Chapter 1384: The God Who Admits Defeat
The Goddess of Luck took a deep breath. Her initial "fleeing" was not only out of fear of the Extermination Shadow, but because applying luck to an Extermination Shadow was a very difficult thing.
If the difficulty of changing an ordinary person's luck was 1, then the difficulty of wanting to change an Extermination Shadow's luck was at least 100. After an Extermination Shadow became strong to a certain degree, it was even impossible to change their luck. The Goddess of Luck had personally tested this point.
"I hope you keep your promise."
The Goddess of Luck actually wanted to sign a contract or treaty with Su Xiao, but Su Xiao was backed by the Reincarnation Paradise. The difficulty of signing a contract with Su Xiao was no lower than killing Su Xiao himself right now.
According to the development of past situations, the Goddess of Luck would appear with a very high-class attitude, bestow abilities upon the contractor, and then leave gracefully, without taking a single cloud with her.
Right now, it was clearly not the case. She initially wanted to renege on the debt, but was forcibly dragged back by the Reincarnation Paradise.
The light on the Goddess of Luck became more and more dazzling. Golden threads gathered in her hands, and she slowly pushed these golden threads toward Su Xiao.
Su Xiao stared at the golden threads drifting toward him, feeling no sense of crisis.
That group of golden threads sank into Su Xiao's body, and Su Xiao felt nothing special.
"Done."
The Goddess of Luck snapped her fingers, and she disappeared into thin air.
【Hunter has mastered a new skill: Goddess's Affection.】
【Goddess's Affection: lv. 1 (Passive Skill)】
Skill Effect: Luck attribute permanently +1.
Hint: This ability increases by an additional 1 point of Luck attribute for every 10 levels it is raised.
Su Xiao's luck attribute increased from 2 points to 3 points. The sensation when the luck attribute increased was not intense, unlike the intuitive feeling when strength and agility attributes increased.
"Don't think you will be lucky. Your luck is almost negative. This can only make you stop being unlucky. It's a miracle that such luck can live until now..."
The Goddess of Luck's voice came, as if from another layer of space.
In the different space, the Goddess of Luck, wrapped in holy light, stretched.
"Go back to sleep..."
Undoubtedly, the Goddess of Luck was very Buddhist. Among many powerhouses of the same level, she was the most uncontentious one, a typical person who just lived and waited for death. However, as time passed, most of the powerhouses who rose at the same time as her fell, and only she still lived gracefully.
Whether in the Void or in the small world where the Goddess of Luck was, whenever people mentioned her, they would think of four words: uncontentious.
In the single dormitory where Su Xiao was, he lay on the bed, the wounds on his body aching faintly. He would not waste recovery items on wounds that could heal naturally.
Feeling the subtle stinging sensation from the wounds, Su Xiao soon fell into a dream. After this rest, he did not know when the next one would be.
In this World Conquest, he could not take out food or fresh water from the storage space, which made the front-line battlefield more dangerous.
Not knowing how long he slept, Su Xiao heard a harsh alarm sound. He got up from the bed, and just as he pushed open the door, he saw soldiers running past the corridor—they were all members of the Killing Squad.
Su Xiao picked up the black military uniform on the bed. The style of the Killing Squad's military uniform was the same as that of ordinary soldiers. A unique military uniform would only attract more firepower on the battlefield.
Putting on the black military uniform, Su Xiao followed the soldiers in the corridor and rushed toward the prison courtyard.
40 seconds later, including Su Xiao, 176 Killing Squad soldiers stood in a square formation. Skain looked at the pocket watch in his hand.
"Not bad."
Skain closed the pocket watch.
"I am your new commander. Some people might have heard of me..."
Skain did not set three fires upon taking office; this method was not applicable in the army. The meaning he expressed was much simpler and more brutal: if you don't want to die inexplicably on the battlefield, then you had better listen to his orders.
After a simple lecture, 176 Killing Squad soldiers were seated in more than a dozen trucks. As for the destination, it was naturally the battlefield. Skain did not specify the specific location.
In wartime, the Killing Squad was not gathered together like other troops. They would be dispersed into various units, follow these units into the battlefield, and then find opportunities to sneak into enemy camps to assassinate enemy officers or destroy important enemy military facilities.
Su Xiao sat in the cloth shed of the truck. There were 9 other Killing Squad soldiers in the shed. About to go to the battlefield, these people were not nervous at all, and some were even sleeping soundly.
A soldier wearing a black helmet and holding a dagger and a whetstone sat beside Su Xiao. This guy had started sharpening the dagger since he got on the truck. According to him, this dagger was his girlfriend, named Filomina.
Years of killing life made these Killing Squad soldiers have more or less psychological problems. After they retired, most were sent to mountainous areas to enjoy life, trying to keep them away from cities. These guys were proficient in killing, demolition, etc. Putting them in prosperous cities was like placing ticking time bombs. "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden"—it sounded very heartless, but there was no other way.
"Don't touch my hat, you dog-pig hybrid, believe it or not, I'll blow your head off."
"Hahaha."
"Those blue eyes are dog-pig hybrids."
Two soldiers had a dispute. Not only did the other soldiers in the shed not stop them, but they watched the show on the side.
"Dog-pig hybrid blue eyes, although their women are not bad, they are also dog-pig hybrids."
"According to Article 175 of the Geya Alliance Military Law, abusing or insulting enemy female civilians is punishable by 3 months of solitary confinement."
"Saint, you should go home and hold your child to feed milk."
"Feed milk."
"Hahaha."
The soldiers' conversation was illogical, seeming to say whatever came to mind. Su Xiao yawned and did not plan to participate in the conversation.
There was one thing that made Su Xiao very puzzled. Before other Killing Squad soldiers got on the truck, they would be issued their respective weapons, but Su Xiao did not get any weapons. The military supplies officer who issued the weapons just looked at him and waved his hand, signaling him to get on the truck quickly.
It was obviously impossible to let soldiers go to the battlefield "empty-handed." Su Xiao, who did not get standard weapons, thought of one point: his weapons were somewhat special and were not issued uniformly.
"White Ghost, how was the prison food?"
The soldier named Saint spoke. He called Su Xiao White Ghost. Su Xiao thought of the code name Kukulin Bai Ye and easily guessed that White Ghost was calling him. This should be the name other Killing Squad members called him.
"Two dishes and one soup, there are women next door."
"I didn't expect White Ghost to brag too."
"White Ghost is rarely humorous once, let's cooperate."
Saint smiled. The expression was: laugh, what are you stunned for?
"Saint, your flattery is too obvious," a burly man with a beard spoke. As he spoke, he stretched out his fist to Su Xiao: "I am Bone Crusher. We met in the Sen-Shan war zone. Take care of me on the battlefield."
Su Xiao bumped fists with the burly man codenamed Bone Crusher and nodded to signal.
"Call me Blind Mountain."
"I am Scout Dog."
"Earth."
The nine Killing Squad members in the same shed all greeted Su Xiao, which made Su Xiao quite surprised. These people should not be members of his previous squad, and judging by their tone, they seemed to want to... get close to him?
Noticing the attitude of these people, Su Xiao had already guessed what duty he was serving in this squad. It was one of the things he was best at: sniper. Having a sniper to look after them would definitely increase the survival rate on the battlefield full of gunfire. ===== CHAPTER 1385 =====
