Chapter 41: Balance Mechanism

【Yes/No to open treasure chest (green)】

Choosing to open, several items appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

【You opened the treasure chest (green), obtained the following items】

【Obtained 900 Paradise Coins】

【Obtained Kagune organ (S-class)】

【Obtained Evil Spirit Roar (green)】

Evil Spirit Roar

Equipment effect: Roar (active). After activating this effect, it will ignore pain for 20 seconds. During the period of ignoring pain, every time you are attacked, your attack speed will increase by 5%. (The maximum attack speed increase is 50%. After the Roar effect disappears, this bonus becomes invalid.)

Introduction: Let me plunder, everything.

Price: 2700 Paradise Coins.

Holding the ring in his hand, Su Xiao pondered for a while.

Although this ring doesn't increase any attributes, it comes with a top-tier ability: ignoring pain for 20 seconds.

This doesn't look like much, but pain cannot be underestimated in battle. Intense pain may lead to slow reactions, leading to defeat.

But if you lose pain permanently, it is definitely not a good thing. This ability to ignore pain for a short time is similar to a strong stimulant.

This ring allows him to burst out with full combat power at the moment of near-death. Although it is only for a short 20 seconds, it is precious.

After life value is lower than 10%, you will enter a weak state. After lower than 5%, most creatures lose their ability to resist.

If Su Xiao's life value is lower than 5% during battle, he can use this ring to temporarily ignore the pain of his body and fight the enemy to the death.

Directly wearing the ring on his finger, Su Xiao felt a strange energy circling on the ring. He could activate this strange energy at any time.

Opening the equipment hiding function, the ring disappeared. Su Xiao nodded with satisfaction, looking at the Kagune organ in his hand. This is Gecko's Kagune organ.

The Kagune organ is spherical, the size of a chicken egg, with some bright red patterns clinging to the surface, and the whole is dark red.

This thing has a hard texture and feels heavy in the hand, not looking like an organ at all, but more like some kind of hard object.

Su Xiao will not transplant Gecko's Kagune into his body. Not to mention that pit-father death rate, Ghouls themselves are not high-level creatures, so it's not worth taking the risk.

Su Xiao already has a profession, and he will not choose other bloodlines. If the two conflict, the possibility of death is extremely high.

As for the two fusing and mutating into a higher-level bloodline? That is completely dreaming.

Not dying is already worth celebrating. Even if they fuse by luck, two unrelated abilities will only give birth to garbage abilities.

Just like the combination of a tiger and a dog, it will never produce an elephant.

Putting the Kagune organ into the storage space, even if this thing has no use, it can be sold. A white material with a rating of 9 has high value in Reincarnation Paradise, especially materials that can forge weapons. There are many people in the trading market willing to buy them.

Opening this green treasure chest, the items obtained are satisfactory. Overall, the luck is not bad.

After opening several treasure chests, Su Xiao summarized a few things: creatures that can drop treasure chests are generally stronger, while some weaker creatures will not drop treasure chests at all.

But even if you get a treasure chest, whether you can get a generous reward is an unknown.

After opening the treasure chest, Su Xiao lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Tomorrow morning, the CCG will be able to respond to him. If there are any accidents, Su Xiao still needs to join the Ghoul force quickly, otherwise, he cannot afford the price of mission failure.

Around seven o'clock the next morning, Su Xiao's door was knocked.

"White Night, the news from headquarters is here." It was Kureo Mado's voice.

Su Xiao had already washed up and opened the door directly, seeing Kureo Mado wearing a white robe.

"Did the CCG headquarters agree to let me join?"

"Of course."

Getting a clear answer, Su Xiao felt more at ease in his heart.

"This is your employment file and documents. I didn't expect your father to be an investigator. This helps a lot with your joining the CCG."

Su Xiao took the employment file, and Reincarnation Paradise immediately gave a prompt.

【Hunter completed main mission (1): Camp selection. This mission has no rewards. Subsequent missions opened.】

【Main mission (2): First Class Investigator.】

Difficulty level: lv. 3.

Mission introduction: Quickly improve your position in the CCG to prepare for subsequent missions.

Mission information: Use any method to improve your status, exterminate Ghouls, bribery, etc.

Mission time limit: Twenty days.

Mission reward: 1 attribute point, 1500 Paradise Coins.

【Hunter successfully joined the CCG, camp contribution value opened.】

【Current position: Third Class Investigator, CCG contribution value 0/50. Exterminating Ghouls can obtain contribution value. After the contribution value is full, you can improve your position.】

【Contribution value can also be used for purchasing items within the CCG, or making Quinque, etc.】

The subsequent mission finally appeared. According to the previous prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, he needs to complete a total of three main missions to return to Reincarnation Paradise.

But just after he successfully joined the CCG, Reincarnation Paradise sent a 'bad news'.

【Announcement: A 'Qiyuezhe' has joined a camp. The 'Qiyuezhe' is enough to interfere with the camp balance. Balance mechanism opened.】

This is an announcement, not just a prompt to Su Xiao, and it prompts all Qiyuezhe in the Ghoul derived world.

Except for Su Xiao, the main mission (1) of all other Qiyuezhe has changed, from the original choice of joining a camp to only being able to join the Ghoul camp.

This is a balance mechanism of Reincarnation Paradise, so as not to make one camp too weak.

Su Xiao's expression was somewhat ugly. He also received a prompt. The current situation is that he is the only one in the CCG camp, and other Qiyuezhe are all divided into the Ghoul side.

From before, Su Xiao was confused about one thing, which is that his identity as a Hunter seems to only get preferential treatment in Reincarnation Paradise, while in the derived world, Reincarnation Paradise treats everyone equally.

Su Xiao didn't complain about anything. This actually makes sense. The feeling Reincarnation Paradise has always given him is cruel, cold, and fair.

However, thinking about it carefully, it is not without benefits for him to be alone in the CCG camp, at least there will be no other Qiyuezhe stirring up trouble.

"Bai Ye, the higher-ups assigned you to the 14th ward. The situation there is somewhat complicated, and your strength is very much needed."

Kureo Mado revealed a look of regret because Su Xiao was not assigned to the 20th ward.

"Understood. I have a feeling that it won't be long before I return to the 20th ward."

In Kureo Mado's confused gaze, Su Xiao left the CCG branch in the 20th ward with the appointment file.

The location of the 14th ward is next to the 20th ward. Sometimes if the pressure in the 14th ward is too great, the CCG branch in the 20th ward will also go to support, which shows that the 14th ward is not very peaceful.

Before leaving the 20th ward, Su Xiao suddenly remembered whether he should go to the coffee shop called Anteiku to see. After all, a large number of Ghouls gathered there. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
