Reincarnation Paradise
chapter-865

After all, the talented student was a contractor, and people like Baku were different from his match. After a skirmish, Baku and the others were half-dead. However, having just experienced his first derivative world and living in a peaceful world, the talented student couldn't comprehend how terrifying it was not to kill a snake. In his view, breaking Baku's limbs and having him grovelling in agony in front of him would eliminate most threats from the other side. After all, he had already defeated his opponent.

This talented student had seen too many heroic stories. But, in three short days, Baku's retaliation arrived.

Baku couldn't do anything for the talented student, but the student's family were ordinary people—this was the turning point.

The student broke down when Baku presented the talented student's father's limbs in front of him. What happened afterwards can be guessed. The gifted student, enduring the warnings from Reincarnation Paradise, retrieved the data from Su Xiao in the real world.

From the chemical formulas in the data, a potion called 'Muscle Burst Growth' could be concocted and accessible to anyone. After using it, one could gain physical attributes beyond regular people, roughly between 7 to 10 points. However, the side effects were highly severe, distorting the derived material facts achieved through overdrawing life force.

Su Xiao could decipher the information because of his understanding of chemistry and the similarities between alchemy and chemistry.

According to the information, Su Xiao could even refine a more perfect potion, significantly reducing the side effects.

Of course, he wouldn't do this in the real world—interfering excessively in the real world was very dangerous. However, while this potion couldn't be manufactured in the real world, it could be produced within the Reincarnation Paradise.

The severe side effects were inconsequential because Su Xiao had no intention of letting humans use it. He had an idea long ago: to unlock the third level of alchemy.

The third level of alchemy involved creating alchemical beings. Initially, Su Xiao had yet to unlock the third level because he was used to fighting alone. During battles, he didn't have the energy to control summoned creatures.

However, after summoning Mus, Su Xiao was surprised to find that using an alchemical creature as a shield was a good choice. Simply because he could transfer control to Bubu Wang, this was something he hadn't considered before.

He didn't need the alchemical creature to have strong combat abilities, only the ability to stand in front. During fights, Su Xiao didn't need to control the alchemical creature; Bubu Wang took charge, using its hiding ability. At that point, it became an amateur nursemaid, top-notch scout, and invisible summoner. The final invisible summoner was practically invincible.

This way, Su Xiao could concentrate on fighting while having a crucial shield at critical moments. Moreover, with the addition of his 79 intelligence attributes, if the alchemical creature leaned towards defence, its endurance and survivability would be extreme. Most summoners simultaneously develop intelligence and charisma attributes, with charisma ensuring the loyalty of summoned creatures and intelligence boosting their details. Therefore, the intelligence attributes of most second-tier summoners were lower than Su Xiao's.

Su Xiao was different—he didn't need to ensure the loyalty of alchemical creatures because he was their creator.

Absolute loyalty + augmentation from the stamina potion + 79 intelligence attributes + Bubu Wang's control = an undying main tank. This main tank was a renewable resource.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's eyes began to sparkle. When he returned to the Reincarnation Paradise this time, he wanted to unlock the study of creating alchemical creatures.

...

Two days later, inside Su Xiao's accessory shop.

"So, you returned from the Reincarnation Paradise to here two days ago?"

Su Xiao leaned against the counter, a thick bandage on his neck suspending his left arm. Although the injuries on his left arm mainly had healed, the bones were severely fractured and required a few days of rest. From this, one could see how insane the recovery power derived from an 80-point stamina attribute was. An injury that would take an average person months to recover from only needed Su Xiao 3 to 4 days. His left arm wouldn't hinder him the day after being injured if required for combat.

Su Xiao didn't have active recovery skills, but with Bubu Wang around, bone injuries recovered even faster.

"I-I-I've been here for two days..."

The timid Fat Ma rushed into the accessory shop.

"Su-Su-Su..."

Fat Ma's speech could have been more coherent, which puzzled Su Xiao.

"I'm here, in between the wheels, no, in between the rims, no, whatever it is, you found this..."

Fat Ma handed over a black bag of fragments. Fat Ma's character was interesting; when he was nervous, he began to stutter.

Taking the bag of fragments, Su Xiao found a severed finger inside. This was likely a remnant left after he attacked the junkyard, and the shockwave blew away this severed limb.

"I'll handle this."

Su Xiao went upstairs, and the flushing water could soon be heard.

After a while, Su Xiao came downstairs carrying a travel bag and handed it to Fat Ma. Fat Ma opened the bag and found bundles of crisp hundred-dollar bills inside.

"This is... a hush payment?"

Fat Ma's expression turned a bit sour.

"A hush payment? No, consider these funds as me buying your car. This also serves as a fee for a new car."

Su Xiao's intention was quite evident. Although it had no practical impact, finding a finger inside the aluminium alloy wheel was very inauspicious. This was Su Xiao's unclean clearance from before. He also needed a car, so he bought this one and let Fat Ma buy a new one.

"Fine, to be honest, finding a finger in a tire made me feel quite devastated."

Fat Ma chuckled. He wouldn't accept it if it were a hush payment, but the new car fee was different. Inside the travel bag, conservatively estimated, there were over 800,000 dollars.

"Have you had lunch?"

Fat Ma tied the travel bag, already considering what new car to get.

"I have."

"Then I'll go now. My brother called me for a drink. Want to join?"

"I have some other things to do. Maybe another time."

While Su Xiao spoke, he picked up a string of amber beads from a nearby shelf and tossed it to Fat Ma.

"Is this amber?"

Fat Ma examined the yellowish transparent beads in his hand.

"Natural amber, with high transparency."

"Expensive?"

"Very expensive."

"Thanks a lot."

Fat Ma had no idea about formality. Leaving the car keys, he carried the travel bag in his left hand and played with the amber beads in his right, humming a tune as he walked out of the shop.

Not long after Fat Ma left, Su Xiao received a prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise and locked the shop door.

[Prompt: A new derivative world will open, and the Hunters will return to the Reincarnation Paradise. Ensure there are no witnesses around.]

[Transferring... Transfer complete.]

When Su Xiao's vision was restored, he found himself inside his exclusive room.

[Prompt: The Hunter has successfully broken through the body's limits. You will receive clues about the 'Proof of the Strong'.]
