Ion beam turrets, Bai Ye was quite satisfied.
Besides being good in themselves, Bai Ye was also happy to see an old friend from his previous life.
However, Bai Ye was not very satisfied with the randomly drawn golden item.
Dugu Nine Swords Scroll (Martial Art) (Gold): The ultimate martial art created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, this is the first form of the scroll.
Effect: Sword Breaking Style (This style can break all sword weapons in the world)
...
A golden quality martial art, and a scroll at that, is not just a martial art, but a super-quality ultimate technique.
However, everyone understands what super-quality means. The complete version is invincible, while a scroll is not as good as ordinary golden quality.
Taking Dugu Nine Swords as an example, it is definitely a top-tier martial art, with a total of nine forms: Sword Breaking, Saber Breaking, Spear Breaking, Whip Breaking, Rope Breaking, Palm Breaking, Arrow Breaking, and Qi Breaking.
Once all are learned, all weapons in the world can be broken. Moreover, the Qi Breaking Style can even counter the internal energy and qi of other martial arts. It's simply called "abnormal."
But the problem is here. It's only a scroll, and currently, it can only break sword weapons, which isn't very impressive.
Bai Ye pondered this item and decided not to learn it.
There was no point in learning it, but he could trade it. If he could gather the complete set someday, he would definitely learn it.
Putting the item into his inventory, alongside the Sunflower Manual that required self-mutilation, Bai Ye felt slightly better.
At least the Dugu Nine Swords Scroll had one form that could break sword weapons.
Damn it, that Sunflower Manual scroll was so incomplete that it only required self-mutilation, completely lacking the martial art part. What a joke, the so-called scroll meant to cripple oneself, that's true despair.
The remaining two items were the main event. Although they also involved randomness, Bai Ye could specify the category.
Bai Ye looked at his bare chest and decisively said, "Armor."
The Black Order uniform, a bit of a pity, yet not entirely.
Bai Ye didn't really need the Black Order uniform. He hadn't used it much since he got it.
However, the main purpose of the Black Order uniform was as a credential for the Black Order, and this identity could unlock several restricted zones.
It even directly connected to a large restricted zone—the Millennial Count!
But the Black Order zones couldn't be entered freely. One needed to encounter a member of the Black Order first to enter, and the key to this was the letter of recommendation and the Black Order uniform.
Bai Ye had obtained the uniform, but he never encountered the native residents of the Black Order, so he was helpless. Now that it was destroyed, it was fate.
But he couldn't go around naked; he needed something to wear.
A moment later...
"You have obtained Weapon/Armor: Wrathful Sea Scale Might."
The ocean's mockery seeped into every drop of water along the currents.
Gusts of wind howled from all directions, and the dark night leaped from the sea.
Those floating in the water would, as they had thousands of times before, be enveloped by the wind, drifting helplessly.
Until one day...
Brilliant golden radiance descended from the heavens, striking the eternal, unchanging ocean!
The eight directions of wind whined low, and the raging waves suddenly calmed.
That golden halberd cleaved open this sea.
Thus, this sea area gained a master.
People called him...
The King of All Seas!
Wrathful Sea Scale Might (Weapon) (Armor) (Gold): A weapon and armor materialized from the souls of sea beasts, it is the symbol of the King of All Seas. From today onwards, if you do not yield to the abyss, fight until death!
Effects:
King of All Seas (The surrounding waters will fear their king, and you can move unimpeded in the sea.)
Sea Soul (When fighting in the sea, you can manipulate seawater for combat. The amount of seawater manipulated and the power of the sea attacks depend on your mental strength.)
Sea Breaker (With the halberd blade materialized from the soul of a sea beast, when used in the sea, it can cleave through the sea with triple the power.)
Power of the Ocean (When fighting in the sea, you can absorb the Power of the Ocean, continuously healing injuries and having infinite stamina.)
Lost Ancient Ruins (Summon the lost ancient city of the sea as your domain for combat. All physical attributes increase by 20% except for intelligence. If summoned in the sea, physical attributes increase by an additional 10%, Sea Soul and Power of the Ocean effects increase by 30%, and all enemy targets within the domain have their physical attributes reduced by 15%. Duration: 30 minutes.)
Bai Ye looked at the screen and felt like he was going crazy.
Golden quality items truly never disappointed.
Although Bai Ye had requested armor, the armor and golden halberd materialized by Wrathful Sea Scale Might were a set. It could be used as a weapon and also considered armor, so Bai Ye felt he had profited.
Secondly, the effects of Wrathful Sea Scale Might were simply amazing.
There was no need to say more; these were the effects expected of golden quality.
If he had to classify it, Bai Ye's evaluation was that it was in the lower-middle tier among golden quality items, but very close to the middle tier.
But, damn it, almost all these effects could only be fully utilized in the sea!
Bai Ye felt like he was going mad.
This was forcing him to go out to sea for a stroll!
On land, the item's power was greatly reduced, to the point where it would barely qualify as red quality.
Sea Breaker could still be used, but the triple power in the sea...
Lost Ancient Ruins, a domain ability, was the part that made Bai Ye happiest. However...
The difference between summoning Lost Ancient Ruins in the sea and summoning it on land...
Bai Ye felt like crying!
Moreover, even the armor aspect was something Bai Ye was very dissatisfied with. During combat, it was fine, but wearing a full suit of armor in daily life was extremely uncomfortable.
However, this wasn't a big problem.
He could use the Steel Slime to materialize clothes for daily wear and put on the armor during combat. But the problem remained that the effects were only maximized in the sea.
Still, the item was already acquired, so he had to accept it even if he was dissatisfied.
Besides, looking on the bright side, maybe he would go to the sea for some filming someday.
Bai Ye took a deep breath. He still had one more chance to choose, and he had already made up his mind.
"Enhancement!"
Bai Ye decisively made his choice.
True strength always came from within. Whether it was armor, weapons, magical artifacts, or magical items, nothing was as substantial as one's own strength.
Therefore, abilities that acted upon oneself were the most valuable; this was beyond doubt.
Of course, there were many ways to become stronger. Martial arts, Taoist magic, magic, physical enhancement, physical mutation – the categories were too numerous.
But Bai Ye used the method of elimination.
Martial arts might result in scrolls.
Taoist magic and magic were similar. Furthermore, these two were more complex, involving the five elements and elemental resistances. Different Taoist magic and magic might not necessarily suit him.
As for physical enhancement and physical mutation...
This was what Bai Ye desired the most. Nothing was more practical than physical attributes.
