Chapter 575: I'll Give You Three Days to Think It Over

Chen Ye had already examined the two Wonder Materials, the Resentment Dragon Scale and the Tangled Remnant Limb, many times. The Resentment Dragon Scale went without saying.

The System's appraisal quote was twenty thousand for the Resentment Dragon Scale.

But even if it were appraised, it probably wouldn't be usable anytime soon.

The cost of using the Resentment Dragon Scale to craft a Wonder was likely astronomical.

With that, Chen Ye decided not to waste the Slaughter Points.

After all, Slaughter Points weren't that easy to come by.

Then there was the Tangled Remnant Limb.

The System's appraisal quote was ten thousand.

That appraisal quote was actually bearable.

Chen Ye currently had forty-two thousand Slaughter Points left.

But even if it were appraised, what then?

If he wanted to use this thing to craft a Wonder, the System's quote would definitely be high.

His Slaughter Points certainly wouldn't be enough.

Any expenditure that couldn't immediately boost combat power was a waste.

In the end, Chen Ye turned his gaze to the blade.

Back then, when Ding Shen used this blade, it had been wrapped in those breathing blood flames.

At the time, Chen Ye had found the blade very remarkable, but he never expected it would eventually fall into his hands.

There was also a line of text on the blade.

Chen Ye had read that line countless times: "Guard until breath ceases, or until your name is no more in this world."

He didn't know if that line was originally on the blade.

Or if Ding Shen had carved it later.

If it was original, it meant the blade's nature leaned toward guardianship.

Ding Shen was a Guardian Sequence superhuman, so why couldn't he fully unleash the blade's power?

If Ding Shen had somehow carved it later, that would make more sense.

What secrets did this blade hold?

Or rather, what was the blade's number ranking?

That woman Jiang Rou wanted this blade so badly, which clearly meant its number ranking was definitely not low.

Chen Ye gripped the hilt and felt a faint resistance coming from the blade.

Some Wonders, the moment a superhuman lightly touched them, would reveal all their information.

Those Wonders were like huskies; as soon as you grabbed the leash, they'd wag their tails and follow you.

Other Wonders required a bit more effort to obtain their information.

And then there were Wonders that, even if you had already obtained them.

You still couldn't subdue them.

The blade before him was exactly that kind.

According to Ding Shen.

Although he could use the blade, he had absolutely not unleashed its true power.

Chu Che said that Wonders had spirits, and Chen Ye had tried countless times to communicate with this blade.

But the blade always rejected Chen Ye's responses.

Without acknowledgment, the blade's value to Chen Ye was greatly diminished.

So sometimes, Chen Ye just used the blade as a utility knife.

The blade's supernatural functions were off-limits to Chen Ye.

Of course, Chen Ye still had another option.

Let the System appraise the blade.

See what mysteries the blade held that had Jiang Rou so fixated.

But even if it were appraised and he knew the blade's secrets, he probably still couldn't use it.

Many abilities of an unappraised Wonder were inaccessible to you.

It was like trying to drink soup with a toothpick while wearing gloves.

Chen Ye hesitated...

Before starting the Return to the City Plan, his current forty-two thousand Slaughter Points had to be used on the cutting edge.

Ideally, they should immediately generate combat power.

What should he do about this blade?

Chen Ye ran his fingers over the blade, thinking for over ten minutes without an answer.

There was no helping it; his understanding of Wonders was still too limited.

If it really came down to it, he'd use some unconventional methods!

But if he used that method, it would definitely make the blade submit.

It's just that it might also be hard to handle the aftermath.

Chen Ye stroked the spine of the blade and murmured softly, "Don't push me. When the time really comes..."

"I'll give you three days to think it over. If you still won't cooperate with me by then, don't blame me!"

Regardless, when he charged into Xi City, this blade had to submit to him.

Chen Ye thought this.

The blade trembled slightly, as if letting out a cold snort.

As if it were saying, "Let's see what you can do to me."

...

Early the next morning.

While Chen Ye was still sound asleep.

He heard commotion coming from outside the camp.

That night, Chen Ye had slept exceptionally well.

Perhaps because of the long, tense migration, suddenly arriving at the base with a very stable environment, Chen Ye's insomnia had improved slightly.

Last night, Chen Ye had slept a full two hours.

For Chen Ye, who suffered from insomnia, this was nothing short of a miracle.

Chen Ye yawned, rubbed his eyes, got up, and put on his clothes.

He saw the blade lying on the floor by the bed.

He had spent all last night thinking about how to handle the blade and forgot to put it away.

Chen Ye kicked it, shoving the blade under the bed.

After all, without his permission, no one could possibly sneak onto the Monster Pickup Truck to steal anything.

As soon as he opened the door, the noise outside hit Chen Ye's ears.

He saw Gong Yong proudly holding up the microwave oven.

Gong Yong's hair was a mess, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

He even exuded the vibe of a workhorse who had pulled an all-nighter without overtime pay.

The smell was pungent!

But what was up with the excited, proud expression on this guy's face?

A bunch of people surrounded him.

There were Chu Che, Sun Xixi, Xu Lina, Little Fish, Dantai Bie, and others.

Even that sunshine-filled, cheerful big boy from next door was in the crowd.
