Chapter 69 The Road Ahead

After the light screen dissipated, Bai Ye looked up at the Death Amusement Park again.

Quite a few people were continuously rushing out. Although the Deer Head blocked the entrance, because the Deer Head could only attack one target at a time, many people managed to seize the opportunity and escape.

"It seems like quite a number of people will survive this time."

Bai Ye pouted, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the mist surrounding the Death Amusement Park.

Since his objective had been achieved, Bai Ye had no intention of lingering. How many people escaped from the Death Amusement Park had nothing to do with him.

After obtaining the spiritual body, Bai Ye's thoughts were no longer on the Death Amusement Park, as he had a new goal.

Regarding his physical body, Bai Ye felt he could stop here for now. Afterward, he could continuously strengthen his body with the Five Spirit Disk.

Therefore, Bai Ye decided to enhance his strength in other aspects.

Bai Ye felt he should focus on two areas. The first choice was supernatural abilities.

Supernatural abilities from the supernatural ability world were very suitable for combat. However, Bai Ye disdained ordinary abilities. As for powerful abilities, he knew of a few ways to obtain them, but with his current strength, he felt he had no chance of acquiring them.

So, the second choice was... equipment!

Although Bai Ye had many items in his possession, only the Frost Sword was truly remarkable. The Dragon's Roar and the Hexagonal Prism Shield were both obtained from the gacha machine.

The other items all had their own issues to varying degrees.

The Tarot cards were single-use consumables; once used, they were gone.

The Cursed Cross provided continuous damage. This type of item was suitable for prolonged battles, as its power was usually not very high.

The Grim Reaper's Strike was powerful, but the limitations of a sniper rifle were obvious. It was primarily used for long-range sniping and was almost useless in conventional combat.

The Golden Scale Armor was of blue quality and was quite good. However, Bai Ye did not know martial arts, so he could not trigger its "Martial Intent" effect, which increased the power of martial arts by 10% when used. This was equivalent to wasting one-third of its effect.

As for the fossil of the Fossilized Pterodactyl and Super Stone, Bai Ye had no idea what they were used for.

Therefore, after listing them out, Bai Ye realized that the truly high-value item was the Frost Sword.

Since that was the case, Bai Ye felt he needed to plan.

First, he needed a defensive item. The Hexagonal Prism Shield was quite useful.

Secondly, it would be ideal to have another versatile weapon like the Frost Sword. A melee weapon would be the first choice because when the Frost Sword was used for ranged attacks, Bai Ye's hands would be free. A secondary option would be to get another mid-to-long-range weapon similar to the Frost Sword. The two could work together to form a firepower suppression. When close combat was needed, he would hold the Frost Sword.

Beyond offense and defense, Bai Ye thought it would be worth considering obtaining some special-type equipment.

What were special-type equipment?

One could refer to the spiritual body as an example. The spiritual body was a special-type ability.

Overall, the spiritual body could be utilized through its switching ability in regular combat. Passing through walls and low-altitude flight were also applicable in battles. However, if the sole purpose was combat, the value of the spiritual body would decrease, as there were many combat abilities superior to it.

Therefore, the main value of the spiritual body lay in its ability to be used in combat while possessing extremely strong life-saving effects.

But "saving one's life" was not something needed all the time, so it was an ability that was exceptionally useful at specific moments. Such an ability could be called a special-type ability.

By the same logic, equipment with a similar function would be considered special-type equipment.

Special-type equipment usually had limited practical use but was extremely effective in certain situations. This led to a slow update cycle for special-type equipment. As long as the equipment's effect was sufficiently useful, even ordinary white-quality equipment could be kept and used indefinitely.

However, the troublesome aspect of this type of equipment was that it often relied on luck. Actively searching for equipment with a specific effect was quite difficult.

As he pondered equipment, Bai Ye couldn't help but recall some things from his past life.

Back then, Bai Ye, as one of the few who reached the endgame of the world battlefield, naturally enjoyed great fame. He was known as "an army of one" because he primarily focused on a technological and mechanical path and commanded his own mechanical legion. Mechanical constructs relied almost entirely on equipment, leading many to believe Bai Ye was an "equipment build."

In reality, at that time, besides the gacha machine, Bai Ye's primary reliance was not on equipment but on a supernatural ability from the supernatural ability world called "Mechanical Reconstruction." Any metal object could be assembled into combat machinery under the influence of Bai Ye's ability. As long as he sufficiently increased his spiritual power attribute and possessed enough metal items, Bai Ye could form a mechanical legion.

As for this life…

Bai Ye had considered the "Mechanical Reconstruction" ability and indeed knew how to obtain it. However, this ability had a significant drawback: without sufficient metal items, Bai Ye would be helpless, and his mechanical legion would instantly become a lone individual.

Of course, there was another more important reason: the "Mechanical Reconstruction" ability was not something Bai Ye could obtain now. It was located on a space station named "Salem," which housed countless combat angels. Bai Ye felt that with his current strength, let alone going there to obtain "Mechanical Reconstruction," he couldn't even get past the entrance. Even if he managed to sneak in, he would be easily blown to smithereens.

Therefore, Bai Ye decided to put aside this ability for now and focus on the present.

*Snap!*

Suddenly, Bai Ye thought of something and clapped his hands forcefully.

"How could I forget about that thing?" Bai Ye exclaimed excitedly. "Although it became a bit lackluster in the mid-to-late stages of the world battlefield, it was extremely useful in the early stages!"

Bai Ye thought of something that was both offensive and defensive, a complete set of excellent items. If he could obtain it, both his offense and defense would be satisfied. Moreover, it had special effects and could be considered special-type equipment to some extent.

Bai Ye was a man of action. Since he had decided on his goal, he naturally intended to act immediately.

However, Bai Ye felt he needed to plan his route first. The Death Amusement Park was located on the outskirts of this spiritual region. This meant that no matter where Bai Ye went, as long as it was across regions, he would almost certainly have to traverse a large portion of the spiritual region.

"Then let's go to the Soul Society first!"

After making his decision, Bai Ye began to travel.
