Bai Ye watched the news with an expression that clearly said, "I'm this awesome, I predicted this correctly," a rather smug demeanor. He completely ignored the fact that it wasn't deduction, but something he had experienced in his previous life, which was why he was perfectly aware of what Batman and Commissioner Gordon were planning.
This was a trap, set to apprehend criminals who intended to hijack the transport vehicle and rescue the Joker.
Commissioner Gordon had even gone so far as to spend a large sum of money to purchase advanced technological weaponry from an arms company called "Stark Industries."
As it turned out, they were successful, arresting seven criminals.
However, Bai Ye wasn't particularly concerned. Had the strength of the villain faction been weakened?
It was just seven people!
Based on the number of chosen ones who entered the City of Sin, with three hundred divided into two factions, that meant one hundred fifty in each. With only seven people captured, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
But hijacking the transport vehicle on the road was indeed a bad idea. Firstly, one would have to face the elaborate setup by Batman and Commissioner Gordon. Secondly, even if they managed to rescue the Joker, they would have to contend with attacks from the order faction, as well as backstabbing from within the villain faction.
Those one hundred points of sin and the Joker's playing cards weren't easy to obtain. Only one person succeeded in rescuing the Joker, which meant that the chosen ones in the villain faction were also in opposition to each other.
Of course, the order faction wasn't exactly harmonious either, as only one of them could obtain the order points and the Bat-suit.
This was somewhat difficult to comprehend. The mission for the order faction was to prevent the Joker from escaping. If the Joker failed to escape, it would mean all the chosen ones in the order faction had succeeded.
But Bai Ye knew very well that it wasn't that simple. The Joker would inevitably escape. Even if no chosen ones from the villain faction intervened, this wouldn't change. The Joker himself could escape from the detention center. Therefore, although the order faction's mission was to prevent the Joker's escape, it should actually be to recapture the Joker after he escaped, which would be considered preventing his escape, rather than simply stopping someone from rescuing him.
Thus, whoever escorted the Joker back would be considered to have completed the mission.
Time ticked by. Looking out the window, almost nothing out of the ordinary could be seen, yet the atmosphere was incredibly heavy.
A low-pressure system was spreading...
It felt like the calm before a storm.
Bai Ye lay in a rocking chair, gently swaying, seemingly resting his eyes, or perhaps even asleep.
"Help, help, help."
The胖子 (pàngzi - fat guy) didn't understand Bai Ye's meaning and scratched his head honestly, saying, "I'm only thirty this year, and I've indeed never had a girlfriend."
Bai Ye: "..."
Good heavens, he was actually accumulating luck by being single for thirty years!
At the same time, Bai Ye was a bit speechless. Last time, Ziyuan also drew a red gacha on her first try. Now, he had casually found a胖子, and with just two pulls, he got another red gacha...
And in this life, let alone drawing a red gacha, he rarely even saw a black one...
Was it that the native inhabitants had too much luck?
Or was his luck just too terrible?
As Bai Ye pondered this, he opened the red gacha.
Eternal镇 Southern Wilderness (Flying Sword) (Red) (Sealed State): In the Southern Wilderness, there were countless evil cultivators, a thousand miles of scorched earth, and mountains of bones, until the Barbarian King was born. With a single sword, he broke the Southern Wilderness. From then on, the Southern Wilderness had a sword named: Eternal镇 Southern Wilderness.
Effects: Tyrannical (After Strength attribute increases by 30 points, it further increases Strength attribute by 15%).
Like a Mountain (After Constitution attribute increases by 30 points, it further increases Constitution attribute by 15%).
Riding a Horse with a Saber (Any attack method's power decreases by 50%, defensive method's effectiveness increases by 150%, lasts for 15 minutes).
Three Feet Invincible (When facing enemies within a ten-foot range, all can be repelled ten feet away).
Unrivaled Under Heaven (In literature, there is no first; in martial arts, there is no second. Flying swords of red quality and below, when facing Eternal镇 Southern Wilderness, will all have their quality reduced by one rank).
When the red gacha was opened, Bai Ye saw a massive stone appear before him.
The stone's shape resembled a great sword, about as tall as Bai Ye, nearly half a meter thick. At the top was a hilt made of dark iron, very rough, with many scratches. At the same time, rusty iron chains were wrapped around the stone.
On the front of the stone, four large characters were carved, with red paint filling the grooves.
Eternal镇 Southern Wilderness!
