Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 765: Chapter 75: Chewing Gum

Su Xiao held a plastic bottle about ten centimeters high in his hand, resembling a medicine bottle, though it was actually a piece of recovery food.

[Yida Chewing Gum]

Description: Hey, it’s your Yida. No, it’s your Yida.

Price: 400 Paradise coins

...

Su Xiao often strolled through the marketplace, rarely seeing items or food that restored mana. Even when he did, they were exorbitantly priced.

This bottle of mana-recovering gum now sold for only 3000 Paradise coins. Perhaps the stall owner thought this was a high price since this gum only cost 400 Paradise coins from Reincarnation Paradise. Selling it for 3000, more than a few times its original price, how this Contractor got it was a mystery. Maybe it was a reward from completing a derivative world for the first time.

”Although the recovery amount is small and mana is not that useful, this gum...”

The stall owner was about to praise his product when he received a notification.

[The recovery food you put up for sale: Yida Chewing Gum, has been successfully sold. You earned 3000 Paradise coins.]

The stall owner was dumbfounded upon receiving this message.

”Is this thing really that valuable?”

The stall owner stared intently at Su Xiao, hoping to catch any change in his expression.

Su Xiao did not respond. He stood up and walked toward his exclusive room.

”Wait, this thing I was...”

The stall owner’s outstretched hand froze. He suddenly recalled that this was Reincarnation Paradise, not a marketplace. Once a transaction was complete, no amount of regret could change it.

”Don’t judge the value of items by their grade.”

Leaving these words behind, Su Xiao walked away while the stall owner began to feel a mix of gain and loss, but was comforted when he saw the large sum in his Reincarnation Mark.

Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room and took out Dragon Slash, entering a spacious room to begin his daily sword practice. As his tier position increased, so did the area of his exclusive room.

After practicing swordsmanship for several hours, Su Xiao, covered in sweat, took a shower and lay down to sleep, intending to restore his spirit for a test of his comprehensive abilities in the arena the next morning.

The enhancement in Blue Steel Shadow was significant, and Boundary Line had improved as well.

The next morning, inside the arena’s resting pod, a semi-transparent screen floated in mid-air. With Su Xiao’s control, the screen moved to his front.

[Arena Competitor: Su Xiao.]

[Status: Good.]

[Ranking: 105th (Second Tier).]

[Winning Streak: 186 matches.]

[Top Ten Reward: Not Obtained.]

...

Below were many options, such as matching an opponent, spectating, viewing the second tier arena leaderboard, etc.

Su Xiao chose to match an opponent. At his rank, finding a match was not easy.

[Searching for an opponent for the Hunter...]

[Hunter’s current rank: 105th (Second Tier).]

[Matching...]

Su Xiao activated his disguise function, a red metal mask covering the lower half of his face. His windbreaker was also slightly altered, making it hard for acquaintances to recognize him now.

Su Xiao waited a full ten minutes, and the screen still showed ”matching.” Just as he was about to play a game to pass the time, a notification appeared.

[Match successful, the Hunter will be teleported to the arena in 5 seconds. Please prepare yourself, Hunter.]

Five seconds later, the teleportation sensation occurred,

Su Xiao’s vision flashed; when he could see again, he was standing in a 60×60 meter square arena. Surrounding the arena was a transparent energy shield, beyond which was a stepped spectator stand.

Competitions within the top 200 of the second tier always had fully occupied stands.

”I’ve waited so long to finally see a top 200 competition.”

”No way, one of the abilities seems to be tank-type.”

”Tanking makes an arena fight dull and unwatchable.”

Su Xiao’s opponent displeased the spectators. He was a man in a tight biochemical suit, accentuating his muscular contour, with a large black iron bucket on his back.

The Iron Bucket Man seemed accustomed to the audience’s reaction and, with his strength to reach the top 200 of the second tier, did not care for others’ opinions.

”Hey, the one using a knife, fighting me might cause you to feel irritated or depressed. Apologies for that.”

The Iron Bucket Man tapped the iron bucket behind him, and a light green poison gas started to spread.

Su Xiao did not look at his opponent but instead towards the back row of the audience, where a familiar face was.

”Xia, you’re not guarding that shabby restaurant today, but have the time to watch the arena with me. That’s unusual.”

A girl with long straight black hair sat beside Xia. Though she appeared cold, she was actually young and lively, holding a bucket of popcorn.

”What do you mean by shabby restaurant? My restaurant does well.”

”Sure, with three guests every day, it’s booming.”

”Three guests... are guests too.”

”You stubborn one, with your culinary skills, if you relocate, business would be booming. Is your zodiac sign the ’Stubborn Mule’?”

”I’ve never heard of such a strange zodiac sign.”

Xia chuckled. The girl beside her was one of her few friends.

”The competition is about to start, Xia. Which side do you favor?”

The black-haired girl glanced at Su Xiao, then at the Iron Bucket Man: ”I’m betting on the Iron Bucket Man. Look at those muscles, surely durable.”

”Who knows, though his opponent gives me a familiar feeling...”

Xia looked at Su Xiao on the arena.

”Miss Xia, stop daydreaming. These are top tier 200 elites. We small fries can’t interact with them.”

”True.”

Xia shook her head. Though she remembered Su Xiao as strong, she hadn’t thought he could reach the arena’s top 200 in the second tier.

[Competition Start!]

Four large words appeared on the arena. Xia’s fists clenched; it was her first time watching a battle of this level.

As the match started, Su Xiao drew Dragon Slash from his waist. Blue Steel Shadow energy enveloped Dragon Slash, transforming it into Thunder Blade.

Iron Bucket Man extended his arms. The gas rapidly spread around: ”Torment·Calamity.”

”Damn, he released toxin!”

”This is nonsense! Refund my Paradise coins!”

The spectators cursed angrily. They spent Paradise coins, and now half the arena was a green haze.

Gas surged towards Su Xiao from the front. Su Xiao took a deep breath.

Shave!

Whoosh~

Su Xiao’s figure suddenly disappeared, and the area of green gas was sliced open with a straight-line passage. His high-speed charge dispersed part of the gas, showcasing his frightening speed.

When Su Xiao reappeared, he was already directly in front of the Iron Bucket Man, long knife held sideways.

The knife cutting through the air made a deafening wail.

The Iron Bucket Man’s eyes widened; he was startled by the enemy’s speed. But as a stamina-specialized Contractor, taking a few hits was no issue.

Truly no issue? Perhaps.

The blade of Dragon Slash sliced through the biochemical suit. The suit, which the Iron Bucket Man had high expectations for, was pierced instantly.

Splurt!

Blood spurted several meters high. The Iron Bucket Man’s mouth opened wide. Though he couldn’t see the damage value of the attack, the intense pain in his chest told him his muscle groups and ribcage were completely severed, leaving his vulnerable organs exposed to his enemy’s knife.
