Calling him âGrandfatherâ made Metheus, who was trapped in a dilemma, laugh. The council was actually quite helpless, as they really wanted what Baiyi had.
But the things Baiyi showed made them hesitant.
After all, for the council, the relationship with Baiyi was still very important, so letting Metheus probe this power, which might be used to deter the Federation, was the right choice.
"What bottom line?" Diane asked somewhat confused, instinctively.
Even while eating, she was listening, and she doubted if she missed some information.
"Did you watch the battle in Dongwu City?" Baiyi asked softly.
"Of course I watched it, I didnât expect you to be so formidable." Diane looked at him with some admiration. Clearly, before she used to rely on his aid, but now his martial prowess had become so strong that she was embarrassed to compliment him in front of so many people.
"The transformation at the start of the war was very powerful, and the Federation wants it too, so they sent Grandfather Metheus to purchase it," Baiyi didnât hide from Diane, even though she might not be that clever, but she can learn.
Though always being a bit slow has its charm, Baiyi would be pleased to see her become smarter.
Diane nodded, suddenly understanding: "So why not just say it directly?"
"Well, itâs a bit complicated, Iâll explain to you later." Baiyi looked at the kindly Metheus.
"How much do you want?" Metheus asked with a smile, after all, wasnât he called grandfather?
Since itâs Federationâs item, and considering Baiyiâs relationship with the Di Feng family, maximizing the benefit is also possible.
Baiyi thought for a moment and raised one hand: "Five items."
Metheus paused. Among them are epic weapons, and with epic weapons, one can see from [Junlin] that the bonuses are not ordinary.
With a total of eight items, the value would be somewhat overly large...
He pondered carefully and nodded: "Okay, but you canât choose all epic equipment."
"I didnât plan on taking that stuff," Baiyi quickly started selecting. He had roughly gone through it before, and he wasnât interested at all in the equipment.
He has an exclusive weapon on the Dark Side and can make weapons himself on the Light side, so he has a low need for equipment.
On the other hand, for high-tier materials, no matter how much, there wouldnât be too much.
By getting five more, he wouldnât need to scrounge for materials for the modification of the [Divine Spirit Bone] everywhere, otherwise, it might take a long time, since the things of the gods are too grand and lofty, one might not even find things of the True God.
After selecting, the surrounding anomalies disappeared, and when the three of them walked outside, Baiyi took out the [Madness·Bloom] that he had prepared for a while.
Metheus paused and accepted it: "About ten minutes later, someone will bring the items over; please wait for a while."
He looked at Baiyi with some emotion but didnât say anything, and instead, he looked at Diane and smiled, saying: "Donât forget what you promised me, Iâll give you...."
He looked towards the sky, hesitating a bit: "Three days, then go into seclusion after three days."
Diane nodded, grumbling somewhat unhappily: "Got it, got it, I didnât say I wouldnât go..."
Metheus winked at Baiyi, a spatial fluctuation passed by, and he disappeared.
Baiyi felt a bit surprised, and after Metheus left, he wisely asked: "What did you promise him? What happened?"
When he asked this, Diane immediately became proud: "Didnât you say you wanted to reform? So I went to discuss with my brother and grandfather, and then I contacted other little partners bit by bit, and finally promoted the entire Federationâs reform."
She said, then became a bit lifeless: "However, the condition for grandfatherâs support was that from now on, my seclusion time would double, previously I would come out after leveling up once, now I need to level up twice... and until I reach Legendary, this doubling seclusion canât be canceled."
Baiyi found it somewhat amusing, yet also touched. Such unconditional support, he has only felt it from two people, Diane and Luoning, but the two are somewhat different, Luoning is attachment, Diane is love.
Unable to resist, he kissed Diane: "Being a bit silly is nice too."
Diane, being suddenly assaulted, blushed a bit, but since there werenât usually many people in the council hall, she didnât resist Baiyiâs closeness.
Just immediately retorted: "Where am I silly? I united so many forces, and only then did the Federation begin its reform!"
"Alright, not silly, Diane is the smartest." Baiyi said with a smile.
"Iâm really not silly." Diane rolled her eyes, then thought of something and asked: "Just now you mentioned purchasing your transformation science knowledge, when was that discussed?"
"No need for discussion." Baiyi and Diane sat on the lion statue outside the council hall.
Amid the complicated gaze of the guarding soldiers, he explained: "Once this transformation was seen by the Federation to be effective, the Federation would definitely want it because this transformation specifically for war can make the Federation stronger."
"And here, I canât refuse, using knowledge for exchange is the best."
Diane thought carefully, it seemed to be the case, but she always felt it wasnât that simple, at least... it shouldnât have felt so natural.
"Letâs not think about these for now. If you want to know more about these things, Iâll organize some books for you, these books can teach you a lot." Baiyi stroked Dianeâs face, speaking gently.
Diane hesitated a bit: "Well... there arenât any exams, right?"
Baiyi paused, somewhat helplessly: "Just take a look when you have time, if you donât want to, then donât. There wonât be any exams."
