Chapter 26: Growth Potential

Leaving that cold drink shop, Su Xiao walked on the streets of Reincarnation Paradise, lost in thought.

According to the information provided by Xi Luoluo, his priority was to go to the central area of Reincarnation Paradise to understand those dozen or so important buildings.

First familiarize himself with Reincarnation Paradise, then enhance attributes, and after that, consume the Paradise Coins he obtained.

Now he had a total of 8400 Paradise Coins. Originally there were more, but he spent over 3000 Paradise Coins to recover from his injuries, and paid Xi Luoluo 50 Paradise Coins. Now he only had this much.

After preliminary exploration, Su Xiao already understood the value of Paradise Coins.

Ordinary contractors, after experiencing their first Derived World, generally obtained 1000 to 2000 Paradise Coins, only enough to buy one weapon.

And the Derived World he experienced was extremely dangerous, so the number of Paradise Coins he obtained was relatively large, reaching over ten thousand.

Walking on the streets of Reincarnation Paradise, looking at those contractors dressed in different styles, Su Xiao suddenly liked this place somewhat.

Reincarnation Paradise was like a primeval forest, where the cruelty tore off everyone's hypocritical masks, revealing their true selves.

Although it was cruel here, it was simpler.

If there was a grudge, then simply settle it with life and death. The Arena within Reincarnation Paradise was prepared for these people.

Walking for about an hour, Su Xiao arrived at the central area.

Because he didn't cover his appearance, many people cast their gazes toward Su Xiao along the way, but no brain-dead passersby came to provoke him.

Not covering his appearance could mean several possibilities: perhaps he was a newcomer, or perhaps he was an extremely strong monster who didn't bother to cover his appearance at all.

What Su Xiao didn't know was that he currently included both points: he was both a newcomer and a super-strong monster.

The inheritance of Shadow of Law-Extermination allowed him to increase his attributes by a full 14 points.

Obtaining attribute points wasn't easy. Ordinary contractors needed to experience 4 to 6 worlds to barely obtain 14 attribute points, and that was only if they were lucky.

Arriving at the central area of Reincarnation Paradise, a dozen or so magnificent buildings came into view.

Unlike the shops of those Staff Members, these dozen or so buildings were much taller, giving a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

【Attribute Enhancement Hall】, 【Equipment Enhancement Hall】, 【Trial Ground】, 【Arena】...

Su Xiao could only see these four buildings clearly; other buildings were covered by mist, which should be because he didn't have usage authority yet.

Su Xiao walked directly into the 【Attribute Enhancement Hall】. Just as he stepped into the gate, Su Xiao felt his vision blur, and when he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a steel compartment of a few square meters.

"Click, click~."

Mechanical operation sounds came from all around, and a screen appeared before Su Xiao.

【Welcome to use the Attribute Enhancement Chamber. Please pay the activation fee. Activation fee is 100 Paradise Coins.】

He had already understood this situation. Everyone, after stepping into the Attribute Enhancement Hall, would be randomly transmitted to an enhancement chamber, and then they would need to pay to use the enhancement chamber.

Paying 100 Paradise Coins, a prompt appeared on the screen in front of him.

Strength: 12-1 (Equipment bonus temporarily invalid)

Agility: 10

Stamina: 6

Intelligence: 12

Charisma: 3

【Hunter can distribute attribute points by himself. Current attribute points: 4】

【Drip, detected that the Hunter's affinity attributes are Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Please prioritize improving these three attributes.】

Su Xiao wasn't surprised by the prompt given by Reincarnation Paradise.

After inheriting Shadow of Law-Extermination, he received a prompt that when his three affinity attributes reached 20 points, there would be additional changes.

Every contractor would choose affinity attributes, but generally, they chose them themselves. For example, melee-type contractors would choose Strength or Agility, while mages would choose Intelligence, and so on.

Su Xiao's situation was somewhat special. After inheriting Shadow of Law-Extermination, his affinity attributes were already solidified.

And what was extremely painful was that his affinity attributes had a characteristic: the difference between the three attributes could not exceed 3 points; otherwise, the higher attribute could not be improved in the Attribute Enhancement Hall.

This undoubtedly limited Su Xiao's rapid growth. If he only enhanced one attribute, that attribute would soon reach 20 points.

But it wasn't without benefits. While developing multiple attributes, as long as he could keep up with the pace of contractors of the same tier, he would definitely be a top-tier existence in terms of strength.

Su Xiao now had 4 attribute points. After considering for a while, Su Xiao allocated 1 point to Strength and the remaining 3 points to Agility, making his attributes balanced.

【Enhancement starting. Because enhancement will be accompanied by immense pain, do you want to use the anesthesia function? This function is free.】

"Do not activate."

Su Xiao answered decisively. Xi Luoluo had mentioned unintentionally before that when enhancing attributes, it was best not to choose the anesthesia function, as that would affect the enhancement effect.

However, most contractors would choose the anesthesia function because the feeling during attribute enhancement could be described as worse than death.

If you want to be stronger than others, you must endure what ordinary people cannot endure.

The enhancement chamber began to operate gradually, and a severe pain deep into the bone marrow came.

"No wonder others would choose the anesthesia function."

Su Xiao's whole body skin began to turn red gradually, and cold sweat seeped out on his forehead. The feeling during attribute enhancement could be described as quite "enjoyable."

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao, soaked in sweat, walked out of the Attribute Enhancement Hall.

Although the pain during attribute enhancement was incomparable, as long as he endured the initial severe pain, the feeling of gradually becoming stronger afterward was also quite good.

Su Xiao didn't know what others felt, but he liked this feeling very much.

Only the power obtained after experiencing hardship was the most reliable power. He wouldn't choose that so-called anesthesia function—not today, and not in the future.

Actually, Xi Luoluo was just mentioning it casually. Except for a very small number of "perverts," most contractors would choose the anesthesia function.

After enhancing attributes, Su Xiao's naked attributes became Strength 12, Agility 13, Intelligence 12.

If the bonus of 【Wife's Pendant】 was counted, Su Xiao's Strength also reached 13 points, on par with Agility.

Although Su Xiao was much stronger now, he wasn't satisfied.

The suddenly increased attributes made him unable to adapt at all now; even walking was somewhat awkward.

His consciousness couldn't adapt to his now powerful body, which required a large amount of training; there were no shortcuts.

But this wasn't a problem. The 【Trial Ground】 within Reincarnation Paradise was his best choice now.

Glancing at the 【Trial Ground】 in front of him, Su Xiao shook his head.

After leaving the Derived World, he hadn't rested yet. And in the Derived World, he had to be on guard against all kinds of dangers at all times; wanting to rest peacefully was simply impossible.

Activating the brand on his arm, Su Xiao disappeared in place and appeared in the exclusive room. This was a benefit provided by Reincarnation Paradise; as long as he was within Reincarnation Paradise, he could return to the exclusive room at any time.

The comfortable temperature of the exclusive room made Su Xiao start to feel sleepy. Lying on the somewhat soft ground, he had already fallen into deep sleep in less than five minutes.

The long-term mental tension in the Derived World made him unable to hold on any longer. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
