas might belong to different regions, but one thing was undeniable.
Over 80% of the sea areas were in the South region. Bai Ye had also been to some peripheral areas of the South region, but they were all regions bordering the East, and there were no sea areas.
So, how should he go out to sea?
Should he look for a ship, or should he get a spirit beast capable of going out to sea?
"Right," Bai Ye murmured, "There are still many spirit beast regions in the South. Jin Sha should have died in the South at that time."
Bai Ye thought as he returned to the entrance of the game instance.
His side had already killed everyone, and Gao Ming had not finished the instance yet. Bai Ye simply sat down leaning against a large rock to wait, and then remembered that he hadn't drawn his gacha for the day.
He quickly drew a gacha to calm his nerves. Such a kind person like himself had killed so many people, it had almost scared him to death.
Besides, Xue Cheng was indeed a cadre of the Hidden Dragon Society, with so many God Stone Shards on him, a full thirty-seven.
Bai Ye did not believe his rotten luck could perfectly obtain the maximum amount of God Stone Shards that the other person possessed; it could only be that Xue Cheng's God Stone Shards were unimaginably numerous.
So, since he had come into unexpected wealth, why not splurge?
Bai Ye quickly threw out the gacha machine.
As the sound of mechanical rotation came from within the gacha machine...
The first one: If you want life to go smoothly, your head must be tinged with green; therefore, an ordinary little green egg.
The second one, Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
"Good Fortune Persimmon" (Item) (Black): After consumption, increases Strength by 30, Speed by 25, Stamina by 20, Spirit by 15, and Intelligence by 1.
A "Good Fortune Persimmon" was actually a frozen persimmon. Eating it could strengthen the body's attributes.
This was definitely the most useful for Bai Ye. Even if it was a product from the gacha machine, the attributes would not regress after consumption.
So, what were they waiting for?
Let's go!
Bai Ye directly threw the frozen persimmon into his mouth, and with a crunch...
Bai Ye's eyes almost teared up from the pain; his front teeth were almost chipped off.
He forgot that frozen persimmons, like frozen pears, needed to be thawed with water before eating.
Bai Ye temporarily put the item aside, intending to eat it later, and then consumed a God Stone Shard to draw a golden gacha.
Soon, a golden radiance bloomed.
A day without surprise or joy, a golden weapon, named the Azure Water Sword. Then, following the procedure, he devoured it, inscribed it, and now there was one more thing: to have the Two-Element Wheel devour it.
After devouring the Azure Water Sword, the Two-Element Wheel showed no change, as it was only one item.
As for whether this bug could be exploited, he would only know tomorrow, but based on the usual pattern, Bai Ye felt there should be no problem.
At the same time...
At the entrance of the game instance, a white radiance suddenly appeared, and then human-shaped outlines continuously emerged.
Gao Ming led his people out of the instance, vigilantly ordering them to form combat formations.
"Stop messing around," Bai Ye waved his hand. "They're all dead."
Gao Ming was surprised, "Ah?"
Bai Ye said, "The smell of blood, the corpses, you have eyes, right? You have a nose, right?"
Gao Ming glanced around and then exclaimed, "Holy crap, amazing!"
Gao Ming was somewhat numb now. Although he wanted to say something, he didn't know what to say, so he could only lament his lack of culture again, using "Holy crap" to get by.
Bai Ye said, "How was your harvest?"
Gao Ming gave a thumbs-up and said, "We were lucky, only five items short. After defeating the floor boss, relying solely on the guaranteed red-quality items, we'll definitely be able to gather them. Don't you still need one red-quality item? You can pick first later."
Bai Ye nodded, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's finish it directly, I'm in a hurry."
Gao Ming nodded. Whatever Bai Ye said, he went along with it. This forbidden zone could be dealt with entirely thanks to Bai Ye holding it together.
"Let's go!" Gao Ming said, "The Demon Tower where the floor boss is located is not far from here."
