Chapter 426 The Road Ahead

After a moment of silence, Yimi said, "You have to be careful. Although you can fend them off, as long as you have the Life Crystal, they will keep appearing."

"Next time, there might be more than two people appearing, or perhaps stronger divine followers will come for you."

"It's fine," Bai Ye said, looking at Yimi. "By then, I will also become stronger."

Bai Ye seemed very confident, and indeed, he had reason to be. Even relying solely on his current abilities, Bai Ye had significant room for growth.

Yimi still harbored fear towards the divine followers. Besides their strength, the more important reason was that they were backed by a deity.

No one knew the true intentions of the deity, and the unknown was always the most frightening.

However, feeling Bai Ye's confidence, Yimi had nothing more to say. Since the person had already beaten up the divine followers, wasn't it permissible for him to show off a little?

Moreover, Yimi did not deny that Bai Ye's displayed martial prowess had indeed given him a lot of confidence.

Yimi said, "Regardless, be careful. I'm leaving. After I join the Hidden Dragon Society, I'll find a way to contact you."

Bai Ye nodded, then said, "Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

What was Bai Ye waiting for? Of course, he was waiting for the mission!

"You helped Allen defeat the Rhine Company, receiving reward: Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon x1"

"Android faction death rate is 13%. Not reaching 30%, you receive an additional reward: Madman Type II Robot System x1"

"Android faction death rate is 13%. Not reaching 20%, you receive an additional reward: Wish Stone x1"

A moment later, the mission completion prompt appeared. The Rhine Company was defeated, and the death rate of participating androids was 13%. Both additional rewards were obtained.

Bai Ye was not particularly surprised. He had already brought the prey to the brink of his mouth; if these androids still couldn't devour it, they should just kill themselves with tofu, to avoid further embarrassment.

"Let's go!" With the mission completed, Bai Ye no longer lingered. He turned and left with Yimi, taking out the Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon from his inventory. "Take this and keep it safe. The Hidden Dragon Society will definitely need this. When the time is right, revealing it will surely elevate your status."

Yimi nodded. "Mm."

A red quality item...

Yimi glanced at it and didn't stand on ceremony. The main reason was that Yimi found himself not very excited, as if this level of power was expected, and Bai Ye's actions should naturally be so.

Bai Ye was satisfied with this attitude. Displaying his combat power was necessary, and Yimi had clearly become much more obedient.

Watching Yimi put the item away, Bai Ye continued, "The Hidden Dragon Society is based on its own world of abilities, but to expand its influence, accepting chosen ones from other worlds is inevitable."

Yimi said, "I've inquired about that. They are already recruiting externally, but they don't need many people, and the requirements are very strict. To put it bluntly, they want to recruit experts, not just purely pursue numbers."

"That's not a problem for you," Bai Ye said. "However, the Hidden Dragon Society is not that harmonious internally."

Yimi looked confused. "Hm?"

Bai Ye said, "The current president of the Hidden Dragon Society is named Nan Liang, but the esteemed president is not the one with the most say. The two vice presidents, Liu Shiyue and Jin Jinse, can stand on equal footing with Nan Liang."

Yimi asked, "Internal conflict?"

Bai Ye said, "That's hard to say. After all, in terms of unity, their foundation comes from the same world, giving them a natural advantage. But factions are certain."

Yimi asked, "Which side should I choose?"

"Which side is not important," Bai Ye said. "What's important is which side can get you recognized faster."

According to his memories from his previous life, none of the three current leaders of the Hidden Dragon Society made it to the late game. Either they died, or they stepped down.

Therefore, following anyone had little significance.

Since they would all be replaced, there was no issue of other powerful figures rising to power and ostracizing them. Besides, it was only those without strength who would be ostracized; those with great strength would only be sought after.

Bai Ye continued, "Vice President Liu Shiyue is currently planning a large-scale mission, possibly a large-scale restricted zone. He should be short of people right now, especially experts. If you go to him, it should be easier to join the Hidden Dragon Society, have more opportunities to prove yourself, and climb higher."

Yimi nodded. "I'll try."

Bai Ye said, "He should currently be in one of the twenty-four southern grid areas. He wants to go out to sea, so you need to hurry."

Yimi said, "Okay, I understand."

Bai Ye waved his hand. "Go."

Bai Ye wasn't too worried about Yimi. With Yimi's strength, would the Hidden Dragon Society not want him? Unless the people in the Hidden Dragon Society had lost their minds.

What Bai Ye needed to worry about was how to help Yimi climb the ranks after he joined the Hidden Dragon Society.

The Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon should help Yimi solidify his position. Any faction or organization would love this thing.

If he approached the Evil Spirit Group, Bai Ye would even dare to quote a golden quality item and extort a piece of flesh from Gao Ming.

However, while the item could solidify his position, it couldn't elevate it. His own value was the key. Bai Ye felt that if necessary, he could sell out the Evil Spirit Group.

Bai Ye mused as he walked away down the street, then took out the Wish Stone and crushed it.

Wish mission...

Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry originally, but the Kongtong Seal was a good item, and it still had more than ten hours left. Bai Ye decisively initiated the wish mission.

"You are about to start a wish mission."

"You will be teleported into the wish space in thirty seconds."

"Countdown: 30, 29, 28..."

Wish missions were generally divided into two types. The first type was a fixed wish mission. Simply put, you would know what the mission was while undertaking it, and then the reward for the wish mission would be revealed.

The second type was the Wish Stone. Using it would initiate a wish mission, but the specific nature of the wish mission would be unknown. The answer would only be revealed after the wish mission was initiated.

Relatively speaking, the first type was better.

Because knowing the type allowed for preparation and confirmation of suitability. The latter was random.

However, Bai Ye wasn't too concerned. He was just that confident, hands in his pockets, undefeated.

Thirty seconds passed, and Bai Ye's body gradually became ethereal, then disappeared from the street.

Then...

In Bai Ye's vision, a vast expanse of milky white light enveloped him.

The white light was not dazzling, but flowed outwards like liquid, filling the surrounding space, eventually forming a white square space that enclosed Bai Ye.
