Bai Ye's first reaction was to quickly check what he could offer the other party.
Bai Ye genuinely wanted that set of black military-style uniforms, not just because they looked cool. It was truly a good item, and Bai Ye suspected the other party hadn't discovered its secret.
Therefore, even the Golden Thread Robe instantly became something Bai Ye was willing to trade.
However, Bai Ye looked at what he had and realized there was nothing that met the other party's requirements.
"Dao talismans, being consumables..." Bai Ye cautiously probed, "You definitely don't want them, right?"
The man smiled at Bai Ye. Could someone capable of obtaining blue-quality items lack such things? Dao talismans were relatively common in both the Immortal Realm and the Supernatural Realm.
"Don't worry, I was just saying. I have other good things," Bai Ye gritted his teeth and took out the Sunflower Manual. "Although it doesn't meet your acquisition requirements, this is a supreme martial arts scripture. It's true that it's only a fragment now, but if you can complete the entire book, you can capture dragons in the nine heavens and catch turtles in the five oceans. A palm strike can injure someone from a hundred miles away, and a leg sweep can split mountains and crack rocks. There are only some minor side effects, but the problems aren't significant. In fact, this side effect can help you calm your mind, focus, and become stronger mentally, allowing you to do things with concentration and without delay. It's colloquially known as 'cutting for eternal governance'!"
The man looked at Bai Ye for a long time, then sighed, took the Sunflower Manual, and tucked it back into Bai Ye's clothes. He then pushed the uniform set back towards Bai Ye.
"If you don't have anything, don't force it. You don't need to add anything else."
Bai Ye felt like crying. Did he just get looked down upon?
But, the other party agreed to the exchange...
So be it, being looked down upon...
Bai Ye's face immediately lit up with joy. He took off the Golden Thread Robe, intending to complete the exchange with the other party, but at that moment...
"You will be teleported in 10 seconds!"
What was going on?
Bai Ye held the Golden Thread Robe in his hand, about to hand it over, when a faint golden light enveloped his body. xxs1
Then...
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."
A countdown voice suddenly appeared. When it reached "0", Bai Ye's figure vanished without a trace, disappearing into thin air, leaving the man holding the black uniform looking bewildered.
He's gone?
At the same time...
Bai Ye found that his surroundings had suddenly changed. He was now on a deserted street, with cars parked along the sides and tall buildings standing in dense rows.
Bai Ye remained in the pose of holding the Golden Thread Robe with one hand, frozen in place. Suddenly, a light screen appeared before his eyes.
"A participant has triggered a Wish Mission, initiating the Twelve Great Battles."
"Within the World Battlefield, the twelve participants who complete the most Forbidden Zone missions will become the Zodiac Warriors of the Twelve Great Battles. They will be ranked according to the number of Forbidden Zone missions completed and receive their warrior identities."
"Your completed Forbidden Zone missions: 8, ranking fifth."
"You will represent the Dragon of Chen to compete."
"Please arrive at the assembly point within fifteen minutes. Once all personnel have gathered, the Twelve Great Battles will officially commence."
"The winner of the Twelve Great Battles will receive the Wish Reward."
...
"No!" Bai Ye finally came to his senses, grabbed his head, and knelt down, crying out in pain, "My Black Order uniform, couldn't you give me just one more minute? I was just one minute away from getting it!"
Bai Ye wailed in agony.
"Who wants to participate in this damn Twelve Great Battles... No..." Bai Ye wailed halfway, then suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at the light screen in shock, "Twelve Great Battles? Someone actually got a Wish Mission!"
Wish Missions were very special tasks within the World Battlefield, extremely rare, but with incredibly powerful rewards. As the name suggested, as long as one emerged victorious, they would receive a wish!
Of course, "a wish" was a relative term. Otherwise, one could simply wish to leave the World Battlefield.
To be precise, a Wish Mission allowed one to obtain a specific item or ability of a fixed quality, perfectly matching the winner's requirements.
Although Bai Ye had never participated in the Twelve Great Battles in his previous life, he had participated in another type of Wish Mission and won, receiving a wish reward. Therefore, Bai Ye knew its immense value. Being forcibly brought to participate in the Twelve Great Battles was definitely not an unfortunate event, but a fortunate one.
Because, as long as he could win, this was an opportunity to significantly enhance his own strength.
"But..." Bai Ye said with a mournful expression, "Couldn't they give me one more minute? The Black Order uniform!"
Bai Ye was still thinking about that black military-style coat. It was a good item, and he was so close to getting it...
However, Bai Ye's lament was short-lived, as there was no point in continuing to mope.
Bai Ye could only hope that after the Twelve Great Battles ended and he returned to the Soul Society, the man who carved wood would still be in the market, and that the black Black Order uniform wouldn't be traded away by someone else.
As for now...
It was time to focus on the Twelve Great Battles!
Then...
Bai Ye's expression gradually turned serious.
Firstly, in the early stages of the World Battlefield, anyone who could obtain a Wish Mission was no ordinary person. While there was an element of luck involved, strength was also a definite factor.
Secondly...
His assigned identity was the Dragon of Chen, ranking only fifth. Ahead of him were Zi Shu, Chou Niu, Yin Hu, and Mao Tu!
Bai Ye had been relentlessly completing Forbidden Zone missions, utilizing his memories from his previous life!
"This is getting interesting," Bai Ye licked his lips and said, "Let's play then!"
Bai Ye looked at the bottom of the light screen, where a map guided him to the assembly point.
The rule was to arrive within fifteen minutes, so the assembly point was not far. After about six or seven minutes, Bai Ye saw a tall building.
Upon entering the building, the ground floor lobby was empty, but a sign stood there, with an arrow pointing towards the elevator.
And once inside the elevator, Bai Ye didn't need to select a floor; the elevator directly ascended to the 22nd floor.
Ding!
Soon, the elevator reached the 22nd floor and opened. Before Bai Ye was a grand banquet hall. On a long buffet table were various kinds of food. Nearby, there was a bar, booth seating, a billiard table, a dartboard, and other entertainment facilities.
Bai Ye was not the first to arrive, nor the last. Eight people had already arrived before him.
Six men and two women.
Bai Ye stepped onto the red carpet and entered. The eight people in the banquet hall focused their gazes on Bai Ye. Bai Ye also surveyed these individuals, and then he recognized a few familiar faces.
