Chapter 66: Point-Blank Mine Laying
Seeing the specific performance of the Magnetic Explosion Hunter, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow and immediately contacted Bubu Wang.
In less than half an hour, Bubu Wang returned to the Exclusive Room, along with Baha and Amu.
"Woof?"
Bubu Wang had run rather urgently and was now panting with its tongue out, out of breath.
"This thing, bury one and test its effect."
Su Xiao tossed the Magnetic Explosion Hunter to Bubu Wang. In its initial state, the Magnetic Explosion Hunter was about the size of a pineapple, with eight pull rings hanging down around it.
Bubu Wang caught the Magnetic Explosion Hunter in a somewhat comical pose. After checking its performance, it first merged into the environment. Two seconds later, Bubu Wang posted a message in the team channel, indicating it had finished burying it.
Su Xiao closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. He sensed for a long time but didn't detect anything.
Since he couldn't sense it, he had to rely on physical means to find it. Su Xiao looked at a metal rod, preparing to use it to probe the way.
Just as Su Xiao took a step forward.
Click~
A crisp sound came from under his feet. The Magnetic Explosion Hunter Bubu Wang had buried was only half a meter away from Su Xiao...
The Magnetic Explosion Hunter under Su Xiao's foot fully extended, and blue light surged on it.
[Prompt: Charm Attribute being judged...]
[Friendly Charm Attribute is 105 times that of the Hunter, judgment failed.]
[Magnetic Explosion Hunter activated. 50% of this magnetic energy explosion damage will be converted into True Damage.]
[Damage prediction: This will deal 395 points of True Damage + 120 points of explosion damage (due to the Hunter's multiple defense reductions).]
[Magnetic Explosion Hunter has been deactivated by the Hunter.]
...
Su Xiao pressed down hard with his toe, tapped the Magnetic Explosion Hunter a few times with both hands, and deactivated it. This was a unique privilege of his, after all, he had made the thing.
"Very good."
Su Xiao returned the Magnetic Explosion Hunter to Bubu Wang. The power of this thing wasn't too terrifying, at least in Su Xiao's view. The main scary part was the True Damage. As for the explosion damage, unless it hit a ranged or healing type, it wouldn't be too strong.
But if someone stepped on several in a row, that would be very bad.
After Bubu Wang's burial, the Magnetic Explosion Hunter also merged into the environment, just not as thoroughly as Bubu Wang's own merging, making it possible to be detected.
Even so, it was completely sufficient. Su Xiao could already foresee Bubu Wang's future shenanigans.
When others set traps, they meticulously calculate. Bubu Wang, that rascal, completely ignored all that. The Magnetic Explosion Hunter it buried was practically shoved into the enemy's mouth. Perhaps while the enemy was having dinner, Bubu Wang would set a Magnetic Explosion Hunter on the dining table. The enemy would just pick up a piece of bread, and boom~
"Woof!"
Bubu Wang hugged the Magnetic Explosion Hunter. Such a fun thing, of course it wanted a few more.
Su Xiao had Bubu Wang make a trip to the Mechanical Sister's place to get materials, then he started batch-producing Magnetic Explosion Hunters.
Five hours later, Su Xiao had produced 21 Magnetic Explosion Hunters, failing three times in the process. Counting the previous one, Bubu Wang's storage space now held 22 Magnetic Explosion Hunters.
If Bubu Wang took a disliking to someone and relentlessly bombed a single enemy, even if that person managed to survive by luck, they would be severely traumatized.
When Beini returned, Su Xiao's Mana Points had mostly recovered, and he started producing [Radiance Potions].
With material shares for a total of 20 potions, he succeeded with 11. A success rate over half was already quite good. Beini took the 11 [Radiance Potions] to the Trade Market.
Radiance Potions were Su Xiao's stable income, earning him around 1.5 million to 2 million Paradise Coins each time.
At the mixing table, Su Xiao stretched, his joints cracking. He had been sitting here for nearly ten hours.
Brewing a cup of tea and lighting a cigarette, Su Xiao started watching a silly program from the Void, [Feather Race Princess and the Barbatos Ruins]. The name didn't sound like much, but it was actually really silly. Su Xiao watched it mainly to understand some of the Feather Race's culture and history. It was a program that was both silly and a serious educational piece.
What Su Xiao couldn't figure out was that the Feather Race had many princesses, but this little princess was actually a goofball. Her face, pressed close to the camera, was extremely beautiful, but her expression was unbearable to look at.
"Hahaha, this silly princess."
Bystander Baha was watching with great interest. Just then, Su Xiao received a mail, a pure black envelope.
"Finally responded."
Su Xiao opened the mail, and a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[Hunter is about to remotely contact the Void Demon Race.]
[This contact is of a unilateral transaction nature. The Hunter may terminate it at any time.]
[The Demon Race has not signed a treaty with Reincarnation Paradise and cannot remotely transmit items into Reincarnation Paradise.]
...
Closing Reincarnation Paradise's prompt, Su Xiao wasn't surprised by this situation. Basically, all major races wouldn't sign treaties with Reincarnation Paradise. Instead, some medium and small races liked to sign treaties with Reincarnation Paradise. But such treaties had exclusivity. If the treaty was abused, the madmen of Reincarnation Paradise would come to "pay a visit."
Don't underestimate Reincarnation Paradise. The madmen of Reincarnation Paradise were also famous in the Void. This fame was earned through killing. Interestingly, the major races in the Void liked to sign treaties with Apocalypse Paradise, but only in terms of mineral trade.
Basic Void Knowledge: The madmen of Reincarnation Paradise are not to be trifled with. Unless it's a life-or-death situation, don't attempt to accept help from this mysterious entity. Once you breach the contract, the madmen of Reincarnation Paradise will come knocking, even if you hide at the bottom of the Black Abyss, they will drag you out.
There is absolutely no possibility of negotiation, bargaining, or bribery, until that race is completely annihilated.
If a group of Reincarnation madmen is wiped out, a larger group will come immediately. If that large group is wiped out, thousands, even tens of thousands will come, until all enemies are killed, never stopping until death!
A virtual screen appeared. Due to unstable signals, the image on the virtual screen was very blurry.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"
"Move closer."
"Don't push me. We consumed so many resources, we didn't fail to connect, did we? Damn it, Father will definitely skin me alive."
The voice of Succubus Lilim came from the screen. Soon, the image cleared, and a face pressed extremely close filled the entire screen.
"Kati, get away from me."
Lilim's voice came again, and the face pressed close to the screen belonged to a small demon with bright eyes. This small demon was female, and from her horns, she was a combat-type Demon Race.
"Ahem, long time no see. Are you going by Kukulin now? Is this recipient name okay?"
Succubus Lilim's expression was serious. Clearly, her need for the Black Maple Tree Branch was more urgent than imagined.
"No problem."
Su Xiao pushed away Bubu Wang's dog head. This rascal kept trying to steal the spotlight.
"Woof?"
Bubu Wang barked.
"Oh? What did Bubu say? Help me negotiate the price?"
Lilim forced a smile.
"It's asking, where is that sheep girl from last time?"
The sheep girl Bubu Wang was asking about was Lilim's sister, Battle Demon Lilith. Last time they cooperated in the Black Abyss, Lilith was bullied quite badly by Bubu Wang.
"She's in the war zone. We've started fighting with the Feather Race again. Those feathered bastards, sooner or later we'll wipe them out!"
Lilim slammed a black stone table, then winced in pain, holding her lower back with one hand while muttering something under her breath.
"I've obtained the Black Maple Tree Branch, a total of 30 grams."
Su Xiao took out a piece of wood as white and clean as jade. After prolonged exposure to the air, the Black Maple Tree Branch would turn into this form.
"Thank you. Although we are allies, what do I need to give in return?"
Lilim was clearly well-versed in social graces. Allies were allies, but for items like the Black Maple Tree, business was business.
