To be honest, when Bai Zhi first saw this Equipment, he wanted to take it for himself.

After all, being able to freely adjust all your attributes means you won't have any weaknesses. If you could allocate a billion points from your Sanity attribute to other attributes, wouldn't you be able to take off like a rocket?

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Bai Zhi did borrow it once, but the problem was that while he could adjust all the other attributes, he couldn't use it at all for his Sanity, because his Sanity was displayed as three question marks in the adjustment panel...

He stubbornly tried to increase his Charisma by 100 points from his Sanity attribute, hoping that he could one day command respect and submission from others. However, not only did it have no effect, the Durability of the Equipment plummeted by 20 points, almost rendering it unusable.

Bai Zhi felt like he was being targeted.

"You want her to seduce those Dominator? Honey Trap?"

After glancing at the attributes of this [Adjustment Belt], and combining it with the inexplicable question Bai Zhi had asked earlier, Young Feather used his clever brain to think for a moment, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

"That makes sense. After all, those Dominator are all in human form. If your Charisma is high enough, you might actually be able to assassinate them without bloodshed... Uh, why are you guys looking at me like that?"

"Honey Trap... it doesn't seem like a bad idea?"

Reaching out to touch his chin, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful as he gazed at the Ink-Stained Crystal before him.

"If you successfully charm her, you might even receive an Elite Level Title after this mission... The Anomaly Charmer? Or the Anomaly Conqueror? Peerless Beauty?"

"Really? But I think this task suits you better."

She looked up at him, Ink-Stained Crystal face expressionless.

"I forgot to mention earlier, the remaining two Dominator are both women. You must have a lot of Charisma, and being Your Highness Prince, I believe you should be able to complete this task Perfect."

"Ahem... I was just kidding. Those Dominator don't actually have any self-awareness to begin with."

After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi took out the [Magicians Formalwear] from his Inventory and handed it, along with the [Adjustment Belt] on the table, to Ink-Stained Crystal in front of him.

"Once you raise your Charisma to 15, you can use this item. I'll control the probability so you can randomly get the Teleportation Skill. With your firepower, you should be able to take down that Dominator in the shortest amount of time after breaking through the defenses, right?"

"... no problem."

After staring at the description of the [Magicians Formalwear] for a while, Ink-Stained Crystal put the [Magicians Formalwear] and the [Adjustment Belt] into her Inventory and nodded.

However, for some reason, after that, Bai Zhi always felt that there was a strange and wary look in the other person's eyes... Bai Zhi just pretended not to see it.

To be honest, the God's Perspective combined with X-Ray Vision is definitely a great tool for peeping, a gentleman's perk, and extremely discreet.

... But am I that kind of person!?

Absolutely!!!

Wait, something seems off...

Speed is of the essence in war; there is no time to lose.

Bai Zhi never passively waits for opportunities; instead, he actively creates them. After explaining all the important points, the group of four, plus a skeleton, set off.

Because they refused to use human Zombie as materials for their synthesis, their number of Soldier was far fewer than the enemy's, making it impossible for them to launch an offensive, and even defense would be a struggle.

Perhaps it was because they saw this that, based on the most basic logical judgment, the other two Dominator decided to eliminate the seemingly weakest of them first.

Already short-handed, they couldn't launch an offensive and could only defend passively. However, their side was no pushover either, with Transformers, Godzilla, Alien Ultraman, Rainbow-Whiskered Kun... these things were not to be underestimated.

Defending would be barely manageable, but it would only be a temporary measure, and defeat would be inevitable in the end. Therefore, Bai Zhi and Ink-Stained Crystal taking the initiative to launch a surprise attack was the Unique option.

Besides these, a small incident did occur during this process.

The original Rainbow-Whiskered Kun that stayed behind evolved after devouring seven Dominator and a Zombie, successfully advancing from the original Rainbow-Whiskered Kun to Xie Guang Kun.

After evolving, besides becoming much larger and blotting out the sky in appearance, the entire Kun also looks... much more delicious.

--This is a literal description.

Perhaps it was an effect of having devoured seven Dominator in succession, but when Young Feather and OriginDeficit saw the enormous creature above them, they couldn't help but feel that it looked delicious and they wanted to take it down and eat it.

In the Bei Ming Has Fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in one pot. I really want to get a barbecue grill...

However, this desire is very mild, so it's not a major problem. The higher the Intelligence, the less affected one is.

Take Bai Zhi for example. His feeling was that the thing was too big and didn't taste good, nor was it nutritious. It wasn't even as good as takoyaki...

After arranging all the defenses, Bai Zhi and Ink-Stained Crystal set off before nightfall.

One traveled by boat, the other rode a cat; the difference was that Bai Zhi also brought along the Fuzi.

"...[Nirvana Blade] I can lend it to you, as long as you're willing to return it."

Looking at the buildings rushing past, the Fuzi began to speak.

"I already told you I can't Equipment myself... You're the one who'll break through the defenses in a moment. Whether you live or die depends on this one move."

Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at the other person.

"I've even given away the thing I use to save my life, so remember to protect me later."

Because jumping through the air during the day would be too conspicuous, they are now hidden in the steel jungle, moving steadily on the ground towards their destination.

"Plans are no match for change, and human calculations are no match for fate. No matter how well you plan in advance, there will always be some oversights along the way."

After a moment of silence, the Fuzi turned his head and looked to the side.

"You're taking too much risk, and being too conspicuous. What if they manage to track you down during this journey..."

"Adventure? No, I only do what I'm most confident about."

A comb appeared in his hand without him even noticing. Looking at the newly broken tooth on the comb, Bai Zhi's expression was one of utter indifference.

"There may be no medicine for regret in this world, but I have one."

"You..."

Just then, darkness fell.
