"The Wish Mission has ended, and you survived until the last moment."
"Your number of pursuers is number one."
"You have received the Wish Mission reward: Phoenix Feather."
...
Bai Ye stayed in the hotel for two days. Situ Chicheng made no new moves, and Hamir and Li Jiayi were also hiding obediently.
Everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, intending to let this Wish Mission conclude peacefully.
Of course, everyone felt helpless.
Situ Chicheng wanted to make a move, but he couldn't find anyone to attack. He was the most disadvantaged. Not only did he fail to kill Bai Ye, but he also had two new targets to eliminate, and these two targets were not easy to kill.
Situ Chicheng regretted it immensely.
He chose to act during the Wish Mission because Bai Ye would be trapped within the mission's area and absolutely unable to escape.
However, precisely because it was a Wish Mission, it also brought Li Jiayi and Hamir, two troublesome targets.
Hamir...
This old bat was in a state of detachment from desires. The Wish Mission reward was somewhat useful to him, but he had to kill Bai Ye...
He couldn't afford to offend them. He'd better leave.
Li Jiayi was in a similar situation. Hamir and Bai Ye were both difficult to kill. Why bother for a mere mission?
Bai Ye was very calm. In any case, the Wish Mission reward was his.
Thus, after two days of peace, the Wish Mission concluded successfully.
...
Phoenix (Ability) (Gold): A power bestowed by the legendary phoenix, capable of burning everything to ashes with flames. If one obtains a phoenix feather and plants it in a phoenix tree, the ability can grow and evolve.
Effects: Phoenix Flame (Burns targets with fiery attacks)
Flame Burst (Can detonate Phoenix Flame at any time, causing secondary damage)
Blazing World Flame (After activating the ability, the user's body can burn, affecting all enemy targets within a 15-meter radius, with a chance of inflicting burn damage)
Body of the Fiery Rebirth (In high-temperature environments not generated by the Phoenix ability, all physical attributes except intelligence are increased by 50 points, with an additional 25% increase. Possesses high-speed regeneration and self-healing capabilities, ignoring all fire damage and burn damage)
Domain: Land of the Phoenix Perch (A domain ability constructed with the phoenix's homeland as its background. All hostile targets within the domain continuously suffer damage, Phoenix ability effects are enhanced by 50%, and the Body of the Fiery Rebirth effect is triggered. The quality of weapons used by enemies drops by one tier. After each domain activation, there is a 48-hour cooldown before the next activation.)
Phoenix Rebirth (When close to death, can be reborn from ashes and revive, recovering all injuries, stamina, and mental state. This can be used once in a lifetime.)
Bai Ye's desired reward should have been the Mechanical Heart.
Although Bai Ye couldn't use the Mechanical Heart yet, as his proficiency in Mechanical Reconstruction was insufficient.
However, the Mechanical Heart was difficult to obtain, involving a very complex process, requiring the completion of multiple hidden quests and conquering two forbidden zones.
Therefore, if given the chance, Bai Ye felt it would be better to get the Mechanical Heart first, and then use it directly once his proficiency was maxed out.
However, if the Mechanical Heart was unavailable, the Phoenix Feather would suffice.
The Phoenix ability had finally reached its complete, gold-quality form.
Moreover, while the Phoenix was not an ultra-quality ability, it still required collecting items for improvement. Thus, after reaching gold quality, it could be considered one of the top-tier gold-quality abilities.
Simultaneously, the improvements after reaching gold quality were exceptionally significant.
Body of the Fiery Rebirth, with an additional 25% increase in physical attributes after the initial 50-point boost, represented a tremendous increase, coupled with high-speed regeneration.
Although slightly inferior to Hamir's super-speed regeneration, it was still formidable.
Elementalization, high-speed regeneration...
Bai Ye wanted to shout to the heavens: Who can kill me!
However, as powerful as the Body of the Fiery Rebirth was, it required a high-temperature environment.
This condition seemed simple but was not so easy to meet, as the high-temperature environment generated by Bai Ye's Phoenix ability did not count.
This meant that the enhancement could only be triggered if the enemy used fire-attribute abilities or items to create the environment, or if the surrounding environment was already high in temperature.
It was understandable that such an enhancement effect would have certain limitations.
This made the move unusable as a regular tactic, only applicable in specific environments. However, in dire situations, he could activate his domain.
Although the Land of the Phoenix Perch was also a Phoenix ability, its effect could trigger the Body of the Fiery Rebirth and further enhance Phoenix abilities by 50%, along with reducing the quality of enemy weapons by one tier.
Bai Ye could only exclaim once more: Who else dares!
However, the domain activation had a cooldown period of 48 hours between uses.
More directly, it meant he could show off once every two days.
Bai Ye felt it was acceptable.
In fact, the stronger one's strength, the less restrictive time-based limitations became, as Bai Ye generally did not need to activate his domain. To force Bai Ye to go all out, one would need to be at least at the level of Hamir, Li Jiayi, or Situ Chicheng.
Therefore, Bai Ye rarely encountered situations where he wanted to activate his domain, but it was on cooldown.
As for the final Phoenix Rebirth ability...
There was nothing much to say about it; it was an extra life.
But what was more valuable than life itself?
Bai Ye was immensely satisfied.
After Bai Ye received the Wish Mission reward, everyone was teleported away.
...
"Zouwu, Zouwu, Zouwu..."
Li Jiayi returned to his original location and immediately looked around. Then, he collapsed to the ground in pain, almost crying.
He went on the Wish Mission, gained nothing, and now his Zouwu was gone.
Just then...
"I'm here, I'm here, it didn't run away."
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, and Li Jiayi saw the beautiful young assistant leap down from a large rock.
"What didn't run away?" Li Jiayi asked excitedly, "The Zouwu?"
The woman nodded, "Yes."
Li Jiayi quickly asked, "Where is it?"
The woman took out a cage, and then a bright white light erupted, and the Zouwu appeared proudly beside the woman.
The woman said happily, "How is it? I didn't mess things up this time, did I?"
Li Jiayi stared at the Zouwu with his mouth agape, unable to speak. Then, he looked at the woman with despair and asked, "Let me ask you a question, what did those old fogeys send you here to do?"
The woman replied, "To follow your orders and assist you."
Li Jiayi said, "Is there a possibility that I asked you to help me catch the Zouwu, not to catch it for yourself?"
The woman looked confused, "Is there a difference? I'll trade it to you."
Li Jiayi looked at the cage in the woman's hand and asked, "What are the effects of the Four Directions Heaven Cage?"
"100% capture rate for exotic beasts. Look, I even used this good thing to help you..."
Li Jiayi interrupted, "Read out the second effect."
The woman said, "After capture, the pet's loyalty is 100%, and its strength is increased by 50%, but it cannot be released or traded..."
The woman's voice grew quieter and quieter, eventually fading intoaudibility.
Li Jiayi suddenly slapped his forehead, "What kind of sin have I committed!"
