Chapter 238 - 207: Mountain and River Collector
Wang Yi stepped forward to inspect the Treasure Chest dropped by Ancient Barbarian Hongfu and found a Blood Crystal Stone, a set of Battle Armor Fashion, and a Scroll inside.
[Barbarian Witch Blood Stone: Special Item. Restricted to Humans. Use to obtain the Barbarian Witch Bloodline, which causes certain physical changes. Typically, height will exceed two meters, muscles and bones will be enhanced, and strength and endurance will increase. High chance of hair loss. If used by someone who already possesses the Barbarian Witch Bloodline, the bloodline’s power will be enhanced.]
[Barbarian Witch Battle Armor Outfit: Special Item. High-tech equipment of the Barbarian Witch clan. Requires Barbarian Witch Bloodline to equip. Binds on equip, becomes untradeable, and cannot be dropped. Can be summoned. Has growth potential and generates a compatible weapon based on the user. Please explore the specifics on your own!]
[Slave Collection Scroll: Purple Quality, Special Item. Restricted to Chaos Lords. Use to randomly recruit 1,000 slaves.]
’Huh, interesting. Doesn’t Man Datou have the Barbarian Witch Bloodline?’
Wang Yi thought of Man Datou, his very first guard. His Dragon Elephant Skill cultivation had reached the ninth level, granting him the Power of Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants. His combat strength was likely on par with Ancient Barbarian Hongfu’s, but he rarely got a chance to show off his prowess these days. Instead, he was in charge of driving a small train, shuttling between the three Shanhai Passes, and he didn’t seem to mind it one bit.
’Man Datou and this Ancient Barbarian Hongfu are from the same tribe. I can give this Barbarian Witch Blood Stone and the Barbarian Witch Battle Armor to him. Come to think of it, there must be more people with the Barbarian Witch Bloodline in the Ancient Barbarian Country. If I kill the plot characters among them, I might get even more Barbarian Witch Blood Stones. This is it—Man Datou’s path to becoming stronger...’
Wang Yi looked north. The system had announced that the Ancient Barbarian Country was about to declare war on the Golden Sparrow Country. ’Maybe I can get involved in this war.’
At this thought, Wang Yi quickly stored away the three items before him.
It wasn’t the right time to use the [Slave Collection Scroll]. Wang Yi figured he could use it after he returned to his territory; there was no rush.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Players were buzzing with discussion.
"Yang Jian killed the Island Lord!"
"Is he Yang Jian or Sun Wukong?"
"Yeah, how did he turn into Brother Monkey again?"
"I don’t get it, I really don’t get it!"
"If you can’t figure it out, just run! Watch out or you’ll be next!"
"Dammit, my Slave Lord class got reset! I’ve gotta get out of here!"
"Run! There are native Slave Lords coming..."
The Players were in an uproar. With a mere thought from Wang Yi, his three Great Sage Avatars stepped forward and twirled their staves, sending the Players scattering in terror.
Wang Yi walked over to Zhao Mei and asked, "Zhao Mei, do you know anything about the Ancient Barbarian Country?"
Zhao Mei replied, "A little. The Zhao Family used to be involved in maritime trade and visited the borders of the Ancient Barbarian Country. It’s said to be a nation built on slavery—primitive and backward. But the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court, on the other hand, seems to be highly advanced, capable of producing sophisticated technological weapons, war chariots, and the like. I haven’t spent much time at sea myself, so I’ve never actually been to the Ancient Barbarian Country, nor have I ever met any Players from there. I heard there’s an invisible wall at their border, so you can’t get in."
"A nation built on slavery, primitive and backward, yet it can manufacture technological weapons... This Ancient Barbarian Country is certainly full of contradictions."
"Boss, the area announcement just now said that 100 Slave Lord Reclassification Certificates have appeared on this island. Should we go hunt for them?"
"I don’t really care about scrolls and certificates. But since we came all this way, it would be nice to do a bit of sightseeing on the island. Once I fix up my ride, I’ll take you for a spin and we can look around!"
"Fix your ride? A spin? Haha, this Bronze Vehicle of yours... can it even be repaired? And even if you fix it, will it actually be able to move?"
"You’re underestimating it. This is a Bronze Ancient War Chariot, the classic of all classic cars, and it’s priceless. Without a certain level of wealth, identity, and status, you’re not even qualified to get on board. Don’t think that just because you’ve become a Pill Dao Venerable, you’ll necessarily be allowed on!"
"Is that so?"
Zhao Mei blinked, looking at Wang Yi with curiosity.
Wang Yi had already started repairing the chariot. He was punching and kicking it—so violently that anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he was trying to dismantle it.
But under this barrage of punches and kicks, the Bronze War Chariot miraculously began to slowly restore itself.
The whole process took only about ten minutes. By the end, the Bronze War Chariot was fully repaired, without a single spare part left on the ground.
"Ding! You have completed one repair on the classic car and received a repair fee of 3,256 Gold Coins!"
"Ding! Your classic car’s collector’s value has increased. Congratulations on surpassing the 20,000 Gold Coin mark!"
"Ding! Your perfect repair has granted the classic car a Random Enhancement. The Terracotta Horses have been enhanced into Bronze Horses, and the chance of the classic car breaking down has been slightly reduced."
As the system prompts sounded, the Bronze War Chariot flashed. Although it still looked heavily oxidized and generally decrepit, the nine Terracotta Horses had transformed into Bronze Horses.
’The chance of it breaking down has been reduced. Is that a good thing or a bad thing...?’
Wang Yi muttered to himself, then vaulted onto the Bronze War Chariot. He grabbed the reins and called over to Zhao Mei, "Come on, get in! Time for that spin!"
"Alright!"
Zhao Mei nodded and tried to climb onto the Bronze War Chariot, but it felt like there was an invisible wall blocking her way. She couldn’t get on at all.
"Hey, I really can’t get on? What’s going on? Is being a Pill Dao Venerable not good enough? Is it discriminating against me?"
Wang Yi shook his head with a smile. "Well, nothing to be done about it. You discriminated against it, so it’s discriminating against you. You’re discriminating against each other!"
As he spoke, Wang Yi slapped his Starlight Bracelet and released a [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon].
He had a total of 512 of these Jade Dragons. He had left some in Eggshell Village, some at the Western Depot’s Giant Crab Camp, and he carried some with him as well.
