Chapter 3170: Nearly Broken (Revised)
Su Xiao put away the remaining three treasure chests. His stay in Reincarnation Paradise is usually about three days. After 48 hours, the Fate Sovereign's cooldown ends, and it will not be too late to open these three treasure chests then.
Su Xiao walked out of the exclusive room, and Bahar, having nothing to do, followed. Just as he stepped out, he received an email from the Witch.
The content of the email was that the Witch had a channel to obtain items that exempt negative Charisma penalties. That item can exempt Charisma penalties within -20 points and is called 【Exemption Badge (★★)】.
Su Xiao had obtained 【Exemption Badge】 before, but he had never heard of a two-star one. He could exempt the current negative Charisma penalty because he used the 【Exemption Badge】. After using this item, although the exemption intensity has a limit, it is permanently effective.
The Witch's operation came: she wanted to trade the 【Exemption Badge (★★)】 with Su Xiao for the 【Breath of Despair (Holy Spirit-level Set 8/8)】. The Witch could not stop thinking about this set. This Holy Spirit-level set, which seemed tailor-made for her, could greatly improve her abilities and could be called a qualitative change.
The problem is that the Witch has not yet obtained the 【Exemption Badge (★★)】. From her vague words, Su Xiao learned that a certain straightforward girl possesses the 【Exemption Badge (★★)】. The Witch wants to assist the straightforward girl in completing a very dangerous task in the next world progress, and only then will the straightforward girl pay the 【Exemption Badge (★★)】 to the Witch as a reward.
The Witch felt very insecure in her heart. The achievement mission the straightforward girl wants to complete can be described as a narrow escape. Without the 【Despair Set】, the Witch has no confidence to take the risk.
The Witch came to get something for nothing, wanting Su Xiao to hand over the 【Despair Set】 to her first to improve her strength in the next world. After she assists the straightforward girl in completing that matter and obtains the 【Exemption Badge (★★)】, she will hand it over to Su Xiao.
Bahar also saw this email and could not help but sigh: "Wonderful, does this count as getting something for nothing?"
Of course, this does not count as getting something for nothing for the Witch. She acts as an assistant during the period and thus obtains a reward. The key is, what if she dies in the mission world?
After some negotiation, the two parties finally settled that Su Xiao would prepay the 【Despair Set】 to the Witch, and the Witch would mortgage a 【Sealing Box】 to Su Xiao.
This 【Sealing Box】 contains the Witch's family fortune. Although the Witch cannot use this fortune at the current stage, its value is unquestionable. This 【Sealing Box】 was formed after being notarized by Reincarnation Paradise as equivalent in value to the 【Despair Set】.
This 【Sealing Box】 has two ways to open: through the Witch's brand, or upon the Witch's death.
"Don't... lose it... there is... my most important... thing inside."
The Witch, wearing a purple witch hat, spoke at the same slow speed, holding a square black box in her arms.
Su Xiao decisively completed the transaction. After taking over the 【Sealing Box】, he traded the 【Despair Set】 to the Witch. The Witch's speaking speed was too slow. If it were in a mission world, it would be nothing, and one could hit her with a hand, but Reincarnation Paradise is an absolutely safe area.
"Bai Ye, ah~, why, leaving, I still wanted to..."
The Witch's voice faded in Su Xiao's ears. Su Xiao was going to meet Bao Shu to help the Hairpin King complete the second treatment first.
Su Xiao arrived at a desolate area. After passing through a half-kilometer-long alley, the front suddenly opened up.
"Been waiting for you for a long time."
Bao Shu raised the wine bottle in his hand. Beside him was a door that opened out of thin air.
Following Bao Shu into the Hairpin King's exclusive room, Su Xiao saw a toad squatting on the coffee table counting banknotes. What the other party held was currency from a certain native world, which, due to its characteristics, was notarized by Reincarnation Paradise and became a precious item.
What surprised Su Xiao was that Sha was also there. Seeming to see Su Xiao's surprise, Bao Shu explained: "We have been cooperating recently. Besides being a bit violent, Sha is a good partner."
Sha was sitting beside the Hairpin King. Looking at that expression, she should have been feeding the Hairpin King poisonous chicken soup, for example, pain is an aid to growth, and suffering is a millstone to temper willpower.
Looking at the Hairpin King's bright eyes, it seemed she really believed it and had overcome her fear of extracting dark matter. Unfortunately, she did not know that this time, not only dark matter but also 【Dark Sediment】 would be extracted.
"Bai, Bai Ye, thank you for coming to help me with the treatment again."
When the Hairpin King said this, she turned her head slightly. This was her last bit of stubbornness.
"..."
Su Xiao pushed the Hairpin King's head, making her tilt her head to reveal her side neck. He discovered that the fine black patterns on her neck were much fewer than when the treatment was completed last time. This made him think that Bao Shu and the Toad were very reliable. Without the two of them helping to get rare drugs, this recovery effect could not have been achieved.
Su Xiao came to the metal door by the wall. After pushing the door open, it was a room with a metal operating table in the center and various instruments placed around it.
The Hairpin King sitting on the sofa trembled. After she got up, her steps became slower and slower. Ahead was hell.
A moment later, the metal door slammed shut. Su Xiao came to the operating table. His thoroughly disinfected arms were slightly raised. He picked up a mask connected to several catheters, put it on his face, and put on a pair of rubber medical gloves.
"What are you looking at? Lie down yourself."
Su Xiao's voice was slightly muffled. Hearing this, the Hairpin King gritted her teeth. Compared to last time, there was not much shame this time. Just now, she had been fed a lot of poisonous chicken soup by Sha. Now that it came to practice, it was a completely different matter.
A few minutes later, the Hairpin King was lying naked on the operating table. Fortunately, she was covered with a quilt, which gave her a little sense of security. However, the Hairpin King was also very puzzled. Why was this "Demon Doctor" so kind as to give her a quilt? Last time... she did not want to recall the scene of last time.
"With the experience of the first treatment, this time will only be smoother."
Su Xiao threw a candy in front of the Hairpin King. Seeing this candy, the Hairpin King was really panicked. The situation was very wrong.
Su Xiao ignored the Hairpin King. He opened the recording device on the side, and while recording the image, he said:
"Record 2, second stripping of dark matter, time, 8:17 AM, receptor vital signs stable, no soul rejection reaction, blood oxygen content normal, heartbeat frequency stable, psychological situation good, mental fluctuations calm, IV-type anesthetic has been administered for 2 minutes and 21 seconds, expected to complete inhalation anesthesia in 9 seconds..."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Hairpin King wanted to get up from the bed, but she was lying very comfortably now and did not want to move at all. No matter what kind of perseverance she used to deny this idea, she was swallowed by the warm feeling. So comfortable~
The Hairpin King fell asleep in a daze. Her consciousness recovered again, awakened by the heart-piercing pain. This pain seemed to come from every cell in her body, making her unable to help but cry out hoarsely. Unfortunately, she could not make a sound at all at this time.
The Hairpin King slowly opened her eyes. The scene she witnessed made her sanity almost slide to a negative number. She saw that all her internal organs were hung up by energy threads, and her beating heart was pierced from top to bottom by an energy needle, with black liquid dripping along the needle tip into the collection vessel below.
The Hairpin King turned her gaze at a not-so-fast speed. She saw a figure wearing surgical clothes, a mask connected to catheters, and blood spots splashed all over the body.
"Oh? Awake?"
The figure in the Hairpin King's eyes picked up an injection gun and stabbed at her neck.
"Don't... want..."
After the Hairpin King said this in a low voice, she fainted again.
I don't know how long it had passed, but blurred light appeared before the Hairpin King's eyes. She tried hard to open her eyes, only opening a slit. Everything looked blurred due to the obstruction of her eyelashes.
"What's going on with the amount of blood spraying around? Are you sure she's okay?"
"The little cutie cried, she must have woken up during the surgery."
"Sigh, when she wakes up, prepare something delicious for her. Let's go out first."
The conversation reached the Hairpin King's ears. Her eyes opened, the world before her eyes returned to clarity, and the sound also drew closer. Her senses returned.
"There is one thing to tell you."
Su Xiao's voice reached the Hairpin King's ears. She turned her head with difficulty and asked weakly: "What... thing."
"There was an accident. You have two choices now. First, cherish your last three hours."
After listening to Su Xiao's words, the Hairpin King, who had just woken up, reacted for a while.
"I... can only live for three hours now."
The Hairpin King was not afraid; there was only regret and helplessness in her eyes.
"Not really, you have another choice."
"I can still be saved?"
The Hairpin King's emerald-like eyes recovered their light. She did not want to die yet; she still had many things unfinished.
"Of course, as long as you re-inject the dark matter just stripped out into the 'second zone' of your body, which is the body area where the kidneys are located, you can use the 'clustering' of dark matter to curb your body from absorbing the remaining dark matter. Simply put, I will perform another surgery for you."
"?"
The Hairpin King looked at Su Xiao blankly. It was not that she did not understand Su Xiao's words, but that she did not want to understand.
An hour later, Su Xiao put away several sealed test tubes. The harvest this time was fruitful. He obtained 5 portions of 【Dark Matter】 and 1 portion of 【Dark Sediment】. These are materials for manufacturing 'Eyes'.
Su Xiao looked at the Hairpin King, who was curled up in the quilt with dull eyes. This made him secretly ponder whether he knew a psychiatrist to provide psychological counseling for the Hairpin King. This is simply a mobile treasury. If it breaks, it's a huge loss.
After pondering for a long time, he could not think of a suitable person. Should he bring the Mad Doctor, the Dean, and the others? Thinking about it, it was unreliable. It would be better to let Sha feed the Hairpin King poisonous chicken soup with quotes found online. ===== CHAPTER 3171 =====
