After the light screen dissipated, Bai Ye looked up at the Death Amusement Park again.
Many people were continuously rushing out. Although the Deer Head blocked the entrance, because the Deer Head could only attack one target at a time, quite a few people managed to seize the opportunity and escape.
"It seems the number of survivors this time should be considerable."
Bai Ye curled his lips, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the mist surrounding the Death Amusement Park.
Since his objective had been achieved, Bai Ye had no intention of lingering. How many people escaped the Death Amusement Park was none of his concern.
Having obtained the spirit body, Bai Ye's focus shifted away from the Death Amusement Park as he now had new goals.
Regarding his physical body, Bai Ye felt he had reached a satisfactory point, and continued strengthening it would be achievable through the Five Spirit Disk.
Therefore, Bai Ye planned to enhance his strength in other aspects.
Bai Ye believed he should focus on two areas: first, special abilities.
Special abilities from the world of special abilities were very suitable for combat. However, ordinary special abilities didn't interest him. As for powerful special abilities, he knew of a few ways to obtain them, but with his current strength, Bai Ye felt he had no chance of acquiring them yet.
So, the second option was equipment!
Despite having many items, only the Frost Sword was truly noteworthy. The Roaring Dragon and the Hexagonal Prism Shield were both obtained from the gacha machine.
As for other items, they all had some issues.
The Tarot cards were single-use consumables; once used, they were gone.
The Cursed Cross provided sustained damage. This type of item was suitable for prolonged battles, as its power was usually not significant.
The Death Strike's power was indeed substantial, but the limitations of a sniper rifle were self-evident, primarily for long-range sniping. It was almost useless in conventional combat.
The Golden Scale Armor was of blue quality, which was quite good. However, Bai Ye did not know martial arts, so he couldn't trigger its effect of increasing the power of martial arts by 10% when used in conjunction with martial arts, essentially wasting one-third of its potential.
There were also items like the Fossilized Pterodactyl's fossil and Super Stones, which Bai Ye had no idea how to use.
Thus, after reviewing his inventory, Bai Ye realized that the Frost Sword was the only item with truly high cost-effectiveness.
Given this, Bai Ye felt he needed to plan accordingly.
First, he needed a defensive equipment. The Hexagonal Prism Shield was quite useful.
Secondly, it would be ideal to acquire another versatile weapon like the Frost Sword. A melee weapon would be the priority, because when the Frost Sword was used for ranged attacks, Bai Ye's hands would be free. A secondary option would be to obtain another mid-to-long-range weapon similar to the Frost Sword, creating a combined firepower suppression. When close combat was needed, he could wield the Frost Sword.
In addition to offense and defense, Bai Ye thought acquiring some special equipment would also be worth considering.
What constituted special equipment?
The spirit body could serve as a reference. The spirit body was a special ability.
Overall, the spirit body could be utilized through switching forms in conventional combat. Phasing through walls and low-altitude flight were also applicable in battle. However, if purely for combat, the spirit body's value would decrease, as there were many more effective combat abilities.
Therefore, the primary value of the spirit body lay in its ability to be used in combat while also offering strong life-saving effects.
However, "saving lives" was not a constant necessity. Thus, it was an ability that proved exceptionally useful at specific moments, and such abilities could be termed special abilities.
Similarly, equipment with the same utility would be considered special equipment.
The practicality of special equipment was generally not high, but they were incredibly useful in certain situations. This led to a low turnover rate for special equipment; as long as the equipment's effect was sufficiently useful, even an ordinary white-quality item could be kept and used.
However, there was a troublesome aspect to this type of equipment: it often relied heavily on luck. Specifically searching for equipment with a particular effect was quite difficult.
As Bai Ye pondered equipment, he couldn't help but recall some events from his past life.
Back then, Bai Ye, as someone who could reach the final stages of the World Battlefield, naturally commanded great renown. He was known as "an army of one" because, at the time, Bai Ye primarily followed a technological and mechanical path, possessing his own mechanical legion. Mechanical things relied almost entirely on equipment, so many people assumed Bai Ye was an "equipment-type" player.
In reality, beyond the gacha machine, Bai Ye's primary reliance was not on equipment, but on a special ability from the world of special abilities called "Mechanical Reconstruction." Any metallic object could be assembled into combat machinery under Bai Ye's ability. As long as he sufficiently boosted his mental power attribute and had enough metal items, Bai Ye could form a mechanical legion.
As for this life...
Bai Ye had indeed considered the Mechanical Reconstruction ability and knew how to obtain it. However, this ability had a significant drawback: without sufficient metal items, Bai Ye would be completely stranded, and his mechanical legion would instantly become a solitary figure.
Of course, there was another more important reason: Bai Ye could not obtain the Mechanical Reconstruction ability at present. It was located in a space station called "Salem," which housed countless combat angels. Bai Ye felt that with his current strength, let alone going there to acquire Mechanical Reconstruction, he wasn't sure if he could even get past the entrance. Even if he managed to sneak in, he would easily be blown to smithereens.
Therefore, Bai Ye decided to put this ability aside for now and focus on the present.
*Snap!*
Suddenly, Bai Ye thought of something and clapped his hands together.
"How could I forget about that thing?" Bai Ye exclaimed excitedly. "Although it became a bit lackluster as the World Battlefield progressed into the mid and late stages, it was extremely useful in the early stages!"
Bai Ye thought of a set of items that were both offensive and defensive, a complete package. If he could obtain it, both his offense and defense would be satisfied, and it also had special effects, thus it could be considered special equipment to a certain extent.
Bai Ye was the type to act immediately. Since he had set a goal, he naturally intended to act on it without delay.
However, Bai Ye felt he first needed to plan his route. The Death Amusement Park was located on the fringe of this supernatural region, meaning that no matter where Bai Ye went, if it involved crossing regions, he would almost certainly have to traverse a large portion of the supernatural area.
"Then I'll head to the Soul Society first!"
Having made his decision, Bai Ye began his journey.
