Chapter 1453
After leaving the Attribute Enhancement Hall, Su Xiao went straight to a secluded district to find Reid and discuss the matter of forging the pendant.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao left that secluded district, handing the 【Holy Tin Crystal (Rare Material·Legendary)】 to Reid, and not only that, he also gave Reid a small piece of 【Cohesive Crystal】, which was the green crystal he had traded from Old Brother Octopus, and finally left behind 400,000 Paradise Coins.
Su Xiao walked back to his private room, and after handling several matters in succession, he prepared to open the treasure chest in his hand.
Su Xiao planned to sell most of the gains from opening these treasure chesses for Paradise Coins, as he urgently needed Paradise Coins in the near future.
Enhancing swordsmanship, inlaying three legendary gems, upgrading the newly acquired passive ability, mastering the new potion formula—these were all major expenditures of Paradise Coins, and the total amount required was staggering, enough to bankrupt a small adventuring team.
Fortunately, Su Xiao still had more than a dozen unopened treasure chests, and just as the hurried Su Xiao pushed open the door to his private room, the scene before him left him stunned.
Indeed, Su Xiao was stunned, for his private room was now as if hit by a typhoon sweeping through.
Having seen such scenes before, Su Xiao had developed some immunity; the combination of Demolition Office Chief Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Demolition Office Director Am had greatly boosted his heart capacity.
What stunned Su Xiao was that Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang was lying on the carpet snoring loudly, while the Shadow of the Hunt·Beni was actually curled up on Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail, also sleeping soundly!
In the corner, Am had his arms spread wide, as if protecting something; upon seeing Su Xiao return, Am hurriedly waved his hands.
"It's… not me, not me…"
Su Xiao also knew it wasn't its doing; he approached Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and gave the sleeping Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's buttocks a big slipper.
This familiar sensation of impact caused Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang to jolt awake with a start, directly flinging the feline alien Beni out.
Beni rolled several times on the ground, and after overcoming the initial daze, it lunged at Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang.
"Meow!"
"Woof!"
Fur flew everywhere as one cat and one dog tangled into a ball; ten minutes later, Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang and Beni paid out of their own pockets to redecorate the private room, which was restored to tidiness, with no trace of the earlier scene.
This cat and dog are quite interesting—sometimes they bicker, sometimes they get along well; as for the honest ox Am, it has become the dedicated back-pot ox.
Am had previously been protecting that black maple tree, which has now grown to 30 centimeters in height; when Su Xiao tries to meditate, this black maple tree already shows a faint bonus effect.
Because he first came to the Paradise of Reincarnation, Beni quickly ran out to wander about, for this place is too wonderful, making it utterly forget its former jungle, where there was nothing but trees.
This cat is just letting go—no, actually, if it doesn't let go, it will soon disappear anyway; in the Paradise of Reincarnation, it's all like this, and the situation in the derived world can be easily imagined.
Su Xiao seriously suspects that in the derived world, he can only see Beni twice—at the world's beginning and at its end—just these two times.
Sitting at a wooden table, Su Xiao took out one treasure chest after another from his storage space.
【Legendary Treasure Chest (War World Produce) x1.】
【Legendary Treasure Chest (Hot Rainforest Forest Produce) x1.】
【Crimson Treasure Chest x10.】
……
Su Xiao decided to open the Crimson Treasure Chests first; Crimson Treasure Chests differ from Crimson Cards in that they are also a three-choice option, but they allow selection of three items from the deceased's storage space, or a certain skill or equipment of the deceased.
Su Xiao naturally would not choose to randomly draw three items from the storage space; drawing equipment and skills is the safest choice.
After a moment's thought, Su Xiao decided to draw all skills, for the simple reason that skill scrolls sell better and can yield more Paradise Coins.
Am had already opened treasure chests to the point of withdrawal, so the ten Crimson Treasure Chests could only be opened by Su Xiao and Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang; opening skill scrolls involves little luck factor, so he did not use Fate Redemption; as for those two Legendary Treasure Chests, Su Xiao will not open them for now, as he has other plans.
【You obtained 'Dream Spirit' (Active·Skill Scroll).】
【You obtained 'Divine Judgment' (Active·Skill Scroll).】
【You obtained 'Rare Ore Polishing' (Passive·Skill Scroll).】
【You obtained 'Pickaxe Specialization' (Passive·Skill Scroll).】
……
【You obtained 'Dance of Death' (Active·Skill Scroll).】
After opening the chests, Su Xiao obtained ten skill scrolls, began assessing their value, and set prices.
Su Xiao did not go to the trading market to sell these scrolls himself, but instead had Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, Beni, and Am set up a stall at the trading market.
Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang is very experienced in this, often setting up stalls with Su Xiao; the black-robed Am is responsible for disguising as a contractor, while Beni observes prices to prepare for future treasure hunts.
During the few days in the Hot Rainforest Forest, due to unfamiliarity with rare resources, its harvest was quite bizarre; roughly estimated, the total value of all resources it gathered (61 kinds) reached as high as 8 Paradise Coins! Not 80,000, but exactly 8 point……
Although Beni did not find anything valuable, it did indeed go treasure hunting, so Su Xiao doesn't mind; those things, to Beni this cat, are indeed treasures.
Su Xiao hurried to the Skill Enhancement Hall to upgrade the Goddess Favor ability, whose function is simple: every level 10 increase grants a permanent +1 to Luck attribute.
This is also why Su Xiao hasn't opened the Legendary Treasure Chests yet—he is about to become the European Emperor, casting the Black Chief's Halo beyond the ninth heaven; as for whether the Black Chief's Halo is a boomerang and will fly back, that remains unknown, but Su Xiao clearly remembers the Goddess of Luck's earlier sigh:
"Such fortune being able to last until now—miraculous, or perhaps you're growing stronger at an incredible speed? Able to ignore fortune's influence in certain situations?"
Su Xiao doesn't actually hope to become the European Emperor; as long as his luck reaches the level of an ordinary contractor, he can grow stronger at a faster pace.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the Skill Enhancement Hall.
The War World had just ended, and contractors' hands were full of Paradise Coins, so the Skill Enhancement Hall was packed with people; the staff missies responsible for guidance were sweating profusely from being busy.
A bunny girl with a smiling face, yet unable to hide the fatigue in her brows and eyes, approached Su Xiao.
Seeing this bunny girl, Su Xiao recalled having met her once before; her line—'We are this Paradise of Reincarnation's official certification agency; even if I dress like this, I won't provide that kind of service'—left Su Xiao with some impression.
Under the bunny girl's triple attack of cuteness, flesh-selling, and pitifulness, Su Xiao traded 50 Paradise Coins with her; clearly, during their last meeting, the bunny girl saw Su Xiao wasn't too strong, so she didn't think to charge him a tip, after all, surviving in the Paradise of Reincarnation is no easy feat.
This time is different; the bunny girl merely standing beside Su Xiao gives him a sense of palpitation, indicating Su Xiao is strong, which is why she sought to obtain a tip.
After entering the Skill Enhancement Chamber, Su Xiao, the prompt appeared.
【Welcome to the Skill Enhancement Chamber; please select the ability to enhance.】
Su Xiao selected 'Goddess Favor lv. 1', and the prompt appeared again.
【To enhance 'Goddess Favor lv. 1', you need to spend 20,000 Paradise Coins; pay or not?】
Level 1 costs 20,000 Paradise Coins—very expensive, considering Goddess Favor must be raised to lv. 10 to gain any benefit.
