Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 199: Chapter 127: Ominous Fate

Baiyi was a bit confused, first by the influx of knowledge, and then by the impact of the task.

He was stunned for quite a while before breaking free from the deluge of information.

The task described three crises...so does that mean he has to survive three deadly situations to complete it?

Baiyi pondered that the requirement seemed rather high. However, the Old Sword Saint has been stuck at Level 90, unable to step into the Forbidden Path, reaching a mortal’s potential limit.

He had been trapped there for millennia, and Baiyi suddenly had this chance to breach it, which didn’t give him much right to complain.

It was a bit regrettable that he didn’t know when the task would begin, and any levels and soul resources gained could not be used to enhance Spirit.

However, he could channel other attribute points into Intelligence, as an Alchemist’s Magic Power was also quite important.

As long as he could hold back his level, reaching 800 Magic Power before advancing to Legendary didn’t seem as challenging as he imagined.

Baiyi pondered, turning his gaze to the Dark Side, wondering when it could transform into Divine Attribute Points.

But it seemed something was still missing.....

Was it because the word ”God” hadn’t appeared on the template?

Without dwelling on such meaningless issues, Baiyi checked the time; it was almost September, then glanced at the forum: [Countdown to Public Beta: 8 days 15 hours.]

There was less than a month before players would arrive, but South Spirit City wasn’t in a hurry because the game wouldn’t leave players with no experience. At least they would wait until players’ average levels improved to fully unfold the main storyline.

The first two months were unlikely to see any wars; he still had some time. Although modifying some things couldn’t be delegated, firearms for the elite troops could be.

With the Alchemy Melting Furnace, even if slightly wasteful with materials, it could slowly manufacture more advanced items, and currently, Dongwu City was not short of money.

Baiyi walked out of the laboratory. The Dawn Potion Shop was empty; although still daylight, the front door was closed.

”Or, you rest first, wait for my orders,” Baiyi said in the direction of Or.

In the assembly line, Or froze, the Soul Fire under the hood flickered, seemingly surprised that it finally got a chance to rest, having endured a difficult year.

It remembered last autumn, also under such fine weather, when it came to develop in Xia, becoming the supervisor of this assembly line, and since then, its Magic Power had never been abundant.

Now... finally, at long last....

Or looked up at the faint lights in the workshop, momentarily teary-eyed, but alas, it had no flesh....

Baiyi did not concern himself with the mental well-being of tools. He opened the Dawn Potion Shop’s door and was instantly amazed by what he saw.

The bustling streets, the impeccably clean ground, were filled with the aura of Transcendents. A line of stalls appeared between the shops and the streets, selling everything without blatantly competing with the shops.

Only the entrance to the Dawn Potion Shop was relatively open.

Baiyi’s still somewhat azure eyes could even clearly see their weak souls.

All who met Baiyi’s gaze would instinctively feel a chill, as if locked on by some terrible beast.

Baiyi withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes to adjust, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to black.

He slightly concealed his aura, closed the door, and entered the bustling street.

He had never seen Dongwu City this lively.

”Did you buy a ticket?”

”I did, of course! It’s a rare arena fight, much more interesting than human vs. magical beast battles.”

”No, that’s not what I meant.”

”What do you mean?”

”Well, with this ticket, you can bet on who wins before the match starts. If you bet correctly, you earn money!”

”What, really? I thought those were betting pools run by the big shots! Can we still buy in now? Isn’t this basically a welfare giveaway?”

”Heh, come on, I’ll take you there. I’m telling you, I’ve earned several gold coins through this. This time it’s really fair, no house involved, the official just takes 20% of the winners’ winnings. As long as you follow the crowd, it’s a guaranteed win!”

”Is there really such a good thing? Let’s go, go, go...”

Baiyi watched the two Bronze Humans disappear into the alley, twitching his lips—a house cut from a sure-win bet....

Zero: [Legion recruitment materials have been compiled.]

Baiyi took a look; during the seclusion time, personnel for the Modified Legion and the elite squad had already been selected.

The Modified Legion drew 30,000 people from three legions, including 23,000 from the Wucheng Army, 5,000 from the Storm Legion, and 2,000 from the Apocalypse Legion.

While forming the Modified Legion, it also freed up 30,000 military spots.

These positions are the recruitment spots for this time, and once these 180,000 elites are filled, a last-place elimination mechanism will be initiated.

Meanwhile, fifteen large arenas have been completely built, located in the four outer city districts.

Under Sabo’s arrangement, registering for the arena costs money, under the pretext: not just anyone can join a Stronger Contest, excluding those just here to mess around.

It also costs money to watch the arena, allegedly to boost city revenue.

Gambling participation also requires a ticket purchase, with Sabo taking a 20% cut of winnings on top of the principal.

With some pre-prepared revenue generation....

Currently, the number of Transcendents in Dongwu City exceeded 1.5 million, with more flocking to the city.

This city is likely to make significant profits this wave.

Because the number of participants will only increase, and most of the Transcendents may also remain in Dongwu City.
