Chapter 294: Unexpected Joy

Attributes and ability strengthening complete, Su Xiao prepared to head to the trading market to sell the 【Mental Shock】 scroll.

Although this scroll wasn't perfect and had risks in usage, its power was extremely strong; Su Xiao had experienced it personally.

"Xiang Bubu, let's go..."

Su Xiao was just about to step out of the exclusive room when his expression suddenly stiffened.

In the living room of the exclusive room, a pile of cotton wool was scattered on the ground, the sofa had been bitten into a large hole, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had disappeared.

Looking closely, a dog head appeared in the center of the sofa!

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had first bitten a hole in the sofa, then burrowed into it, and then bitten another hole from the inside, exposing its head while hiding its body inside the sofa.

The 15-Paradise-Coin sofa was sacrificed, but Su Xiao didn't reprimand Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's energy was usually too vigorous.

"Looks like I need to buy some chew sticks. No, dumbbells would be more effective."

Picking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang out of the sofa, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was somewhat reluctant. After tidying up, Su Xiao left the storage space.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's stamina was usually too high. It might have been a bit bored in the exclusive room, so gnawing on things was normal.

Before heading to the trading market, Su Xiao came to a shop opened by an employee, which specialized in selling rations for various animals.

There were many summoner-type professions in the Reincarnation Paradise. If those summoned beasts were too hungry and the contractor's Charisma attribute wasn't high, they would eat their masters, so carrying "rations" was crucial.

Although Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wouldn't eat its master, it couldn't keep gnawing on things. Today it sacrificed the sofa, tomorrow it might be the bed. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could even gnaw on the wall skin; don't underestimate Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's sharp teeth.

Just as he walked into the shop, a female employee in a white coat came up to him.

"Customer, is there anything you need?"

The female employee was holding an orange cat in her arms. The cat was so fat it was out of shape; Su Xiao suspected it was a pig.

"Do you have any food that is more resistant to gnawing, like bones?"

Hearing Su Xiao's inquiry, the female employee put down the orange cat in her hand, looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's color and appearance, and smiled confidently.

"Your beloved dog has a habit of gnawing on furniture, right? The effect of gnawing on dog heads isn't obvious. I have another way."

"What way?"

The female employee smiled at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shivered.

"Neutering."

"Woof~!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a miserable scream, clamped its two hind legs together, and retreated with strange little steps. Clearly, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't want to lose its balls.

"Eh."

Su Xiao looked at the female employee in surprise, then at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Not a bad method."

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with a full face of smiles, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked terrified.

"Then customer, control your..."

Before the female employee finished speaking, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already run far away. Su Xiao didn't stop it; he was just scaring Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"This..."

"You have bones for sale here, right?"

"Yes, we do."

"I need a few dozen pounds, the best kind."

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lose its balls; he was just scaring this idiot dog to prevent it from gnawing on furniture in the future.

He spent 100 Paradise Coins to buy a pile of cooked bones. These bones had plenty of meat on them and had been roasted dry; they were the favorite food of canines.

Walking out of the shop, Su Xiao found Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang waiting for him at the door. Even though it was scared, it hadn't run far. Its dog head was lowered, looking listless.

"Catch."

Su Xiao threw a dog head high into the air. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang jumped three meters high, accurately caught the dog head, shook its head, and ran to Su Xiao's side, very happy.

Only then did Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang know that it wouldn't lose its balls.

Arriving at the trading market, there were significantly more contractors here. The contractors had just returned from the derived world. With the war over, the time for Su Xiao and the contractors to enter the derived world would be adjusted to be consistent.

Spending 10 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao purchased the temporary usage rights for a stall. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay to the side, gnawing on a bone with a crunching sound; it couldn't be more delicious.

Su Xiao took out the 【Mental Shock】 skill scroll, checked the scroll's attributes, and fell into contemplation.

【Mental Shock】

Quality: Purple

Type: Skill Scroll.

Learning Condition: Intelligence 30 points, Stamina 10 points (Due to the Magic-Immune Constitution, the Hunter cannot learn this skill).

Effect: After three seconds of mental concentration, release an extremely strong mental shock, causing a deterrent effect on enemies within 10 meters and dealing Intelligence x 5 damage.

Tip: The cooldown for this skill is one hour.

Tip: Each use of Mental Shock consumes 200 Mana.

Rating: 120 (Note: Purple item ratings are from 71 to 150.)

Introduction: This is a secret technique of the Kara people. Use Mental Shock with high caution; if used improperly, it will cause serious damage to the brain.

The power of Mental Shock could not be underestimated, but the Mana consumption was also astonishing. After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao priced 【Mental Shock】 at 100,000 Paradise Coins.

The reason was simple: although this was a purple scroll, the learning and usage conditions were harsh.

The 30-point Intelligence attribute requirement had already discouraged most contractors, and the 200-point Mana consumption was even more shocking. Only a few contractors would buy this thing, so Su Xiao intended to sell it as soon as possible.

Purple light flowed on the Mental Shock scroll, and it didn't take long to attract many contractors to stop.

"Purple scroll! Hurry and notify the boss."

"Friend, how about 70,000 Paradise Coins? The Mana consumption of this skill is too high."

"So items above blue quality are purple; I've learned something new."

More and more contractors gathered. Many were bargaining, and even more were asking about the origin of this skill. The Mental Shock scroll had no place of origin.

Su Xiao sat behind the stall without saying a word. He would never sell it for less than 100,000 Paradise Coins. If it weren't for the high requirements of Mental Shock, he would have priced it at 150,000 directly.

The stall was quickly surrounded. The contractors had just returned from the derived world, and their Paradise Coins were very sufficient.

Half an hour later, a contractor offered 90,000. There was still a gap from the psychological expected price.

After these contractors surrounded it for two hours, the crowd gradually dispersed; after all, it made no sense to keep watching if they couldn't afford it.

Realizing the surrounding contractors had dispersed, Su Xiao put away the tablet and checked the remaining Paradise Coins. There were 1,900 Paradise Coins left, exactly an integer.

There were 13,023 Paradise Coins in total before. A lot was used for healing injuries, and upgrading the Shadow of the Law-Breaker skills also cost more than half. Now, only this much was left.

Sensing the Mana in his body, the Mana had already recovered to full, with a total of 753 points. He was about to start manufacturing 【Intermediate Mental Power Bombs】 for sale.

The materials for 【Intermediate Mental Power Bomb】 required 100 Paradise Coins, and each manufacturing consumed 30 points of Mana. Because Paradise Coins were not very sufficient, Su Xiao could make at most 19, and after selling them, he could continue to manufacture, for a total of 25.

Light flickered in his hand, and one 【Intermediate Mental Power Bomb】 after another was generated in Su Xiao's hand.

For some reason, he felt much easier manufacturing 【Intermediate Mental Power Bombs】 today. Previously, it took about two minutes to manufacture one, but today it only took about forty seconds.

Soon, 19 【Intermediate Mental Power Bombs】 appeared in his hand. Su Xiao had a feeling of wanting more; this feeling of smoothly mobilizing Mana was very cool.

It was like Su Xiao used to drive a minivan, but after possessing the Spirit Shadow Constitution, the minivan was directly upgraded to a Bugatti Veyron, and he couldn't stop speeding.

Holding the 19 【Intermediate Mental Power Bombs】 in his hand, Su Xiao was surprised to find that the volume of the 【Intermediate Mental Power Bomb】 had shrunk a lot, from the original thumb thickness to little finger thickness, about two centimeters long.

Checking the specific attributes, the explosion range of the 【Intermediate Mental Power Bomb】 had increased from five meters to six meters, and the explosion damage had increased from 90 points to 100 points.

The comprehensive ability of the 【Intermediate Mental Power Bomb】 had been improved, making it easier to carry, and both the range and power had increased. This must be related to Su Xiao's special Mana.
