Chapter 228: Crazy Tao Baibai (3k Fourth Update)

"Oh?"

Bai Cangshu put away the two Scarlet Drop Cards.

Mai instinctively took a step back; the opponent's terrifying speed left him with lingering fear.

Although theoretically, Instant Movement is the fastest form of travel, the activation of the ability requires one to be able to react in time. Facing a Martial Artist who could perform High-speed Movement capable of deceiving the eyes purely through physical techniques, one could never be too careful.

He realized that his words had revealed he knew the opponent's identity, which often represented a threat in conversations between Reincarnators; Mai immediately explained.

"I posted a quote on your Stall in the space, so I saw your serial number. After you fought me two days ago, I discovered it was the same number, so..."

"But I didn't tell Jin Laoda and the others about your identity."

Mai had an innocent appearance; he had a youthful air, short, slightly yellowed hair, and a body that wasn't robust, merely healthy. However, because he was an Ability User, his physical strength was not necessarily what it appeared to the naked eye.

Many Ability Users have higher muscle density than ordinary people.

In fact, once Mai realized the opponent was the infamous "Tao Baibai" in the space, he had already abandoned the idea of being his enemy. Even the Flame Demon had been killed; for his group to go and provoke the opponent would be no different from seeking death.

Compared to a guy like Jin Laoda, Mai was more willing to join Tao Baibai's command.

Rumor had it that the opponent was still a lone wolf; if he could form a team with Tao Baibai, the benefits to himself would inevitably be immense.

Mai heard that quite a few Title-level guys in the space were already eyeing Tao Baibai; "Dead Silence Fate" was said to be attempting to make contact with Tao Baibai, wanting to bring him into their fold.

Bai Cangshu did not tilt his head, instead sizing up Mai. The opponent's reaction speed, strength, and defense were not particularly strong; his entire repertoire of skills was basically concentrated on that special Instant Movement ability.

But among Reincarnators, there has always existed a group with great contingency; someone lucky enough to obtain a powerful ability can dominate with a single trick and rise rapidly—this is nothing new.

An ability like Instant Movement is quite useful at low to mid-power levels, but...

Bai Cangshu looked down at his left hand, and then the tyrannical killing intent in his heart erupted, along with his disappointment at the weakness of these few Reincarnators.

Like a seed, it suddenly cracked open in Bai Cangshu's heart, then erupted with a boom.

A powerful aura swept out in all directions in an instant like a hurricane.

Mai, who was focusing all his attention on Tao Baibai's movements, suddenly felt his pupils constrict. The intense aura was like a vast ocean, drowning him in an instant; he could barely breathe amidst that surging aura.

He felt every inch of skin on his body suffering from a tangible impact; his hair stood on end, and his mind trembled.

Could this feeling be... Conqueror's Haki?!

The next moment, an imperceptible sound of breaking air struck. His heart turned icy cold, his scalp felt as if it were being torn apart by fear, and he suddenly opened his mouth to shout.

"I know the location of the teleportation point arranged by the End Empire!"

Pfft~

Bai Cangshu's hand-blade stopped an inch in front of Mai's chest. The intense Force and Killing Intent Wave pierced a wound into his chest, and blood slowly flowed out.

That stinging pain brought Mai back to his senses. His body trembled twice, and he flickered seven or eight times in an instant before finally calming down.

Mai's heart was beating violently, his legs felt weak, and he couldn't breathe just by recalling that feeling of death looming over him.

He was afraid. He suddenly lost the urge to join Tao Baibai's command; he even wanted to run away immediately, to flee far away, to leave Myanmar, to return to Dongxia or go to Baixiang—anywhere at all, as long as there was no possibility of encountering this guy Tao Baibai...

Just a moment of distraction, and he had almost been killed instantly on the spot.

Ha... so in Tao Baibai's eyes, there was simply no difference between him and Jin Laoda, Muni, and Black River.

Beneath his seemingly kind and reserved appearance, Mai was actually quite conceited. He looked down on Jin Laoda and the others because, ever since awakening this superpower, he had never encountered truly fatal danger.

He only needed to constantly replenish various shields to avoid being killed in a first encounter; with his ability, it was not difficult to escape.

He had even planned out his future ability development trajectory. As long as he found some specific curses or abilities similar to "Idle Death Transfiguration," utilizing his super-mobility, killing other Reincarnators instantly would not be difficult. The only thing he needed to be careful of were those casters whose Spirit exceeded the Extreme Value.

But he was also prepared; he himself was also about to touch the Spirit Extreme Value, and his immunity to spiritual attacks was relatively high...

Because he had brushed shoulders with death, Mai's thoughts drifted uncontrollably.

Whoosh.

A figure appeared instantly fifty meters behind him, and Mai's nerves tensed up again.

Bai Cangshu opened his hands with a smile, the purple Killing Intent Wave on his hands slowly dissipating.

"You know, if you run away now, I will definitely find a way to hunt you down. I think that among low-tier Reincarnators, a Reincarnator possessing mind control and Instant Movement abilities is considered to have a certain degree of recognizability; I don't think Information Brokers would refuse my order."

Bai Cangshu's tone was calm, as if catching up with an old friend, but Mai's mind was extremely tense.

He indeed did not use Instant Movement to escape again.

Mai was indeed afraid. A person's name is like the shadow of a tree; he dared not gamble his life on whether Tao Baibai could find him.

Bai Cangshu nodded. Although this Reincarnator before him likely relied on good luck to awaken a rare superpower, he did indeed possess a bit of quick wit—whether it was using hand seals to lure his attack and then using Instant Movement to escape during the previous fight, or this time, being able to throw out information that could actually make him stop while on the verge of life and death.

【Attention, serial number ex051, you will initiate a new round of space projection in 1 hour. Please confirm the safety of the surrounding environment in advance.】

At this moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly saw the space prompt appear; his own new round of missions was about to begin.

This is the Shuming that the group of Reincarnators cannot escape. It is precisely because of this point that Bai Cangshu feels the so-called "End Empire" is just a joke.

Who knows when the mission intensity will rise sharply? Then, there would be no need for other countries to respond; this group of Transcendental beings would die in mission worlds no one knows about.

"Speak, where is that teleportation location?"

Mai's mind was tense, ready at any moment to resist the impact of Conqueror's Haki and use Instant Movement to escape.

He couldn't care about being perfunctory; at this moment, he wished he would never have any intersection with Tao Baibai again.

"I saw the contact Jin Laoda received. That group will open a large-scale teleportation array at the border of Dongxia and Myanmar in seven days, letting all Reincarnators who want to go prepare their resources and go together."

"However, there should be Reincarnators maintaining order in that place; perhaps... it's a Title-level."

Afterward, Mai stared fixedly at Bai Cangshu, wrote a coordinate on the ground with his left hand, and then slowly retreated. Seeing that Bai Cangshu did not stop him, he disappeared instantly. After a few instances of Instant Movement, he completely left Bai Cangshu's range of perception.

"Are you alright, Bai Laoda!"

Lin Qinfu, who was leaning on a cane but still insisted on following behind the guards, asked this of Bai Cangshu as he walked out of the forest. Du Enqin sensibly lowered her head and handed over a white towel.

Bai Cangshu wiped his hands and threw it back at the woman.

Lin Qinfu wished he could slap himself; how could Bai Fengzi possibly be "alright"? He was saying things that had no "use" again.

He was also gradually grasping some of Bai Fengzi's "habits." This was a monster who was rational to the point of coldness; he did not need sycophancy, but he needed to see everyone's value and utility.

If someone lost their utility, then they also lost their value of existence.

This woman named Du Enqin was quite clever; even though her attempt at seduction failed, she still remembered small things like handing over a towel.

Bai Cangshu returned to the manor, looked at the collapsed wooden building, and said to Lin Qinfu.

"Let's find a new base."

As the Paradise project steadily advanced, this manor in the mountains and forests was far from the future center of Paradise, making it inconvenient for Bai Cangshu to hunt for prey.

He simply abandoned this place altogether.

After temporarily checking into a hotel under Du Enqin's banner, Bai Cangshu returned to the Public Space from his room.

He still had enough time to stay in the Public Space for the moment.

Bai Cangshu prepared to complete a new round of strengthening and resource liquidation for himself before the start of the next mission.

His completion rate for the Main Mission of his last mission was too low, so he figured the difficulty of the next mission would decrease accordingly; within the space's evaluation system, every Reincarnator had a hidden evaluation system.

If you achieve a higher completion rate, the next mission world and mission difficulty will both be higher; if you continue to complete them, even higher difficulties will be deployed.

In worlds and missions of higher difficulty, the rewards obtained are higher, but the risk of death also becomes greater.

It is precisely because of this system that Reincarnators find the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker.

【ga99954770 (Crazy Potter) sent a message: Introduced by Luo Xi? I'm at Stall 77 in Zone B. Think it over, my asking price is very high.】

This was a Reincarnator introduced by Luo Xi, who was said to be able to customize Special Items for others and also possessed a certain level of appraisal ability; they were a Reincarnator of the Magic Side and the occult side.

Bai Cangshu looked at the various quotes on his own Stall, but did not rush to deal with them, going to Zone B first.

The Reincarnator calling themselves Crazy Potter had an Avatar that was equally distinct and exaggerated, with a red afro that was nearly four or five times the size of a normal person's head, visible from far away.

The skin on their body had been turned black, making them very conspicuous among the crowd of Reincarnators.

Combining this with the person's codename, Bai Cangshu could already roughly guess the other party's personality.

Eccentric, bizarre, and with a prominent personality.

Extending from this, he could even create a vague portrait of this person's real-world identity traits: they were likely under thirty years old, very possibly a shut-in, liked niche culture, had a large amount of free time, and were likely a student or a freelancer.

Crazy Potter suddenly felt something strange in their heart; they looked up and saw a red, ugly face examining them with great interest.

"Damn, stop staring at me, it's giving me goosebumps."

"Fuck, Luo Xi was right, you're a freak too."
