598: Prepare for the mission

Ye Zian listened to Gu Yu's words. Indeed, after glowing for a moment, it quickly dimmed.

The high temperature from just a moment ago also receded rapidly.

"But if you rotate it continuously, its temperature will get higher and higher, and it will also last longer."

Gu Yu said to Ye Zian: "Of course, there is a threshold... According to my limit testing, you can rotate it at most five times, lasting up to three seconds, and the temperature can exceed 10,000 degrees."

Listening to Gu Yu's words, Ye Zian couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was a bit terrifying!

10,000 degrees! What kind of concept is that? Well, although he didn't know what kind of concept that was, it could be summed up in two words!

Awesome!!!

"Thank you, Sister Gu Yu!" Ye Zian said to Gu Yu with a moved expression.

"Alright, alright~ Why be so polite with me?" Gu Yu smiled and pursed her lips, then waved her hand with a sense of "satisfaction."

It was visibly apparent that she was in a very good mood.

"Alright, then I won't disturb your training. Good luck! Little Ye Zi~" Gu Yu said to Ye Zian with a smile, then turned her head and went to her workshop to tinker around.

Listening to the "pet name" Gu Yu gave him, Ye Zian shook his head helplessly and turned back to continue immersing himself in using his new weapons.

After all, he had just gotten his hands on two new weapons, and the novelty was still very strong.

By the time it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, Thrace came down from above.

"Yo! Still training! Not bad, very proactive." Thrace looked at Ye Zian, who was training, and also saw his new weapons, but didn't say anything more about them.

"Yeah, after all, I'm so weak. If I don't train more to become stronger, when I go on missions with you all, even if I can't help, I shouldn't be a burden." Ye Zian scratched his head and smiled slightly at Thrace.

"Hahaha! Having that mindset is great!" Thrace was very satisfied with his little brother—oh no, with his employee having such ambition.

This was great! After all, who wouldn't like a hardworking and ambitious workhorse working for them?

"Let's go, Zian. Come up in a bit, let's have a meal together, and then, we have to head out with me." Thrace said to Ye Zian.

"Okay!" Ye Zian nodded. After tidying up a bit, he left "Flowing Flame" here for now, but still had "Black Rhino" strapped to his waist, and "Incinerating Howl" at the small of his back.

"Gu Yu, let's go, come up with us." Thrace turned his head and shouted toward Gu Yu in the workshop.

"Coming, coming." Gu Yu replied, then washed her hands at the sink nearby and walked over.

The two followed Thrace back to the "ground level."

Lily had already bought food and was waiting in the so-called "conference room."

Calling it a conference room was actually just a room on the second floor, but they usually handled discussing matters, communicating about missions, eating, and such in this room.

So, naturally, this room became the conference room.

The main course was still pizza, but it was accompanied by steak and vegetable and fruit salad, as well as fruit juice and milk.

"My god! Why is it this stuff again!" Thrace said with a pained expression.

"This is all there is nearby. If you don't want to eat it, you don't have to! Besides, you're the boss, you could totally hire a chef to ensure our three meals a day." Lily retorted to Thrace without mercy.

"Ahem, a chef is just too expensive!" Thrace waved his hand and said: "You have to know, maintaining such a large team is very costly! You should know that, my dear Lily!"

Although Thrace was joking, this joke was actually true.

After all, not to mention anything else, just Gu Yu's requirements for money and supplies were not a small amount.

After all, she handled logistics + armaments, as well as machinery and modifications... which of these things wasn't expensive!

And this was still with Gu Yu being awesome, where many things were hand-crafted.

Ye Zian was already used to the daily interactions between Thrace and Lily. He no longer felt the "nervousness" from the beginning and was now completely unbothered, starting to eat on his own.

However, because he was going on a mission soon, when he got "Flowing Flame," he quietly entered the Cross-World Group and bought a talent: [Sword Mastery I]: You possess stronger talent in using swords! (Upgrading requires 100,000 source points)

Ye Zian looked at his source points, which had dropped back to three digits, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He needed to develop now. There was no way around it; he couldn't save up source points, but at least he had laid a good foundation now.

Next, according to his "lurking" observations in daily life, including some suggestions from the big shots, it seemed that his next step was to save up 1,000,000 source points to buy a Cultivation Technique from Yi Xin's shop and formally step into the world of Cultivate!

However, the unawakened "Demon Bloodline" on his body also required 1,000,000 to Awaken... He was also very curious about what this was... And what he hadn't expected was that he actually had a so-called Demon Bloodline?

Could one of his parents be a demon?

But he wasn't a half-demon either!

According to Thrace, there was no such thing as "Bloodline concealment." As long as a demon and a human mated, the offspring born would inevitably be a half-demon. It was just a matter of the difference in Bloodline concentration; the higher the concentration, the stronger the demon's power, and the more powerful the half-demon's form... conversely, the lower the concentration, the weaker they were.

So this confused Ye Zian...

But it didn't matter... These things were completely inconsequential to Ye Zian.

In comparison, what he cared about more was whether he could become stronger!

Since there was a good thing like a Demon Bloodline, he naturally planned to Awaken it to see what it was about.

Unfortunately, it was a million source points! That was not an amount easily obtained.

And he also had to struggle with whether to unlock the Bloodline first or get a Cultivation Technique to Cultivate first.

In terms of long-term stability, it was better to get a Cultivation Technique to Cultivate first. Who knew what that Demon Bloodline situation would be like? It felt like opening a blind box... The most critical thing was the fear that there would be no subsequent growth, or what if the Bloodline concentration was low after Awakening? What about subsequent growth?

Judging by the situation with other talents, it could definitely be upgraded later using source points.

But the required source points would definitely be more than the 1,000,000 for Awakening, not less.

This put him back into a growth Bottleneck period.

Looking at it this way, it seemed much better to exchange for a Cultivation Technique to stably Cultivate and grow.

And with Cultivate, the energy values could increase, and he could become stronger faster.

According to the people in the group... the power of this spiritual energy was quite versatile! Ye Zian pondered in his heart.

"Zian! Zian!" Thrace's voice rang in Ye Zian's ears.

"Ah?! I'm here!" Ye Zian snapped back to reality.

"What are you thinking about? I called you a few times and you didn't hear me?" Thrace looked at Ye Zian curiously and asked, then raised an eyebrow slightly: "Could it be... because we are going on a mission today? It's normal to be nervous the first time, I can understand."

"Ah~ Yes! I am a little nervous..." Ye Zian went along with Thrace's words and said with an embarrassed smile.
