Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Growth

Leaving the cold drink shop, Su Xiao walked thoughtfully down the streets of Reincarnation Paradise.

According to the information provided by Xi Luoluo, his first priority is to go to the central area of Reincarnation Paradise and learn about the dozen important buildings there.

First familiarize himself with Reincarnation Paradise, then enhance his attributes, and after that, spend the Paradise coins he’s earned.

He currently has a total of 8400 Paradise coins. Originally, he had more, but he spent over 3000 Paradise coins to recover from his injuries and paid Xi Luoluo 50 Paradise coins, leaving him with only this amount.

After some preliminary exploration, Su Xiao already understands the value of Paradise coins.

Ordinary contractors typically acquire between 1000 to 2000 Paradise coins after experiencing their first Derivative World, which is only enough to purchase a weapon.

However, the Derivative World he experienced was extremely dangerous, so he earned a lot more Paradise coins, totaling over ten thousand.

Walking down the streets of Reincarnation Paradise and looking at the diverse contractors, Su Xiao suddenly found himself somewhat fond of this place.

Reincarnation Paradise is like a Primitive Forest, its cruelty ripping off everyone’s masks of falsehood, revealing their true nature.

Though it is cruel here, it is also simpler.

If someone holds a grudge, they might as well settle it with life and death. The arena within Reincarnation Paradise is prepared just for these people.

After about an hour of walking, Su Xiao arrived at the central area.

Because he did not cover his appearance, many people cast their gazes at Su Xiao, but no foolish bystanders dared to provoke him.

There are a few possibilities for not covering one’s appearance. Perhaps one is a newcomer or a powerful monster who disdains hiding their face.

What Su Xiao didn’t know was that he currently embodied both aspects, being both a newcomer and a supremely powerful monster.

The inheritance of the Shadow of Annihilation Law boosted him with as many as 14 attribute points.

Acquiring attribute points is not easy. Ordinary contractors need to go through 4 to 6 worlds to barely gain 14 attribute points, and that’s with good luck.

Upon reaching the central district of Reincarnation Paradise, a dozen magnificent buildings came into view.

Unlike the workers’ shops, these buildings were much taller and stood out significantly.

The [Attribute Strengthening Hall], [Equipment Strengthening Hall], [Trial Field], [Arena]...

Su Xiao could only clearly see these four buildings. The rest were veiled in mist, suggesting he lacked the authority to access them yet.

Su Xiao walked directly into the [Attribute Strengthening Hall]. As soon as he stepped through the door, he felt a blur in front of his eyes. When he came to his senses, he was already inside a small steel compartment.

”Click, click~.”

The sound of machinery operating surrounded him, and a screen appeared before Su Xiao.

[Welcome to the Attribute Enhancement Cabin, please pay the activation fee of 100 Paradise coins.]

This was a situation he was well aware of; everyone entering the Attribute Strengthening Hall would be randomly teleported to an enhancement cabin, after which they would need to pay to use it.

Paying 100 Paradise coins, a prompt appeared on the screen before him.

Power: 12-1 (Equipment bonus temporarily ineffective)

Agility: 10

Stamina: 6

Intelligence: 12

Charm: 3

[The Hunter may allocate attribute points freely, current attribute points: 4]

[Beep, it is verified that the Hunter’s compatible attributes are Power, Agility, and Intelligence. Please prioritize enhancing these three attributes.]

The hint from Reincarnation Paradise didn’t surprise Su Xiao.

After inheriting the Shadow of Annihilation Law, he received the hint that once his three compatible attributes reached twenty points, there would be additional changes.

Every contractor chooses compatible attributes, although they typically decide for themselves. For example, Melee Contractors would choose Power or Agility, while Mages opt for Intelligence, and so on.

Su Xiao’s situation is somewhat unique. After inheriting the Shadow of Annihilation Law, his compatible attributes became fixed.

Moreover, frustratingly, his compatible attributes had a peculiar trait: the difference between the three attributes couldn’t exceed three points; otherwise, the high attributes couldn’t be enhanced in the Attribute Strengthening Hall.

This undoubtedly limited Su Xiao’s rapid growth. If he focused on enhancing just one attribute, it could quickly reach twenty points.

But there was a benefit as well; developing multiple attributes simultaneously, as long as he could keep pace with contractors of the same tier, would make him unquestionably one of the strongest.

Su Xiao currently had 4 attribute points. After some thought, he allocated 1 point to Power and the remaining 3 points to Agility, making his attributes balanced.

[The enhancement begins. As extreme pain accompanies the process, would you like to activate the anesthesia function? This function is free of charge.]

”No activation.”

Su Xiao answered resolutely. Xi Luoluo had inadvertently mentioned before that it was best not to choose the anesthesia function during attribute enhancement, as it could affect the enhancement effect.

However, most contractors choose the anesthesia function because the feeling when enhancing attributes is said to be worse than death.

To become stronger than others, one must endure what ordinary people cannot.

The enhancement cabin started to operate gradually, and a kind of bone-piercing pain followed.

”No wonder others choose the anesthesia function.”

Su Xiao’s entire skin began to turn red, cold sweat trickled down his forehead; the sensation of enhancing attributes was quite exhilarating.

...

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao, soaked in sweat, walked out of the Attribute Strengthening Hall.

Although the pain was immense during the attribute enhancement, once the initial extreme pain was overcome, the feeling of gradually becoming stronger was quite satisfying.

He wasn’t sure how others felt, but he liked this feeling.

Only the strength gained through hardship is the most reliable power; he wouldn’t choose that so-called anesthesia function, not today, not ever.

Actually, Xi Luoluo only mentioned it casually. Besides an extreme few ”perverts,” most contractors would choose the anesthesia function.

After enhancing the attributes, Su Xiao’s bare attributes became Power 12, Agility 13, Intelligence 12.

If the bonus from the Dead Wife’s Pendant is included, Su Xiao’s Power also reached 13, equal to his Agility.

Though Su Xiao became much stronger now, he wasn’t satisfied.

With the sudden increase in various attributes, he was utterly unaccustomed, making even walking a bit awkward.

His consciousness couldn’t fully adapt to the main body yet, which would require a significant amount of training, with no shortcuts.

But this was not an issue. The [Trial Field] within Reincarnation Paradise is currently his best option.

Glancing at the [Test Field] ahead, Su Xiao shook his head.

He hadn’t rested since leaving the Derivative World; inside it, constant vigilance against various dangers made resting peacefully impossible.

Activating the brand on his arm, Su Xiao disappeared on the spot and appeared in the exclusive room, which is a welfare provided by Reincarnation Paradise; as long as he is within, he can return to the exclusive room anytime.

The comfortable temperature of the exclusive room made Su Xiao drowsy. As he lay on the slightly soft ground, he fell into a deep sleep within five minutes.

The prolonged tension in the Derivative World left him utterly exhausted.
