In that instant, Bai Ye felt his entire being go numb.
However, there was still a designated golden gashapon, and Bai Ye prayed that it wouldn't cause any trouble. At the very least, it had to be something the Steel Slime could absorb.
And just as Bai Ye was about to draw from the golden gashapon.
"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 light screen suddenly appeared, announcing the location of the Holy Grail.
At the same time...
A cacophony of noise came from the television.
The reporter on-site exclaimed in surprise and then ran towards the Sky Garden.
The Sky Garden, which had been quietly floating above Fuyuki City, suddenly bloomed with a vast expanse of golden radiance.
The radiance flowed continuously in the air, like a golden mist.
"Holy crap!"
Bai Ye stared for half a minute, then let out an involuntary curse.
He had guessed correctly!
The opponent had deliberately set a trap, using this method to make everyone wait and complete the Sky Garden.
As for how to lure everyone into the Sky Garden after its completion, the answer was now apparent.
The Holy Grail was inside the Sky Garden. Would you go?
If not, in 24 hours, the Holy Grail would belong to the opponent!
Meanwhile...
Gilgamesh suddenly appeared beside Bai Ye, looking at the television screen and saying, "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 gashapon."
Gilgamesh looked at Bai Ye in confusion and asked, "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 moment...
The gashapon machine erupted in golden light!
As the machine spun, a golden gashapon dropped out.
Bai Ye's mouth hung open, staring at Gilgamesh in astonishment, "Are you kidding me? A random pull is gold?"
Gilgamesh asked, "Is it good?"
Bai Ye replied, "Except for some special circumstances, it should be the best."
"Naturally," Gilgamesh nodded. "This King governs the Golden Rule; my life is intertwined with fortune. All treasures in the world will follow this King."
Bai Ye almost spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Gilgamesh with a mournful gaze, "You should have said so earlier!"
If he had known, he would have had Gilgamesh draw gashapons for him all along. The Steel Slime wouldn't have just been black quality, it might even be red quality now, and he might not have even needed to spend Divine Stone Shards.
Gilgamesh said, "You didn't ask!"
Bai Ye was speechless, not knowing how to refute him.
"Hurry up!" Gilgamesh urged, "It's time to go!"
"Almost there!"
Bai Ye said as he picked up the golden gashapon and opened it...
He was even more speechless!
This Golden Rule was truly not just for show. Not only did it come out golden, but it was also the top-tier one.
Xuanyuan Sword (Xianjian) (Gold): One of the Ten Great Divine Weapons of antiquity, rumored to be the sword granted by the Heavenly Realm to Emperor Xuanyuan to slay Chiyou, 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 swings forth golden sword qi, capable of severing all things in the world.)
Dao of the Sword (Conjures a colossal phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword for attack.)
Slaying Demons and Exorcising Ghosts (The Xuanyuan Sword can suppress all evil in the world. When facing malevolent beings, its damage is doubled.)
Void-Rending Slash (A sword strike that shatters the void, crossing space to strike enemies.)
The World Returns to the Origin (The Xuanyuan Sword gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash the most powerful strike. After returning the world to the origin, the Xuanyuan Sword must slumber for a period.)
...
Xuanyuan Sword, an old friend!
What's there to fight?
The game is over!
Time to go home, everyone can go home!
Bai Ye shouted as he fed the Xuanyuan Sword to the Steel Slime, and then...
The Steel Slime evolved!
Steel Slime (Item) (Black): A rare mutated slime that can devour all objects and, after integrating their characteristics, transform to use them.
Effects: Devour (With continuous devouring, the Steel Slime's magic power will strengthen, 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. Effective for 12 hours. To steal again, the previous steal must be removed, or 12 hours must pass.)
Synthesis (It can combine two items into one, forming a more powerful item. Effective for 24 hours. To synthesize again, the previous synthesis must be removed, or 24 hours must pass.)
Enhancement (All items condensed by the Steel Slime will have all their effects strengthened by 10%, or one specific effect can be strengthened by 25%. To re-enhance, the previous enhancement must be removed, or 6 hours must pass.)
Condensable Items...
...
The Steel Slime has finally risen, finally become awesome!
Synthesis combined with enhancement can directly elevate an item by a tier!
For Bai Ye, this was absolutely a pleasant surprise. Bai Ye decided that if he ever met Jin Sha again, he would strip naked and repay her kindness with his own body.
However, there was also something quite terrifying.
The Steel Slime evolved from black to red quality...
Steel Slime, Growth Value: 50309 / 500000
The Xuanyuan Sword was truly fierce. One item was equivalent to eight, directly adding over 80,000 growth value, instantly lifting the Steel Slime to black quality.
But the next upgrade...
Although it didn't require adding a zero as Bai Ye had imagined, it still...
An upper limit of 500,000 growth value...
Bai Ye felt his hands trembling.
Based on the general estimate that most golden quality items provide 10,000 to 15,000 growth value, it would take about a month and over thirty Divine Stone Shards.
Bai Ye currently had quite a few Divine Stone Shards, but he couldn't just squander them like this.
And this didn't even account for unlucky draws, such as martial arts, abilities, dao techniques, sword skills, or genetic modifications, which simply couldn't be devoured.
Bai Ye looked at Gilgamesh with longing eyes.
Bai Ye felt that for the Steel Slime to reach red quality, it would require a Gilgamesh!
This was the man who could pull gold with a single casual attempt!
Gilgamesh, however, looked impatient, urging, "Are you going 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 their asses!"
With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Bai Ye was filled with confidence!
