Chapter 3: Target, the Goddess of Fortune
The [Perfect Harmony Potion] was obtained, and Su Xiao began to check his other gains.
The number of Paradise Coins was 62,306, and this was without selling any equipment.
He had 16 freely distributable attribute points.
Soul Crystal (Medium) ×1 (obtained from Bubu’s chest opening).
Unopened chests included a Purple Chest ×1 (dropped by Sloth) and a Dark Purple Chest ×1 (dropped by the Great President).
Holding the Dark Purple Chest in his hand, Su Xiao was obtaining a chest of this rank for the first time.
An urge to open this chest arose. If he wanted to do it, he would. Su Xiao first picked up the Purple Chest beside him; the Dark Purple Chest was naturally to be opened last.
Bubu Wang, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze seeming to say: ‘This Wang smells the scent of a chest. Black luck master, release that chest and let this Wang handle it.’
Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang with a full smile.
“You want to open it? What did that look just now mean? I feel like you were mocking my luck.”
Bubu Wang shrank his dog body, raised his dog head, and looked at Su Xiao with sparkling eyes in an upward gaze, the meaning clearly being: ‘Looking up to the big shot, this Wang was wrong.’
Bubu Wang’s expression was practically a meme!
Ignoring Bubu Wang’s cute act, Su Xiao took out the Destiny Redemption lighter. He had been investigating how to upgrade Destiny Redemption from Blue quality to Purple quality.
He had already found some clues. Previously, he had seen information about a type of prop that could upgrade Blue equipment to Purple. But it was very expensive and rare.
Lighting a cigarette, the Lucky King state took effect, and Su Xiao directly opened the Purple Chest.
[You have obtained 2000 Paradise Coins.]
A prompt appeared, and the cigarette in Su Xiao’s mouth fell to the ground.
That was it? A Purple Chest = 2000 Paradise Coins?!
Bubu Wang beside him was also stunned, looking like his dog eyes had been blinded. Bubu looked at Su Xiao with admiration, as if saying: ‘Master, you are so strong!’
“Ahem.”
A wisp of blue smoke was coughed out by Su Xiao. He picked up the chest that hadn’t yet dissipated and shook it outward.
How futile was this black luck struggle? Nothing fell out of the chest, and it gradually dissipated in his hand.
Perhaps when one’s luck was black to a certain extent, even the Lucky King state couldn’t save it. Maybe only by pressing the Goddess of Fortune down and rubbing her face into the ground could one be saved.
Although he was somewhat incredulous, the facts were right before his eyes.
Su Xiao accepted this fact, but Bubu Wang seemed unable to accept it, as if he couldn’t figure out how Su Xiao had managed it.
“Maybe it’s a problem with the brand of cigarette, ahem~.”
The Lucky King state was still active. Su Xiao’s hand, reaching for the Dark Purple Chest, hesitated. Today’s Lucky King state seemed a bit off.
Under Bubu Wang’s terrified gaze, Su Xiao grabbed that Dark Purple Chest. This was the first Dark Purple Chest he had ever opened.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao opened the Dark Purple Chest.
[You have opened a Dark Purple Chest.]
[You have obtained 5000 Paradise Coins.]
[You have obtained a Demon Spirit Crystal.]
[You have obtained an Artificial Human Bloodline.]

...
Two crystals appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. One was pink and diamond-shaped; this was the Demon Spirit Crystal, a material for forging equipment.
The other was blood-red, without a specific shape, appearing as a viscous red liquid.
A smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face. Although he hadn’t opened a Dark Purple item, he had obtained a bloodline item.
Undoubtedly, bloodline items were the most valuable items of the same rank.
After opening the chests, Su Xiao left his Exclusive Room. He still had many things to do, after all, he only had three days.
Before leaving, Su Xiao stared at Bubu Wang.
“Don’t dismantle the house!”
Bubu Wang looked innocent, as if he had never dismantled a house before. But the feat of dismantling a tank in the Steel Alchemy world was still fresh in memory.
Leaving the Exclusive Room, Su Xiao headed straight for the Attribute Enhancement Hall.
He was already familiar with the place. After paying the Paradise Coins, he obtained the right to use an Enhancement Pod.
[Welcome to the Attribute Enhancement Pod. Your unarmored attributes are as follows.]
Strength: 38
Agility: 37
Stamina: 33
Intelligence: 36
Charm: 3
[Hunter can freely distribute attribute points: 16 points]
[Drip, detected that the Hunter’s main attributes are Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Please prioritize enhancing these three main attributes.]
Su Xiao showed a contemplative expression. Since he had already decided to develop four attributes, he might as well make the four attributes more balanced.
After thinking for a long time, Su Xiao’s final distribution method was: Strength +2, Agility +3, Stamina +7, Intelligence +4.
After the attribute distribution was complete, the Enhancement Pod began to operate.
This time, Reincarnation Paradise did not give a prompt for the anesthesia function. Perhaps it was because Su Xiao had refused too many times. From now on, unless he actively requested it, Reincarnation Paradise would no longer display this function.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground. Pain came from various parts of his body. Su Xiao forcibly ignored the pain, focusing on feeling the enhancement process.
A mysterious energy filled his body. His muscles, bones, and skin membranes were gradually becoming stronger. It was this rapid strengthening process that produced the pain during enhancement.
Su Xiao did not resist this process; instead, he carefully experienced it.
The process of gradually becoming stronger was actually very exhilarating. Perhaps because he had already undergone several enhancements, Su Xiao not only ignored the pain but began to enjoy this process of gradual strengthening.
Imagine how joyful it was for a mortal to gradually rise to transcendence. Heavy objects that were previously impossible to lift could now be easily swung. Walls that were once solid could now be broken with a single punch.
I don’t know how long passed, but the Enhancement Pod stopped operating. Su Xiao’s eyes opened, and his not-so-obvious muscles tensed.
Surging power gushed out from within his body.
“This is the feeling. This is the strength I pursue. The strength to control one’s own destiny. The strength to do as one pleases.”
The surging feeling of power receded somewhat, as Su Xiao had already adapted somewhat to his strengthened body.
He took out a light yellow potion. Under the light, the potion emitted a gentle glow.
[Perfect Harmony Potion], all five attributes +2.
Su Xiao opened the bottle’s mouth and drank it down in one gulp.
Boom!
It felt as if a dull roar came from within his body. Su Xiao clenched his teeth tightly. The potion he had just drunk was somewhat violent.
The enhancement continued. Su Xiao’s breathing became heavy, and sweat soaked his clothes.
This was the first time Su Xiao had drunk such a violently natured potion. A burning sensation spread through his body.
The [Perfect Harmony Potion] seemed to turn into a fire within him, constantly tempering his body.
Su Xiao’s skin began to redden, and even the air he exhaled became scorching hot.
