"Wish Mission has ended, you survived until the last moment."
"Your pursuit count is number one."
"You have obtained the Wish Mission reward: Phoenix Feather."
...
Bai Ye spent two days holed up in the hotel. Situ Chicheng had no new movements, while Hamel and Li Jiayi were also hiding honestly.
Everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, intending to let this Wish Mission conclude peacefully.
Of course, everyone was helpless.
Situ Chicheng wanted to make a move, but he couldn't if he couldn't find anyone. He was the most disadvantaged. Not only did he fail to kill Bai Ye, but he also had two new targets to eliminate, and unfortunately, these two targets were not easy to kill.
Situ Chicheng now deeply regretted his decision.
He chose to act during the Wish Mission because he was certain Bai Ye would be confined within the mission area and wouldn't be able to escape.
However, precisely because it was a Wish Mission, it also introduced two troublesome targets: Li Jiayi and Hamel.
Hamel...
This old bat was in a state of detachment from desire. The reward from the Wish Mission was somewhat useful to him, but he had to kill Bai Ye...
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend, leaving, leaving.
It was similar for Li Jiayi. Neither Hamel nor Bai Ye were easy to kill. For the sake of a damn mission, why bother?
Bai Ye was nonchalant. The Wish Mission reward was his anyway.
Thus, after two days of calm, the Wish Mission concluded successfully.
...
Phoenix (Supernatural Ability) (Gold): A power bestowed by the mythical phoenix, capable of burning everything with flames. If a phoenix feather is obtained and placed with Wutong wood, the ability can evolve and grow.
Effect: Phoenix Flame (Attacks targets with burning flames)
Flame Burst (Can detonate Phoenix Flame at any time, causing secondary damage)
World-Scorching Flame (After activating the ability, the body can burn, affecting all enemy targets within a 15-meter radius with attacks, and a certain chance of suffering burning damage)
Body of Fiery Rebirth (In environments not of high temperature generated by the Phoenix Bird ability, physical attributes other than intelligence are increased by 50 points and an additional 25%, possessing high-speed regeneration for self-recovery, and immunity to all fire damage and burning damage)
Domain: Land of the Phoenix Perch (Domain ability, a realm constructed with the phoenix's homeland as a background. All hostile targets within the domain continuously suffer damage, the effects of the Phoenix Bird ability are increased by 50%, and the Body of Fiery Rebirth effect is triggered. The quality of weapons used by enemies decreases by one tier. After each domain activation, there is a 48-hour cooldown before the next activation.)
Phoenix Rebirth (When near death, can be reborn from ashes, recovering all injuries, stamina, and mental state. This ability can be used once in a lifetime.)
The reward Bai Ye inwardly desired was the Mechanical Heart.
Although Bai Ye couldn't use the Mechanical Heart yet, as his proficiency in Mechanical Reconstruction was insufficient.
However, the Mechanical Heart was not easy to obtain. The process was very complex, requiring the completion of multiple hidden quest circles and the conquest of two forbidden zones.
Therefore, if given the opportunity, Bai Ye felt it would be better to obtain the Mechanical Heart first, and then use it directly once his proficiency was maxed out.
However, if not the Mechanical Heart, the Phoenix Feather would suffice.
The Phoenix Bird ability had finally reached its complete form, a gold-quality one.
Moreover, the Phoenix Bird was not a super-quality ability, but it required the collection of items to enhance it. Therefore, after reaching gold quality, it could be considered one of the top-tier abilities within the gold quality.
At the same time, the improvement after gold quality was also exceptionally significant.
Body of Fiery Rebirth, with an additional 25% increase in physical attributes after the base 50-point increase, was an already terrifying improvement, coupled with high-speed regeneration.
While slightly inferior to Hamel's super-speed regeneration, it was still formidable.
Elementalization, high-speed regeneration...
Bai Ye only wanted to shout to the heavens: Who can kill me!
However, as impressive as the Body of Fiery Rebirth was, it required a high-temperature environment.
This condition seemed simple but was not so easy to meet, because the high-temperature environment generated by Bai Ye using the Phoenix Bird ability did not count.
This meant that the environment had to be created by the target using fire-attribute abilities or items, or the surrounding environment had to be naturally high-temperature to trigger the effect.
It was understandable that this amplification effect would have certain limitations.
This made it impossible to use this move as a regular tactic, only usable in specific environments. However, the domain could be activated in emergencies.
Although the Land of the Phoenix Perch was also a Phoenix Bird ability, its effect could trigger the Body of Fiery Rebirth, further enhance the Phoenix Bird abilities by 50%, and reduce the tier of enemy weapons.
Bai Ye here could only shout again: Who else!
However, the limitation for activating the domain was a 48-hour cooldown between uses.
More directly, it meant he could show off once every two days.
Bai Ye felt that it was acceptable.
In fact, the stronger one's power, the weaker the time limitations became, because most of the time, Bai Ye wouldn't need to activate the domain anyway. What could force Bai Ye to exert his full power were at least individuals like Hamel, Li Jiayi, and Situ Chicheng.
Therefore, normally, Bai Ye would not encounter a situation where he wanted to activate the domain but it was on cooldown.
As for the final Phoenix Rebirth ability...
There was nothing much to say about it. It was just an extra life.
But, what was more valuable than life?
Bai Ye was immensely satisfied.
And after Bai Ye received the Wish Mission reward, everyone else was teleported away.
...
"Zouwu, Zouwu, Zouwu..."
Li Jiayi returned to his original location and immediately looked around, then knelt on the ground in agony, almost crying.
He went on a Wish Mission, gained nothing, and now Zouwu was gone.
Just then...
"I'm here, I'm here, it didn't run away."
At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out, and then Li Jiayi saw the beautiful assistant who was helping him leap down from a large rock.
"What didn't run away?" Li Jiayi asked excitedly, "Zouwu?"
The woman nodded, "Yes."
Li Jiayi quickly asked, "Where is it?"
The woman took out a cage. Immediately, a white light shone brightly, and Zouwu appeared beside the woman with its head held high.
The woman said happily, "How is it? I didn't mess things up this time, did I?"
Li Jiayi's mouth hung open as he looked at Zouwu, unable to speak. Then he looked at the woman with despair and asked, "Let me ask you something, what did those old geezers send you here to do?"
The woman replied, "To follow your orders and assist you."
Li Jiayi asked, "Then is there a possibility that I asked you to help me catch Zouwu, not to catch it for yourself?"
The woman asked in confusion, "Is there a difference? I'll trade it to you."
Li Jiayi looked at the cage in the woman's hand and asked, "What is the effect of the Four Directions Heaven Cage?"
"100% capture rate for supernatural beasts. See, I used this good item to help you..."
Li Jiayi interrupted, "Read out the second effect."
The woman said, "After capture, the pet's loyalty is 100%, its strength is increased by 50%, but it cannot be released or traded..."
The woman's voice grew softer and softer, eventually becoming inaudible.
Li Jiayi slapped his forehead violently, "What kind of karma have I brought upon myself!"
