...
The True Attribute Point yield was decent. If Su Xiao had obtained 64.5% World Source, he would have gotten at most 5 to 7 True Attribute Points. As for the 'Equipment Decomposition/Reshaping/Synthesis Machine' usage authorization, Su Xiao wasn't sure what this facility was yet. To be safe, asking Lide for advice was a good choice, to avoid wasting this hard-earned authorization.
The Abnormal Attribute Resistance was an extra gain. The Curse Resistance played a decisive role at the final moment; otherwise, Su Xiao's time spent on the iceberg would have been very limited, provided that Amu didn't eat that purple crystal.
Returning to Reincarnation Paradise, the first thing Su Xiao did was crash and sleep. He was simply too tired. Bubu Wang went out to roam as soon as he got back. Beini bared her full set of sharp teeth, clearly on the verge of a rampage. Obviously, her treasure hunt this time hadn't gone well.
Having been locked up for over twenty days during the nearly month-long stay in the Dark Crow World, how could she be in a good mood? Because the reason for her capture was too embarrassing, Beini didn't ask for help. She would rather come back empty-handed than let Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu see that shameful and bizarre scene.
"Meow-roar!"
Beini let out a frustrated yowl. Su Xiao, who was just about to fall asleep, turned his head to look at her.
"Meow?"
Beini tilted her head, as if asking Su Xiao, "What's up?"
"Too noisy. Go howl outside."
As he spoke, Su Xiao transferred 20,000 Paradise Coins to Beini. He could tell from this cat's expression that she probably hadn't gained much in the Dark Crow World.
Receiving 20,000 Paradise Coins as pocket money, Beini was very happy and went out to engage in her guaranteed-loss financial management. Even so, Beini could gather a lot of intelligence, like price fluctuations for equipment, materials, recovery items, and such.
After sleeping for a full ten-plus hours, Su Xiao woke up slightly groggy. After washing up, he felt refreshed and energetic. It was time to deal with the rewards obtained from the Dark Crow World.

Paradise Coins: 32,500

...
This was Su Xiao's haul from the Dark Crow Continent. The gains were, of course, more than this, but most had already been directly converted into his strength.
After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao decided to first enhance his True Attributes, then open the chests, and finally consider which ability to invest resources into.
Looking at the five Legendary Chests in his storage space, Su Xiao was in a good mood. This was the first time he was opening five Legendary Chests simultaneously.
Leaving his exclusive room, Su Xiao took the familiar route to the Attribute Enhancement Hall. He skillfully opened an enhancement pod and allocated his attributes.
Currently, Su Xiao had 10 True Attribute Points. It was impossible to raise all four of his base attributes to 99 points, so he had to make a trade-off. His allocation was: Strength +2, Agility +3, Endurance +2, Intelligence +3.
The Attribute Enhancement Pod started operating. Su Xiao's exposed skin gradually turned red, and his blood flow rate increased to over five times the normal rate.
Half an hour later, when the Attribute Enhancement Pod stopped running, Su Xiao exhaled a puff of hot air. Beads of sweat dripped down his temples. He checked his attributes. His base attributes were as follows:
Strength: 98 points
Agility: 99 points
Endurance: 99 points
Intelligence: 99 points
...
Just one True Attribute Point short, and Su Xiao's four main attributes would all reach 99 points base. Counting the bonus from the Demon Hunting King, all four of his main attributes reached 99 points.
To break through the 99-point limit, Su Xiao first needed to obtain the qualification to advance to the Fifth Rank before he could have the possibility of breaking through. Otherwise, there was no way.
After enhancing his attributes, Su Xiao walked out of the Attribute Enhancement Hall. Contractors in various outfits walked past him, causing a smile to involuntarily appear on Su Xiao's face. This trip to the Dark Crow Continent was profitable. Earlier, he had thought he would die in the Misty Valley.
Since there wasn't much to do next, Su Xiao's pace was leisurely. He didn't keep a stern face all day; he was only 'somewhat' ferocious when killing enemies.
Ten minutes later, chewing on some food, Su Xiao pushed open the door to his exclusive room. As soon as he entered, he found Bubu Wang and Beini both inside, looking as if they were waiting for something. Amu was snoring loudly; he had been sleeping ever since returning to Reincarnation Paradise, and even if woken up, he seemed dazed.
Su Xiao knew what Bubu Wang and Beini were waiting for. He sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the chests one by one.
Beini and Bubu Wang would open the Purple and Golden quality chests, while Su Xiao focused on opening the Legendary Chests.
There were five Legendary Chests. Four of them were dropped by the Third Stage, Fourth Stage, and Fifth Stage witches. Lighting a cigarette and applying his Lucky King buff, Su Xiao opened these four Legendary Chests simultaneously. As for the last one, [Legendary Chest · Hunt], it needed to be opened separately.
[You have opened Chests (Legendary) ×4.]
[You have obtained 47,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have obtained 31,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have obtained 105,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have obtained 79,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have obtained Legendary Medal ×20.]
[You have obtained Death's Embrace (Legendary Skill Scroll).]
[You have obtained Incense Temptation (Golden Quality Consumable).]
[You have obtained Nameless Hero's Skeleton (Legendary Material).]
...
Su Xiao checked the [Death's Embrace] skill scroll and found it was a magic-type melee ability, clearly not something he could use. As for [Incense Temptation], its use was somewhat...
Su Xiao looked at the metallic incense burner in his hand. He had seen this item before. When the witch named Isaiah explored her inner self, the room was lit with this thing for aphrodisiac purposes.
[Nameless Hero's Skeleton] was a functional material. Su Xiao, who was proficient in Alchemy, was quite fond of this item, as it might come in handy at some point.
The base rewards from the four Legendary Chests were extremely impressive, as the yield was increased by 50%. As for the luck-based gains, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't a huge profit either.
Only one [Legendary Chest · Hunt] remained. Before opening this chest, Su Xiao thought of something on the spur of the moment: to 'dig a pit' for the Divine Emperor Adventure Group, ensuring that the Ascension Set would sell at a high price.
Before opening [Legendary Chest · Hunt], Su Xiao sent an email to Divine Emperor himself.
'Ascension Set, contact if interested.'
After a few seconds' delay, Su Xiao continued opening [Legendary Chest · Hunt]. Just then, Divine Emperor actually replied to the email.
'Which piece?'
Judging by Divine Emperor's reply speed, he was very interested in the Ascension Set.
'A full set.'
After replying with these two words to Divine Emperor, Su Xiao closed the email. Keeping him hanging for now was enough. [Legendary Chest · Hunt] slowly opened in his hands.
