Chapter 190: Nerves
Karl left a tarot card and some information about the Ghost Brigade before he left.
Su Xiao didn't touch the map and just began to summarize what he had heard.
The Ghost Brigade had no rules as such. In principle, by becoming a part of this group, he will be able to enjoy the bonuses of the permanent group and its support.
Getting information was Su Xiao's main problem at the moment. Now he had to pay for any information, and sometimes the price was very high.
— It's a really good suggestion, but no, " Su Xiao pushed the suggestion out of his mind. Currently, he wasn't going to join any groups. The reason for this was very simple. He was a hunter, but Karl wasn't weak. He felt that there was a fifty-percent chance that he could beat Carl if anything happened.
He immediately felt the mana surging in his body. This guy was a magician.
Karl was a strong mage, but he was number eleven in this group, which showed how strong the other members of this group were.
Ordinary contractors would be happy to join such a group, but he had to be careful.
He wouldn't join them, at least not right now, he needed to get really strong first.
If he wanted to join a group and not be restricted by any rules, he needed to become stronger than the leaders of small groups.
Su Xiao would consider joining this group after becoming equal to about the seventh number from this group, which was a very safe choice.
It wasn't that he was afraid or timid. In a dangerous place like Paradise, only his own strength could help him in case of a dangerous situation.
Moreover, Su Xiao had always believed that there was no free cheese in the world, and what to say about Heaven, where the weak were always the prey of the strong.
First, he will find out what kind of group it is, and only then will he join it.
Su Xiao picked up a tarot card from the table and passed the message to Karl. The message was very simple: "I'm used to being alone, I'll be alone for now, but thank you for the invitation».
After that, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
The hunter was destined to be alone. This title bestowed both buns and troubles.
When Su Xiao first entered Paradise, he saw the second rule of Paradise: "You will always end up paying for what you got».
Taking out his sword, Su Xiao carefully looked at the blade. Perhaps only this sword would accompany him until he reached the end of life or cut the chains of fate.
— What are you thinking about? Xia handed him a glass of orange juice and winked at Su Xiao with her big eyes.
— Nothing, just thinking about life.
— Oh, " Xia chuckled. — I haven't seen the whole world yet, but I've rarely met people as good as you.
Su Xiao was stunned and looked at Xia in surprise. "Me?" A good person? Su Xiao asked and pointed at himself.
— Yes, you always asked me how I was doing and always paid more, so you're certainly a good person — " Xia lightly touched her hair and pushed it behind her ears. — You killed a lot of people in the last world?
— Very much, " Su Xiao said and spat out smoke, then flicked the ash into the ashtray.
— How much? Xia was curious.
— Approximately... Su Xiao pondered and held up two fingers.
— Twenty?
Su Xiao didn't say anything.
— Hey, you didn't kill more than two hundred people, right? Xia Yi asked, looking at Su Xiao like a rare animal.
— Maybe more.
Xia looked at Su Xiao in surprise... no more than two thousand, right?
— Maybe more, maybe less, " Su Xiao replied calmly, and Xia was stunned.
— This... You don't feel guilty?
— I can feel it, but one day I'll die, too. Good and evil will be left to the gods, Buddhas, and demons, however, I will reach my goal before I see them, " Su Xiao's tone was calm, but the constant killing was beginning to tire him out. He never allowed himself to show too much emotion, or else the enemy would have discovered his weakness.
— Although I'm not as strong as you, I feel like my life is much easier than yours, take this... Don't thank me, " Xia said, and held out a palm — sized tablet with a game running on it. — Try it, it will help relieve stress.
Su Xiao picked up the tablet and looked at the screen. It was running some kind of puzzle survival game. The graphics in this game were extremely refined, and if it appeared on earth, it would definitely immediately become a game with the most advanced graphics.
After playing for a while, Su Xiao frowned. It was very interesting, and its main essence was that the player character had to survive in the primeval forest, constantly solving dilemmas, looking for food, and so on.
— Su Xiao stood up and walked to the door. — If we end up in the same world in the future, I will protect you.
Xia was surprised.
— The difficulty of my last world was a bit high, as I've recently reached level 5, and I might cause you some extra trouble.
— Oh? Then we might not be able to meet, but if we meet, I will protect you, " Su Xiao said and walked out of the restaurant.
He hadn't interacted with people in a long time. For the past few years, he had been doing nothing but trying to get stronger.
Contractors and employees in Paradise had their own thoughts on their minds, and in the real world, he needed to avoid detection by state forces.
But Su Xiao felt that it wouldn't be able to continue for long. If he continues to live like this, sooner or later he will have problems. Humans were not machines. If he is always tense, sooner or later he will have all sorts of mental problems.
Since he couldn't relax in Heaven and the derived worlds, he had to find a way to relax in the real world.
Su Xiao nodded, but right now, the first thing he needed to do was deal with the items he had obtained.
First of all, he will pump up his statistics, and then deal with other issues.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the Statistics Improvement hall.
[Welcome to the Statistics Improvement hall, please pay 100 Paradise Coins to launch the hall.]
After the payment, a window with statistics appeared in front of it.
[Power: 20.
Dexterity: 18.
Durability: 10.
Intelligence: 17.
Charisma: 3.
A hunter can distribute 12 attribute points.]
[The main attributes of a Hunter are: Strength, Agility, Intelligence. Please improve these three attributes first.]
Su Xiao thought about how he should distribute the attribute points and finally decided to balance his three main attributes. When he increased his strength to 20 points, he received a very good reward for it.
In the end, he invested 2 points in strength and 5 points each in agility and intelligence.
[The distribution of attributes has been completed, the improvement of the body will be accompanied by pain.
Use anesthesia? Anesthesia is completely free.
yes/no.]
Just like last time, he refused anesthesia.
Pain immediately shot through his entire body, and Su Xiao's muscles along with his bones began to transform.
Even though it wasn't the first time he had been through this, cold sweat still formed on his forehead.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao could barely stand on his feet, but the transformation didn't end there.
He took out a certain test tube from his inventory.
As soon as it was in his hands, a notification from Paradise popped up in front of him.
[Purified titanium extract (Semi-finished product) is ready for revision.
The completion cost is 13,000 Paradise coins.
Modify the extract?
yes/no]
Su Xiao looked at his Paradise coins. In total, he had 21,247 Paradise coins.
After confirming the revision, the test tube immediately rose into the air and began to shimmer.
More than a dozen robotic arms began to emerge from the walls, then began actively working with the test tube..
The robotic arms worked very quickly and from time to time added some ingredients inside the test tube.
Half an hour later, a metal syringe was placed in Su Xiao's hand.
[Purified Titanium Extract.
Quality: Blue.
Type: Advanced Medicine.
Effect: Strength +2; Agility +2; Stamina +2; Intelligence +2 after injection.
Rating: 67.
Description: Mysterious medicine, no side effects, does not require the user to enter a specific part of the body.
Price: 13.400 Paradise coins.]
The rating of this liquid increased by 7 points after being refined, and as for the price of this liquid, Su Xiao simply ignored it.
After stabbing the syringe into his arm, the light red liquid immediately began to spread throughout his body.
Su Xiao's entire body gradually began to tense up, and his entire body was filled with this indescribable feeling.
He could feel himself getting stronger and stronger.
The feeling soon disappeared. This feeling was too pleasant, but Su Xiao opened his stat right after that.
