The Classic of Classics, Scrap Metal Becomes Divine Artifact!

Bai Zhou directly gave Lin Wei five hundred Experience Points.

Bai Zhou felt Lin Wei should thank him.

Without Bai Zhou, Lin Wei would have to fight hard battles to level up.

Of course, Lin Wei didn't know she had leveled up at this moment.

She just felt a surge of energy within her.

The energy consumed from using skills during her previous fight with Chu Yun and Shen Qin was not only fully replenished but she even felt her own strength had solidified a bit.

Her second skill, which she could previously only use at most three times, now felt like she could cast it five times in a single battle if she pushed herself!

This was a huge improvement!

Why was this happening?

Lin Wei didn't know.

Just like when her talent level suddenly wasn't E-Class anymore after forming a contract with Bai Zhou.

Lin Wei didn't know the reason.

But she knew it was definitely because of Bai Zhou.

She turned to look at Bai Zhou, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

Her gaze shifted, and a sense of relief appeared in her eyes.

It was as if she was relieved she had stood up for Chu Yun when he was humiliated.

She had caught the eye of the young master Bai Zhou.

He not only gave her, a mere E-Class trash, a chance but also found the best doctor for her father!

A faint mistiness appeared in her pupils.

[Ding! Detected that the host has blocked part of the Protagonist's luck, gaining 100 Destined Villain Value. Villain Roulette requires 2900 more to activate!]

Bai Zhou, who was closing his eyes and feeling the power within him, heard the system's prompt again.

While happy, he didn't forget to complain:

"Just how much luck does this Chu Yun have! I've blocked so many parts, why does he still have it?"

The system didn't reply.

But Bai Zhou also knew.

The protagonist's powerful halo was like a sun that he couldn't possibly look at directly right now!

Bai Zhou hadn't opened his eyes yet because there was another system prompt echoing in his mind:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching Level 3. All attributes increased by 20%, Divine Weapon Maiden control increased by 2%!]

Five hundred Experience Points had made Bai Zhou a Level 3 Spirit Master.

Bai Zhou wasn't surprised by this at all, as it was only after Level 10 that one truly entered the ranks of Spirit Masters.

It was normal for leveling up to be easier before then.

As for the 20% increase in all attributes, Bai Zhou understood.

According to the original setting, for every level a Spirit Master and Divine Weapon Maiden gained, their attribute points would increase by 10%.

Both he and Lin Wei had gone from Level 1 to Level 3, which was exactly two levels.

Naturally, this would result in a 20% increase.

What Bai Zhou was curious about was:

"What does this Divine Weapon Maiden control mean?"

[Replying to the host!]

The system chose to answer this question:

[Divine Weapon Maiden control is related to the closeness between the Divine Weapon Maiden and the Spirit Master. The higher the control, the more at ease the Spirit Master will be when controlling the Divine Weapon Maiden in battle.]

[The Divine Weapon Maiden's strength will also increase.]

[If the Divine Weapon Maiden control reaches max level, the Divine Weapon Maiden's combat power will permanently increase by 100% in daily battles!]

"How much?!"

Hearing the system's voice, Bai Zhou almost couldn't help but let out a roar.

Fortunately, Bai Zhou swallowed the urge to shout.

Yes, with the news the system had just given him, how could Bai Zhou not exclaim in surprise?

A permanent 100% increase in combat power!

This meant that if he were to raise Lin Wei's Divine Weapon Maiden control to 100%, When manipulating Lin Wei's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in combat, it's equivalent to wielding two Super SSS-Class divine artifacts, right?

Just how terrifying would the combat power that could erupt from that be?

"Then how do I increase my Divine Weapon Maiden's control?"

Yeah, who wouldn't want the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear that boosts combat power by 100%?

Bai Zhou immediately asked the crucial question.

[Ding! There are two ways to increase Divine Weapon Maiden control.]

[First method: When the Spirit Master and the Divine Weapon Maiden both level up, each level gained increases control by 1%!]

This explained why the system had just prompted him that his Divine Weapon Maiden's control had increased by 2%.

But if this were the only method, the Spirit Master and the Divine Weapon Maiden would have to simultaneously reach level 100 and become gods to achieve 100% control.

That would be a bit too difficult!

So, the system immediately provided another option!

[Second method: Changes in the relationship between the Spirit Master and the Divine Weapon Maiden will result in corresponding increases in Divine Weapon Maiden control.]

[Note: This method is relatively difficult and not recommended.]

Well, alright!

You say the second method is relatively difficult and not recommended?!

But how does this young master feel that the second method is much simpler than the first one!

With that thought.

Bai Zhou opened his eyes, and it was unclear if a hint of ill intent flickered within them.

He slightly turned his head to look at Lin Wei.

Lin Wei was also looking at Bai Zhou at that moment.

Suddenly seeing Bai Zhou's gaze, Lin Wei was startled.

Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly turned her head away.

However, the way her small hands were tightly clasped together perfectly revealed the turmoil in her heart!

Looking at it this way!

The second method really would be much easier for Bai Zhou!

But Bai Zhou also knew.

This kind of thing definitely couldn't be accomplished overnight.

After all, cultivating feelings!

That would surely be a long process.

At this moment, the bodyguard leader, who was driving, also spoke up:

"Young Master, we've arrived at the place you mentioned."

Hearing this, Bai Zhou also turned to look out the car window.

In the distance was a crooked, winding alley.

Low, single-story buildings lined both sides.

Yet, this alleyway seemed somewhat overcrowded.

It was densely packed with people.

There were even neatly arranged stalls along the base of the walls.

Bai Zhou also spoke:

"Is this the West City Black Market you told me about?"

"Yes," the bodyguard leader nodded.

That's right, as soon as they left the hospital, Bai Zhou had his subordinate drive them to a place like a black market.

Because he had previously drawn a reward from the System Roulette, a not-so-rare Divine Weapon Maiden item?

And this black market, exclusive to Spirit Masters, naturally had all its goods as items for Spirit Masters and Divine Weapon Maidens!

Of course, it was primarily for Spirit Masters, with Divine Weapon Maiden items being secondary. It was unlikely to find even one Divine Weapon Maiden item among ten stalls, and it might even be fake.

As for why Bai Zhou specifically requested to go to the "West City Black Market!"

It was entirely because the original novel stated that the Protagonist, Chu Yun, after leaving the hospital with Lin Wei, immediately went to a place called the West City Black Market.

And it was here that he obtained a very important Spirit Master item for his early game!

Bai Zhou was naturally here to snatch the Protagonist's destiny!

Now that Chu Yun was lying in the hospital, Bai Zhou certainly wouldn't give Chu Yun any chance.

So, he directly spoke to his subordinate:

"Go down there and tell all the stall owners inside that my Bai Family wants all the goods they have right now!"

"Huh?" The subordinate who heard this was clearly stunned. "All... all of it?"

"That's right!" Bai Zhou nodded firmly.

Of course, Chu Yun was here to find hidden gems, and he had an old man in his mind who could tell the authenticity and quality of items at a glance.

He didn't have such an old man in his own mind.

But he had money!

Having money meant he could do whatever he wanted. If he bought everything, there was no way Chu Yun could find any hidden gems that could escape his grasp!

Of course, the head bodyguard had no idea what Bai Zhou was thinking.

He thought Bai Zhou had been lectured by his old man at home and had come out to splurge out of defiance.

But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only ask:

"Young Master, just the street stalls? Do you not want the shops along the street?"

"No need!"

Bai Zhou was very confident, but this made his subordinate even more confused:

"Young Master, the items in the shops are clearly more authentic and better. Why do we only want the street stalls?"

"What do you know!" Bai Zhou rolled his eyes. "Just go when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense?"

"Uh... Yes, yes, yes!" The head bodyguard didn't dare to delay and quickly got out of the car!

Bai Zhou, however, smiled.

Yeah, this head bodyguard knew nothing!

This was a novel world.

And one of the most classic settings in novel worlds was:

"Scrap metal yields divine artifacts!"
