Chapter 24: The Unexpected Person
Contractor No. 13013. (To protect the Hunter, this is a false number. No method can lock onto the Hunter.)
Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)
Level: LV.2 (First Rank). Every 10 levels is one rank. Level increases grant no attribute bonuses; they represent the Hunter's authority within the "Paradise" and correspond to world difficulty, mission difficulty, etc.
Health: 100% (This attribute cannot be fully digitized and changes based on injury severity.)
Mana: 153 (Intelligence × 10. Current Mana recovery rate: 4 points per hour.)
Strength: 12 (Related to attack power, carrying capacity, etc.)
Agility: 10 (Related to movement, attack speed, etc.)
Endurance: 6 (Related to Health, defense, abnormal status resistance, etc.)
Intelligence: 12 (Related to magic damage, Mana, perception, etc.)
Charm: 3 (Related to social interaction, summoning, etc.)
Luck: 1 (Related to item opening, crafting, etc. This attribute is extremely difficult to increase. Hunters should cherish opportunities for improvement.)
Note: The standard attributes for an adult male are 5 points. Luck is 1 point.
Kill Talent: Soul Devourer. After killing a target, permanently steal 1-15 Mana points.
This talent can steal a maximum of 100 Mana points per world.
...
After receiving the inheritance of [Shadow of Law Destruction], Su Xiao's attributes underwent earth-shattering changes.
Strength directly increased from the original 7 points to 12 points.
Agility also changed considerably, rising from 7 points to 10 points.
Intelligence also increased from the original 6 points to 12 points.
The enhancement in Strength and Agility immediately showed its effects.
Su Xiao tentatively threw a punch. A sound of air being split came. The power of this single punch was several times stronger than before.
He casually ran forward a few steps, then immediately stopped, because he nearly crashed into the wall. This sudden increase in speed made him somewhat uncomfortable.
This sudden surge in power made his heart race.
If he had these attributes back in the Pirate World, assassinating the King would have been as easy as turning his hand. He wouldn't have needed three days; give him six hours, and he could have finished it.
This, this is power. How intoxicating it is. Even risking his life to pursue it would be worth it.
However, he still needed some time to adapt to this suddenly enhanced attribute. If he were to fight right now, he would be very unaccustomed to it.
Once he adapted to his current attributes, his combat power would reach an astonishing level.
"Shadow of Law Destruction, huh. Truly a surprising gain."
Just as he was about to close his personal information, he suddenly noticed that his skill option was flashing.
Opening the skill panel, the skill panel had also changed considerably. From being completely blank, a skill tree had appeared.
A notification from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[Because the Hunter has obtained the unique class [Shadow of Law Destruction], the skill list has changed accordingly.]
Shadow of Law Destruction (Unique)
Skill One.
Azure Steel Shadow: LV.1 (Active Skill)
Usage Condition: After activating (Azure Steel Shadow), the Hunter consumes 2 Mana points per minute. Automatically deactivates when Mana falls below 1%.
Skill Effect: After activating (Azure Steel Shadow), each melee attack will drain 10 Mana points from the enemy and deal an equal amount of True Damage. The enemy will suffer intense pain from the Mana burn.
...
Skill Two.
Blade Specialization: LV.1 (Passive Skill)
Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 10% and proficiency with blade-type weapons.
(Note: Technique-type abilities are divided into levels: Basic < Proficient < Specialized < Master, etc. The higher the level, the higher the growth potential. The probability of obtaining a Specialized level ability is extremely low.)
...
Skill Three.
Absolute Magic Resistance Constitution: Lv.MAX.
Skill Effect: Cannot master/learn any spell-type skills.
...
Skill Four, Unlocked. Requires Soul Crystal (Small), 1000 Paradise Coins to unlock.
...
Su Xiao understood what he had obtained. He had received a complete class inheritance.
This class was called [Shadow of Law Destruction]. Looking at the skills above, Su Xiao realized that this class was the natural enemy of mage-type classes.
After activating [Azure Steel Shadow], each of his melee attacks would burn the enemy's Mana.
When a mage has no Mana left, they are completely useless, only able to hit people with their staff.
But what puzzled Su Xiao was whether there were actually mage-type beings in Reincarnation Paradise.
Although Shadow of Law Destruction increased quite a few attributes and allowed him to master two very strong skills, it wasn't without drawbacks. He would be unable to learn spell-type skills in the future.
It was still too early to consider these things now. As for Shadow of Law Destruction's fourth skill, Su Xiao wasn't in a hurry to unlock it. He wanted to first see what Reincarnation Paradise looked like.
Pushing open the door, the sound of a noisy crowd came through, and the appearance of Reincarnation Paradise unfolded before his eyes.
Large buildings came into Su Xiao's view. The buildings varied in style; some were made of metal, some were built from brick and stone, and some seemed to be formed from some kind of creature, with liquid occasionally seeping from their surfaces.
Because of these rows of buildings, Reincarnation Paradise formed various streets.
Looking up at the sky, the top of Reincarnation Paradise was a milky white membrane, like an inverted bowl, covering the entire Reincarnation Paradise.
The ground underfoot was a kind of pale yellow gelatinous substance, not particularly soft, but very flat.
The area of Reincarnation Paradise was very large. At least, Su Xiao couldn't see the end.
People dressed in various outfits walked on the streets. Some wore full body armor, others held staffs and wore robes, clearly dressed as mages.
Su Xiao felt like he might have walked into some kind of cosplay convention. People in all sorts of strange costumes appeared one after another.
Some even sat directly by the roadside, laying a carpet in front of them, and started hawking their wares.
"White quality 6-rated firearm, 700 Paradise Coins, poor bastards get lost."
"5% Health Recovery Potion, 1000 Paradise Coins, 20% off for three or more bottles."
"Willing to pay a fortune for a Mage Lord's protection. My next world difficulty is Lv.3. Price is negotiable."
The tone of these people gave Su Xiao a familiar feeling, leading him to speculate that perhaps these people in Reincarnation Paradise all came from the Real World.
For example, words like "bastards" and "Mage Lord" were rarely heard in derivative worlds.
Su Xiao walked out of the room and began to wander around Reincarnation Paradise. He needed to understand this place as quickly as possible.
"Hey, brother, want to take a look at my goods? They're really cheap. I'm about to enter a derivative world and desperately need Paradise Coins to survive."
A man in a suit, with a misty face, called out to Su Xiao.
Su Xiao turned his head to look, finding that the other party wasn't covering his face, but he simply couldn't make out his features no matter how hard he tried.
Stopping in front of the suited man's stall, Su Xiao began to examine the items he was selling.
The goods were all laid out on a black cloth, placed directly on top, with no concern that someone might steal them.
Su Xiao casually picked up an item and immediately understood the reason.
[Beast Bone]
Quality: White
Type: Material
Rating: 1 (Note: White materials have a rating of 1 to 10. The higher the rating, the more precious the material.)
Description: The bone of an ordinary wild beast.
[This item is the property of another person. It cannot be taken more than one meter away. It cannot be stored in the storage space. Ownership rights must be purchased to obtain it.]
...
It seemed that in Reincarnation Paradise, selling goods came with certain guarantees.
But to be honest, the items in front of the suited man were all pretty mediocre.
"Is this stuff really useful?"
The suited man gave a dry laugh, but his expression showed some displeasure.
"This is something I got at the risk of my life. I almost died trying to kill that rhinoceros.
How about this, brother, 30 Paradise Coins. This beast bone might not have a high rating, but it's a material for making weapons."
Su Xiao shook his head, dropped the beast bone, and continued wandering.
"Hey, you, the newbie over there. Yeah, you."
A little girl with white hair and blue eyes called out to Su Xiao. After clearly seeing the little girl's appearance, Su Xiao was momentarily stunned.
"Kon~, Kanna?"
PS: (Wah, I cried out loud. I update twice a day, never miss a day. When have I ever only updated once~~. It's the new book period, I really can't update too fast. I promise everyone, I will have a burst of updates after going on the paid chapters list, and I will resume three updates a day.)
