"Wish Mission has ended, and you survived until the end."
"Your pursuit count is number one."
"You have received the Wish Mission reward: Phoenix Feather."
...
Bai Ye hid in a hotel for two days. Situ Chiceng showed no new moves, and Hamir and Li Jiayi were also wisely in hiding.
Everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, intending to let this Wish Mission conclude peacefully.
Of course, everyone felt helpless.
Situ Chiceng wanted to make a move, but he couldn't find anyone to target. He was the most disadvantaged. Not only did he fail to kill Bai Ye, but he also had two new targets to eliminate, and these two targets were not easy to kill.
Situ Chiceng regretted it deeply now.
He had chosen to make a move during the Wish Mission because Bai Ye would be confined within the Wish Mission area and could not escape.
However, precisely because it was a Wish Mission, two troublesome targets, Li Jiayi and Hamir, were added.
Hamir...
This old bat was in a state of detachment from worldly desires. The rewards of the Wish Mission were somewhat useful to him, but he had to kill Bai Ye...
Unbeatable, unbeatable, he left, he left.
Li Jiayi was in a similar situation. Both Hamir and Bai Ye were difficult to kill. For a broken mission, why bother?
Bai Ye was very indifferent. In any case, the reward for the Wish Mission was his.
Thus, after two days of calm, the Wish Mission successfully concluded.
...
Phoenix (Ability) (Gold): A power bestowed by the legendary phoenix, capable of burning and incinerating everything with flames. If one obtains a phoenix feather and the wood of the phoenix tree, the ability can grow and evolve.
Effect: Phoenix Flame (Burn targets with flames)
Flame Burst (Can detonate Phoenix Flames at will, causing secondary damage)
World-Scorching Flame (After activating the ability, the body can burn, causing attacks to all enemy targets within a 15-meter radius, with a chance of suffering burning damage)
Body of the Fiery Rebirth (In a high-temperature environment not generated by the Phoenix ability, physical attributes other than intelligence are increased by 50 points and an additional 25%, possessing high-speed regeneration and self-healing capabilities, ignoring any flame damage and burning damage)
Domain: Land of the Phoenix Perch (Domain ability, constructed with the phoenix's homeland as the background. All hostile targets within the domain continuously suffer damage, Phoenix ability effects are increased by 50%, and the Body of the Fiery Rebirth effect is triggered. The quality of weapons used by enemies is reduced by one tier. After each domain activation, there is a 48-hour cooldown before the next activation)
Phoenix Rebirth (When approaching death, one can be reborn from the ashes and revive, recovering all injuries, stamina, and mental state. Once in a lifetime)
The reward Bai Ye inwardly desired should have been the Heart of Machinery.
Although Bai Ye could not use the Heart of Machinery yet, as his proficiency in mechanical reconstruction was insufficient.
However, the Heart of Machinery was not easy to obtain. The process was very complicated, requiring the consecutive completion of multiple hidden quests and the clearing of two forbidden zones.
Therefore, if there was an opportunity, Bai Ye felt it would be better to obtain the Heart of Machinery first, and then use it directly once his proficiency was maxed out.
However, even without the Heart of Machinery, the Phoenix Feather would suffice.
The Phoenix ability had finally reached its complete form of Gold quality.
Moreover, the Phoenix was not an ultimate-quality ability, but it also required the collection of items to improve. Therefore, after reaching Gold quality, it could be considered one of the top-tier abilities among Gold quality.
At the same time, the improvement after Gold quality was also exceptionally significant.
Body of the Fiery Rebirth, with an additional 25% increase in physical attributes after the initial 50-point increase, was already a terrifying magnitude of improvement, coupled with high-speed regeneration.
Although it was slightly inferior to Hamir's super-speed regeneration, it was still quite formidable.
Elementalization, high-speed regeneration...
Bai Ye just wanted to shout to the heavens: Who can kill me!
However, as powerful as the Body of the Fiery Rebirth was, it required a high-temperature environment.
This condition seemed simple, but it was not so easy, because the high-temperature environment created by Bai Ye using the Phoenix ability did not count.
This meant that the environment had to be generated by enemies using fire-attribute abilities or items, or the surrounding environment itself had to be high-temperature to trigger it.
It was understandable that such an amplification effect would have certain limitations.
This made this move likely unusable as a regular tactic, only deployable in specific environments. However, in emergencies, the domain could be activated.
Although the Land of the Phoenix Perch was also a Phoenix ability, its effect could trigger the Body of the Fiery Rebirth, and additionally increase Phoenix ability effects by 50%, while also reducing the quality of enemy weapons by one tier.
Bai Ye could only shout again: Who else!
However, the domain activation had a cooldown of 48 hours.
More directly, it meant he could show off once every two days.
Bai Ye felt that it was still acceptable.
In fact, the stronger one's power, the less restrictive time-based limitations became, because, in most situations, Bai Ye would not need to activate his domain. Only opponents like Hamir, Li Jiayi, and Situ Chiceng would force Bai Ye to go all out.
Therefore, Bai Ye would generally not encounter a situation where he wanted to activate his domain but it was on cooldown.
As for the final Phoenix Rebirth ability...
There was nothing much to say about it, it was an extra life.
But, what was more valuable than life itself?
Bai Ye was extremely content.
After Bai Ye received the Wish Mission reward, everyone else was teleported away.
...
"Zou Wu, Zou Wu, Zou Wu..."
Li Jiayi returned to his original location and immediately looked around, then collapsed to his knees in pain, almost crying.
He went on a Wish Mission, got nothing, and now Zou Wu was gone.
Just then...
"Here, here, it didn't run away."
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out, and then Li Jiayi saw the beautiful young assistant who acted as his helper leap down from a large rock.
"What didn't run away?" Li Jiayi asked excitedly, "Zou Wu?"
The woman nodded. "Yes."
Li Jiayi quickly said, "Where is it?"
The woman produced a cage, and then, with a bright white light, Zou Wu appeared proudly beside the woman.
The woman said happily, "How is it? I didn't mess things up this time, did I?"
Li Jiayi's mouth hung open as he looked at Zou Wu, speechless. Then, with a look of despair, he looked at the woman and said, "Let me ask you a question, what did those old geezers send you here to do?"
The woman replied, "To follow your orders and assist you."
Li Jiayi said, "Is there a possibility that I asked you to help me catch Zou Wu, not to catch it for yourself?"
The woman looked puzzled. "Is there a difference? I'll trade it to you."
Li Jiayi looked at the cage in the woman's hand and asked, "What is the effect of the Four Directions Heaven Cage?"
"One hundred percent capture of exotic beasts. Look, I even used this good thing to help you..."
Li Jiayi interrupted, "Read out the second effect."
The woman said, "After capture, the pet's loyalty is one hundred percent, and its strength is increased by an additional 50%. However, it cannot be released or traded..."
The woman's voice grew quieter and quieter, eventually becoming inaudible.
Li Jiayi slapped his forehead violently. "What kind of bad karma have I brought upon myself!"
