Chapter 27 Advancing

There was no time for Bai Ye to re-draw from the gashapon machine, but fortunately, Bai Ye was no longer the same person he was at the beginning, not in a state of being penniless except for the gashapon machine when he first entered the world battlefield.

Quickly opening the card box, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and flicked it, sending countless playing cards flying into the air.

The playing cards were just ordinary playing cards, which Bai Ye had casually picked up from the convenience store at the gas station.

However, in Bai Ye's hands, they were no longer just playing cards.

Bai Ye was now a person with a special ability.

That special ability was called — Paper God!

And playing cards, of course, were made of paper!

In an instant, the flying playing cards suddenly hovered in the air, then began to spin rapidly.

The next moment, with a thought from Bai Ye, the spinning playing cards immediately flew towards the Corpse Child.

*Poof, poof, poof...*

The playing cards repeatedly pierced the Corpse Child's body, directly knocking it off the coffin.

However, the Corpse Child, falling to the ground, sprang up immediately, leaping four to five meters in a straight line to Bai Ye's front.

"Ningshuang!"

Bai Ye immediately called out.

The Ningshuang Sword instantly transformed into a beam of light and flew towards Bai Ye, who then gripped it in his hand.

*Poof!*

With the sword in hand, Bai Ye immediately slashed at the Corpse Child's neck.

The blade sank three inches into the flesh, and black blood continuously flowed from the wound.

The Corpse Child's face grew more ferocious, and it raised its arm to stab at Bai Ye, its fingernails sharp and black, exuding sharpness.

Bai Ye quickly raised his foot and kicked, striking the Corpse Child in the chest and sending it flying. Then, before the Corpse Child could stabilize itself, he forcefully threw the Ningshuang Sword forward.

*Poof!*

With a flash of silver light, the Ningshuang Sword embedded itself in the Corpse Child's throat. The force of its forward momentum even carried the Corpse Child's body away, pinning it directly onto the jade coffin. Moments later, the Corpse Child's body twitched a few times and then ceased to move.

Bai Ye took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pulled out the Ningshuang Sword, shaking off the blood.

Mount Bagong, among the many immortal regions, could not be considered particularly dangerous, but it was, after all, a forbidden area within the immortal regions. Its level was indeed below that of the Umbrella Company's underground base, and these Corpse Children were indeed far more troublesome to deal with than zombies.

After killing the final Corpse Child, the number of kills for the mission's fifteen tomb-guarding spirits increased to (8/15).

Simultaneously, on the other side of the square stone chamber, a hidden door opened, revealing a passage behind it.

However, Bai Ye did not rush to leave. Instead, he threw out the gashapon machine and began to draw the gashapon for a new day.

"Heaven bless, earth bless, all gods and Buddhas, manifest quickly..."

Bai Ye mumbled to himself as he began to turn the crank. Soon, accompanied by the sound of the machine whirring, a large gashapon ball dropped from the machine.

Bai Ye's face lit up with joy. A blue gashapon!

A blue gashapon, while not yet up to the standard for producing high-level items, was at least approaching high-level items. It seemed his luck was good today.

Bai Ye thought to himself as he twisted open the gashapon.

And then...

Bai Ye was a little bewildered.

What is this thing?

A stick?

After opening the gashapon, a black metal stick dropped out. Bai Ye picked it up and saw that the stick had many spliced joints, and it was not cylindrical but flat.

Bai Ye fiddled with it for a moment, and suddenly, two blades popped out from the ends of the iron rod.

The blades were serrated and began to spin wildly the moment they popped out, making a "shua, shua" sound.

Bai Ye had a look of realization. It was a weapon from a technologically advanced civilization.

High-Frequency Serrated Blade: Made of new HR2 durable synthetic metal, its body and blades are constructed with a handle that can split. When combined, it is a double-edged blade; when separated, it becomes two short swords. It can also utilize high-frequency rotation to enhance its sharpness and cutting power.

Bai Ye stroked his chin. He didn't really need a melee weapon, as he already had the Ningshuang Sword.

However, this thing was indeed good.

Furthermore, the Ningshuang Sword was a flying sword, capable of decapitating enemies with its sword light. So, when the Ningshuang Sword flew out, wouldn't he be left without a weapon in his hand?

Therefore, having another weapon like this seemed not bad.

Bai Ye thought as he put away the sword and continued to twist the gashapon machine.

And then...

A large white gashapon ball dropped from the gashapon machine.

Bai Ye's heart sank. Was his good luck over already?

Even if you turned green, it would be fine!

Bai Ye, looking dejected, twisted open the gashapon. Inside was a card.

Great Inventor (Ability): Every hour, can randomly invent a technological item.

Bai Ye was confused. What kind of ability was this?

From the literal meaning, Bai Ye couldn't quite understand this ability. However, since it was just a white gashapon, Bai Ye didn't pay much attention to it.

As for the last gashapon...

Bai Ye hesitated and decided not to draw it.

If he continued drawing, what if he had another string of bad luck? And if he put it aside like last time, wouldn't that have led to the Yin-Yang reversal of the black gashapon?

Bai Ye thought as he put away the gashapon machine and continued forward out of the tomb.

Outside the tomb was still a passage, also filled with a chilling atmosphere. The oil lamps on both sides flickered with greenish flames, and occasionally, the wind seemed to blow into the passage from somewhere, making it feel chilly.

Suddenly, Bai Ye sensed something and instantly stopped.

*Poof!*

An iron arrow shot out from within the wall and embedded itself in the opposite wall.

Bai Ye was not surprised. The tomb of King Huai Nan, besides having tomb-guarding spirits, must have also been built with numerous mechanisms. Things like hidden arrows were naturally normal.

Bai Ye thought as he took out the High-Frequency Serrated Blade and then squatted down, rolling the High-Frequency Serrated Blade forward.

*Clang, clang...*

As the High-Frequency Serrated Blade rolled and bounced on the ground, countless iron arrows shot out from the walls on both sides, embedding themselves densely in the opposite wall, like a hedgehog.

Speaking of mechanisms and traps, the forbidden areas of the steampunk region were more terrifying. The power and precision of the mechanisms were quite formidable, not comparable to these ancient mechanisms.

Bai Ye thought as he continued to walk forward along the passage, casually picking up the High-Frequency Serrated Blade that had fallen on the ground.

After a moment, he reached the end of the passage and found himself in a new stone chamber, slightly larger than the previous one. Upon entering, Bai Ye's eyes fell upon two rows of orderly Terracotta Warriors. At the same time, no entrance was visible within the stone chamber.

"It seems to be the usual rule," Bai Ye said, taking out a deck of playing cards. "If we don't resolve the trouble here, they probably won't let us pass."
