This journey had brought Bai Zhi no small gains.
Although the various fish caught in that sea region were of little use to him, they were important resources that could rapidly strengthen Fireworks of Romance and the others.
Take Fireworks of Romance as an example. Of the three requirements for advancing to Myth, she was now only short of a Level. Originally, accumulating enough experience would have taken her decades, but now, she only needed to eat a dozen or so Level Fish. Her rate of improvement was practically rocket-powered.
Of course, fish capable of raising a Player's Level were extremely rare even in that sea region. Although Bai Zhi had the Yin Yang Fish helping him, the number of Level Fish they ultimately caught was not large. By estimate, there were only enough to raise one person to Level 90.
And on Bai Zhi's side, there were currently no fewer than three people expected to break through to Myth.
—Wan Ci, Huan Yan, and Fireworks of Romance.
Not only had all three obtained the special Divinity hidden within the Sky Pillar at the front lines, they were each just one Level away from Myth. Whoever ate all those Level Fish would be the first to break through to Myth.
After some discussion, the three of them ultimately chose a relatively fair method to decide who it would be.
"...A lottery draw?"
Bai Zhi wore a strange expression as he looked at the group gathered around Mu Qiansè.
"No, rock-paper-scissors."
Sitting cross-legged on the Sofa, Xia Wen looked utterly serious.
"Rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three. The final winner was Fengyue, who threw scissors nine times in a row."
Bai Zhi: "..."
After the disaster in Safe Zone No. 24 had been resolved, they had not stayed there for long
