Chapter 2499: Feel It with Your Heart
The hints given by Reincarnation Paradise were not few. After checking, Su Xiao learned that this world was actually not suitable for acquiring resources.
A world truly rich in resources would have very powerful individuals. Looking at this world, the only ones who could be brought out were the Pernier sisters.
In the battle with the Pernier sisters, as long as Su Xiao didn't make obvious mistakes, the two sisters couldn't kill him in one round. Against these two sisters, Su Xiao didn't even fully open his Green Shadow King ability. The only time the two sisters injured him was by relying on prior arrangements.
Su Xiao was confident in dealing with the Peru King, Red Sand, the God of Growth, etc. On the other hand, the soldiers in this world, over 1,000 were very strong, over 10,000 was best not to provoke, and over 100,000, whoever came to the Seventh Tier would die.
This characteristic destined this world to be unsuitable for trials and resource acquisition. The group combat power was simply too much stronger than individual combat power. This wasn't "rich," but resource-poor, only able to develop group power and make up for quality with quantity.
This resulted in this world being dangerous while having few resources. Imagine a contractor coming to this world to perform a mission; once a war broke out, it would be a dimensionality reduction strike for the contractors. Performing a mission would be out of the question; just surviving would be good.
Therefore, the core of this world was not worth fighting for, but because the core of this world had been sealed for too long, a large amount of space-time power was born.
Although not fighting for the core of this world, the space-time power that was about to condense into a solid entity was still worth fighting for.
Su Xiao didn't know the content of the initial regulations. He only knew one thing: if his side won this time, he would get a lot of benefits, and he would be sitting and waiting for them.
Such good things were, of course, the more the better. What Su Xiao felt a pity about was that the other three paradises didn't let him participate in this resource battle.
Otherwise, as long as he could contact the Sand City, with his status in the Sand City, 220,000 beast cavalry, he could at least mobilize more than 150,000. The Sand City had many of Su Xiao's confidants, Wen Ayuer, Hill, Hanshushi, Haoer Wen—these people were officers who followed Su Xiao to attack the Peru Kingdom. Moreover, the Sand City side would likely not object; the armistice treaty was not a decoration; it was signed by Su Xiao and the Peru King.
Although he couldn't participate in the battle himself, sitting and waiting for benefits was also very good.
"My dear friend, Caesar is one of the adjudicators of this resource battle."
Caesar laughed with wrinkles all over his face, like a blooming chrysanthemum. Obviously, he could also sit and wait for benefits, but he actively participated in this resource battle.
"Caesar, if we win this time, both you and I will benefit, so we must decide the winner 'fairly' within the rules."
"Hehehe, I have been stripped of my adjudicator status three times, my dear friend, can you guess why the previous times?"
Caesar obviously understood. With this guy's greedy nature, he would definitely operate from within.
【Hint: You have completed the main mission · Third Ring.】
【You have obtained Identification Rune (Special Item).】
【Yes/No to return to Reincarnation Paradise immediately? Remaining stay time will have a small increase in the overall rating.】
Su Xiao refused to return. He wanted to wait until the end. Benny went to the Ancient Civilization Continent. Although Benny's treasure-hunting ability wasn't very reliable, that cat-star person rarely promised anything. This time, that cat-star "Young Lady" guaranteed that she would definitely obtain the 【Ancient Mask】.
And Morey hadn't replied on that side. If the other party didn't come again, the contract would cause the other party to suffer heavy losses.
Near the bottomless giant pit, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a giant rock meditating, letting the time pass.
【Warning: The Hunter has reached the stay time limit, the main mission has been completed, and the Hunter will be forcibly returned in 3 minutes.】
Seeing this hint, Su Xiao knew it was time to return, but Morey hadn't come.
【Hint: The contract signed by the Hunter and "Battle Angel 15**27" and "Battle Angel 11**11" has taken effect.】
【Warning: Due to unknown reasons, Battle Angel 15**27 has experienced imprint stripping.】
【Warning: Due to unknown reasons, Battle Angel 11**11 has experienced imprint stripping.】
【You have obtained the stripped imprint, the imprint characteristic is: Death Paradise.】
【You have obtained Death Paradise Imprint x2. This imprint has no characteristics, cannot be used, cannot be sold, cannot be destroyed, cannot be parsed, has high-intensity danger, and has been safely destroyed.】
Seeing this hint, Su Xiao was even more confused. Two Battle Angels breached the contract, why would the other party's imprint be stripped? What was even more inexplicable was that the two should be Battle Angels of Apocalypse Paradise. Even if the imprint was stripped, why would it be stripped out as a Death Paradise imprint with no characteristics?
This feeling reminded Su Xiao of one person: the Mad Doctor.
【About to return to Reincarnation Paradise, transmission starting.】
Su Xiao's body began to become translucent, and soon he left this world.
Within the Peru Kingdom, in a mine cave.
"How about it? My method is not bad, right?"
The Smiling Man scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by Morey's praise.
"Not just not bad, it's simply awesome. Are these ores all ours?"
"60% is yours, 40% is mine."
The Smiling Man patted the metal box under his butt. Wearing a miner's lamp, his face was still stained with some mud.
"No, they are all yours."
Morey was still very jumpy, like a middle-school girl, but in reality, her heart was about to jump out. Just now, her "teammate" used two ownerless imprints from Death Paradise to replace the punishment of the contract. That was a Reincarnation Paradise contract. Not to mention hearing about such a thing, she hadn't even thought about it. Signing a Reincarnation Paradise contract, in her view, except for appointment, there was no other way.
Morey looked very stable, but was actually very panicked. She suddenly believed a little that her teammate was the Gray Gentleman.
"Morey."
The Smiling Man's eyelids drooped, and his face sank. Seeing this scene, Morey almost burst into tears. She was finished, dead, without any hope of living. The Smiling Man was about to reveal his true colors.
"Morey, in your heart... am I a greedy person?"
The Smiling Man sighed, his expression somewhat lonely.
"Eh?"
Morey was stunned. She really wanted to shout: "Big brother, that's not the point. Compared to my little life, I really don't care about these ores!"
"I don't actually have many friends. Sigh—let's go."
The Smiling Man carried two boxes and walked out of the mine cave in a lonely manner.
"Wait, wait."
Morey spoke. She recalled carefully. If the Smiling Man was really the Gray Gentleman, the other party should have silenced her long ago. Why had he been cooperating with her until now? And looking at the current situation, the other party was leaving. If she broke with the other party, would the other party reveal his true colors directly?
Thinking of these, Morey said: "How about we split it fifty-fifty?"
"Good."
The Smiling Man stopped with his back to Morey, his expression eased a lot. In a short while, Morey and the Smiling Man walked out of the underground mine cave, and the two parted ways after saying goodbye.
Morey walked with a calm expression. After walking not far, feeling that she was already out of the Smiling Man's sight, she began to run wildly.
After running wildly for two hours, Morey, who was slightly out of breath, stopped.
"Hahaha, it's simply a miracle."
Morey completely let herself go. Just at this moment, a figure carrying a metal box walked from the front, which made the smile on Morey's face gradually stiffen.
"Are you a Battle Angel of Apocalypse Paradise? Don't be nervous, I am too."
"..."
The water bottle in Morey's hand slipped to the grass. Her mouth opened and closed, and in the end, she didn't say anything.
"Do you want to team up? We can sign a contract, a contract notarized by Apocalypse Paradise. By the way, how should I address you?"
A smiling man walked over and stopped in front of Morey.
"I, I am called Morey."
"Hello Morey, have you heard? Fei Shi has been eliminated. It's really reassuring. I heard it was done by a Hunter from Reincarnation Paradise. Terrifying—"
The man smiled and stopped in front of Morey, looking at Morey with doubt, not knowing why Morey had her current expression.
"Oh, forgot to introduce myself, you can call me Smiling Man."
"..."
Morey didn't speak, a smile uncontrollably appearing on her face.
"Right, you should smile like that. Morey, if you are at a loss, just smile."
"You... why haven't you been hunted?"
Morey asked the doubt in her heart. This was also something she couldn't figure out.
"Shh—"
The Smiling Man put his index finger in front of his mouth, telling Morey to be quiet. He put his hand beside his ear.
"Listen carefully, did you hear it? He is calling you."
"If you want to do it, just do it directly, don't play."
Morey was a bit broken. She wasn't afraid of death, but the things she was experiencing now were more chilling than death.
"Don't talk, listen carefully, feel it with your heart."
The Smiling Man held Morey's beating heart, fresh blood dripping through his fingers. This was really feeling it with the heart.
What was wonderful was that Morey didn't die. She didn't even lose 0.1% of her health. At this moment, Morey figured out one thing: the reason why the person beside her hadn't been hunted was because the other party hadn't killed anyone with his own hands, but the number of people who died indirectly in the other party's hands was countless, or rather, the other party might not have fully entered this world. ===== CHAPTER 2500 =====
