Reincarnation Paradise, inside the Attribute Strengthening Hall.
[Pay 1000 Paradise coins to activate Enhancent Chamber No.0182: Yes/No]
Su Xiao was standing in front of a True Attribute Enhancent Cabin. After paying 1000 Paradise coins, the Attribute Enhancent Cabin activated.
Su Xiao walked into the Attribute Enhancent Cabin, it powered up and began checking his status.
[Welco to the High-level Enhancent Cabin. Your naked True Attributes are as follows.]
Power: 82
Agility: 82
Stamina: 82
Intelligence: 82
[Hunter can allocate True Attribute Points: 7 points.]
With Su Xiao’s developnt route, it was simply impossible to make his True Attributes skyrocket in just two Derivative Worlds. This was a process of accumulation. The process wasn’t fast, but it was definitely not slow either.
After pondering for a mont, Su Xiao chose the following allocation: Power 2, Agility 2, Stamina 2, Intelligence 1.
Obviously, the priority of the three Close Combat Attributes—Power, Agility, and Stamina—was relatively higher than the Intelligence Attribute, but the Intelligence Attribute absolutely could not be abandoned. This concerned the developnt and use of Blue steel shadow energy.
Blue Steel Shadow was a very powerful energy, yet Su Xiao controlled it as if it were an extension of his own limbs. This was the benefit brought by high Intelligence Attributes. Although Blue steel shadow energy wouldn’t cause rebound backlash or anything like that, if his Intelligence Attribute wasn’t high enough, it would result in Su Xiao being unable to precisely control Blue steel shadow energy.
Of course, the role of the Intelligence Attribute wasn’t limited to this; it was also related to Perception and other abilities.
Most people believed that Intelligence was a stat exclusive to Mage-type professions. That was actually a misconception. The impact of the Intelligence Attribute on Close Combat Ability, to a certain extent, wasn’t actually weaker than the three Close Combat Attributes.
Just like how most Skill School Mages wouldn’t enhance Stamina Attributes, Mage Lords always kept their Stamina Attribute at no less than two-thirds of their Intelligence Attribute—that is, for every 3 points of Intelligence enhanced, they would enhance 2 points of Stamina.
Mage Lords didn’t enhance Stamina Attributes in order to boost survival ability. Even if a Mage Lord enhanced Stamina, because of the nature of their abilities and the traits of their Profession, they were still very fragile. Stamina Attributes without the support of equipnt and passive skills couldn’t improve survival ability by much in Close Combat.
The reason they enhanced Stamina was to let their bodies withstand that berserk Elent and Magic Energy. A certain High Tier Mage Lord once said: if you want to beco a Cannon, then stuff an "Elental Bomb" into your own body, otherwise nobody will be afraid of you.
[True Attribute allocation complete, enhancent begins.]
Vmm...
The Enhancent Cabin began operating, with quite an impressive roar.
Despite the racket, Su Xiao’s expression didn’t change. Enhancing True Attributes and enhancing Ordinary Attributes were different; it wouldn’t hurt so much you wished you were dead.
Su Xiao’s heartbeat began to accelerate, his blood flow gradually sped up, first to twice its normal speed, and before long, up to five tis.
Su Xiao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, sensing the changes in his body.
Half an hour later, the Attribute Enhancent Cabin stopped running. Su Xiao rolled his neck and stood up.
"Surprisingly refreshing."
After this Attribute enhancent, Su Xiao found that enhancing True Attributes felt very good—at least much better than enhancing Ordinary Attributes.
In fact, this was a process of suffering first and enjoynt later. When Su Xiao first enhanced his Ordinary Attributes, the Attribute Enhancent Cabin provided a free function, the anesthesia function. Using that function, he could just sleep through the Attribute提升 and feel nothing at all.
From start to finish, Su Xiao had never used the anesthesia function. After he refused several tis in a row, the Attribute Enhancent Cabin stopped prompting him. From that point on, even when Su Xiao raised his Ordinary Attributes, he felt that the pain and discomfort had clearly lessened.
This was actually also a kind of enhancent process, just with a relatively long span, letting his body adapt to this mode of enhancent.
And once it ca to enhancing True Attributes, the True Attribute Enhancent Cabin didn’t have any anesthesia function at all. In Su Xiao’s view, it didn’t need it either, because enhancing True Attributes had no sense of pain. Instead, it felt more and more exhilarating the more he enhanced.
What Su Xiao didn’t know was that if he had used the anesthesia function before, he’d be in for it now when enhancing True Attributes. There’s no free lunch in the world; any free function provided by Reincarnation Paradise obviously required so kind of price—only the ti to pay it hadn’t co yet.
Su Xiao clearly didn’t need to pay that kind of price. His body had long since adapted to the feeling during enhancent.
Su Xiao opened his status list to check his attributes after the enhancent.
Life Value: 100%.
Mana Value: 4076 (each 1 point increase in True Intelligence Attribute simultaneously increases Mana Value by 50 points)
True Strength: 84
True Agility: 84
True Stamina: 84
True Intelligence: 83
Charm: 9
Luck: 2
...
His Mana Value had broken through the 4000 mark. Compared to the increase in Mana, Su Xiao’s gaze, however, focused on the Charm Attributes. He blinked, scrutinized the number carefully, and discovered that it really was a 9!
"My Charm Attribute... went up by 1 point?"
This startling discovery inevitably made Su Xiao feel a bit "stirred with emotion." The rises and falls of his Charm Attribute could be described as unusually tortuous. Sotis it would inexplicably go up by 1 point, sotis it would drop by 1 point because he killed too many people. It was the attribute with the most active fluctuation frequency.
Judging from the current situation, Su Xiao felt like his Charm Attribute might be about to reach the ’big threshold’ of 10 points, but with his kill rate, it might suddenly drop by 1 point any day.
Su Xiao closed the status list. After enhancing his attributes, he was already starving, so he directly called Bubu Wang and A Mu over, planning to treat the airhead and the foodie’s stomachs.
But when the Su Xiao–Bubu Wang–A Mu trio arrived at Xia’s restaurant, they found a sign hanging on the door.
"Owner has matters to attend to, business temporarily suspended."
Seeing this sign, Bubu Wang rolled its eyes. It suspected Xia had gone off to study new recipes again.
"As expected, her crappy shop is about to close down from poor managent."
Su Xiao wasn’t surprised at Xia shutting the place for now.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang barked, aning: "The food Xia cooks is delicious, it won’t close, right?"
"When we eat here, have you ever seen any other guests co in?"
Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang. Bubu Wang pondered for a mont, then shook its dog head. It was startled to recall that there really hadn’t been any. A few seconds later, man, dog, and cow headed straight for the comrcial street.
In fact, Xia hadn’t gone bankrupt. This cook who hovered on the brink of bankruptcy was currently in so Derivative World, engaging in a so-called "gorgeous" grand escape with three female friends; she was about to be exhausted to death.
Comrcial street, inside a restaurant that wasn’t particularly fancy but charged reasonable prices.
Su Xiao sat at a table, currently on a call with soone. At the side, Bubu Wang and A Mu were burying their heads and wolfing down food. Not far away stood a萌妹子 waitress with a look of pure ’terror’ on her face. The first ti she saw A Mu’s way of eating, she even suspected A Mu would toss her into its mouth as a snack, so she kept her distance, and every ti she served a dish she ran off faster than a rabbit.
Ding-ling.
The bell on the shop door chid. A figure in a wine-red robe stepped into the restaurant, hood up, face hidden behind a high-tech Mask.
After scanning around the restaurant, the newcor’s gaze stopped on Su Xiao, but very quickly, she saw Bubu Wang beside Su Xiao.
The newcor was Sandstorm. She was here to deal with the transfer of the Adventure group.
Sandstorm’s eyes moved back and forth between Su Xiao and Bubu Wang. The corners of her mouth twitched beneath the Mask. During their last deal, Bubu Wang hadn’t shown up.
"So it really is... the Night of Beheading."
Sandstorm had heard of the Night of Beheading—challenging an Adventure group one-on-one, repeatedly refusing invitations from Travel Groups, specializing in chopping off enemies’ heads in battle, and so on.
Obviously, the rumors in Paradise were fairly reliable. There were no tales of Su Xiao having a blue face and fangs, or liking to eat human hearts raw or anything like that.
"You’re here? Let’s talk about how to handle the Adventure group transfer."
Su Xiao stabbed the fork in his hand into the plate in front of him. A Mu’s big hand shrank back, failing to swipe the piece of steak in Su Xiao’s plate worth 5 Paradise coins. Before this, that guy had already swiped 16 pieces.
Sandstorm silently sat down across from him. A mont later, she suddenly spoke.
"I want to commission you to kill soone for ."
"Not taking it."
"Eh..."
