"You have completed the mission, successfully assisting the Joker in planting a bomb on the ferry, and have received the reward: Shard of God's Stone x1."
"Teleportation will begin in 30 seconds."
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."
As the countdown progressed, the surrounding scenery quickly blurred. Then, Bai Ye's body began to flicker, gradually fading, and finally disappearing.
After a moment, when the scenery around him became clear again, Bai Ye found himself back where he was before entering the City of Sin.
A desolate ancient road, with the wind occasionally blowing, carrying a hint of coolness, stirring up dust and sand.
Looking out into the distance, one could see towering city walls.
The winding Great Wall snaked like a colossal dragon.
Bai Ye shifted his feet and walked to a dead tree by the ancient road to sit down. Then, a light screen appeared before his eyes.
The redemption interface had appeared!
Bai Ye's Sin Value was 1210 points, which was overflowing.
The overflow part was the Sin Value obtained after reaching the maximum and continuing to kill summoned individuals of the Order Faction, as well as killing Jiemas during the final mission.
However, it was of no use.
The World Battlefield had not made any mistakes, allowing Bai Ye to exploit loopholes, because the redeemable Sin Value was still one thousand.
Bai Ye had already known this. Otherwise, he could have used his Sin Value to max out, and during the time between completing the mission, he could have gone on a killing spree of summoned individuals from the Order Faction, or gone on a rampage, to let his Sin Value overflow, thereby obtaining more Sin Value.
However, the maximum redeemable Sin Value was 1000. As for the extra two hundred, what was its significance...
Perhaps it could be used to prove that Bai Ye was a truly wicked villain?
Bai Ye shrugged self-deprecatingly and began to browse the items.
The redeemable items were similar to those in the hidden forbidden zone during the previous city-wide chaos. Although the items were different, their tier and prices were similar.
The best items only reached black quality, with the lowest redemption price being 500 Sin Value and the highest being 1000 Sin Value. Among them, those starting at 500 were threshold items of black quality, like the Pulse Dual Guns, while 1000 Sin Value was approximately mid-tier black quality.
Without hesitation, Bai Ye first redeemed the Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood.
This item was available during the previous city-wide chaos, but at that time, Bai Ye only had fifty million, and after redeeming it, he had no extra money to exchange for other things. Therefore, Bai Ye chose not to redeem it. This time, because he had a surplus, Bai Ye decisively redeemed the Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood, upgrading his Phoenix ability from blue to black quality.
Phoenix (Ability) (Black): An ability bestowed by the legendary Phoenix, capable of burning everything to ashes with flames. If one obtains Phoenix Feathers, Undying Flame, or Phoenix Perching Parasol Wood, the ability can grow and evolve. Effects: Phoenix Flame (Burning flame attacks the target), Flame Burst (Can detonate Phoenix Flame at any time, causing secondary damage).
The black quality Phoenix gained the Flame Burst effect. It had been temporarily enhanced using Loki's Lucky Wheel last time, and the power increase was quite significant.
With the remaining five hundred Sin Value, Bai Ye pondered for a moment before choosing a blue-quality magic spell—Teleportation.
Teleportation (Magic) (Blue): Uses the energy dispersed in the air to locate and then perform magical propulsion to teleport to that position. The duration of the pre-teleportation and the number of consecutive casts are determined by the user's mental power. Current pre-teleportation duration: 2.5 seconds per location, Current consecutive cast count: 3 times.
Bai Ye realized two issues during his trip to the City of Sin.
The first issue was that "Soru" was quite useful, so Bai Ye wanted a similar movement ability. If there were Six Powers among the redeemable items, Bai Ye would have planned to redeem "Soru," but unfortunately, there were none.
The second issue was defensive ability, which was a reminder from Yong Zhen Nan Huang. Yong Zhen Nan Huang was a red-quality flying sword, but it did not exert the power of a red-quality item. The biggest problem was Yong Zhen Nan Huang's strongest ability, "Heng Dao Li Ma" (Stand Firm and Fight), which could not be triggered because Bai Ye had no defensive means, causing Yong Zhen Nan Huang to be mainly used to strengthen his body.
The basic increase of 30 points to physical attributes from Yong Zhen Nan Huang was not low, but it was definitely not up to the standard of red quality. However, Yong Zhen Nan Huang had an additional percentage increase in physical attributes, which was closely related to the user's physical attributes, and thus did not perform to its expected level either.
However, Yong Zhen Nan Huang was, after all, produced from a gachapon machine. Although it reminded Bai Ye to pay attention to defensive abilities to avoid situations where good items are obtained but cannot be utilized, it was not urgent for now, so Bai Ye chose Teleportation.
Teleportation was very good. Although it was blue quality, because it was related to mental power, as long as the mental power was excellent, Teleportation would definitely be beyond blue quality. Moreover, auxiliary abilities did not have high requirements for quality, mainly suitability.
After spending three hundred Sin Value to redeem Teleportation, Bai Ye chose to redeem medicine with the remaining two hundred Sin Value.
Golden Ring Pill (Item) (Green): Can to a certain extent heal injuries and remove any negative effects.
Drugs like the Chocolate Bar, which instantly resurrected to full condition, were too expensive for Bai Ye to afford. He already had Cheese Sticks for pure healing potions. Therefore, Bai Ye chose the Golden Ring Pill, which could heal injuries to a certain extent and remove negative effects.
After all, Bai Ye was only 100% immune to poison; other negative statuses were still troublesome.
The Golden Ring Pill consumed 150 Sin Value for Bai Ye. With the last fifty Sin Value, Bai Ye redeemed two stacks of 99 Dao Talismans and a box of six Energy Cubes.
The Pulse Pistol finally wouldn't need to be used sparingly.
However, redeeming items was not the main event; Bai Ye still had a good item in his hand.
Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid (Item) (Blue): A gene-modifying fluid that can strengthen the body by altering gene sequencing. After ingestion, all physical attributes will randomly increase by 5-30 points, with a 50% chance to unlock the first gene gate. If the first gene gate unlocking fails, there will be side effects of gene sequencing recombination and modification.
Anything that could directly increase physical attributes was a good thing.
After all, personal strength was the foundation of everything and the most valuable form of power enhancement.
However, in the City of Sin, Bai Ye dared not use this thing. If the consumption of the body was too great, or if there were side effects, it would be a big trouble.
And now...
Bai Ye glanced around. The wind was bleak, desolate, and uninhabited. It looked quite safe, so he could naturally inject it.
As for the side effects...
A fifty-fifty chance!
Gambling might lead to a loss, but...
Without gambling, one never wins!
