Bai Ye quickly understood Gao Ming’s line of thought.
Items of red quality should naturally be exchanged for items of red quality. However, information about the forbidden zone was different.
The Evil Spirit Group had paid with Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo. The combination of the two swords was equivalent to a red quality item, yet the Evil Spirit Group, armed with the information provided by Bai Ye, had reaped twenty to thirty future technology items of black quality.
There were even some low-quality add-ons.
The total value was definitely higher than a single red quality item, it was just that the Evil Spirit Group had to find ways to acquire the goods themselves.
However, the Evil Spirit Group was not short of people; manpower was the cheapest thing for them. In fact, aside from items, they could also acquire fragments of Divine Stones.
Currently, Gao Ming still wanted to maintain this mode of transaction, but hoped to raise the value of what could be obtained.
A large number of black quality items guaranteed the baseline strength of the Evil Spirit Group members. Now, Gao Ming intended to raise the ceiling.
Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but are you prepared? To be frank, now is not the time."
Gao Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Our expansion speed has been quite fast recently, and we already have quite a few people. However, we cannot rule out some people who are just trying to blend in. It is still necessary to weed out the dross."
Sometimes, talking to intelligent people was very pleasant. Gao Ming immediately understood Bai Ye's meaning—people had to die!
To obtain red quality items, at this stage, naturally, people would have to die, and not a small number of them.
If human lives were treated as goods, then this was clearly a transaction with poor cost-effectiveness.
However, Gao Ming had clearly thought it through before coming to Bai Ye.
Dead people were acceptable.
The dead represented the weak, and the living represented the better.
This would make the Evil Spirit Group more elite.
It was brutal, but this was indeed the inevitable path to becoming powerful.
Bai Ye said, "Alright, what are you planning to exchange? I will have to decide the value of the information based on what you offer."
Gao Ming said, "A red quality dual-wielding firearm, the demon-breaking Red Rose!"
Bai Ye said, "Did Death Football get that for you?"
"Huh?" Gao Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "You know about it."
Bai Ye said, "I already have Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo, and a red quality lightsaber. Do you think I'm short of weapons? Can you offer something more practical?"
Gao Ming thought for a moment and said, "Do you know about the Gene Gate?"
"Oh?" Bai Ye said, "I actually do. It's a concept from a biotechnology civilization world, stating that humans have eight Gene Gates, and the opening of each Gene Gate is a excavation of one's potential."
Gao Ming said, "I have gene cell modification fluid from that world, a total of three bottles, all of intermediate grade and black quality."
Bai Ye said, "Black quality?"
Gao Ming said, "Bai Ye, you should understand that although the quality is black, all capable people know that no equipment can compare to the improvement of one's own abilities. Only one's own strength is true strength, and the power derived from it is one's own."
"Therefore, although it is black quality, it is definitely no less valuable than Jing Lei Zi Dian and Yan Huang Fei Huo. Also, I can add an extra bottle of gene cell restoration fluid to eliminate the side effects after a failed Gene Gate opening."
"Be reasonable, don't just talk about quality. This is definitely a good thing."
Bai Ye thought for a moment and said, "Alright, firstly, regarding the Primordial Domain, I will not only provide intelligence, but I will also give you the item to open the Primordial Domain. There, as a forbidden zone, you can obtain red quality items, two black quality items, and forty Divine Stone fragments."
"In addition, the most important thing is that after the forbidden zone in the Primordial Domain ends, it will become a dangerous area, where you can obtain a large number of black quality items and two hidden quests, both with red quality rewards."
Gao Ming nodded and said, "And then?"
Bai Ye said, "That's not enough? Hey, Gao Ming, don't treat me like an idiot. I admit that things that enhance oneself cannot be measured by simple quality, but opening the Gene Gate can fail. Your three bottles of potion might open three gates if you're lucky, but if you're unlucky, you might not open any, and I'll have to bear the side effects."
Gao Ming thought for a moment and said, "I have other good things. Oh, and I also have some leads regarding the matter you asked me to investigate."
Bai Ye said, "Liu Shi Yue?"
Gao Ming said, "Yes!"
Bai Ye chuckled, "You can choose not to say, but I think your Evil Spirit Group would very much like to see the Hidden Dragon Society lose a vice president."
Gao Ming sighed, "Alright, our leader has two more items for me as exchange. One of them is the item Undying Flame."
"Oh?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I needed this?"
"I don't have absolute certainty," Gao Ming said with a smile. "I've seen you fight. The flames you use are unusual; they take the shape of phoenix tail feathers when they explode. Coincidentally, I obtained this item a while ago and associated it with the phoenix tail feather-shaped flames, so I tried asking you."
"Not bad, I'm very tempted," Bai Ye said. "However, it's just a small item, not quite enough."
Gao Ming said, "There is also an ability, which is of black quality, but don't be in a hurry. This ability, like your Phoenix ability, can be upgraded, and can reach gold quality at its highest. Its name is Mechanical Reconstruction..."
*Crack!*
Bai Ye was currently in the hunting grounds, eating and drinking a little wine.
When he heard the words "Mechanical Reconstruction," Bai Ye's eyes widened instantly, and the wine glass in his hand dropped, shattering on the ground.
The boss looked up at Bai Ye, then went back to his work, saying lightly, "Remember to pay for it."
Bai Ye didn't care about paying or not. At this moment, all that was in Bai Ye's mind were those four words...
Mechanical Reconstruction!
No one was more familiar with this ability than Bai Ye!
Because this was Bai Ye's strongest ability in his previous life.
Back then, in addition to the title "Twin Whites of the East District," Bai Ye was also known as "An Army of One," the fundamental reason being his Mechanical Reconstruction ability.
In fact, Bai Ye's gradual growth from a weakling to a top-tier master in his previous life was not due to the gashapon machine.
It was because of the Mechanical Reconstruction ability.
Before acquiring Mechanical Reconstruction, Bai Ye was at best a third-rate fighter. After acquiring the ability, Bai Ye leaped to become a first-rate fighter, and by upgrading his Mechanical Reconstruction ability to gold quality, he reached the super-first-rate level.
Even the gashapon machine was acquired by Bai Ye because of this; otherwise, Bai Ye would not have had the qualifications to contend for it.
And now, the Mechanical Reconstruction ability had reappeared before his eyes.
