Chapter 942

Inside the treasury, various items were neatly arranged.

Su Xiao walked between the wooden shelves displaying the collection. He only had ten minutes, and four minutes had already passed.

Among the various items, choosing a weapon was the safest bet. Even if a weapon's quality were lower, it wouldn't be too much of a loss. If he chose a piece of gold-quality equipment, he would strike it rich. Moreover, equipment above gold quality might appear here.

Although Su Xiao didn't know what quality was above gold, he could be certain of one thing: there was definitely a quality higher than gold items. This was beyond doubt.

He only had one chance to choose, yet there were over a million items in the collection. It was no wonder Alice dared to let people choose items from her treasury at will; with such odds, the possibility of finding something good was very low.

Su Xiao stopped his pace because he saw a familiar item. It was a jagged "ore." The surface of the "ore" was uneven, and the whole thing was a fiery red.

This was not ore, but a large piece of Sun Remnant, the main material for manufacturing Apollo.

In the past, Su Xiao needed a piece of Sun Remnant the size of a thumbprint to manufacture one Apollo. The piece appearing before him now was at least the size of a fist.

Conservatively estimated, this thing was worth around several hundred thousand Paradise Coins, or even more.

Choosing a known item carried very low risk, but Su Xiao didn't do so. Sun Remnant wasn't necessarily better the more you had; apart from manufacturing Apollo, it didn't have many uses. This was enough to manufacture nearly a hundred Apollos, but without other materials, this thing was just a meteorite and couldn't be manufactured into a high-power bomb.

Remembering the location of this large piece of Sun Remnant, Su Xiao continued deeper into the treasury.

The wooden shelves in the treasury were all identical in style. After just a few minutes of wandering, Su Xiao actually felt a bit lost. It seemed this place was not only a treasury but also a natural labyrinth.

Continuing forward, time gradually passed, and Su Xiao had two minutes left.

There were too many various items on the wooden shelves, so many that Su Xiao felt dizzy. He didn't even know how many contractors had died in this castle.

Su Xiao shifted his gaze, quickly scanning a shelf before ignoring it.

However, in the next moment, his gaze pulled back. A firearm on the shelf caught his attention. The appearance of this gun was somewhat similar to a flintlock, but unlike backward flintlocks, it didn't use a hammer to trigger; it just had a similar overall shape.

Under normal circumstances, Su Xiao wouldn't have much interest in this type of firearm. It looked like a close-combat firearm, and he basically didn't use firearms in close combat.

However, this firearm, which looked like a flintlock but was actually extremely precise in construction, caught Su Xiao's attention. It wasn't because of anything else, but because of a red pattern on the firearm.

The entire gun was pitch black, about 35 centimeters long, with a slender barrel. A red pattern was outlined on the barrel and the streamlined grip. Above the firearm, there was a loading port similar to a Mauser sniper rifle. Judging by the depth of the loading port, the capacity should be between 5 and 6 rounds, and the bullet type should be rifle or sniper bullets.

After careful observation, Su Xiao discovered that the bullets for this firearm were very special. He noticed the peculiar firing pin inside the firearm. Judging by the construction, if he loaded ordinary bullets, this gun would very likely explode.

This was indeed the case. Su Xiao found a string of bullets beneath the firearm. There were five bullets in total, fixed in a row by a metal bracket, which could be pressed directly into the loading port above the firearm—all five loaded at once.

Su Xiao picked up the string of five bullets. The bullets were about 6 centimeters long, with completely transparent casings filled with a yellow solution. At the center of each bullet was a metal needle the thickness of a matchstick, soaked in the yellow solution.

Based on the construction of the bullets, Su Xiao felt that what truly caused the damage was the metal needle in the center. Those yellow solutions were some kind of high-performance explosive liquid, replacing conventional gunpowder.

Putting down the special bullets, Su Xiao took an item out of his storage space to compare. A moment later, he stood frozen in place—the patterns on the two items were very similar.

"Time is up."

The Wolf Butler appeared, somewhat stealthily.

"Is that so?"

Su Xiao picked up the firearm from the wooden shelf and looked at the Wolf Butler.

"I choose this."

Su Xiao didn't choose the Sun Remnant worth hundreds of thousands of Paradise Coins, but instead chose a firearm that leaned toward close combat.

Holding the grip with one hand, the streamlined handle was very suitable for gripping. The gun wasn't light, but for Su Xiao, who had 80 points of Strength, it was very light.

"Are you sure?"

The Wolf Butler narrowed his eyes.

"Of course I'm sure. I choose this."

"..."

The Wolf Butler was somewhat dissatisfied. This gun was a collection piece that Alice was very fond of. However, no matter how fond Alice was of it, Su Xiao's choice was part of the game reward segment, and the Wolf Butler couldn't interfere.

The Wolf Butler walked up and took out a blank card from inside his collar. He placed the card on the firearm, and a sealing spell appeared on one side of the card. This was to save resources; the sealing spell on this gun was very precious.

As soon as the sealing spell on the gun disappeared, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

Durability: 62/62

Attack Power: 10–153

Equipment Requirements: Strength 40, Agility 40.

Equipment Effect 1: Special Ammunition (Passive): Wild Hunt's Judgment can only use special ammunition; the explosive needle inside the special ammunition is the primary means of attack.

Equipment Effect 2: Death Penalty Explosive Needle (Active/Passive)

Passive Effect: After the special ammunition hits an enemy, the unstable liquid inside the bullet will explode. The explosion can reduce 60% of the enemy's total defense, with the effect lasting 0.19 seconds. At the same time as the explosion, the explosive needle inside the bullet will use the kinetic energy generated by the explosion to pierce the enemy. Because the distance is extremely close, the explosive needle is almost impossible to dodge.

Active Effect: After the explosive needle pierces the enemy's body, it can be detonated at any time via the mechanism on the grip of Wild Hunt's Judgment. If not detonated, the explosive needle will expire after 40 minutes. Each explosive needle will deal 80–100 points of damage to the enemy. If the enemy is hit by five explosive needles and all five are detonated simultaneously, this detonation will deal 500 points of damage to the enemy and cause the enemy to enter a "Vulnerable" state. In the Vulnerable state, the enemy's physical defense is -35%, healing effects are -20%, and movement speed is -10%, with the effect lasting 10 minutes.
