Ion Beam Turrets, Bai Ye was quite satisfied.
Besides being good in themselves, Bai Ye was also quite happy to see an old acquaintance from his past life.
However, Bai Ye was not very satisfied with the randomly obtained golden item.
Dugu Nine Swords Fragment (Martial Art) (Gold): The ultimate martial art created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, this is the first style of the fragment.
Effect: Sword Breaking Style (This style can break all sword weapons in the world)
...
A golden quality martial art, and a fragment at that, it was not merely a martial art, but a super-quality ultimate skill.
However, as for super-quality, those who understand, understand. The complete version is invincible, while a fragment is inferior to ordinary golden quality items.
Taking Dugu Nine Swords as an example, it is absolutely a top-tier martial art, with nine styles in total: Sword Breaking, Saber Breaking, Spear Breaking, Whip Breaking, Rope Breaking, Palm Breaking, Arrow Breaking, and Qi Breaking.
Once all are learned, all weapons in the world can be broken. Moreover, the Qi Breaking style can even counter the internal energy and qi of other martial arts. It's simply: monstrous.
But the problem is here: it's only a fragment, and currently, it can only break sword weapons, which is not very impressive.
Bai Ye pondered over this item and decided not to learn it.
Learning it would be meaningless, while not learning it allowed for trading. If he could one day gather the complete set, he would certainly learn it.
He tossed the item into his inventory, placing it with the Sunflower Manual which required self-mutilation, and Bai Ye felt slightly better.
At least the Dugu Nine Swords fragment had one style that could break sword weapons.
Damn it, that Sunflower Manual fragment was so incomplete that it only required him to mutilate himself, and the martial art part was gone. What a joke, the so-called fragment meant he had to cripple himself to be considered complete, that was true despair.
The remaining two items were the main focus. Although they also involved randomness, Bai Ye could specify the category.
Bai Ye looked at his bare chest and decisively said, "Armor."
The Black Order uniform, a bit of a pity, yet not entirely.
Bai Ye didn't really need the Black Order uniform. He hadn't used it much since acquiring it.
However, the main function of the Black Order uniform was as a token of the Black Order, which could unlock several forbidden zones.
It was even directly related to a large forbidden zone—Millennium Earl!
But the Black Order zones couldn't be entered freely. One had to first encounter a member of the Black Order to enter, and the key was the letter of introduction, along with the Black Order uniform.
Bai Ye had obtained the uniform, but he hadn't encountered any Black Order natives, so he was helpless. Now that it was broken, it was fate.
But he couldn't be naked. He needed something to wear.
A moment later...
"You have obtained Weapon/Armor: Fury of the Raging Sea Scales."
The sea's mockery permeated every drop of water, carried by the currents.
Fierce winds howled from all directions, and the dim, dark night rose from the sea.
Those who floated and sunk in the water would, like countless times before, be enveloped by the wind, drifting helplessly.
Until one day...
Blazing golden light descended from the heavens, cleaving this unchanging ocean!
The howling winds whimpered, and the raging waves suddenly calmed.
That golden halberd cut through the sea.
Thus, this sea area found its master.
People called him...
The King of All Seas!
Fury of the Raging Sea Scales (Weapon) (Armor) (Gold): A weapon and armor materialized from the souls of sea beasts, a symbol of the King of All Seas. From today onwards, if you do not yield to the abyss, you shall fight until death!
Effects:
King of All Seas (The surrounding seawater will fear their king, and you can move unimpeded in the sea.)
Sea Soul (When fighting in the sea, you can manipulate seawater for combat. The amount of seawater manipulated and the power of sea attacks depend on your mental strength.)
Sea Breaker (With the halberd blade materialized from the souls of sea beasts, unleash a slashing attack. If used in the sea, it can cleave through the sea with triple the power.)
Power of the Ocean (When fighting in the sea, you can absorb the power of the ocean, continuously healing injuries and possessing infinite stamina.)
Lost Ruins (Summon the lost ancient city beneath the sea as your domain for combat. Physical attributes are increased by 20% except for intelligence. If summoned in the sea, physical attributes are further increased by 10%, Sea Soul and Power of the Ocean effects are increased by 30%, and physical attributes of all enemy targets within the domain are reduced by 15%. Duration: 30 minutes.)
Bai Ye looked at the screen and felt he was going crazy.
Golden quality items truly never disappointed.
Although Bai Ye had requested armor, the armor materialized by the Fury of the Raging Sea Scales and the golden halberd formed a set, serving as both weapon and armor. Bai Ye felt he had profited.
Secondly, the effects of Fury of the Raging Sea Scales were simply amazing.
No need to say more, these were the effects expected of golden quality.
If he had to rate its tier, Bai Ye considered it to be in the lower-middle tier among golden quality items, but very close to the middle tier.
But, damn it all, almost all these effects could only be exerted in the sea!
Bai Ye felt like he was going insane.
This was practically forcing him to go out and roam the sea!
On land, the power of this item would be greatly reduced, to the point where it would barely be considered red quality.
Sea Breaker could still be used, but the triple power in the sea...
Lost Ruins, a domain ability, was the thing that pleased Bai Ye the most, but...
The difference between summoning Lost Ruins in the sea and summoning it on land...
Bai Ye felt like crying!
Furthermore, even as armor, Bai Ye was not satisfied. While it was acceptable during combat, wearing armor all the time was quite uncomfortable.
However, this was not a major problem.
He could use the Steel Slime to materialize clothing for normal use and wear the armor during combat, but the problem still remained that its effects were maximized in the sea.
Still, the item was acquired, and he had to accept it no matter how dissatisfied he was.
Besides, thinking on the bright side, who knew when he might go to sea to film something.
Bai Ye took a deep breath. He still had one more choice, and he had already made up his mind.
"Reinforcement!"
Bai Ye made his choice decisively.
True strength always came from oneself. Regardless of armor, weapons, magic items, or any other equipment, nothing was as substantial as one's own strength.
Therefore, abilities that directly affected oneself were the most valuable. This was undeniable.
Of course, there were many ways to become strong. Martial arts, Taoist magic, sorcery, physical reinforcement, physical mutation, the categories were too numerous.
But Bai Ye used the process of elimination.
Martial arts might yield fragments.
Taoist magic and sorcery were similar. Moreover, these two were more complex, involving the five elements and elemental resistances. Different Taoist magics and sorceries might not necessarily suit him.
As for physical reinforcement and physical mutation...
These were what Bai Ye desired the most. Nothing was more substantial than physical attributes.
