Bai Ye lay on the rooftop of a building, surrounded by white mist.
The demonic blade, Bloodthirst, could indeed restore injuries and stamina by absorbing blood through killing, but its recovery speed wasn't fast. Moreover, engaging in combat while injured might attract new troubles, creating a vicious cycle.
Thus, Bai Ye chose to spend some time recovering in the warm mist.
While recuperating, Bai Ye glanced at the status screen.
His sin value had risen to 515 points: 130 from robbing a bank, 100 from completing a mission, and the remaining 65 from killing Adam.
"Over 500 points," Bai Ye grinned. "That guy should be coming for me by now!"
Simply accumulating sin value to 1000 wouldn't be too difficult. Even by committing simple wicked deeds, one could max out their sin value if they were willing to spend enough time.
Therefore, there was a surprise: once the sin value exceeded five hundred, the hero of the City of Sin would seek him out.
Of course, for Bai Ye, it wasn't much of a surprise. Having visited the City of Sin in his previous life, Bai Ye naturally knew the ropes.
However, Bai Ye was confident he hadn't left too many clues, so the other party shouldn't find him easily.
What gave Bai Ye a bit of a headache was something else.
Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid (Item) (Blue): A gene-altering fluid that could strengthen the body by changing gene sequences. Upon consumption, random attributes would increase by 5-30 points. There was a 50% chance of unlocking the first gene gate; failure would result in side effects from gene sequence recombination.
This could be considered another version of the T-virus. Consuming it would randomly boost physical attributes by 5 to 30 points, but the catch was the fifty-fifty chance of failing to unlock the first gene gate, leading to side effects.
Successful unlocking of the gene gate was obvious. Bai Ye had witnessed Adam's state after he unlocked his.
Furthermore, unlocking the gene gate likely involved more than just physical attribute enhancement. Adam's mention of the sixth, seventh, and eighth senses clearly indicated latent improvements. The noticeable reduction in pain was also highly beneficial for combat, and there might be other unrevealed enhancements.
The problem was, if it failed, not only would the gene gate remain locked, but there would also be side effects!
The coexistence of risk and reward left Bai Ye in a dilemma.
However, Bai Ye didn't need to make a decision yet. Before leaving the City of Sin, Bai Ye certainly wouldn't risk consuming it. Who knew what the side effects would be? He definitely needed to take the Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid in a relatively safe environment.
While contemplating, Bai Ye tossed out the gachapon machine.
With nothing else to do, he decided to try his luck with the gachapon, as the reset time had already passed.
Bai Ye casually grabbed the gachapon machine's crank and turned it. The machine whirred to life, and then a blue capsule dropped out.
"Truly no surprise at all."
Bai Ye sighed, grabbed the capsule, and tapped it on the ground. It cracked open.
Rokushiki: Soru (Martial Art) (Blue): The first of the Six Powers mastered by the Navy's secret forces, known as Soru. In an instant (0.36 seconds), it generates explosive recoil by rapidly stomping the ground dozens of times, allowing for high-speed movement. To observers, it appears as if the user has suddenly vanished. Note: Using Soru requires a Speed attribute of 100 or higher.
Mobility?
Bai Ye glanced at his Speed attribute, which had already surpassed 100. So, there was no problem; it would be ridiculous if he couldn't use it.
Bai Ye spun the gachapon machine again, and then...
"Huh?" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Did Ziyuan share her good luck with me?"
The second capsule that dropped was...
Black!
While not as absurdly powerful as Ziyuan's one-shot red capsule, a black capsule was still good. It wasn't exceptionally rare, but it wasn't something you'd get from an everyday pull either.
However...
Although it was black, apart from the color, Bai Ye felt a bit unlucky.
Because the item he drew was something he was already very familiar with.
Charged Plasma Cannon (Weapon) (Black): A basic energy weapon of the alien civilization, the Predators. It can fire once every three seconds of charge. After every fifteen shots, it requires a five-minute cooldown due to overheating. Infrared targeting can be used to improve accuracy.
The Predator plasma cannon, and even the version Bai Ye had obtained before, were identical. It was the most basic charged version.
Bai Ye was speechless. "You could have given me a rapid-fire or splash damage high-spec version!"
But, on second thought, it was acceptable. At least it wasn't the troublesome dual pulse pistols again, which were even worse.
Moreover, Bai Ye was actually hesitant to use the pulse pistols, or more accurately, he needed to conserve them. Once their energy cells were depleted, they became mere scrap metal. While energy cells weren't rare and were relatively easy to obtain, they could only be acquired in the technological world zones, which Bai Ye couldn't access anytime soon.
Therefore, since he couldn't get them easily, he had to use them sparingly. Having a Predator shoulder cannon to use for now wasn't too bad.
While thinking, Bai Ye set the plasma cannon aside and then spent a God Stone Fragment, saying, "Gold!"
Bai Ye felt there was no need to save this God Stone Fragment. He definitely wouldn't be able to leave the City of Sin anytime soon, and powerful individuals like Adam existed. Furthermore, with his sin value exceeding 500, a troublesome individual was bound to appear.
Besides, having obtained two God Stone Fragments after defeating Adam, Bai Ye felt it was fine to be a bit generous. He wasn't losing out anyway.
A moment later, as the machine whirred, a golden capsule rolled out, and a brilliant golden radiance instantly filled the surroundings.
Then...
Bai Ye casually scooped the capsule out of the machine and then pried it open. Following that...
As the golden capsule opened with a flash of golden light, a massive roulette wheel appeared before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye froze for a moment, then said speechlessly, "How did I get this thing?"
The golden roulette wheel before him was something Bai Ye was very familiar with, after all...
That golden roulette wheel and the gachapon machine in his hand were from the same series!
