Chapter 143: Unlocking the Harvest, Returning (3k Second Update)

【You have opened the Drop Card: Butcher】

【You have obtained 2100 Dimension Points】

【You have obtained the item: Butcher's Leather Jacket】

【You have opened the Drop Card: Queen Maeve】

【You have obtained 2400 Dimension Points】

【You have obtained the material: Hero's Pupil】

Bai Cangshu sat in the office arranged for him by Vought International and crushed the two loot cards he had obtained from Jiebo, which came from Butcher and Queen Maeve respectively; as for Hughie, Kimiko, A-Train, and the others, he did not know if they had escaped or died without dropping anything.

Golden Boy had already been confirmed dead, while Cate was nowhere to be found.

He examined the black leather jacket in his hands; it was indeed the one Butcher wore.

【Butcher's Leather Jacket】

【Quality: Silver Plot Equipment】

【Description: The clothing worn by the anti-hero who walks the edge of chaos and order in the Heipao Shijie, possessing powerful abilities.】

【Equipment Requirement: Constitution > 8; requirements double for those in the Orderly Faction.】

【Low defense, average durability.】

【Effect 1: Constitution +2】

【Effect 2: After wearing, continuously heals the wearer's injuries with a low recovery effect.】

【Effect 3: Gain special ability: Intimidation Lv3 — Inflict intimidation on targets whose sum of Strength & Spirit is lower than your own, causing the target's mind to scatter and preventing them from concentrating.】

Bai Cangshu tried it on and found he could indeed wear it; he looked at himself in the mirror wearing the leather jacket and sighed regretfully.

"I actually don't count as the Orderly Faction?"

After suffering from Yellow Springs Erosion, his Constitution had already fallen to 13 points, and he would even suffer a certain amount of backlash when using the Magic Spear; therefore, theoretically speaking, if the Reincarnation Space judged him to be in the Orderly Faction, he would be unable to wear this equipment.

Bai Cangshu took off the leather jacket, feeling that the Space's judgment regarding factions was perhaps a bit arbitrary.

Although he had objectively caused the deaths of over twenty thousand New Yorkers, murdered Homelander—who had once trusted him greatly—and, together with Stan, fooled the Meilijian citizens and government... yet, Bai Cangshu considered himself a good person who followed order.

"At least I didn't go and assassinate the President, right..."

He put away the leather jacket. This Silver Plot Equipment had average effects and was somewhat of a chicken rib to someone like Bai Cangshu who possessed high-level Ripple Qigong; he prepared to return to the Reincarnation Space to exchange it for abilities or equipment he needed more.

Bai Cangshu picked up the blood-streaked eye again, where one could vaguely discern Queen Maeve's resolution.

【Material: Hero's Pupil】

【Quality: Rare】

【Description: The pupil of a certain hero; you may view casting options at the Rank Management Office.】

Including this eye, Bai Cangshu had already obtained three materials in this world capable of casting Tese; he did not know if these Ability Users dropped such items easily, or if it was because he currently had the opportunity to cast Tese.

That was why the drop rate was particularly high.

However, apart from the Gills dropped by The Deep which were of Rare quality, the materials from Stormfront and Queen Maeve were both of Rare quality, so theoretically, the effects would not be bad.

Bai Cangshu glanced outside the office; Compound V had not been delivered yet, so he simply took out Jiebo's Scarlet Loot Card.

A scarlet glow lingered over his Reincarnation Space Mark, and he then crushed the card.

【You have opened the Scarlet Drop Card】

【Drop opening in progress...】

【Calculating target's Killing Points; target's Killing Points are: 42, reward increased by 1 level.】

【Calculating your Killing Points...】

【Detected that ex051 possesses Sin Points; you will receive 1 additional reward selection.】

【Calculation complete; for this opening, you may choose 2 items from the following rewards.】

【a: 90% of Dimension Points】

【b: Draw 6 items from the Backpack; you may choose 3 of them.】

【c: Specify one of the target's attributes to have 10% of it added to your own attributes.】

【d: Randomly draw 3 Specialties; you may choose one and retain a maximum level of Lv4.】

【e: Randomly draw 3 Abilities; you may choose one and retain a maximum level of Lv3.】

Jiebo's Killing Points were the highest Bai Cangshu had seen so far, which also greatly increased the value of this Scarlet Loot Card.

Basically, every option received a considerable enhancement in benefits.

Drawing items was no longer randomly drawing 3, but randomly drawing 6 and then letting Bai Cangshu choose 3 out of the 6; Attribute Extraction could also be chosen by himself.

Bai Cangshu looked at the Scarlet Drop Card, where every option had become very tempting under these conditions, and thought for a moment before making his choice.

"Choose e."

This time, he prioritized Ability Extraction because Jiebo possessed the ability to adjust attributes; looking at the results, after Jiebo's adjustments, his attribute advantage over Bai Cangshu was not great, so it was highly probable that the opponent had definitely not crossed the Extreme Value. In other circumstances, 1 attribute point would definitely not be a loss, but this time, because it was effectively three-choose-one, the appeal of abilities was greater.

【You have chosen e, drawing in progress...】

【Drawing complete.】

【You have drawn the special ability: Tide Rise (C+)】

【Tide Rise (C+): You can adjust your own muscle ratio, weakening your Strength to increase your Agility attribute; this conversion process continuously consumes energy and involves intense pain.】

【You have drawn the ability: Living Corpse Reincarnation (B+)】

【Living Corpse Reincarnation: A forbidden technique to transfer one's spirit into another vessel; this technique requires a large amount of life energy such as Chakra, Qi, or Meridians, and will cause a certain amount of soul damage to the user; it is a path to eternal life carved out by a genius of the Renweishijie.】

【You have drawn the ability: Refractive Illusion (C-)】

【Refractive Illusion: Open the Meridian: Phantom Sea, continuously consume energy, and create an illusion around your body, causing any target using visual observation to experience visual errors.】

Bai Cangshu frowned; this draw could not be considered a success. The ability that summoned the Great Sun to descend went without saying—it was highly likely not Jiebo's own ability—but he did not even draw 【Tathagata Palm】.

He did obtain Jiebo's ability to adjust attributes, but this ability was actually of very low practicality for Bai Cangshu or other Reincarnators. Bai Cangshu guessed that Jiebo most likely had another ability called 【Tide Fall】 that could reverse the attribute adjustment; this was a special ability the opponent had combined with their own talent. If a Common Reincarnator obtained it, it would only make their body a mess.

For someone accustomed to their own body, using this ability is, in all likelihood, a negative improvement.

Yet the 【Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique】 is indeed a precious ability; to a certain extent, it counts as a technique for immortality.

Although it has flaws such as a mandatory 3-year interval between uses, the ability to allow an ordinary person to live on indefinitely is enough to drive countless people mad.

It is just a pity that what Reincarnators find most difficult to obtain is time.

Without the coordination of Jiebo's other special abilities, the 【Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique】 alone, for a Reincarnator, is probably...

Bai Cangshu's thoughts suddenly paused; he recalled the physical strength of Jiebo's body after possessing Xingguang.

This ability might not be as unbearable as he had imagined; in a certain sense, this is an ability with extremely high value!

Bai Cangshu gave up on choosing the 【Refractive Illusion】 that could continue to improve his close-quarters combat ability; that special ability could indeed give Bai Cangshu a greater advantage in close-quarters combat and also make him harder to target by Reincarnators who use firearms.

But the grade of the ability itself determined that the value of this ability was not too high.

!

With a movement of his mind, a scroll already appeared in his hand.

【You have obtained the Ability Scroll, Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique lv3】

This is a scroll that can allow a Reincarnator to directly master the lv3-level 【Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique】 ability, provided they meet the learning conditions; its value is very high.

After Bai Cangshu put this item away, he continued to make his choices.

"Choose b!"

He had obtained an ability scroll of very high value; as long as he sold it, it would certainly fetch a very high price, therefore, the option for Dimension Points was excluded.

And judging from the situation of the abilities, Jiebo was clearly a Reincarnator with very unconventional and eclectic abilities; his abilities and Specialties did not possess very high universality, therefore Bai Cangshu chose Prop Extraction.

【You have chosen b, starting Prop Extraction...】

【Extraction complete】

【You have obtained Prop · Inferior Medicinal Wine (White) *3】

【You have obtained Prop · Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea (Rare)】

【You have obtained Prop · Debt Collector (Blue)】

【You have obtained Prop · Ancient Revolver (White)】

【You have obtained Prop · Large Bundle of Currency (White)】

【You have obtained Prop · Slave Shackles (Blue)】

When the number of extractions is high, even for the type of person who keeps all sorts of useless props in their Backpack, one can always get something useful.

Bai Cangshu swept his gaze over them and abandoned the Inferior Medicinal Wine that exuded the scent of medicinal herbs, as well as the large bundle of green paper currency.

Then, regarding the remaining four items, he already knew the effect of the 【Slave Shackles】; this thing counted as hard currency in the space and could be sold at any time to exchange for resources, including Singularities.

And the 【Debt Collector (Blue)】 was a black sniper rifle of astonishing length, possessing a special effect that caused an explosion upon hitting a target; it counted as a decent shooting weapon.

What Bai Cangshu paid more attention to were the 【Ancient Revolver】 and the 【Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea】.

【Ancient Revolver】

【Quality: White】

【Description: A revolver that harbors the intent of a Great Cultivator, containing special power and significance】

【Effect: Unknown】

【Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea】

【Quality: Blue】

【Description: A treasure map of an unknown sea area in a certain world, which may open up a peculiar adventure】

【Effect: Appears after identification】

Bai Cangshu felt that this treasure map was very likely a prop from a 【Pirate Derivative World】; that world was rich in props like treasure maps.

As for the revolver, it might come from the real world; Bai Cangshu knew that in the real world, there probably existed certain cultivators who possessed special cultivation abilities.

Although they could not compare to Reincarnators in terms of destructive power, they possessed unique abilities.

He thought for a moment and felt he had no time to get involved in such matters, so he simply cast the revolver aside.

【You have obtained the props: Slave Shackles, Treasure Map of the Mysterious Sea, Debt Collector】

Knock, knock.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and Aishili walked in with her head lowered; this woman had been heavily relied upon by Madelyn after this series of events.

For some reason, Aishili was very afraid of this Asian who had replaced Homelander, even feeling that the other party was more terrifying than Homelander.

"The medicinal herbs you requested—we have already found the vast majority of them from Japan, South Korea, China, and other places, and they are being urgently air-freighted over."

"Only... these two cannot be found; the herb merchants over there all say... the names you provided are likely wrong, and these two types of herbs are merely legends."

Bai Cangshu looked at Aishili's tablet.

【Undying Grass, Purple Ying】

He was noncommittal and just gave a hum; Aishili became even more flustered, and while backing away, she said,

"At the latest by midnight tonight, these things will be delivered, and also... that kind of compound..."

Just as she was about to exit the room, she added,

"Also, that 【Invisible Man】, he asked me to tell you that he has already left first and will go to find you again according to the agreement."

Bai Cangshu heard that Mu had actually chosen to leave this world without a sound; his expression was somewhat strange, but he did not probe further. He waited until nightfall, and after obtaining Compound V and the medicinal herbs, he chose to leave this world.

"Return."
