Bai Ye woke up the next morning.
He felt damp, as if he had just been pulled out of water, and there was a sour, sweaty smell about him.
However, Bai Ye didn't rush to wash up. Instead, he first looked at the light screen and then showed a look of satisfaction again.

...
After injecting two tubes of intermediate gene modification cell fluid, all physical attributes except intelligence broke through the 300-point mark.
Strength and speed surpassed the 350 mark, while spirit, Bai Ye's long-standing strong suit, directly broke through the 400 mark.
In terms of physical attributes, Bai Ye was excellent, but not exceptionally so.
This was mainly due to early virus reinforcement, the body refinement from the Five Spirits Incantations, and enhancements during normal combat.
Bai Ye's assessment was that they weren't top-tier, barely first-class, but sufficient.
Someone like Hamel, whom he had just encountered in the Wish Mission, would definitely have all his pure physical attributes exceeding 300 points. Due to super-regenerative abilities, Hamel's physical durability might even reach 700, or perhaps 800.
However, Bai Ye felt that the reason for "sufficiency" was also here. While powerful physical attributes were indeed the most valuable way to improve one's strength, they were not absolute.
Couldn't Bai Ye still beat Hamel?
And now, Bai Ye's physical attributes had firmly entered the top-tier level, with his spirit attribute breaking the 400 mark, placing him in the first tier of the top-tier.
Besides that...
"I need to find an opportunity to ask Gao Ming where he got these intermediate gene modification cell fluids and if he can get any advanced ones!"
Bai Ye originally had no aspirations for the Gene Gates, as he had only opened one out of eight, and the road ahead was long.
Now that Bai Ye had opened the third Gene Gate, things were different. If he had the chance, he naturally wanted to open all of them.
Moreover, Bai Ye believed that as long as Gao Ming knew where to get these things, there wouldn't be much of a problem. He had plenty of things to exchange with the Evil Spirit Gang.
Of course, the immediate matter had to be dealt with first.
"Canglong Association..." Bai Ye grinned and said, "Heh."
Gao Ming was worried that Bai Ye had tricked him, that Bai Ye was a member of the Canglong Association, or that he was afraid to make a move due to the Canglong Association.
However, Gao Ming never understood Bai Ye's true intentions.
The development and conflict of the three major forces were the key to driving the progress of the world battlefield.
Why was Bai Ye helping the Evil Spirit Gang develop?
Because he was helpful?
That was nonsense!
Bai Ye's fundamental goal was to pit the Evil Spirit Gang against the Canglong Association. The core purpose of helping the Evil Spirit Gang develop rapidly was to give them the capital to contend with the Canglong Association.
So, did Stansen want Bai Ye to trap as many members of the Canglong Association as possible in the virtual game?
No, Bai Ye would not do that.
The word "trap" was used incorrectly. Bai Ye felt the word "kill" should be used.
In that virtual game, Bai Ye had no intention of letting any members of the Canglong Association go.
Bai Ye intended to exterminate them all!
"Only in this way can the hatred be forged deeply, irrevocably!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but curl his lips.
In fact, conflict between the Canglong Association and the Evil Spirit Gang was inevitable. Bai Ye wasn't worried about this. The development of forces would inevitably affect each other and lead to conflict.
This had always been the case, because where there were interests, there were conflicts.
If there were two noodle shops on the same street, they might smile at each other on the surface, but in private, they would definitely curse each other to go bankrupt as soon as possible.
However, Bai Ye didn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
The steady, rock-solid development of the Evil Spirit Gang was too slow for Bai Ye.
Therefore, Bai Ye could help the Evil Spirit Gang, but they had to fight, and not just fight, but fight fiercely.
This fire needed to be ignited, and the hotter it burned, the more at ease Bai Ye would be in helping the Evil Spirit Gang.
This time, Bai Ye planned to light this fire first.
...
Bai Ye did not leave Leizhou but waited in the inn.
By noon the next day, the Big Mouth Gull Express had arrived.
"This thing is quite interesting."
Nine Revolutions Universe Wheel (Magic Treasure) (Red): A spatial magic treasure containing the profound mysteries of the universe.
Effect: Draw Ground (Can inscribe places previously visited within the Nine Revolutions Universe Wheel. Maximum inscription capacity: 12. Currently inscribed: 9)
Nine Revolutions Universe (Can instantly appear at inscribed locations)
Spatial-type items and magic treasures were already quite rare, with spatial traversal being the most common effect, though it depended on the situation.
Magic treasures that could traverse regions were considered rare among the rare.
The key was that while rare, this thing was actually quite useful, saving a considerable amount of time.
At this moment, Bai Ye's Den Den Mushi rang. Upon answering, Gao Ming's voice sounded, "How is it? Did you receive the item? With this, you can come over directly."
"Good, a good item," Bai Ye said. "Is this thing for sale? I'll trade you two red-quality items for it, two for one."
"Don't joke around," Gao Ming quickly said. "I'm lending it to you, you have to return it to me later."
Bai Ye asked, "No negotiation?"
"Seriously, no negotiation," Gao Ming said. "Besides, what do you need this thing for? It can only take you to places you've been before, so your use for it is limited, right? Mine is more useful. I have to handle matters in various regions and frequently travel to recurring places."
This was indeed true. Bai Ye would definitely find it useful. Even if he didn't go to a place he had been before, he could go to the region closest to his next target and then travel from there, saving time.
But relatively speaking, it was definitely less useful than for an executive of an organization like Gao Ming's. Gao Ming had to travel back and forth to various strongholds of the Evil Spirit Gang multiple times a day, sometimes even ten times or more.
Bai Ye said, "Alright, I'll come over now?"
Gao Ming replied, "Okay, there's a grocery store at the east end of the town. I'll wait for you there. I've also prepared the equipment for entering the game for you."
Bai Ye said, "Wait a moment."
Bai Ye hung up the phone, then picked up the Nine Revolutions Universe Wheel and slowly rotated a small wheel on it clockwise.
The next moment, the surrounding space gradually began to distort.
It was a very peculiar sensation, as if the surrounding space was a piece of paper that had been forcefully crumpled into a ball, becoming wrinkled.
Then...
Bai Ye began to rotate the Nine Revolutions Universe Wheel in the reverse direction, and the wrinkled space smoothed out again. However, Bai Ye was no longer in the inn room but appeared on a street.
