Two days later was the agreed-upon time.
The androids from the slum district and the androids from the affluent district would launch their attack simultaneously. The core of their plan was how to get through the barricade.
That high wall was not easy to surmount, but the androids from the affluent district were willing to provide support. With an inside and outside pincer movement, the hope of breaking through that high wall became much greater.
All Bai Ye needed to do was wait.
Allen had already approached Bai Ye, hoping Bai Ye would participate in the battle. Bai Ye naturally had no reason to refuse, because...
"You have received a hidden mission."
"Accept Allen's request to defeat the Rhine Company. Mission Reward: Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon x1"
"Android faction death rate below 30%, additional mission reward: Madman II Robot System x1"
"Android faction death rate below 20%, additional mission reward: Wish Stone x1"
...
The hidden mission Bai Ye had been waiting for had finally arrived. The Wish Stone was the item needed to activate the Wish mission, and it was also the reason Bai Ye had come to the Ruined City.
At the same time, the Nightmare Gate was also quite a powerful item. Among red-quality items, it ranked in the upper-middle tier. However, its drawback was that it was an offensive or defensive weapon for sieges.
While individuals could technically use it, the limitations were too great, making it practically unusable.
However, Gao Ming would probably like this thing, and Bai Ye thought he could extort a good price from him.
But Bai Ye didn't plan to give this item to the Evil Spirit Group for now. Instead, he would have Yimi take it to the Hidden Dragon Society. This item would be the stepping stone for Yimi to join the Hidden Dragon Society, absolutely ensuring that Yimi would be highly regarded upon entry.
This item was perfectly suited for these major factions because major factions inevitably needed strongholds, and this item was a perfect fit for stronghold defense.
The Madman II Robot System, although an additional reward, was not something Bai Ye particularly valued. It was used in the creation of robots, similar to super-grade items. Having the system alone was useless; one also needed robot blueprints and the actual manufacturing process.
As Bai Ye pondered, he checked the time and then took out the gacha machine.
Coincidentally, the attack time was at midnight. Bai Ye would draw a gacha first and then set off.
Bai Ye quickly spun the gacha machine, and then...
A new day, and the only constant was misfortune.
The first gacha pull was a white egg.
The good news was a white-quality ancient sword from the martial arts region. At least it could be recorded into the Gate of Babylon, and it would suffice for the Steel Slime as a light appetizer.
Then, the second gacha pull...
Six Styles: Finger Pistol (Martial Art) (Blue): The third style of the Rokushiki body techniques mastered by the Navy's secret units...
It was a familiar item. Bai Ye recalled that he had drawn it before, but at that time, he had drawn the first style of Rokushiki, called Soru, a rather impressive movement ability.
However, Finger Pistol...
It was a close-combat technique that could pierce targets rapidly with the fingers, possessing speed and power akin to bullets.
Bai Ye couldn't help but complain, "Then why can't I just use a handgun?"
But with a blue-quality item, Bai Ye couldn't ask for too much. With Bai Ye's current strength, blue-quality items, unless they possessed unique properties, were purely about offensive and defensive capabilities, which for Bai Ye were not even considered chicken ribs.
Sighing, Bai Ye designated the third gacha pull as a gold egg.
After two consecutive failed pulls, Bai Ye was pinning his hopes on the final gold gacha pull to be impactful, and then...
"As expected, when one is unlucky for too long, they are bound to have a few moments of triumph!"
Kongtong Seal (Magic Treasure) (Gold): The guardian divine artifact of the Undying Dragon Clan of Kongtong Sea, inscribed with the visages of the Five Celestial Emperors and surrounded by coiling jade dragons. It has been passed down since ancient times that whoever obtains the Kongtong Seal can conquer the world. There are also legends that the Kongtong Seal can grant immortality, leading countless alchemists to search for it overseas, only to ultimately embark on a path of no return.
Effect: Imperial Seal Descends (Transforms into a massive golden seal and smashes down upon the ground)
Imperial Majesty (Magic treasures other than the Top Ten Ancient Divine Artifacts will have their effects weakened by 25% when facing the Kongtong Seal)
Jade Dragon Soars (Releases the jade dragon on the Kongtong Seal to attack, duration 5 minutes, cooldown 60 minutes)
Five Emperors and Four Directions Reign (Summons the power of the Five Emperors on the Kongtong Seal, briefly gaining the power of a destined emperor. Duration determined by the user's mental power, cooldown 360 hours)
Eternal Immortality (The holder of the Kongtong Seal will forever maintain their youthful appearance. Upon death, the holder can revive once, with all negative status effects removed and stamina restored to its peak state)
...
The "friend" of the Xuanyuan Sword had appeared.
The Kongtong Seal, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of China!
The power of this item went without saying; it was of the same caliber as the Xuanyuan Sword. Moreover, after the Steel Slime devoured it, although it would disappear after the usage time ended, the growth value it provided was immense!
"Steel Slime has devoured the Kongtong Seal and gained devouring growth."
"Steel Slime devouring growth, current growth value: 471200/500000"
After the Steel Slime devoured the Kongtong Seal, it was less than thirty thousand away from reaching fifty thousand growth value. Red quality was within reach.
What was rather frustrating was that a supreme treasure like the Kongtong Seal could not be recorded into the Gate of Babylon because the Kongtong Seal was a magic treasure, not a weapon.
But regardless, Bai Ye was extremely satisfied with his final, fortune-turning gacha pull.
Then Bai Ye glanced at the time, it was almost time to depart.
Bai Ye walked out of the dilapidated ruined building and proceeded down the street.
Then...
RUMBLE!
Bai Ye hadn't gone far when a booming, colossal sound attracted his attention.
Bai Ye looked up towards the distance.
Large swathes of fire erupted, and thick black smoke rose into the sky, slowly dissipating.
The battle had begun!
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, and then...
ZZZZZT!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and then suddenly vanished from his original spot.
When Bai Ye reappeared, he was already standing before the high wall separating the slum district from the affluent district.
As expected, the androids had launched their attack, preparing to storm the affluent district.
Bai Ye even spotted familiar figures among them.
Ji Ruyue stood atop a truck, accompanied by Gonzales, who wielded a Vulcan Gatling gun. He roared as he advanced forward.
"My lads, charge with me!"
Gonzales bellowed, advancing forward like a human tank.
At the same time...
Yimi emerged from the shadows and walked to Bai Ye's side.
"It's quite lively indeed," Yimi said, looking ahead. "After tonight, the power structure of the Ruined City will be reshuffled. But what does that have to do with us? What did you call me over to see?"
Bai Ye curled his lips and suddenly smiled.
"Watch me!"
