Bai Ye lay on the rooftop of a building, surrounded by white mist.
Although the renowned blood-drinking sword, Shi Xue, could recover injuries and stamina by killing and absorbing blood, its recovery speed was not particularly fast. Furthermore, engaging in combat while injured might attract new troubles, ultimately forming a vicious cycle.
Therefore, Bai Ye chose to spend some time utilizing the warm mist for continuous recovery.
While recovering, Bai Ye checked the screen.
His sin value had risen to 515 points. Robbing the bank had yielded 130, completing a mission gave 100, and the remaining 65 were from killing Adam.
"Over 500 points..." Bai Ye grinned. "That guy should be coming for me by now!"
Simply accumulating sin value to 1000 was not an overly difficult task. Even by committing simple acts of evil, one could eventually max out their sin value with enough time.
Thus, there was a surprise: once the maximum sin value surpassed five hundred, the hero from the City of Sin would come looking.
Of course, for Bai Ye, it wasn't much of a surprise. Having visited the City of Sin in his previous life, Bai Ye was well aware of its workings.
However, Bai Ye was confident that he hadn't left too many clues, so the other party shouldn't be able to find him easily.
What gave Bai Ye a headache was another item.
Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid (Item) (Blue): A gene fluid that strengthens the body by altering gene sequencing. Upon consumption, all physical attributes are randomly increased by 5-30 points, with a 50% chance of unlocking the first gene gate. If the attempt to unlock the first gene gate fails, there will be side effects from gene sequencing recombination.
This item could be understood as another version of the T-virus. Consuming it could randomly increase physical attributes by 5 to 30 points, but the catch was the subsequent 50% chance of failure in unlocking the first gene gate.
If the gene gate was successfully unlocked, there was no need to elaborate; Bai Ye had personally witnessed Adam's state after unlocking his gene gate.
Moreover, unlocking gene gates likely involved more than just physical attribute enhancements. The sixth, seventh, and eighth senses Adam mentioned were clearly hidden improvements. Additionally, the noticeable reduction in pain was highly beneficial for combat, and there might be other unknown benefits as well.
The problem, however, was that if it failed, not only would the gene gate remain locked, but one would also suffer side effects!
The coexistence of risk and reward left Bai Ye in a dilemma.
However, Bai Ye did not need to make a decision for the time being. He certainly wouldn't risk consuming it before leaving the City of Sin. After all, who knew what the side effects would be? He would definitely consume the Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid in a relatively safe environment.
While thinking, Bai Ye tossed out the gacha machine.
Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to try his luck with the gacha machine; it was past the reset time anyway.
Bai Ye casually grabbed the gacha 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 against the ground. The capsule split open as expected.
Rokushiki: Soru (Martial Art) (Blue): The first technique of the Six Powers mastered by the Navy's secret forces, known as Soru. In an instant (0.36 seconds), by rapidly stomping the ground dozens of times, it generates an explosive reactive force to achieve high-speed movement. To the observer, 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; it had already surpassed 100 points, so there was no issue. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if he couldn't use it.
Bai Ye casually turned the gacha machine again, and then...
"Huh?" Bai Ye exclaimed. "Did Ziyuan share her good luck with me?"
The second capsule that came out was...
Black!
Although not as monstrous as Ziyuan's one-shot red capsule, a black capsule was still good. It couldn't be considered extremely rare, but it wasn't something one could get every day.
However...
It was black, but aside from the color, Bai Ye felt a bit unlucky.
Because the item he pulled out was something he was already very familiar with.
Charged Plasma Cannon (Weapon) (Black): The basic energy weapon of the alien civilization, the Predator. It can fire once after charging for three seconds. After every fifteen shots, it requires a five-minute cooldown due to high-temperature overload. Infrared targeting assistance can be used to improve accuracy.
The Predator's plasma cannon, and it was even the same basic charged version as the one Bai Ye had previously obtained.
Bai Ye was speechless. "You could have given me a rapid-fire or a splash damage version, a high-spec one!"
However, thinking about it, it wasn't too bad. 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, Bai Ye needed to use them sparingly. Once the energy cells were depleted, they would just be two pieces of scrap metal. While energy cells themselves weren't rare and were easy to obtain, they had to be acquired from the technology world zone, and Bai Ye couldn't just go there anytime soon.
Therefore, since he couldn't get them anytime soon, he had to use them conservatively. Having a Predator shoulder cannon to use for now was still decent.
Bai Ye thought to himself, placed the plasma cannon aside, and then spent a divine stone fragment, saying, "Gold!"
He felt there was no need to save this divine stone fragment. He wouldn't be able to leave the City of Sin in the short term, and there were powerful individuals like Adam. Furthermore, with his sin value exceeding 500 points, a troublesome individual was expected to appear.
Besides, having obtained two divine stone fragments by defeating Adam, Bai Ye felt it was fine to be generous. He wasn't at a loss anyway.
Moments later, accompanied by the machine's rotation, a golden capsule rolled out, and a golden radiance instantly emanated from its surroundings.
Then...
Bai Ye casually retrieved the capsule from the machine and then pried it open, and then...
As the golden capsule opened, accompanied by a flash of golden light, a giant roulette wheel appeared before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye froze for a moment, then said speechlessly, "How did this thing get spun out?"
The golden roulette wheel before him was something Bai Ye was very familiar with because...
That golden roulette wheel was from the same series as the gacha machine he held!
