Chapter 94: Recouping Costs and the Auction
Two Legendary Chests were placed on the wooden table. Judging by Beini's expression, she seemed ready to snatch the chests and run at any moment, using them to regain her 'startup capital.'
Considering the power of Su Xiao's big mouth, Beini was clearly hesitant, sitting beside the chests in indecision.
Su Xiao ignored Beini. He took out Destiny Redemption, lit a cigarette, and with the Lucky King status active, he immediately felt a distinct change. The world around him seemed different. He casually took out a coin and tossed it high.
"Center."
With a *ding*, the coin landed on the wooden table and bounced. Due to the angle, it rolled towards one of the chests, finally resting against it.
The coin stood upright on the table. Seeing this, Su Xiao gained an assessment of his 10 Luck Attribute points. It wasn't that he used his fortune to control the coin, but rather an inexplicable feeling that the coin would land upright on the table.
Of course, many conditions were needed for the coin to stand, such as the height of the bounce, the speed of the roll, and the placement of the chests.
Su Xiao picked up one of the chests from the table. He let out a long breath and opened it. This was the chest dropped by the Polar Giant Crocodile, while the other was dropped by the Lumberjack Buck. Undoubtedly, Buck's chest had higher value.

Introduction: If you can stand its fishy smell, you can try drinking it.
Selling Price: 198,000 Paradise Coins.
Seeing the properties of [Polar Blood], Su Xiao's eyes lit up. This was a good item. He was particularly interested in Effect 1 of [Polar Blood].
If Su Xiao were to drink [Polar Blood], he would first refine it. Drinking the raw blood sample would not only be wasteful, but the debuff effect alone would be unbearable.

Introduction: If you are in the jungle, then you are the child of the jungle.
Price: 218,000 Paradise Coins.
Su Xiao closed the equipment information in front of him. The properties of [Jungle Predator] seemed ordinary, hardly matching its Legendary status. However, this equipment was very suitable for a certain type of Contractor.
If [Jungle Predator] fell into the hands of such a Contractor and they were in a forest, their combat effectiveness would be terrifying. The entire forest would become their domain.
However, the 80-point True Charm Attribute requirement made Su Xiao mentally classify this equipment as trash. Even Bubu Wang couldn't use it, or rather, Bubu couldn't unleash its true power.
Looking at the Legendary Medals, Soul Crystals, and other items laid out on the wooden table, Su Xiao suddenly realized that opening one Legendary Chest had already recouped most of his costs.
With the bountiful harvest from the first chest, Su Xiao picked up the second one. As soon as the chest opened, a dazzling golden light burst forth.
The moment the light appeared, Su Xiao knew that the cost of upgrading the Goddess's Favor had been fully recouped!
[You have opened a Chest (Legendary).]
[You have obtained Legendary Medal ×5.]
[You have obtained Soul Crystal (Large) ×8.]
[You have obtained Axe Mastery Lv.10 Scroll.]
An ancient-looking scroll appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and his heartbeat quickened. A Grandmaster-level scroll. Having mastered the Blade Mastery ability himself, Su Xiao knew exactly how powerful Grandmaster-level basic abilities were.
He had no idea how many resources he had spent to raise his Blade Technique to the Grandmaster level. And now, he had directly obtained a Grandmaster-level scroll from a chest. Even more surreal was that using this scroll would grant Axe Mastery at an initial level of Lv.10. This wasn't just recouping costs; it was a massive profit. Su Xiao suddenly regretted not upgrading the Goddess's Favor to... maybe he could go and join the fun.
Su Xiao put away the Soul Crystals and other materials. He was considering whether to go to the Commercial Street and join the fun.
Right after returning to Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao had received an invitation from Kuang Hu.
Su Xiao and Kuang Hu had become friends through their fight. Although Kuang Hu had taken the top spot in the Third Rank Arena, he wasn't a petty person. On the contrary, he often invited Su Xiao to arena battles, which Su Xiao mostly declined. Fighting Kuang Hu was too uncomfortable; the guy could attack, tank, heal, and control. He could do everything except give birth.
Kuang Hu invited Su Xiao to an auction. This auction was jointly organized by three parties: Divine Emperor, Blood Gate, and Black Sail.
Undoubtedly, this auction had a lot of prestige. But what surprised Su Xiao was that Divine Emperor and Blood Gate had teamed up, as they were previously somewhat hostile.
Initially, Su Xiao wasn't interested in this auction because he had nothing to auction off and wasn't likely to buy anything. His Paradise Coins were barely enough to enhance his own abilities.
But now, having obtained Axe Mastery from the chest, Su Xiao clearly had something to auction.
After contacting Kuang Hu, Su Xiao learned that the auction would start at 8 AM the next morning. After a moment's hesitation, he sent the information for [Jungle Predator] and [Axe Mastery Lv.10 Scroll] over. Kuang Hu naturally extended a warm invitation again.
When Contractors hold an auction, they prepare the items in advance and then promote them. This process takes a while. Once the auction starts, it usually ends within two hours. The process is simple and straightforward; no one beats around the bush, and the best items come first.
Compared to the auction tomorrow, Su Xiao was more interested in upgrading his Blade Technique.
Upgrading the Blade Technique required two conditions, which were:
