Chapter 498

Although he didn't know what would happen when strengthening the Intelligence attribute, it was unavoidable.

He allocated 7 attribute points to Intelligence and waited for the judgment of 'fate'.

The unbearable feeling he had imagined didn't appear; instead, his mind became increasingly clear.

The strengthening of the Intelligence attribute lasted only 5 minutes and ended without any intense pain or unbearable itching.

It made sense; with the small, plastic-like physiques of those mages, if they were to endure the pain of strengthening Strength, they would be left with lifelong trauma even if they didn't die.

【Intelligence attribute is an affinity attribute of Shadow of the Law Destroyer. Naked Intelligence attribute has reached 50 points. The Hunter may choose one of the following rewards.】

A. Spell Super-Amplification: Increase Mana by 150 points.

B. Wise Man: Intelligence +10.

C. Blood Song Shadow: Willpower +12 points.

Su Xiao was a bit confused. What was Willpower? Was it the literal meaning?

After inquiring with Reincarnation Paradise, he learned that Willpower is the endurance to pain, resistance to charm-type skills, etc., belonging to an invisible attribute.

Willpower has many functions, and Reincarnation Paradise didn't provide all the data.

When choosing attribute rewards, Su Xiao discovered a trick: the reason his 50-point attributes had rewards was because of the Shadow of the Law Destroyer. Options containing the word 'Shadow' were generally not weak and rarely appeared.

He decisively chose C. The attribute strengthening chamber began to operate, and this time it ran even longer than when strengthening Strength.

A long time later, the attribute strengthening chamber stopped, and Su Xiao used the remaining 1 attribute point to strengthen Stamina.

Now, Su Xiao's naked attributes were as follows:

Strength: 50

Agility: 50

Stamina: 43

Intelligence: 50

Charisma: 5

Luck: 1

Su Xiao coughed lightly. His main attributes were already ten times his Charisma attribute; the gap was a bit large.

Fortunately, his Charisma attribute had reached the level of an ordinary person. After reaching 5 points, this stat had nothing to do with physical appearance, but mainly depended on temperament.

Although Su Xiao wasn't as explosively handsome as the protagonists in various stories, he definitely wasn't ugly; it was just that his temperament was too fierce.

Su Xiao had recently had a feeling that because he killed too many people, his Charisma attribute might slip...

After considering for a while, Su Xiao decided to appropriately strengthen Charisma less in the future; at the very least, it shouldn't become a negative number.

Taking Bubu Wang back to his exclusive room, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed and took out all his gains from the Trial World.

The gains from the Trial World were not small, which was related to his death-seeking style. Others hid to survive the trial once they had enough food, but he went wherever it was dangerous, eventually killing his way to the Black Forest.

Placing the harvested items in front of him, his gains were as follows:

Soul Crystal (Medium) x13.

Phantom Demon Stone (Dark Purple, used for strengthening)

Hard Carapace (Blue, forging material)

Curved Claw Blade (Purple weapon)

Demon Box (Treasure chest item)

Su Xiao needed to open the treasure chest first, then sell some items, and then strengthen various abilities.

Moreover, the new Arena had opened. If time permitted, Su Xiao planned to go to the new Arena to experience it.

Picking up the pitch-black Demon Box, as per his habit, Su Xiao took out a cigarette and lit it with the Fate Redemption lighter.

Opening the Demon Box, an item appeared in his hand.

【You have obtained Burning Demon Heart.】

Burning Demon Heart

Quality: Dark Purple

Type: Consumable

Effect: Can use this item to enter the 4th Demon Modification Institute. The Demon Modification Institute can transform humans into a demon physique.

Rating: 260

Introduction: The risk of demon physique modification is extremely high, and one must master the Demon Language to trade with the demons at the 4th Demon Modification Institute and pay the modification fee.

A heart burning with orange flames pulsed in Su Xiao's hand. This item counted as a ticket; using it would allow entry into a Demon Modification Institute.

Su Xiao had no interest in becoming a three-meter-tall black-skinned brute. Besides, he already had the Shadow of the Law Destroyer profession and didn't need other bloodlines.

Leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao headed straight for the Trading Market. He had many things that needed to be sold.

Arriving at the stall he often used, unfortunately, someone was already there. He rented a stall nearby and placed several items on it.

Hard Carapace (Blue) was priced at 4,000 Paradise Coins. This item was excellent forging material for armor, and it would easily sell for 4,000 Paradise Coins.

Shattered Spirit +5 (Green quality) was priced at 18,000 Paradise Coins. Shattered Spirit was equipment he had phased out. Although it was green equipment, its attributes were strong, and it was already strengthened to +5; this price wasn't high.

As for the Burning Demon Heart, Su Xiao had no clue.

The price of this item was hard to judge, so he simply set a high price of 200,000 Paradise Coins and waited for someone to negotiate.

Five minutes after the stall opened, the Hard Carapace (Blue) sold, and 4,000 Paradise Coins were credited.

Not long after, a Some Qiyuezhe stopped in front of the stall.

"This gun for 10,000 Paradise Coins."

This brother was a 'straightforward person', cutting the price by nearly half immediately.

"18,000 coins, no bargaining."

Except for the Burning Demon Heart, nothing on the stall was negotiable. Su Xiao wouldn't set too high a price, as that would be a waste of time; he wasn't a merchant.

"11,000, can't go any higher. This is just a green quality firearm."

"Forget it if you're not buying."

Su Xiao stopped speaking. The Some Qiyuezhe grinned, knowing 18,000 Paradise Coins was the lowest price.

"18,000..."

After hesitating for a long time, the Some Qiyuezhe shook his head and walked away. It wasn't that Shattered Spirit wasn't worth 18,000 Paradise Coins, but that this piece of equipment had reached its limit and had no possibility of becoming stronger. As for continuing to strengthen it, only a fool would do that.

Half an hour later, over a dozen Contractors gathered in front of the stall, as dark purple items were rare.

One of the Contractors picked up Shattered Spirit, put it down after a while, and picked it up again later. It was clear that the Some Qiyuezhe really liked this gun.

"This gun... will you sell it for 3,000 Paradise Coins?"

Although Su Xiao remained calm on the surface, he was speechless inside. Another one who could bargain even harder had arrived.

"Minimum 18,000. The strengthening cost is very high."

18,000 Paradise Coins was just the cost price, but an awkward problem arose: green quality weapons were generally used by newcomers, and ordinary newcomers couldn't come up with such a 'huge sum' of 18,000 Paradise Coins.

"Wait for me for half an hour."

The Some Qiyuezhe hurried away. It didn't take half an hour; he returned in twenty minutes, likely having sold everything he owned.

"17,000 Paradise Coins, can't go any higher. If there wasn't a place to sell blood, I would have gone to sell blood."

This Lv. 5 Some Qiyuezhe was going all-in, hoping to improve his strength with Shattered Spirit.

"Fine."

Su Xiao didn't want to keep waiting for that 1,000 Paradise Coins, so he simply sold it.

Only the 【Burning Demon Heart】 remained on the stall. An awkward situation arose: this time, there wasn't even anyone to bargain.

An ominous feeling rose in Su Xiao's heart. Would this item be stuck in his hands?

After waiting bitterly for 3 hours, even the onlookers were fewer, with only passing Contractors occasionally taking a look.

Su Xiao thought to himself that it was over; it was truly stuck in his hands.

"Um... can this heart be cheaper?"

A weak-looking youth stood in front of the stall. The youth looked a bit like a cross-dresser and was dressed neutrally.

"Of course."

Finally, a customer had arrived. Su Xiao made a decision: he would sell it for 100,000 Paradise Coins; he couldn't let this cross-dresser run away.

The weak-looking youth saw Su Xiao's gaze and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Big... big brother, I'm just buying something, don't... don't look at me like that."
