Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 683: Chapter 77: Foodie

The Blue Steel Shadow and Energy Shield both consume a lot of Mana. With this item, Su Xiao’s endurance in battle will significantly improve.

However, this item’s value is exceptionally high. The Golden Dagger has a rating of 380, while this gemstone’s rating is 310+.

Moreover, this item is very popular. As long as the Black Sail Merchant Group is willing to bid, many powerful Mage Lords will compete to buy it.

Seeing Su Xiao picking up the ’Heart of the Ocean’, the Black Merchant could only try to calm his emotions, as he was well aware of this item’s value.

”This item is nice.”

”Um... it is nice.”

The Black Merchant hesitated whether to trade three Dark Purple Weapons and the Heart of the Ocean for the Super Destruction Fist and Golden Dagger.

The Black Merchant didn’t favor the Super Destruction Fist, but Su Xiao had said before that these two items would not be sold separately and had to be sold as a package, which made the Black Merchant uncomfortable. That black scroll in the stick shape always looked like a Troublemaker to him.

Though it might not be valuable, it was still a Dark Purple Scroll. Saying it’s valuable, it would be fortunate to sell it for 300,000 Paradise coins.

The Dark Purple Skill Scroll and Golden Dagger, while seemingly impressive, actually have limited value; the truly valuable item is the Golden Dagger.

”This item is nice, too.”

Su Xiao picked up another Dark Purple item in front of the Black Merchant, who finally lost his composure.

”Mister Bai Ye, the three Dark Purple Weapons and the Heart of the Ocean plus the item in your hand already far exceed the value of that scroll and Golden Dagger, even if it’s a Golden quality equipment. Though its power is indeed strong, its durability is too low. Though suitable for the assassin profession, sometimes an assassin also needs to engage in close combat...”

Su Xiao paused his hand.

”Since that’s the case, forget it.”

After saying this, Su Xiao got up to leave. The Black Merchant remained calm, but when Su Xiao reached the café’s door, the Black Merchant’s expression became abnormal. His extensive business experience told him that Su Xiao truly intended to end this transaction.

Indeed, that was Su Xiao’s thought. He wasn’t necessarily going to trade with the Black Sail Merchant Group, as the other party had shown no sincerity from the start.

Additionally, he knew that the Black Room Merchant Union were all professional merchants; if he didn’t show this resolve, he would definitely get exploited, resulting in a lower price.

Once Su Xiao reached the café’s door, and as he pushed open the restaurant’s door, the Black Merchant’s face turned extremely unsightly.

”If I screw up this deal, the chairman will kill me.”

The Black Merchant shivered all over, and a mental image of that smiling cat-faced chairman appeared in his mind.

”Mister Bai Ye, wait!”

The Black Merchant shouted this sentence, knowing he had lost. As a businessman, he shouldn’t be swayed by external emotions.

Su Xiao paused his steps and turned to look at the Black Merchant.

The Black Merchant nodded, as if he agreed to something.

Su Xiao returned to his seat and took out the Super Destruction Fist Scroll and Golden Dagger.

The Black Merchant then handed over the three Dark Purple weapons. After a brief hesitation, he pushed the Heart of the Ocean towards Su Xiao. As for the last item, he casually handed it to Su Xiao. When Su Xiao picked up the second item earlier, the Black Merchant’s pained expression was all an act.

”Happy trading.”

The Black Merchant got up and left, although he regretted parting with the Heart of the Ocean, he overall did not suffer a big loss. Since, in his view, the second item Su Xiao chose was not so great. That thing had been stored in the warehouse for a long time, labeled as valueless but a waste to discard.

After the Black Merchant left, Su Xiao’s face lit up with a smile.

”Perhaps there’s hope for my luck. Having searched for so long, though not finding the most ideal item, this one isn’t bad either.”

In his hand, Su Xiao held a small piece of candle, about the length of a thumb. The candle’s color was warm and gentle, akin to a piece of sheep fat white jade.

Gold Wax

Origin: 6th War Zone (Second Tier Space Battlefield), Baya Refuge

Quality: Dark Purple

Type: Consumable

Effect: After use, equipment grade +1. The higher the initial equipment grade, the higher the risk of failure. Upon failure, Gold Wax disappears, but the equipment remains undamaged.

Prompt: The success rate for White quality equipment is 100%, Green quality is 60%, Blue quality is 30%, Purple quality is 10%, and Dark Purple quality is 5%.

Prompt: This item only enhances equipment quality and performance, without altering original attribute categories.

Rating: 259

Description: This is the relic of the rebel leader of Baya Refuge, a relic of the Child of Fate (Pseudo), said to bring good fortune. But reality proves, it might lack that effect; otherwise, why would the young Child of Fate (Pseudo) end up on the execution platform? Perhaps it was because he slept with his own sister?

...

For the Black Merchant or other Contractors, the greatest use of this item is to enhance the quality of some Blue and Purple equipment. Because it’s Dark Purple itself, it commands a high price.

Who would spend a lot of money crafting a low-level piece of equipment? The answer is Su Xiao would. The Fate Redeeming Lighter is Blue quality, and he has always been looking to enhance its quality.

Though the success rate is only 30%, it’s worth a try.

If the Fate Redeeming Lighter successfully gets upgraded to Purple, the benefits are long-term, not comparable to that unusable Golden Dagger.

Su Xiao took out the Fate Redeeming Lighter and pressed the small piece of Gold Wax onto it.

[Use ’Gold Wax’ on ’Fate Redeeming Lighter’? Using it will have a 30% chance to upgrade to Purple quality.]

”Use.”

The Gold Wax gradually melted, eventually engulfing the Fate Redeeming Lighter.

[Prompt: Detected harmony between ’Fate Redeeming Lighter’ and ’Gold Wax’ exceeding 90%, both being Time Fortune and Luck items, thus the quality enhancement probability has greatly increased along with the enhancement effect.]

[Enhancing... Requires 150 hours.]

Seeing the time required, Su Xiao shook his head. During his current stay at Reincarnation Paradise, he couldn’t use the Fate Redeeming Lighter, but its natural cooldown time itself is 6 natural days. He had used it before during a draw, so there’s no real impact in waiting.

With all equipment sold out, Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room.

Upon entering, Su Xiao found that Bubu Wang had returned and was sleeping on the couch (dog bed).

Furniture had been repurchased, all matching the previous styles. Su Xiao sat at his desk.

Su Xiao first took out the Heart of the Ocean, hesitating on which piece of equipment to embed it. His current equipment was already quite luxurious enough.

Weapon: Dragon Slash +10 (Dark Purple)

Scabbard: Divine Spirit Afterglow (Dark Purple)

Secondary Weapon: Spider Queen (Dark Purple), Black-White (Purple)

Necklace: Will of Fire (Light Gold)

Ring: Demon Hunting Ring (Dark Purple Set 1/3)

Hands: Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor + Boundary Line (Purple)

Upper Body: Lan Kai Windcoat (Dark Purple)

Shoes: Acute Combat Boots (Dark Purple)

Reconnaissance Type: Eye of the Apostle (Light Gold)

...

The most stable method is to inlay on Dragon Slash, but if there is a gemstone more suitable for Dragon Slash, that will be troublesome. Inlaying a gemstone is easy; removing it is hard.

The next consideration is ’Will of Fire’, but that equipment isn’t very suitable either. The reason is Su Xiao has an ambition, which is to gather the Demon Hunting Suit, and one of the items in the Demon Hunting Suit is a necklace.

The attributes of the Demon Hunting Suit are truly tempting. After gathering three pieces, one can activate the set effect.

Set Effect 1: Demon Hunter (Passive), Strength +15, Agility +10, Stamina +10.

Set Effect 2: Melee Expert (Passive), Close Combat Damage +40%, Maximum Life Value +20%.

Set Effect 3: (Invisible)

...

Every time he sees these set effects, Su Xiao feels his heart race. He has already obtained a third of it; the remaining two-thirds will no longer be just a dream. Even if it is a dream, one must pursue it, not be a salted fish without dreams.

Su Xiao took a deep breath and decided to inlay the Heart of the Ocean on the ’Demon Hunting Ring’.

[To complete this inlay, you need to pay 5000 Paradise coins.] ℯℯ𝘭.

Select to pay, the Heart of the Ocean shatters into eight small pieces, and an indentation appears on the Demon Hunting Ring’s surface with eight grooves, just enough to inlay the eight small pieces of the Heart of the Ocean.

As long as there is no rejection, inlaying a gemstone is simple. For example, if you inlay a fire attribute gemstone on ice attribute equipment, it will repel. Su Xiao heard Xia say during a meal that a Contractor did this, seemingly trying to create a weapon with both ice and fire attributes. He almost burst into laughter at the time.

The inlaying was quickly completed, and Su Xiao’s Mana Value soared to 2133 points. Although still not quite enough, it is much better than before when it was scarce.

If it weren’t for the golden quality dagger, the Black Merchant would never have taken out the Heart of the Ocean. Although this item is light golden quality, gemstones themselves are scarce, plus their inlay effects are extremely strong.

After inlaying the gemstone, Su Xiao took out a knife, a dark purple quality knife.

[Blood Blade]

Origin: Full-time Hunter

Quality: Dark Purple

Category: Long Knife

Durability: 78/78

Attack Power: 65～94

Equipment Requirements: Strength 30, Agility 23, Stamina 15, Sword Skills LV.16 or higher.

Equipment Effect 2: Blood Burst Slash (Active Skill), Thrusts forward, triggering an explosion if successfully embedded in the enemy’s body, dealing 100 + weapon attack power ×2.1 + 30 points of true damage.

Prompt: Blood Burst Slash (Active) cooldown is 16 hours.

Rating: 215

Introduction: Let... the blood... explode.

Price: 57000 Paradise coins

...

This is the weapon Su Xiao obtained at the Yukexin auction. He appraised this knife immediately upon returning to Reincarnation Paradise, and was quite surprised, finding it to be dark purple.

Now Su Xiao has gathered five dark purple weapons; any more is beyond his reach.

[Wind Chime Tooth (Dark Purple, Rating: 160)]

[Dragon’s Kiss (Dark Purple) Rating: 180]

[T333—K9 (Dark Purple) Rating: 201]

[Blood Blade (Dark Purple) Rating: 215 points.]

[Reverse Harmony Spring (Dark Purple) Rating: 260 points.]

Su Xiao took out Dragon Slash, gently caressing the blade’s edge.

”’Eat’, someday you’ll ’eat’ me bankrupt.”

Bubu Wang, who was sleeping on the sofa, looked up, puzzled at Su Xiao, with eyes seemingly asking, ”Master, what did you just say? Are you complaining that I’m too much to handle?”

”Not your concern～”

Su Xiao used the Supreme Blade Ability, a black ghostly light appearing in his hand. The light wrapped around the five dark purple weapons.

Even with this quantity, Su Xiao isn’t sure if Dragon Slash can advance. The higher Dragon Slash’s level is, the more same-level weapons are required. The last promotion already gave him this forewarning.

Kaka kaka～

The five dark purple weapons wrapped in black ghostly light emitted a series of grinding noises as they were shattered.

Dozens of seconds later, a wisp of dark purple crystal shards floated out from the ghostly light; these were the essence of the five dark purple weapons. This essence drifted towards Dragon Slash and quickly merged into it.

Dazzling purple light surged forth, and Su Xiao instinctively turned his head to the side.

”That kind of reaction... seems five were enough.”

Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief; now he just needed to wait quietly for Dragon Slash to advance.
