Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 811: Chapter 42: Su Xiao vs. Caesar

”Yo, a familiar face.”

The blonde lady spoke, and beside her was the young man who had bought the ’Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor.’ His codename in Paradise was Taichikarao, given by his sister in hopes that he would survive the brutal Reincarnation Paradise.

Taichikarao looked at Su Xiao with a somewhat ’melancholic’ gaze; the reason was that he was wrapped in more bandages, resembling a mummy.

”Gu Xiaosheng, it seems your plan isn’t very effective, you didn’t block a single person.”

The blonde lady chuckled lightly, her eyes darting to a young man smoking against the wall. He was Gu Xiaosheng, the Blood Wolf Adventure Team Leader.

Gu Xiaosheng also glanced at the blonde lady, snorting coldly, aware that she was making enemies for him.

”I’m not like some people, pretending to be virtuous while being a whore. If it weren’t for the circumstances, I’d settle the score of the Thunderbird right now, Nasha.”

It turns out the blonde lady’s name is Nasha, and she has old grievances with the Blood Wolf Adventure Group.

”Calm down, both of you, peace brings wealth.”

A chubby middle-aged man smiled to ease the tension; he was also the leader of an adventure group.

”I don’t care what grudges you have between you, but in this world, whoever dares to have infighting, I’ll be the first to kill them.”

A slender Mage Lord spoke, and although his build was thin, his aura was formidable, surrounded by a terrifying concentration of fire elements.

Seeing this Mage Lord, Su Xiao remembered who he was; he was the one who formed a giant middle finger from fire elements at the ’Starry Sky Transfer Station.’

With the Fire Mage speaking up, both Nasha and Gu Xiaosheng fell silent, seemingly wary of him. Their caution was justified as the Fire Mage was the leader of a large adventure group. Although not as large as Blood Gate or Divine Emperor, it was still sizable, and the Fire Mage’s strength was formidable, equipped with three pieces of Dark Purple magic set, ranking among the top of the Second Tier.

The four leaders waited for the Merit Shop to open, knowing the sweep unit had already returned to Black Soil Fortress, indicating the Camp Shop would open soon.

They stood before a wooden door, from behind which strange sounds and odors emanated.

A beautiful woman in an OL outfit with black-framed glasses walked to the wooden door, embodying the concept of uniform seduction. She meticulously tidied up her appearance; she was a subordinate of the Fire Mage, a charisma-specialized contractor.

”Mr. Caesar? Do you have a moment now?”

The OL woman’s voice was alluring, and hearing it, Taichikarao Little Brother felt like a cat clawing at his heart, his throat dry. Yet, Caesar, our miserly, sly, greedy, and opportunistic character, wasn’t swayed by feminine charm.

”No time, wait.”

Nicholas Caesar’s voice came from behind the door, sounding impatient.

”Apologies for the interruption.”

The OL woman’s smile faltered slightly; she shook her head at the Fire Mage, indicating that her Charm Attributes had no effect on Nicholas Caesar.

”Then let’s wait.”

The Fire Mage was a bit helpless, having dealt with Nicholas Caesar before and found him utterly unyielding. He had bribed Caesar with a Blue Equipment, but to no avail; after a brief moment of warmth, Caesar chose to forget the Blue Equipment as if he didn’t know the Fire Mage.

Not only the Fire Mage, but other leaders also had varying degrees of unfortunate experiences with Nicholas Caesar.

Su Xiao stepped forward, standing before the wooden door.

”Little handsome guy, it’s useless, wait with us.”

The OL woman sized up Su Xiao, instinctively sensing that he wasn’t a charisma-specialized contractor, but rather had low Charm Attributes.

Su Xiao ignored the OL woman, his right hand clenched into a fist.

Thud, thud, thud.

Su Xiao knocked on the door with several punches, causing the entire wooden door to cave in slightly. Seeing this, the leaders reacted with astonishment, thinking this daredevil would certainly face misfortune.

”Who is it? My poor door! Who’s the damn fool...”

Caesar’s sharp voice came from behind the door, clearly furious, as this was damaging his personal property.

”It’s me.”

Upon hearing Su Xiao’s voice, Caesar was briefly stunned before opening the door.

”My dear friend, when did you arrive? You’ve been waiting a long time, come in quickly.”

Caesar wedged the already deformed door open, his green face full of a mischievous grin.

Su Xiao entered the room, causing the dozen contractors outside to fidget.

Bang!

The door slammed shut, narrowly missing the Fire Mage’s nose.

”What the hell...”

The Fire Mage momentarily lost words to express his current mood, as the leaders outside exchanged bewildered looks.

”What now? Is the Holy Oak Tree Trunk gone?”

”Not necessarily, the guy who went in should be a Lone Ranger, earning 16,000 merit is simply unbelievable.”

”16,000 points? Wasn’t it 10,000 points?”

”Who said that? It’s definitely 16,000 points.”

The group of contractors discussed fervently.

”There shouldn’t be any issue; Reincarnation Paradise hasn’t notified the opening of the Merit Shop, so even if he can enter the room, he can’t redeem the Holy Oak Tree Trunk early.”

The Fire Mage felt a bit uneasy, strong as he was, but knowing the repercussions of opposing his fellow contractors in this world would be dire, he had to rely on proper methods to obtain the ”Holy Oak Tree Trunk.”

Considering this, the Fire Mage felt stifled, as the guy who entered the room clearly went through back channels.

Inside the room, Su Xiao surveyed the surrounding environment. Caesar’s room was spacious, conservatively estimated at over 400 square meters, equipped with a large experimental table, several neatly arranged material racks, and supplies piled everywhere.

It had complete bedroom and dining facilities—perhaps not even Legion Commander Carlos’s room would match this standard.

”Sit anywhere.”

Caesar said casually, tossing his coat onto the plush leather sofa while bringing over a broken wooden chair.

Having dealt with Caesar before, Su Xiao threw Caesar’s coat onto the wooden chair, then comfortably settled into the sofa.

Though it resembled a sofa, it was just a large wooden chair wrapped in several layers of beast skin, making it very comfortable to sit on.

”My dear friend, Caesar really missed you.”

[Notice: Nicholas Caesar’s favorability -5, current favorability 90 points.]

Su Xiao ignored the prompt, knowing Caesar’s favorability meant nothing; relying on favorability to gain benefits from Caesar was harder than getting Bu Wang not to wreck the house.

”Mm, I ’miss’ you too.”

For some reason, Su Xiao felt a pang of conscience after uttering those words.

”You’re here to teach me alchemy, aren’t you? Of course you are, hmm, where do I start...”

Caesar transitioned smoothly from a query to a rhetorical question to certainty, as if Su Xiao’s visit was specifically to teach him alchemy.

If a contractor was negotiating with Caesar for the first time, they might be stumped by this ’four-hit combo’ and teach Caesar alchemy knowledge to preserve favorability.

”Nice try, but that’s not the case.”

Su Xiao was firm in his response.

[Notice: Nicholas Caesar’s favorability -20, current favorability 70 points.]

The usual decline in favorability felt like a gentle breeze to Su Xiao, whose mind remained unperturbed, even prompted him to smoke a cigarette.

Caesar’s expression shifted between green and red, realizing Su Xiao was even harder to deal with.

”My dear friend, you’ve fought hard on the battlefield; Caesar greatly respects warriors like you. Wait a moment.”

Caesar headed to the kitchen, causing Su Xiao’s expression to stiffen, sensing something was amiss.
