"Hmph!" Gilgamesh raised his head high and sneered, "Servant classes are meaningless to this king. My name itself is the ultimate class."
Bai Ye asked, "Then why not be a Swordsman? Or a Knight would be good too! More fitting for a king's status!"
Gilgamesh scoffed, "Worms are not worthy to touch this king's body with such ease."
Bai Ye propped his chin, taking a moment to understand the meaning. It meant that ordinary people didn't have the qualification to fight him.
Bai Ye glanced at Gilgamesh. Whether others had the qualification to fight him was unknown, but in terms of sheer arrogance, they certainly couldn't compare to him.
"Then the last question," Bai Ye said, "Didn't we reach an agreement? Why aren't you taking action?"
Gilgamesh spread his hands. "Where are this king's wine and delicacies?"
"You..." Bai Ye was speechless and waved his hand helplessly. "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you there now!"
They proceeded to a towering hotel, the best presidential suite, where the most expensive dishes were served. Wines costing a hundred thousand per bottle were placed before Gilgamesh.
Bai Ye asked, "Are you satisfied now?"
Gilgamesh held his wine glass, swirling it gently, gazing at the deep red liquid within.
"Not bad," Gilgamesh took a sip and said, "You find the others. I will kill them."
"That would be for the best," Bai Ye replied. "You enjoy yourself. I'll be next door."
Bai Ye finished speaking and left Gilgamesh's suite.
"What kind of karma did I accumulate in my past life to summon such a thing," Bai Ye lamented.
Bai Ye felt he was truly miserable. This was not being a Master at all; it was clearly being a servant!
This was definitely not the proper way to start the Holy Grail War.
Normally, shouldn't he have summoned a blonde, busty girl who was devoted to him, fought bravely in battle, and offered him head pats, hugs, and snuggles in daily life!
"Forget it!" Bai Ye slapped his forehead. "At least in some aspects, Gilgamesh is quite good."
Certain aspects...
He meant the rewards!
Bai Ye didn't know why the chosen one who triggered the wish-fulfillment quest chose the reward of summoning a Noble Phantasm for a Servant.
However, looking at the present situation, Gilgamesh's greatest joy in epic sagas was hoarding treasure, so he should have quite a few good items on him.
Therefore, if Bai Ye won the Holy Grail War, his chances of obtaining good items would significantly increase.
While contemplating, Bai Ye entered the adjacent room and threw himself onto the bed.
So tired!
First, there was continuous travel, then the battle at the altar. After finally finishing, he was immediately thrown into the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
Bai Ye's nerves had been constantly on edge, and he felt a sense of exhaustion.
Lying on the bed, Bai Ye first checked the mission rewards for defeating the Ancient Mechanical Giant.
Shard of the Dawning Heart (Item) (White): A stone imbued with mysterious power, allowing entry into the Primordial Domain.
First Floor Entry Permit for the Heroic Mausoleum (Item) (Blue): Grants permission to enter the first floor of the Heroic Mausoleum (this permit can be upgraded).
Shard of the Dawning Heart...
This item was essentially a ticket to a restricted area. With it, one could enter the Primordial Domain restricted zone.
However, Bai Ye had no interest in that place for now, as going there would only invite trouble.
But getting a ticket was definitely a good thing; he could go whenever he wanted, or even sell it if necessary.
As for the entry permit for the first floor of the Heroic Mausoleum, it was something Bai Ye wanted, but not entirely what he desired.
Because Bai Ye's goal was not the first floor, but the third!
The Heroic Possession abilities in the Heroic area also had tiers, with the highest being gold quality.
The Heroic Mausoleum had three floors; the first floor undoubtedly housed the lowest tier heroes, while the third floor was filled with gold-quality heroes.
The reason Bai Ye could confirm this was because he had obtained Sikong Zhen's possession ability in his past life, which came from the third floor.
Therefore, obtaining the permit for the first floor was just the beginning. This permit could be upgraded, and Bai Ye's goal was to upgrade it to gain entry to the third floor of the Heroic Mausoleum.
These two items were not immediately useful to Bai Ye, so he didn't dwell on them, put them away, and proceeded to draw from the lottery.
The result...
Just another ordinary day.
One blue lottery draw, one green lottery draw...
He also received a Shard of God's Stone, which he exchanged for a useless mecha part.
However, fortunately, it could at least be used for feeding.
"Steel Slime," Bai Ye commanded, "Devour."
"Steel Slime devouring..."
"Steel Slime devouring and growing..."
...
"Steel Slime has devoured High-Tensile Steel Armor and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime's Devour Growth, current growth value: 13120 / 100000"
...
The feeling of exploiting a bug was quite satisfying. However, perhaps because it was just an item, the growth value after devouring the High-Tensile Steel Armor was not as much as the Devil's Robe last time.
Still, a growth value of over ten thousand was acceptable. In ten days, by consuming ten Shards of God's Stone, the Steel Slime could be upgraded to black quality.
Finally, there was some regret. Seven-Colored Rainbow was rendered useless. That set of seven flying swords was quite useful.
Bai Ye thought to himself and let out a yawn, preparing to sleep for a while.
But at this moment...
Several dark shadows appeared by the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
Just as Bai Ye rolled over, intending to pull up the covers...
CRASH!
The dark figures suddenly lunged at the floor-to-ceiling window, shattering it into pieces.
The sound of breaking glass scattered, piercingly sharp.
"What's going on?"
Bai Ye snapped awake instantly, then rolled out of bed and quickly went to the bedroom door, kicking it open.
The next moment, a dark figure lunged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly dodged to the side, and the shadowy mass slammed into the wall next to him.
Bai Ye looked back, frowning. "Bones?"
What hit the wall was a skeletal frame, looking human but with a lizard-like skull for a head.
The Steel Slime immediately wriggled on Bai Ye's face, forming a Predator-like bio-mask.
Dragon Tooth Soldier (Summon) (Green): A summoned creature created using a medium, commonly employed by Casters.
...
Click, click, click...
As Bai Ye was checking the information, more Dragon Tooth Soldiers barged in from the living room, their mouths opening and closing, producing crisp clicking sounds.
Then...
They lunged towards Bai Ye!
