Chương 47: Chapter 47、The Boss’s Black Glove and White Glove
Yi Bai repeatedly read the system prompt, confirming that he hadn't misread it. The inherited items and points had already appeared in his shelter's inventory panel. Yi Bai even took out the items and laid them in front of him.
[Random Talent Draw Ticket]: Special item that can summon a random talent from shelters at the D-B level. This is a special item, and the purchaser must first obtain purchase eligibility!
[Talent Enhancement Ticket]: Special item that can enhance the shelter's talent, ensuring a positive and strengthened transformation of the talent. This is a special item, and the purchaser must first obtain purchase eligibility!
[Personal Skill Ticket]: Item from the points shop, requires 2000 points to purchase. It randomly grants one personal skill (only usable by the player), no higher than level C.
[Perfect Composite Bow]: D-level weapon, requires 1000 points to purchase. Known as the "sniper rifle" of bows, it uses a pulley system to reduce the user's arm strength required to draw the bow, while equipped with an accurate aiming system that can easily hunt large game. It also comes with a quiver, which automatically replenishes 100 alloy arrows every day.
...
"Wow, this guy is really strong!"
"With this kind of wealth, he's definitely a big shot on the leaderboard!"
Yi Bai sucked in a sharp breath. He didn't know what kind of special qualifications this unknown enemy had, allowing them to obtain two special items. But Yi Bai knew that both of these items were no joke!
If this guy used them—especially if he got a powerful personal skill and a B-level combat talent—he'd be a force to reckon with! Even Yi Bai himself would have no choice but to adopt a defensive strategy, and he definitely wouldn't send anyone to fight him head-on.
"What should I say? Are you lucky or unlucky?"
Yi Bai surveyed the items in front of him, shaking his head with a hint of unease.
Fortunately, he had used the Opener characteristic on Lin Yue, or tonight would have been Yi Bai's unlucky night.
Yi Bai didn't use the items immediately. He decided to wait for Lin Yue to return before doing so. Especially the talent-related item—he had to let Lin Yue use it, to get some of Miss Lin's luck!
"In the intelligence from Xiaoci, that group of bandits was holed up in a standalone villa in the city. If you're being technical, it counts as a shelter."
"Lin Yue must have destroyed the shelter. She should be on her way back now."
Yi Bai waited for over an hour.
Sure enough, he heard voices from outside the window, and the iron gate opened. Lin Yue, dust-covered and tired, returned with the soldiers. She had come back victorious once again!
This girl had earned herself some serious military merit in Yi Bai's eyes.
Soon, Yi Bai heard hurried footsteps in the hallway, and Lin Yue quickly pushed open the door.
"Commander, I'm back!"
Lin Yue stood in front of Yi Bai, her face beaming with energy, though Yi Bai could still smell the faint scent of blood on her.
"How did it go?"
Yi Bai looked Lin Yue up and down, concerned. "Are you hurt?"
"No, we wiped them out!"
Lin Yue raised her head proudly. "They were somewhat capable, but under the night raid, they had no organizational ability."
"I gave my rifle to Liu Rui. His sniper skills are definitely better than mine. He wiped out their resistance right away."
"But I wasn't bad either. I think I killed one of the leaders!"
Lin Yue was very happy, and Yi Bai carefully asked, "Before you took down the leader, was he standing there, staring into the air... just like I usually do?"
"Huh! Commander, how did you know?"
Lin Yue was stunned, clearly surprised. "Commander, do you have some kind of clairvoyance? You knew that?"
"Exactly like you said, I had already snuck up to his window, and he still didn't notice me. So I threw my knife at him."
"Then, bang—headshot."
Lin Yue shrugged, a little amused. "He was so careless. He wasn't even my match."
Sure enough, this guy was unlucky!
He was probably happily spending points, purchasing items, when the next second he was shot in the head. His talent didn't even have a chance to activate, and he died without knowing what hit him.
Yi Bai thought for a moment, and if he were in the enemy's position, he would probably die with regret, not even knowing how or why.
"Not really your match, but that's normal," Yi Bai nodded in agreement. "Regular soldiers are fighting the apocalypse wars; those left behind are just ordinary people, and their combat skills can't compare to yours."
Even with strong talents, most survivors didn't possess the combat expertise of a professional soldier. Lin Yue's successful sneak attack, while seeming like luck, was truly a display of her military prowess.
"Congratulations, sir, your foresight was brilliant, the hidden danger is now resolved, and you can rest easy."
Xiaoci smiled as she spoke from the side, and Yi Bai playfully scolded her, "Since when did you learn to flatter me?"
Xiaoci smiled and covered her mouth, not replying.
"How's the post-battle cleanup going?"
Yi Bai looked at Lin Yue, asking in detail this time. He didn't leave everything to Xiaoci.
Yi Bai knew that, as the leader of the shelter, even though he wasn't familiar with everything, he needed to actively learn and pay attention.
"There are no more enemies alive in the villa, but we did find some captives—men, women, and children."
"I heard from the captives that they were all captured to be used as meat puppets by that leader. Seeing their plight, I decided to release them."
"They asked me for my name, and not wanting to expose our secrets, I lied."
Lin Yue paused. Yi Bai asked, "How did you lie?"
"I told them my name was Lei Feng."
Lin Yue scratched her head, smiling awkwardly. "They kept insisting I was from the Liberation Army, but I told them I wasn't, I was from the Lei Feng Army."
"Hahaha, well, well, well, the Lei Feng Army."
Yi Bai laughed heartily, with no intention of scolding her. Lin Yue, seeing Yi Bai in a good mood, cautiously continued.
"Also... I felt bad for them, so I let them take some supplies from the villa—just food and water."
"I figured we were there for a fight, and we didn't prepare much, so we couldn't carry much. Plus, it was an intense battle, and I'm sure some other survivors must have heard it."
"I thought, even if I went back to the villa to take more stuff, it would probably get stolen by others, so I decided to do something good..."
Lin Yue saw Yi Bai's smile fade, and her heart sank, feeling more uneasy. She lowered her head. "Commander... I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"It's fine, what you said makes sense. We went there to fight, focusing on quick results and swift retreats. Even if we won, we couldn't carry much."
Yi Bai waved his hand. Although he was a bit disappointed about the lost supplies, he couldn't bring himself to blame Lin Yue for her excellent performance in the battle. "If it's gone, it's gone. Consider it a good deed."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Lin Yue smiled, relieved. She knew that Yi Bai was kind-hearted and wouldn't truly hold it against her.
Yi Bai sighed. He could now see how different the three women under his command were.
Li Ya was quiet, much like him—a homebody who stayed indoors researching things.
Xiaoci was ruthless—using the phrase "would kill without blinking" to describe her was no exaggeration.
But Lin Yue was the odd one out—she was a warrior who dealt with blood daily, yet still had a kind heart and couldn't stand seeing the weak suffer.
"Looks like I'll have to leave the dirty work to Xiaoci and let Lin Yue handle the more straightforward tasks."
Yi Bai thought to himself, and then suddenly smiled.
This meant that, essentially, he had both a black and a white glove—someone to represent his will no matter what he did.
Upon further thought, wasn't this just the behind-the-scenes plan Xiaoci had set up for him?
Meanwhile, Xiaoci remained silent, gently smiling as she elegantly stood by, her eyes always focused on Yi Bai.
"By the way, Liu Rui is the sniper, right?"
"Then there's no need to give him the rifle. Snipers should be able to handle composite bows, right?"
Yi Bai pointed to the composite bow on the table. "Let him use this instead for now as a substitute sniper rifle."
"Understood, Commander. I'll pass it to him right away."
Lin Yue nodded, ready to take the composite bow and leave, but Yi Bai called out, "Wait! Don't rush off, help me with something."
"Commander, please give the order!"
Lin Yue turned around and stood at attention, but Yi Bai smiled and waved his hand. "Come on, don't be so formal. Sit next to me."
Lin Yue's face turned slightly red, but she obediently sat next to Yi Bai. "Commander, is there a new mission?"
"No, nothing that serious. Do you remember helping me use the coupons last time?"
"Of course, I remember."
"Well, there's one more today. Please help me use it."
Yi Bai handed over the [Random Talent Draw Ticket] with an expectant look. "You have good luck, so you do it."
The talent enhancement ticket and personal skill ticket both directly affected Yi Bai, so he didn't expect any help from Lin Yue's luck.
But for the talent draw, it had to be Lin Yue!
She had the European luck—Yi Bai was ready to benefit from it!
"Okay."
Lin Yue nodded obediently. She shook the ticket in her hand and tentatively asked, "Use it?"
In an instant, dazzling golden light filled the room!
Within moments, the golden glow spread like an ocean, and Yi Bai's eyes widened in shock.
"This is serious!"
"This must be a top-tier talent!"
