Chapter 20 : Enhancing Myself!
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "I need a large quantity of food. Those listed on the trading hub are just too few, and I can never snipe them..."
Bai Yu understood.
Although there was low priced food on the trading hub, the quantity was too small for these lords to scramble for.
It obviously couldn't satisfy this lord's needs, and Bai Yu noticed that this lord didn't seem to lack resources either.
Also known as a sucker, oh wait no, it should be Bai Yu's God of Wealth.
Having a long term buy didn't seem bad.
Bai Yu responded to the Orphan of Zhao with an emoji and then ignored the chat.
As a big shot, she needed to learn to be aloof.
There was still some time before evening, and she will be able to harvest another wave of food at that time.
It was just that the sky in this world was always gloomy, not even the sun could be seen.
If it weren't for Bai Yu checking the system panel, she wouldn't even know if it was morning or night.
Bai Yu looked at the huge Black Water Altar in the center of the castle and suddenly thought.
"Oh right, since the Black Water Altar can enhance the undead, then can it enhance me too?"
"No way no way, living things that fall in will directly turn into stinky rotting skeletons. I don't want it!"
"I'm not undead, but I have the undead bloodline, so maybe it works?"
"What if, I try it out?"
The main reason was that Bai Yu felt her stats were just too trash, around the same as the skeletal warrior's.
At this rate, Bai Yu would at most reach commander tier.
Having strong units weren't enough.
Being a weakling just made her the giant weak spot in the undead army.
If the enemies charge in and just killed her, wouldn't it all be over.
Although having strong troops gave a sense of security, it could never compare to the security of being strong herself.
Bai Yu walked over to the Black Water Altar, entered the protective barrier, and then Bai Yu anxiously tested it a bit.
Yeah, she really could leave as she pleased.
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but the main event was yet to come.
She carefully crouched down beside the black water, planning to reach out with her hand and try touching it.
Bai Yu also wasn't stupid enough to just jump in, what if she turned into a skeleton? That would scare all of you away.
Bai Yu extended a finger toward the Black Water, turning her head to the side and closing her eyes, not daring to look.
Bai Yu grit her teeth and abruptly touched down with her finger.
"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Bai Yu frantically shouted, only to then realize there was no pain at all.
"Huh, nothing happened!"
Bai Yu turned her head to look at her finger, which had now reached into the altar.
Her finger hadn't actually touched the black water but had instead created a small vacuum in it, resting directly at the bottom of the altar without coming in contact with the black water.
"What's going on here?"
Bai Yu clearly felt a tingling sensation at her fingertip, as if some energy was flowing into her body.
She sensed that she had definitely gotten a bit stronger, but she hadn't even touched the black water.
Skeletons' bones turn black when enhanced, zombies emit black gas, etc!
Bai Yu quickly pulled her finger back, looked from the left, looked from the right, but saw nothing turning dark, nor were there any other weird signs like black smoke.
Bai Yu even put her finger in her mouth to taste it a bit.
Bai Yu was sure, it was definitely a human hand!
Bai Yu was finally at ease.
She stood up, and stepped one foot into the altar.
Sure enough, the surrounding black water actively avoided Bai Yu, but the tingling sensation running up her entire leg almost made her fall.
Bai Yu took off her shoes and walked barefoot into the Black Water Altar.
Bai Yu just felt as if she was being electrocuted all over.
Trembling, Bai Yu barely managed to suppress her discomfort.
As soon as she stepped into the altar, the scythe bracelet on her right arm automatically fell off and transformed into a huge scythe that dropped into the Black Water Altar, and the surrounding black water wildly surged towards the scythe.
Weapons could also be enhanced!
Bai Yu was feeling happy.
Bai Yu ignored the weapon that fell on the ground and continued walking forward, reaching a position near the center of the altar.
Bai Yu immediately sat down, because she was just too tired.
The surrounding black water surrounded Bai Yu, only the area directly beneath her was a forbidden zone.
The energy from the surrounding altar slowly converged towards her.
Bai Yu closed her eyes and enjoyed the pleasure brought by her stat enhancement.
In a daze, Bai Yu actually fell asleep.
Unsure how long it had been, Bai Yu rubbed her blurry eyes and stood up.
At that moment, Bai Yu felt just felt full of energy and unstoppable, as if she could one shot a buffalo with a single punch.
"Ah, why's all the black water gone?!"
Bai Yu looked beside her and realized that the Black Water Altar was nearly out of black water, with the scythe quietly lying on the ground not far away.
Bai Yu walked over, picked up the scythe, and checked the stats.
"Isn't this just the same?"
"Forget it, let's not worry for now, we'll talk later."
The scythe transformed back into a bracelet and appeared on Bai Yu’s right wrist.
Bai Yu noticed that the ground of the altar was still continuously seeping out black water.
Although the speed was slow, it meant that the Black Water Altar was slowly recovering.
This could be considered good news.
Bai Yu let out a sigh of relief.
If a king level special building was gone just like that, then it would be such a waste.
The sky outside had already turned completely dark, and a pile of monster corpses was stacked at the castle entrance.
Opening the system panel, Bai Yu glanced at the time and found that it was already 8:30 at night.
She had actually slept for nearly four hours...
Bai Yu had also received several private messages from The Orphan of Zhao during this time.
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Big boss, are you there?" 6:00
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Big boss, when can we do the trade?" 6:30
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Big boss, if you see this, please reply." 7:30
Bai Yu could tell he was anxious, messaging her every half hour.
Bai Yu felt a bit embarrassed, she couldn't just say she fell asleep.
The big boss persona should always be busy!
Bai Yu hurriedly replied, afraid that the big deal would slip away.
[Krabby Patty]: "I had some things to deal with, didn't get a chance to check messages. Let's trade in a bit?"
As soon as Bai Yu sent the message, The Orphan of Zhao basically replied instantly.
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Okay, thank you big boss!"
Bai Yu guessed that this person probably still had leftover food.
Otherwise if he just kept waiting for Bai Yu, he'd probably have already starved a couple of meals.
Bai Yu looked at the pile of animal corpses beside her, and then took a look at the Black Water Altar and fell into silence...
"Forget it, let’s check my stats first."
