IW: Chapter 211 - Newcomers Join, Arad Bai Ye: Today is another day of rushing for eighty thousand!
[Ding! Invitation to new members successful, new members are joining.]
[Arad Bai Ye, Valoran Bai Ye, Superhero White Night, One-Punch Man Bai Ye, Byakuya of Akame ga Kill, Marvel Bai Ye, Byakuya of American Horror Story have joined the chat group.]
Seven new members!?
Moreover, the world levels of the new members who joined this time are a bit high!
It seems that except for the worlds of Akame ga Kill and American Horror Story, the worlds of the other five new members can truly be described as terrifying.
Arad Bai Ye: [Yo everyone, good morning, turns out I also have a golden finger!]
Valoran Bai Ye: [Speaking of which, this ability sharing is quite interesting, but Kamui and Flying Thunder God seem useless, they can't break space.]
One-Punch Bai Ye: [The space barrier in your world is too strong, Arad is probably the same, right? I can't break it either. Speaking of which, what's the deal with my One-Punch? I also have Academy City here!]
Naruto Bai Ye: [Then your world is even more dangerous!]
One-Punch is one thing, but with Academy City too, those Demon Gods in the later stages, just thinking about them is terrifying.
Byakuya of Akame ga Kill: [Then according to that, I also have Muzan and the Demon Slayer Corps here. Let me introduce myself first. Currently, I am the king of the Western Empire in the Akame ga Kill world, which has never appeared. To the east is the Empire from Akame ga Kill, and to the south is the country with Muzan and the Demon Slayer Corps. As for other places, I haven't explored them yet!]
He first introduced himself upon entering the chat group.
Pirate Bai Ye: [Oh? A king?]
Byakuya of Akame ga Kill: [Yes, but I know what you're thinking. I don't have three thousand concubines. When I ascended, the empire was in constant turmoil, actually similar to Esdeath's empire. I've only just managed to get things in order recently!]
Everyone is their own person, who doesn't know those little tricks.
When he was contending for the throne, his other brothers were all unconvinced, and a civil war broke out within the empire, almost causing the empire to collapse.
Although Bai Ye won the war, the country is now in a mess and needs to recover, and he doesn't have the mind for lewd affairs.
Arad Bai Ye: [In that case, I'll introduce myself too. I should be considered an adventurer, but not the kind of adventurer you understand. I usually just do some quests to earn extra money.]
Shinigami Bai Ye: [Not going to Celia to top up five hundred gold coins?]
Arad Bai Ye: [Don't even mention it, I'm just a small fry, I don't want to be noticed by Held.]
Arad is very dangerous, but he knows where to hide to probably avoid trouble.
Valoran Bai Ye: [That sounds better than me, right? I'm currently in the Noxus Death Arena! That's right! It's the place where Xin Zhao used to be!]
He was completely numb.
He originally wanted to try using Kamui to escape, but found that he couldn't even break space. The spatial strength of this world was too high!
One-Punch Bai Ye: [Then you're pretty miserable. I'm doing pretty well though. What about having a bald neighbor?]
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Saitama lives next door to you? Then you're doing pretty badly, aren't you?]
The place Saitama lives is so shabby.
This is the suburbs, a particularly remote area. Saitama lives here because he's homeless.
One-Punch Bai Ye: [Indeed, I'm doing poorly, but it's good to have someone protecting me next door. Saitama and I have a good relationship, and life is pretty decent!]
Marvel Bai Ye: [I opened a small tavern in Marvel, and nothing much has happened.]
Arad Bai Ye: [Given up?]
Looking at this, isn't it just giving up completely?
Marvel Bai Ye: [I can only give up. I don't know anything, and I don't have any heaven-defying bloodline abilities or anything. I'll just see if I die from Thanos's snap.]
Saving people?
That's what superheroes should do.
And he's just an ordinary person!
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [My situation is pretty much a collection of American horror movies. Haddonfield, Elm Street, Crystal Lake, The Nun, Thomas Hewitt, all of these exist. I just don't know if Final Destination exists.]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [Oh! There's no Umbrella!]
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [That would be sci-fi, no longer horror.]
Naruto Bai Ye: [Then what do you do? Why don't you just stay away from America? Isn't it American Horror?]
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [An exorcist scamming people...]
Zombie Bai Ye: [Awesome!]
Knowing this is American Horror and still wanting to be an exorcist to scam people?
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [I was born with a sixth sense. If I feel danger, I'll run immediately. I won't be like the protagonists in American Horror who have to see what's inside!]
Of course, he wasn't stupid. With this ability, plus his understanding of horror movies in the American Horror world, Bai Ye was able to avoid these things and scam some money.
Superhero White Night: [Everyone, save me!]
Hong Kong Bai Ye: [What's going on?]
Before, he had been wondering why one of them hadn't spoken up.
Why did he suddenly appear and ask for help?
Naruto Bai Ye: [Are you in Heavenly River City now? Use your abilities to escape?]
He didn't know what was going on with this guy.
They wanted to save him, but they couldn't cross the spatial passage.
Superhero White Night: [My situation is very troublesome. I'm not in Heavenly River City. I'm about twenty-eight thousand years before the plot begins. In short, I'm currently in Hua Ye's era, and I'm a criminal.]
Because he was inexplicably teleported by a space-time wormhole, and Bai Ye didn't have the characteristics of an angel.
He was directly taken as a criminal and imprisoned.
Hua Ye was curious at first how Bai Ye managed to open a space-time wormhole with such a weak body.
Then he threw him to Su Ma Li. Su Ma Li himself wasn't good at research, so he would probably throw him to some researchers to study his body.
How could he accept this!
After he told the others in the chat group about his predicament, everyone fell silent.
To actually transmigrate to that period, it felt like his situation was far from perfect.
Firstly, his lifespan is shared with them, so he can live forever. This point alone will probably lead to endless research. Secondly, once Kaisha defeats Hua Ye later, Hua Ye will definitely not be able to take Bai Ye away from here.
And whether Kaisha, who has suffered so much humiliation, will spare his life when she sees a male here, is also unknown.
Moreover, the concept of twenty-eight thousand years before the plot is too vague; no one knows exactly when this is.
Naruto Bai Ye: [Chat group, time to work! Where's your newcomer joining reward?]
They couldn't save him, so they could only let the chat group save him!
With seven people joining, they should be able to draw a lottery, right?
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [There's a lottery?]
[Ding! Welcome new members to the chat group. Each person receives one lottery chance.]
Naruto Bai Ye: [You can draw special items from your world in the lottery. Want to try?]
Marvel Bai Ye: [OK!]
Although he had given up, if he drew something good that could instantly make him a god, he felt he could still try to save something.
[Ding! One chance used. Congratulations on obtaining: Super Soldier Serum and Manufacturing Method (Marvel), Sun Breathing (Akame ga Kill), Undead Magic (American Horror Story), 0.5 Generation Divine Body Research Technology Compendium (Superhero), Swiftwind Swordplay (Valoran), Side-effect-free Ghost Hand (Arad), Psychokinesis (One-Punch Man)]
One-Punch Bai Ye: [Psychokinesis? Isn't that Fubuki and Tatsumaki's... Too bad it's not the body limiter removal, even if my hair falls out, it's fine.]
It's a pity it's not Saitama-sensei's body limiter, but it's still pretty good.
Biochemical Bai Ye: [Speaking of Super Soldier Serum, do you guys want the T-Virus? The perfect one!]
This thing should also provide some improvement for them, right?
Marvel Bai Ye: [Yes, do you want to research this?]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [Yes, I'll let Red Queen research it. You have the finished product and the manufacturing method over there, Red Queen will be able to handle it very quickly!]
After trading the Super Soldier Serum, the Biochemical Bai Ye handed over all the perfect T-Virus to the few people who had just joined the chat group.
Perfect T-Virus also appeared in the item storage slots of the seven Bai Yes in the chat group.
Byakuya of Akame ga Kill: [Too bad, it would be great if there were Imperial Arms, but Sun Breathing is also fine.]
But it's a pity it's only Sun Breathing. In fact, what's truly powerful isn't the breathing technique, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
But...
His physique?!
Byakuya of Akame ga Kill: [Wait?! Why do I feel a sense of amplification? My body is just at normal human level!]
No?
What's going on?
Superhero White Night: [Indeed, I feel my physique has also become stronger, but I haven't used the T-Virus...]
Naruto Bai Ye: [We have the passive Eight Gates, which permanently improves physical fitness. It's almost at the Eight Gates level!]
Awesome!
They just wondered why their stamina, speed, and strength had suddenly increased so much.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [What about the others? How do you feel about this ability?]
Valoran Bai Ye: [I'm a happy Yasuo now. When I comprehend it, I'll make you all happy Yasuo too!]
Arad Bai Ye: [Ghost Hand, my situation is that my arm is normal, but it has the characteristics of the Ghost Hand. Speaking of which, will I be considered a Ghostblade later? Who should I go to for a class change?]
This isn't a game, so he naturally can't find someone to change classes. But then again, if he doesn't change classes, will he have to search for a Ghost God contract like Giegue?
Having just obtained the Ghost Hand, Bai Ye was still somewhat bewildered by it.
Byakuya of American Horror Story: [Mine is probably spiritism, nothing much to say. I'll practice it later and see, then I won't be a scammer anymore!]
Undead Magic involves many things, even black magic. He felt that he still needed to study for a while.
But at least he now had life-saving abilities. The abilities of the other world Bai Yes, plus the shared Eight Gates and T-Virus, at least things like Amaterasu, which burns ghosts, he could still use.
Superhero White Night: [I'm speechless, they actually gave me a research direction...]
Naruto Bai Ye: [Wait, First Generation Divine Body seems to be only ten times that of an ordinary person, right? My 0.5 Generation Divine Body ability is five times. So with the T-Virus and the passive Eight Gates, aren't you stronger than a 0.5 Generation Divine Body?]
Pirate Bai Ye: [Speaking of which, Divine Body is currently the same concept as Super Soldier, right?]
Superhero White Night: [Yes, First Generation Divine Body is actually First Generation Super Soldier. Different civilizations have different names, but Divine Body sounds a bit more advanced.]
Naruto Bai Ye: [Then what are you afraid of? Even at seven gates normal state, you're stronger than a 0.5 Generation Divine Body. Your timeline is even better for development!]
If it were a later timeline, it would feel even more difficult. Now is still better.
Superhero White Night: [You're right. Then I'll just wait for now. If changing characters' fates gives rewards, then I'll wait.]
He originally thought about just running away, but then he thought he could temporarily stay here. At least his life wasn't threatened.
Arad Bai Ye: [Changing fate, huh? Then I'll go do quests first. See you!]
Moonlight Tavern.
Having just injected himself with the T-Virus, Bai Ye prepared.
"Socia, a glass of wine."
"Adventurer, are you going to undertake a quest?"
Socia placed the wine in her hand in front of Bai Ye, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Bai Ye was a regular customer here.
He called himself an adventurer.
However, he always accepted quests that helped town residents.
For example, helping old grandmothers buy groceries or running errands.
The entire tavern knew about this adventurer.
At this point in time, the emerging group of adventurers had not yet risen, and Bai Ye's self-proclaimed title naturally attracted the attention of some people. However, after they learned that Bai Ye only did such trivial tasks.
Coupled with Bai Ye's phrase, "Can an adventurer's business be considered small?" followed by a series of archaic expressions, the entire tavern was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Haha, Bai Ye, what quest are you planning to do recently? I have to go out for a while, can you help me look after my child?"
A drunkard next to him joked, as he happened to be going out during this time, so he entrusted Bai Ye to look after his child.
Bai Ye had done such quests before!
"Please, Yuese, I won't be doing such low-level tasks now!"
Bai Ye pushed Yuese away directly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
From today onwards, he was going to tell everyone that he was no longer his old self!
"Bai Ye, don't be so stubborn, it's very dangerous outside right now!"
Yuese said drunkenly. Although he had teased Bai Ye earlier, it was just a friendly jest.
Besides, wasn't Bai Ye doing these things every day just to make a living? He happened to have work that Bai Ye could do, so he didn't think much of it.
But if Bai Ye wanted to go out, it would be dangerous!
For some unknown reason, the flora and fauna on the plants throughout the Arad continent began to mutate, gradually affecting human safety.
Even when they went out to do tasks themselves, they were extremely cautious.
If Bai Ye went out in a fit of pique, he would be doomed.
"That's right, Bai Ye, just look at the child, it's too dangerous to go out!"
At least in the Belmar Principality, in Hutton Mar, it was relatively safe.
"Yuese, I've made up my mind, no one can stop a man from going on an adventure!"
Bai Ye picked up the wine Socia had placed in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
If he didn't have a golden finger and his own strength was insufficient, he naturally wouldn't choose to go out, after all, his life was more important.
He had also cultivated himself, following the path of a fighter, but unfortunately, his talent was limited.
So he could only cultivate while taking on simple tasks, but now that he had a golden finger, he certainly couldn't keep accepting these tasks, could he?
Besides, the rules of the chat group were there.
If he really did nothing, without rewards, he would truly become mediocre later on.
He didn't want to continue being so mediocre!
"That's right, no one can stop a man from going on an adventure."
Socia nodded in response. While she was surprised by Bai Ye's courage, she also felt a little regretful for him.
She had seen Bai Ye's strength before, and judging by his strength, he didn't seem very powerful.
"Alright, you really are stubborn!"
Since it had come to this, Yuese naturally understood that he seemed to have no reason to say anything else to stop Bai Ye from going out.
However, he finally took that step. He felt as if this guy was different from before.
"What task did you take?"
Socia asked curiously, then placed a glass of wine in front of Bai Ye: "This one's free."
She stayed in the tavern every day, most keen on watching the fun, and of course, learning about other people's affairs.
After all, they basically stayed in the tavern. If she couldn't get any information every day, she would surely die of boredom.
"Investigating the anomaly in Gran Forest."
In fact, Bai Ye probably knew that, according to the current timeline, it should be the timeline when Shiroke was transferred to the Melancholy Cave, and this anomaly was actually caused by Shiroke's transfer here. Of course, it wasn't entirely Shiroke's fault.
However, Bai Ye temporarily had no intention of contacting Shiroke this time. This task was just to investigate Gran Forest.
He also knew his own limits. If he provoked Shiroke at this time, even if he went with the Four Sword Saints, he would most likely die there.
Moreover, he actually wanted to try and see if he could change Shiroke's fate, thereby breaking the Second Sister's prophecy.
Wait!?
Wasn't that contrary to his previous thoughts?
Initially, Bai Ye only wanted to avoid attracting the Second Sister's attention, so he had been hiding himself. But now Bai Ye also realized that to participate in everyone's destiny, it would be impossible not to attract Held's attention.
How could he not want the power of ghosts and gods in one hand, with a Wave Mark rotating above his head, blood overflowing from his body, sword qi sharp and exposed, while simultaneously controlling the ability of vengeful spirits.
After all, if all five professions were transferred, then he couldn't say he was a Red Dog, couldn't say he didn't need a Blind Man for a raid, or a 34-support.
"Gran Forest, then it will be quite dangerous for you to go there."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's destination, Socia immediately thought that it would be fraught with danger for Bai Ye to go at this time.
"No, Gran Forest, you can enter it?"
Socia originally thought Bai Ye was in great danger, but then suddenly realized a problem: how could Bai Ye possibly enter Gran Forest?
Gran Forest was protected by a magic circle, unless...
"That's right, because of the mutation of plants and animals, the magic circle has developed problems, so I plan to follow this line and enter to investigate."
Socia's expression clearly showed that she had already figured out how Bai Ye intended to enter.
He didn't hide it either. The reason he could enter was, ultimately, Alice stirring up trouble behind the scenes. After the arsonists later entered and set Gran Forest ablaze, the elves sacrificed their lives to extinguish the great fire in Gran Forest and purify it, thus calming the situation.
All the elves who underwent this sacrifice died, and the only one who survived lost her identity as an elf. That person, of course, was Celia, the woman full of hope.
He recalled a night years ago, when he heard her say, "Adventurer, please save me." How much he regretted saving her then. If he hadn't saved her, he wouldn't have gone so many years without a girlfriend, nor would all his money have gone into the hands of a certain penguin.
"Then please go and investigate thoroughly. Here's some wine for you; it can help you recover at critical moments."
Since it was about Gran Forest and he was going there, as an elf, she naturally had to give Bai Ye some supplies, at least to ensure Bai Ye brought back some information from inside.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Free wine, and this wine was Socia's special brew, completely different from what was drunk in the tavern. It could restore vitality and magic power.
Seeing Socia giving Bai Ye wine, Yuese immediately started to jeer: "Hey, hey, hey, Socia, that's not fair! Do good looks get perks?"
He didn't actually want Socia's wine; he was just teasing Socia's behavior. Who didn't know the personality of the Moonlight Tavern's proprietress?
She wouldn't even stop fights in the tavern; she'd just wait for you to fight, even enjoying the spectacle. Then, when you woke up the next day, the fighters would receive Socia's bill.
Today, she was actually so generous, giving Bai Ye so much wine?
She was really afraid that young Bai Ye would die!
"That's right, proprietress, I think I'm handsome too, what do you think of me? I can take a steel wool!"
"Hey, with your looks, forget steel wool, you can't even handle a fireball!"
"That's right, the proprietress's taste isn't that heavy!"
Please!
If you stood next to a Goblin in Gran Forest, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
And you still have the nerve to say you're handsome?
They teased Bai Ye, but truthfully, his looks were indeed good. There were even noble ladies who wanted to marry Bai Ye to let him live off them, but he was ambitious and refused.
With that, how could a little Goblin have the nerve to compare himself to him?
"Young Bai Ye is a man with dreams. I just want to know what's happening inside Gran Forest, so I just gave young Bai Ye some wine!"
Socia lightly covered her lips. She naturally didn't mind this level of joking.
Everyone naturally wouldn't dwell on it. Although everyone secretly admired the beautiful proprietress, they also knew that some things shouldn't go too far.
It's just, who knows which scoundrel will benefit from her later.
"I'm really looking forward to you coming back and telling me stories from there!"
Socia rested her chin on her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed. That elegant appearance made Bai Ye sigh inwardly. As expected of an elf, the most beautiful girls in Arad were probably the elves and those from the Demon World.
Of course, there were many beautiful ones in places like the Celestial Realm as well.
"…"
He felt like if this continued, he might be developing a tendency to be a simp.
Bai Ye temporarily suppressed these messy thoughts, feeling that now was not the time to think about those idiotic love stories.
Bai Ye wouldn't fantasize that Socia had feelings for him now; it was simply because he was going to Gran Forest.
"Socia, I'm leaving. I'll tell you if there's any news from inside."
Bai Ye stood up, then prepared to leave for Gran Forest.
He wondered if he would be able to see the Thirteenth Apostle in Gran Forest.
"En."
Looking at Bai Ye's retreating figure, Socia was also a little lost in thought. It seemed he had really changed.
But, they had only met yesterday, could a person change so much in one day?
After leaving Socia's tavern, Bai Ye went to the blacksmith Linnaeus.
"Uncle Linnaeus, do you have a ready-made longsword I can use?"
Since he had the Ghost Hand, Bai Ye also planned to abandon his original fists. At least for now, he should follow the path of a Ghost Swordsman.
And with the various abilities from his other selves from other worlds, he actually had many abilities he could use now, but he still needed to improve his own strength.
The regrettable thing was that he didn't have a game template, so he couldn't level up by grinding monsters. In terms of improving strength, he was actually quite confused himself. Perhaps he could only abandon this human body, or use his human body to break through its limits.
Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension... Join the glorious evolution!
"A longsword? Didn't you say before that you wanted to forge a pair of iron fists?"
Linnaeus's expression after speaking clearly implied, "Young man, you need to be down-to-earth, don't just come up with new ideas every day."
"I feel my talent in fighting is limited, Uncle Linnaeus, I'm going to follow the path of swordsmanship!"
"Bai Ye, there are longswords, and I can give you a better price. You need a sword so urgently, did you take on a task?"
Linnaeus asked curiously.
Bai Ye naturally had no intention of hiding his answer, nodding and responding: "That's right, heading to Gran Forest."
"Awesome!"
Linnaeus looked up at Bai Ye in surprise, then gave a thumbs up.
He admired Bai Ye quite a bit, but young people, it's normal to be ambitious.
"Then you still need to be careful. Some of the Goblins from Loran left and went to Gran Forest. Recently, I've heard about many monsters injuring people, and even the timid Goblins have become violent now!"
Linnaeus reminded Bai Ye while picking out a weapon for him.
"Uncle Linnaeus, I have enough money, you can pick a slightly more expensive one for me!"
Bai Ye still had some money, having saved quite a bit from previous tasks, just enough to buy a decent blade at this time.
"Hey kid, take this Autumn Leaf Blade. You must treat it well, treat a blade like you treat your lover!"
Saying that, Linnaeus pulled out a crimson-colored katana from a pile of blades and placed it in front of Bai Ye.
"Forget the money. I was your master for a while, so take this blade with you!"
For a period, Bai Ye had followed him to learn blacksmithing, so he was half his master, right?.
