Although Bai Ye was devout, as two blue gachas rolled out of the gachapon machine, it symbolized that an ordinary day had begun.
Crystal Aroma (Lavender Scent) (Prop) (Blue): Permanently increases hallucination resistance by 20%, permanently increases stun resistance by 10%, permanently increases anesthetic resistance by 10%.
Hundred Slaying Blade (Weapon) (Blue): In ancient times, a man-slaughterer, after slaying a hundred people and collecting their blood, forged this blade, thus it was named: Hundred Slaying Blade. Effect: Blood Break (Wounds inflicted by this blade are impervious to any healing medicine or recovery ability for one hour), Blood Slash (The demonic blood contained within the blade boils, transforming into a blood-red blade aura for attack).
One prop, one weapon.
Bai Ye discovered that an ordinary day still held surprises.
The Hundred Slaying Blade…
There was nothing much to say.
On an ordinary day, an ordinary blue-quality weapon appeared, possessing ordinary effects.
Nowadays, ordinary blue-quality items offered little help to Bai Ye; most were just icing on the cake.
However, the Crystal Aroma was good.
A prop, and it permanently increased resistance…
His chance to exploit a bug had arrived again. After using the Crystal Aroma, it would disappear, but the increased resistance would remain. Wonderful.
Bai Ye mused as he had the Steel Slime swallow the Hundred Slaying Blade. As expected, there was still a usage time limit, but the Steel Slime's growth value increased to 600 points.
The Crystal Aroma could not be swallowed; Bai Ye had to use it himself to increase his resistance.
"Next up is the main event," Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "The golden gacha!"
Within the gachapon machine, a golden radiance appeared, and then a golden gacha rolled out.
Bai Ye muttered incessantly before opening the gacha.
"Aha!" Bai Ye exclaimed joyfully, "It's this thing!"
Demon Armor (Mecha-Suit) (Gold): A combat weapon from the future civilization of kv—772, crafted from rare meteorite gold, equipped with seven types of technological weaponry. Only the elite of the elite were qualified to equip it.
Effects: Demon Field (Summons an At-ion wave field for defense), Solar Stream Cannon (Rapidly converges solar energy to form a high-heat light stream for bombardment), Magnetic Field Vortex (Creates a magnetic field vortex that pulls anything within a 15-meter radius towards it, causing continuous magnetic damage, highly effective against electronic devices without field protection), Supersonic Movement (Utilizes nuclear energy propulsion to instantly reach supersonic speeds, lasts for 18 seconds, requires a 6-hour cooldown for the power unit after each use), Self-Destruct (Demon warriors never defeat, only die. When victory is impossible, the Demon Armor can be detonated for mutual destruction).
"An old friend!"
Bai Ye touched the Demon Armor. He had encountered this item several times in his previous life.
After all, most mecha-suits were of red quality. Those reaching gold quality were considered premium, but even among premium items, they were still on the lower end of the gold quality spectrum.
Therefore, when specifically drawing from the golden gacha, their appearance frequency was relatively high.
Bai Ye was now very curious if the Steel Slime could even swallow a mecha-suit.
After all, it wasn't just about the materials; it contained many technological components, wires, circuit boards, and the like. Could the Steel Slime perfectly simulate these as well?
The answer was…
Yes!
"Steel Slime has swallowed the Demon Armor and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 2120 / 100000."
"Your Steel Slime's quality has been upgraded to Green."
"Your Steel Slime's quality has been upgraded to Blue."
Bai Ye couldn't help but grin.
It required 1000 growth to upgrade the Steel Slime from White to Green, and 10,000 from Green to Blue. A single gold-quality mecha-suit provided 12,500 growth points after being devoured!
The Steel Slime had leaped two quality levels directly. The bug exploit had been successful.
And…
What pleased Bai Ye was that Jin Sha's inference was correct; the Steel Slime did gain additional effects after upgrading.
Steel Slime (Prop) (Blue): A very rare mutated slime that can devour any object, fuse with its characteristics, and then transform to use those objects.
Effects: Devour (As it continuously devours, the Steel Slime's magic will strengthen, thus increasing its quality), Condensation (The Steel Slime can condense any devoured item), Steal (Through contact with an enemy, it can copy one of the enemy's items and perfectly condense it, valid for 12 hours. To steal again, the previous steal must be removed, or 12 hours must pass), Synthesize (Can combine two items into one, forming a more powerful item, valid for 24 hours. To synthesize again, the previous synthesis must be removed, or 24 hours must pass).
Condensable Items: Black Order Uniform…
When the Steel Slime was White, it only had two effects: Devour and Condense.
However, rather than calling them effects, they were more like the basic functions of the Steel Slime.
Upon upgrading to Green quality, the Steel Slime gained the Steal effect.
However, the Steal effect was more accurately a Copy effect. It could condense one of the enemy's items for 12 hours and could only steal once. To steal again, one had to wait for the time to expire or abandon the previous item.
This effect…
Bai Ye found it mediocre.
If he was being suppressed by an enemy's item, even if he stole it, it would at best result in a draw. Moreover, items required adaptation; some things weren't immediately useful upon acquisition.
However, in certain specific situations, Bai Ye felt the Steal effect would be useful.
The other effect, Synthesize, Bai Ye found much more useful.
Would two blue items synthesized become black? Would black items become red?
The restrictions were the same: only one item could be synthesized at a time. To synthesize again, one had to wait for the synthesis time to end or abandon the previously synthesized item.
Of course, the most exciting aspect was that Jin Sha's prediction was correct: as the Steel Slime's quality improved, it would gain more effects and become more powerful, possessing potential for development.
But…
The first growth was 1000, the second was 10,000, and the third requires 100,000…
Actually, 100,000 growth points were acceptable to Bai Ye, as he could exploit bugs.
One gold item provided over 10,000 growth points. By using the gachapon machine and consuming some Divine Stone Shards, it wouldn't take long to accumulate 100,000.
But, increasing by one zero each time…
Would the fourth growth require a million?
Thinking of this possibility, Bai Ye broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had a considerable number of Divine Stone Shards, he couldn't squander them like this.
