Chapter 1261

"Speak, what are you here for?"

Reid sat on the forging furnace. He originally lived in a pitch-black, closed tomb. For him, Reincarnation Paradise could already be called heaven. More importantly, there were infinite possibilities here.

Precisely because of this, when Reid met Su Xiao, he only showed anger and did not have emotions like resentment.

"Repair some equipment."

Su Xiao took out equipment like the King's Royal Armguards and Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. As for firearms like the Duke of Extinction, Reid couldn't repair these things. Repairing equipment wasn't as simple as throwing it into a furnace and hitting it a few times. If the Duke of Extinction was damaged, it was more reliable to find the mechanical girl to repair it. As for blades, it was clear that Reid, who was good at forging, was stronger.

Reid took the sheathed Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The long blade was drawn. Seeing the bright blade edge, Reid nodded. This blade had clearly been carefully maintained for a long time. What he had to do was to check the tiny, negligible marks on the blade edge and repair them.

"A total of 75,800 Paradise Coins."

Reid directly quoted an astronomical price. If repaired elsewhere, the cost would be at most around 6,000 Paradise Coins. Reid wasn't ripping Su Xiao off; he had a near-paranoid pursuit of forging. In his cognition, either don't do it, or do it to perfection.

Su Xiao didn't trade Paradise Coins to Reid, but took out the 【Medal of Reid】. Seeing the Medal of Reid, Brother Reid felt terrible; an intuition of being sold surged into his heart.

"You hunters really are the 'biological sons' of the Paradise."

Reid puffed two streams of white air from his nostrils. Hearing the word "hunter" from his mouth, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed.

"Rest assured, I am not that kind of contractor who knows nothing. I am now a forging master certified by Reincarnation Paradise. If hunters are a force of violence, then I am logistics. Forgers, adjudicators, and hunters are not hostile to each other."

Reid turned on the S-tier furnace and began to use the microscopic device on it to check the edge of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

Su Xiao didn't receive a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, which meant that what Reid said was indeed true. The other party had the right to know about hunter-related matters, just as he knew what a forger was.

"The past is the past. I am a rough person; I won't thank you for sending me here. You should have already received the reward you deserve. Judging from the current situation, we need to cooperate for a long time."

Reid made a mark on the edge of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. There was a nearly invisible chip here. Although Su Xiao often maintained Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, he was not proficient in forging. As for the repair of the Divine Yu Hui scabbard, the Divine Yu Hui was only dark purple equipment, and its repair ability was limited.

"Indeed, compared to being hostile to each other, cooperation is the wisest choice."

Su Xiao found a place in the shop and sat down.

"It won't be long before I can truly come alive in the real sense."

Reid smiled, his laughter harsh and unpleasant. This guy was not a good person. When he was in the Shea world, he once snatched the beloved queen of a certain king and did "hey hey hey" with that queen in the king's palace. This guy had done all these wicked things, and the number of living beings he had killed was also an astonishing number.

"You can use that medal to find me for free forging or repairs. This kind of one-sided exploitation does not conform to long-term dealings."

Reid finally said what he wanted to say.

"I will sell the rare metals and minerals I obtain to you at 80% of the market price."

"60%."

"80%."

"70%."

After some bargaining, Su Xiao and Reid finally determined the price at 75%. That is to say, Reid could prioritize purchasing rare metals, minerals, and forging materials from Su Xiao at 75% of the price.

It seems Su Xiao is losing out, but in reality, it is not so. A single precise equipment repair costs tens of thousands of Paradise Coins. If one goes to those ordinary forgers to repair Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, it is indeed hard to see anything in the short term, but in the long run, the attack power, sharpness, and durability of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan will all decrease, and it will become increasingly serious.

Reid is different. He observes the situation of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan in micron units and repairs it according to the quality and overall structure of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

If calculated this way, Su Xiao will not lose Paradise Coins, he just won't be able to take advantage. A person like Reid would simply not endure long-term exploitation. Exploiting small gains in the beginning would cause Su Xiao to establish an enemy that could not be eliminated in the future.

Reid doesn't need to enter derived worlds, but Su Xiao has to. If Reid used forging as a benefit to hire a large number of contractors, it is not impossible to drag Su Xiao to death. Of course, while dragging Su Xiao to death, Reid would also have to pay an unbearable price.

Su Xiao either gives up on Reid, this forging master, or even a future forging grandmaster, or reaches a long-term cooperative relationship with the other party. Obviously, the latter is far more visionary than the former.

Forging a piece of legendary-tier equipment, the labor cost of the forger alone could drop most people's jaws. Moreover, Su Xiao does not believe that legendary-tier equipment is the highest quality equipment in Reincarnation Paradise. Future forging costs and equipment repair costs will only get higher and higher, and Reid's role will become greater and greater.

"Then, wish us a happy cooperation in the future?"

Reid spoke without raising his head. This is a villain, and coincidentally, so is Su Xiao. It is easier for villains to find common interests between them.

The reason Su Xiao values Reid is because of the other party's forging technology and that S-tier forging furnace with a shocking price. And Reid cooperates with Su Xiao because of Su Xiao's identity as a hunter, as well as the information channels and material acquisition channels Su Xiao brings him.

"With your forging level, you could completely become an honored guest of some large adventure group."

"Do you think I would submit to others?"

Reid sneered. He wasn't sneering at Su Xiao, but at those contractors who wanted to win him over.

"If you don't want to submit to others, with your forging level, you must first get to know five chambers of commerce: the Black Sail Chamber of Commerce, a group of black merchants who use unscrupulous means to do business and have huge funds; the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce, a group of idiots, but it cannot be denied that their item acquisition channels are very wide; the Blue Chamber of Commerce, a standard chamber of commerce with stable trading channels... If you want to be successful in Reincarnation Paradise and not submit to others, you must at least have dealings with these five chambers of commerce."

Su Xiao's words made Reid stop his work.

"Do you have channels to get to know these chambers of commerce?"

"Of course."

"Cooperating with you... seems to be a very wise choice."

Reid continued to check Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, checking more carefully. Su Xiao provided Reid with the contact channels for those chambers of commerce; he was the guarantor.

Six hours later, Su Xiao left Reid's shop. The two sides had transformed from potential enemies into long-term collaborators.

Su Xiao's fingers brushed over the blade of Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. The blade was clearly much brighter than before.

The strength improvement was completed, and Reid's side was also handled. Su Xiao headed straight for the arena. He wanted to fight his way to the top of the arena within the remaining stay time. If he couldn't reach the top of the Third Tier arena this time, he wouldn't have such an opportunity in the future.

Su Xiao wanted to verify whether he had become the strongest within the Third Tier. When he was in the First and Second Tiers, Su Xiao didn't have the chance to reach the top of the arena, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't reach it at all. He was developing four attributes in a balanced way, and his initial development speed was a bit slow.

Now, the benefits of developing four attributes simultaneously were reflected.

Su Xiao, walking toward the arena, had an increasingly sharp aura. But after entering the arena for an hour, he leaned on the sofa in the lounge and yawned.

There were only ten opponents he could match with. Competitors ranked below him couldn't be matched with him at all; his winning streak was simply too high.

The top ten certainly couldn't avoid fighting, but after receiving the arena's matching prompt, they could choose to delay the matching by two hours. Obviously, the tenth place Su Xiao was about to match with chose to delay by two hours. The meaning was clearly to give Su Xiao a warning.

One could imagine what Su Xiao, who had waited for a full two hours, would do during the competition.
