Chapter 10: Lust for Power
After Su Xiao pierced through both of them, he immediately noticed that a pale red streak had appeared above Oki's head.
It was probably an indicator of Oki's health. His sword pierced through the back of Oki's head, but it didn't kill him.
Right now, he was still alive, but he couldn't do anything.
It was the first time Su Xiao had seen such a red stripe. When he killed the black market merchant, nothing like this appeared above his head.
But it was undoubtedly a good advantage that would allow him to quickly understand whether his enemy had died or not.
Oki, on the other hand, has about five percent of her health left.
After pulling out the blade from the back of Oki's head, Su Xiao took the sword in one hand and slammed the blade right into Oki's neck.
*Pouf!*
Blood splattered everywhere and a few drops of blood landed on Su Xiao's cheeks.
Oki's head shot up.
[Notification: You killed the Watch commander, Brandon Oke.
Brandon Oka was an official of the Kingdom of Goa.
You have obtained 3.6% of the World Source and have a total of 5.7% of the World Source.
Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 10 points.
The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 75 points.
Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 1 point.
The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 76 points.]
Su Xiao was a little surprised that he was able to get the "Source of Peace" for killing Oki.
If he kills one of the legendary figures of this world, he will immediately receive a double-digit number?
But this wasn't the time to think about it. Su Xiao wouldn't even be able to see a person of this level, and even if he did, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to do anything to him
The true role and importance of the" Source of Peace " for him is still unclear. Earlier, he was informed that this "Source of Peace" was related to the reward that he would receive after completing the task.
And this so-called reward was the key to gaining strength, but he didn't have any specific information.
In this world, there were many ways that he could become stronger, but all of them required him to have time. Initially, he only had 72 hours, and now he only has 60 left. If he could complete this task on time, it would be a very good event, and for the sake of completing this task, Su Xiao couldn't think of anything else.
As for the 'Devil Fruit' that could challenge the heavens, Su Xiao had never thought of it. Without a minimum of power, he wouldn't even be able to hear about it, let alone take it away.
Right now, he was just an ordinary person with good physical fitness, but in this world, if everyone wasn't equal to him, then at least they weren't much weaker, and that didn't include the fact that there were truly strong people in this world.
In fact, now for him, every monster or aggressive person he encountered was like a very strong" Boss " from a video game.
Besides the World Source, he was also concerned about mana. He just didn't know how he could use it...
Apparently, he could only rely on his usual strength right now.
For killing Oki, he was given a white treasure chest, just like the one he got from killing the black market merchant.
Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest and stuffed it into his inventory, then quickly left the room.
He was a guard now, and this cover was very important to his plans.
If word got out that he had killed the head of the guards, Oku, he would definitely be killed or forced to leave the Goa'uld kingdom.
The cool night breeze fluttered Su Xiao's black hair.
Before he went home, Su Xiao checked the security equipment left behind — a short branch and a few hairs.
No one even came near his new home, so it was safe.
After entering the house, Su Xiao didn't turn on the light, but settled down in the dark bedroom and took out the treasure chest.
[Treasure Chest (White)
Open?
yes/no]
After wanting to open the treasure chest, a necklace appeared in Su Xiao's hands.
[You have opened the treasure chest (white) and received the following items:
300 coins of paradise
Dead wife's necklace]
[Dead Wife's Necklace (White).

Price: 1600 Paradise Coins.]
Holding the necklace tightly, Su Xiao smiled.
This simple necklace could increase his strength by one point.
Sighing, Su Xiao calmed down and put on the necklace.
Looking at his personal information, he saw that his "Strength" parameter had increased to 7 points.
Immediately after, a stream of heat flowed into his body, and Su Xiao clearly noticed that the strength in his body had become much stronger.
It would seem that it should have been just an increase in strength by one point, but it brought with it such a change...
This meant that every increase in any attribute resulted in a huge change, not just an increase in the number in the stats.
— Su Xiao clenched his fists and his joints began to crack, and a new, unprecedented strength appeared in his body.
The feeling made him a little intoxicated.
But Su Xiao sighed and reminded himself that this power wasn't his and came from outside.
This necklace was clearly a memorable item of Oki's and would definitely be recognized by those who were on good terms with him.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that an extra line of tiny text appeared in his field of vision, which was almost invisible.
[You can spend 100 Paradise Coins to purchase the Hidden Gear feature.
Purchase / Refuse]
Su Xiao didn't know about the value of 100 coins, but he had obtained all of his coins through very difficult ways, which clearly told him that they were quite valuable.
But this function was very practical, so Su Xiao bought it.
[You have purchased the hide your equipment feature.
You can freely hide the equipment that you are wearing.
Exception: Weapons.]
The necklace around his neck soon disappeared, but the power bonus still affected him, which made Su Xiao very happy.
These hundred coins were not wasted.
When he first met this "Paradise", Su Xiao had some doubts in his heart.
What was the purpose of this unknown and powerful organization?
For completing tasks, "Paradise" will reward him.
As for whether or not Paradise would decide to remove him, Su Xiao didn't care much about that question right now.
Once this organization was able to cure his fatal wounds and somehow sent him to the world of Van Pease... this alone reflected the terrifying power of Paradise.
Su Xiao wasn't a great strategist, but if Heaven wanted to harm him in some way, why would this organization choose to save him?
Even if they wanted to use Su Xiao, he didn't mind — he still wanted to gain power.
Perhaps after he completed his first task, he could learn more about Paradise and become stronger.
Weakness is an original sin. Su Xiao understood this very well. If he was strong enough, he would have been able to avoid that tragedy.
White floor, stained with blood, lifeless bodies...
Su Xiao pushed away the old memories and opened his eyes.
After preparing the bed, Su Xiao lay down and began to fall asleep. He had a lot of things to do tomorrow. Sleep will help him become more energetic.
If everything went right, Su Xiao would be able to kill the king of the Goa Kingdom, but he needed to not only kill him, but also somehow get out of this world alive.
It was easy to kill, but it wasn't easy to leave the scene alive.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, had a clear goal, and he wasn't going to die right now.
