Chapter 2077: Transaction

The cold air dissipated, and the water droplets condensed on the walls of the test tube slid down. A bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine had been successfully concocted.

Sealing the bottle mouth with a cork, Su Xiao stored the last bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine into the team storage space. The supplies were now well-prepared, and the time limit for his stay in Reincarnation Paradise was about to be reached.

Su Xiao exercised his still-aching arms. This was the drawback of training on the fifth floor of the Land of All Living Things; it left him very fatigued, but it was worth it. Among the self-developed sword arts, apart from Blade Dao Sword: Demon Blade, all other abilities had been perfected.

As for Blade Dao Sword: Demon Blade, it was actually an improved version of Zhan Long Shan: Demon Blade, with faster speed and a higher chance of hitting the enemy.

Su Xiao waited quietly to return to the real world. Soon, the sensation of teleportation appeared.

Bang~

It was still the familiar feeling of a "blackjack blow." When Su Xiao's consciousness recovered, he was already in the living room on the second floor of the accessory shop.

Come to think of it, the "blackjack teleportation" he had always experienced, while not a pleasant experience, was extremely safe.

Conversely, teleportation while fully conscious either started with him being imprisoned or involved being assassinated on the way back; there was never a good outcome.

Su Xiao habitually checked the security mechanisms in the living room; there were no abnormalities.

He opened the window for ventilation. The afternoon weather was somewhat overcast, and a cool breeze blew in through the window; it was clearly going to rain heavily soon.

Every time he returned to the real world, Su Xiao didn't actually have anything important to do. He had no attachments like family in the real world, but strangely, if he didn't return here, he would feel significantly uncomfortable.

Every time Su Xiao returned to the real world after slaughtering in a mission world, he would feel an inexplicable sense of relaxation. Perhaps that was precisely why Reincarnation Paradise teleported contractors back.

Bang bang bang...

A knocking sound came from downstairs. Without opening the door, Su Xiao knew who it was: the brain-hole girl, Li Murui. She was the shameless girl who had shouted "Daddy" in the trading market. After this girl was scared off by the Reincarnation Paradise prompt last time, the cooldown of her "fear" ended quickly, and she ran back again.

"Open the door! I know you're all inside. Don't ignore me."

Outside the shop door, Li Murui, dressed in white sportswear, was looking around. Judging by her expression, she was clearly guarding against being followed. In reality, this girl was overthinking it; apart from her, no contractor dared to come to this area.

As soon as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang opened the rolling shutter door, Li Murui's eyes lit up.

"I've discovered a very interesting place."

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was clearly interested.

"Let's go... explore."

Li Murui gave an "insidious" laugh. Clearly, she wanted to explore places like haunted houses. Before becoming a contractor, she was very interested in such places, but she was too timid. Now that she was a contractor, her courage had multiplied.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face stiffened, and it lay back down on the sofa. The meaning was already very clear: 'It doesn't play with fools.'

"Come on, I don't dare to go by myself."

"Woof! (Get lost)."

After being ruthlessly rejected by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Li Murui secretly looked at Su Xiao. Seeing Su Xiao concocting something, her expression stiffened, and she strategically retreated with the excuse of "having other things to do."

Su Xiao put down the potion he had finished concocting. Clearly, the little white rabbit had learned to be smart; after all, she had the lesson of the "Unknown Eyeball" beforehand.

A calm and comfortable real-life existence began. Su Xiao spent most of his time resting, using this to recover from the previous physical exhaustion and prepare for the upcoming new world.

When Su Xiao's state was fully recovered, the stay time in the real world reached its limit.

【The Hunter has returned to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【A new world is about to open. Please prepare, Hunter.】

The teleportation sensation faded. In most cases, the new world would open after an hour. Just as Su Xiao was preparing to leave his exclusive room to take a stroll in the trading market, the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared again.

【Prompt: Detected that the Hunter has traded with "Employee No. 15053" multiple times (over 100 times).】

【Employee No. 15053 is currently in an extremely special situation. Due to her talent ability, 17 natural days ago, she was selected as a "Space-Time Power Transaction" diplomat.】

【This transaction has been interrupted. Trading party: Holy Light Paradise.】

【In this transaction, 3 Hunters and 58 contractors were killed in action. Diplomat "Employee No. 15053" is currently in a surviving state and is carrying 10,850 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【A rescue mission is about to be issued. The Hunter must bring back the "10,850 ounces of Space-Time Power." If possible, you may also bring back Employee No. 15053.】

【Location of Employee No. 15053: Wizard Continent. The "World Core" belonging to this world has been collected by the Void Tree, making it a "Fully Open Native World."】

【Fully Open Native World: Contractors from any Paradise can enter it, activate missions, obtain treasures, etc., gain World Origin, and trigger missions.】

【Warning: There is a large number of rule-breakers (over 500) in this world.】

Seeing the Reincarnation Paradise prompt, Su Xiao, with a cigarette clamped between his fingertips, let out a dry cough.

"No. 15053, an employee?"

Su Xiao was clearly stunned for a moment, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side was also dumbfounded.

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face seemed to have the word "confused" written on it, because Xia's number was exactly 15053, and she was indeed an employee.

Su Xiao organized his thoughts. The information provided by Reincarnation Paradise was massive. First, the beginning of everything was the transaction between Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Light Paradise.

Although Holy Light Paradise and Reincarnation Paradise had gone to war before, that belonged to normal resource plundering. After all, before that, the Reincarnation Paradise side had been hammering the Holy Light Paradise side into the ground for a long time.

After the last World Contention, Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Light Paradise reached a deal. Reincarnation Paradise provided Space-Time Power; after all, Reincarnation Paradise often won World Contentions, so in terms of Space-Time Power, it was absolutely the richest of the rich.

Looking at Holy Light Paradise, there were many healing-type contractors there, and beauty pageants were fine, but if it came to a contractor brawl, they were only slightly stronger than Apocalypse Paradise. Going 1v1 with Reincarnation Paradise would really lead to depression.

Reincarnation Paradise, on the other hand, lacked resources other than Space-Time Power. After all, the contractors under its command had little productivity, and they couldn't just go and rob everything. If they did that, the contractors on the Reincarnation Paradise side would have no time to grow.

And in this transaction, Xia was chosen as the little diplomat angel. Given Xia's temperament, this wasn't strange. After all, there were many Hunters and contractors escorting her. She was the representative of beauty and was only responsible for two things: "cooking daily" and "cooking during negotiations," using her powerful culinary skills to ease the atmosphere.

Clearly, Xia had a protection mechanism and was a key protection target for the Reincarnation Paradise side. It was highly probable that even threatening words directed at her would be met with warnings from Reincarnation Paradise.

And because of Xia's status as an employee, the possibility of her swallowing the Space-Time Power alone was minimal. She wouldn't be like a contractor who might carry the Space-Time Power and defect to the enemy. Moreover, given Xia's combat power, she didn't have that ability.

The two trading parties should have already met, but for some reason, apart from Xia, most of the Hunters and contractors had died in battle. The Holy Light Paradise side shouldn't be having an easy time either.

As for the reason, it was temporarily unknown. Although Reincarnation Paradise issued a rescue mission, the mission content was probably that the Space-Time Power must be brought back, while Employee No. 15053, which was Xia, was entirely up to Su Xiao's mood.

Regarding this transaction, Su Xiao had many doubts. Did the transaction between Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Light Paradise really require contractors from each side to meet? Or was it restricted by some kind of regulation, forcing them to trade in this way? And it had to be in a Fully Open Native World.

However, regarding the Fully Open Native World point, Su Xiao could figure it out. Most native worlds were in a plundering state. Rashly allowing contractors from other Paradises to enter their own world could potentially trigger serious consequences.

Reincarnation Paradise giving this mission to Su Xiao actually maximized Xia's survival rate. Su Xiao often went to Xia's restaurant to eat, so there were multiple transaction records, which was one of the reasons he activated this mission.

As for the location of the Space-Time Power transaction, that was even more interesting: Fully Open Native World: Wizard Continent. This was the first time Su Xiao had come into contact with such a world.

The Wizard Continent had three characteristics: first, contractors from all Paradises could potentially enter this world, provided they could randomly draw it; second, the core of this world belonged to the Void Tree; third, there was a large number of rule-breakers in this world.

To put it another way, a Fully Open Native World was the nest of rule-breakers. ===== CHAPTER 2078 =====
