Chapter 768 - 763: Does He Like Me?
Hearing Bai Pu ask her to come out, Salacia didn’t hesitate much and chose to reveal herself.
Just now, when he was fighting the Lord Level Tree Demon, he didn’t call me out during the dangerous moments.
Now that the fight is over and it’s safe, he calls me out.
Does he care about me?
Salacia’s head was a little muddled.
However, when she thought of the Spirit Plant Master Bai Yujing back home and his stunning looks, Salacia sobered up quite a bit, and rationality reclaimed the high ground.
"Hello, may I ask who you..."
"I’m called Gangxin."
Bai Pu said indifferently, "This is my real code name. For others, I have another alias. Do not reveal it to anyone else."
Through Gaia’s Will, he could selectively show different people his real code name or alias.
Of course, the premise is the thirty thousand Spiritual Points alias fee.
For example, if Bai Pu’s Prismatic Domain simultaneously enveloped Salacia and the members of the Furnace Squad, providing both sides with speed enhancements—
Then in Salacia’s battle record, it would appear as [Awakened Gangxin’s Prismatic Domain allows you to gain 93 Movement Speed].
Meanwhile, in the Furnace Squad’s battle record, it would appear as [Awakened Bai Yujing (alias)’s Prismatic Domain allows you to gain 93 Movement Speed].
Salacia was a bit confused again.
He uses an alias for others.
But he told me his real name.
Does he like me?
Oh no, who exactly should I choose?
The genius "Gangxin" in front of me, with overwhelming power like a domineering CEO, my father would certainly approve of him as a son-in-law of the Silver Wind Clan.
But what about the puppy-eyed Spirit Plant Master "Bai Yujing" at Green City Manor?
Salacia, you must not betray your morals.
Stick to your original intention, you initially liked Bai Yujing!
Salacia silently told herself.
However, as she lifted her head and saw Gangxin’s face, her gaze couldn’t help but shift.
Despite knowing that the Awakened in the Spirit Realm almost always purchase Spirit Realm Will’s appearance illusion service, making Gangxin’s real face different from what he shows.
Yet Salacia also knew that the appearance change provided by Spirit Realm Will is based on the Awakened’s own charm.
In other words, Gangxin’s Hidden Attribute of Charm must be extremely high, for his illusionary appearance to be this good-looking—which means Gangxin’s real appearance must also be very attractive, definitely not inferior to Bai Yujing.
"Miss Salacia, have you also applied for the Major General Trial in this Spirit Realm match?"
Bai Pu directly asked, "Do you know what your promotion task is?"
Information about a promotion task is almost more sensitive than a bank account password.
Salacia, at least a bit cautious, possibly due to being heavily taken advantage of last time her information leaked, countered with, "Why do you want to know this?"
"If you don’t want to say, then forget it."
Bai Pu waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Bone Dao from whence he came.
Salacia hurriedly followed, "That’s not what I meant... hey, hey, I’ll tell you, but don’t spread it, my promotion task is..."
This young lady of the Green Alliance, worried that Bai Pu was angry, hurriedly revealed her Major General promotion task.
"Emm..."
Bai Pu glanced at it, looking at the content of the promotion task, and fell into contemplation.
[Golden Vice Admiral Salacia, this is your second application for the Major General Trial. The difficulty of this trial has increased by 50%.]
[Golden Vice Admiral Salacia, your Major General Trial task objective is: Destroy the Tide Demon Mother Pool in the Shadow Island Chain without external assistance.]
[Task Deadline: Corresponds to the remaining time you have in the Heart Demon World.]
[Failure Penalty: None.]
The Shadow Island Chain is located in the north’s Eternal Night Dark Sea, Black Emperor’s base camp.
Bai Pu didn’t know what the Tide Demon Mother Pool was, but he could speculate a bit.
According to intelligence data provided by Heart-Burning Style and Illusion, the Tide Demon is a unique demon species troop under Black Emperor, similar to the Water Element in the Western Fantasy World, skilled in using tides and water flow for demon techniques and martial skills attacks.
A single Tide Demon isn’t frightening; what’s frightening are the hundreds or thousands of them combining into one entity like water. The more there are, the stronger the combined power becomes.
The Tide Demon Mother Pool could be the "barracks" that "births" Tide Demons!
It can be imagined how important the Tide Demon Mother Pool is in Black Emperor’s eyes, and it must be heavily guarded.
The difficulty of destroying the Tide Demon Mother Pool is so exaggerated that even Bai Pu thinks so.
"It’s very difficult, right... after learning what the Shadow Island Chain is, to be honest, I don’t have much hope for this task anymore."
Salacia said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Your task is in the northern Eternal Night Dark Sea, why are you coming to the Bone Dao between Corruption Forest and Red Annihilation River?" Bai Pu asked.
"I’m going to Corruption Forest to find people who still want to help me." Salacia was quite honest, "With just my power, completing this task is almost impossible... I heard that there are two Silver Wind Clan teams under Julian that were matched to Corruption Forest, and the team leaders have some connections with me."
Bai Pu understood: "You want those two team leaders to rally their teams under you to help you? Hmm, you might as well give Julian a bit of trouble. Not a bad idea."
Plastic sisters indeed.
Salacia drooped her head in frustration, "But I was discovered by Julian and the Muji Clan people, and then got chased all the way here."
"What do you plan to do next," Bai Pu’s tone was flat.
Discussing this much with Salacia wasn’t just Bai Pu being bored or wanting to flirt.
This was an investigation.
For Earth to establish a foothold in the Silver Heart Great World, strong allies must be found on the Silver Heart Continent, making more friends and fewer enemies.
The Silver Wind Clan, and even the Green Alliance backing them, were among Bai Pu’s targets to connect with.
He had learned long ago that Green Alliance and Burning Ash naturally didn’t get along and often opposed each other in the Silver Heart Council.
These are natural allies.
However, Earth’s current overall strength is too weak, making alliances unnecessary in the eyes of Green Alliance leaders.
Hence, investing from the perspective of inheritors, forming friendships with the inheritors of the Green Alliance’s core family—the Silver Wind Clan, proves to be a fine circuitous strategy.
But who exactly will be the inheritor of the Silver Wind Clan?
Salacia, Julian, or perhaps someone else?
Bai Pu didn’t think the massive Silver Wind Clan only had these two women competing.
If Salacia possesses a certain capability—here referring to her mental determination and tenacity—Bai Pu would invest in her.
Even if she’s not so outstanding, Bai Pu would strive to push her to the top position as the primary heir of the Silver Wind Clan!
This is because Bai Pu is confident in his influence in the Spirit Realm exploration and Spirit Realm warfare, and the current criteria for Silver Wind Clan choosing an heir clearly focuses on development potential in Spirit Realm warfare!
