Chapter 605

Su Xiao's brows were tightly locked. He first checked the details of the main quest.

【Main quest: Arrive at Yorknew City】

Difficulty level: Lv. 2

Quest introduction: Due to a teleportation location error, the Hunter must arrive at Yorknew City before the auction begins.

Quest information: Yorknew City is a prosperous and decadent city controlled by multiple gangs.

Quest duration: 6 natural days

Quest reward: 1000 Paradise Coins

Quest penalty: Deduct 1000 Paradise Coins and force a return. This derived world will yield no gains.

……

As expected, the initial main quest was very simple. The reason was the error in the teleportation location. Reincarnation Paradise could fix the error, but the space-time energy consumed would need to be borne by the contractors. Perhaps it was determined that most contractors could not afford this burden, so Reincarnation Paradise did not fix the error but instead issued a simple main quest, giving a small benefit: 1000 Paradise Coins.

Not all contractors were like Su Xiao, whose comprehensive evaluation was generally between A- and S. Most contractors were between D+ and A.

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao's speed of becoming stronger was so fast. Contractors who had experienced the same number of derived worlds were definitely not as strong as him.

Closing the main quest, the frowning Su Xiao opened the hunting quest. This hunting quest gave him a very bad feeling.

【Hunting quest: Clean up the Gentleman Alliance】

Quest introduction: Use any means to completely eradicate the Gentleman Alliance.

Quest information: The Gentleman Alliance is composed of 5 rule-breakers. The Hunter must clean up these five rule-breakers.

Quest duration: Before leaving this derived world.

Quest reward: Golden Honor Medal ×1, one multi-choice opportunity for a derived world (before entering the next derived world, the Hunter can choose one of three derived worlds to enter).

……

"Five?"

After reading the quest information, Su Xiao habitually took out a cigarette.

Five rule-breakers, and they had formed a small alliance. This was undoubtedly challenging the limits of Reincarnation Paradise's rules. They shouldn't be called the Gentleman Alliance; calling them the Death-Seeking Alliance would be more appropriate.

Moreover, Su Xiao thought of a very bad situation: these five rule-breakers might have sensed the existence of Hunters, which was why they were huddling together. Not only that, if the five rule-breakers were scattered all over the world, just thinking about it gave him a headache.

The hunting quest must be completed. Su Xiao didn't want to go to a war world to be a "referee." He didn't want to experience that kind of "soul-stirring" experience a second time.

Su Xiao decided to go to Yorknew City first. The Gentleman Alliance would move toward that direction; at this point in time, that was where the most benefits were.

"Stop looking, Xiang Bubu, let's go."

Su Xiao had only taken two steps when his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Oh? Looks like luck is on my side."

【Warning, warning, detected traces of rule-breakers within one kilometer. Tracking function activated.】

【Rule-breakers are moving. The Hunter must complete the hunt as soon as possible.】

A simulated map appeared before Su Xiao. This simulated map was a detailed terrain of the surrounding 1 kilometer. On it, two red dots were moving rapidly. These were the rule-breakers, and there were two of them.

Su Xiao flipped onto Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back.

"East, 30° direction."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately understood Su Xiao's meaning and sprinted out of the alley.

The streets of Qilu City were brightly lit. This was a gambling city, and the foot traffic at night was even higher than during the day. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang running on the street inevitably attracted the attention of pedestrians.

A girl wearing a duckbill cap glanced at Su Xiao, her eyes filled with surprise.

"This is... too arrogant, but that feeling of being covered in blood aura, he must be a guy strong to the point of being a freak."

This girl was a contractor. Not only her, but there were three other contractors across the street.

Because of the deviation in the teleportation location, the 146 contractors who entered the Hunter world at this time were all gathered in Qilu City.

If it were in the past, Su Xiao wouldn't be so high-profile, but now was a great opportunity to clean up the rule-breakers. It would be best to solve all five of them in Qilu City. The deviation in the teleportation location was a god-given opportunity.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sprinted for two minutes, Su Xiao signaled for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to stop, because those two rule-breakers had also stopped, in the next block.

The World-Severing Line popped out. Su Xiao climbed onto the roof of a building over fifty meters high and quickly ran to the edge on the other side of the roof. He concealed his aura and looked down.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the street. A black car was parked on the side of the road with two people sitting inside. On the passenger side window, Su Xiao saw a few drops of blood.

Stealing a car right after entering a derived world—this was very different from the style of a contractor.

Although they were over a hundred meters away, Su Xiao could sense their auras.

One person's aura was violent, like a gunpowder barrel ready to explode at any time. The other person's aura could only be described as disgusting. Su Xiao, with his keen perception, seemed to smell a foul odor—no, it was the stench of a corpse.

The two people in the car were talking about something. Because the distance was too far, Su Xiao couldn't hear them.

A sneaky figure approached the black car. It was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had already activated "You Can't See Me."

At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was disguised as a stray dog. Except for the weight being wrong, no other flaws could be seen.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang walked past the car wheels, wagged his tail, and a bug was stuck to the car door.

The rule-breaker in the passenger seat suddenly turned his head. After lowering the window, he looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with suspicion. This rule-breaker's lips were chapped, his face was pale, and there were faint cracks on his skin.

"What's wrong, Dry Corpse?"

The rule-breaker in the driver's seat had just joined the Gentleman Alliance and was full of vigilance toward everything.

This "newcomer" had a sturdy build. When he exhaled, the air in front of his mouth and nose distorted. The temperature inside his body was extremely high.

"Nothing, just a stray dog passing by. No. 5, don't be nervous. When contractors see us, they only have the option of kneeling and begging for mercy."

Dry Corpse's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

"I'm not called No. 5..."

The newcomer rule-breaker just wanted to speak when Dry Corpse turned his head.

"Once you join the Gentleman Alliance, you must use a code name. Did you forget the boss's words so quickly? Your former name and code name must be discarded. Afterward, you will have a new title. Now you are No. 5. By the way, I'll remind you, you are the third No. 5."

No. 5 stopped talking, but in those eyes, it seemed like flames were burning.

"The boss is too slow. How long do we have to wait?"

Dry Corpse took out a piece of raw meat. He stuffed the raw meat into his mouth and began to chew it carefully. Blood flowed from the corner of Dry Corpse's mouth.

Su Xiao heard their conversation. He was a bit hesitant: should he act now, or wait for their boss to come and wipe them all out at once?

Under normal circumstances, Su Xiao could deal with one rule-breaker, but two would start to be strenuous. As for three, it was very likely he wouldn't be a match.

After considering for a moment, Su Xiao decided to act. He would wipe out these two guys first. If he waited for half a day and all five rule-breakers gathered, it would be a joke. By then, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to make a move.

The Spider Queen appeared in his hand. This was Su Xiao's first time using the upgraded Spider Queen.

He pulled the bolt to chamber a bullet. Because the distance was relatively close, he adjusted the "Optical Infrared Detection Scope" to 4x.

Concealing his killing intent, Su Xiao set up the Spider Queen and brought his head to the scope.

The crosshairs were aimed at the rule-breaker in the driver's seat. He would deal with the weaker one first. To test the power of the Spider Queen, he chose the torso as his target.

With his current firearm mastery level, he no longer needed the aiming function that came with the Spider Queen; his judgment was more accurate.

Holding his breath, his finger pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The gunshot tore through the night sky. The butt of the gun pressed against Su Xiao's shoulder. His body tilted slightly backward; the recoil of this gun was too strong, and his 58-point strength attribute could barely handle it.

Cracks appeared on the concrete roof under his feet, showing the extent of the recoil.

A bullet flew out of the muzzle, breaking through layers of air waves. Because the speed was too fast, the bullet head began to turn red. Fortunately, the bullet was made of special metal, otherwise, it would have affected the flight trajectory. This was also the reason why the bullets were expensive.

The bullet first broke through the car roof, encountering no resistance, as if the metal roof didn't exist.

Almost instantly, the fiery red bullet head drilled into No. 5's chest. Dense cracks appeared near the wound broken by the bullet, and the bright red muscle tissue was clearly visible. No. 5 was like a ceramic jar hit by a heavy blow.

With a crack, the shattered body splashed inside the car. No. 5's torso was directly smashed and exploded. A pale rib was stuck in Dry Corpse's shoulder.

The bullet's momentum didn't diminish; after penetrating the car chassis, it left a pitch-black hole in the road.

Blood slid down Dry Corpse's face. His eyes widened to the extreme. He swallowed hard with difficulty and looked down at the head on his legs. He was a bit stunned.

Spent a day checking data, then started watching the Hunter anime. Got hooked while watching, then realized it was 6 PM. Covering face~
