In the blink of an eye, the last day of December arrived.

Many things had happened during this time; one by one, magnificent merchant caravans gradually arrived in Dongwu City.

Some arrived via the Teleportation Array, some used magical beasts for travel, others were ordinary merchant caravans, and a few even came by iron airship.

Recently, the Inner City District of Dongwu City was bustling with excitement. Originally, the Apocalypse Legion guarded in shifts of two thousand people each; now, it was replaced with shifts of five thousand per team, significantly strengthening the city's management.

The Federation had laws, the city had ordinances, and with more powerful Transcendents, conflicts tended to arise.

However, these individuals gave the Old City Lord face by generally avoiding trouble, as the Old City Lord's strength was widely acknowledged.

Nevertheless, some violations of the law were unavoidable.

Of course, Mosen showed no favor to anyone; he enforced the law strictly, whether it was the Legislator Clan or powerful transcendents.

Anyone causing disturbances in Dongwu City would be sent to prison, without bail, either executed or sent to open up wastelands as laborers.

After a series of actions to make examples, Dongwu City eventually regained its peace.

Beep beep beep....

Dawn Potion Shop, Laboratory.

The mechanical alert sound kept going off. At this moment, 30% of the instruments in the laboratory were destroyed, and 70% of the area suffered varying degrees of damage.

Various materials scattered on the ground, some potions or special liquids from potion making spilled on the floor, making the place look more like a battlefield than a laboratory.

Baiyi, who had been in a deep sleep for three days, his whole body covered in blood, with an exceptionally pale complexion, slightly moved his eyes.

He opened his eyes in a daze, quietly staring at the ceiling, a flash of scarlet passed through his eyes.

After a while, he seemed to finally remember what happened. Four days ago, Sabo found most of the materials he needed, including the best materials and substitutes, and these materials were of considerable quality.

At that time, Baiyi had already maxed out his skill level in Evil Transformation and had completed the orders from those wealthy merchants, was replenishing the potion reserves of the shop, and preparing to enhance various mechanical defenses of the shop.

Upon seeing the numerous materials Sabo brought over, plus a returned Dawn Badge, Baiyi first checked the Dawn Badge and discovered it actually contained forty thousand Contribution Points.

So, Baiyi decisively began transforming his dark side, considering Sabo managed to get a refund and did so by the ninth day.

That indicated that in the short term, finding all the materials was impossible.

And most of these materials were of the Golden Level, like this one.

[Name: Desire Demon Tentacle.

Attribute: Material/Limb.

Grade: Golden.

Introduction: A tentacle from a Level 58 Desire Demon in the Abyss, possessing strong pollution properties, seemingly the perfect material for certain aphrodisiac substances.

Price: 30 Gold Coins.]

These Golden Level items were not rare, as in the Abyss, although Golden wasn't everywhere, Golden Lower Tier Abyssal Creatures were not uncommon.

As to why the Golden Level material only received a quote of 30 Gold Coins...

It's simple. This thing wasn't very valuable; besides being used in Evil Transformation or Evil Potions, it had no use at all.

Even if buried in a pit, it would pollute the land.

Baiyi slightly turned his head, the scarlet flashed again in his pitch-black pupils.

He directed his consciousness inward, around his heart, a drop of pitch-black blood was trying to penetrate his heart but was stopped by the blood flow.

Just by spiritually observing, Baiyi even felt the unwillingness and... anger of this drop of blood!

Baiyi rubbed his temples and sat up; it seemed that the material levels provided by Sabo were too high, and now his Soul Power and Specialties weren't sufficient.

Thinking it over, he stood up on somewhat unsteady feet, stumbling, he took out a Soul Crystal Core from the Potion Box.

He hesitated a bit, as crafting it into a potion would clearly be more valuable.

But now there wasn't much time, and because the dark side's influence was too strong, he might not be able to create a potion exceeding the level.

After contemplating for a while, he still placed the fist-sized Soul Crystal Core near his mouth, biting it like an apple.

Immediately, the Soul Gourmet specialty was triggered. Where his teeth contacted the Soul Crystal, azure crystal fragments swiftly flowed, an intense deliciousness hit, causing Baiyi's every movement to pause for a moment.

Panel information flashed by, [You consumed a Soul Crystal Core, Spiritual Power +18.]

Baiyi felt a bit clearer-headed, the soul's ascension suppressed some of the dark side's influences.

After drinking an Energy Potion to replenish his body's needs, followed by a Spiritual Recovery Potion.

Baiyi finally connected to the external communication.

"Whew~ Boss, you finally responded. Earlier, a powerful Alchemist visited, bought all our potions, and said he wanted to meet you alone. He's resting in the parlor now."

Aileen's voice carried an obvious sigh of relief, quickly recounting everything that happened.

Baiyi was taken aback, instinctively turning his head to find an extra Dawn Badge on the box storing Gold Coins without knowing when it appeared.

Upon checking, he found this badge contained eighty thousand Contribution Points, exactly the sum of the prices of those potions Baiyi restocked a while back.

"I see, I'll be out shortly."

Within a few bites, he finished eating the Soul Crystal Core in hand, the first core consumed directly, grabbing him a total of 40 Spirit Attribute points, which was undoubtedly a massive boost.

Thinking it over, the tails of his coat released thirty Worker Bees, twenty-eight of them began tidying the laboratory, while the remaining two emitted steam to cleanse the blood and grime from his body.

Panel information flashed frequently, mostly about increased Spiritual Power.

All these increases were due to continually consuming Soul Crystals to boost attributes.

After carefully sensing any potential dark side impacts on himself, he invested all of the remaining twenty attribute points into Spirit.

Instantly, the vague sense of unease fully subsided, at this moment, his soul's ascension allowed him to regain control over his body, and the drop of pitch-black blood near his heart completely calmed down.

Baiyi exhaled deeply, feeling that everything was finally done, he now truly possessed the attributes of a BOSS. Now was the time to develop the economy and find opportunities to level up.

Seeing the Worker Bees pile the utterly broken instruments into the corner, Baiyi still mostly clean, with his clothes quickly drying under the effect of Magic Power, he retrieved the Worker Bees, and after enjoying his extravagant panel display, walked outside.

Now Baiyi's panel, it didn't resemble the heights any profession could achieve; it could only be said that a BOSS was indeed a BOSS.

It was only Silver Middle Tier, yet some attributes had already reached the level of Golden Lower Tier, and with aura partitioning, it felt quite satisfying.
