Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 620: Chapter 14: Harmonious Small Group?

This small group isn’t open to just anyone; you must meet two of three conditions: one attribute over 50 points, one ability exceeding LV.20, and possessing a Purple Quality weapon.

Don’t think Purple weapons are common; most Second Tier Contractors have Blue or Purple equipment. Purple weapons aren’t abundant.

As for Dark Purple weapons, only a small number of strong Second Tier Contractors have them. Light Gold ones are even rarer, owned only by large adventure teams.

However, in Su Xiao’s understanding, a Second Tier Contractor should at least have one Dark Purple quality weapon, but he was wrong, very wrong.

When a Contractor revealed a Purple Quality +5 weapon, Su Xiao frowned. It wasn’t much, but the envious gazes of other Contractors made Su Xiao wonder if it had some special attribute.

This misconception is related to his comprehensive evaluation each time he concludes a Derived World, where he digs deep and thus achieves high ratings, increasing the likelihood of receiving high-quality equipment.

Few in Reincarnation Paradise are as fearless as Su Xiao. Most Contractors have families and act cautiously, fearing they might die in a Derived World and never see their families again.

For instance, if Su Xiao had the detailed information about the Cyclops, he wouldn’t recruit anyone and would have taken Bubu Wang with him directly.

Ordinary Contractors are different; they first form small groups to reduce risks.

If a Light Golden Treasure Chest drops this time, after excluding Mr. A and Stone’s 30% share, the other 12 Contractors will split the remaining 70%, each amounting to the equivalent of a Purple Treasure Box at most.

Mr. A began reviewing the partial weapon details, skills, attributes, etc., disclosed by each Contractor. Knowing the Cyclops has 70 power attribute points, Contractors who dared to gather here weren’t weak.

The elder was the strongest, holding a Dark Purple Wand. Although it had only a 160 rating, a lower end of Dark Purple quality, it was still Dark Purple equipment, and the fiery gaze of the Contractors couldn’t be faked.

”Sir, your strength is undeniable.”

”You’re pretty good too, hiding your trump card. Don’t call me sir; old wolf will do just fine.”

Although Old Wolf was a bit displeased, he didn’t voice any further objections.

”Here’s to a successful cooperation.”

Mr. A extended his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, Old Wolf shook it.

”Oh, take a look at this skill, too. It will help with combat command.”

Old Wolf revealed a skill publicly, and seeing its level, the Contractors gasped.

[Twisted Laser LV.27 (Active skill)]

”I understand; during the battle, you’ll be in a core position of the team.”

Mr. A seemed satisfied, showing no signs of the previous disagreement with Old Wolf.

”We’re just waiting on you now, friend. Meet two of the three conditions.”

Mr. A sat across from Su Xiao, who hesitated about what role to adopt in the group: close combat, main tank, or long-range sniper?

Close combat was clearly out; if Mr. A saw Sword Technique Master LV.23, it’d be unlikely he’d let him join. As for showing Blue Steel Shadow? Better not, it’d be wiser to show Sword Technique Master.

Close combat clearly wasn’t an option, and as for tank...

Su Xiao’s energy shield was impressive. He once blocked one kick from Seven Gates Kai with an energy shield of 300 points strength, and now its limit was 400. But without revealing the energy shield, he didn’t count as a main tank, so that wasn’t an option either.

Regarding long-range sniping ability, full-level Firearms Proficiency LV.30 plus the Spider Queen could likely pass unnoticed without much scrutiny.

Exhibiting sniping ability was certainly wiser than exposing close combat skills, as his sniping ability, though strong, was within the acceptable range for ordinary Contractors.

”Friend?”

Mr. A spoke again.

”Oh? Sorry, I was considering something just now.”

Su Xiao revealed part of Firearms Proficiency LV.30’s attributes to Mr. A. It wasn’t his core ability, so it didn’t matter if it was exposed.

”LV.30?!”

Mr. A was taken aback and scrutinized Su Xiao.

”How should I address you, friend?”

”Bai Ye.”

”Um... Bai Ye, what is your firearm development direction? Don’t misunderstand; it concerns your role in the team.”

”Sniper.”

”A sniper huh...”

Mr. A put on a pondering expression.

”If it’s a sniper, the attribute requirements can be relaxed somewhat, but the quality of the sniper rifle must be disclosed. Consider it, Mister Bai Ye.”

Though Mr. A remained outwardly calm, his heart was clearly racing. Having a wandering main tank was already a stroke of luck, and now with Mage Old Wolf...

And now, the team was about to have a sniper with Firearms Proficiency LV.30. What did that signify? Such a lineup was on par with the core setup of some mid-sized teams.

After a moment of thought, Su Xiao revealed some attributes of the Spider Queen.

[Spider Queen]

...

The series of question marks made Mr. A’s mouth twitch, but seeing several key points, he took a deep breath.

Dark Purple, Caliber: 17.36mm, with three effects included.

These details indicated it was a large-caliber heavy sniper rifle with a rating certainly not less than 200.

”Welcome aboard, Mister Bai Ye.”

Mr. A showed a happy expression; with the tank and mid-to-long-range firepower in place, taking down the Cyclops should be achievable.

When everyone had joined the temporary team, Mr. A disclosed the detailed information about the Cyclops.

After reading the information, Su Xiao finally understood why Mr. A dared to target the Cyclops, even though it had 70 points in power attributes. The reason was simple: the Cyclops had low agility, only 34 points, and 59 points in physical attributes, not too high, so a dozen people attacking it should work.

As long as they could withstand the creature’s frontal assault, it was up to the Contractors to perform as they wished thereafter.

”Mr. A, why is the team leader position vacant?”

A perceptive Contractor asked.

”Good question. I am not suited to be the team leader. I’m a close combat fighter, which isn’t best for overall command. I recommend Old Wolf as team leader; he’s a Mage, viewing the battlefield during combat will help command and reduce casualties.”

Hearing Mr. A’s words, Old Wolf was stunned, and so were all the Contractors.

A young mother healer’s eyes flickered, looking at Mr. A with noticeably more kindness.

”Mr. A’s magnanimity...it makes Old Wolf feel inferior.”

Old Wolf smiled awkwardly, seemingly apologetic for previous acts of forming cliques.

”It’s nothing; everyone has personal agendas, but our opponent is formidable. Friends, our enemy is not just the Cyclops. You should know this. While we gather for the sake of profit, we must unite, or else we are just a rabble!”

”Mr. A speaks the truth.”

The young mother healer stood in support of Mr. A, and the other Contractors agreed as well.

Su Xiao surveyed the crowd present: Mr. A (close combat), Old Wolf (Mage), Stone (main tank), young mother healer, and himself were the core members of the small group.

”Is this team composition a coincidence...”

Su Xiao murmured. The small group appeared harmonious, with Mr. A and Old Wolf setting aside past grievances. Was this really the case?

Bubu Wang beside him was very excited, as if discovering a new world. Today it realized that Contractors, whom its master usually kills with a few slashes, were actually quite interesting.
