Chapter 3851: A Bountiful Harvest

~37 min read 7,375 words

Inside the exclusive room, the sensation of teleportation faded. Su Xiao sat on a single-seat sofa as all life-support devices automatically activated. Wisps of cold mist dispersed. He activated his recovery authorization, which caused his crystal arms to shatter and break apart; the severed limbs floated toward the stumps, and fluorescent green light particles emerged in the surrounding area. Nearby, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja also began to recover from their injuries.

This trip to the Witch World had been extremely perilous, especially during the final battle against the Primordial Witch, where Amu had even had his head severed. Fortunately, the life-support devices of Su Xiao's team were sufficient; even so, the life-support devices could not save him every time his head was cut off.

"Meow."

Beni jumped onto Su Xiao's lap, expressing herself excitedly. This time, she hadn't been teleported to the ocean but had arrived at the Southern Continent. The so-called Southern Continent was a vast landmass located on the southeast side of the Wizard Continent. Although its area was only a few percent of the Wizard Continent, it was very prosperous.

This place was, of course, controlled by the Wizard faction and managed by a Star Wizard named Sollei Ao. The reason the Witch Guild and the Star Research Institute trusted this wizard was not only because "Star Fall City" had developed under his management, but also because he was one of the four commanders of the battle wizards, possessing top-tier strength, leadership, and insight.

In just over a hundred years, Sollei Ao had developed the remote Southern Continent into a scale second only to the three main cities of the Wizard faction, and it had become the largest gemstone processing site in the myriad worlds, ranking second in the gemstone trade area.

When Beni was first teleported here, she encountered a beautiful young lady. Although the other party's temperament was gentle, there was a faint sense of vigilance. Beni, who had just met this beautiful young lady, was suddenly pursued by a group of black-robed assassins. Strangely, this beautiful young lady actually fled and hid with Beni.

The person and the cat hid in a wardrobe in a three-story residential building, which was the only way they escaped the pursuit of the black-robed group. Because they had fled for their lives together, and Beni felt that she might have implicated the other party—the black-robed people had strong magic energy fluctuations on them, and they must have been the lackeys of the spellcasters.

Therefore, Beni treated this beautiful young lady to lunch. The beautiful young lady, who was in dire straits, was indeed hungry, and the person and the cat had a very pleasant meal.

During the meal, Beni learned that the other party was a Gem Master. As for her name, it wasn't that she was unwilling to reveal it; it was that her name had been cursed by an enemy. Even hearing her name could potentially bring misfortune—mildly, bad luck for a period of time; severely, a threat to her life.

The person and the cat got along very well. The problem was that both sides were worried about implicating the other. Behind Beni was the Law-Extinguishing Shadow Su Xiao, who had many enemies and was also very strong. Even the top-tier powerhouse of the Witch faction, the Moon Witch Seresilis, would fall silent for a long while after hearing about Su Xiao's enemy faction.

The Gem Master's situation was similar. Her father was a Wandering Hunter, and she was very worried that if she traveled with Beni, the enemies pursuing her would implicate this cat.

Although the two sides chatted very congenially, they parted ways after saying goodbye. Interestingly, the next morning, they met on Gem Street No. 3 and encountered that group of black-robed people again. This time, they had more experience in running away.

After Beni and the Gem Master were safe, they couldn't help but complain to each other about how many enemies the other party had. The Gem Master sighed and said that she herself actually had no enemies; the main problem was that her father was a Wandering Hunter.

Hearing this, Beni was stunned. The Wandering Hunter faction was no longer famous now, but in the past, they were as renowned as the Moon Wolf and the Abyss Watcher, and they were quite professional in dealing with various disasters caused by world-ending level and abyssal creatures.

After hearing the Gem Master's words, Beni bluntly stated that she was a follower of a Law-Extinguisher. This time, it was the Gem Master's turn to be stunned. Good heavens, the backers behind both sides had equally numerous enemies. Now there was no need to worry about who implicated whom, so Beni and the Gem Master traveled together.

Of course, Beni also secretly kept her guard up. Using the method of being pursued by enemies to pretend to share hardships with a "big sucker" in the hostile faction, and finally using that big sucker to death—her own "poop-scooper" had done that before. Beni had no intention of harming others, but she dared not lose her guard against others.

After getting along for a while, Beni found that she had worried too much. This beautiful Gem Master, who looked gentle, dignified, and wise, was actually a math idiot. For example, the Gem Master could really do things like buying gems for 500 soul coins and selling them for 450 soul coins after processing.

At first, Beni thought to herself: "This might be acting; let me observe a bit more."

It wasn't until all of Beni's pocket money was invested that she realized the severity of the situation. After asking, she learned that this was a sequela of the curse the Gem Master suffered. For the Gem Master, addition and subtraction within 10 was the limit.

Please do not have the slightest doubt about her intelligence. Her gemstone processing skills made the famous gem craftsmen of Gem Firm No. 1 dare not show off their skills in front of her, lest they appear to be teaching a fish to swim.

Not long after, Beni discovered that her friend wasn't a math idiot; she had forgotten a lot of relevant memories. Coupled with hiding from enemies' pursuit for the past few years, she had no opportunity to learn and master it. Just like that, Beni began to teach the Gem Master math, while the Gem Master taught Beni a lot of knowledge about gemstones.

Interestingly, the two of them sometimes simply tortured each other. When Beni taught the Gem Master math, she experienced what it felt like to be angry to the point of trembling, while when the Gem Master taught Beni gemstone knowledge, she was so angry she couldn't eat. It was a mutual injury of friendship.

"Meow."

Beni raised her head with a bit of pride, meaning that she had learned a nearly lost secret technique: Gem Synthesis.

Beni ran into the alchemy laboratory and took a few low-quality gems. Then, she held her two cat paws in a virtual grip, and pale gold light particles emerged, wrapping the two gems. Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog eyes widened, and he leaned in to watch with rapt attention.

Beni catalyzed the gems with extra seriousness, her cat face leaning forward involuntarily with a smug smile. Xiang Bubu, out of curiosity, also leaned his dog face forward, full of silliness. Su Xiao and Baja retreated silently. As for Amu, he was eating in front of his exclusive large refrigerator.

Boom!

The gem suddenly exploded.

"Woo meow."

"Woo howl!"

Beni covered her cat face, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rolled on the ground with his paws covering his dog eyes—a literal meme.

"Woo meow!"

Beni, with gem dust falling off her face, glared at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with teary eyes, meaning that it was this silly dog who breathed too loudly just now, interrupting her train of thought.

"Wang?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was stunned for a moment, and then the daily cat-and-dog war began.

【Prompt: For this recovery, you paid a total of 27,620 soul coins.】

The recovery fee was getting more and more expensive. Su Xiao didn't pay much attention to this. He now had 5.2 million soul coins on him. As a triple-technique grandmaster, this was the first time he felt so secure in his wealth.

【World reward settlement begins.】

Transcendent Native World: Witch World.

World Difficulty: Lv. 50~Lv.???

World Source: 84.9%

Number of completed tasks: 7 (Main tasks x6, Awakening task x1).

Comprehensive Evaluation: S+

Starting to collect World Source.

World Source collection complete, starting to calculate rewards.

Rewards obtained: 88 real attribute points (base + extra bonus from high-tier native world), Origin Stone x30 (these are ordinary Origin Stones).

Prompt: Real Power Plunder has been activated; you will obtain 1–3 Golden Skill Points. Prompt: You obtained 3 Golden Skill Points (based on the comprehensive evaluation).

The comprehensive evaluation is S+. The Hunter's current brand level is Lv. 93, Brand Level +6.1 (Task world tier x number of completed tasks + comprehensive evaluation - task completion time, Upgrade Master title extra +0.1).

Prompt: Your brand level has reached Lv. 95 (this is the highest level achievable for the Absolute Strong tier).

Prompt: Your extra authorization +Lv. 4.

Settlement complete, rewards have been deposited into the Hunter Brand.

Su Xiao had seen world settlements many times, but this time the brand level +6.1 made him feel slightly puzzled. After checking relevant information with Hunter authorization, he knew what was going on.

The brand level corresponding to the Absolute Strong tier is Lv. 90–Lv. 95. One might ask, do you go to a Transcendent Native World immediately after promoting to Absolute Strong? Of course not. The early, middle, and even late stages of Absolute Strong correspond to top-tier Ninth-Tier worlds. These worlds also have Absolute Strong individuals, or even Absolute Strong individuals who have been famous for many years.

A newly promoted Absolute Strong person has to wander in top-tier Ninth-Tier worlds for a long time, and the brand level from Lv. 90 to Lv. 95 inevitably seems to have a very tight range of improvement. Even if you experience one world and improve by 1 level, you can't accumulate much foundation before the brand level reaches Lv. 95.

In fact, after promoting to Absolute Strong, the improvement range of the brand level uses Lv. 0.1 as the smallest unit, meaning Lv. 90–Lv. 95 is a full 50 small levels.

This is why, after Su Xiao promoted to Absolute Strong and officially experienced one world, "Brand Level +6.1" appeared in the world settlement. In the previous world, he promoted to Absolute Strong midway through the world progress, so naturally, there wouldn't be such a prompt.

The problem now is that Su Xiao hadn't experienced this 0.1-level brand level improvement at all, but thinking about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with it. He swept through the Eternal Light World, "Brand Level +6"—is there a problem with this? Obviously not.

Furthermore, his experience in this Transcendent Native World, the Witch World, improved his brand by 2 levels—is there a problem with this? Of course not.

【Prompt: It is detected that you have accumulated ten S+ comprehensive evaluations.】

【You will receive the following rewards.】

1. Your personal storage space tier +1 (size increased to 50 cubic meters, storage stability increased to the maximum, and high-risk judgment items can be stored).

2. Your Adventure Group team storage space increased to 5,000 cubic meters.

3. After completing each world settlement, your stay time in Reincarnation Paradise +2 natural days (total of 7 natural days each time).

4. Secondary stay time +5 natural days.

The rewards for ten S+ comprehensive evaluations were surprising. The improvement of personal storage space would require subsequent testing to know the specific changes. As for the team storage space, this thing was too useful.

Sometimes, when encountering supplies that were notarized but couldn't be brought back to Reincarnation Paradise due to their large quantity and volume, they could now be brought back. Even if these things weren't considered valuable, they added up.

The stay time in Reincarnation Paradise was something that couldn't be increased by other means. After Su Xiao could go to the Land of All Living Things (Eighth Floor) for free, let alone increasing the stay time in Reincarnation Paradise by 2 days, even increasing it by 2 hours was a very good gain.

In Reincarnation Paradise, unless necessary, he wouldn't sleep. The problem was that every time he improved various abilities, especially after improving Law-Extinguishing abilities, he really couldn't recover without the most basic way of resting: sleep. As a Master Alchemist, Su Xiao had ways to make himself not need sleep for years or even decades and remain energetic, but he could be sure that once he did this, his subsequent achievements in technique abilities wouldn't be high, and might even stop immediately. Technique abilities were about challenging all things with a mortal body; once he became non-human, the accumulation of the past would be wasted.

He could be an extremely powerful human, with a heart as powerful as a star and blood hotter than magma, but in his own cognition, he must maintain that he hadn't stepped into the non-human realm and hadn't abandoned the belief of constantly breaking through his own limits.

Among the gains this time, the last one, "Secondary Stay Time," was not the stay time in the real world. Suppose Su Xiao went to the Soul Library after returning to Reincarnation Paradise; then the time spent in the Soul Library would be deducted from the stay time in Reincarnation Paradise. Now that there was "Secondary Stay Time," when going to the Soul Library, the "Secondary Stay Time" would be deducted first. Only after the "Secondary Stay Time" was exhausted would the stay time in Reincarnation Paradise be deducted.

【Prompt: You obtained 10,580 soul coins.】

The share from the Painting World had arrived. This amount of soul coins was truly unsatisfactory, which made Su Xiao decide that if he was short of soul coins for improving himself this time, he would sell the "Share Authorization" of the Painting World to Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao's speed of improving his tier far exceeded other contractors. If it were a normal contractor who obtained this "Share Authorization," they would definitely keep it like a treasure. A normal contractor would experience about 15–17 world progresses from the Seventh Tier to the Eighth Tier, and 25–27 world progresses from the Eighth Tier to the Ninth Tier.

The share revenue of the Painting World increased as one experienced more world progresses and with each world settlement. Su Xiao's problem was that after he promoted to Absolute Strong in the Eternal Light World, the subsequent world progress had maxed out his brand authorization.

His Reincarnation Brand level had reached Lv. 95, and this "Share Authorization" was only worth a little over 10,000 soul coins each time. The higher one's own brand level, the higher the price for selling such "Share Authorization" to Reincarnation Paradise. Considering that it was impossible to improve the brand level in the near future, now was the best time to sell this "Share Authorization."

【Prompt: The shared ability of the SSS-level Adventure Group has been triggered. Each time a world settlement occurs, corresponding team skill points will be obtained based on the comprehensive evaluation obtained by the leader.】

【This comprehensive evaluation is S+, you obtained 40 team skill points.】

【Team Skill, Hunting Group (Passive x): During world settlement, you can improve your own physical attributes by 1–5 points (randomly improved among one of the seven attributes: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Stamina, Charisma, Luck, and Willpower).】

【The beneficiaries of this skill are: Hunter himself, Xiang Bubu Te Ni, Amu, Baja, and Beni.】

The exciting lottery session began. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Beni temporarily stopped fighting and gathered around to wait for the drawing results. 【Your Charisma attribute +1 point.】

【Your Luck attribute +4 points.】

Su Xiao checked his own status and, after confirming that the effect of swapping luck with Mo Lei had disappeared, he was in a very good mood. An increase of a full 4 points in the Luck attribute was very rare even in the later stages.

Using the existing 40 team skill points, Su Xiao improved the "Vitality Awakening" ability. Now this "Rare Team Passive" was Lv. 86. Due to its characteristics, each level required 3 team skill points. However, since team skill points had no other use now, he invested them all. But as he added them, the team skill points suddenly cleared to zero.

【Vitality Awakening (Rare Team Passive) has been improved to Lv. 95; this ability level will be converted to X.】 【Team Skill 3: Vitality Awakening (Rare Team Passive, X), when a team member's health drops below 10%, this ability will be activated, restoring 13,550 health + 85% of maximum health within the next 3 seconds (the cooldown of this ability is 15 hours, and the cooldown between team members is calculated separately).】

【Prompt: All your Adventure Group skills have reached X. In subsequent world settlements, you will no longer obtain team skill points.】

【Current remaining team skill points: 27 points.】

【Team skill points are being converted; you obtained Team Authorization Cards x27.】

【Team Authorization Card: When the Adventure Group leader uses this card, it can increase the level of a designated adventure group skill by +1. To improve a "Rare Team Skill," it requires consuming 3 "Team Authorization Cards" at once.】

【Prompt: This item can be traded freely within Reincarnation Paradise.】

This compensation was very interesting. Su Xiao felt that these 27 "Team Authorization Cards" should be very valuable. If one couldn't frequently obtain S-level world comprehensive evaluations, the number of team skill points obtained was actually very small.

Su Xiao moved his arms after recovery. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the feeling after recovery this time was several times better than before. In the past, for injuries like severed arms or legs, even if the recovery authorization was activated, there would still be a slight feeling of "just recovered" for a few hours. After about a day, this feeling would disappear completely. This time, there was absolutely no such feeling.

Checking relevant authorizations, Su Xiao found that this wasn't an illusion. After his brand level reached Lv. 95, the recovery authorization he could now activate had reached the ultimate effect of conventional recovery. As for deep recovery, there was no need to perform it often. With his combat frequency, performing it once every ten world progresses or so would result in a very good state.

Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa, his whole body gradually relaxing. This trip to the Witch World could be described as full of pressure, mainly because the three people—the Priest, the Platinum Apostle, and the Abyssal Bishop—had joined forces, which was truly troublesome. To be honest, if it weren't for the Moon Witch as a teammate, he probably wouldn't have won this time.

Thinking of the Moon Witch, Su Xiao took out a delicate thin wooden tube from his storage space. The Moon Witch Seresilis had promised to help him kill Xiao, but she didn't find an opportunity, so she left this thing behind. After he opened it, he found a potion formula and a photo inside.

This photo was a divination scene, and the fate fluctuation on it was the most obvious feature. Below the photo, the Moon Witch had marked it with common Void text: "Daughter of Xiao."

The little girl in the photo looked about 10 years old, but Su Xiao could be sure that the girl's age was between 17 and 20. Even if her body was malnourished and grew slowly, she could still be identified from her hair, nails, pupils, and other aspects.

Moreover, this girl was fixed at this age by some kind of technological device, putting her into a deep sleep state to maintain her life. Observing the surrounding environment in the photo, this situation should have been maintained for many years. The girl had developed sleep-induced premature aging syndrome due to excessively long deep sleep.

At first glance at this girl, Su Xiao felt that she didn't look like a complete living being. Observing her skin condition, subcutaneous blood vessels, etc., he confirmed that the girl had been parasitized by plants.

This symptom was called "Nikaye Spore Plant Pregnancy Hereditary Disease." The origin of this disease was caused by a spore plant. After this plant reached maturity, it would spray spore seeds to reproduce. If an animal inhaled these spores, the spores would temporarily parasitize in the animal's organs, coexist peacefully with the animal until it died, and use its corpse as nutrients to grow.

There was only one exception: if a pregnant woman touched these spores during pregnancy, the spores would parasitize the fetus.

After the fetus was born, there was initially no abnormality, and it was even healthier and smarter than its peers, just with a slightly stronger appetite. But during the period of 10–12 years old, these plant spores would begin to grow, first parasitizing the outside of the blood vessels throughout the body with root systems, attempting to use this opportunity to evolve from plant characteristics to semi-plant, semi-biological.

"Nikaye Spore Plant Pregnancy Hereditary Disease" was fatal when it reached the blooming stage, and it was extremely difficult to treat even before that. The symbiosis of the spore plant before the blooming stage was tricky enough, let alone its clinging to the surface of blood vessels and replacing part of the host's nervous system.

Su Xiao picked up the potion formula and found that it wasn't a conventional potion formula, but a secret potion formula of the Wizard faction. This was by no means an antidote, but used an artificial, more active, and more ferocious parasite to devour and replace the spore plant. This parasite had a dependency on the host; it wouldn't kill the host and would assist the host in fighting or escaping when the host was in danger.

Xiao was strong, that was true, but from this Wizard secret potion formula, one could see the gap between a lone wolf and a major faction. The life-saving method that Xiao had searched for for years without a trace, the Moon Witch Seresilis took out after searching through the secret treasure vault once.

Su Xiao put away the Wizard secret potion formula. With his level of pharmacy, he wouldn't dare to say he could concoct a perfect grade, but concocting a bottle of high-quality secret potion was no problem. By then, he could have a good showdown with Xiao.

He went to the planting area to take a look at the Black Maple Tree. The dozens of 【World Core (Fragments)】 inserted into the soil under the tree made the Black Maple Tree grow vigorously, and its height was about to break through nine meters. After reaching this level, the Black Maple Tree would grow to the specification of a tree crown, and the main trunk would become increasingly thick. It would only continue to grow taller after the tree trunk reached a certain specification.

The ugly and dull strange bird raised by Amu flew over and landed on a tree branch. It plucked a Black Maple leaf with its beak, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

The strange bird fell straight down and kicked its legs. It looked like it had died, but in fact, this strange bird could digest Black Maple leaves, but eating one would make it sleep for several days.

Ever since this strange bird ate a Black Maple leaf once, no animal in this 1.5-hectare planting area could beat it. Then it guarded the Black Maple Tree every day. Except for Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Beni, whoever approached the Black Maple Tree would be beaten by it. This dull bird even wanted to challenge Su Xiao one-on-one, which showed its courage. However, it never stopped other animals from coming to drink the Eternal Spring Water.

Seeing that the Black Maple Tree was growing well, Su Xiao left the planting area. He sat on the carpet and took out treasure chests one by one. Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Beni, who had just made up, gathered around, and Baja also gathered around. As for Amu, he was more fond of filling his own stomach.

This time, Su Xiao obtained a total of 1/ treasure chests, and the quality was very high. He took out the Fate Sovereign, and with the power of luck added to him, his Luck attribute reached 122 points. This good luck, which could even be felt, greatly increased his confidence in opening the treasure chests. He first picked up the 【Soul Treasure Chest】 and opened it.

【After opening this treasure chest, you can obtain 5–30 Soul Crystals.】 【You have opened the Soul Treasure Chest.】

【You obtained 6 Soul Crystals.】...

Su Xiao remained calm on the surface, but he re-examined his 122-point Luck attribute. It seemed that this value was gradually becoming 12.2, or even 1.22. But fortunately, this was just an illusion; the 122-point Luck attribute was still there.

【You have opened the Gem Box.】

【You obtained Leech Parasite Breath (Origin-level Gem).】

A random draw from White quality to Eternal-level gems. Obtaining an Origin-level gem, which was only lower than the Eternal level, was already very good. After checking the attributes, Su Xiao found that this thing was a small top-tier gem that could add a blood-sucking effect to insect-type abilities.

Among the preferences of insect-type ability users, the first was the unshakable "Breeding Attribute," and the second was the "Blood-Sucking Attribute." This gem could be sold for more than 90,000 soul coins without any problem.

【You have opened the Secret Treasure Box x3.】 【You obtained Origin Fruit x1.】

【You obtained Dawn Fragment x2.】

The existing "Dawn Fragments" reached 5, and it was not far from the 10 needed to manufacture Amu's Dawn Great Shield.

"Origin Fruit" was a good thing and could be used to concoct "Origin Potion (Perfect)." One bottle was offered at 36,000–40,000 Precipitated Glaze by the Goblin Chamber of Commerce.

Su Xiao was quite satisfied with this price. Subsequently, he would use these Precipitated Glaze to purchase 9–10 "Original Sin Cores" in the Abyss Shop and feed them to the "Book of Original Sin." Only when the "Book of Original Sin" was powerful enough could it continue to seal the existing five original sin items.

As for why he didn't purchase more "Origin Fruits" at once and sell a large amount of "Perfect Origin Potions," it was because the treacherous goblin merchants would definitely lower the price when selling in large quantities, and it might even be pressed below 20,000 Precipitated Glaze per bottle. Also, the audience for "Perfect Origin Potion" was very small.

Su Xiao picked up three 【Source Quality Treasure Chests】. This gain was heavy-duty. If he opened a Source Quality or Supreme Source Quality, he would be rich.

【You have opened the Source Quality Treasure Chest x3.】 【You obtained Dead Soul Source Quality x1.】

【You obtained Resentment Source Quality x1.】

【You obtained Strength Source Quality x1.】

Seeing this opening result, Beni on the side immediately looked up. She almost laughed out loud. At the same time, opening "Dead Soul Source Quality" and "Resentment Source Quality" could be called a spectacle. The reason was that "Dead Soul Source Quality" was known as the trashiest source quality, with a selling price of 80 ounces of Space-Time Power.

It is worth mentioning that if you want to buy source quality, unless you meet a seller who is particularly short of soul coins, it is always traded with Space-Time Power. This is an unspoken rule of source quality trading. As for how to use Space-Time Power later, there is no shortage of channels to use this thing. Submitting it to the paradise where you are located can yield a considerable gain, except for Reincarnation Paradise. If "Dead Soul Source Quality" is the king of trash ranking at the bottom among many source qualities, then "Resentment Source Quality" is its number one little brother, with a price of 85–90 ounces of Space-Time Power. As for the number two little brother, it must be "Corrupted Source Quality," with a price of 87–90 ounces of Space-Time Power.

But to say Su Xiao was unlucky, the "Strength Source Quality" at the bottom represented that his luck was currently booming. Opening ten 【Source Quality Treasure Chests】 and getting a "Strength Source Quality" would be very good. Opening three and getting one was simply explosive luck. This opening result fully reflected the accuracy described by the Goddess of Luck: a luck electrocardiogram.

Speaking of which, the stall that Beni bought at the gathering place before was still hanging a purchase of "Strength Source Quality" for 1,800 ounces of Space-Time Power, but there wasn't even anyone asking. It seemed that the purchase price needed to be increased to 3,000 ounces of Space-Time Power per piece.

【You have opened the Scarlet Treasure Chest: Gluttony.】 【You can make one of the following choices.】

1. Obtain 5%–45% of the soul coins held by the enemy before death. 2. Obtain 1–3 pieces of the enemy's equipment (random draw).

3. Obtain 10 items from the enemy's storage space (random draw).

Before fighting the four Death Brothers, after they showed their true forms, the four merged into Gluttony. Preliminary analysis showed that these four brothers shouldn't have left any soul coins on hand, as it was not long after the start of a world progress.

And for obtaining 10 items from the enemy's storage space, Su Xiao had a deep impression of this reward. The shampoo obtained at the First Tier had been used until now, and there was still at least half a ton left.

【You have chosen to draw equipment.】

【This Death Ranger left no equipment after death.】 【This draw is over.】

Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's expression was calm. For Scarlet Cards or Scarlet Treasure Chests, he wouldn't be surprised by any situation. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and Beni on the side were all dumbfounded. How could a Death Ranger with the strength of Gluttony have no equipment?

The answer was, there was indeed some, but Gluttony's ability system was based on its own physique, developing devouring-type abilities. The few Origin-level defensive gears it possessed had their durability drop wildly after being slashed a few times by a certain Law-Extinguisher, and then they were all blown up by a direct kick.

【Prompt: You performed an invalid opening of a Scarlet Treasure Chest. Due to the special profit nature of the Scarlet Treasure Chest, this is a conventional situation. After successfully triggering this type of situation, you can obtain corresponding gains.】

【You obtained Scarlet Badge (one-time consumable).】

【Scarlet Badge (Killing Item): Can be used on a target of the Paradise faction, thereby marking this target for 24 hours. After successfully killing the marked target, you will 100% obtain a "Thick Scarlet Treasure Chest" (this Scarlet Badge cannot be used on Hunters, contractors, or staff members of Reincarnation Paradise).】

Su Xiao picked up the Dark Twins' treasure chest and just chose to open it. Golden light burst forth! 【You have opened the Eternal-level Treasure Chest: Twins.】

【You obtained Primordial Fragment x1.】

【You obtained Twin Heart (Full Rating Eternal-level Equipment).】 【Twin Heart】

Origin: Witch World. Quality: Eternal-level.

Category: Accessory (Accessory unique characteristic).

Warning: After wearing this accessory, you will not be able to wear any other accessories, including rings, finger rings, pendants, badges, etc.

Prompt: This characteristic has absolute priority. Durability: 80/80 points.

Equipment Requirement: Real Intelligence 600 points.

Equipment Effect: Light/Dark (Core Passive). If the wearer is a "Light-type" ability, after activating this ability, all their abilities can be converted to "Dark-type." If the wearer is a "Dark-type" ability, after activating this ability, all their abilities can be converted to "Light-type."

Prompt: All "Dark-type" abilities of the holder of this equipment will have the "Dark Matter" attachment characteristic. Enemies attached by dark matter will be slowed and have all resistances reduced.

Prompt: All "Light-type" abilities of the holder of this equipment will have the "Light Flame" characteristic. Light flame can ignite "Dark Matter," causing real flame damage while causing the enemy's physical attributes to continuously decrease (after the light system on the enemy is extinguished, the reduced physical attributes will gradually recover within the next 30–48 hours).

Prompt: Each conversion of Light/Dark characteristics will consume a certain amount of stamina. The initial time is 1–5 seconds. If you are familiar with this process, you can complete the conversion of Light/Dark characteristics instantly.

Rating: 6,000 points (Eternal-level equipment rating is 3,000–6,000 points).

Introduction: Born in darkness, yearning for light, yet, after being soaked in the world's greed, hatred, and anger, finally fell into darkness again. Price: 12,000 soul coins.

【Twin Heart】 must be very popular. Although the drawbacks of this thing are not small, the Eternal-level full-rating equipment is truly powerful. This is no longer simply assisting an ability system to become stronger, but allowing it to have a qualitative change.

【You have opened the Eternal-level Treasure Chest: Black Hole.】

【You obtained Explosive Technique Destroyer (Technique/Basic Skill Scroll).】

This gain is slightly awkward. Those who need it can't afford it, and those who can afford it already have their own ability systems. It seems it needs to be sold to the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. The family forces in high-tier worlds are the real buyers of this thing.

【You have opened the Eternal-level Treasure Chest: Ancient Dragon God.】

【You obtained Primordial Fragment x3.】

【You obtained Cold Will (Special Equipment).】

【Cold Will】

Origin: Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Ebeias, the soul of the old dragon in the Eternal Ice Plain. Quality: Overlord-level.

Category: Special Equipment.

Durability: 1,280/1,500 points.

Equipment Requirement: Ancient Dragon faction (because you possess the Oath Badge: White Dragon, you can use this equipment).

Equipment Effect: Body-Protecting Cold (Core Passive). After activating this equipment, this equipment will add a body-protecting aura to you and friendly targets within 100 meters, reducing the Sun-type damage you receive by 50% (including real Sun damage, this is a faction mutual restraint characteristic).

Prompt: This equipment cannot be effective at the same time as "Inscription Base: God Sacrifice."

Rating: 6,000+++++ points (Overlord-level equipment rating is 1–6,000 points).

Introduction: This is one of the treasures of the Ancient Dragon faction.

Price: Cannot be sold, can be transferred.

Su Xiao picked up the 【Eternal-level Treasure Chest: Malignant Witch】, felt the heavy and solid feel of this treasure chest, and opened it.

【You have opened the Eternal-level Treasure Chest: Malignant Witch.】

【You obtained Primordial Fragment x3.】

【You obtained Concentrated Abyss Source Quality Crystal (???).】

【Warning: Detected Hunter's current comprehensive combat power, please do not attempt to use this item or break the seal of this item.】

It really opened one of the two supreme source qualities, "Abyss Source Quality." There is a problem: the characteristic data of this thing shows that this thing is no longer considered source quality, but a particularly dangerous crystalline substance. A total of no more than ten have ever been produced.

This made Su Xiao think, is it that every time a Transcendent Native World is opened, a 【Concentrated Abyss Source Quality Crystal】 is formed? The 【Concentrated Abyss Source Quality Crystal】 of the Witch World was with the Primordial Witch, which was normal. However, this thing should have no benefits, otherwise, with the Primordial Witch's style of doing things, she would definitely have left this thing to the Wizard faction instead of bringing it to the Moon Temple.

【You have opened the Mysterious Treasure Chest (???).】

【You obtained Butterfly Insect Fragrant Bait x5 (can use this item to fish for Dragon-Eyed Whales in the Void River).】

There were three treasure chests left, but the 【Abyss Treasure Chest】 inside looked truly dizzying. It wouldn't be too late to open it after the luck stabilized a bit later, so as not to open another big-daddy-level original sin item. He already held five original sin items, and if he had any more, he really might not be able to hold on.

Su Xiao traded all the items that needed to be sold to Beni. Beni, who had finished the ice cream, went out, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja had already formed a group to go out and roam. It was always like this; the three of them would come back to sleep soundly after they had roamed enough.

After Su Xiao went out, he went straight to the Attribute Enhancement Hall. Half an hour later, the cabin door behind him closed. 【Welcome to use Attribute Enhancement Cabin No. 1805.】

【Current available real attribute points: 88 points.】

Su Xiao checked his own attributes. A moment later, his way of allocating attribute points was: Strength +21, Agility +21, Stamina +21, Intelligence +25. He activated the attribute enhancement cabin he was in.

Hum~

The attribute enhancement cabin began to operate. Su Xiao sat on the ground. He had long been accustomed to this level of improvement. An hour later, the attribute enhancement cabin stopped operating. The blood energy on his body had grown a lot. After opening his eyes, he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The improvement hadn't ended yet. He still had two portions of "Strength Source Quality" unused. He took out one portion of Strength Source Quality. 【Absolute Strong, X (Passive)】

Law-Extinguishing Power: After absorbing Strength Source Quality, current real Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence are permanently increased by 6%.

"Strength Source Quality" was sealed in translucent resin. Su Xiao crushed it with one hand, and colorless energy spread out, merging into his body. Feeling the source quality energy wandering through his limbs and bones, he restrained his aura. Using source quality to improve himself could not have the slightest negligence. If there was any mistake, it would be a disaster.

The translucent source quality in his body gradually turned into an active energy like a sweet spring, which was quickly absorbed by his body, strengthening his physique.

When one portion of Strength Source Quality was absorbed, Su Xiao took out another portion of "Strength Source Quality" and crushed it. An hour later, a little blood energy drifted from his body. Even though he had absorbed "Strength Source Quality" many times, the risk was still not low. He took out "Vitality Source Quality." Anyway, he would have to use "Primordial Fragments" to stabilize himself in the end. The more source quality he absorbed at once, the more he earned.

After crushing the "Vitality Source Quality," he found that this was different from absorbing "Strength Source Quality." He absorbed the "Vitality Source Quality" very smoothly, and his own primordial vitality grew a lot.

【You obtained a permanent increase of 200,000 health points.】

One portion of "Vitality Source Quality" increased health by a full 200,000 points. Even if he absorbed more later, this improvement amount would decrease, but this was also an extremely rare resource.

Su Xiao took out all the existing "Primordial Fragments." According to convention, this time he was afraid he would need to consume more than ten "Primordial Fragments" to stabilize himself. The "Primordial Fragments" in his hand melted one by one, and a large amount of primordial power surged out from them, merging into his body. This feeling of comfort throughout his body made people couldn't help but be a little addicted to it. A moment later, the feeling of loss of control caused by the "huge" improvement in physical fitness vanished.

Contrary to expectations, this time only ten "Primordial Fragments" were consumed. After checking the "Absolute Strong" ability, he learned that this ability didn't have an unlimited increase in the consumption of "Primordial Fragments." As long as the amount of source quality Su Xiao absorbed at one time didn't exceed 3–5 portions, stabilizing his physique once would consume ten "Primordial Fragments."

After meditating for a while, Su Xiao's aura stabilized. He checked his own data: Real Strength: 634 points.

Real Agility: 634 points. Real Stamina: 634 points. Real Intelligence: 634 points. Charisma: -25 points.

All four main attributes broke through 600 points, which showed how bountiful the harvest in the Witch World was this time. Although there was still a long way to go to 800 points for all four attributes, it was no longer as remote as before. Facts proved that the "Absolute Strong" ability obtained by consuming 11 "Primordial Fragments" to break through to Absolute Strong was stronger the later it got.

When seeing the Charisma attribute, Su Xiao's gaze became a bit solemn. Before, the Charisma attribute was still -22 points. Why did it drop by 3 points this time? He hadn't done too many killing acts in the Witch World... Uh~, no, that's not right, he let Barbatos crush a world.

After leaving the attribute enhancement cabin, Su Xiao went straight to the trading street. On the way, he sent a message to Reed, taking a photo of the "Black Blade: Desolate Hungry Wolf" wrapped in black cloth and sending it to him.

Just as Su Xiao arrived at the entrance of Reed's forge, Reed, who was waiting anxiously inside, stepped forward and half-took, half-snatched the "Black Blade: Desolate Hungry Wolf," without noticing that Su Xiao had already left the forge silently.

Reed's attention was entirely on the "Black Blade: Desolate Hungry Wolf." He came to the workbench and stood the "Black Blade: Desolate Hungry Wolf," wrapped in black cloth, diagonally on the knife rack, and then untied the thick black cloth wrapped around it.

When he saw the blade of the "Black Blade: Desolate Hungry Wolf," the look in Reed's eyes was different. His hand stroked the cold blade, unable to believe that the dark liquid metal could have such hardness and sharpness.

Looking at the legendary weapon in front of him, Reed couldn't help but show a smile on his face, looking forward to the day when he could also forge such a legendary weapon. But after admiring it for a few seconds, he suddenly frowned because he found that the handle wrapping was obviously a circle thicker. Which bastard wrapped so many layers on the handle? It was simply gilding the lily! Reed immediately untied the leather wrapping on the handle. As the Dark Prison Dragon Skin inside was revealed, the tightly wrapped leather strips, the delicate craftsmanship, and the just-right sense of wear made Reed's face show a smile again. He was about to throw the large pile of leather strips in his hand onto the workbench when he suddenly felt the texture in his hand was somewhat familiar. This nightmarish texture made the corners of his eyes twitch fiercely.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the large pile of long leather clothing strips dragging in his hand, his expression twisted and he gradually put on a mask of pain. He was too familiar with this thing. He had repaired and upgraded it yesterday, and today, this defensive gear was presented in strips in his hand. It was the "Night of Wild Hunt."

"This, this bastard."

Reed was about to roar when he suddenly discovered that because the "Night of Wild Hunt" wrapped around the handle was untied, a crown-like ring tied with a string at the end of the handle was swinging left and right. He stared at it, and the more he looked, the more he felt he had seen this thing in ancient books. With a bit of trepidation, Reed's fingers touched the ring to check its attributes.

'King's Crown.'

'One of the five most difficult pieces of equipment to repair in history.'

"Night of Wild Hunt" + "King's Crown," double the "happiness" struck Reed. The mask of pain on his face was already vivid. He didn't know when the blacksmith's hammer was already in his hand. He opened the contact list and frantically contacted Su Xiao, wanting to treat Su Xiao to a meal.

At this time, Su Xiao, who was rushing to the Skill Upgrade Hall, naturally received Reed's message prompt. Facing his old friend's "enthusiastic" treat, he closed these message prompts silently. Moreover, he temporarily blocked Reed's messages this morning. In this way, his conscience felt much more secure. ===== CHAPTER 3852 =====
