Bai Ye lay on the rooftop of a building, surrounded by white mist.
The famed blade, Bloodthirsty, could indeed recover injuries and stamina by drawing blood from kills, but the speed of recovery wasn't very fast. Furthermore, engaging in combat while injured might attract new troubles, ultimately forming a vicious cycle.
Therefore, Bai Ye chose to spend some time using the warm mist for continuous recovery.
While recovering, Bai Ye glanced at the screen.
His sin points had risen to 515. Robbing the bank yielded 130, completing a mission gave 100, and the remaining 65 were from killing Adam.
"Over 500 points..." Bai Ye grinned. "That guy should be coming for me soon!"
Simply accumulating sin points to 1000 wasn't inherently difficult. Even by performing simple evil deeds, one could reach the maximum sin points if they were willing to spend enough time.
So, there was a surprise: once the sin points exceeded five hundred, the hero from the City of Sin would come looking for him.
Of course, for Bai Ye, it wasn't much of a surprise. Having been to the City of Sin in his past life, Bai Ye naturally knew the ins and outs of it.
However, Bai Ye was confident he hadn't left too many clues, and the other party shouldn't be able to find him easily.
What gave Bai Ye a headache was something else.
Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid (Item) (Blue): A gene fluid that can strengthen the body by altering gene sequencing. Upon consumption, all body attributes will randomly increase by 5-30 points, with a 50% chance to unlock the first gene gate. If unlocking the first gene gate fails, a gene sequencing recombination side effect will occur.
This could be understood as another version of the T-virus. Consuming it would randomly increase body attributes by 5 to 30 points, but the drawback was the fifty-fifty chance of failure in unlocking the first gene.
Success in unlocking a gene gate was self-explanatory; Bai Ye had personally witnessed Adam's state after unlocking his.
Moreover, unlocking gene gates likely involved more than just physical attribute enhancement. The sixth, seventh, and eighth senses mentioned by Adam were clearly latent enhancements. Additionally, the noticeable reduction in pain was highly advantageous in combat. As for whether there were other hidden benefits, it remained unknown for now.
But the problem was, if it failed, not only would he fail to unlock the gene gate, but he would also suffer side effects!
The coexistence of risk and reward left Bai Ye somewhat conflicted.
However, Bai Ye didn't need to make a decision immediately. He certainly wouldn't risk taking it before leaving the City of Sin. After all, who knew what the side effects were? He would definitely need to consume the Initial Gene Modification Cell Fluid in a relatively safe environment.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye tossed out the gachapon machine.
Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to try his luck with the gachapon, as the reset time had already passed.
Bai Ye casually grabbed the gachapon machine's knob and turned it. The machine whirred to life, and a blue capsule dropped out.
"Truly no surprises at all."
Bai Ye sighed, grabbed the capsule, and tapped it on the ground. It sprang open.
Six Styles: Soru (Martial Art) (Blue): The first technique of the Rokushiki, a secret naval art. In an instant (0.36 seconds), it utilizes explosive recoil from dozens of high-speed stomps on the ground to achieve rapid movement, appearing as if one has suddenly vanished to the opponent. Note: Using Soru requires a speed attribute of 100 or higher.
Movement ability?
Bai Ye glanced at his speed attribute. It was already over 100, so that was fine. Otherwise, it would be hilarious if he couldn't use it.
Bai Ye casually spun the gachapon machine again, and then...
"Huh?" Bai Ye exclaimed. "Did Ziyuan share her good luck with me?"
The second capsule that popped out was...
Black!
Although not as monstrous as Ziyuan's one-hit red capsule, a black capsule was still good. It wasn't exceptionally rare, but it wasn't something one could get every day.
However...
It was black, but aside from the color, Bai Ye felt a bit unlucky.
Because the item he got, he was already very familiar with.
Charge-Type Plasma Caster (Weapon) (Black): A basic energy weapon of the alien civilization, the Predators. It can fire once after charging for three seconds. After every fifteen shots, it requires a five-minute cooldown due to overheating. It can be paired with infrared aiming assistance to improve hit rate.
The Predator's plasma caster, and it was even the same basic charged version that Bai Ye had obtained before.
Bai Ye was speechless. "You could have given me a rapid-fire or splash-damage high-spec version!"
Still, thinking about it, it was acceptable. At least it didn't screw him over by giving him another pair of pulse pistols; those were even worse.
Moreover, Bai Ye was somewhat hesitant to use the pulse pistols, or more accurately, he needed to conserve them. Once the energy cells were depleted, they would just be scrap metal. While energy cells weren't rare and were easy to come by, they could only be obtained in the technological world region, and Bai Ye had no idea when he could get any.
Therefore, since he couldn't get them anytime soon, he had to use them sparingly. Having a Predator shoulder cannon to hold him over for now wasn't bad.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye set the plasma caster aside and spent a divine stone shard, saying, "Gold!"
He felt there was no need to save this divine stone shard. He wouldn't be able to leave the City of Sin anytime soon, and there were powerful individuals like Adam. Moreover, with his sin points exceeding 500, a troublesome individual was likely to appear.
Besides, he had obtained two divine stone shards from defeating Adam, so Bai Ye felt it was fine to be a bit more generous. He wasn't at a loss anyway.
Moments later, with the machine whirring, a golden capsule rolled out, and the surroundings were instantly bathed in a golden radiance.
Then...
Bai Ye casually scooped the capsule out of the machine and then pried it open. And then...
As the golden capsule opened with a flash of golden light, a massive turntable appeared before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye froze for a moment, then said speechlessly, "How did I get this thing?"
The golden wheel in front of him was something Bai Ye was very familiar with, because...
That golden turntable was from the same series as the gachapon machine he held!
