Gao Ming said honestly, "Randomly draw items from white to gold quality."
Bai Ye was stunned, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
The members of the Evil Spirit Group were all gamblers!
Wish tasks were like this: the reward had an upper limit, so first, one had to pick the wish task that could yield the highest quality item, gold.
For example, Bai Ye had just completed a wish task, wishing for items that could currently enhance his abilities.
This was a way of wishing that covered white to gold quality.
But if Bai Ye wished for gold quality items that could currently enhance his abilities, that would not work. The reward could yield gold quality, but the wish itself had restrictions.
Even for those with an upper limit of red quality, it was even more out of the question; random draws would not yield them.
Bai Ye had utilized a loophole that wasn't quite a bug. Both the Phoenix Feather and the Mechanical Heart were gold quality, so there was no quality randomness, only item randomness.
The Evil Spirit Group played like this: they found wish tasks with a gold quality upper limit, but their wishes had restrictions. The quality of the rewarded items would be lowered based on the content of the wish.
Therefore, the Evil Spirit Group did not set any wish content, directly requesting random draws of items from white to gold quality, thus reaching the gold quality reward upper limit.
So, first use wish stones to gamble for the upper limit, then use the wish reward to gamble for gold quality...
Bai Ye thought this was a completely insane approach, and this method of wishing could very well ruin the wish task.
But they not only did it, but they also succeeded.
Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, how do you want to add to the price?"
Gao Ming said, "Add intelligence on three forbidden zones, and also try to trap the people of the Hidden Dragon Association within them. Well, at least trap them for a while, or force the Hidden Dragon Association to dispatch other experts to rescue them. There's also a place called Ghost Tower on the third level, with a Boss that needs your help."
Bai Ye said, "Then at least half of them must be killed."
Gao Ming said, "That's up to your judgment."
Bai Ye thought for a moment, "There will be conflict anyway, so of course, we have to kill. As for Ghost Tower, it's not a big problem."
Gao Ming said, "You know Ghost Tower? That's a hidden location, I was going to introduce it to you."
Bai Ye said, "Defeat the Earth Spider from the Hundred Ghost Night Parade, right?"
Gao Ming nodded, "After defeating the Boss, there's a treasure chest. One of our members also has a hidden quest. The rewards from the treasure chest will be randomly distributed, and everyone gets what they get, depending on their luck."
"Deal!" Bai Ye said, "Also, I require you to let me see everything you have in the virtual game."
Gao Ming was stunned, "Ah?"
Bai Ye said, "Just let me see it once."
Gao Ming asked curiously, "Why do you need to see it?"
Bai Ye curled his lips. Why see it? Because he was going to exploit a bug again, but that was hard to say.
So, Bai Ye thought for a moment, "I'll pick three items you don't want from each level. After all, since I'm going in, I can't come out empty-handed, right? I don't want to waste time collecting things. You can only bring three items from each level anyway, so me picking the unwanted items would save time."
Gao Ming said, "That's no problem."
Gao Ming didn't need to get approval for this. After all, the items that couldn't be brought out had no value. If Bai Ye wanted them, he could take them.
Gao Ming said, "However, the red quality items on the third level might not be enough. Of course, the Hidden Dragon Association also doesn't have enough, so there's a struggle centered around the third level, but no one has touched the Boss on the third level yet."
"Okay, I understand," Bai Ye said, "By the way, I'm a bit far from that area, about ten days' journey. Can you hold on? Or by the time I get there, the Hidden Dragon Association might have already cleared the third-level Boss and left."
Gao Ming said, "I'll send you some things via Pelipper delivery."
Bai Ye nodded, "Good!"
...
Bai Ye hung up the phone and continued on his way.
After about half a day, Bai Ye entered a cultivation area and found a place called Leizhou at the foot of a mountain.
Leizhou was a neutral area because there was a cultivation sect called the Thunderclap Hall.
The name was a bit common, very much like a martial arts sect, and even a third-rate one, the kind of cannon fodder that gets beaten up three times upon appearance.
But the Thunderclap Hall was indeed a legitimate cultivation sect. Its sect leader, Luo Rulie, was a rare master of earth-elemental Taoist magic.
So, Bai Ye found an inn and locked himself in his room.
Bai Ye's goal was naturally the Intermediate Gene Modification Cell Fluid.
He took out the injector and injected himself. Then, intense pain swept through his entire body, his pores continuously enlarged, and blood seeped out.
The skin-tearing sensation lasted for nearly ten minutes before gradually subsiding.
Then...
In terms of random attributes, Strength increased by 22 points, the lowest; Speed by 30 points; Stamina by 28 points; and the Spirit attribute exploded, reaching the maximum of 50 points.
Of course, the most important thing was the opening of the second gene gate.
However, there was no surprise or joy. The probability of opening the second gene gate was 70%. Bai Ye felt that no matter how unlucky he was, he couldn't fail at this probability.
As it turned out, Bai Ye was a bit unlucky, but not completely.
Next was the injection of the second vial of serum, and then...
Once again, it proved that Bai Ye was a bit unlucky, but not completely.
Because the second vial injection failed.
Bai Ye did not hesitate and immediately injected the restoration fluid, returning his gene cells to their pre-injection state.
Then there was the last vial of serum, but no restoration fluid left.
This 35% probability made Bai Ye a little nervous, but...
Can a person fall in the same place twice?
Moreover, theoretically, he had failed once, so according to the principle of using a failed attempt as a stepping stone, it should succeed, right?
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and aimed the injector at his arm again.
As the serum was injected into his body, the painful sensation reappeared. Moreover, because it was the third gene gate, the tearing, intense pain was significantly stronger than during the opening of the first two gene gates.
Bai Ye knelt on the ground, and then...
Bang, bang, bang!
Bai Ye repeatedly hit the ground with his forehead, gritting his teeth. In fact, due to the excessive force, blood even seeped from the corners of his mouth.
But Bai Ye knew this was good news.
It was going to succeed!
If it failed, the pain during the body modification would not last long and would end quickly. Of course, the side effects would then appear, and he would still feel pain.
But the absence of intermittent relief meant continuous modification!
"You have successfully used the Intermediate Gene Modification Cell Fluid, and the third gene gate has been opened."
"Your Strength attribute has increased by 41 points, Speed by 33 points, Stamina by 26 points, and Spirit by 48 points."
Bai Ye vaguely saw the words appearing on the light screen, and then, with satisfaction...
He fainted!
