Chapter 32: A New World
*Tick-tock, tick-tock*...
The clock ticked in the quiet living room.
Su Xiao sat on the sofa with a sword on his feet and meditated.
This kind of meditation wasn't the kind that mages resorted to. This was the type of meditation that Koshiro had passed on to Su Xiao. It allowed you to better understand yourself and your sword.
The essence of swordsmanship was not only in striking, but also in the possession of powerful physical and mental strength by the owner of the sword.
Meditation might look boring in other people's eyes, but Su Xiao was happy to meditate.
Only the attitude to meditation reflected the height that a person could reach. If one couldn't stand the banal meditation, then it would be better if one simply gave up on the path of sword comprehension.
— F-f-f-f-f...
Su Xiao sighed and finished meditating. Even though he hadn't trained his body today, he felt hungry.
Su Xiao picked up his phone and ordered a meal for eight. He felt that he was too hungry.
Half an hour later there was a knock on the door.
Looking at the sweaty courier, Su Xiao smiled bitterly. It really wasn't easy for him to deliver all this food to his door.
*Click*
The door opposite Su Xiao's front door opened and a man wearing sunglasses and looking serious stepped out into the corridor.
The man wearing sunglasses looked at Su Xiao and the courier. After looking at Su Xiao, he was clearly wary.
— Just checked in?
— Right.
The man with dark glasses nodded and went downstairs.
After eating, Su Xiao remembered the man wearing sunglasses. His body looked strong and his stance wasn't ordinary, which indicated that he wasn't an ordinary person, but Su Xiao wasn't going to dig up information on him.
After being in his world for a little less than a week, Su Xiao for some reason started to feel slightly annoyed.
What he really wanted was to go to the next world and explore it, and the thought made him smile bitterly. Perhaps he wasn't born for an ordinary life.
[Attention! A new task has been selected, the Hunter will be returned to the "Paradise for Reincarnators", please make sure that no one sees you.]
----
[Teleportation... teleportation completed.]
Su Xiao's head was spinning and her ears were ringing. After he regained consciousness, he found that he was already in his room.
He was already starting to think about what kind of world he would end up in this time. If he were to encounter the same high difficulty as he had in Van Pease's world again, it would be a bit difficult for him.
— Paradise, what kind of world will I end up in?
[Hunter Level: Level 2, First Rank.
Ten minutes before teleporting, the Hunter will receive information about their next world. Teleportation will be performed in an hour, Hunter, please be patient.]
Su Xiao realized that he would be able to know in advance which world he would enter if he had a higher level. The higher the level was, the more and earlier he would be able to learn about his next world, which meant that he would have more time to prepare.
But right now, he would be notified only ten minutes before teleporting to the world, and that wouldn't be enough time to prepare.
After leaving his room, Su Xiao headed towards the shopping market.
Although there were people selling various goods in all the streets of Paradise, basically only in the market could one find something really good in the shortest amount of time.
The green weapons that Su Xiao had seen earlier were being sold in the market.
— Directory of materials! We sell various reference books!
— What's the price, 700 Paradise coins? Why don't you just go and rob a bank?
— We buy any materials at a fair price.
— Do not pass by, all types of food for restoring health are sold only here!
Crowds of people were walking around the markets, and various merchants were calling people over nonstop.
Su Xiao still had 2,827 Paradise Coins.
As Su Xiao stopped in front of a shop that displayed various kinds of food, he noticed a few contractors who looked hesitant.
It was a shop Su Xiao had seen several times before. The owner of the shop was an employee who was very active in calling people.
Compared to the contractors 'shops, Su Xiao was more interested in the employees' shops.
Many contractors treated the items they obtained in other worlds as some sort of incredible treasure. They set high prices and behaved arrogantly.
The employees were different. They had lived in this place for years and were well versed in the prices of Paradise.
If suddenly a large number of contractors with dark entities joined Paradise, then the price of items with light attributes increased significantly.
Prices always changed depending on the needs of contractors, and this was a firm law. Employees practically did not speculate on prices. They also occasionally had to enter other worlds, and they didn't forget that they might face the wrath of some resentful contractor there.
Su Xiao found some decent looking goods on this shop.
[Salty Rice Ball.
Origin: Torika.

[Golden fried rice.

[Health Potion XT-12
Origin: Paradise for Reincarnators, Glow Pharmacy № 3».
Type: Potion.
Effect: After consumption, it restores 15% of health in a short time.
Score: 8 (Note: White items are rated from 1 to 10. A white item with a rating of " 10 "will be marked as "Rare" and will have unique attributes).
Description: Manufactured by a certified Raya company. Completely secure.]
These three types of health recovery products looked pretty good. Although the golden fried rice could restore the most health, it would have to be eaten whole and wait for a certain amount of time to do so.
The salty rice ball was like golden fried rice, but it could be eaten in a few moments. Su Xiao could practically eat it in two bites, which made it possible to consider it as an emergency remedy.
The best thing out of the three items was the X-12 potion. Although this potion could only restore 15% of one's health, it could be consumed very quickly during combat.
In the midst of a battle, it would be difficult to use any of these three items, but that didn't mean they had no value. They were the best choice for recovering from battle.
— Boss, what's the price?
The shop boss saw that Su Xiao had the intention to buy something from him, unlike the other contractors who only pretended to look at his goods.
— A lump of rice 100 coins, golden rice 200 coins, potion 700 coins, if you take all together, you will need to give only 1000 coins. I can see that you really want to buy something from me, so I gave you the lowest possible price.
The price of rice wasn't high, but the potion cost as much as 700 coins.
But it was the kind of thing that could save a life in a critical situation, so this price was acceptable.
With just one such bottle, the contractor could recover and run away in the blink of an eye.
— The price is quite high, maybe...
After a little haggling, Su Xiao bought one potion, two portions of fried rice, and five rice balls for 1,500 coins.
The shop boss was very pleased and told Su Xiao the best way to apply these products.
Although the salted rice ball could only restore 10% health, it was easy to eat.
These items didn't have a parameter like "cooldown time" until the next use or anything like that, but if he consumed these products for a short period of time in large quantities, their effect would decrease to the point of almost completely nullifying the main property.
— Brother, I wish you good luck, I hope to see you again, " the shop boss shook Su Xiao's hand, smiling sincerely.
Employees were different from contractors. They rarely saw truly horrifying pictures. Most employees haven't actually killed anyone in their entire lives.
— Thank you for your kind words.
After Su Xiao wandered around the market for a while longer, he received a notification from Paradise.
[In ten minutes, the Hunter will be teleported to the derived world.
Derived World: Tokyo Ghoul.]
