Chapter 85: A Surprise?
Inside the Reincarnation Paradise, Attribute Enhancement Hall.
[Welcome, Hunter. You are using No. 129 High-Grade Enhancement Pod. Verified as a Seventh-Rank Hunter, you may use this High-Grade Enhancement Pod free of charge.]
[True Attribute Points available for distribution: 28.]
The pod door closed. Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the floor and began distributing his True Attribute Points. His allocation was: Strength +7, Agility +7, Stamina +7, Intelligence +7.
After this enhancement, he would be close to breaking through the 200-point threshold for all four attributes. Thinking of this, Su Xiao activated the Attribute Enhancement Pod.
Hum~
The pod began to operate. A strange energy, invisible to the naked eye, surged from the surroundings, enveloping Su Xiao. Given his current physical condition, enhancing attributes no longer caused any discomfort, not even a slight sting. However, the sensation of his body gradually growing stronger was more pronounced.
Over an hour later, the pod stopped. Su Xiao opened his eyes and checked his unmodified attributes.
Strength: 194
Agility: 194
Stamina: 194
Intelligence: 194
Charm: 0 (About to drop again.)
Soul Strength: 380
Luck: 30
...
[Warning: The Hunter's Charm attribute has dropped to 0 points.]
Su Xiao had a very strong feeling that his Charm attribute would drop into negative values within the next few days. For him, this was a benefit.
The change in his Blood Qi was the most obvious manifestation. Su Xiao could sense that his Blood Qi was about to awaken again.
He even suspected that it might awaken before returning to the Real World. This was undoubtedly good news. He could then go to the Ancient Battlefield to enhance his Blood Qi again.
Su Xiao moved his right arm, adapting to his newly strengthened body. The pod opened, and he walked towards the Enhancement Hall. Bubu Wang and Baha were already waiting at the door. They had also come to the Attribute Enhancement Hall for Potential Activation.
Every time a world settlement occurred, as long as the overall evaluation reached A+ or above, Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Beini could each undergo one Potential Activation, thereby enhancing their physical attributes or ability levels.
Bringing Bubu Wang and Baha back to the Exclusive Room, Amu was not there. He had probably gone to find a place to eat. For Amu, this was a top priority. The 'delicacies' of the last world were best left unmentioned.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao took out a pile of chests. He wanted to open all the Holy Spirit Chests first. He had obtained quite a few Holy Spirit Chests this time.
Su Xiao selected seven Holy Spirit Chests, their suffix ratings ranging from 29% to 85%. He prepared for a seven-in-a-row Holy Spirit opening to see how his luck was lately.
Lighting a cigarette, the Lucky King state activated. Su Xiao's Luck attribute reached an unprecedented 42 points! A base of 30, plus a temporary boost of 12 from Fate Dominator.
[You have opened Holy Spirit Chest ×7.]
[You obtained 850,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) ×5.]
[You obtained Crystalline Spear (Active Skill Scroll).]
[You obtained Legendary Medal ×27.]
[You obtained Talent Stone (Can upgrade the first talent ability, maximum upgrade to S-rank).]
[You obtained Radiant Gem (Epic Rank Gem).]
[You obtained Wooden Puppet Toy (Dwarf Clan Specialty · Rare Item).]
...
Su Xiao scrolled down the reward list, confirming that these were all the items obtained. He felt that something strange had mixed in.
He picked up the wooden toy that had fallen onto the bed and tossed it to Bubu Wang. Bubu Wang fiddled with it with his dog paw for a moment. After 3 seconds, he got bored and didn't look at it again.
"Boss, this thing might have a special use, like... uh... well..."
Baha hesitated for a long time, then his eyes lit up. He picked up the wooden toy, walked to the bedside table, and wedged it under a corner where a leg was broken. The height was perfect. Bubu Wang, however, looked a bit panicked.
Aside from this wooden toy, the rest was not bad. But overall, the yield from seven Holy Spirit Chests was below expectations.
Su Xiao took out the [Random Chest] and tossed it to Bubu Wang. The description of this chest noted, 'There is a chance to obtain special items from this chest.'
[Your follower, Bubuteni, has opened the Random Chest.]
[You obtained the Land of All Beings · Sixth Floor Permission Certificate. With this certificate, you can gain 30 hours of usage rights for the Land of All Beings · Sixth Floor by consuming Soul Coins.]
With Su Xiao's current authority, he could at most enter the Land of All Beings · Fifth Floor. The permissions for the Sixth and Seventh Floors had always been elusive. Now, he finally had a chance to explore the Sixth Floor.
With this start, Su Xiao tossed another chest-type item named [Box of Suffering] to Bubu Wang. Bubu didn't hesitate and opened it directly.
Pfft!
A large cloud of black smoke burst out from the [Box of Suffering]. Bubu Wang looked like he had just crawled out of a coal pile. Apart from his eyes, every other part of his body was pitch black.
"Woof?"
Bubu Wang tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.
[Your follower has opened the Box of Suffering. This is a special type of chest item. There is a low probability of bringing a positive effect.]
[Your follower, Bubuteni's, Luck attribute -25 points. Effect lasts 24 hours.]
...
Bubu Wang's 'landmine' taught Su Xiao one thing: apart from traditional chests like Epic, Holy Spirit, and Immortal ranks, other special chest items like [Box of Suffering] or [Sealing Box] had two extremes when opened.
If lucky, you could obtain high-quality special items. If unlucky, you might trigger debuff effects, trap mechanisms, or the like.
Traditional rank chests were different. Even if you were very unlucky opening them, there would be no negative effects. At worst, the yield would be low.
Su Xiao looked at the [Fate Chest] and the [Remains Chest · Dead Silence] in his hands. Both were special chests. The former was dropped by the World Child, Zange, and the latter was dropped by Agamemnon.
Even if the [Fate Chest] had traps or something, Su Xiao didn't care. But the [Remains Chest · Dead Silence] was a different story. Considering he was inside the Reincarnation Paradise at the moment, the probability of problems was negligible.
For example, Bubu Wang. If his Luck attribute were -25 points for 24 hours inside a mission world, it could be fatal. But inside the Reincarnation Paradise, at worst, he would just be unlucky. Like Bubu now, choking three times in a row while drinking cola, then sneezing and hitting his head on the doorframe.
