Before synthesizing the two Dark Essences in his Backpack, Bai Ye first took a screenshot of the Class Rune, then exited the game and entered the Nameless Forum to find Ni Meng's contact.
Among the people Bai Ye knew, only Wang Si and Ni Meng had the capability to obtain this Class Rune.
But there was a difference: although Wang Si had the backing of Yida Corporation and financial resources, compared to Ni Meng's support from a huge official organization, he was somewhat inferior.
After some thought, Bai Ye decided to send the screenshot to both of them.
The reason was simple.
With competition, the benefits Bai Ye gained would be greater.
He believed that once both saw the screenshot, they would each be willing to pay any price to acquire this profession.
After sending the messages, since both were probably busy, no immediate reply came.
Bai Ye didn't mind and turned back into the game, taking out Polluted Blood from his Backpack, using two synthesis chances to create two drops of Thin Dark Blood.
He then synthesized again and got another Dark Essence.
No matter what the final synthesis of Dark Essence would yield, he wanted to keep one for himself to use.
That left him with only two synthesis chances today.
"Good thing I upgraded my talent earlier, or I'd have to wait another day."
Bai Ye smiled.
Looking at the newly synthesized Dark Essence, he didn't hesitate and used it immediately.
A prompt instantly appeared on his phone screen:
[Successfully used Dark Essence. You have obtained the skill: Soul Devourer.]
[Soul Devourer.]
[Description: Dark Attribute skill. When used, it summons a black giant hand to attack. This attack targets souls and has a chance to extract and crush the enemy's soul. Killing an enemy with this skill may yield fragments of their memories.]
"Hiss, this skill... can actually target souls?"
Excitement flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.
His first impression after reading the description was that this skill was very strong.
Who wouldn't be, when it could directly target the soul?
The soul was always extremely mysterious and also very fragile.
Items that could enhance or protect the soul were extremely precious.
This skill gave Bai Ye a deadly chance against enemies.
If he could extract the soul, he could kill enemies at will, catching them off guard.
Because generally, people didn't even know how to defend their souls.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye smiled widely and exclaimed, "Among Dark Attribute skills, this one should be top-tier, right?"
After hesitating briefly, he waved his staff gently to test the skill's cost.
Next moment, a mass of pitch-black energy gathered behind him, transforming into a terrifying black giant hand like a ghostly claw.
Under Bai Ye's mental control, the claw flapped like wings.
But soon after, Bai Ye stopped, his face pale. "The cost really isn't low."
The stronger the skill, the more Magical Power it consumed.
Soul Devourer consumed nearly four-fifths of his Magical Power per use, even more than Divine Flame Spell.
However, he wouldn't casually release it.
With this magic, he now had another trump card.
Feeling secure, Bai Ye put away his staff, restored some Magical Power, then rubbed his hands in anticipation and smiled.
"Next up, synthesizing Dark Essence."
He opened his Backpack, clicked, and chose synthesis.
[Dark Essence] + [Dark Essence].
The synthesis began.
A gentle white light appeared on the screen, two Dark Essences drew close and merged into one.
Then, a prompt appeared:
[Synthesis successful. You obtained a drop of??? blood.]
"???"
Bai Ye was puzzled.
Synthesis succeeded, but the prompt had no name, only question marks?
Curious, he opened his Backpack and found the newly synthesized item.
As soon as he expanded the details, his pupils suddenly contracted, as if seeing something unbelievable.
His breathing became rapid...
Meanwhile, in M City, at the Night Watcher branch, in a conference room, several team leaders gathered to discuss future plans, including recruitment, game exploration directions, talent development, and revenge actions against Dawn Faction.
Since the events occurred in M City, the revenge was led entirely by the M City branch.
"Alright, that's all for today. After this, remember to recruit more players for the organization."
"We still lack manpower; benefits will be correspondingly improved."
"Also, vigorously recruit players with special talents, especially support-related ones. Recruiting even one will bring rich rewards."
Wang Jianguo finished speaking.
The team leaders nodded but some rolled their eyes helplessly.
Recruiting people nowadays wasn't easy; those who wanted to join the officials already had. Those who didn't wouldn't join no matter what.
Recruiting special-talented players was even harder.
Luckily, as leaders, they didn't have to act personally—just delegate.
Meeting ended, people prepared to leave.
Ni Meng, having no tasks today, thought about the meeting and whether to talk more with Bai Ye.
Though they couldn't make Bai Ye join them, maintaining relations was good—at least to buy more weapons from him.
She managed several members; with weapons, she could develop faster and outpace other squads.
Thinking this, Ni Meng took out her phone to log in.
Phones were off during the meeting; no immediate updates.
After turning it on, she didn't rush into the game but checked messages and replied.
Finally, she logged into the forum and saw a private message from Bai Ye.
"Bai Ye messaged me too?"
Ni Meng was surprised, clicked it curiously.
A picture appeared.
Seeing its content, Ni Meng froze, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then looked again.
The picture remained unchanged.
"Gulu, is this... real?"
Ni Meng's mouth dropped; she suddenly stood, excited beyond concealment.
In her haste, she even pushed back her chair without noticing.
Her noise caught others' attention.
Wang Jianguo asked curiously, "little meng, what are you so excited about?"
Ni Meng swallowed, calmed herself with deep breaths, then said, "Boss, it's Bai Ye. He has a Class Rune for sale."
"What? Really?"
Wang Jianguo stood abruptly, disbelief on his face.
A Class Rune!
Someone was really selling one?
"Are you sure you're not joking? Really a Class Rune?"
"Damn, is this the big shot? We in M City branch don't even have one, and he just sells it?"
"Quick, confirm if it's true. If yes, the boss must get it. Then M City branch will have an Extraordinary Class Holder!"
Not only Wang Jianguo but others in the room showed excitement and urged Ni Meng.
Ni Meng nodded quickly and sent an inquiry to Bai Ye.
With everyone tense, a Ding sounded—Bai Ye replied.
111111: "It's real. Want it?"
"Boss, confirmed. He really wants to sell the Class Rune."
Ni Meng was excited.
Wang Jianguo laughed heartily. "Haha, good, very good. Ni Meng, you go see Bai Ye now. I order you: no matter what, get that Class Rune. Understood?"
"Yes!"
Ni Meng nodded and quickly left the room.
