Chapter 5

Mia nodded, but immediately shook her head.

In the Scrap Terminal, there is one thing that is most scarce, and that is food. Those refugees who don't think about production and only rely on scavenging for a living are basically hovering on the edge of hunger.

Su Xiao took out a few pieces of compressed biscuits from his bosom; this was emergency food he carried with him.

He had observed that there was a forest in the distance of the "Scrap Terminal," and he had a gun in his hand, so he wouldn't worry about food.

Mia took a piece of compressed biscuit with some fear; she had never seen this kind of food.

Under Su Xiao's guidance, Mia peeled open the compressed biscuit and took a careful bite.

"Delicious~."

The girl, who had been hungry for a day, began to eat ravenously.

"Your name is Mia, right? Take me out of here, and these biscuits are all yours."

Mia, who had finished the compressed biscuits in her hand, stared straight at the few pieces of compressed biscuits in Su Xiao's hand and swallowed her saliva.

"Okay, but you can't hurt me."

Su Xiao didn't answer the other person, but climbed out of the dilapidated house, and Mia, who had recovered a bit, followed closely behind.

"Where are you going? You're not a resident of the 'Scrap Terminal', are you?"

Su Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, cold light appeared in his eyes, he threw a piece of compressed biscuit on the ground, and then stepped on it to crush it.

"Take me out of here, don't ask anything else."

If the girl Mia showed any abnormality, Su Xiao's hand, which was tightly holding the gun, would be aimed at Mia's forehead.

Mia was startled by Su Xiao's actions and took a few steps back.

"Okay~, okay."

Mia dared not speak again and walked in front in quick steps.

"Take me to the entrance of the 'Goa Kingdom'."

Su Xiao looked around vigilantly. From time to time, he could see refugees with ferocious looks. After those refugees noticed the gun in Su Xiao's hand, they immediately put away their greedy gazes.

Recalling the information obtained from the anime, Su Xiao began to think about the next countermeasures.

The so-called "Scrap Terminal" is actually a large trash dump, because the "Goa Kingdom" dumped a large amount of domestic trash outside the city, which led to the current scene.

Those refugees with ferocious looks were originally just residents of the "Goa Kingdom." These people either committed serious crimes or offended nobles, so they were driven here.

After the trash rotted, it produced a blue smoke with toxins, which spread in the "Scrap Terminal," constantly eroding the lives of the refugees.

The most obvious manifestation is that Su Xiao's health had dropped from 100% to 98%.

In the "Scrap Terminal," there are no doctors, no food, crime and disease spread here. This is a lawless zone, and everything is based on the strength of power.

Through Mia's guidance, Su Xiao soon walked out of the "Scrap Terminal" and came to a high wall.

A high wall built of black stone stood tall, and a small city gate appeared in Su Xiao's line of sight.

"Only to here. The 'Goa Kingdom' has laws. Refugees cannot enter the city. Once discovered, they will be executed."

Although Mia was talking to Su Xiao, her eyes were fixed on the compressed biscuits in Su Xiao's hand.

Throwing the compressed biscuits to Mia, Su Xiao ignored the other person. Mia also ran away directly. Leading Su Xiao was only because of the temptation of food, no other reason.

The city gate of the "Goa Kingdom" was wide open, and a few guards stood on both sides of the city gate.

This was just a side gate, and its function was to facilitate the dumping of trash.

Although those guards looked lazy, cold light flashed in their eyes from time to time. These guards should kill people often, killing those refugees who intended to break into the city.

Su Xiao hid on the side and didn't rush to enter the city. He was waiting for an opportunity.

It was impossible to fight those guards head-on. The physical fitness of the residents of the Pirate World was unusually strong. The girl Mia was actually able to recover to normal in a short time after being hit hard by him, which made Su Xiao vigilant.

Su Xiao guessed that the attributes of those guards were at least above ten points, and possibly even higher.

One hour, two hours, until three hours later, it was noon, the temperature rose rapidly, the weather became hot, and the opportunity Su Xiao was waiting for finally appeared.

A carriage full of domestic trash drove out of the city, and a pungent foul smell spread far away. Those guards didn't even look at the carriage, but subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

"Gentlemen, do you need a routine check?"

The coachman stopped the carriage, somewhat afraid of those guards.

"Hurry up and go, it stinks to death."

The guard waved his palm in annoyance, without any intention of checking.

Su Xiao, in the distance, raised his eyebrows after seeing this scene and followed the carriage in quick steps.

After the carriage went deep into the trash mountain, it found an open space and began to dump trash. The coachman, who had been submissive before, suddenly had a dagger at his waist. The law of the jungle was the rule of the "Scrap Terminal."

Lighting a cigarette to cover the stench, the coachman picked up a shovel and began to clean the carriage full of stains.

While the coachman was busy and sweating profusely, Su Xiao, like a wild cat, came silently behind the coachman. Just as Su Xiao was about to knock the coachman unconscious, he stepped on a half-broken glass cup under his feet.

"Snap." A crisp sound came, and the coachman's body shook.

Su Xiao was also startled. In this dirty "Scrap Terminal," there was a deep layer of trash under his feet, which was very soft when stepped on, and he couldn't detect what was under his feet at all.

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Su Xiao pounced forward directly.

That coachman was not a kind person either, turned around, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and stabbed directly at Su Xiao.

The coachman's ferocious expression made Su Xiao understand that the other person wanted his life.

Su Xiao's gaze began to turn cold. In this mission world, it's either you die or I die. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Raising the flintlock pistol in his hand, Su Xiao aimed the muzzle at the coachman's head.

If it were an ordinary person being pointed at by a gun, they would definitely stop or retreat immediately, but this coachman was different; he actually pounced faster.

Su Xiao pulled the trigger expressionlessly. The hammer behind the gun body hit the flint, sparks splashed out, the gunpowder in the barrel was ignited, a large amount of gunpowder was ignited in the narrow space, bursting out powerful kinetic energy. With the fire and smoke overflowing, the lead bullet in the barrel erupted.

"Bang."

Thick smoke rose, and a pungent smell of gunpowder spread. A lead bullet sank directly into the coachman's skull. The coachman's forward-rushing figure stopped abruptly, was directly knocked back two meters away, and died after his body twitched twice.

【Prompt: You killed the Black Market Merchant】

【Your talent "Spirit Eater" activated, permanently increasing mana by 5 points, current mana 65 points.】

【You obtained a Treasure Chest (White)】

【This is your first kill, Storage Space opened (2 square meters). After returning to Reincarnation Paradise, the Storage Space can be upgraded in size using Paradise Coins.】

The prompt from Reincarnation Paradise let Su Xiao know that this was not a coachman at all, but a black market merchant. He should have been using the identity of a coachman to conduct some kind of transaction in the Scrap Terminal.

After the black market merchant died, a wooden box floated above the corpse. The box was white overall and only the size of a palm.

Su Xiao tried to pick up the wooden box floating in mid-air. Although it was only the size of a palm, it felt heavy in his hand.

【Treasure Chest (White), Yes/No to open】

Su Xiao didn't open the 【Treasure Chest】 but put the 【Treasure Chest】 and the 【Dilapidated Flintlock Pistol】 into the Storage Space.

With a thought, the 【Dilapidated Flintlock Pistol】 appeared in his hand. Su Xiao was very satisfied with the newly appeared Storage Space; this was a very practical function. If he made good use of this ability, it would be of great help to him in completing the mission.

It was not safe here, so Su Xiao didn't choose to open the 【Treasure Chest (White)】. If the treasure chest gave him a golden light after opening, he would be in danger. Now the primary thing is to enter the capital city of the "Goa Kingdom."

Su Xiao took off his coat and put on the clothes of that black market merchant.

Hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao pounced directly into the sewage on the ground. A foul stench came, and his clothes and cheeks were stained with a large amount of sewage, making it impossible for people to see his face clearly.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Su Xiao controlled the horse somewhat unskillfully and headed into the city.

At this time, he was holding a dagger in his hand, which was the dagger in the hand of that black market merchant, but this dagger was a bit different from what he had imagined.
