# Chapter 3: Treeborn World
There is a unique resource in Treeborn World, try to seize this resource.
Among these three tasks, 1 and 2 take priority. Whenever Su Xiao checks his personal information now and sees the SSS-rank talent ability·Elemental King, his mood isn't good. This talent isn't garbage—it's exceptionally powerful. The problem is, as a Law Destroyer, he can't use this talent.
Aside from this, Su Xiao has long anticipated the Soul Severing Shadow ability. He currently has four [Soul Severing Shadow Stone·Fragments]. Finding one more would allow him to synthesize the [Soul Severing Shadow Inheritance Stone], thereby mastering the Soul Severing Shadow ability.
With a Law Destroyer's exclusive talent plus the Soul Severing Shadow ability, Su Xiao would be much more confident about exploring the true Dead Silence City later.
He absolutely had to go to the true Dead Silence City—it concerned whether he could use the Black King Bracer to transform his Willpower attribute into a True Attribute.
Su Xiao put on the [Prison Guard Copper Ring]. Although Grey Gentleman couldn't possibly come, who doesn't have an idiot subordinate? If Grey Gentleman really had a subordinate with a less-than-brilliant mind who came looking for him in the Real World, that would be a tremendous surprise.
As long as such a person came, Su Xiao could pry open their mouth and learn part of Grey Gentleman's plans.
Grey Gentleman's subordinates didn't come, but on the afternoon of that day, Su Xiao received Ji, the Dean, and Crazy Doctor. The three showed their faces briefly and left, meaning that if Su Xiao could avoid going to Treeborn World, he shouldn't go.
Worth mentioning, the Behind-the-Scenes Cooking Adventure Group still existed. This adventure group's team ability was too good. Crazy Doctor and the Dean were again competing in "perseverance," seeing who would first be unable to bear the team name and quit. Ji didn't participate in this contest—he couldn't afford the shame.
After these three left, the next morning, Yan Chen and Black Blood of Ming Sect, along with the OL-dressed beauty and Yan Chen's sister, all came. The four invited Su Xiao to go camping and fishing.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Xiao got into the SUV in the back, he saw the new vice-leader sitting in the back seat. The consumption rate of Ming Sect's vice-leaders was quite high.
It seemed this position had become one specifically for handling unstable factors. Ming Sect specialized in recruiting all kinds of lunatics, inevitably causing various internal problems.
Still at the familiar reservoir, the unique scent of the waterside drifted into his nostrils. As Su Xiao passed by, he glanced at the somewhat familiar grave mound. This was the vice-leader buried last time. They didn't even change the fishing spot—not afraid the new vice-leader would sense it.
Not to mention others, the OL-dressed beauty was in a good mood. Ming Sect basically had no team-building activities, so she held considerable anticipation for this fishing and camping trip.
Fishing in the morning, barbecue at noon, fishing again in the afternoon. When the setting sun dyed the water surface a sunset red...
Bang!
A dull sound came. Su Xiao couldn't be bothered to look. After lighting a cigarette, he exhaled a puff of smoke.
Under the OL-dressed beauty's stunned gaze, Yan Chen and Black Blood skillfully dug a large pit, right next to the previous vice-leader's grave mound.
Pack up, throw in the pit, bury with dirt, burn paper money at the grave—Black Blood's entire sequence was smooth and practiced. After all, this wasn't his first time doing this.
"Burying someone next to another person's grave... isn't that bad? It's disrespectful to the deceased."
The OL-dressed beauty's focus was strange. Hearing this, Black Blood smiled and said, "It's fine, this is Ling Munan's grave."
"Uh..."
The OL-dressed beauty was speechless. Ling Munan was the previous Ming Sect vice-leader. She had been wondering how the vice-leader had died in the Real World for no reason.
The two vice-leaders' grave mounds were neatly aligned. The position of Ming Sect Adventure Group's vice-leader was truly a dangerous one.
Su Xiao declined Yan Chen's dinner invitation. He had eaten hotpot just last night. If Yan Chen was treating, it would definitely be hotpot. That guy even ate hotpot for breakfast—absolutely insane.
Time passed in a flash. When the three-day stay limit was reached, Su Xiao received a notification from Reincarnation Paradise.
[Notification: The Hunter is about to return to Reincarnation Paradise. You must board the space shuttle to the transfer station within 1 hour and 45 minutes.]
Su Xiao had ridden a space shuttle before. Last time during the Five Paradise Battle in the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, he had taken one. It was an iron-black-red steel warship, exceptionally massive.
From the notification, it seemed this time he wouldn't be directly teleported to Treeborn World. He would first take a space shuttle in Reincarnation Paradise, then go to a space transfer station, transfer to a Void Tree-certified spacecraft, and only then arrive at Treeborn World. This showed the particularity of Treeborn World.
When the spatial fluctuations subsided, Su Xiao had already returned to his Exclusive Room. He had 1 hour and 45 minutes. Supplies had long been prepared. He checked his reserved 1580 Soul Coins and decided to invest 180 of them.
Among the seven basic passive abilities—Strength, Agility, Stamina, Intelligence, Charm, Perception, and Soul—Su Xiao had already mastered Stamina, Intelligence, and Soul.
Charm attribute basic passive was directly excluded. The remaining three basic passive scrolls—Strength, Agility, and Perception—were what Su Xiao needed. Especially the Strength and Agility types, which were crucial to him and would greatly enhance his combat power. The remaining Perception was no less important.
Top-tier basic passive scrolls, if they were rare types like Strength, Agility, Stamina, or Perception, could be easily sold for 12,000 Soul Coins in the Eighth Rank Trade Street.
Su Xiao planned to seize this opportunity to obtain a top-tier basic passive ability. The raised Ji·Youyouan had only just advanced to Second Rank. Even with the Wolf Spider bloodline, she wasn't strong enough. He wanted her to win steadily in the competition against other Second Rank contractors.
He had previously taken Youyouan to Reid's place. Equipment-wise, she shouldn't be lacking. To improve combat power, there were only two aspects: physical fitness and ability level.
Su Xiao walked into the Alchemy Laboratory, exchanged for various low-tier materials, and began concocting potions. When concocting these low-tier potions, Su Xiao made over a dozen bottles at once. With his experience and technique, he had over 90% confidence in producing Perfect-grade potions when concocting these low-tier permanent enhancement potions.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao took out two ordinary Apollos. But after consideration, this level of Apollo couldn't be given to Youyouan. Even if she wasn't within the explosion range, the shockwave spreading outward would be enough to kill her.
Su Xiao found over a dozen alchemy bombs he had made when he was Fifth Rank. These things looked like sugar cubes, with a texture similar to chewing gum. They were explosives usable in various situations. In the past, Su Xiao would suddenly throw one out during battles.
With the power of these dozen-plus alchemy bombs, a Second Rank contractor hit by one would die on the spot.
Besides the dozen-plus alchemy bombs, to be safe, Su Xiao took only 2 minutes to create an oldest-model Apollo, Purple quality.
After exchanging 5 million Paradise Coins through Soul Coins, Su Xiao contacted Youyouan through his mark, telling her to come immediately.
Five minutes later, a panting Youyouan stopped beside a flower bed. She had run all the way here.
"Mr. White Night, about the investment I mentioned earlier..."
Before Youyouan could finish, she received a trade notification.
[You have received 5,000,000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have received Soul Crystal (Medium) × 30.]
[You have received Vitality Potion·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Holy Scar Potion·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Ancient Demon Agent·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Dawn Flame·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Holy Dragon Guardian·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
...
...
[You have received Activity·Strength·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Activity·Stamina·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Activity·Heart·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
[You have received Radiance Potion·Perfect (Permanent Enhancement Potion).]
...
A flood of notifications appeared. Youyouan, who already seemed somewhat timid, nearly went weak at the knees, struck down by the power of wealth, almost uttering the classic line: "Are you my long-lost biological father?"
Before Youyouan could recover, over a dozen alchemy bombs and one Apollo had already been traded to her. Seeing the attributes of the original-version Apollo, Youyouan's eyes showed astonishment.
"With this sponsorship, can you ensure you'll seize what I want?"
"High probability, yes!"
Youyouan was uncharacteristically firm for once.
"I don't need high probability. I need to hear 'definitely.' There's no free lunch in this world. If you succeed, there will be subsequent rewards. If you fail..."
Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, Su Xiao smiled kindly at Youyouan and continued:
"If you fail, you'll serve as a 'vessel' for three world progressions. I happen to have several ideas that need 'vessels.'"
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the iron-blooded fierce bull Amu suddenly shuddered. Once, it had volunteered to help Su Xiao share his burdens, but 5 minutes later, Amu regretted it with all its heart.
"I won't die, right?"
Youyouan swallowed her saliva.
"No, but the process won't be pleasant. I'll wait for your good news."
Su Xiao stood up and headed toward the direction where the space shuttle was docked. There, he would learn which contractors from his side were also going to Treeborn World.
After walking for a few minutes, Su Xiao received a notification that [Wild Hunt Night] had been successfully upgraded to +10.

Su Xiao put on [Wild Hunt Night] and walked for a while before seeing the space shuttle parked on the open ground.
This space shuttle was a medium-sized spacecraft, black-red on the outside, with a rough and hard texture. The scratches on its surface indicated that space travel came with many unknown risks.
The side hatch of the spacecraft was open. Su Xiao climbed the steps and boarded. The interior was relatively spacious, with seats on both sides, no backrests, and complex safety belts on the cabin walls.
Over a dozen people were already waiting inside. Quite a few from his side were going to Treeborn World this time. The reason was that anyone who made it into the top ten of the Tree Arena at Seventh Rank would qualify for entry. Those in the top fifty had a certain probability of qualifying.
It seemed only 10 people could steadily enter, but don't forget that neither Su Xiao nor Grey Gentleman could permanently hold the top ten positions. After they advanced to Eighth Rank, latercomers could also fight into the top ten and gain entry qualifications.
Even though Grey Gentleman had previously used his other accounts to occupy half the top ten positions, quite a few people still gained entry qualifications.
After a while, a few more people boarded. Su Xiao's gaze turned to a forward position—it was his old friend Solomon.
Solomon had suddenly decided to participate in Treeborn World this time for some reason. He had previously said he didn't want to come.
At this moment, Solomon was draped in a loose black robe, wearing a hood, with gold trim on the edges of his robe. The vibe of a death-system archmage hit you in the face.
"Hurry! We're about to depart. Get your spirits up!"
"Third Brother, don't look like your dad just died. Cheer up!"
"Second Brother, your dad is also my dad."
"Wretch! Die!"
Bang!
Third Brother of National Football flew backward into the spacecraft. As soon as these three lively treasures arrived, half the people in the spacecraft wore speechless expressions.
A few minutes later, a figure in a Gothic dress walked into the spacecraft. The hatch behind her slowly closed.
Seeing the Three Brothers of National Football, the newcomer began to brew killing intent in her heart. Seeing this person, the Three Brothers of National Football all smiled and said:
"Defeated foe, still daring to bark wildly."
"What are you looking at? Not convinced? One-on-one!"
Second Brother of National Football's lips curled into a confident smile. This confidence came from an equipment called [Final Fall].
This warhammer was bought from Su Xiao. Its core ability was to drag the enemy into a sealed cylindrical space for a 1v1 true man duel.
The previous holder, Nightmare King, had used [Final Fall] for a 1v1 true man duel with Su Xiao. As a result, his teeth were nearly knocked out by Su Xiao.
The combination of the Three Brothers of National Football and [Final Fall] produced a qualitative change. When they activated [Final Fall]'s ability, it wasn't 1v1, but 3v1 with ora, ora.
Gulu had been surrounded and hammered by National Football before, but now she wasn't afraid of the Three Brothers of National Football. She raised two slender, fair fingers at them.
Gulu looked around, wanting to see who else was going to Treeborn World this time. When her gaze swept across the right area, it froze. Her calf inexplicably began to ache.
As the saying goes, karma and retribution cycle endlessly. But Gulu felt this retribution had come too fast. She had just lightly provoked in the morning, and now she was facing the consequences. She estimated that once this spacecraft started and left Reincarnation Paradise, it would be about time for her legs to be broken.
Gulu's mind raced. Suddenly, she thought of something: if she had already abandoned all dignity toward someone in a certain aspect, could she then counterattack?
Thinking of this, Gulu suddenly shouted at Su Xiao: "My father, you're here too."
"?"
"??"
The surrounding contractors all turned their gazes. The Three Brothers of National Football showed shock in their eyes. Solomon, sitting diagonally opposite, also appeared slightly surprised.
