Watching the body fall, Bai Ye wiped the blood from his named sword, Shi Xue, then stepped over the corpse and entered Zhenxin Town.
Now, grievances were settled.
If the other party hadn't sought trouble after the Death Soccer match, Bai Ye wouldn't have acted.
But, they sought trouble…
So, he would eliminate them all!
In his previous life, Bai Ye had few enemies, because all his enemies were dead.
This was the simplest and most straightforward method. Since the other party didn't treat the Death Soccer match as a mere arena competition and harbored grudges, Bai Ye had no choice but to end them.
Upon entering Zhenxin Town, Bai Ye headed straight for the Glory Arena.
Since he had been teleported by a ticket, Bai Ye could directly teleport back from the Glory Arena.
Before eradicating his enemies, Bai Ye had been patient, but now that the task was done, he was somewhat eager.
It had been five to six days since he left the Great Wall. He wondered if Mulan's letter had received a reply from Chang'an, and if his hidden quest would go to waste.
Thinking thus, Bai Ye arrived at the Glory Arena and found a service attendant.
Soon, a white radiance enveloped Bai Ye's body, shrouding him.
When the white light dispersed, he was surrounded by the tents of the Great Wall Guard.
Bai Ye stretched, then pushed open the tent flap.
"Huh?" Bai Ye looked towards the entrance and murmured, "What's going on?"
The entrance of the tent was empty, not a soul in sight.
This was clearly not normal. Mulan and Kai often sparred here, and even if they weren't present, other Great Wall Guards would be coming and going.
But now, in front of Bai Ye's tent, there was not even a shadow of a person.
Bai Ye walked out, puzzled.
Soon, Bai Ye noticed many people heading towards the city gate, and looking towards the direction of the city gate, he could see a throng of people.
Bai Ye immediately moved towards the city gate. Upon reaching the vicinity of the gate, he found it densely packed with people. Looking up towards the battlements, he could faintly hear sounds of shouting and fighting.
Bai Ye casually grabbed someone and asked, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?" The person glanced at Bai Ye and replied, "Demon invasion, move aside, don't cut in line."
As he spoke, the person pushed Bai Ye aside and squeezed forward.
"Demon invasion?" Bai Ye looked around and said, "No wonder there are so many people."
The battlements were only so wide, and people needed to spread out along the Great Wall to the sides of the battlements before those behind could ascend. Thus, everyone was waiting below the battlements.
Bai Ye had clearly arrived late and had no choice but to wait his turn. However, before queuing, Bai Ye went to find the quartermaster.
"You have received a mission."
"Demon invasion of the Great Wall. Please strive to fight them. Mission rewards: Level 1 Demon (Merit x1), Level 2 Demon (Merit x3), Level 3 Demon (Merit x5), Elite Demon (Merit x20), Demon Lord (Merit x100)."
The Great Wall Guard's missions primarily rewarded merit. Whether it was hunting, building houses, or running errands, all provided merit, which could then be exchanged for items.
However, the items obtainable in the neutral zone were limited, generally capped at blue quality, and terrifyingly expensive. The cheapest blue quality item cost three thousand merit, and it would take nearly a month to accumulate enough. It was slightly better during attack events, taking about half a month.
But obtaining a blue quality item in half a month…
Bai Ye couldn't be bothered with such missions; they were a pure waste of time.
There were also black quality items, but…
A black quality Tang dao cost thirty-five thousand merit…
Staying in the neutral zone for over half a year to exchange for a black quality item, what was the point?
Therefore, there was no future in staying solely in the neutral zone.
Bai Ye thought to himself as he found a secluded corner and took out the gachapon machine.
Since he had to queue to get onto the battlements, he still had time. So, he decided to try two draws. Moreover, the reason Bai Ye had suddenly changed his reward to the Steel Slime wasn't just because the unknown future was more interesting, as he had told Jinsha, but because Bai Ye had a bold idea.
As the gachapon machine spun, Bai Ye prayed, "Cannon, cannon, cannon, give me a cannon!"
Fighting demons, if he got an Italian cannon now, he would soar.
And then…
Vulcan Gatling (Machine Gun) (Blue): A world-famous machine gun, known as Vulcan, caliber 0.6 inches, number of barrels: 10, barrel length: 1524 mm, overall length: 2032 mm, rate of fire per barrel: 1000 rounds/min, effect: Firepower Overload (your magazine is always full), Standing King (after standing and shooting for 30 seconds without moving, your bullets deal double damage).
Bai Ye looked at the blue gachapon that appeared…
Although it wasn't an Italian cannon, a machine gun with infinite ammunition was a harvesting machine for harvesters, incredibly powerful!
Against a large number of grunts, a machine gun was also quite useful.
Bai Ye wasn't picky. A machine gun was fine. Then, he pulled another gachapon.
A moment later, the second gachapon rolled out of the machine. It was a green gachapon. Just an ordinary day.
Yin Yang Talisman (Weapon) (Green): A Yin Yang talisman that can depict Yin Yang formations. After inscribing the formation, it can unleash area-of-effect attacks within the formation. Effect: Demon Bane (deals double damage to targets with demon, evil spirit, or ghost attributes).
"Stuff from the Land of the Rising Sun isn't great. Feels inferior to Daoist talismans."
Bai Ye pouted. However, drawing gachapon wasn't Bai Ye's ultimate goal this time.
Soon, Bai Ye released the Steel Slime, and then he dumped all his items on the ground.
"Eat!" Bai Ye commanded. "Eat it all until you can't eat anymore!"
The Steel Slime wriggled its body, climbed onto the sword case of the Seven-Colored Rainbow, and as it wriggled, its body gradually grew larger, soon engulfing the sword case. In no time, the sword case began to shrink at a visible rate, being consumed by the Steel Slime.
"Steel Slime has consumed Seven-Colored Rainbow and gained Devouring Growth."
"Steel Slime Devouring Growth, current growth value: 78/1000."
"Only 78 growth value for Seven-Colored Rainbow?" Bai Ye brought over other items and said, "Eat, keep eating, eat it all."
"Steel Slime has consumed Frost Condensation and gained Devouring Growth."
"Steel Slime Devouring Growth, current growth value: 151/1000."
"Steel Slime has consumed the named sword Shi Xue and gained Devouring Growth."
"Steel Slime Devouring Growth, current growth value: 209/1000."
