Chapter 705: Outskirts of Rendong Temple

A scroll appeared in Su Xiao's hand, emitting a pale golden light.

【Sealing Scroll: Mole of Love】

Quality: Pale Gold

Type: Sealing Scroll (Seals the 'Mole of Love' inside).

Effect: After using this scroll, a 'Mole of Love' will appear at the current location, and this sealing scroll will be destroyed.

Mole of Love (Passive Skill): After use, the Luck attribute will be permanently fixed between -1 and 1. When negotiating with females, the Charm attribute increases by 20 points, and the 'Soul Hunting' effect is added. This effect will perform a Will attribute check on the female; if the female fails the check, she will fall madly in love with you.

Hint: If the hunt fails, the negotiation with the female will be judged according to the Charm attribute +20 effect.

Score: 305 points.

Introduction: An extremely precious sealing scroll, can be opened.

Su Xiao looked at the scroll in his hand, feeling conflicted. If he called this skill trash, it had a +20 Charm effect when negotiating with females.

If he encountered a female with high status and weak willpower in a derived world, the Soul Hunting ability would be a god-tier skill. For example, in the Hunter World where Su Xiao was previously, if he could control a female high-level official in the V5 department with the Soul Hunting ability, the benefits would be astonishing.

However, this thing actually reduced the Luck attribute, which made Su Xiao extremely resistant to it.

His luck was already hit-or-miss, and after spending a fortune to craft Destiny Redemption, his Luck attribute finally reached 2 points.

Now, asking him to permanently fix his Luck attribute between -1 and 1 was something he absolutely could not accept. That meant he would be unable to use the 'European Emperor' state. A permanent fix meant there was basically no possibility of increasing his luck.

It is common knowledge in Reincarnation Paradise that the Luck attribute is very difficult to increase, so any ability or equipment that reduces luck is defined as trash. Equipment is fine; it can be placed in the storage space when not in use. As for skills, especially passive skills, they are absolutely unacceptable.

"This broken roulette."

Su Xiao made a gesture to throw away the scroll in his hand. This pale golden quality, yet actually trashy ability, left him unsure of how to handle it for a moment.

Sell it? Stop joking. No one would buy it. Even if it could increase the Charm attribute by 20 points, this Charm attribute is not a complete Charm attribute; it only targets females.

Just as Su Xiao was about to put the scroll away, he unintentionally saw the introduction of this scroll. The introduction above clearly stated, 'Extremely precious sealing scroll, can be opened.'

Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. This was intriguing. Logically, shouldn't the scroll's introduction describe the Mole of Love? Why would it describe the scroll itself?

Since he had nothing better to do, Su Xiao began to study the scroll in his hand. After a long while, his expression was one of surprise.

"So that's how it is!"

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. After some research, he discovered that it was this scroll that was judged to be of pale golden quality, not the Mole of Love. Pale gold was the quality of the scroll itself.

The scrolls obtained in the past were all labeled 'Skill Scroll,' but this time it was a 'Sealing Scroll.' As for the Mole of Love, it was just a type of ability sealed within the scroll.

Su Xiao tried to pry off the mole pattern in the center of the scroll with his hand, but this crude method clearly wouldn't work.

Su Xiao continued to experiment—soaking it in water, scraping it with a knife. After testing many methods, Su Xiao found the way to use this scroll: inject mana to open it.

After injecting about 200 points of mana, light emerged on the sealing scroll.

【Yes/No to open the Sealing Scroll? If this scroll is opened, the sealed ability 'Mole of Love (Purple)' will dissipate.】

"Open."

The mole on the sealing scroll gradually dissipated, and the attributes of this sealing scroll also changed.

【Sealing Scroll: None】

Quality: Pale Gold

Type: Sealing Scroll (No ability sealed inside).

Effect: Can seal one ability. This ability can be stolen from a corpse within 10 minutes of death. The enemy must be a biological entity (abilities of energy entities like Heroic Spirits cannot be stolen), and the corpse must maintain at least 60% integrity.

Hint: The maximum level of the ability that can be sealed is Dark Purple level.

Hint: Sealing an ability requires consuming 800 mana + 3 Soul Crystals (Medium) + 10,000 Paradise Coins.

Score: 280 points.

Introduction: Extremely precious sealing scroll, already opened.

This time, Su Xiao couldn't bear to throw this scroll away. This was an opportunity to freely seize an enemy's skill. After killing an enemy in battle, he could use this scroll to steal an ability from the enemy's corpse.

Although there were many restrictions, and the scroll would be destroyed and become ineffective after learning the sealed ability, this did not affect the value of the scroll.

Su Xiao made a decision in his heart: in the future, when checking item information, he must check carefully. He had almost missed this pale golden quality scroll. Today's incident was a lesson; one cannot judge things by their appearance.

Su Xiao put the scroll away with satisfaction. One must be cautious when stealing an enemy's skill; after all, the cost is not small.

After putting the scroll away, having nothing to do, Su Xiao looked at Matou Sakura. Although they hadn't spent much time together, the little girl's mental state had changed significantly. Although she couldn't be called innocent now, she was much better than the doll-like state she was in before. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Charm attribute could only be described as invincible.

Being stared at by Su Xiao, Matou Sakura was clearly a bit afraid, timidly shrinking toward Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's side.

"Do... do you want to drink? I'll give it to you, no bugs."

Matou Sakura handed over the yogurt again. At this time, there were already three empty yogurt bottles at her feet.

"Not drinking."

Su Xiao took out a deck of special tarot cards from his storage space. This thing was used to test psychological states. He had studied psychology for a period of time, although he wasn't exactly proficient.

He spread several special tarot cards in front of Matou Sakura. The cards were: Death, Witch, Cat, Horse, Chocolate.

"Pick one."

Matou Sakura, biting the straw, pointed at the Cat without hesitation with her small finger.

Su Xiao put away the tarot cards and drew a few more. Just like that, after Matou Sakura made 6 choices, Su Xiao roughly judged the other party's psychological state. As for whether it was accurate, he wasn't sure; after all, his psychology was only at a basic level.

Judging by the current situation, Matou Sakura was in the early recovery stage of 'Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.' She liked to listen to others' orders in everything she did now, meaning her self-awareness was not strong.

After confirming this, Su Xiao put away the tarot cards. Matou Sakura's mental state was very good now, at least she wouldn't show any resistance. Once Matou Kariya died, Matou Sakura could immediately replace him, allowing Su Xiao to continue staying in this derived world.

However, Matou Kariya's survival ability was extremely strong. Although he had taken a shot from Diarmuid in the chest earlier, only about two hours had passed, and the guy's injuries had already recovered by more than half.

After staying in the abandoned warehouse for a few hours, at exactly 12:00 that night, Su Xiao walked out of the warehouse with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, followed by Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura.

The group headed straight for the outskirts of Fuyuki City, which was the original site of Rendong Temple.

Along the way, Su Xiao was very cautious. The Apostle's Eye floated high in the sky, detecting the surrounding half-kilometer.

Confirming that no one was following and after circling the outskirts a few times, Su Xiao arrived at the original site of Rendong Temple. What met his eyes was a wasteland. This was his second time here.

Just as he arrived here, his upper garment felt hot. It was that piece of Ghost Goat skin.

Taking out the Ghost Goat skin, this palm-sized sheepskin floated into the air and began to burn automatically.

As the Ghost Goat skin burned, the surrounding air also began to burn. If one looked closely, they would find that it wasn't the air burning, but a layer of barrier.

When a large hole was burned into the unknown barrier, the Ghost Goat skin turned into ashes, and the unknown barrier began to heal slowly.

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before rushing into the hole in the unknown barrier. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang behind him also rushed in. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's loyalty, let alone a barrier, even if Su Xiao jumped into a volcanic crater, it would jump in with him.

Boom~

A roar echoed in his ears. Su Xiao seemed to have entered an interdimensional space. Looking around, he was in a waist-deep wasteland. In the distance, a temple could be vaguely seen. That was Rendong Temple.

【Warning: The Hunter has entered the outskirts of Rendong Temple!】

【Warning: The Hunter has entered the outskirts of Rendong Temple!】

【Warning: The Hunter has entered the outskirts of Rendong Temple!】

Three warnings appeared one after another. The prompt was dark red, as if outlined in blood, giving people an ominous feeling. ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
