Although the Super Luck status was no longer active, the guaranteed hundreds of times Critical Hit bonus still brought Lin Bei considerable benefits after continuously challenging thirty-six World BOSSes.
First, for the world origin fragments, he obtained a total of thirty-six this time.
Each BOSS dropped exactly one.
As for other rewards, aside from not getting Primal Force again, he did receive many unowned Rule Power.
Lin Bei was quite satisfied with this.
After all, he was about to embark on the Path of the God of War, and these items were very crucial.
Aleria had mentioned that using Rule Power related to one's own abilities could unleash even more terrifying power from one's skills.
He glanced at the various abilities he currently possessed.
The most numerous were the various death-type abilities he had mastered through the advancement of his Shadow Ability.
As for other skills, no obvious rule attributes could be discerned.
In other words, for Lin Bei now, the most useful Rule Power should be that of the death attribute.
It was a pity that the attributes of the World BOSSes summoned through the Abyss Sea altar were not fixed. Therefore, although Lin Bei obtained a lot of Rule Power during his killing spree, there wasn't much that matched the 'death' attribute.
Of course, he could settle for the next best thing and use Rule Power with'shadow' attributes for death-type abilities, but the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
Currently, he only had 3,000 strands of 'death' attribute Rule Power and 6,000 strands of'shadow' attribute Rule Power on him. Combined, they weren't even 10,000 strands.
Lin Bei was not very satisfied with this.
He glanced at the Rule Power of other attributes on his body and muttered to himself, "It's a pity I can't use these Rule Power. If only I could convert their attributes, or trade them with others to exchange them all for the Rule Power of the attributes I need."
"It's just a shame I don't really want to contact Aleria right now, otherwise... I could trade with her."
"Generally speaking, only Legendary Level powerhouses can possess Rule Power. If I want to find someone to trade with, I should probably target those Legendary Level powerhouses."
"Hmm... I have quite a bit of Rule Power that seems suitable for the Blood Clan. How about... I contact Blood Spirit and see if she has any ideas?"
Thinking of this, Lin Bei used his Survivor Bracelet to directly contact Blood Spirit.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Soon, Blood Spirit's face appeared in the communication screen. At this moment, she seemed to be rushing across a battlefield.
Behind her, shouts of battle could be heard.
"What's going on with you? Are you being hunted?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm being hunted by the Blood Demon Clan."
"Blood Demon Clan? Do you have a feud?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of realization flashed in Lin Bei's eyes. He remembered the hundreds of Blood Puppet warriors he had instantly killed in the Island World; they seemed to be from the Blood Demon Clan.
"Between us, there is a deep-seated blood feud!"
"Actually, a long, long time ago, the Blood Clan and the Blood Demon Clan were the same race."
"But later, due to some ideologies within the clan, two major factions formed, constantly embroiled in internal strife."
"One day, people from the Order Faction appeared, forcibly suppressed the two major factions, and, in the name of maintaining order, seized our clan's most precious treasure, controlling the fate of our entire race."
"And it was at that time, under the arrangement of the Order Faction, that the Blood Clan and the Blood Demon Clan split into two races."
"According to my investigation, from the initial conflict to the later racial split, the shadow of the Order Faction seems to have been present throughout."
"Now I'm being hunted by the Blood Demon Clan because I've uncovered some useful evidence."
"By the way, Boss, can you boost my strength again?"
"These Blood Demon Clan members behind me are holding special equipment custom-made by the Order Faction, specifically targeting our blood origin. The power of that item comes from the Blood Clan's most precious treasure, a special equipment that the Order Faction has researched over the years, which can greatly restrict my abilities."
Lin Bei's expression became somewhat complex upon hearing this.
The actions of the Order Faction reminded him of a certain country on Blue Star that proclaimed itself a 'lighthouse'.
Their various operations were indeed surprisingly similar.
"No problem, I can temporarily boost your strength."
Lin Bei replied with a smile, then activated his Bond talent ability to boost Blood Spirit's attributes.
When he previously boosted Blood Spirit's attributes, he used a maximum 1% increase, but at that time, his Combat Power was just over 100 billion, so a 1% attribute increase only boosted Blood Spirit's Combat Power by about 1 billion.
But today was different from the past; his current attributes had undergone earth-shattering changes.
[Blood Qi: 14.7 trillion]
[Spirit: 13.9 trillion]
[Combat Power: 14.3 trillion]
[Realm: Epic Five-Star]
At this moment, if he were to boost a bonded target's attributes by 1%, he could directly increase their Combat Power by 143 billion points!
Through the video screen, Lin Bei glanced at the Blood Demon Clan members chasing Blood Spirit. Their Combat Power was almost identical to Blood Spirit's; it was just that the special equipment in their hands significantly restricted Blood Spirit's abilities.
Lin Bei thought for a moment and directly boosted Blood Spirit's attributes by 0.02% through the Bond talent.
Boom—!!!
In an instant, in the video screen, Blood Spirit's entire body's Blood Qi and Spirit rapidly erupted, directly breaking through the restrictions of the special equipment on the Blood Demon Clan members.
"Thank you, Boss!"
A hint of joy flashed in Blood Spirit's eyes. Then, with a cold expression, she looked at the Blood Demon Clan members behind her, instantly transforming into a blood-red light and turning back to kill them.
In less than half a minute, over a dozen Blood Demon Clan warriors with Combat Power around 1 billion points perished, falling into a pool of blood.
Blood Spirit picked up the special equipment from the ground and directly stored it in her storage space.
Afterward, she destroyed the bodies, created some misleading traces, and then, relieved, turned and left the scene.
"You're quite cautious."
Lin Bei, who had witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but comment.
"Alas, there's no other way. I've been investigating the shady dealings of the Order Faction recently, so I have to be careful."
"By the way, Boss, thank you for what just happened."
"Don't thank me. We're companions now, helping you is what I should do."
Lin Bei waved his hand, changing the subject. "By the way, I have a question for you."
"Please ask, Boss. Blood Spirit guarantees to tell you everything!"
"I want to ask you, does your Blood Spirit Clan have death-attribute Rule Power?"
"Death-attribute Rule Power? I think so?"
Blood Spirit said, "The Death Faction and our Blood Clan have considerable friction in the Chaos Battlefield, and there's a lot of fighting between them, so the clan should have collected quite a bit of death-attribute Rule Power."
"Boss, do you need death-attribute Rule Power?"
"Yes, can you find a way to get some?"
"Uh... this, it's a bit difficult. Rule Power belongs to the Legendary Level, and I'm not qualified yet."
Blood Spirit's face flashed with an awkward expression upon hearing this. She shook her head and said helplessly, "Those unowned Rule Power are all guarded by the clan elders. To get them, it seems... only through trade."
"Oh, that's no problem."
Lin Bei nodded and directly took out some Rule Power that the Blood Clan could use, placing them in front of him to show Blood Spirit: "I can trade with these. Take a look."
Blood Spirit's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she was instantly petrified.
After a long while, she slowly regained her senses, her face filled with disbelief.
"Bo... Boss, this Rule Power in your hand..."
"Oh, I occasionally obtained them. Not many. Can they be traded for death-attribute Rule Power, do you think?"
"Of course! And, Boss, this Rule Power in your hand is extremely useful for the cultivation of our Blood Clan's Legendary Level powerhouses!"
Blood Spirit's breathing was rapid, and she said excitedly, "And we Blood Clan have a lot of death-attribute Rule Power. Plus, the Death Faction people don't have a harmonious relationship with us, so over the years, a lot has accumulated in the clan."
"If you want to trade with this Rule Power, I personally feel... you can exchange it for at least five times the amount of death-attribute Rule Power!"
"Five times? Hmm, not bad."
Lin Bei nodded in satisfaction. "Then, after you've dealt with your current matters, come to the Underworld as soon as possible. I'll give you this Rule Power, and you can help me trade it."
"Okay, Boss! Wait for my good news! I will definitely not let you down!"
Blood Spirit nodded vigorously, her face full of joy, and hung up the communication.
Today was truly a lucky day for her.
Not only did she uncover evidence of some dirty tricks by the Order Faction behind the scenes, but she also obtained that special equipment that restricted their Blood Clan's power!
In addition to that, she was about to complete an astonishing transaction for the Blood Clan.
Once this matter was done, the clan elders would definitely look at her with new eyes.
At that time, her status within the clan would inevitably rise, and the power she wielded would also become greater.
This way, many of her planned matters would be easier to implement.
"However, Blood War seems to have been a bit off recently. The next time I meet the Boss, I'll tell him about Blood War and see how the Boss plans to handle this matter."
"I must say, ever since I had the Boss as my backer, things have become much smoother for me recently."
"The Boss is truly a lucky star."
Blood Spirit smiled, moving at extreme speed, flying rapidly towards the Blood Clan's stronghold.
Recently, she had been smiling more and more... Underworld, Abyss Sea.
Lin Bei looked at the huge Teleportation Array suspended in the sky, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.
Although he was very curious about what lay deep within the Abyss Sea, recalling his miserable experience of continuous vomiting before, he decisively dismissed the thought in his mind.
No zuo no die.
For him, being alive was more important than anything.
It wasn't worth putting himself in danger just to satisfy a little curiosity in his heart.
After challenging the World BOSS, Lin Bei directly left the Abyss Sea.
He first returned to the Sword·Extreme's stronghold and inquired about the recent development of Ye Liangchen and Zhang San's forces.
The result was that he didn't know until he asked, and when he asked, he was shocked.
The sphere of influence of Sword·Extreme had actually expanded to other main city areas!
Moreover, they had established branches in the areas of each main city.
Because of the name 'Beiming' as a signboard, the number of all members within Sword·Extreme had already exceeded one million!
On average, each main city area had at least 30,000 people.
"Are these people you recruited reliable?"
Lin Bei's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, don't worry! Absolutely reliable!"
Zhang San said with a smile, "We used a little trick on every Survivor who voluntarily joined our faction."
"What trick?"
Lin Bei asked curiously.
"Hehe, it's very simple. We used the Dao of Extremes to plant Extreme Dao Seeds deep within the hearts of all members, instilling them with extreme loyalty."
"In addition, I also had Ye Liangchen use Tianjian Pavilion's methods to set up a Soul Execution Sword Array around their Extreme Dao Seeds! If they have any ill intentions, the array will automatically trigger and shatter their souls!"
"At that time, even if they revive, they will become idiots due to soul damage!"
Zhang San's smile was brilliant, clearly very satisfied with his handling method.
"Uh... you thought it through quite thoroughly."
Lin Bei's mouth twitched again. After thinking for a moment, he still praised the other party.
"Hehe, it's a must! We Extreme Dao practitioners just have extreme methods, but we're not the lunatics others say we are. Our minds... are very smart!"
"Hmm, then you... keep up the good work."
Lin Bei nodded, casually gave Zhang San some rewards, and the latter excitedly left.
Afterward, Lin Bei came to Bailing's General Store.
All the other shops that were originally around had now gone out of business, and Bailing had taken them all over, directly turning the area into 'Bailing Street'.
"Boss, you're here? This is the recent income, please check it!"
Bailing appeared directly in front of Lin Bei, taking out over a hundred Storage Bags and handing them all to him.
"So much?"
"This is just a part of it. There's still a lot more, but I invested it in other businesses. Also, regarding the restaurant you mentioned, my eldest uncle and second uncle are currently helping out in other main cities, so I believe it will open soon."
"...Oh."
Lin Bei replied blankly, looking at the hundred-plus Storage Bags.
Each Storage Bag was filled with 100 million star stones.
This meant he had directly received over 10 billion star stones this time.
So many star stones were enough for him to complete the current stage of repair work on the lucky pendant.
Finally, with Bailing's joyful and excited gaze, Lin Bei took out the Storage Bag filled with one million kings medals.
"Well done. And... keep up the good work."
After speaking, Lin Bei turned and left, somewhat lost in thought.
After a while, he sat alone on a huge rock in the Dark Forest. The surrounding shadow monsters had long been shaken to death by the pressure emanating from his body.
He gazed up at the dark sky, lost in thought.
He suddenly realized that his employees seemed to be too capable.
The current pace of development had far exceeded his expectations.
Beep beep beep—!!!
Just then, Lin Bei's wristband vibrated. He looked down and saw a message from the Wildwind Squad.
"Boss, we've struck it rich this time! The brothers just wiped out a fleet and it turned out to be a logistics station, getting over ten thousand supply treasure chests! Hahahaha! We'll enter the Underworld to find you right away!"
"Oh, well done, you guys... keep up the good work."
Lin Bei said blandly, his expression numb.
This pace of development was indeed too fast.
He was afraid he couldn't handle it.
