The quality of the Gate of Babylon has been improved...
Nothing to say!
The effects of the Gate of Babylon remain unchanged; its quality improvement does not grant it any new abilities.
In essence, storing inscribed weapons within the Gate of Babylon is a form of enhancement for it.
The more weapons contained within the Gate of Babylon, the greater the power when they are launched.
Furthermore, with a sufficient quantity, the Gate of Babylon can perform rapid-fire volleys or cover a wider area.
The value of the Gate of Babylon itself lies in its ability to inscribe weapons, or it can be directly understood as a colossal storage space.
Therefore, to wield the Gate of Babylon on the level of Gilgamesh...
Bai Ye felt he had a long road ahead.
Of course, the quality upgrade is undoubtedly good news.
However, there is also bad news.
Nine gachas in three days, three designated golden gachas using God's Stone fragments, and not a single item suitable for the Steel Slime to devour.
This was truly an unfortunate turn of events, a complete waste of three God's Stone fragments.
Fortunately, that fellow Crow Maru provided Bai Ye with enough God's Stone fragments so that Bai Ye didn't feel too disheartened.
"Mr. Bai Ye!" Kamado Tanjiro stood on a hillside, suddenly turned back, and shouted loudly, interrupting Bai Ye's thoughts. He smiled and said, "We're almost there."
Looking out from the hillside, one could see an ancient town with a "Japanese style" ahead.
In fact, rather than the neutral zone being the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be more accurate to say that the ancient town *is* the neutral zone.
This is because ordinary chosen ones cannot enter the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps unless they become demon slayers themselves or obtain temporary qualifications.
However, since the ancient town has no name, and due to the presence of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, everyone simply calls this neutral zone the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
As for the characteristic of order in the neutral zone, undoubtedly, it is maintained by the demon slayers of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Kamado Tanjiro slid down the hillside and said, "In about half an hour, we'll be able to enter the town."
Bai Ye checked the time. Entering the town wasn't urgent. For Bai Ye, a more important matter was that the gacha machine's reset time was approaching again.
"Come, come, come..." Bai Ye called out to Kamado Tanjiro and the other two. "We're almost there, and there's no rush. Help me with something first."
Kamado Tanjiro asked curiously, "What do you need our help with, Mr. Bai Ye?"
Bai Ye tossed out the gacha machine and said, "Help me draw the gacha!"
Bai Ye had discovered that his notoriously bad luck was essentially beyond saving.
However, Bai Ye had also noticed something.
It seemed that every time he asked a native to help him draw the gacha, the results were quite good.
Although this was somewhat superstitious, as the gacha machine had no data indicating that drawing with the help of a native could increase the drop rate.
But Bai Ye felt that since he was beyond saving, he might as well trust in superstition.
Kamado Tanjiro and the other two looked at the gacha machine with curiosity; it was something beyond their comprehension.
Inosuke, even more curious, kicked the gacha machine and asked, "What is this?"
Bai Ye replied, "See this knob? Just turn it a few times with some force."
Agatsuma Zenitsu grabbed the knob and turned it with effort, asking, "Like this?"
A mechanical whirring sound came from inside the gacha machine, and then...
A white capsule "plop" soundlessly dropped out of the machine.
Agatsuma Zenitsu exclaimed in surprise, "Is there someone inside this box? It's throwing things out!"
Bai Ye glanced at Agatsuma Zenitsu with disdain. Someone inside? What nonsense, you unlucky fellow!
Bai Ye immediately categorized Agatsuma Zenitsu as an unlucky person like himself.
No, this guy was even more unlucky than him.
After all, the most common capsules from the gacha machine were not white, but green and blue. The probability of getting white was third, not far from the probability of getting black capsules.
Therefore, without extreme bad luck, it wasn't easy to get a blank slate in one try.
At the same time, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel sorrowful for himself, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, almost weeping.
Could it be...
That even superstition couldn't save misfortune?
Just then, Inosuke excitedly approached the gacha machine, "Me, me, let me do it."
Inosuke's breathing technique was violent, and his method of turning the gacha knob was equally brutal. He spun it with all his might, and then...
A burst of red light suddenly bloomed.
Bai Ye's eyes instantly lit up.
A red capsule!
The heavens still favored him after all.
Snow Drink Divine Saber (Weapon) (Red): Forged from the coldest matter in the world, the remaining dew from Nuwa mending the heavens, it is the heirloom saber of Feng Shen Nie Feng's family. This saber is both a peerless good weapon and the saber manual for the supreme martial art, Arrogant Cold Art.
Effect: Six Styles of Arrogant Cold.
First Style: Chilling Glance.
Second Style: Frozen Three Feet.
Third Style: Red Apricots Out of the Wall.
Fourth Style: Peach Blossoms Blooming.
Fifth Style: Treading Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms.
Sixth Style: Cold Blade, Icy Heart.
A red quality weapon, originating from a Wuxia world, the saber manual and saber are integrated. Most importantly...
This item can be inscribed into the Gate of Babylon and can also be devoured by the Steel Slime.
A good item!
As expected, superstition works. Agatsuma Zenitsu's white capsule was just an anomaly; the main reason was how incredibly unlucky he was.
If he could barely be considered an African, then Agatsuma Zenitsu was a sub-Saharan African!
Bai Ye couldn't help but rub his hands and said to Kamado Tanjiro, "You try one too."
Kamado Tanjiro nodded with a smile and slowly turned the knob, and then golden brilliance emerged.
A golden capsule was not surprising.
Bai Ye had used God's Stone fragments to specifically aim for a golden capsule, after all. What was important was what Kamado Tanjiro would draw.
And then...
When the golden capsule was opened by Kamado Tanjiro, Bai Ye instantly gasped.
