In that moment, Bai Ye felt completely numb.
However, there was still one designated golden Gashapon, and Bai Ye prayed it wouldn't cause any trouble. At the very least, it had to be something the Steel Slime could absorb.
Just as Bai Ye was about to draw from the golden Gashapon.
"The Holy Grail has appeared!"
"Holy Grail Location: The Garden of Avalon."
"The Holy Grail War will end in 24 hours. The one who ultimately holds the Holy Grail will be the victor."
The glowing screen suddenly appeared, announcing the location of the Holy Grail.
At the same time...
A noisy commotion came from the television.
The reporter broadcasting live exclaimed in shock and then ran towards the Garden of Avalon.
The Garden of Avalon, which had always floated quietly above Fuyuki City, now suddenly erupted with a vast expanse of golden light.
The light flowed continuously in the air, like a golden aurora.
"Holy crap!"
Bai Ye stared for half a minute, then couldn't help but curse.
He had guessed right!
The other party was intentionally creating a diversion, using this method to keep everyone inactive and complete the Garden of Avalon.
As for how they would lure people into the Garden of Avalon after its completion, the answer was now apparent.
The Holy Grail was inside the Garden of Avalon. Would you go in?
If not, in 24 hours, the Holy Grail would belong to the other party!
At the same time...
Gilgamesh suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye, looking at the television screen and saying, "We should go!"
"I told you, at least give a heads-up when you appear," Bai Ye patted his chest and said, "By the way, help me draw a Gashapon."
Gilgamesh looked at Bai Ye with confusion. "What?"
Bai Ye pointed at the Gashapon machine. "Look at this position, just turn it."
Gilgamesh, not understanding, still casually turned the Gashapon machine.
The next instant...
The Gashapon machine burst with golden light!
As the machine whirred, a golden Gashapon dropped out.
Bai Ye’s mouth hung open, staring at Gilgamesh in astonishment. "Are you kidding me? One casual pull is golden?"
Gilgamesh asked, "Is it good?"
Bai Ye replied, "Except for some special circumstances, it should be the best."
"Naturally," Gilgamesh nodded. "This King rules over the Golden Rule, his life is surrounded by fortune, and all treasures in the world will follow this King."
Bai Ye almost spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Gilgamesh with a resentful gaze. "You should have said so earlier!"
If he had known, he would have had Gilgamesh help him draw Gashapons all along. The Steel Slime wouldn't have been black quality, it might have been red quality by now, and he might not even have needed to spend Divine Stone fragments.
Gilgamesh said, "You didn't ask!"
Bai Ye was speechless, and indeed didn't know how to refute him.
"Hurry up!" Gilgamesh urged. "We need to go!"
"Coming right up!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he picked up the golden Gashapon and opened it...
He was even more speechless!
The Golden Rule was not just bragging. Not only did it produce gold on the first try, but it was the best possible quality.
Xuanyuan Sword (Xianjian) (Gold): One of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of antiquity, legend has it that it was bestowed by the Heavenly Realm to Emperor Xuanyuan to slay Chi You, and it is on par with the Eastern Emperor Bell, Pangu Axe, Demon Refining Pot, Haotian Tower, Fuxi Qin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone.
Effects: Golden Sword Qi (The Xuanyuan Sword unleashes golden sword qi that can cleave all things in the world.)
The Great Dao Sword (Conjures a giant phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword to attack.)
Slay Demons and Exorcise Evils (The Xuanyuan Sword can suppress all evil spirits in the world. When facing evil entities, the Xuanyuan Sword's damage is doubled.)
Sky Shattering Strike (A sword that breaks through the void, striking enemies across space.)
All Under Heaven Returns to the Yuan (The Xuanyuan Sword gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash the strongest sword strike in the world. After the convergence of all under heaven, the Xuanyuan Sword needs to slumber for a period of time.)
...
Xuanyuan Sword, old friend!
What's the point of fighting anymore?
The game is over!
Time to go home, everyone can go home!
Bai Ye shouted, feeding the Xuanyuan Sword to the Steel Slime, and then...
The Steel Slime evolved!
Steel Slime (Item) (Black): A very rare mutated slime that can devour anything and then transform, fusing the characteristics of the devoured object for its own use.
Effects: Devour (As it continuously devours, the Steel Slime's magic power will strengthen, thus improving its quality.)
Condense (The Steel Slime can condense any devoured item.)
Steal (By making contact with an enemy, it can copy one of the enemy's items and perfectly condense it. The effective time is 12 hours. To steal again, the previous steal must be released, or 12 hours must pass.)
Synthesize (It can combine two items into one, forming a more powerful item. The effective time is 24 hours. To synthesize again, the previous synthesis must be released, or 24 hours must pass.)
Enhance (All items condensed by the Steel Slime will have all its effects enhanced by 10%, or one specified effect can be enhanced by 25%. To re-enhance, the previous enhancement must be released, or 6 hours must pass.)
Condensable Items...
...
The Steel Slime has finally risen, it's finally awesome!
Synthesis plus enhancement can directly elevate an item by a whole tier!
For Bai Ye, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Bai Ye decided that the next time he met Jin Sha, he would strip himself naked and repay the favor with his own body.
However, there was also something quite frightening.
The Steel Slime went from black quality to red quality...
Steel Slime, Growth Value: 50309 / 500000
The Xuanyuan Sword was truly formidable. One item was equivalent to eight, directly providing over 80,000 growth value, instantly pushing the Steel Slime to black quality.
But, the next upgrade...
Although it didn't require adding a zero as Bai Ye had imagined, ...
A growth cap of 500,000...
Bai Ye felt his hands trembling.
Calculating based on the usual situation where typical gold-quality items provide about 10,000 to 15,000 growth value, it would take about a month and more than thirty Divine Stone fragments.
Although Bai Ye had quite a few Divine Stone fragments in hand, this was still too much of a waste.
And this didn't even account for unlucky times when he encountered martial arts, abilities, dao techniques, sword skills, genetic modifications, or the like that were simply impossible to devour.
Bai Ye looked eagerly at Gilgamesh.
Bai Ye felt that for the Steel Slime to reach red quality, it would need one Gilgamesh!
This was the man who could achieve a golden quality with a single casual pull!
Gilgamesh, however, looked impatient and urged, "Are you going or not!"
"Going, going, going!" Bai Ye put away the Gashapon machine and waved, "You deal with the Heroic Spirits, I'll deal with the Masters, let's kick their asses!"
With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Bai Ye was full of confidence!
