In that moment, Bai Ye felt his entire body go numb.
However, there was still one designated golden gashapon capsule. Bai Ye prayed it wouldn't cause any trouble, and at the very least, would be something the Steel Slime could absorb.
Just as Bai Ye was about to draw the golden capsule.
"The Holy Grail has appeared!"
"Holy Grail Location: The Sky Garden of Vanity."
"The Holy Grail War will end in 24 hours. The final holder of the Holy Grail will be the victor of the Holy Grail War."
The luminous screen suddenly appeared and announced the location of the Holy Grail.
At the same time...
A cacophony of noise erupted from the television.
Reporters on the scene exclaimed in surprise and then ran towards the direction of the Sky Garden.
The Sky Garden, which had always floated silently above Fuyuki City, now radiated a vast expanse of golden light.
The light flowed continuously in the sky, like a golden aurora.
"Holy crap!"
Bai Ye stared blankly for half a minute before involuntarily cursing.
He had guessed right!
The other party had deliberately created a diversion, intending to use this method to keep everyone inactive and complete the Sky Garden.
As for how they would lure everyone into the Sky Garden after its completion, the answer was now apparent.
The Holy Grail was within the Sky Garden. Would you go?
If not, in 24 hours, the Holy Grail would belong to the enemy!
At the same time...
Gilgamesh suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye and said, looking at the television screen, "We should depart!"
"I told you, at least give a warning when you appear," Bai Ye patted his chest and then said, "Right, help me draw a capsule."
Gilgamesh looked at Bai Ye with confusion. "What?"
Bai Ye pointed at the gashapon machine. "Look at this position, just give it a turn."
Gilgamesh, not understanding the reason, still casually turned the gashapon machine.
The next instant...
A brilliant golden light erupted from the gashapon machine!
As the machine spun, a golden capsule dropped out.
Bai Ye's mouth hung open, and he stared at Gilgamesh in astonishment. "Are you kidding me? A random 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 controls the Golden Rule, and all treasures in the world will follow this King."
Bai Ye almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and looked at Gilgamesh resentfully. "You should have said so earlier!"
If he had known, he would have let Gilgamesh draw gashapon capsules for him all along. The Steel Slime might not have been black quality by now, perhaps even red quality, and he might not have needed to spend Divine Stone fragments.
Gilgamesh stated, "You didn't ask!"
Bai Ye was speechless. He truly didn't know how to retort.
"Hurry up!" Gilgamesh urged, "We have to go!"
"Coming right up!"
As Bai Ye spoke, he picked up the golden capsule and opened it...
He was even more speechless!
The Golden Rule truly wasn't just bragging. Not only was it golden upon appearance, but it was the very best.
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. It is renowned alongside the Eastern Emperor Bell, Pangu Axe, Demon Refining Pot, Haotian Tower, Fuxi Zither, Shennong Cauldron, Kongtong Seal, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone.
Effects: Golden Sword Qi (The Xuanyuan Sword unleashes golden sword qi that can sever all things in the world.)
The Sword of the Great Dao (Conjures a massive phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword for attack.)
Slaying Demons and Exorcising Ghosts (The Xuanyuan Sword can suppress all evil spirits in the world. Against such beings, its damage is doubled.)
Void Breaking Slash (A sword that shatters the void, attacking across distances.)
Harmony of Heaven and Earth (The Xuanyuan Sword gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash the strongest sword strike. After Harmony of Heaven and Earth, the Xuanyuan Sword requires a period of slumber.)
...
Xuanyuan Sword, an old friend!
What's the point of fighting now?
The game is over!
Let's 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, after fusing the properties of the devoured object, transform to use those objects.
Effects: Devour (With continuous devouring, the Steel Slime's magic will grow stronger, thereby increasing its quality.)
Condensation (The Steel Slime can condense any devoured item.)
Steal (Through contact with an enemy, it can copy one of the enemy's items and perfectly condense it. The effect lasts for 12 hours. To steal again, the previous steal must be dismissed, or 12 hours must pass.)
Synthesis (It can combine two items into one, forming a more powerful item. The effect lasts for 24 hours. To synthesize again, the previous synthesis must be dismissed, or 24 hours must pass.)
Enhancement (All items condensed by the Steel Slime will have all their effects enhanced by 10%, or one specific effect enhanced by 25%. To re-enhance, the previous enhancement must be dismissed, or 6 hours must pass.)
Condensable Items...
...
The Steel Slime has finally risen, it's finally awesome!
Synthesis plus enhancement, it can completely elevate an item by a notch!
For Bai Ye, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Bai Ye decided that if he ever met Jin Sha again, he would strip himself naked and repay her kindness with his body.
However, there was also something quite daunting.
The Steel Slime advanced from black quality to red quality...
Steel Slime, Growth Value: 50309 / 500000
The Xuanyuan Sword was truly ferocious, equivalent to eight items, directly providing over 80,000 growth value, instantly elevating the Steel Slime to black quality.
But for the next upgrade...
Although it didn't require adding a zero as Bai Ye had imagined, the limit of 500,000 growth value...
Bai Ye felt his hands tremble.
Based on the usual calculation, where a typical golden quality item provides 10,000 to 15,000 growth value, it would take more than a month and over thirty Divine Stone fragments.
Bai Ye had quite a few Divine Stone fragments in his hand, but this was not how he wanted to waste them.
And this didn't even account for unlucky draws, such as martial arts, special abilities, Taoist magic, sword techniques, or genetic modifications that couldn't be devoured at all.
Bai Ye looked at Gilgamesh expectantly.
Bai Ye felt that for the Steel Slime to reach red quality, it would need one Gilgamesh!
This was the man who could achieve golden quality with a single casual pull!
Gilgamesh, on the other hand, looked impatient and urged, "Are you coming or not!"
"Going, going, going!" Bai Ye put away the gashapon machine and waved his hand. "You deal with the heroic spirits, I'll deal with the Masters, let's kick some ass!"
With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Bai Ye was full of confidence!
