Chapter 299 - 172: Do You Know About the Giant Statue?

These are all their hard-earned money, and they lost a sure-win game.

For a moment, the voices condemning the official letter, cursing the official letter, resenting Sabo, and lamenting their fate filled every visible network.

Even the players were lamenting, angrily blaming themselves for not believing in the protagonist of the promotional video!

Many of their task rewards were also all gone.

The online outcry almost made the group managing the network want to shut it down for a while, but since the network was about to start charging soon, it absolutely couldn’t collapse at this critical moment.

A group of Alchemists, including Sunu, were unleashing their potential, frantically stabilizing the Alchemy Magic Net.

Despite the billions howling on the network, it barely held together, only becoming slightly laggy, and the cost was merely their hair.

However, aside from the howls, discussions about Baiyi’s strength and the combat prowess of the Alchemist profession also gradually appeared online.

After all, there were very few combat scenes of Baiyi, and even this time, they saw nothing.

But being able to defeat the official letter already explains some issues.

However, the online complaints couldn’t influence people in reality. Baiyi led Diane to the council’s entrance, instructing the Bone Dragon to squat by the city gate, then walked towards the majestic council.

"Baiyi."

Diane’s voice sounded, and Baiyi turned back to see a pair of bright eyes.

"What’s the matter?" Baiyi asked, a bit confused.

"Since you can add those things to the Bone Dragon, can you equip other undead creatures with things too?" Diane asked eagerly.

"Of course, how would you like to modify them?" Baiyi smiled and asked.

Transforming the undead is quite simple, especially mechanically modified undead, whose combat power is still strong.

"I can currently summon over a million skeletons. If you could modify them all to the Bone Dragon’s standards... huh? Why are you leaving before I’m done talking?"

"Damn it, bastard!"

At the council’s entrance, two Silver Upper Tier soldiers respectfully opened the door for Baiyi, then led him with expressionless faces into the council.

Baiyi didn’t want to deal with the young lady for now, over a million times! His one-million-mechanized-legion wasn’t fully assembled yet, modifying these skeletons would probably end his life.

The council’s setup was simple; it was the original hall of the Federation’s founding Kingdom.

Having been liberated from chaos not long ago, the focus was on stability, so nothing new was built.

The overall look now seemed a bit old, but it’s just a place for meetings, and not many would care about its grandeur.

Walking through a few corridors, a soldier respectfully knocked on a wooden door, then opened it.

Seventeen old men simultaneously turned their heads, their glances varied towards him.

These old men had bet earlier too, though not much, but they pretty much lost a lot.

After all, not every Legislator Clan was as lavish as Di Feng; when the Will Clan purchased the Lord of Scarlet’s flesh, three million Gold Coins was their limit, as with some clans with no industries.

However, families like Will, He’Er, Yongyi had no worldly desire for money and even needed the Federation’s support.

But these families’ combat power was genuinely strong, like the Will Clan, a Swordsman Race, with remarkable inheritance, even related to the New Gods.

For their family treasure is the War God’s sword, the same shadow Kami used when fighting the Crimson Sacrifice.

Anyone could mock their poverty, but no family would underestimate the Will Clan.

Amidst the glances of these old men, Baiyi looked around and finally headed towards the main seat.

Since this council was convened by him, and Heidinger wasn’t around, he needed to preside.

Sure, others could substitute, but in the last meeting, Baiyi allowed two top potentials to slip away, and no one intended to shield him this time from criticism.

Baiyi approached the main seat, coughed slightly, "Apologies for keeping you waiting."

Silence.

These old men began staring at him with strange eyes, not saying a word.

Baiyi paused, feeling slightly uneasy, but it didn’t deter his speech, "I convened this council primarily to discuss three matters."

"First, war is about to begin, and I believe you’re aware of the growing influence of the Ancient Gods on Xia. Many Ancient Gods’ realms have emerged outside, which is dangerous, and the Federation should be on alert."

"And I recently visited Sin City, where I developed a kind of transformation."

Baiyi reached out, magic power conjuring a chart in his hand, displaying the X-Type Transformation data, though less detailed than the panel description.

[Name: X-Type Transformation.

Attributes: Flesh Transformation Science.

Effect: Attain stable yet extreme body attributes; Power constant at Golden Lower Tier, Agility constant at Silver Limit, Endurance constant at Golden Lower Tier, Intelligence constant at Silver Limit, Charm constant at none.

And acquire talents: Frenzy, Strong Self-Healing, Overlord Body.

Transformation Requirement: Bronze Middle Tier.

Note: This transformation consumes all the potential of the transformed.

Introduction: Surgically led by the Alchemy Transformation Master, with the Evil Alchemy Refining Grandmaster as assistant, resulting in an unexpectedly stable transformation, possibly reaching Golden Level, although potential is consumed, undeniably it forms a powerful war machine.]

Seeing this, the legislators finally reacted.

An old man asked harshly, "Kid, is this stable? Or just an experimental phase to tease us old men?"

Baiyi looked at a small sign before the old man, Sheda Fuer.

He immediately understood why he spoke so harshly.

Before he could attempt to pacify him, a kindly yet chuckling voice chimed in, "Don’t mind him; he just lost money a moment ago. But does this transformation have any restrictions? I see the term Evil Alchemist in your description."

Baiyi glanced at the small sign before this old man: Metheus Di Feng.

He smiled and replied, "The only restriction is the cost; other technologies are very mature. Around two million Gold Coins in materials are needed to transform a soldier, and these materials are of Golden Level."

"That’s a minor issue; are you sure there are no other side effects?" Metheus asked with a friendly smile.

"None. After the meeting, I will compile this transformation’s data for the council..." Baiyi continued, then paused, "Though there’s no side effect, an Alchemy Transformation Master must lead for completion, which should be considered Grandmaster Level Alchemy Knowledge."

As he spoke, a trace of excitement in the legislators’ eyes began to fade.

Sure enough, no perfect transformation indeed exists.

And Metheus, calculating to create ten thousand soldiers first, halted, helplessly sighing, "Understood, but your knowledge remains beneficial. Many times, the Federation’s legion lacks core strength; we will discuss the latter matters. Your focus should be on cultivation."

The legislators’ initial shock from Baiyi’s Transformation Science gradually stabilized, after all, they hadn’t expected someone truly capable of crossing so many levels in combat, regarding the evil intentions.

That’s a transformation science, one of the Alchemist’s techniques. Baiyi was still perceived as a Level 56 Alchemist in their eyes.

Previously seen as an Alchemical Mechanician, and now an All-Element Alchemist.

Except for Sheda Fuer, who remained a bit unsatisfied, the other legislators increasingly viewed Baiyi with kind eyes.

Baiyi nodded, calmly saying, "The second issue is, what’s beneath Sin City?"

"I strolled around Sin City and found that its five legislators seem to be vying over something, and there’s a scavenger named Sed possessing Legendary Power."

As he finished speaking, the legislators fell silent, with a portion showing some shock.

"A Legendary is outside? How come I didn’t know?"

"What are we waiting for? Go invite them, it’s a Legendary, should be reported to the Sword Saint and..."

However, these two speaking legislators were middle-aged and seldom spoke usually, having no clans, and became legislators only in the last twenty years.

While Metheus pondered in silence, then sighed, "That one is the Guardian; are you aware of the Giant Statue?"
