Chapter 3057: Bait

The teleportation sensation faded, and familiar furnishings came into view. Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room. He sat on the sofa, and his spirit relaxed.

【You have returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, starting to settle world rewards.】

Native World: Dark Star World

World Difficulty: lv. 55～lv. 76.

World's Source: 96.08%

Prompt: You obtained 3 Golden Skill Points (determined by comprehensive evaluation).

Comprehensive evaluation is S, Hunter's current brand level is lv. 73, brand level +4 (Native world tier x number of completed tasks + comprehensive evaluation - task completion time).

Prompt: Eighth-tier world settlement, brand level can be increased by a maximum of lv. 3 at one time. Hunter's brand level has been increased to lv. 76.

Prompt: Extra permission +lv. 1.

Settlement complete, rewards have been deposited into the Hunter's brand.

【Hunter has returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, the reward for the Resource quest · Space-Time Power Contention is being evaluated. This is a plunder/war-type task reward, and the task reward will be selected based on the Hunter's own situation.】

【Checking the Hunter's battle situation in 6 worlds...】

【Check complete, it has been detected that the Hunter's survival ability is relatively weak in many battles, giving corresponding rewards...】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao's eyebrows twitched. In reality, his survival ability was not weak, but this judgment was based on the most tragic battles in the previous six worlds.

Recalling the previous opponents, the "Crazy Dog Sword Technique" of the Source Guardian almost slashed Su Xiao to death in one round.

After that was the Blood God. When engulfed by the Blood Erosion, Su Xiao almost received an instant-death judgment.

The Azure Dragon World was okay, but in the battle with the Duoyin King, Su Xiao almost lost his life. Both were technique types, and life and death were only in an instant.

Needless to say, the Magic Spirit Star. When Su Xiao was at the Holy Land · Kiliad, the attack intensity of the small fry there was unreasonably strong.

Especially the jailers in the dungeon. Those guys looked weak and had broken weapons, but they slashed the Priest until he almost became autistic, and they even set a record of killing a seventh-tier contractor in two axes. Where were those jailers? They were clearly dungeon killing gods.

The jailers were still small fry, after all, their defense ability was average. The Sun Warriors were strong enemies. Their survival ability was powerful, and their attack ability was also unimaginably strong.

Besides these, when Su Xiao fought Rogesh, he almost was engulfed by darkness.

Recalling the Holy Land · Kiliad, Su Xiao always firmly believed in one point: he could beat Rogesh at that time, but he was definitely not the opponent of more than 30 Sun Warriors.

The subsequent Magic Sea was even more dangerous. The life-saving item 【Blessing Badge】 was consumed. If it weren't for this thing, Su Xiao would have died in the hands of the Nameless Captain.

The battle with the Feather God, needless to say, Su Xiao's left arm still only had bones until now, Amu was torn into two pieces, the bones on Baha's body were broken into a mess, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang swallowed an Apollo and hadn't spat it out yet.

Recalling this, Su Xiao found that the Reincarnation Paradise's judgment had no problems. Because the enemies were outrageously strong, by comparison, his survival ability was indeed not strong.

【Evaluation complete, you obtained the following rewards.】

1. Directional Acquisition (Permission-type reward · once).

2. Pure Life Stone (After use, can permanently increase 4850 HP, no side effects).

3. Holy Cross Badge (Special item)

【Holy Cross Badge】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Category: Special (No need to wear directly, just deposit into storage space to take effect).

Durability: 1/1

Effect 1: Life · Soul (Passive): Clasp ten fingers together and hold the "Holy Cross Badge" in the palms of both hands. Your soul and life fluctuations will be engraved inside this object.

Number of engravings: 7/7 times.

Prompt: The same unit can be engraved at most once.

Effect 2: Holy Protection (Passive): When the engraver's HP drops below 0.35%, this item will be activated, adding a high-tier invincible shield to the engraver. The shield lasts for 1.5 seconds. During this period, it will restore 100% of the engraver's HP and 50% of their mana.

Prompt: The Holy Cross Badge shatters after being activated once. The remaining powder still possesses extremely powerful holy characteristics. After applying it to a weapon, the weapon will carry high-amount holy true damage for a period of time.

Warning: This item cannot resist execution judgments, but can resist some instant-death judgments (shatters after resisting once).

Introduction: Only those with outstanding achievements will be awarded this badge. In the ancient "Anus Empire," this object represents holiness, scorching sun, and there are even rumors that after being washed by pure faith power, this object can exempt one death's descent.

Price: Cannot be sold.

Undoubtedly, the 【Holy Cross Badge】 was a life-saving trump card. It couldn't resist execution judgments, which was normal. Su Xiao had seen some life-saving items in the trading street. Because they were too expensive, he couldn't afford them. However, these life-saving items all had a characteristic: they couldn't resist execution judgments. Su Xiao suspected that the execution judgment tier was the same tier as true damage.

As for whether there were life-saving items that could resist execution judgments, Su Xiao didn't know.

He himself had execution-type abilities. After executing an enemy, although some strong enemies wouldn't die immediately, they wouldn't continue to fight either. That had no meaning.

After being executed, even the Feather God was weak to the extreme before dying; not dying immediately was already very tough.

Although the 【Holy Cross Badge】 couldn't resist execution, it could resist some instant-death judgments. For example, in the battle with the Feather God before, although after resisting one instant-death, he was attacked subsequently and still stacked the "Annihilation Mark," this was already very tough. Without this resistance, Su Xiao would have died. This was the difference between life and death.

Su Xiao crushed the 【Life Stone】 in his hand, and a life energy spread along his arm, sinking into his chest, starting to nourish his organs.

【Your HP permanently increased by 59 points.】

【Your HP permanently increased by 42 points...】

Prompts appeared occasionally, which made Su Xiao feel comfortable all over. This kind of continuous improvement effect was the most stable.

Besides these two rewards, the 【Directional Acquisition】 permission was the most interesting. This permission was aimed at Scarlet Cards and Scarlet Treasure Chests. The effect was: if Su Xiao killed a contractor and the other party dropped a Scarlet Card, and Su Xiao wanted a certain thing inside the Scarlet Card, he could lock it through this permission. Opening that Scarlet Card would definitely obtain the thing he specified.

Using the 【Directional Acquisition】 permission to lock equipment or abilities was not a wise move. If Su Xiao competed with other contractors for any treasure in the future, and the other party put that treasure into their storage space, after successfully killing the other party, he could use this kind of permission.

Assuming the drop rate of a Scarlet Card was one-fifth, then the probability of opening a specified item in a Scarlet Card was likely 1%, or even lower.

With 【Directional Acquisition】, from killing to obtaining, it was a 20% acquisition probability. The gap between them could be imagined. This was a good thing and might be of great use in the future.

The crystal layer on Su Xiao's left arm shattered. The bones were still there, and the cost of recovery shouldn't be too high. He activated the recovery function to recover his and Baha's injuries. After trying to select Amu, the recovery function showed that it could be 100% recovered.

"Moo."

Amu, who only had half a body, was very invigorated. Before, it still had some characteristics of an alchemy creature, but now the residual characteristics disappeared completely as it became stronger. Compared to this, not needing major repairs was the reason for Amu's invigoration.

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stepped forward and rubbed Su Xiao's leg with its body, meaning: try to recover it too, and see if the Apollo in its stomach could be decomposed.

"..."

"Woof woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned around and was about to run out. Before it could rush out, it was grabbed by the back of its neck by Su Xiao.

Locking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang into the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao sat back on the sofa and took out three pieces of Immortal-grade God Bone, synthesizing them into 【God's Miracle (Immortal-grade)】.

He prepared to upgrade the Fate Dominator to Immortal-grade before opening the treasure chests, maximizing the benefits as much as possible. These were all benefits obtained by risking his life, so of course, he had to cherish them.

Su Xiao didn't intend to upgrade the Fate Dominator's reinforcement level; it was simply too expensive. The reinforcement cost of this thing had reached about 8 to 10 times that of equipment of the same quality, and the risk during reinforcement was extremely high. He speculated that this should be the words engraved on it causing this influence.

Overall, the cost and risk of reinforcing the Fate Dominator were not proportional to the benefits brought. In contrast, engraving worthy names on it was a greater implicit enhancement.

This was a unique way of improvement for the Fate Dominator. It was still accumulating. When this implicit enhancement was awakened, the Fate Dominator would undergo a qualitative change.

At the current stage, upgrading the quality of the Fate Dominator was the most important thing to do. This could not only improve its equipment effects but also improve its carrying capacity, allowing the Fate Dominator to bear more names of the strong.

Of course, catching the Goddess of Luck was also a top priority. In the near future, Su Xiao prepared to do this. The other party often came to spy on him. The only problem right now was that the bait was not enough.

The process of capturing the Goddess of Luck was actually very simple, with the following steps:

1. A suitable world (it was best to find a safe and clean area. After long-term observation, the Goddess of Luck's courage was not big, and she had a bit of cleanliness).

2. Set up 10 to 15 types of imprisonment alchemy arrays (aimed at divine energy, estimated to be set up according to the scale of imprisoning an eighth-tier Ancient God).

3. Place items that the Goddess of Luck liked (collecting, can be sold after use, 0 loss.)

4. Wait for the Goddess of Luck to come.

5. Catch her, beat her up (decide the intensity of the beating according to her attitude), first draw blood, and then decide how to handle it subsequently according to the sincerity and attitude she gave (if the attitude was good, consider letting her go after "processing," to prevent the Fate Dominator from needing fresh luck god blood in the future, thereby conducting a second capture). ===== CHAPTER 3058 =====

5. Catch her, beat her up (the intensity of the beating depends on her attitude), take blood samples first, and then decide how to handle the follow-up based on the sincerity and attitude she gives (if the attitude is good, consider letting her go after 'processing' to prevent the Fate Dominator from needing fresh Lucky God blood again in the future, thus requiring a second capture).
