Chapter 3322

In Xia's restaurant.

Su Xiao was eating delicious food as usual. Xia on the opposite seat was holding the Death Duel Terminal with both hands, her expression hateful. Before long, she was depressed by the ultra-high difficulty DLC of the puzzle game.

"Do you usually play this game to relax? This... can this really relax? I'm a bit autistic."

Xia put down the Death Duel Terminal and asked after calming her emotions: "How is the effect? Does your body feel hot? Don't care about my feelings, just say it."

Xia's gaze was very expectant. Recently, her cooking ability had successfully developed. In her words, she was about to become particularly wealthy.

Xia had been developing her cooking ability, not just to make the dishes more delicious. Today, her ability finally blossomed. To some extent, Xia had become an alternative pharmacist. She could finally bestow permanent buff characteristics on food through cooking.

Unlike the buffs of potions, the food Xia cooks has little effect if eaten only once. If eaten over time, the accumulated buffs are higher than potions.

Xia's current difficulty is that she needs to conduct various attempts and cooking. The higher the ingredients she cooks, the higher the proficiency her ability accumulates, just like when Su Xiao first improved Alchemy. When the proficiency is full, pay Paradise Coins to improve the ability level.

"No feeling, seems to have buffs."

Su Xiao was eating seafood noodles. The taste of the noodles was fresh and fragrant, and he couldn't stop.

"Maybe your physical fitness is too strong. Let my friend try it tomorrow. She should have an effect after eating. By the way, don't forget what I just said."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao continued to enjoy the food. Xia's proposal just now was that if he fought large beasts, no matter whether they were strong or not, he should bring back some meat ingredients to her to cook. This kills two birds with one stone: Xia improves the proficiency of her cooking ability, and Su Xiao eats delicious food for free and slightly improves himself.

Furthermore, his food problem in the Reincarnation Paradise is solved at Xia's place for three meals a day, not only because the distance is close, but also because the taste is getting better and better.

If Xia's cooking ability had improved earlier, Su Xiao would definitely have brought back some Sun Bird meat. It's not too late now. In the future, during the execution of missions, he can pay attention to whether there are rare beasts and birds, or supernatural wild fungi. As long as he pays the corresponding fees for notarization, these can be brought back to Xia's place for cooking.

Thinking this way, Su Xiao had already left the restaurant. After walking a long way, thinking he hadn't paid, after estimating the distance he had walked, he decided to pay next time. Hmm, in the past three months, it seems it was always "pay next time."

Su Xiao still had a large sum of Soul Coins. He came to the Skill Upgrade Hall, found a skill upgrade chamber, and began to improve the two abilities "Basic Passive · Spirit Toughness Lv. 1" and "Basic Passive · Body Soul Lv. 40."

Improving the former is to be able to cause higher soul damage and enhance "Soul Energy Tier." This is an attribute that must be improved for mastering Soul-Severing Shadow and wearing soul equipment in the near future.

Two hours later, Su Xiao sat cross-legged in the skill upgrade chamber. He had 7140 Soul Coins left. No matter how many Soul Coins he got, they were still not enough.

【Basic Passive · Spirit Toughness, Lv. 30.】

Skill Effect 1: Soul damage caused increased by 25% (increased by 22%).

Skill Effect 2: Soul energy tier +3 (increased by 2 tiers).

Skill upgrade requirement: Soul Strength above 150 points.

【Basic Passive · Body Soul, Lv. 45.】

Skill Effect 1: Permanently increase Health by 41% (increased by 6%).

Skill Effect 2: Physical potential limit tier +5.

Skill Effect 3: Resistance to abnormal attributes such as severe poison, erosion, paralysis, dizziness, etc., +60 points (increased by 8 points).

Skill upgrade requirement: Real Stamina attribute above 220 points.

Su Xiao tried to improve "Breath Release Lv. 32." He had mastered Blood Gun Master, and he had to improve this ability no matter what, plus there was the bonus of the seven-star title 【Blood Intent】 this time.

"Title Effect: Blood Spring Intent Surge (Passive), when improving blood-based and blood energy-based abilities, can significantly additionally improve blood quality or improve the breath intensity of blood energy."

The cost of improving one level of "Breath Release Lv. 32" is 1000 Soul Coins. For Su Xiao, this is a huge profit. He chose to pay. The next second, he disappeared in the skill enhancement chamber.

Time passed minute by minute. 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. You know, he used to go to the ancient battlefield and come back after a few minutes.

15 minutes and 37 seconds passed. Space fluctuations spread, and Su Xiao appeared abruptly.

Boom!!

A pit was smashed into the metal inner wall of the skill enhancement chamber. Su Xiao stood up. His face and neck were covered with blood patterns. These blood patterns carried high temperatures and drifted out wisps of sparks.

Just now, when Su Xiao was plundering blood energy with a simplified version of the Devouring Core on the ancient battlefield, he encountered that Sleeper transformed from the corpse of an Extinction Blade. The other party created a Devouring Core in the sky a few kilometers away.

That Devouring Core did not have the same characteristics as the one Su Xiao mastered. The Devouring Core Su Xiao mastered was used to absorb available energy to enhance himself.

That Sleeper's Devouring Core was combat-based. Although it couldn't be used to enhance himself, the combat power derived from it made Su Xiao very envious.

Everything within a few kilometers was sucked toward that Devouring Core, which was like a black hole. Judging by that appearance, if it weren't for the Sleeper not wanting to wantonly destroy the ancient battlefield, the suction area of the Devouring Core would be larger.

Although Su Xiao retreated, he was locked by the Devouring Core. After being teleported back, the suction force didn't disappear, so he hit the inner wall of the skill enhancement chamber.

There is no saying which of the two systems of Devouring Core is better. Mastering which one depends on personal physique. Good body energy growth is an auxiliary Devouring Core, and good body energy extension is a combat Devouring Core.

【Hint: Removing the blood energy erosion of the ancient battlefield requires consuming 153 Soul Coins.】

【Hint: Removing the blood energy residue in the breath requires consuming 429 Soul Coins.】

Su Xiao chose to pay. With the consumption of Soul Coins, his brain gradually became light. Plus, he sat cross-legged and meditated. A few minutes later, the blood patterns on his body all evaporated, and his state recovered.

【Breath Release has been upgraded to Lv. 44 (upgraded 12 levels).】

【Warning: Due to the increase in your blood energy, your Charisma attribute is about to drop.】

【Warning: Your Charisma attribute has dropped by 1 point,】

【Current Charisma attribute: -10 points.】

【Because your Charisma attribute has reached -10 points, the Blood Malice (Passive) ability has begun to awaken. It is expected that this ability will be fully awakened in 3 to 5 natural days.】

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to this. The significant strengthening of blood energy also gave his Blood Gun Master a bonus. The blood gun is composed of blood energy.

Because he hit a pit in the skill enhancement chamber, Su Xiao paid 12 Soul Coins, left the Skill Upgrade Hall, and walked toward the trial field.

He originally wanted to play in the arena, but there wasn't much stay time left. It was more important to develop abilities. There were many abilities to develop and improve this time, such as Blue Ghost, and various ways of using the blood gun.

【If you need to enter the seventh floor of the Land of All Living Things, you need to consume 100 Soul Coins per hour.】

Su Xiao paid 3500 Soul Coins. The teleportation array under his feet lit up. When the teleportation ended, he was already standing on a water surface. The water surface was as smooth as a mirror. The touch of stepping on it was like stepping on rock ground. What was under his feet was actually pure soul energy.

The bitter cultivation began. 35 hours later, Su Xiao, who was almost exhausted, reached his limit of stay in the Reincarnation Paradise and was teleported directly back to the jewelry store in the real world.

The breeze was gentle. It was late August in summer, and the coolness of the evening made people sleepy. The two groups of elderly dance troupes didn't come today, otherwise, he could have watched their "Sunset Red Battle" for a while.

Su Xiao's snoring gradually became even. Seeing this, Amu, who was sitting by the bed, got up to close the window.

This is Amu's special bad point. It doesn't feel hot in midsummer, so it thinks others are cold and likes to cover people with quilts in the middle of the night. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang is the number one victim.

For a while, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang always thought there was a ghost in the jewelry store. It gestured mysteriously to Su Xiao, meaning, there's a ghost, and the ghost is psychologically perverted. It covers it with a quilt every night, and it's winter, the thickest kind of cotton quilt, which almost made it hot and stupid.

"Don't close the window, it's stuffy."

Su Xiao, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, spoke.

"Moo."

Amu returned to the floor and read a comic book with its thick fingers.

Unknowingly, Su Xiao fell asleep. In his dream, he saw a plain with sparse trees growing on it. Some areas were distributed with exploded dirt pits, and there were bloodstains and broken corpses nearby.

The dazzling sun was in the sky. Su Xiao initially thought this was a dream, but when he saw the large open space in the distance preparing to repair the foundation, he realized this was not a dream.

【Hint: The Hunter is in a conscious viewing state (the image you see is a real-time image).】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao thought about what was going on. This was a scene that the Reincarnation Paradise let him see after he fell asleep. He was in a bird's-eye view, could zoom in on the scene, or move the bird's-eye view at a very fast speed.

The foundation span below was about a thousand meters. This was to build several buildings connected in parallel. Many tents were set up nearby, and many people were kneeling on the ground, worshiping. These people wore the same bucket helmets and were members of the Sun Church.

Su Xiao's viewing angle retreated rapidly, his consciousness was a bit blurry, and he didn't know how long he continued to sleep. He opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the small bed on the second floor. Benny was lying on his chest with four claws spread out, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was squeezed to the side, and the morning sun was shining into the room through the gap in the curtains. It was already morning.

【Hint: You have obtained Faith Power · Sun (10 ounces).】

【Hint: The Hunter does not have a divine physique, please do not absorb this energy.】

Su Xiao's heart was full of confusion. He checked the storage space and found a tightly sealed small bottle. Inside was golden quicksand-like energy, which was Faith Power.

The scene he saw just now must be the scene in the new painting world. Judging from the corpses he saw initially, it was the "Sun Church" and the "Sea God Palace" fighting for a better building location.

The result was the victory of the "Sun Church." These lunatics are in a state of battle 24 hours a day, and they go hunting beast-transformed people when they have nothing to do every day.

How could the "Sea God Palace," which was once located on the seabed, be the opponent of these sun lunatics? They were hammered to "ying ying ying" on the spot. If it weren't for the large number of people, they would have been hammered to tears by the "Sun Church."

This also couldn't explain why he obtained Faith Power · Sun. The only possibility Su Xiao could think of was whether it was because he named the new painting world, killed the Sun Bird, and stewed the Sun Bird with mushrooms, and ate a lot.

Besides these factors, Su Xiao couldn't think of any other inducements that would make him obtain Faith Power · Sun. He himself indeed couldn't absorb this thing. Letting the third-generation Devourer he was cultivating try it was a good choice.

The curtains were pulled open, and Su Xiao looked at the scenery outside the window. He could just relax his mood now. Wait for the arrival of the new world. If the next world is entering the Tree-Born World, then he will have to clash with the Gray Gentleman, the Priest, and the Immortal Concubine.

But this is a matter of a few days later. In these few days, Su Xiao prepared to find a place to stroll around. Just as he was about to turn and go downstairs, he saw two people walking toward the jewelry store through the window.

Su Xiao was surprised in his heart. He hadn't sold anything for a while. Looking at the two female guests walking downstairs, one of them made him feel slightly surprised. It was actually Xia.

Su Xiao saw that Xia and her friend didn't walk in directly, but took a detour after arriving nearby. Looking at the appearance, they were preparing to go around from the backyard. This was clearly something, not a visit.

Su Xiao didn't care too much about this, but after a while, he suddenly thought that when he was at a low level, to avoid revenge from enemies, he buried landmines in his backyard. Small animals like wild cats didn't have enough weight, so they couldn't trigger them when stepping on them, and they couldn't explode. But as an adult woman, Xia and her friend could trigger them.

"Boss, the alarm is on. Someone is stepping on mines in the backyard. They should be standing there for punishment. I don't know who it is."

Baha's shout came. Su Xiao continued to walk toward the backyard. Just as he arrived at the backyard, Su Xiao saw Xia's expression of doubting life. Maybe she really couldn't figure out why someone would bury landmines in their own backyard. This seriously exceeded her cognitive range.
