Two days later, it was the appointed time.
The androids from the slum would launch an attack together with the androids from the affluent district. The core issue was how to get through the roadblock.
That high wall was not easily overcome, but the androids from the affluent district were willing to provide support. With a coordinated effort from both sides, the hope of breaking through that high wall greatly increased.
Bai Ye's task was to wait.
Allen had already approached Bai Ye, hoping he would participate. Bai Ye had no reason to refuse, because...
"You have received a hidden quest."
"Accept Allen's request to defeat Rhine Company. Quest Reward: Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon x1"
"Android faction death rate below 30%, additional quest reward: Madman Type II Robot System x1"
"Android faction death rate below 20%, additional quest reward: Wish Stone x1"
...
The hidden quest Bai Ye had been waiting for had finally arrived. The Wish Stone was the key to unlocking the wish quest, and it was Bai Ye's objective in coming to Ruin City.
At the same time, the Nightmare Gate was also quite a powerful item, ranking among the upper-middle tier for red quality. However, its drawback was that it was a siege weapon, or a defensive weapon.
It wasn't impossible for an individual to use, but the limitations were too great, making it practically unusable.
However, Gao Ming would likely love this thing, and Bai Ye thought he could extort a good price from him.
But Bai Ye didn't plan to give it to the Evil Spirit Group for now. Instead, he would have Yimi take it to the Hidden Dragon Society. This item, as a stepping stone for Yimi to join the Hidden Dragon Society, would undoubtedly ensure Yimi received significant attention upon joining.
This item was perfectly suited for major powers, as they inevitably required strongholds, and this item fit the defense of a stronghold perfectly.
As for the Madman Type II Robot System, though an additional reward, Bai Ye didn't hold much interest. It was used in robot manufacturing, similar to super-grade items. Having just the system was useless; one also needed robot blueprints and the ability to fabricate them.
Thinking this, Bai Ye checked the time and then brought out the gacha machine.
Coincidentally, the attack was scheduled for midnight. Bai Ye planned to draw a gacha once and then depart.
Bai Ye swiftly spun the gacha machine, and then...
A new day, and the only constant was misfortune.
The first gacha turned out to be a white egg.
The good news was a white-quality ancient sword from the martial arts region. At least it could be recorded into the Gate of Babylon. The Steel Slime could also eat it, serving as a light appetizer.
Then, the second gacha...
Six Styles: Finger Pistol (Martial Arts) (Blue): The third style of the Six Styles of body techniques mastered by the Navy's secret forces...
It looked familiar. Bai Ye recalled that he had drawn it before, but at that time, he had gotten the first style of the Six Styles, called Soru, a very potent movement ability.
But Finger Pistol...
It was a close-combat technique that could swiftly pierce targets with the fingers, its speed and power akin to a bullet.
Bai Ye couldn't help but grumble, "Couldn't I just use a handgun then?"
But for a blue-quality item, Bai Ye couldn't ask for too much. With his current strength, blue-quality items, unless they possessed unique properties, were merely chicken ribs for him in terms of pure offensive and defensive capabilities.
With a sigh, Bai Ye designated the third gacha as a golden gacha.
After two consecutive disappointing draws, Bai Ye was pinning his hopes on the final golden gacha to be more impactful, and then...
"Indeed, when one is down on their luck for too long, they are bound to have a few moments of triumph!"
Kongtong Seal (Magic Treasure) (Gold): The guardian artifact of the Undying Dragon Tribe of Kongtong Sea, engraved with the visages of the Five Celestial Emperors and surrounded by coiled jade dragons. It has been passed down since ancient times that whoever obtains the Kongtong Seal can rule the world. Legends also say the Kongtong Seal can grant immortality, leading countless alchemists to search for it overseas, only to embark on a path of no return.
Effect: Imperial Seal Descends (Transforms into a colossal golden seal and smashes towards the ground)
Imperial Authority (Magic treasures other than the Top Ten Ancient Artifacts will have their effectiveness reduced by 25% when facing the Kongtong Seal)
Jade Dragon Soars (Releases the jade dragon from the Kongtong Seal to attack. Duration: 5 minutes. Cooldown: 60 minutes)
Five Emperors and Four Directions Rule (Summons the power of the Five Emperors from the Kongtong Seal, granting the power of a true Son of Heaven for a brief period. Duration determined by the user's spiritual power. Cooldown: 360 hours)
Eternal Life and Immortality (The wielder of the Kongtong Seal will never age, and upon death, can revive once, with all negative status effects removed and stamina restored to its peak state)
...
The "friend" of the Xuanyuan Sword had appeared.
The Kongtong Seal, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts of China!
There was no need to elaborate on its power; it was on the same level as the Xuanyuan Sword. Furthermore, even after the Steel Slime devoured it, although it would disappear upon the end of its usage time, its growth value would be substantial!
"Steel Slime devoured the Kongtong Seal and gained devouring growth."
"Steel Slime devouring growth, current growth value: 471200/500000"
After the Steel Slime devoured the Kongtong Seal, it was less than thirty thousand away from reaching fifty thousand growth value. Red quality was within reach.
What was regrettable was that supreme treasures like the Kongtong Seal could not be recorded into the Gate of Babylon, as the Kongtong Seal was a magic treasure, not a weapon.
But regardless, Bai Ye was quite satisfied with his last draw, which signified a turn of luck.
Then Bai Ye glanced at the time; it was almost time to depart.
Bai Ye walked out of the dilapidated ruin, heading down the street.
And then...
RUMBLE!
Bai Ye hadn't walked far when a tremendous roar of thunderous sound caught his attention.
Bai Ye looked up towards the distance.
Large swathes of fire erupted, and thick black smoke rose into the sky before slowly dissipating.
The battle had begun!
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, and then...
SWISH!
Bai Ye's figure flickered, and he suddenly vanished from his original spot.
When Bai Ye reappeared, he was already standing before the high wall separating the slum from the affluent district.
As expected, the androids had launched their attack, preparing to break into the affluent district.
Bai Ye even spotted a familiar figure among them.
Ji Ruyue stood atop a truck, with Gunsalas holding a Vulcan Gatling gun by her side. She roared as she strode forward.
"Little ones, charge with me!"
Gunsalas bellowed, advancing like a human tank.
At the same time...
Yimi emerged from the shadows and approached Bai Ye.
"It's indeed quite lively," Yimi said, looking at the scene ahead. "After tonight, the power dynamics of Ruin City will be reshuffled. But what does that have to do with us? What are you calling me over to see?"
Bai Ye curled his lips and suddenly smiled.
"Me!"
