The log vibrated!

Seeing the log come running over on its own, Bai Yi stopped training and set down his bone blade.

His spirit, which had surpassed human limits, allowed Bai Yi to gain a deeper understanding of rhythm in just an hour and a half.

He gradually began to grasp how to use a weapon to stir rhythm.

It was an incredibly wondrous experience. Sometimes, Bai Yi's blade did not even need to touch an object to disrupt its rhythm.

Moreover, continuously disturbing an object's rhythm could possibly snap it, dealing immense damage to it.

The broken Bone Pickaxe beside him was the greatest proof of that. Bai Yi simply could not resist his urge to destroy.

If all the rotting corpses outside had not vanished, Bai Yi would have gone out long ago to experiment on them.

This mysterious, indescribable ability fascinated Bai Yi. He reluctantly stopped, picked up the log, and read:

"Li Zihua: Brother Dog, is this biotechnology too? This effect is seriously incredible!"

"Li Zihua: Brother Dog, how much are you selling it for? Get me one."

"Bai Yi: 2,000 Mist Coins."

Bai Yi had set the price of 2,000 Mist Coins after looking into sanity-restoring medicine.

There were currently not many sanity-restoring medicines on the market, and their prices were very stable, hovering around 1,100 to 1,200.

Most people bought them as a precaution. Few players waited until their sanity had dropped before buying medicine.

Not everyone was like Bai Yi, unafraid of losing sanity. For most people, losing too much sanity in a short time was no different from death.

Thus, after so many days of trading, the prices of sanity-related potions had barely changed.

Potions within that price range would be traded away quickly, while those priced above it received no interest at all.

No player liked secondhand dealers who maliciously marked up potion prices!

The difference between Bai Yi's Hibernation Pod and sanity-restoring medicine was that it could not restore sanity.

However, it could negate the abnormal status [Wail of the Dead], which was what players needed most at this stage.

At present, most players did not have high spirit, so Bai Yi's Hibernation Pods would definitely be in high demand.

A one-time purchase for lifelong use—it was far more cost-effective than buying medicine!

As the transaction went through, another 1,200 Mist Coins entered his account. Bai Yi now had a total of 7,110 Mist Coins.

During this time, Bai Yi had not been idle either. He sent a message to another friend.

"Bai Yi:

[Hibernation Pod

Quality: Fine

Description: A Hibernation Pod created with biotechnology. After adding fresh flesh and blood, it can negate the abnormal status 'Wail of the Dead.']"

"Bai Yi: Interested?"

The person Bai Yi contacted was Tian Dong, whom he had added as a friend when they traded medical kits earlier.

"Tian Dong: Brother Dog, you even have something this good? What's the price?"

"Bai Yi: 2,000 Mist Coins. No quantity limit."

"Tian Dong: No limit? Brother Dog, do you have a crafting blueprint? A crafting blueprint with unlimited durability?"

"Bai Yi: Shelter function."

"Tian Dong: Brother Dog, wait a moment. I'll discuss it with the guild. It'll be quick."

"Bai Yi: Alright."

After wrapping up the conversation, Wang Ziyi, Zhang Zhen, and Wei Fen came online in the squad group one after another. Once they understood the details, they did not hesitate at all and each bought one.

At the same time, Xie Xu spoke in the group:

"Xie Xu: When the treasure chests refresh, fiends will also appear in the black fog. Everyone, be more careful while searching for treasure chests."

"Wang Ziyi: You saw it with your talent? Didn't you say you couldn't use it anymore?"

"Xie Xu: I saw it earlier. I just couldn't say it until now. You still don't trust me?"

"Wang Ziyi: Who cares whether you live or die? I'm concerned about the squad's future!"

"Xie Xu: The~squad's~fu~ture~"

A bookshelf grouping feature has been added. You can add multiple books to a group for categorization. If you have any suggestions after using it, please let us know, and we'll make further adjustments.

"Wang Ziyi: Could you hurry up and die already?"

"Zhang Zhen: Alright, alright. Xie Xu, stop making Little Wang angry. She's concerned about you too."

"Wang Ziyi: Huh? I'm concerned about him? I'd love nothing more than for him to die, okay?"

"Xie Xu: Ahem, enough messing around. Does everyone have time? Let's gather for a quick meeting."

"Li Zihua: Gathering now? The treasure chests are about to refresh."

"Xie Xu: The otherworldly demons will refresh too, not just rotting corpses."

"Bai Yi: Is it dangerous?"

"Xie Xu: For us, it'll be a near-death experience!"

"Zhang Zhen: Got it. Then let's gather."

"Wei Fen: I don't mind. Whose shelter are we meeting at?"

"Wang Ziyi: Come to mine, come to mine. I'll treat you to fruit."

"Bai Yi: Sure. Tang Zheng is sleeping. Is he coming too?"

"Tang Zheng: I'm here, I'm here. The log's vibration woke me up."

"Li Zihua: Brother Tang, has your sanity recovered?"

"Tang Zheng: Much better. Dog Bro's Hibernation Pod is really comfortable—worth every penny!"

"Xie Xu: Oh, right. Make sure you bring all your equipment."

Seeing Xie Xu's final message, Bai Yi knew Xie Xu had foreseen something but couldn't say it outright, so he could only offer a subtle warning.

Bai Yi checked his equipment, placed everything into his ring, and stuffed another five hundred revolver rounds inside before sending Wang Ziyi a request.

[Wang Ziyi approved your request.]

Passing through the mist, Bai Yi arrived at Wang Ziyi's shelter.

Compared to last time, it had acquired quite a bit of furniture, making it feel far more inviting.

Likewise, several fluorescent fruits hung from the shelter's ceiling, bringing a faint glow to the room.

Wang Ziyi came up to greet him warmly. Bai Yi was the first to arrive, so he casually took a seat.

"Buzz—"

The log vibrated. It was a message from Tian Dong.

"Tian Dong: Dog Bro, we're planning to order twenty first. We may buy more later. Can you give us a discount?"

"Bai Yi: Twenty percent off."

"Tian Dong: Dog Bro, you're a real straight shooter!"

"Bai Yi: I need to look for treasure chests now. We can trade later."

"Tian Dong: No problem. Dog Bro, are you still on your own? Want to join our Steel Brotherhood?"

"Bai Yi: I've already joined a team."

"Tian Dong: Alright then. Let's keep in touch. Maybe we'll have a chance to work together someday!"

"Bai Yi: No problem."

By the time Bai Yi finished typing, everyone had arrived.

Everyone sat in the same arrangement as last time, except one person was missing—Mu Mu.

Everyone tacitly avoided bringing her up.

After a brief pause, Zhang Zhen, the eldest among them, finally spoke. "Xie Xu, why did you gather everyone together?"

At Zhang Zhen's words, everyone turned their gaze toward Xie Xu.

He leaned over the table with his hands clasped together. "I just have a rough idea: let's act together once and get used to working as a team."

Bai Yi raised an eyebrow. "What about autism?"

Xie Xu shared a scroll in the group:

[Eternal Bond Scroll

Quality: Top Grade

Description: Team item. Upon use, unlocks the team skill "Eternal Bond."]

[Eternal Bond (Active): Blocks the abnormal status "Autism" for 10 hours. Cooldown: 72 hours. Do not underestimate the bond between us!]

The moment they saw it, no one could remain calm. Wang Ziyi shot to her feet excitedly. "Where did you get that?"

"I wished for it. From a rotting corpse."

Xie Xu said it casually.

At that moment, his body radiated the golden light unique to a lucky bastard!

It was also Bai Yi's first time learning that above Fine quality was Top Grade quality.
