The same cold drink shop, the same table, but the guests are slightly different.
There were three people sitting opposite Bai You.
Bai Lang was an old acquaintance, needless to say, but the two people beside her were strangers.
"Hey, White Wolf, would you like to introduce yourself?" A guy with his hands on his shoulders and blowing his hair said to White Wolf.
"That's right. We are both so handsome. We need to let others get to know us properly."
Another person also crossed his arms and echoed.
Bai Lang was so angry when she saw these two funny guys. If possible, she really wanted to pretend that she didn't know them at all.
"Don't mind them. These two are just here to hang out. Let's get down to business."
When the two heard what White Wolf said, they immediately became unhappy and wanted to say something to explain, but White Wolf did not give them the chance.
The woman simply pressed the two guys under the table, one in each hand.
Bai You took a sip of peach cold drink and watched the show quietly.
While restraining the two men, Bai Lang slowly spoke to Bai You.
"The compensation we mentioned earlier may have to change."
"…"
Bai You didn't say anything, but his expression turned cold. The other party wanted to burn the bridge after crossing it and go back on his word.
"Don't get me wrong, we will still pay you, just in a different way."
Bai You kept silent and signaled Bai Lang to continue with his eyes.
"We plan to use special equipment or soul crystals to cover part of the reward."
"Um?"
What Bai You didn't expect was that the reward proposed by Bai Lang was even better than simply giving him Paradise Coins.
Needless to say, soul crystals are strategic resources anywhere.
The concept of special equipment is relatively broad, generally referring to all equipment except conventional weapons and armor.
For example, detection equipment, jewelry equipment such as necklaces and rings, or equipment with more special abilities can all be included in this category.
Bai You's arm armor of destruction can also be considered special equipment.
This kind of thing is not good or bad, it only depends on whether it is suitable. If you meet a very suitable contractor, this equipment can be sold at a sky-high price.
"I can give you a list. You can pick two pieces of equipment or a soul crystal. After you make your selection, you will also receive 50,000 Paradise Coins."
While Bai You was stunned, Bai Lang had already completely subdued the two men, and then took out a piece of golden paper from the storage space.
Bai You looked at the paper and scratched his head. If he was not mistaken, this piece of paper had a grade.
What's more, it's of gold quality.
Rich and inhumane! Rich and inhumane!
The Silver Moon Adventure Group represented by White Wolf showed goodwill to Bai You. However, he could not accept it casually.
"This part that exceeds the compensation must have some additional conditions, right?" Bai You put down his drink and decided to ask Bai Lang for clarification.
"Of course, there is no free lunch in the park. We naturally want to get rewards for our efforts."
White Wolf did not hide anything and stated the Silver Moon Adventure Group's requirements in a concise and clear manner.
"Do you know the basic passive scroll?"
Hearing this, Bai You's eyes flashed. Bai Lang was very keen to notice the change in his expression and was a little surprised.
"Have you obtained it? Have you used it? What is the basic passive skill?"
Bai You shook his head, indicating that he had never obtained the basic passive scroll. Bai Lang was slightly disappointed, which gave Bai You some clues.
White Wolf just asked three questions in a row, each one faster than the last.
Eager, eager.
Now, Bai You finally understood what the Silver Moon Adventure Group was trying to do.
Basic passive is a general term for a class of powerful passive skills. This type of passive skill requires a large initial investment but has a low return.
For low-level contractors, investing too many resources in this type of skill is not worth it.
But if a high-level contractor obtains this kind of passive ability, even if a lot of resources are invested, the improvement it brings is huge.
This is the difference brought about by attribute accumulation.
The higher the level, the more attributes the contractor accumulates, and the greater the percentage increase brought by the basic passive.
However, after reaching a high level, the explosion rate of this type of basic passive skill is extremely low, but it is more likely to be produced by low-level contractors.
White Wolf's meaning is also very clear.
In short, they wanted to support Bai You in order to get the basic passive scroll in his hand.
"Hurry up and agree to it! If you can help us get a basic passive skill of the charm system, I will get you whatever you want!"
"You are quite capable, and the chances are great. Our lives are in your hands."
The two guys who were beaten up by the White Wolf stood up, still standing with their shoulders crossed.
It seems that the reason they are here today is because of the basic passive scroll.
"You should be qualified to know about the next world. As long as you go, I can also give you some resources as a personal gift."
After saying everything that should and shouldn't be said, Bai Lang looked at Bai You, waiting for his response.
There was a barely perceptible gloom between her heroic brows, and she was keeping an eye on the two idiot subordinates behind her out of the corner of her eye.
"These two heartless guys actually only care about it until this point..."
…
Although Bai You didn't know what was going on between the three opponents, he was so eager for charm and his basic passive ability.
But he knew that the other party had found the wrong person by looking for him.
"Let me make it clear first, the probability of me getting the basic passive is very low."
"No. As long as you perform exceptionally well in the next world, you will almost certainly get a scroll based on your contribution to Paradise..."
Bai You stretched out his hand and stopped Bai Lang from saying the next words.
"I have very bad luck."
"Luck value is low? As long as it's not too outrageous, it won't affect..."
"My luck is so bad that it has affected my daily life."
Bai Lang was stunned. Even though Bai You said so, she still found it hard to believe.
The two idiots at the back, due to their profession, urgently need a charm-based basic passive to save their lives.
Perhaps because he didn't want to trouble the big sister too much, White Wolf only learned about this matter recently.
Time was running out, and Bai You was almost the only person she could think of.
Bai Lang didn't disbelieve the fact that Bai You had bad luck, it was just that he was his last straw and Bai Lang didn't want to believe it.
Bai You was helpless. He was also tempted by the donations, but since it concerned other people's lives, he didn't want to speak without thinking.
"Prove it to me." There was a tremor in White Wolf's voice.
"Luck can add to the manufacturing of items. You are an excellent mechanic, so it is impossible for you to have bad luck."
These two brothers have worked with her all the way up from the first level, and they are friends for life and death.
White Wolf didn't want to give up the last glimmer of hope.
However, the two brothers stood up to dissuade White Wolf.
"Big Sister White Wolf, forget it. You have already paid too much for us. You used a lot of the profits distributed by the group to exchange for low-level items..."
"The two of us have our own destiny, but if you continue like this, how are you going to survive in the next world? Quickly exchange the resources back and use them to improve yourself..."
The two talked a lot, and Bai Lang almost cried. But she still stared at Bai You, asking him to give proof.
"The panel is here. It's notarized by Paradise, so it can't be faked."
Bai You showed his lucky attribute panel, and the blood-red "-2" was clearly visible on it.
"No, I don't look at attributes. Luck is something that cannot be represented by numbers in many cases."
The white wolf still refused to give in.
Faced with her repeated requests, Bai You did not show any impatience.
He could understand the feelings of this strong female deputy group leader.
There is very little true love in Paradise, and repaying kindness with enmity happens in every world. In order to survive, countless people abandon morality, self-esteem, and bottom line.
Some people say that human nature is like this, weak, cunning, profit-driven, and everything they do is to survive by any means necessary.
However, people have more than just evil sides.
Isn't this the case with the three people in front of us?
In the cruel backdrop of paradise, there is still warmth.
"Give me some white and green treasure chests."
White Wolf did as he was told, and five white treasure chests appeared in a row on the table.
"What is the general profit of a white treasure chest?" Bai You asked, rolling up his sleeves.
"800~1500 Paradise Coins."
Bai Lang answered quickly and firmly, but there was a hint of barely perceptible sadness in her eyes.
She seemed to know what Bai You was going to do.
"Yeah, that's right, you watched it."
Bai You stretched out his hand and opened them from left to right one by one. The unboxing spectacle that he had never shown to anyone else appeared in front of Bai Lang.
The first treasure chest, black fog spread out.
Although there was no black fog in the second and third ones, there were sounds of wailing souls.
The fourth one was even more outrageous, as a black monster actually emerged.
And the fifth one, which was the finale, actually exploded directly.
That's right, it exploded.
Total income from five treasure chests: 444 Paradise Coins.
"Do you understand? The moment I open it, the reward turns into a disaster."
Bai You sighed. Perhaps it was because the Le Zi people had helped him gain better fortune in the previous world. Now, retribution has come.
The fifth treasure chest should have been a good explosive prop, but when Bai You opened it, it exploded directly.
The same is probably true for the first four treasure chests.
The result of opening the treasure chest this time made White Wolf feel disheartened. He sat there in a daze for a long time.
Seeing this, Bai You pushed the golden paper back in front of Bai Lang and stood up to pay the bill.
"Wait." Bai Lang called out to Bai You. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"You can choose whatever you want. You helped connect us with Master Frey. This is what you deserve."
"Big sister, let's just give 100,000 Paradise Coins as agreed last time. There's no need..."
The two brothers tried to persuade him, but White Wolf waved his hand and stopped them from saying anything more.
She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Bai You was discovered by her. He was one of the few low-level contractors who was not sponsored by anyone. It would not be easy to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.
"Okay, I promise you, if there is a chance to get the basic passive, I will do my best."
Bai You picked up the gold paper and selected a piece of equipment.
"I only want this one, and nothing else."
The equipment that Bai You chose was also an arm armor.
[Bloodthirsty Demon Armor]
Origin: Upside Down
Quality: Dark purple
Type: Armor/Arm Guard
Durability: 124/124
Equipment Requirement: None
Equipment Effect 1: Bloodthirsty Aura (active). Once activated, the wearer's health will immediately drop by 50% (or more) of the maximum health limit, and will drop to a maximum of 1 health point.
Equipment Effect 2: The more you fight, the braver you become (passive). When your health decreases, the wearer's strength attribute will increase.
(Determined by current health value. If health value is less than 50%, strength is increased by 3. If health value is less than 30%, strength is increased by 8. If health value is less than 10%, it reaches the upper limit, strength is increased by 15)
Equipment Effect 3: Bloody Resuscitation (active). After it is activated, the health lost by the Bloodthirsty Aura can be released.
(It can only be used after the bloodthirsty aura takes effect for 60 seconds.)
Introduction: Only those who have fallen into the abyss know the preciousness of life. A mayfly shakes a tree and lives towards death.
Rating: 260 (dark purple equipment rating is 151~260)
This equipment is extremely extreme. If you operate it carelessly, you may die on the spot.
This piece of equipment exchanges health for strength. The lower the health, the stronger the strength attribute.
It looks like this is a desperately good piece of equipment.
But in fact, if someone really dares to fight with this equipment, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Please note that the full bonus of strength attribute can only be obtained after the health value drops below 10%.
What does it mean to be below 10%?
It is almost a dying state.
If there is no special equipment or special physique that is immune to dying, when the bonus is full, the wearer will almost lose the strength to resist.
However, the gains of the first two levels are far less than the costs, which can be said to be tasteless and a pity to throw away.
Although skill 3, Bloody Recovery, can restore a large amount of health, it will take 60 seconds after all.
In battle, waiting 60 seconds? The daylily is cold.
Therefore, this bloodthirsty demon armor is no different from suicide equipment.
So why did Bai You choose it?
One reason is that Bai You needs a temporary strength attribute bonus.
The condition for using the heavy sniper rifle in Rose Paradise is that the strength attribute reaches 30 points or more.
Baiyou currently has only 24 points, which is a huge gap.
If you want to make up for it, you can't rely on some ordinary enhancement potions.
However, this bloodthirsty demon armor can make up for this very well.
Another reason is that the negative effects of this bloodthirsty demon armor are not that serious for Bai You.
Bai You's energy life form makes him immune to dying, so he doesn't have to worry about the negative effects that will occur after his health drops to 10%.
Moreover, after the professional awakening, Bai You will not die even if his health value drops to zero, let alone 10%.
Only when his health, mana, and natural energy all return to zero will he be truly dead.
After all, as long as body energy and natural energy are there, life energy can be converted at any time.
Secondly, he also has the Wall of Sighs for defense, and he is not afraid of enemies attacking when his health is low.
The negative effects of this bloodthirsty demon armor were completely within Bai You's tolerance range. For him, this was an extremely excellent piece of equipment.
Bai Lang was a little surprised at Bai You's choice, but she didn't ask much and silently took out the equipment and gave it to him.
Along with it, there are three soul crystals (medium) and 50,000 Paradise Coins.
Of course, this is not for nothing.
The two signed a contract, stipulating that if Bai You obtained the basic passive skill, he could only sell it to Bai Lang.
"I hope you can shine in the battle for the world."
Bai Lang sincerely wishes that if Bai You can make a huge contribution, even if his luck is extremely bad, then the basic passive ability is not impossible.
"Um."
Bai You responded, then went out and headed for the Molten Land.
Unconsciously, the burden on his shoulders became heavier. He had to try his best.
