"You've received 4 high-grade psionic crystals."
"You've received a refined katana."
The remaining two draws didn't produce anything good. Although a piece of equipment came out, the refined katana was only a blue-grade weapon.
In terms of attack power, the refined katana was about the same as Li Shuyi's secondary weapon, the refined rapier. Li Shuyi didn't need to change his secondary weapon. After all, the refined rapier's + 4 effect was a critical hit and bleeding effect. It was a rare special effect.
In addition, there were four high-grade Psionic Crystals. They had appeared once before. They could be placed into the strengthening slot when strengthening equipment. The increase in success rate was equivalent to a Blue equipment of the same type.
No one would complain about having too many of these things.
"It's a pity. If we didn't steal Matsuura Shinkuro's katana, we might have been able to get his treasured katana. It would definitely be a gold-grade equipment, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi smiled and said, "Don't be greedy … Matsuura Shinkuro wouldn't have left the island even if we didn't use this method. Besides, if we fought underwater and he had his own treasured katana, I don't even know if I could beat him. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. This time, killing Matsuura Shinkuro and stealing his treasured katana should be considered a deduction from the spirit realm's rules. In the end, the gold katana became a blue katana.
However, Bai Xiaowen's biggest goal was to complete the quest of finding the sword and obtain the Clustered Cloud Sword. There was less than a day left. It wasn't enough time to explore and complete the additional side quest. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi discussed and decided to return.
Of course, before returning, Bai Xiaowen still waited for a while and met the legendary national hero, Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang had already tied up all the Wokou pirates who had lost their will to fight and locked them in the lower cabin. After doing all this, Qi Jiguang came to meet with Bai Xiaowen. He praised Bai Xiaowen for his contributions in this battle.
Bai Xiaowen had already gotten what he wanted. What was the point of wanting more credit? He cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said, "It's all thanks to the General's wise command, as well as Zhang Ting and the other two captains, as well as the two hundred soldiers fighting bravely. How could I dare to claim the credit?"
Qi Jiguang was a little surprised. He probed a little more, but when he saw Bai Xiaowen's firm attitude and unwillingness to take credit, he had a whole new level of respect for him.
"The Immortal Bai is a true highly achieved Daoist swordsman. I'm impressed."
Bai Xiaowen received a notification from the Spirit Realm's law. His affinity with Qi Jiguang had reached the level of acquaintance.
"General Qi, the main merit of killing the real Wo Xin Jiulang naturally belongs to you. However, Zhang Ting and the other two captains, as well as the two hundred bodyguards that the Governor sent to help me, also contributed greatly. I hope that General Qi will not forget to bring them along when you submit your report."
Qi Jiguang nodded and said with a smile, "That's what I should do. Even if the Immortal Bai didn't mention it, I would still do so."
Bai Xiaowen felt reassured. The two hundred bodyguards were Hu Zongxian's subordinates, and Qi Jiguang was one of Hu Zongxian's assistants. He wouldn't take the credit of his superior's bodyguards for Hu Zongxian's sake when he submitted his report.
As for Zhang Ting and the other two captains, they were the captains of Yu Dayou's bodyguards. Bai Xiaowen had learned that Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang often practiced martial arts in their spare time, so they had a good relationship. As such, he didn't need to worry about this.
"What is General Qi going to do with these real Wo soldiers?" Bai Xiaowen asked again.
Qi Jiguang said with a smile, "Of course I'll capture them and submit a report to the capital, asking the Emperor and the officials of the imperial court to make a decision."
"What would the imperial court do to them?"
After some thought, Qi Jiguang said, "Though I don't dare to make a decision, there are precedents. The captive leaders and leaders of the real Wo soldiers will be punished according to the law. As for the real Wo soldiers who are affiliated with the rebels, they will be executed by assassination and exiled."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Don't the officials of the imperial court know nothing about the military? The real Wo soldiers should be killed to the last one; at least, they shouldn't be allowed to do evil again. The assassination is merely a mark for the Wo soldiers; it won't prevent them from resuming their old business. "
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "We have captured nearly two thousand real Wo soldiers this time. If we kill them all, it will be too cruel; I'm afraid that the Censorate will impeach us."
Yet, Bai Xiaowen understood Qi Jiguang's intention.
On one hand, Qi Jiguang didn't want to kill them all, which would cause unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, capturing two thousand people was more valuable than killing two thousand people.
The report of the generals of the border defense was very particular.
"Defeating two thousand real Wo soldiers" was the least valuable in the report of the report of the war; it was merely defeating a group of Wo soldiers. Were they real Wo soldiers? Were there two thousand of them? It was hard to say because there was no way to verify it.
"Behead two thousand people of the True Pirates." The word "behead" was more valuable. Since the border defense general dared to write such a sentence, no matter how fishy the real result was, at least two thousand heads must be taken. This was called having solid evidence.
However, the word 'kill' could also be fishy. For example, among the heads that were chopped off, did they use fake Wo heads to shave their hair and pretend to be real Wo soldiers? Or even worse, did they kill good people and claim credit?
"Capturing two thousand real Wo soldiers" was the most valuable. In the eyes of the emperor and the cabinet, it was also the most trustworthy. It was also the least exaggerated. Two thousand real Wo prisoners were tied up in the camp. Don't believe it? Come and check it out. Find a few translators and you will know that real gold fears no fire.
Therefore, when the imperial court commends military service, the third type of report would definitely be greatly praised. As for the first two types, they would be discounted according to the degree of praise.
After understanding Qi Jiguang's intention, Bai Xiaowen didn't try to persuade him to kill these real Wo soldiers.
Instead, he suggested, "General Qi, these real Wo soldiers have been torturing the people of Jiangnan and have committed serious crimes. If the imperial court doesn't punish them severely, the generals and soldiers who have contributed to the military service will feel disappointed. Of course, General Qi doesn't have to take the risk of killing them … "
Qi Jiguang felt relieved. As long as he wasn't forced to kill them, everything would be fine. "What good plan does the Immortal Bai have?" he asked hastily.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "The imperial court needs the help of the people in many places, such as regulating the Yellow River and dredging the canals. Instead of enlisting the people of the Ming Dynasty, it's better to let these captives do the work. It can be considered that they can use the rest of their lives to wash away the sins they have committed in the first half of their lives."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued, "Even if they don't need to regulate the river, we can let these pirates join the army. The Tatars in the north have not yet been dealt with, so we can enlist the captives of the real Wo soldiers into the dare-to-die battalions and force them to fight against the Tatars. This way, our Ming Dynasty will shed less blood. "
After some thought, Qi Jiguang said, "The plan proposed by the Immortal Bai is indeed good; but I'm not sure if the imperial court will agree to it."
"As long as General Qi mentions one or two suggestions in the memorial, it will be fine. We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. If the chancellors in the imperial court refuse this suggestion because they don't want to talk about benefits, then it's fine. " When Bai Xiaowen talked about the arrangement of the captives of the Wo soldiers, he didn't intend to seek any benefits for himself; he merely wanted to do something for the Ming Dynasty in this world.
Qi Jiguang agreed with a nod.
"Well, the matter of the Wo pirates is finally settled. General Qi, I'll take my leave now, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Qi Jiguang was taken aback. "There is no need for the Immortal Bai to leave in such a hurry. At least let the battleships take you to the shore. Since you've done such a good job for me, I should at least prepare a banquet to entertain you as a host. "
"No need for that. As a Cultivation practitioner, fame and fortune are nothing to me. The place where my heart is at ease is my home," Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to Zhang Ting and others with a smile, and then walked back to the cabin with Li Shuyi.
Qi Jiguang didn't understand his intention. After a moment of bewilderment, he walked over and pushed open the cabin door.
It was empty in the cabin; not even a shadow could be seen.
"It's strange; where is the Immortal Bai?" Qi Jiguang wondered. He looked at the cabin door thoughtfully. He saw Bai Xiaowen and Zhao Layue push open the cabin door and walk in, but how come they were nowhere to be seen? It was as if the cabin door was connected to another invisible world.
…
After a slight sense of weightlessness, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi arrived at the interface of the checkout after the starlight twinkled.
The scenes flashed like a movie against the background of the starry sky.
When they first entered the world of Jiajing, they killed Chen Duyan, the second-in-command of the Japanese pirates under Pockmarked Ye's command.
They sailed into the ocean and killed the King of Black Zombie and the White Ghost on the Foggy Gauze Island.
They killed the two Japanese pirate bosses in the Battle of the Golden Gate.
They set up a trap on the Penghu Islands to kill Xin Jiulang, the leader of the Japanese pirates.
The last scene was when Li Shuyi thrust his sword forward and took away the last bit of Matsuura Xinjiulang's life.
"Thank you for your hard work," Bai Xiaowen looked at Li Shuyi, feeling sentimental.
Li Shuyi had indeed paid a great price. During the few days when she went to Ningbo, she spent almost all her time in the ocean and practiced fighting in the underwater environment.
It was because of this that Li Shuyi could kill Matsuura Xinjiulang, the leader of the Japanese pirates at level seven, even though he was only a rare elite of level five. She deserved the title of the checkout after the checkout.
"It's not hard work. You've thought so much and planned so much. You're the one who has worked the hardest. "Li Shuyi held Bai Xiaowen's hand and smiled sweetly.
The Spiritual Realm's rules prompted information:
"Exploration Dimension: Jiajing Dimension."
"Time used: 9 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes, 46 seconds."
"Range: Ming Dynasty, Fujian – Zhejiang."
"Based on the mission you've discovered and completed, you've received 13,085 Psionic Points as a reward. Current Total Psionic Points: 220,496. "
"You've accumulated 2198 Jiajing Dimension Fame. Your Fame in the Jiajing Dimension Fame is Class B (Famous Far and Wide). "
"You've received a Class B title: Elite Marine Battle."
[Elite Marine Battle: In a marine battle environment, all your attributes + 3. Your swimming speed + 10%.]
Li Shuyi's World Fame was more than 1,000 points, which just happened to be Class B, so the title she received was also Elite Marine Battle.
This title was more practical than the Class A title that Bai Xiaowen had received in the previous dimension. In the future, before he fought in a marine battle, he could switch to this title in advance. The effect of the + 3 to all attributes was almost equivalent to two pieces of Gold Equipment!
Of course, for many Awakened, the real benefit of the + 3 to all attributes was the + 3 to Constitution and the + 3 to one of the main combat attributes. For example, for strength-type Awakened, the real benefit was the + 3 to strength and Constitution. For spiritual-type Awakened, the real benefit was the + 3 to spirit and Constitution.
Therefore, according to the actual effect, this title was equivalent to an effective attribute increase of 6 points in a marine battle environment.
However, this was still better than a piece of Gold Equipment. A Class B title was still very useful.
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while. In the future, when his skills reached LV4 and above, he would not need the buff of the Strongest Academic Genius title to maintain the LV4 special effect. The Strongest Academic Genius title's enhancement would not be so great. In a marine battle environment, he could consider switching to the Elite Marine Battle title.
It was important to note that switching titles had a cooldown time. After equipping a new title, if he wanted to switch to another title, he would have to wait for a certain period of time. The higher the grade of the title that was already equipped, the longer the cooldown time.
The two of them had more than 220,000 psionic points. This was not what they had gained in the Jiajing dimension. Instead, it was a huge sum of money that they had brought with them before entering the Jiajing dimension. It was the profit that Bai Xiaowen had won when he opened a shop in Earth's virtual lobby. In summary, it was still considered a follow-up profit from the Cain dimension.
With so many psionic points, the two of them naturally had to strengthen their equipment.
However, the time they had spent in the Jiajing dimension was relatively short. The two of them did not really have much equipment on them. On Bai Xiaowen's side, he only gained a pair of Gold-grade Sharkskin Boots. On the other hand, Li Shuyi only gained a new Ring of Nothingness.
As for the Clustered Cloud Sword, it had already been swallowed by the Kusanagi Sword Soul in Bai Xiaowen's body. It was still in the process of leveling up. Naturally, there was no need to strengthen it.
"Although we have plenty of psionic points, there's no need to strengthen it carelessly. Before we have a 100% success rate, it's absolutely not allowed to upgrade the equipment we're wearing to + 7," Bai Xiaowen said after thinking for a while. "However, we can take a step back and upgrade our weapons and clothes to + 6 first. As for the two new Gold-grade equipment, we only need to upgrade them to + 4."
If they failed to upgrade to + 6, at most, the equipment's level would be cleared. However, the equipment would still be there, and their strength would not be affected too much.
If they failed to upgrade to + 7, their equipment would be completely destroyed, and their strength would be affected.
The benefits of upgrading their weapons and clothes were the greatest. Gold-grade weapons would have an additional attack power increase by 10% every time they were upgraded. Gold-grade clothes, on the other hand, would have a damage reduction of 3% every time they were upgraded!
Blue equipment cost less psionic points each time they were upgraded. Of course, the effect of the upgrade was also slightly inferior. Blue weapons would have an attack power increase of 6.7% every time they were upgraded. Blue clothes would only have a damage reduction of 2% every time they were upgraded.
Li Shuyi nodded in agreement.
The two of them then began to strengthen their equipment. After a while, Bai Xiaowen's Desert Eagle pistol and Enchanter's Robe, as well as Li Shuyi's secondary weapons, Refined Rapier and Kendo Robe, were all upgraded to + 6.
For this, the two of them paid a total of 60,000 psionic points.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The upgrading of their weapons and clothes was indeed worth it. The additional attack power of the Desert Eagle had increased from the initial 6 to 14 points to 10 to 22 points. Including Bai Xiaowen's current 22 points of strength, the theoretical damage of each shot was 21 to 55 points. It was quite high.
