After a series of analyses, Bai Yu was able to reach a certain conclusion.
Every time the abnormal incident was resolved, the demon paper would fall into the hands of Pingyi Company, which was part of the other party’s plan.
When Pingyi obtained a sealed artifact, the usual method was to take it in. As for how to take it in, and what the process was, these were all unknown.
The other party was planning to understand Pingyi’s steps in containing an artifact!
It sounded very strange, but with all the conditions gathered together, this was the only possibility that made sense.
This mystical item that seemed to be imitating the demon contract was not something that would be worthless after one use. Instead, it was worth recycling and it had value.
It was unclear how much Bai Yu could estimate in creating such a sealed artifact, but he knew that it would not be cheap.
Up until now, he had only heard that the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery had once forged a sealed artifact.
‘It’s too dangerous to recklessly come into contact with the other party. It’s not in line with my steady style.’
Bai Yu thought to himself.
He was prepared to cut off the connection just like that and then put the demon paper into the Brainiac Space, directly sabotaging the other party’s plan.
This could make the other party angry and helpless at the same time. Plus, it was currently the safest option to do so right now.
Even if the other party could find him through the female streamer, as long as he was careful, he would not get into too much trouble.
The mastermind behind the scenes was still unsure whether the demon paper was in his hands, so he still could not immediately kill him.
After all, now, Bai Yu could be considered a protector.
However, just as Bai Yu was thinking about leaving, the mechanical voice that had not sounded in his mind for a long time — that belonged solely in the Brainiac Space — suddenly sounded.
[Congratulations host for triggering an immediate mission — Brainiac Wants to Fight!]
[Difficulty: Nightmare!]
[Requirement: Resolve this matter through a direct battle, to demonstrate Brainiac’s strength!]
[Reward: 500 points, 500 ancient martial arts knowledge points, a spiritual technique — Local Strengthening, and a rare lottery chance.]
[Special Help: During the mission period, if the host is caught in a battle, the host will automatically receive the Hot-blooded Protagonist Halo! In every battle, the strength of Halo depends on the host’s performance. If the host’s performance does not conform to Halo’s behavior, Halo’s strength will be weakened until it disappears. Conversely, if the host acts in accordance with Halo, it will provide a powerful force.]
The corner of Bai Yu’s mouth twitched.
The instant mission was his push in wanting to meet the other party now.
It sounds like a bad idea. However, it had only appeared as a nightmare difficulty mission. It was very likely that it could unlock the new functions of the system.
Since there was a mission, then the roundabout solution would have to be given up.
The only way was to have a direct battle to absolve the issue!
Bai Yu naturally understood the intention of the mission. He even knew how reckless it was to accept it!
The system had determined that a direct battle was too difficult, so it had given him some help.
In other words…
The system should have estimated the opponent’s combat strength through the contact between Bai Yu and the other party, only then did it issue this mission.
“Since you’ve already taken out the potions, then tonight we’ll trade at the outskirts of the Western District, by the riverside of Willow Lake.
“I want a sequence nine potion formuls, as well as two completed professional potions. At the same time, I need you to prove the authenticity of the potion.”
Reopening the video on his phone, Bai Yu immediately got straight to the point.
Bruce clearly did not expect Bai Yu to make such a quick decision.
In order to increase his credibility, he hesitated and said, “The value of the two potions is top secret, I can’t agree to that term.
“I’ll only provide the formula and completed product.”
Bai Yu did not want to give in too much as both of them knew that the deal was just a cover. When they met, they still had to fight it out. There was no such thing as making a deal.
Right now, both of them are trying to deceive each other. Even if it was to lower the other party’s guard a little bit, it was still considered a good chance.
It was to let the other party have a glimmer of hope that they were actually going to meet just to carry out the deal.
With a few more exchanges, the both of them settled the details of the meeting.
Bruce turned off his phone, the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes slowly unfurled, and he held his cane as he quickly left the restaurant.
Although he walked very slowly, he quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Qin Shou’s men did not follow him.
The other party had a group of martial artists protecting them.
There was not much point in following them right now. They would only lose their men for nothing.
…
Bai Yu took off his mask and walked out of the basement. Coincidentally, Qin Shou rushed out as well.
“Yu, what’re you going to do?
“I still have seven mechanical weapons with me, but with the control skills of my subordinates, a mechanical weapon of the same level is no match for a martial artist. If we clash head-on, we might not win. If I ask my uncle for help, he will need at least three days to prepare everything.
“Last I heard, he sought shelter, so it’s not good for him to expose himself right now.”
Qin Shou’s face was a little gloomy.
He had led a team to wait for orders near the shelter. Bai Yu and Bruce’s conversation had been heard clearly through the earpiece.
The Ironstone Martial Arts school was his family property.
The martial school’s master was Qin Shou’s third uncle. However, he was currently out on business and had not returned.
Most of the martial school’s disciples were actually the Qin Shou’s family’s hired thugs.
This group of people had over 160 body resiliency points and belonged to the category of quasi-martial artists.
It was precisely because of this group of people, as well as the connections and resources left behind by his parents, that Qin Shou was able to open a tavern and arena business in the Western District.
“There’s no need for too much trouble. I just need to go and verify something now.
“Call your strongest subordinate over. I want to fight him.”
Bai Yu wanted to test whether the Hot-blooded Protagonist Halo was really effective and to test how effective it would be if it worked. From the moment he accepted this instant mission, time started ticking.
Once there was a fight, Halo could be activated.
Qin Shou’s eyes moved slightly. He did not ask why. He immediately made a call and gathered a group of people from the arena.
This was the experience he had gained from trusting Bai Yu over the years.
Soon after, in the open-air training ground that was the size of two basketball courts, more than ten people walked in one after another. There were men and women of all grades.
These were the ten strongest people in the Ironstone Martial Arts school.
Their body resiliency was all above 160 points.
If it was not for their age, they would have long attended the college entrance examination and even had a chance to enter other martial arts schools.
“Liu Kui, come and spar with Bai Yu!”
Qin Shou pointed at one of the men.
This man had a shaved head, wore a big t-shirt, and his entire body was full of muscles. His hill-sized body was enough to contend with the sumo wrestlers of the Sakura Country.
Bai Yu knew that this was an effect of training.
They were too old and could not get the systematic training methods when they were developing, therefore, they could not become real martial artists.
Therefore, the body resiliency blood accumulated in their bodies would slowly accumulate, changing their body shape, and at the same time, increasing the burden on their bodies.
Those real martial artists hid their physical strength, and their bodies were well-proportioned.
“My body resiliency has already reached 210 points, and I’ve stepped into the category of a ninth sequence martial artist. Some time ago, I just happened to draw spiritual energy into my body and was refining my body, so I might not be able to control my strength. You must be careful when we duel later.”
He knew that Bai Yu was a student, and his body resiliency was at most 150 points, so he was no match for this big guy.
If he used too much strength, he might crush Bai Yu to bits.
So even if he decided to use only half of his strength, he still felt that it was not safe, so he warned him first.
However, the reality was exactly the opposite of what he had expected.
Bai Yu walked to the center of the arena in two steps, forcefully suppressing the shame in his heart. He quoted an anime character he had seen in shows and said, “I know you are very strong, but don’t go easy on me just because it’s me.
“Come on.
“Use all your strength to attack me!”

At the same time he said that, Bai Yu felt an indescribable power rise from the soles of his feet and spread rapidly to his limbs and bones.
F*ck, it was really working!
The system did not lie to him!
However, the drawback was that he always had to shamefully reply with a heroic sentence to his opponent.
What kind of bullsh*t setting was this?!
