Congratulations, Host, on completing a personal commission! Reward: Firefly · Sam portrayal progress increased by 20%, 40 Commission Coins. Congratulations, Host! Firefly · Sam portrayal progress has surpassed 50%. Special Armor · Cold Condensation Knight · Caesar acquired! Firefly · Sam has unlocked Complete Combustion Mode!

"Hmm?"

After Yang Zhenwei left, a series of notifications came from the system.

Besides the usual reward, he had also obtained something unexpected.

Originally, he had thought that once his portrayal progress exceeded 50%, the system would give him something like Sam's transformation device.

After all, Firefly's combat power mainly came from Sam.

But now, that did not seem to be the case. Judging from the title, this appeared to be armor of the same type as Sam.

Yu Wuyi clenched his small hand, and a transformation device about the size of his palm appeared out of thin air.

The device was dark blue all over, shaped like a beetle bristling with sharp edges.

"Caesar... similar to Sam's transformation device, but a different model?"

Driven by curiosity, Yu Wuyi struck a pose and pressed the transformation device.

The beetle-shaped device suddenly unfolded along its back, revealing pale blue, cicada-wing-thin wings patterned like honeycombs.

A snow-white whirlwind carrying shards of ice enveloped Yu Wuyi. The temperature inside the Odd Jobs House continued to plummet, dropping below zero in an instant!

Bzz—

As a brilliant blue light lit up within it, the icy whirlwind exploded in an instant!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless bottles of drinks and liquor were shattered by the ice fragments, while the tables and chairs were knocked over by the wind pressure.

Behind the bar stood a mecha over two meters tall, imposing and unmoving.

Its body was sharply angular, its helmet fierce and sinister. Dark-blue plating was accented with sky-blue streamlined patterns.

The entire mecha radiated a chillingly intimidating aura.

"Uh..."

However, Yu Wuyi's attention was entirely focused on the mess before him.

He had not expected this transformation to cause such a huge disturbance.

It was also a transformation, yet Sam seemed not to affect the surrounding environment?

But when he thought back to portraying Firefly, he recalled a certain feeling.

The reason Sam did not affect the surroundings seemed to be because Firefly deliberately controlled it?

Following that feeling, Yu Wuyi deliberately restrained Caesar's release of cold air.

To his surprise, it really worked. The temperature in the Odd Jobs House began to rise again.

His talent was not bad. He had grasped the trick on his very first attempt.

"So that's how it is. There are even details like this."

Yu Wuyi marveled inwardly at how impressive Firefly was. No wonder the flames when Firefly transformed out of Sam in the story had not burned her herself.

So this was something that could be controlled manually!

Maintaining a rigorous attitude, Yu Wuyi used the same method when he transformed back.

Sure enough, the whirlwind from the transformation did not explode, and the ice fragments merely fell where they were.

"Learning something new always brings joy."

With a wave of Yu Wuyi's hand, the wrecked Odd Jobs House seemed to rewind through time, everything moving backward as though being played in reverse.

A moment later, it had returned to its original state.

Clapping his hands, Yu Wuyi looked with satisfaction at the spotless Odd Jobs House and silently gave the system a thumbs-up.

If he had needed to clean up that mess himself, he probably would not have slept tonight.

"Mm~ Today's a good day. Maybe it won't even take two days for my first character card to reach 100%."

He had already assumed that Yang Zhenwei would be unable to obtain the Silky Tulip.

Although the Jade-Scaled Seven-Absolute Flowers around the valley's outskirts could not stop a Super Douluo like him, they could stop most of the others.

Ever since he had escorted Ning Tian back that day, he had known that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had at most three Title Douluos, in addition to Yang Zhenwei, the Super Douluo.

Although the Silky Tulip was a rare treasure of the mortal world, they surely would not lose their heads and deploy all their Title Douluo powerhouses for a dangerous operation over a single flower.

After all, someone had to remain behind to guard the headquarters. The sects out in the open might not have any designs on them, but who knew how many people were watching them covetously from the shadows?

By a conservative estimate, at least two Title Douluos would need to stay behind. That meant the only ones able to pass through the Jade-Scaled Seven-Absolute Flowers would be Yang Zhenwei and one other Title Douluo.

But after that, they would still have to face the six plant-type fierce beasts empowered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In this situation, assuming Yang Zhenwei could hold off four enemies alone while the other Titled Douluo could handle two, they would just barely be able to block all the fierce beasts.

Then the question was, if both of them went off to fight, who would retrieve the Silky Tulip?

Not to mention that the Silky Tulip itself was one of the six great fierce beasts.

Thus, if they wanted to obtain the Silky Tulip, they had only two options.

Either they came to Wuyi All-Purpose House to accept a blue commission, or they sought aid from other factions.

If they chose the latter, Yu Wuyi would not mind making the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect vanish from the Douluo Continent.

The words he had said to Yang Zhenwei carried another meaning as well.

None of the six great fierce beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were anything less than top-grade immortal herbs, not to mention the other immortal herbs that had yet to mature.

If news of them got out, countless eager factions would surely go to every length to obtain them.

Although Yu Wuyi was an egoist, he still did not want one of the three great treasure lands to face utter destruction because of him.

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers, all the lights in the All-Purpose House went out, and the alley returned to its deserted appearance.

He returned to his room to rest as well.

Time flew by, and another seven days passed just like that.

At noon on the seventh day, just as Yu Wuyi had expected, several unsurprising guests arrived at the All-Purpose House.

They were Heaven-Shaking Douluo Yang Zhenwei, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Yunye, and Ning Tian, dressed in a fitted combat outfit.

For some reason, she had cut her formerly long hair short. Together with her crisp attire, she looked especially valiant.

"Welcome to Wuyi All-Purpose House. What can I do for you?"

Yu Wuyi smiled meaningfully.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a serving of those pastries from last time!"

Ning Tian unceremoniously sat on the counter and said energetically.

"So it's little Ning Tian. You've changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."

Compared to before, she was not only prettier, but her face also glowed with health.

"Are you Master Yu? Truly, a hero emerges in youth."

Ning Tian was about to reply, but Ning Yunye's words interrupted her.

Remembering their main purpose for coming today, she could only purse her lips to show her displeasure.

Yu Wuyi smiled at her expression before shifting his attention to Ning Yunye.

"You flatter me, Sect Master Ning. You are also a fine-looking and elegant gentleman."

"May I ask what brings you to my All-Purpose House today?"

There was no need to guess the other party's purpose, but some things had to be spoken aloud by the person himself.

Ning Yunye sat down beside Ning Tian and said in a refined, easygoing manner:

"With Master Yu's vast knowledge of ancient and modern times, I fear you already knew that Yunye would come—and why I came."

Ignoring the flattery, Yu Wuyi replied noncommittally:

"Then, Sect Master Ning, have you come today to accept that commission?"

"Or are you here to discuss terms?"

Ning Yunye's gaze narrowed slightly. He had not expected the other party to know even that.

But it made sense. If they were merely accepting the commission, Yang Zhenwei alone would have been enough, would he not?

His presence here today already made his intentions clear.
