Chapter 1598

It was half an hour later when Su Xiao left the headquarters of the God Emperor Adventure Group. He had inquired with God Emperor about the movements of the Blood Gate Adventure Group.

God Emperor naturally knew about the grudge between Su Xiao and Stan. The origin of the grudge was very simple: Su Xiao slaughtered a Dark Horse-level member of the Blood Gate Adventure Group. As the leader of a large adventure group, Blood Gate naturally couldn't sit idly by. There were two ways to handle it at the time: one was to send someone to eliminate Su Xiao, and the other was to have Su Xiao pay a large amount of benefits to Blood Gate.

Obviously, the people from Blood Gate couldn't track Su Xiao, and Su Xiao didn't pay any benefits to Blood Gate, so the two sides became enemies. At this time, although the two sides were enemies, they hadn't reached the level of mortal enemies.

Stan wanted fame, so he was only hostile to Su Xiao on the surface. In reality, he didn't want to waste too many resources on Su Xiao. At most, he just wanted outsiders to know that people from their Blood Gate couldn't be killed just like that—that was all.

What Su Xiao could never understand was that the people from Blood Gate actually tracked his trail and tried to eliminate him in the Holy Grail World.

This puzzled Su Xiao. According to his understanding, although Stan was iron-blooded and cruel, he wouldn't put on an attitude of "I am the only one in heaven and earth." During their few conversations, at most, they would verbally wish each other dead, and they didn't even use profanity. If one looked only at their expressions, one would mistake them for old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Yet, it was such a Stan who spent a huge amount of money to send Huang Fen to the Holy Grail World to hunt down Su Xiao. Not only could Su Xiao not understand it, but God Emperor, who heard about this, was also very surprised. He and Stan were old rivals; this kind of thing didn't look like Stan's style at all.

Before Stan sent someone to the Holy Grail World to hunt down Su Xiao, the two sides were at most hostile. As time passed, this kind of thing would likely fade away and eventually be left unsettled. Su Xiao wouldn't move against a large adventure group just because of a few verbal threats; that was a thankless task.

But the situation was different now. There were only two results: either Su Xiao would bring down Blood Gate, or Blood Gate would eliminate Su Xiao. There were no other choices.

Although Su Xiao couldn't figure out why Stan had made such a decision at the time, judging from the situation of the Blood Gate Adventure Group, the act of sending someone to hunt down Su Xiao might not even have been Stan's own order. At least Su Xiao didn't think Stan would make such a decision.

Regardless, a mortal feud had been forged. Neither Su Xiao nor Stan were the type of people who could talk things out, so they had to decide who would live and who would die. This was the style of the Reincarnation Paradise: take life and death lightly, and if you're not convinced, just fight. Stan was nine times out of ten not the type of person who was afraid of death.

Right now, Su Xiao clearly had the ability to confront the Blood Gate Adventure Group head-on. Of course, he wouldn't challenge an adventure group alone, but Su Xiao didn't believe that those people in Blood Gate would always stick together.

While deep in thought, Su Xiao arrived at the trading market. Contractors were walking between stalls one after another. Not long after, Bubu Wang, Amu, and Benny all arrived at the trading market. After Su Xiao met up with them at the central flower bed of the trading market, they each took charge of one direction and began looking for something in the trading market.

The area of the trading market was huge. If it were only Su Xiao, he might have to spend the whole morning here to check all the stalls.

Walking in front of the stalls, the items on the stalls were varied. Occasionally, one could see loose pieces of gold sets. As for Legend-grade, they were relatively rare in the trading market, and Epic-grade had never been seen at all. Equipment of that grade didn't need to be sold in the trading market at all.

Su Xiao had been shopping for two full hours and still hadn't found what he wanted. Fortunately, good news came from Benny's side.

"How much did the other party offer?"

Su Xiao contacted Benny through the team channel. The information Benny sent back was 100,000 Paradise Coins.

"Tell him, final price, 70,000 Paradise Coins."

After waiting for a moment, Su Xiao found an extra item in the team storage space. Things were going smoothly. He lifted his feet and walked toward the outside of the trading market, heading straight for the exclusive room.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao came to the relatively spacious sword training room. He activated the usage permission for the equipment disassembly/reshaping/synthesis machine he had obtained earlier.

Spatial fluctuations appeared, and a machine resembling a truck engine appeared. This thing was two meters high and nearly five meters long, and steam was still coming out of the chimney above.

The sound of a large number of gears turning and rubbing came. Su Xiao had some understanding of precision machinery, but after seeing this equipment disassembly/reshaping/synthesis machine, he could be sure that he couldn't even take this thing apart; it was simply too complex.

【You have activated the usage permission for the equipment disassembly/reshaping/synthesis machine. Remaining time: 29 minutes 57 seconds.】

Time was precious. Su Xiao pressed one hand on the equipment disassembly/reshaping/synthesis machine, and a virtual panel popped up.

【Please select the required function: Disassemble/Reshape/Synthesize.】

After Su Xiao chose synthesis, the appearance of the machine in front of him changed. Those gears all retracted into the machine body, and the entire machine looked like a Transformer, changing its appearance in less than five seconds.

Only to see a hole in the center of the equipment synthesis machine, about the size of a washbasin, with red light shining from inside the hole. On the left and right sides of the hole, there were two relatively smaller holes, and blue light shone from these two holes.

Su Xiao took out the Apostle's Eye and placed it into the center hole. The Apostle's Eye floated into mid-air within the red light, and more than a dozen energy threads linked to the Apostle's Eye.

【Main equipment has been selected. Please add at least 2 pieces of auxiliary equipment.】

The equipment synthesis machine had two parts: main equipment and auxiliary equipment. The main equipment influenced the type of equipment synthesized in the end, and the auxiliary equipment influenced the quality. If both were the same type of equipment, then the synthesis result would definitely be that type of equipment.

Su Xiao put the 11 pieces of detection-type equipment into the holes on both sides. After doing all this, he activated the equipment synthesis machine.

Boom!

An energy pulse surged over. Su Xiao, who was unprepared, took half a step back. The next moment, a large number of equipment fragments splattered.

Hum~

The equipment in the auxiliary equipment slots was completely shattered, and the red light on the main equipment, the Apostle's Eye, flared up.

【Notice: Equipment synthesis will end in 13 minutes 27 seconds.】

The synthesis time wasn't long, but this also meant that the equipment synthesis machine could only be used twice.

The ten-plus minutes passed in a flash. The cooled Apostle's Eye popped out of the equipment synthesis machine. Su Xiao caught it with one hand while checking its attributes.
