Wish missions, as long as the rewards aren't completely useless, I'll persist to some extent.
This has nothing to do with the reward content of the wish mission itself, but rather the reward tier. They are usually very high.
However, slacking off is still slacking off.
Actually, so-called experts are all "cowards." Hot-blooded youths who rush headlong into danger only exist in comics and novels. Reality, on the other hand?
These types look great, but they often die young.
Therefore, Bai Ye wasn't surprised by Li Jia yi's slacking. He quickly dealt with targets 5 and 6, not only to ensure his chase count and guarantee his reward as long as he survived, but also to block the retreat of Hamill and Li Jia yi.
Because the only way to actively slack off is to kill a target who is not a chase target, thus being eliminated.
Now that Bai Ye had killed everyone, they couldn't actively eliminate themselves.
However, there was a problem – the hunters!
Hunters weren't just there to cause trouble for everyone, but also to be the main source of chase clues. Otherwise, with nine people, nine days, and such a large city, finding someone without any special means would be quite difficult.
It was quite possible that after nine days, the battles between the nine individuals would end without a clear victor, leading to a free-for-all brawl.
This was indeed part of the rules, but it was the worst-case scenario.
Therefore, how to use the hunters to chase others was very important.
This was Bai Ye's initial thought too, so he was very calm. Eight days would definitely be enough. But now...
"Damn it, those two definitely have hunter identity tokens too."
Hunter identity tokens were very important, allowing one to grasp hunter information. /
Then, using the hunter's information, one could pursue, or...
Evade!
Bai Ye himself had been wandering the city for several days using intelligence without being caught.
And now it seemed...
Hamill and Li Jia yi must have also obtained hunter identity tokens.
Otherwise, with hunters all over the city, it wouldn't be easy to stay hidden.
Bai Ye felt he had to take some of the blame.
For others, the rewards for this wish mission might indeed be too unappealing. Lance Gart immediately slacked off upon entering.
Hamill still seemed a bit interested. He actively eliminated Wei Zhu xie, and then actively sought out Bai Ye, only to temporarily recede when he couldn't defeat Bai Ye.
As for Li Jia yi, he also seemed not very interested in the rewards.
So, slacking off wasn't surprising.
After observing the situation outside the window and analyzing it, Bai Ye came to two conclusions.
Good news: In a few more days, he would surely secure the wish mission.
Bad news: He still couldn't defeat Li Jia yi, which was very frustrating.
"No!" Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "I have to try something."
As Bai Ye pondered, his gaze fell upon the top of a power tower outside the window.
The next moment, Bai Ye's figure flickered, disappearing from the room. When he reappeared, he was already at the top of the power tower.
Bai Ye sat down on the edge of the tower, one leg bent, supporting his arm, the other hanging down and swinging in the air.
Bai Ye could actually find Hamill and Li Jia yi, just like he did in the Ghoul area, by covering the entire city with his electric field.
However, this was not an easy task and consumed a lot of his energy. Moreover, Bai Ye's healing items were almost depleted during the Ghoul area incident.
Therefore, Bai Ye had to consider whether he could kill Li Jia yi if he found him.
Hesitation was inevitable. As of now, Bai Ye was the clear winner.
After all, when the nine days were up, the wish mission reward would definitely belong to Bai Ye.
But Bai Ye still wanted to try.
Perhaps...
This was a man's desire to win?
Taking a deep breath, Bai Ye gripped the top of the power tower, and immediately, the entire tower began to arc with electricity, emitting crackling sounds.
The next moment, countless currents spread out in all directions.
The electric field began to form.
This was Bai Ye's plan: to use the city's electricity to assist him in constructing his electric field, thereby reducing his consumption.
This would allow him to force Li Jia yi out without being too exhausted to continue fighting.
Countless currents flowed down the tower like a cascading waterfall of deep blue.
Then, they split on the ground and spread outwards, continuously expanding the area covered by the electric field.
But at this moment...
Bai Ye's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. During a wish mission, Den Den Mushi couldn't function. The area of a wish mission was completely sealed. Unless one was also within the wish mission area, communication with the outside world would be temporarily cut off.
Furthermore, the Den Den Mushi that made the sound wasn't Gao Ming's, but Jin Sha's.
Jin Sha was already dead, so she couldn't possibly be calling Bai Ye.
"Hello!"
As Bai Ye picked up the receiver, Li Jia yi's voice came from the other end.
"You don't have to be so ruthless, do you? Can you give me a chance?"
Bai Ye chuckled, "It seems I'm close to finding you?"
"Yes," Li Jia yi didn't deny it and said directly, "The reward is yours anyway, do you really have to kill me?"
Bai Ye asked, "If our positions were reversed, would you want to kill me?"
"Yes," Li Jia yi honestly replied, "You've ruined so many of my plans, why wouldn't I want to kill you?"
Bai Ye said, "Then why are you asking?"
Li Jia yi said, "Can't we negotiate?"
Bai Ye replied, "What do you want to negotiate? Romance and flowers? Or do you have any dying wishes? Given that we've known each other for quite some time, I'll do my best to help you fulfill them."
Li Jia yi said, "Since you've put it that way, don't blame me for being despicable."
"Oh?" Bai Ye chuckled, "How will you be despicable?"
Li Jia yi said, "Look up at the sky."
Bai Ye scoffed, "How old are you, still so childish? Using words like that to trick people? Do you want to add 'look at the flying saucers'..."
As Bai Ye spoke, he felt something was wrong and looked up...
What a massive sword!
"You bastard, you're actually serious!"
Bai Ye quickly flickered, his body turning into a current as he left the top of the tower and landed on the ground.
The next moment...
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed as the giant sword descended, cleaving the power tower directly in half.
This wasn't the end. Bai Ye suddenly felt a strong wind from behind him. Turning back, he saw two scythes formed from blood, slashing towards him.
Bai Ye couldn't help but be stunned. Hamill had come too?
As Bai Ye mused, his body once again split into currents.
