After a moment of silence, Yimi said, "You have to be careful. Although you can repel them, as long as you have the Life Crystal, they will keep appearing."
"Next time, there might be more than just two, or stronger divine followers might come for you."
"It's fine," Bai Ye looked at Yimi and said, "By then, I will have become stronger too."
Bai Ye appeared very confident, and he had reasons to be so. Even with the abilities he currently possessed, Bai Ye had significant room for growth.
Yimi still harbored fear towards the divine followers. Beyond their strength, it was more importantly the fact that a deity stood behind them.
No one knew the true intentions of a deity, and the unknown was always the most frightening.
However, feeling Bai Ye's confidence, Yimi had nothing more to say. He had already defeated the divine followers; wasn't he allowed to show off a little?
Moreover, Yimi did not deny that the strength Bai Ye displayed had also given him considerable confidence.
Yimi said, "Regardless, be careful. I'm leaving now. After I join the Hidden Dragon Society, I'll find a way to contact you."
Bai Ye nodded and then said, "Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
What was Bai Ye waiting for? Of course, he was waiting for the quest rewards!
"You helped Allen defeat the Rhine Company, reward received: Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon x1"
"The death rate of the android faction did not reach 30% (currently 13%), additional reward received: Madman II System x1"
"The death rate of the android faction did not reach 20% (currently 13%), additional reward received: Wish Stone x1"
A moment later, the quest completion prompts appeared. The Rhine Company was defeated, and the death rate of the participating androids was 13%. Both additional rewards were obtained.
Bai Ye was not surprised. He had practically fed the meat to their mouths; if these androids still couldn't devour it, they deserved to be slapped to death with tofu, to save them further embarrassment.
"Let's go!" With the quest completed, Bai Ye no longer lingered. He turned and left with Yimi. Taking out the Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon from his inventory, he said, "Keep this safe. The Hidden Dragon Society will definitely need this. If you bring it out at the right time, it will undoubtedly boost your status."
Yimi nodded, "Mhmm."
A red quality item...
Yimi glanced at it and didn't hesitate to accept it. Primarily, Yimi found himself not particularly excited, as if this level of reward was expected, and Bai Ye's actions should naturally be this impressive.
Bai Ye was satisfied with this attitude. Demonstrating his combat prowess was indeed necessary; Yimi had clearly become much more obedient.
Watching Yimi store the item, Bai Ye continued, "The Hidden Dragon Society is based on its own异能 world, but to expand its influence, accepting chosen ones from other worlds is inevitable."
Yimi said, "I have inquired about that. They are already recruiting externally, but they are not looking for many people and are very strict. To put it plainly, they want to recruit experts, not purely pursue numbers."
"That won't be a problem for you," Bai Ye said, "However, it's not that harmonious within the Hidden Dragon Society."
Yimi looked confused, "Mhmm?"
Bai Ye said, "The current president of the Hidden Dragon Society is named Nan Liang, but the esteemed president does not hold the most influence. Both vice presidents, Liu Shiyue and Jin Jinse, can stand on equal footing with Nan Liang."
Yimi asked, "Internal disputes?"
Bai Ye replied, "That's not easy to say. After all, in terms of unity, their foundation comes from the same world, giving them a natural advantage. But factions definitely exist."
Yimi pondered, "Which side should I choose?"
"Which side isn't important," Bai Ye said, "What matters is which side will allow you to be utilized more quickly."
Based on his memories from his previous life, none of the three current leaders of the Hidden Dragon Society made it to the late stages. They either died or stepped down.
Therefore, it really didn't matter who he followed.
Since they would all be replaced, there was no issue of other big figures rising to power and ostracizing him. Besides, only those without strength would be ostracized; those with great strength would only be courted.
Bai Ye continued, "Vice President Liu Shiyue is currently planning a large-scale mission, possibly a large-scale forbidden zone. He should be short of people right now, especially experts. If you go to him, it should be easier for you to join the Hidden Dragon Society, have more opportunities to prove yourself, and climb higher."
Yimi nodded, "I'll give it a try."
Bai Ye added, "He is likely in one of the twenty-four southern sectors right now. He wants to go out to sea, so you need to hurry."
Yimi replied, "Okay, I understand."
Bai Ye waved his hand, "Go then."
Bai Ye wasn't particularly worried about Yimi. With Yimi's strength, would the Hidden Dragon Society reject him? Unless the people in the Hidden Dragon Society had lost their minds.
What Bai Ye needed to concern himself with was how to help Yimi climb the ranks after joining the Hidden Dragon Society.
The Nightmare Gate Super Energy Cannon should help Yimi solidify his position; any faction or organization would love this item.
If he approached the Evil Spirit Group, Bai Ye would even dare to offer a gold-quality item and extort a good portion from Gao Ming.
However, while the item could consolidate his position, it couldn't elevate it. His own value was the key. Bai Ye felt that if necessary, he could sell the Evil Spirit Group.
As Bai Ye mused, he walked away down the street, then took out the Wish Stone and crushed it.
A wish quest...
Initially, Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry, but the Kongtong Seal was a good item and still had more than ten hours of use left. Bai Ye decisively initiated the wish quest.
"You are about to activate a Wish Quest."
"You will be teleported into the Wish Space in thirty seconds."
"Countdown: 30, 29, 28..."
Wish quests were generally divided into two types. The first type was fixed wish quests, meaning you would know the type of reward upon completing the quest. The second type was activated by a Wish Stone, which would initiate a wish quest, but the specific nature of the quest would only be revealed after it began.
Relatively speaking, the first type was better.
Because knowing the type allows for preparation and confirmation of its suitability. The latter was random in nature.
However, Bai Ye wasn't overly concerned. He was just that confident, hands in his pockets, having met no match.
The thirty seconds passed, and Bai Ye's body gradually became translucent, then vanished from the street.
Then...
In Bai Ye's eyes, a vast expanse of milky white light enveloped him.
The white light was not dazzling. It surged outwards like liquid, filling the surrounding space and eventually forming a white, square area that encased Bai Ye.
...
