Chapter 433 - 227: Deal and Specialty (Part 2)
Diane immediately nodded, "No problem!"
Baiyi was just about to ask Zero to organize political documents but thought better of it. He said, "Wait a moment, I’ll create an AI for you. Even though you’re a mage, an AI assistant is still very useful. Also, I’ll take this opportunity to complete the modification I promised you last time."
Diane’s eyes lit up, "Great, I’ve been wanting to say this. I captured a bone dragon in my plane, can you help me modify it to look as cool as yours?"
"That’s not a big issue."
"And the witch demon, Or is pretty good. It’s already at the golden level, but as a skeleton, it looks quite ugly. Help me make it look better... and also... skeletons, I want mechanical skeleton warriors! Can you..."
"Stop, witch demons can’t be modified, and what level is the bone dragon?" Baiyi interrupted Diane, asking helplessly.
"Golden level, of course. What’s the point of capturing anything other than a golden level?" Diane replied naturally.
Baiyi twitched his mouth; although Bodun’s modifications are also at the golden level, even at full force, it can’t beat a golden bone dragon.
As for the witch demon, it’s a spellcaster, why would it need mechanical modifications?
Baiyi said somewhat helplessly, "No need to say more. When I get in, just summon everything you can, and I’ll help you modify them. The goal of modification is power, not appearance...."
"So... there’s no modification that’s both powerful and good-looking?" Diane asked curiously.
"Yes, they all look quite good." Baiyi looked at a cold golden lower tier figure, who was walking toward him with a clear goal.
Baiyi jumped down from the lion with Diane and walked toward that soldier.
Without any communication, he took the space ring, checked the eight treasures inside, and after confirming they were correct, a smile appeared on Baiyi’s face.
These things are worth over twenty million, but if you went to an auction with that amount of gold coins, you’d get at most three items, maybe even less if a wealthy individual with no shortage of money happened to want them, you’d at most get a few unknown Federation items for over twenty million.
Baiyi took out a pitch-black pearl and handed it to Diane.
This was the Death God’s Treasure Pearl. In the undead category, the supreme god is the Death God, and the Death God’s possessions provide an extraordinary boost for necromancers.
Although he didn’t know the effect of the Death God’s Treasure Pearl, for a necromancer, it definitely increased potential and enhanced various magical powers.
Diane was stunned and instinctively asked, "Why did you buy this?"
"I saw you looking at it, so I bought it," Baiyi smiled and said, "Also... happy birthday."
Diane was stunned, counted the time, and realized the war ended exactly on her birthday.
She looked at the items, then at Baiyi with a bit of emotion, suddenly hugged him tightly, listening to his heartbeat, and responded softly, "I really like it."
Baiyi hugged her back and softly said, "I do too."
Diane paused, looked at him, her eyes growing brighter, "Are you talking about the pearl or me?"
Baiyi lowered his head, didn’t answer, but seemed to have said everything.
-----------------
Baiyi spent a total of seven days in the capital city, all spent with Diane.
The dimension owned by the Di Feng family was quite outrageous; it turned out to be a complete nether plane.
Still, a dimension that had been slaughtered by the undead realm, where new undead were born, and the idea of death was rather intense, making it the best cultivation sanctuary for necromancers.
After all, a plane of dead people, though the spirit bodies were few, was not much of a problem. Let’s not forget what the Di Feng family does; a family in the soul business wouldn’t lack spirit bodies.
The only things Baiyi helped Diane modify were skeletons, and low-level ones at that, and in seven days, Baiyi only modified exactly one hundred.
This wasn’t because Baiyi was unwilling to help her modify more but because there was no need to.
The battle methods of necromancers are completely different from alchemy. A same-tier bone dragon enhanced by Diane can easily beat the mechanical giant dragon Bodun.
Therefore, Baiyi directly chose the lowest level of skeletons, which was the maximization of benefits.
These skeletons were fully alloyed, allowing their bodies to withstand the power of a golden middle tier without falling apart.
Additionally, they were mechanized, equipped with various propellers and weapons.
Unfortunately, undead creatures can’t be modified with super alloy; otherwise, the combat power of these skeletons could rival gold.
Given that this super alloy carries some characteristics of the sun, for undead creatures, it’s definitely a great constraint.
However, in the next half a year, Baiyi probably wouldn’t see Diane; she’s already at level fifty-nine, and the next time she emerges, it will be at the golden middle tier, probably in half a year to a year.
When Baiyi returned to Dongwu City, he began selecting specialties for the dark side.
Matters over at the capital city didn’t require his attention, and Diane’s two uncles had also taken over two sub-border cities.
The happiest among them was Sabo, although managing the finances of three cities was tiring, he could take ten percent of the pure profit from each city.
That was an enormous profit.
Enough that he didn’t need to rush into things but could focus on city development.
In the cities undergoing reform, the revenue might initially dip a bit, but if allowed to grow like Dongwu City, the revenue could multiply dozens of times quickly, making ten percent still a large income.
[You’ve unlocked a dark side specialty selection×1.]
[Please choose one from the three specialties below.]
[Bloody Mark: Your attacks leave a mark on the enemy’s body. When the mark reaches ten layers, your next attack will deal 20% additional true damage.]
[Malicious Invasion: Your attacks carry strong malice, with each energy or physical damage assaulting the enemy’s will.]
[Rugged Recovery: Body recovery power +100%, endurance +30, now recover 2% life value per second when injured.]
Without any hesitation, Baiyi selected the Bloody Mark, although he felt that ten layers were a bit much, given that no one currently faced in the dark side could endure up to ten layers.
But what’s the difference between Malicious Invasion and Extremely Evil Spirit? The assassin watched the traits of extremely evil creatures and mimicked the skills.
Using it more might lead to awakening, given that it appeared among the choices, it might automatically awaken in the future, much like the Extreme Evil Domain.
In the instant of selection, Baiyi’s pupils turned scarlet but quickly faded into deep blue.
The Holy Spirit can now completely crush the current dark side; he even thought about devouring a couple of dangerous entities to enhance a bit, but considering the future tasks, he halted this suicidal action.
To exchange for the Divine Spirit Bone of a true god, Sessis, an ancient god’s sin must be integrated to completely erase the negative impact of a true god on a divine abomination.
However, even with the Life Goddess Finger Bone as a buffer, Baiyi felt that his spirit might not withstand one sin from Sessis, a pure ancient god.
Moreover, most of the items Baiyi selected from the Federation Treasure Vault this time are related to gods, so he must grasp the strengthening properly.
It can only be enhanced weakly, not strongly, and cannot let evil thoughts fall to a golden middle tier.
Doing so would mean no specialty selection upon ascending to a golden upper tier, wasting resources.
Furthermore, evil thoughts at a golden middle tier cannot withstand divine power.
While pondering these matters, Baiyi decisively got up to find Luoning, thinking that the random draw might yield something useless like a bottle of shampoo, wasting the reward.
When he found the young girl, she was looking intently at a small, completely transparent object in her hand like a card.
Baiyi could sense the aura of legendary equipment from it.
Opposite her was Aisha, who had been missing for almost half a year, weary all over. Clearly, obtaining this opportunity was not easy for her, but she handed it to Luoning without hesitation.
Feeling something, Luoning immediately turned her head, "Hey, Boss Bro is here, don’t speak yet, let me try Master’s new equipment."
