Chapter 297: Picking Treasures (Fourth update, extra update for monthly tickets)

Time passed in a snap of fingers. The five-day stay in the Reincarnation Paradise passed in a flash, and Su Xiao returned to the real world.

Lying in the bathtub, Su Xiao tilted his head and closed his eyes.

This time returning to the real world, he prepared to do something. With his current strength, he could already sneak into "that place."

Picking up the phone on the side, Su Xiao dialed a number. He wanted to confirm the authenticity of something. Although he could also contact the "Scavengers," those contractors who worked for the country, Su Xiao didn't plan to do so. Those people were not completely trustworthy, and the two sides were like well water not interfering with river water.

This number hadn't been dialed for a long time, but Su Xiao was clear that this phone would definitely be dialed. The other party's work wouldn't easily change numbers.

Beep... beep...

After waiting for a long time, the phone was answered.

"Is it... Su Xiao? Such a strange number."

The voice on the phone was a woman's. The woman's voice was somewhat lazy, as if she wasn't interested in anything, but there was some aggression in the laziness.

"It's me."

The phone fell into silence.

"Contacting me... means you finally want to go to 'that place' after all, right? There is no law or rule in that kind of place. We should use the weapon of law..."

The woman seemed to know Su Xiao's identity and experience.

"The weapon of law is only useful in this country. People there don't talk about law; they only believe in bullets, armored vehicles, and tanks."

Su Xiao's words made the woman on the other end of the phone silent.

This woman was once Su Xiao's lawyer, named Mu Yun, who had many connections in the capital and had helped Su Xiao handle his parents' case. Unfortunately, the case was too complicated and involved too many people.

A small number of people were arrested, and most of them were acquitted for various legitimate reasons, or rather, there was no concrete evidence to prove they were guilty, but they were really guilty.

Those people had nothing to do with Su Xiao's parents, which was also something Su Xiao had always been puzzled about.

His parents were just ordinary people, running a small shop to make a living, but were suddenly killed one day, which was extremely suspicious.

Of course, the police wouldn't let such a murder case go. Several fleeing criminals were arrested, and now those criminals had long since cooled down.

If it followed the normal situation, this case would have been closed, and Su Xiao wouldn't have become an avenger.

Perhaps under the pressure of death, one of the fleeing criminals mentioned a name during the trial, the name of a businessman.

After investigation, the businessman did have suspicion, but only suspicion.

The couple died tragically at home. The police wouldn't let go of any clues for such a case. After that businessman entered the line of sight, things became more and more complicated, and more and more people were involved.

One day, the police investigation suddenly stopped, as if they could only investigate up to that point.

Even now, Su Xiao still remembered the helplessness on the face of that police captain.

That was a police officer with a rigid personality but a righteous heart. He grabbed Su Xiao's arm and said five words together.

"Sorry, I... sorry."

That kind of hesitant expression, Su Xiao only vaguely understood when he was at a young age, but now, he understood completely.

It rained that day, a very heavy rain, so heavy that he couldn't see his parents' tombstone, nor could he see the smiles on the tombstone.

From that day on, Su Xiao understood one thing: justice might exist, but it wouldn't uphold itself, and "justice will prevail" is a fart. The definition of justice itself is vague, and everyone has different justice in their hearts.

Su Xiao woke up from his memories, and the call with Mu Yun was still continuing.

"Hey, are you listening to me? Hey."

"I'm listening."

Mu Yun didn't know why she fell into silence again.

In a law firm in the capital, a mature imperial sister in her late twenties was sitting in the office, holding the latest mobile phone. She was Mu Yun.

Mu Yun was wearing professional attire and red-rimmed glasses. Her sexy lips opened and closed several times, as if she wanted to say something.

"I..."

Mu Yun spoke again, but was interrupted by Su Xiao's voice on the phone.

"I called this time just to ask about the authenticity of those materials."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Mu Yun didn't answer Su Xiao, but asked back:

"It's been a few years. The businessmen and lawyers involved in that case are all dead. Did you... do it?"

After Mu Yun asked, her throat felt a bit dry. If it was really what she imagined, the person talking to her now was no longer that ignorant teenager, but a cunning and brutal murderer.

"Perhaps it's retribution, who knows. But thank you for the information you provided me. It seems those materials are true."

Su Xiao hung up the phone. Mu Yun on the other end of the phone was at a loss. She hadn't said anything.

She didn't need to say anything. Su Xiao had already obtained the information he wanted to know from her words. Compared with those cunning plot characters, Mu Yun... had no comparability.

Mu Yun picked up the coffee beside her and moistened her dry throat. She recalled a thing in her mind. The police officer who investigated the case once said:

"I don't know if those businessmen are guilty, but this teenager will definitely commit a crime in the future. That kind of look is already very close to the eyes of a murderer."

Mu Yun's fair hands didn't know why they started to tremble. If it was really what she imagined, the man who talked to her just now was a serial killer.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun was even more afraid, picked up the coffee and drank several mouthfuls.

"He, won't come to find me, right..."

Su Xiao lay silently in the bathtub. He was going to leave here, go to a war-torn country, and kill someone he could never approach before.

"Heh~, you've lived for so many years, it's time to pay back the debt. Blood for blood, it's only natural."

Red light appeared in Su Xiao's pupils. He had to prepare before taking action.

Su Xiao began to arrange the next plan. In the real world, there was no equipment bonus, and he could only rely on personal attributes and passive skills to fight.

It would take time to get to that country. Su Xiao didn't think he could complete the revenge within seven days, at least two to three derived world intervals.

Su Xiao didn't need to buy thermal weapons. It wouldn't be difficult to leave the country with a sword, with the temporary storage function of the storage space.

Besides the sword, he needed one more thing, and that was money. In that place, you could buy anything with money, even tanks.

Walking out of this villa where he had lived for a while, Su Xiao suddenly felt a bit reluctant.

He had contact with the neighbors nearby. An old couple left a deep impression on him. The old man sometimes played chess with Su Xiao by the sea.

Returning here after revenge, he felt a sense of peace here, suitable for relaxing his body and mind.

The preparation passed quickly for three days. Just as Su Xiao was about to head to the airport, a prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise appeared unexpectedly.

【Tip: Because the Hunter participated in the war world, there is a deviation in the time to enter the derived world with the contractors. This time, you will enter the new derived world in advance to maintain the consistency of the timeline.】

Su Xiao wasn't surprised to receive this prompt. The stay time in the real world wasn't fixed, sometimes a week, sometimes ten days.

【The new derived world is about to open. The Hunter will return to the Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses around.】

【Teleporting... teleportation complete.】

When his consciousness recovered again, Su Xiao was already in the exclusive room.

The revenge plan was temporarily terminated due to an accident. Su Xiao wasn't discouraged at all. The more derived worlds he experienced, the stronger his strength would be, which would make the revenge plan more secure.

Checking the remaining Paradise Coins, there were 13,200 points. He wanted to buy some recovery items with these Paradise Coins.

Arriving at the trading market, it was extremely hot here because the timeline had been unified, and the contractors also had to enter the derived world at this time.

A large number of employees were setting up stalls, and there was no lack of contractors among them.

After wandering around a few times, Su Xiao bought two bottles of medicine.

【Strawberry Juice】

Origin: Toriko

Quality: Green

Type: Recovery Item

Effect: After drinking, can quickly restore 21 HP.

Rating: 15

Introduction: Opening the bottle cap might mean "come again"?

【Strawberry Juice】 was sold for 2,600 Paradise Coins per bottle, and could be drunk continuously. Su Xiao bought two bottles in total.

Just as he was about to continue purchasing recovery items, a stall caught his eye. There was a tattered blueprint on it, which had been burned, and most of it had already been incinerated.

Checking the attributes of the blueprint, Su Xiao's pupils shrank.

"This thing... I'll take it for 6,000 Paradise Coins."

The stall owner was wrapped in black mist. This was an incidental function of setting up a stall. Few people would open it, and most were newcomers.

"No, at least 7,000 Paradise Coins."

The stall owner's attitude was firm, not giving an inch.

Su Xiao didn't bargain anymore and bought it directly for 7,000 Paradise Coins. The stall owner was clearly stunned.

This thing was extremely rare. Although the quality wasn't high, if it were sold to a certain adventure group, it could definitely be sold for over 20,000 Paradise Coins.

This thing only had one function: it could allow people to enter a specific derived world.

Or this thing was a consumable. After using it, the derived world Su Xiao was about to enter would be designated, but the entry process was the same, entering the derived world in a normal way, with all missions available.

"With my current strength, I have the qualifications to roam in this derived world."
