Chapter 2: Long-Term Mission Bonus Reward Authority
After returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao sat on the sofa, took out a bottle of maple tea, and took a sip. The familiar taste made him relax slightly.
The mission this time was quite dangerous. Although he had completed it, the process was not smooth. The Archbishop of the Abyss was indeed a formidable opponent. If not for the timely arrival of Mage Sage Seraphilia, the outcome might have been unpredictable.
Thinking of Seraphilia, Su Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. This old witch from the Second Era: Alchemical Civilization was indeed powerful, but her motives were unclear. She helped him, probably not out of goodwill, but because she had her own plans.
"Forget it, let's settle the rewards first."
Su Xiao put down the maple tea and opened the Reincarnation Paradise interface.
[Contractor: Su Xiao]
[Rank: Eighth Rank]
[Paradise Coins: 3,852,700]
[Soul Crystals (Complete): 17]
[Soul Crystals (Incomplete): 286]
[True Attribute Points: 0]
[Golden Skill Points: 0]
Looking at the data, Su Xiao nodded slightly. This mission's basic rewards were decent, but what really mattered was the additional reward authority.
He clicked on the mission completion interface.
[Mission: Hunt List: Blood Pact (Completed)]
[Mission Difficulty: LV.68]
[Mission Rewards: 1,200,000 Paradise Coins, True Attribute Points x5, Golden Skill Points x1, Soul Crystals (Complete) x5]
[Additional Reward: Long-Term Mission Bonus Reward Authority (Activated)]
"Long-Term Mission Bonus Reward Authority..."
Su Xiao muttered to himself. This authority was quite rare. It usually appeared only after completing a series of high-difficulty missions. It allowed the contractor to choose additional rewards from a specific reward pool.
He clicked to open the reward pool interface, and a long list of items appeared before him.
[Reward Pool Contents (Partial):]
[1. Origin Stone: World (Fragments) x3 — Can be combined into a complete Origin Stone: World, which can open a Transcendent Primordial World.]
[2. Black Maple Tree Yield (One Year) — Obtain all Black Maple Tree products from the Void Tree for one year.]
[3. Holy Spirit Chest x1 — Can open equipment or items of Holy Spirit rank or above.]
[4. Soul Severing Shadow Stone x1 — Can enhance the power of the Blade Path: Azure Demon.]
[5. Contract Parchment x1 — Can forcibly sign a contract with a target of Eighth Rank or below.]
[6. Law-Destroying Skill Point x1 — Can upgrade any skill of the Law Destruction Faction by one level.]
[7. Black Maple Tree Branch x1 — A rare material that can be used to forge weapons or craft potions.]
[8. Epic Chest x1 — Can open equipment or items of Epic rank or above.]
[9. Legendary Chest x1 — Can open equipment or items of Legendary rank or above.]
[10. Immortal Chest x1 — Can open equipment or items of Immortal rank or above.]
[11. ★★★★★ (Five Stars) — Can increase the rating of any item by one star.]
[12. Primordial Life Force x1 — Can greatly enhance the contractor's life level, increasing all attributes by 3 points.]
Looking at these rewards, Su Xiao fell into thought.
Origin Stone: World was very tempting. If he could collect three fragments, he could open a Transcendent Primordial World. That kind of world was extremely rare and contained countless resources and opportunities.
But the problem was that he only had one fragment now. Even if he chose this reward, he would still need two more fragments to combine it. The difficulty of collecting them was too high.
The Black Maple Tree Yield for one year was also very tempting. The Black Maple Tree was the most precious resource tree of the Void Tree. Its products were extremely valuable, and one year's yield was enough to exchange for a huge amount of Paradise Coins.
However, Su Xiao shook his head. He was not short of Paradise Coins now. What he needed more was strength enhancement.
"Choose... the Soul Severing Shadow Stone."
Su Xiao made his decision. The Blade Path: Azure Demon was one of his core skills. Enhancing its power could directly increase his combat strength. Moreover, the Soul Severing Shadow Stone was extremely rare and hard to come by in the market.
After confirming the selection, a black stone emitting a dark blue smoke appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
[Soul Severing Shadow Stone]
[Quality: Holy Spirit]
[Effect: Can enhance the power of the Blade Path: Azure Demon, increasing its damage by 15% and adding a soul-severing effect.]
[Note: This item can only be used by contractors of the Law Destruction Faction.]
"Not bad."
Su Xiao put away the Soul Severing Shadow Stone and planned to use it after returning to the Skill Upgrade Hall.
He then looked at the other mission rewards. The True Attribute Points and Golden Skill Points were standard rewards. The Soul Crystals were also useful, as they could be used to upgrade equipment or skills.
"Next, let's check the reputation rewards."
Su Xiao opened the Void Tree Reputation interface.
[Void Tree Reputation: 32,500 points]
[Current Rank: Silver (Can be upgraded to Gold)]
"32,500 points... just enough to upgrade to Gold rank."
Su Xiao clicked to upgrade.
[Consumed 30,000 Void Tree Reputation points]
[Reputation Rank Upgraded to: Gold]
[Unlocked Gold Rank Benefits:]
[1. Enjoy a 10% discount when purchasing items in the Trade Market.]
[2. Can enter the exclusive trading area of the Void Tree.]
[3. Receive one free teleportation opportunity per month.]
[4. Can apply for the Void Tree's protection mechanism.]
The Gold rank benefits were quite practical. Especially the 10% discount, which could save a lot of Paradise Coins when buying equipment or materials in the future.
After dealing with the reputation, Su Xiao stood up and prepared to go to the Skill Upgrade Hall to use the Soul Severing Shadow Stone.
Just then, the door of the exclusive room was knocked on.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a figure walked in. It was Mawen Hua'erzi.
"Old friend, long time no see."
Mawen Hua'erzi smiled and sat down on the sofa opposite Su Xiao.
"You're not dead yet?"
Su Xiao said calmly.
"Of course not. I still have to watch you reach the Supreme Peak."
Mawen Hua'erzi took out a bottle of Elemental Brew and took a sip.
"Something's up?"
Su Xiao asked directly.
"I do have something. I heard you completed the Hunt List: Blood Pact mission. That mission was very dangerous. Even I wouldn't dare to take it lightly."
Mawen Hua'erzi's expression turned serious.
"So what?"
"I want to remind you that the Archbishop of the Abyss is not dead. He was just seriously injured and fled. With his personality, he will definitely seek revenge on you."
Mawen Hua'erzi said.
"I know."
Su Xiao nodded. He had already sensed this. The Archbishop of the Abyss was a cunning and ruthless guy. It was impossible for him to die so easily.
"Also, I have a piece of news for you. The Arcane Eternal Star has recently been mobilizing. It seems they are planning something big."
Mawen Hua'erzi continued.
"Arcane Eternal Star..."
Su Xiao's eyes turned cold. This organization was the archenemy of the Law Destruction Faction. They had been hunting down the descendants of the Law Destruction Faction for thousands of years.
"They might have set their sights on you. After all, you are the last Law Destroyer."
Mawen Hua'erzi said seriously.
"Let them come."
Su Xiao's tone was calm, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Take care of yourself."
Mawen Hua'erzi stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
Su Xiao called out to him.
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
Su Xiao said lightly.
Mawen Hua'erzi was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile.
"You're welcome, old friend."
After saying that, he turned and left the exclusive room.
After Mawen Hua'erzi left, Su Xiao sat alone on the sofa, lost in thought.
The Arcane Eternal Star... the Archbishop of the Abyss... these enemies were all very troublesome. But he was not afraid. As a Law Destroyer, he had long been prepared to face all challenges.
"Let's go, first enhance the Blade Path: Azure Demon."
Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the exclusive room, heading towards the Skill Upgrade Hall.
