Bai Ye pondered for a moment, and it did make sense.
Super Stones and Key Stones weren't easy to find. More importantly, after finding them, they had to correspond to the Beastmasters' current pets for Mega Evolution. The rarity of Mega Stones and Key Stones for pseudo-legendary pets like Metagross would definitely be higher than Aerodactyl. Therefore, Gengar was just a wishful thought for now.
Jin Sha said, "Take your time choosing. Let me know when you're done."
Bai Ye nodded and first looked at the black-quality items. He actually found what he was looking for.
Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood, a black-quality item, fifty million!
This was one of the required items to enhance the Phoenix's ability, but...
Bai Ye chose not to exchange it!
To enhance the Phoenix's ability, three items were needed: Phoenix Feather, Undying Flame, and Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood. Having only the Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood was useless. Currently, Bai Ye felt he needed things that could immediately improve him. Although the Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood could grant the Phoenix's ability an additional effect, it wouldn't cause a qualitative change.
The other two items to enhance the Phoenix's ability were Undying Flame, a red-quality item, and Phoenix Feather, a gold-quality item...
Bai Ye was self-aware. Obtaining them in his current state was almost impossible. Of course, he used the word "almost" because there was still a sliver of hope.
That hope was the Gacha machine!
The red and gold capsules of the Gacha machine had a chance to yield items.
Although items only lasted for 24 hours, there was a bug, or perhaps not a bug. Many items were single-use consumables. Once consumed within 24 hours, they wouldn't be reclaimed by the Gacha machine. The three items required to enhance the Phoenix's ability were all of this nature. Therefore, if Bai Ye got incredibly lucky and pulled the items from the Gacha machine, he could directly use them to enhance the Phoenix's ability.
This was something Bai Ye had considered when choosing the Phoenix's ability. Of course, the Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood and Undying Flame were in the black and red capsules respectively, and Bai Ye couldn't specify them. The probability of pulling them...
In fact, even if he specified the gold capsule, the probability of pulling an item would still be extremely low, but it was still a thought, a glimmer of hope.
"I want this..." Bai Ye thought, pointing at a weapon, "Seven-Colored Rainbow, Flying Sword, thirty-eight million."
Jin Sha nodded and after exchanging the item, said, "What about the remaining twelve million?"
Bai Ye said, "I need to think about it. With over ten million left, there aren't many great things to exchange for."
Jin Sha said, "Have you considered getting another pet?"
Bai Ye asked, "Hmm?"
Jin Sha explained, "A personality like Goodra's, if you only have one pet, you'll feel lonely after a while. So, choosing another pet to accompany it is a good option."
Bai Ye asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"
Jin Sha pointed at the screen and said, "This one!"
Bai Ye said, "Gengar?"
Jin Sha chuckled, "This guy is always in the spotlight. In my world, there are many different regions, and some pets only exist in certain regions, unseen in others. Gengar is a pet you can see in any region you go to. Moreover, this guy is favored by heaven. He can Mega Evolve into a Ghost King through Mega Stones and Key Stones, and he also possesses Dynamax capabilities. There's a saying where we come from: 'Ironclad Gengar, ever-changing pets' to describe this guy. You can tell how famous he is."
Bai Ye thought for a moment, "Since you've said so, I'll exchange for a Gengar."
"Gengar is eight million," Jin Sha said. "What will you exchange for with the remaining four million?"
"What can I exchange for with four million?" Bai Ye spread his hands. "Two Lollipops, and then a Cheese Stick."
Jin Sha nodded and selected the items.
The next moment, the screen disappeared, and the first to appear was the Metagross chosen by Jin Sha. This thing...
Bai Ye examined it. Why did it look like a crab made of stone?
In terms of appearance, Bai Ye felt Goodra was stronger. At least it was juicy, had its own lubricant, and made cute "ya~ya~" sounds.
As for strength...
Bai Ye insisted that cuteness was paramount and firmly believed Goodra was stronger.
Then...
It was the flying sword Bai Ye wanted!
Seven-Colored Rainbow (Flying Sword) (Blue): Rainbow breaks through the clearing sky, mountains are dyed with fresh green brows, Effect: Seven Swords Emerge (All seven swords from the sheath emerge to slay enemies), Flowing Light Neon (Seven swords rotate in seven colors, disorienting enemies within a 10-meter radius), Seven Rainbows Pierce the Sky (Seven swords merge into one, attacking enemy targets), Seven-Colored Sword Qi (Utilize seven swords to generate seven-colored sword qi, seven at a time, with a 10-second interval between uses), Seven-Colored Flowing Light Array (Seven swords surround the user for defense, lasting 90 seconds, with a 120-second cooldown).
Seven-Colored Rainbow wasn't a single flying sword, but a sword box containing seven seven-colored flying swords of different colors!
As for the quality of Seven-Colored Rainbow...
The price of Seven-Colored Rainbow was thirty-eight million!
This price was definitely mid-to-upper tier, or even upper tier, among blue-quality items. After all, the lowest price for black-quality items was fifty million, and Seven-Colored Rainbow wasn't far off.
Of course, if only considering quality, Bai Ye would have chosen a black-quality weapon.
The reason Bai Ye chose Seven-Colored Rainbow was that it suited him.
Flying swords were indeed very useful. The Frost Condensing Sword was a mainstay weapon in Bai Ye's hands, capable of both ranged and close combat.
However, one Frost Condensing Sword was not enough.
When the sword was encased in frost, Bai Ye had no sword to use. When attacking with the sword, he also had no sword to use.
Bai Ye wasn't afraid of close combat because his T-virus-enhanced body was very strong, and the Five Elements Disk continuously boosted him. However, sometimes when the opponent had a weapon, Bai Ye was at a disadvantage fighting bare-handed.
Therefore, weapons were definitely needed.
But why use a flying sword if he could find a hand-held weapon?
It could be used for ranged attacks and also held in hand!
So, Bai Ye's thinking was very clear. After acquiring Seven-Colored Rainbow, Seven-Colored Rainbow would be the primary sword for remote attacks, and the Frost Condensing Sword would be the primary hand-held weapon. And when others thought the Frost Condensing Sword was just an ordinary flying sword, it would suddenly fly out...
Bai Ye couldn't help but smirk. It felt really good to be the "sixth player" (a term for someone who plays unexpectedly or slyly).
And after Seven-Colored Rainbow, it was Gengar!
Gengar, a shadow pet, possessed Ghost and Poison type attributes. Its body was round and plump, deep purple in color, with a pair of short legs and two short arms. It had blood-red eyes and a large mouth, pointed ears, and a very short tail with three rows of spikes on its back.
It looked a bit fierce, yet also a bit cute!
