Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 689 - 83: Hometown

"Cough, back to the point, I can’t teach you much, but it’s also not too little. You use a sword, while I use a heavy sword. Although the theory is similar, there are differences in practice."

Ero tossed the palm-width heavy sword in his hand; it was very heavy, as Su Xiao had just experienced.

Indeed, as Ero said, while the theory of a heavy sword and a sword is similar, there are differences in technique.

"I can teach you how to survive on the battlefield, and about kick techniques. Using a sword as a weapon, mastering the right kick techniques is beneficial. Let’s sit and talk."

Su Xiao and Ero sat cross-legged on the ground. Ero began to share with Su Xiao his survival experiences in large-scale battles and tips on kick techniques.

"On the battlefield, the key isn’t to kill the enemy but to survive. Those who survive are the victors. Don’t think with your current strength you can dominate the battlefield. If you’re surrounded by enemies with similar strength, surviving is very difficult. The first thing to remember is not to mind those far away from you. Use perception to observe around you, and attack whoever comes near. Don’t proactively seek opponents on the battlefield; let them come to you. Those so-called ’heroes’ are usually the first to die on the battlefield..."

Ero shared his lifelong experience of killing enemies on the battlefield, and Su Xiao listened carefully because he might one day participate in a large-scale battle. Here is Reincarnation Paradise; anything can happen.

"At crucial moments, consider playing dead. In the later stages of a war, most people will be bloodthirsty, and they won’t care about the corpses on the ground. They’ll only pay attention to the living who are moving..."

Ero explained to Su Xiao how to survive on the battlefield, and then taught him some kick techniques.

Time flew by, and after more than fifty minutes, Ero’s expression started to change.

"What’s wrong? Are you afraid?"

Su Xiao looked at his counterpart.

"Me? Afraid?"

Ero sneered, but after a while, the sneer slowly froze on his face.

"I seem to... indeed be afraid. There’s no real world after death, just deathly silence, with the soul gradually dissipating, slowly fading away..."

Ero sighed; he hadn’t lived enough. He was going to marry the most beautiful woman and be honored as the Great Warrior.

A few minutes later, Ero’s mirage disappeared. In reality, he had never been resurrected, only appearing again in the form of a mirage.

Although Su Xiao didn’t learn anything about sword technique from him, he gained valuable insights into surviving on the battlefield.

Glancing at the remaining Paradise coins, Su Xiao pondered for a moment and then summoned another mirage.

[You have chosen to summon a High-level Mirage, designating the summoning...]

[Selection successful, beginning to summon Joracel Mihawk.]

This time Su Xiao summoned Hawkeye, as he had some sword technique questions to ask.

The light gathered, and Hawkeye’s figure became clearer, standing about two meters tall, wearing a long black windbreaker, and a black hat with white fur trimming.

Hawkeye slowly opened his eyes, which were deep yellow pupiled, indistinguishable from an eagle’s eyes.

"We meet again."

Hawkeye spoke, because Su Xiao had summoned him once before, this summoned mirage continued the memory from the last time.

"There are some things I want to ask you..."

...

Two hours later, Su Xiao left the Trial Field, walking with a thoughtful expression.

"I see, so my strength is roughly at this level now..."

After sparring with Hawkeye, Su Xiao learned about his approximate level of power.

Leaving the Trial Field, Su Xiao went to the trading market. He now had 32,206 Paradise coins left. It was time to use Alchemy to earn some Paradise coins, which he would use to make No.1 Potion.

At the trading market, the stall he often used was already occupied, so he found a nearby empty stall to set up, preparing to manufacture Intermediate Alchemy Bombs for sale.

Intermediate Spirit Bomb: Each manufacture consumes 30 Mana Value, black gunpowder, Inferior Energy Circuit, Matry Metal, Aqua Regia, Explosive Frog Skin.

Su Xiao’s Mana Value totaled 2133 points; using it all to make Intermediate Alchemy Bombs, he could produce 71 bombs in total.

Sitting behind the stall, Su Xiao’s hands glowed as he began manufacturing Alchemy Bombs. The cost of an Intermediate Alchemy Bomb is 30 Mana Value + 100 Paradise coins (used to replace materials).

Since Mana Value can regenerate, it’s a renewable resource, making the cost of each Intermediate Alchemy Bomb only 100 Paradise coins.

Given the power and characteristics of the Intermediate Alchemy Bomb, selling each for 300 Paradise coins was no issue. If he sold 71 bombs successfully, Su Xiao would profit 14,200 Paradise coins.

Though he could earn 14,200 Paradise coins each time his Mana Value fully regenerated, Su Xiao would only occasionally sell Alchemy Bombs.

The reason is simple: once his Mana Value is depleted, he can’t go to the Arena. The arena opponents aren’t puppets, and without Mana Value to fight, maintaining his ranking without dropping would be miraculous; advancing is out of the question.

If it weren’t for being ’cut down’ multiple times by Hawkeye earlier, leaving him slightly mentally exhausted, Su Xiao would choose to go to the Arena rather than selling Intermediate Alchemy Bombs.

After making 71 Alchemy Bombs, Su Xiao priced them at 300 Paradise coins each before leaving the stall.

Su Xiao’s life in Reincarnation Paradise is quite regular; with stamina, he goes to the Arena to raise his rank. Once he breaks into the top ten, he can earn attribute points. Moreover, for every rank he climbs within the top ten, he gains attribute points again. Climbing from tenth to first place would yield an astounding number of attribute points.

...

Toot toot toot.

In the Arena, inside a resting pod, Su Xiao turned off the timer in his hand. His stay in Reincarnation Paradise was nearing its limit.

Over the past few days, Su Xiao raised his arena ranking from 490th (Second Tier) to 105th (Second Tier), going through some tough battles but remaining undefeated, with a current win streak of 186 matches.

After disabling the matchmaking feature, upon reaching a ranking of 105th, the speed of matching opponents noticeably slowed, leaving Su Xiao mostly waiting for opponents in the resting pod.

[Hunter’s stay in Reincarnation Paradise has reached its limit.]

[Returning to the real world soon, please remember the rules of Reincarnation Paradise.]

[You cannot disclose anything about Reincarnation Paradise in any form in the real world; violations will result in warnings, and failure to comply will lead to execution.]

...

[Teleportation starting, location: Real World.]

Su Xiao rubbed the back of his head; he was somewhat used to the teleport strike of Reincarnation Paradise. The ’strike’ when returning to the real world was a light tap; each time he entered a Derivative World, the ’strike’ was hard to withstand.

Currently, he was in a small town near Chogori Snow Mountain. After successfully climbing the Chogori Snow Mountain with his bare hands, he resided temporarily in this town.

"Where to next?"

Su Xiao took out a map, and upon seeing the name of a city on the map, his eyes narrowed.

"It’s time to go back and take a look. Now I’m not a wanted fugitive anymore."

Leaving the hotel with Bubu Wang, Su Xiao was heading back to his hometown, a not so prosperous third-tier city.

If Su Xiao now is a dragon crossing the four blues, then returning to his hometown, he counts as a ’local snake.’ Even before entering Reincarnation Paradise, he was already a local snake in the nearby area of his hometown—just without influence then.

Imagine a freewheeling, skillful, and bold person who dares to kill—who would dare provoke him? It’s not as if Su Xiao hasn’t buried a fair share of lawbreakers he took down.

However, Su Xiao had no interest in this. His wanderings only made him want to return out of boredom.
