Watching the corpses fall, Bai Ye wiped the blood from his famous sword Shi Xue, then stepped over the bodies and entered Zhenxin Town.
Now, the grudges were settled.
If the other party hadn't caused trouble after the Death Football match, Bai Ye wouldn't have acted.
But since they did...
He would eliminate them all!
In his previous life, Bai Ye had very few enemies, because all his enemies were dead.
This was the simplest and most direct method. Since the other party didn't treat the Death Football match as a normal competition in the Glory Arena and harbored grudges, Bai Ye could only end those grudges.
After entering Zhenxin Town, Bai Ye went straight to the Glory Arena.
Since he had used a ticket to teleport there, Bai Ye could teleport back directly from the Glory Arena.
Before eradicating the roots, Bai Ye was very patient, but now that the matter was done, he was somewhat eager.
It had been five or six days since he left the Great Wall. He wondered if Mulan's letter had received a reply from Chang'an, and if his hidden mission would go to waste.
As Bai Ye mused, he arrived at the Glory Arena and found a service staff member.
Soon, a white radiance enveloped Bai Ye's body.
When the white light dispersed, his surroundings had changed to the camp of the Great Wall Guards.
Bai Ye stretched and then pushed open the tent flap.
"Huh?" Bai Ye looked at the entrance and murmured, "What's going on?"
The entrance of the tent was empty, not a single person in sight.
This was clearly not normal. Usually, Mulan and Kai sparred here frequently, and even if they weren't present, other Great Wall Guards would be coming and going.
However, at this moment, there wasn't a soul in front of Bai Ye's tent, not even a shadow.
Puzzled, Bai Ye walked out.
Soon, Bai Ye noticed many people heading towards the city gate, and looking towards the direction of the city gate, he could see a throng of people.
Bai Ye immediately hurried towards the city gate. Upon reaching the vicinity of the gate, he found it densely packed with people. Looking up towards the city wall, he could faintly hear sounds of fighting.
Bai Ye casually grabbed someone and asked, "What's happening?"
"What's happening?" The person glanced at Bai Ye and replied, "Demon invasion, move back, don't cut in line."
As he spoke, the person pushed Bai Ye aside and squeezed forward.
"Demon invasion?" Bai Ye looked around and said, "No wonder there are so many people."
The city wall had limited space. People had to spread out along the Great Wall to the sides of the wall for others to get onto the ramparts. Therefore, everyone was waiting below the city wall.
Bai Ye had clearly arrived late and had no choice but to queue up honestly. However, before queuing, Bai Ye went to find the quartermaster.
"You have received a mission."
"Demon invasion of the Great Wall. Please fight them bravely. Mission rewards: Level 1 Demon (1 Merit), Level 2 Demon (3 Merit), Level 3 Demon (5 Merit), Elite Demon (20 Merit), Demon Leader (100 Merit)."
The missions from the Great Wall Guards primarily awarded merit. Whether it was hunting missions, building houses, or running errands, they all gave merit, which could then be exchanged for items.
However, the items obtainable in the neutral zone were very limited, generally capped at blue quality, and their prices were frighteningly high. The worst blue quality item cost three thousand merit, and it would take about a month to accumulate that much merit. During attack events, it was better, perhaps half a month.
But, obtaining a blue quality item in half a month...
Bai Ye found these tasks hardly worth the effort, a pure waste of time.
There were also black quality items, but...
A black quality Tang Dao cost thirty-five thousand merit...
Wallowing in the neutral zone for half a year to exchange for a black quality item, why bother?
Therefore, staying only in the neutral zone had no future.
As Bai Ye pondered, he found a secluded corner and took out the gacha machine.
Since he had to queue to get onto the city wall, he still had time. He might as well draw a couple of times. Moreover, the reason Bai Ye had suddenly changed his reward to the Steel Slime wasn't just because, as he told Jin Sha, the unknown future was more interesting, but because Bai Ye had a bold idea.
As the gacha machine spun, Bai Ye prayed, "Cannon, cannon, cannon, give me a cannon!"
Fighting demons, if he got an Italian cannon at this moment, he'd be soaring.
Then...
Vulcan Gatling (Machine Gun) (Blue): A world-renowned machine gun, known as the Vulcan. Caliber: 0.6 inches. Number of barrels: 10. Barrel length: 1524 mm. Overall length: 2032 mm. Rate of fire per barrel: 1000 rounds/min. Effect: Firepower Overload (Your magazine is always full). Standing King (After standing and firing for 30 seconds without moving, your bullet damage doubles).
Bai Ye looked at the blue gacha that appeared...
Although it wasn't an Italian cannon, a machine gun with infinite ammo was a top-tier harvesting tool, incredibly powerful!
Against a large number of grunts, a machine gun was also quite useful.
Bai Ye wasn't picky. A machine gun was fine. He then pulled another gacha.
A moment later, the second gacha rolled out of the machine. It was a green gacha, just another ordinary day.
Yin Yang Talisman (Weapon) (Green): A Yin Yang talisman capable of inscribing Yin Yang formations. After inscribing the formation, it can unleash area-of-effect attacks within the formation. Effect: Demon Bane (Damage against targets with demon, evil spirit, or monster attributes is doubled).
"Japanese things aren't that great, feels inferior to Taoist talismans."
Bai Ye pouted. However, drawing gachas this time was not Bai Ye's ultimate goal.
Soon, Bai Ye released the Steel Slime, and then he dumped all his items on the ground.
"Eat!" Bai Ye commanded, "Eat them all to death!"
The Steel Slime wriggled its body, crawled onto the sword case of Qise Hong, and as it wriggled, the Steel Slime's body gradually grew, quickly enveloping the sword case. Soon, the sword case began to shrink at a visible rate, being devoured by the Steel Slime.
"Steel Slime has devoured Qise Hong and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 78/1000."
"Qise Hong only gave 78 growth value?" Bai Ye picked up other items and said, "Eat, keep eating, eat it all."
"Steel Slime has devoured Ningshuang and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 151/1000."
"Steel Slime has devoured the famous sword Shi Xue and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 209/1000."
