Chapter 62: Luck
Su Xiao took the Remnant Moonlight from his storage space and tossed the sword to Amu, instructing him to use it to clear out the Dark Watchers within the city and test if he could continue accumulating the black patterns.
"Bai Ye, I've received a new mission."
Xia's conscription mission had been completed, and the rewards she obtained had lifted her mood from cloudy to sunny.
"What mission?"
"Playing a supporting role."
Xia's reply left Su Xiao somewhat puzzled.
"The mission content is to assist our side's combat forces in cleaning up the Dark Source · Azathoth. I'm probably cannon fodder plus logistics. It's a mission with no penalty."
The logistics Xia mentioned was, of course, cooking.
"This is a reward-type mission."
Su Xiao naturally understood why Xia had received such a mission. First, Xia was only a second-rank worker. Her original task was to negotiate with the representative of the Holy Light Paradise side. After the transaction was sabotaged, she was left to fend for herself.
Xia had managed to preserve a small amount of space-time power, which allowed her to escape danger and gain an opportunity—namely, accepting the conscription to assist Su Xiao in destroying the Bronze Gate.
Now that the Bronze Gate had been taken out of this world, Xia's mission completion rate was not low, so she obtained this reward-type mission. It was worth noting that when Xia left this world, there would be no world settlement. This reward mission was equivalent to the world settlement that Reincarnation Paradise was rewarding her.
"When you fight the Dark Source · Azathoth, I'll cheer you on, but I can only watch the whole time."
"Mental support."
Baha started spouting nonsense again. Xia chuckled, as that was indeed the case—mental support.
Su Xiao waited for about half an hour before Amu returned. After using the Remnant Moonlight to kill the Dark Watchers, he found that he could no longer accumulate the black patterns.
Su Xiao wasn't disappointed by this. He stood up and walked out of the city of Aisenla. He needed to return to Helu first, then depart from Bone Harbor to the island where the Dark Source · Azathoth resided. The subsequent task was simple: reach that island, kill the Dark Source · Azathoth, or be killed by it.
To return to Helu, the spatial rift they had used to come here was likely no longer usable, and the teleportation array at the Wizard Association branch had long been destroyed by Sfenke. Therefore, Su Xiao had to first reach the nearby "Yizi City" and use the teleportation array at the Wizard Association branch there to return to Helu.
An hour and a half later, the light on the teleportation array faded. Xia leaned against the stone wall, her face pale.
"This way, Xia. That's a wall! Hey, pull yourself together."
Baha raised a wing to support Xia. After more than ten seconds, Xia recovered a bit. The teleportation arrays between Wizard Association branches were simply too crude, and the teleportation experience was terrible—like riding an elevator that spiraled straight up.
"Ugh~"
Kaisa vomited, but this bastard was actually holding a vomit bag. It was worth noting that Kaisa was not a hygiene-conscious goblin.
Realizing this, Bubu Wang's dog face stiffened, and his abdomen began to twitch, clearly nauseated.
Su Xiao didn't go to the Old God Church upstairs. Instead, he descended the stairs and left the Wizard Association headquarters through the main entrance, heading straight for the Sleep House.
Over ten minutes later, Su Xiao returned to the Sleep House and sat on a wooden chair beneath the hanging lamp. The Mourning Maiden had already left, staying behind in the Old God Church.
Su Xiao didn't go directly to find the Dark Source · Azathoth, not only because he was currently injured but also because he wanted to open all the treasure chests he had obtained earlier.
After Su Xiao killed the Dominator · Sothoth, as long as he remained in this world, his Luck attribute would be temporarily increased by 10 points.
With such a good opportunity, how could Su Xiao not open treasure chests? After using the Cursed Gold Coin to permanently gain 1 point of Luck attribute, his Luck attribute reached 10 points.
Adding the temporary 10-point increase from this world, Su Xiao's Luck attribute reached 20 points for the first time.
Don't forget, after using Fate Dominator, Su Xiao could temporarily increase his Luck attribute by another 10 points for ten minutes.
This way, Su Xiao's Luck attribute reached an unprecedented 30 points! Such an opportunity was truly rare and hard to come by.
"Woof!"
Bubu Wang's expression was solemn. Baha and Amu also looked serious. They all knew that Su Xiao was about to open the treasure chests.
"What... what's going on?"
Xia was stunned. Even during the previous battles, she hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere—a tragic determination mixed with a struggle against fate.
"Just a Scarlet Card."
As Su Xiao spoke, he lit a cigarette. A pale golden smoke drifted, and a very distinct feeling emerged. The entire world seemed different, but as for what exactly was different, Su Xiao couldn't yet perceive.
Two Epic Chests and one Scarlet Card appeared in Su Xiao's hands. The first one he opened was an Epic Chest dropped by a female wizard.
The chest opened in Su Xiao's hands, and a dazzling golden light surged forth. It was a flash!
[You have opened an Epic Chest (47%).]
[You have obtained: Wolf Rider (Gold Set Component 8/8).]
...
Several pieces of equipment fell to the ground. There were too many items obtained, so Su Xiao only caught one arm guard.
"So this thing originates from the Wizard World."
Su Xiao stored the equipment in his hand into his storage space and picked up the remaining seven pieces from the ground.
Su Xiao had certainly heard of the "Wolf Rider Set." If the Demon Hunter Set was the dream set for melee fighters, and the Ascension Set was the ideal for healers, then the Wolf Set was the most coveted set for ranged classes, bar none.
The Wolf Set consisted of eight pieces. Strangely, these pieces were rarely sold individually; they always appeared as a complete set. Now it seemed that the Wizard World was the origin of the Wolf Set.
If he sold this to ranged contractors, no ranged class would refuse it. The only reason they wouldn't buy it was if, after selling everything they had, they still didn't have enough Paradise Coins.
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao decided to sell this to the Divine Emperor Adventure Group. He hadn't sold items to that large adventure group for a while. They had grown fat and were ripe for a good shearing.
The yield from the first chest already satisfied Su Xiao. The 30-point Luck attribute wasn't just for show; it had indeed turned Su Xiao into a Lucky King in a short time.
As for the second chest, it was obtained from a mission and would definitely produce a full-rated Epic equipment. He could choose the weapon type and embed two Epic gems.
After thinking it over, Su Xiao decided to choose a longsword-type weapon. Upgrading Dragon-Slaying Flash to the Holy Spirit rank was not a simple process. It required many Epic weapons, and Epic weapons were hard to acquire—most were used within teams, with few circulating.
[You have opened an Epic Chest.]
[You have obtained: Red · Holy Maiden (Epic Weapon).]
...
Su Xiao checked the attributes of the Red · Holy Maiden. It was a full-rated longsword, entirely fiery red, with two effects: Scorch and Holy Flame. Scorch was a status-type ability, while Holy Flame dealt high Holy attribute damage, suitable for dealing with poison, curse, and dark-type enemies. Su Xiao had Cyan Steel Shadow energy and didn't need this ability.
There was one last Scarlet Card, dropped after Sfenke's death. This old Yinbi likely had good stuff in his storage space.
[Yes/No to use Scarlet Card ().]
Su Xiao chose to use it. The Scarlet Card gradually dissolved, turning into a clump of pale red liquid. After floating for a moment, it began to spin rapidly, forming a blood-red vortex in front of Su Xiao.
The blood-red vortex was just big enough to fit an arm. Su Xiao reached his hand inside. He had three chances.
After groping around, Su Xiao grabbed an item that felt hard and was quite large. He pulled his arm out, and a notification from Reincarnation Paradise appeared. Seeing this notification, even Su Xiao found it hard to believe.
[You have obtained: Starfall Furnace (Holy Spirit Rank Item, Usable Times: 1/3).]
[Tip: This item is a unique product of Apocalypse Paradise.]
