The light screen dissipated, and Bai Ye glanced up at the Death Amusement Park once more.
Many people were rushing out. Although the Deer Head blocked the entrance, it could only attack one target at a time, allowing many to seize the opportunity and escape.
"It seems quite a few people managed to survive this time."
Bai Ye pursed his lips and then turned to leave, quickly disappearing into the mist surrounding the Death Amusement Park.
Since his objective had been achieved, Bai Ye naturally had no intention of lingering. How many people escaped the Death Amusement Park had nothing to do with him.
After obtaining the spiritual body, Bai Ye's focus shifted away from the Death Amusement Park, as he had a new goal.
Regarding his physical body, Bai Ye felt he had reached a satisfactory point. In the future, he would rely on the Five-Spirit Disk for continuous strengthening.
Therefore, Bai Ye decided to enhance his strength from other aspects.
Bai Ye believed he should focus on two areas. The first was abilities.
Abilities from the ability world were well-suited for combat. However, ordinary abilities didn't interest him. As for powerful abilities, he knew a few ways to obtain them, but with his current strength, Bai Ye felt he had no chance of acquiring them yet.
So, the second option was equipment!
Although Bai Ye possessed many items, only the Frost Sword was truly noteworthy. The Dragon Roar and the Hexagonal Prism Shield were both obtained from the gachapon machine.
The other items had their issues.
The Tarot cards were single-use consumables, disappearing after use.
The Cursed Cross provided continuous damage. Such items were suitable for prolonged battles, as their power was usually not great.
The Death Strike was powerful, but the limitations of a sniper rifle were obvious. It was primarily for long-range assassinations and was almost useless in conventional combat.
The Golden Chain Mail was of blue quality and quite good. However, Bai Ye didn't know martial arts and couldn't trigger the "Martial Body" effect, which increased the power of martial arts by 10%. This rendered a third of its effect wasted.
Then there were items like the Fossilized Pterodactyl Fossil and Super Stones, which Bai Ye had no idea how to use.
Thus, after a thorough review, Bai Ye realized that the Frost Sword was truly the item with the highest cost-effectiveness.
With this in mind, Bai Ye decided he needed to plan.
Firstly, he needed a defensive item. The Hexagonal Prism Shield was quite effective.
Secondly, he ideally needed another versatile weapon like the Frost Sword. A melee weapon would be the first choice, as when the Frost Sword was used for ranged attacks, his hands would be free. A secondary option would be another mid-to-long-range weapon similar to the Frost Sword, which could be paired to form suppressing fire. When close combat was needed, he could wield the Frost Sword.
Beyond offense and defense, Bai Ye thought that acquiring some specialized equipment would also be worth considering.
What constituted specialized equipment?
One could refer to the spiritual body as an example of a specialized ability.
Overall, the spiritual body could be utilized through spiritual body switching in conventional combat. Its abilities to pass through walls and fly at low altitudes were also applicable in battle. 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 primary value of the spiritual body lay in its ability to be used in combat while possessing a strong life-saving effect.
However, "saving one's life" wasn't always necessary, making it an ability that was exceptionally useful at specific times. Such abilities could be termed specialized abilities.
Similarly, equipment with the same function would be considered specialized equipment.
Specialized equipment usually didn't have strong general utility, but it was exceptionally useful in certain situations. This led to a low replacement frequency for specialized equipment. As long as the equipment's effect was sufficiently useful, even an ordinary white-quality item could be kept and used indefinitely.
However, these types of equipment had a drawback: their acquisition often relied on luck. Actively searching for equipment with a specific effect could be quite difficult.
As Bai Ye contemplated equipment, he couldn't help but recall some events from his previous life.
Back then, Bai Ye, as someone who had reached the final stages of the world battlefield, naturally enjoyed great renown. He was known as "an army of one" because he primarily pursued a technological and mechanical path, possessing his own mechanical legion. Machines almost entirely relied on equipment, leading many to believe Bai Ye was an "equipment-type" player.
In reality, besides the gachapon machine, Bai Ye's main reliance wasn't on equipment but on an ability from the ability world called "Mechanical Reconstruction." Any metal object, under Bai Ye's ability, could be assembled into combat machinery. As long as he sufficiently stacked his mental power attribute and possessed enough metal products, Bai Ye could form a mechanical legion.
As for this life...
Bai Ye had considered the Mechanical Reconstruction ability and knew how to obtain it. However, this ability had a significant flaw: without sufficient metal items, Bai Ye was completely helpless, and his mechanical legion would instantly become a solitary force.
Of course, there was a more important reason: Bai Ye couldn't obtain the Mechanical Reconstruction ability at present. It was located on a space station called "Salem," which housed countless combat angels. Bai Ye felt that with his current strength, let alone going there to acquire Mechanical Reconstruction, he wasn't even sure if he could enter. Even if he managed to sneak in, he would easily be blasted into dust.
Therefore, Bai Ye decided to put this ability aside for now and focus on the present.
*Snap!*
Suddenly, Bai Ye thought of something and clapped his hands.
"How could I forget about that thing?" Bai Ye suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Although it became a bit lackluster after the world battlefield entered its mid-to-late stages, 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. Furthermore, that item had special effects, and to some extent, it could be considered specialized equipment.
Bai Ye was a man of action. Since he had identified his goal, he naturally intended to act immediately.
However, Bai Ye felt he first needed to plan his route. The Death Amusement Park was located on the edge of this supernatural 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 supernatural area.
"Then I'll head to Soul Society first!"
After making his decision, Bai Ye began to set off.
