Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 871 - 1: Protective Measures

[Time is up, Derivative World: Magic Forbidden Book Directory opened, no abnormalities in this world, space coordinates are stable, consuming 0.021 ounces of Power of Space-time.]

[Based on the consumed Power of Space-time, the Contractor’s minimum comprehensive evaluation in this world must reach C-Level.]

[Derivative World Contact Platform activating... activated, remaining speech attempts 8/8.]

The Power of Space-time surged, with a bang, darkness fell before Su Xiao’s eyes.

...

Inside an abandoned laboratory.

Gulu Gulu

A string of bubbles floated up in the pale green solution.

The laboratory housed several sealed glass pillars, filled with pale green solution. Su Xiao was immersed inside one of them, his eyes abruptly opened.

"Gulu Gulu..."

A bubble emerged from Su Xiao’s mouth. Discovering his current situation, he immediately held his breath. The solution he was immersed in seemed highly paralyzing, rendering his body immobile.

"Gulu Gulu..."

A bubble sound came from the side. Su Xiao rolled his eyes to glance sideways, noticing Bu Bu Wang in the neighboring glass pillar. Bu Bu Wang’s pillar was oversized, with a diameter of five meters and a width of about four meters, resembling a cylindrical fish tank.

"Gulu Gulu..."

Still the familiar bubble sound, in a glass pillar in front of Su Xiao, a man dressed in a black leather jacket, with short hair, carrying a ’European-styled Coffin’ on his back, was also immersed in the solution.

Coffin man seemed immobile as well. A white light flashed across his body as he used some skill to remove the abnormal state, but seemingly to no avail.

Seeing this, Su Xiao closed his eyes to perceive his own situation. As his perception deepened, he realized it was not the pale green solution that was paralyzing him, but rather some confinement restricting his actions.

[Prompt: Remaining time until entering Derivative World: 2 minutes 36 seconds.]

Upon seeing this prompt, Su Xiao understood the situation. The Power of Space-time had yet to be released, something he had experienced before.

Not far from Su Xiao’s glass pillar, several men and women slowly woke up from the ground. Initially confused, they looked around and greeted each other, before turning their gaze to the two people and one dog inside the glass pillars.

"These three are really unlucky, getting trapped right as they entered the Derivative World."

A female contractor curled her lips and was about to walk towards Su Xiao.

"Don’t look for death, that’s the protection mechanism of the Derivative World."

A burly man glared at the female contractor.

"Protection mechanism? We’re all third-tier contractors, do we still need Paradise’s protection after entering the Derivative World?"

The female contractor seemed to fear the burly man and stopped in her tracks.

"Paradise is protecting us, let’s go, don’t provoke them."

Hearing the burly man’s words, the female contractor sneered lightly and followed him away. They were clearly a small adventure group with the burly man in the lead.

Su Xiao held his breath in the solution, not worried about those contractors attacking him. Typically, such action-restricting confinement is mutual; he can’t move, and they can’t attack him either.

Two minutes quickly passed, and as the time limit expired, the confinement on Su Xiao vanished. He pressed a hand against the glass in front of him.

Boom!

The glass pillar shattered, and the pale green solution gushed out. Su Xiao walked out through the break, simultaneously, the coffin man on the opposite side also emerged from the hole in his glass pillar. The two exchanged glances, neither spoke a word.

The atmosphere was tense. Su Xiao could sense from the other’s aura that he was a tough opponent, the strong smell of gunpowder was detectable from over ten meters away.

After a standoff lasting several seconds, the coffin man’s right hand slowly approached the ’coffin’ on his back, while Su Xiao’s hand rested on Dragon Slash.

"Generally, this indicates that the world we’ve entered is very dangerous, thus Paradise gathered us and teleported us together to form a team or Temporary Adventure Group."

Coffin man spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"..."

Su Xiao did not reply. It’s dangerous to tamper with an enemy you don’t understand. He once encountered a contractor in the Arena whose ability called ’Personality’, similar to a superpower system from another world.

The ’Personality’ of that individual was that anyone who talked to him would unknowingly be affected, having 1-3 abilities sealed, with the number depending on the amount of conversation.

"Seems like forming a temporary group is not an option."

Coffin man slowly retreated. Detecting Su Xiao was close-combat, maintaining distance was best.

The further the coffin man distanced himself, the more cautious Su Xiao became. Based on the man’s aura, habitual actions, calluses on his hands, and the smell of gunpowder, Su Xiao determined that he was likely a close-combat or long-range spearman, more likely the former.

As they widened the distance to tens of meters, the coffin man stomped on the ground and dashed out as a shadow, disappearing into the metal corridor of the abandoned laboratory.

The laboratory was now left with only Su Xiao. Having unsheathed Dragon Slash by a few inches, he sheathed it back and turned towards the glass pillar where Bu Bu Wang was.

Bu Bu Wang hadn’t shattered the glass pillar; it was frog swimming in the pale green solution. Who knows where it learned to swim like a frog, doing it joyously, its glossy fur floating in the solution.

"Stop swimming, see what this world is about."

Su Xiao kicked the glass pillar, shattering it. The pale green solution flowed out, and Bu Bu Wang was washed out along with it. It shook its fur, its eyes appearing slightly sad, as if saying: "My swimming bucket, my kingdom."

[Entered World; Magic Forbidden Book Directory]

World Difficulty: Level 15~?? (Third-tier semi-open world)

World Source: 0%

World Introduction; A world where magic and science coexist.

Magic Camp: For a long time, the Magic Camp has influenced the world in various forms, with complex magic factions represented by the Roman Orthodox and English Puritanism. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Magicians: They inject Magic Power into their veins and nerves to cast spells using body movements, gestures, or other symbols, cards, etc. With powerful magicians capable of setting potent arrays using terrain.

Science Camp: Academy City hosts a population of 2.3 million, with eighty percent comprising students, making it a large student city divided into 23 districts, isolated from the outside world, and possessing technology 20-30 years ahead of its time. All students undergo superpower development, managed fully by the ’General Council’, and to prevent leaks of technology or superpower users, Academy City strictly restricts population entry and exit.

Superpower Users (Special Ability Users): Developed by Academy City, superpowers are a significant breakthrough of ’Quantum Mechanics Theory’, by intentionally distorting computational ability and judgment to observe ’reality’, causing extreme ’microscopic world probabilities’ to undergo unnatural changes, thus enabling certain superpower phenomena, thereby using superpowers.

Superpower development superficially involves ’Memory Technique’ or ’Recitation Technique’, but it actually involves intravenous drug injection (dosing), skin electrode paste electrification (physical stimulation), or hypnosis through headphone input rhythm, conducted artificially. Due to the immense burden multiple abilities have on the brain, superpower users can use only one ability, with no independent individual possessing more than one ability, and developed superpowers are immutable.

Trial Task: Obtain the Mortal Soul Code.

Hunting Task: Eliminate abnormal violators.

Tip: When an abnormal violator enters within a one-kilometer range of a Hunter, the Hunting Function automatically activates.

Warning: Do not mention anything about ’Paradise’ in this world, failure to adhere will result in enforced execution!

Tip: Detected that the Hunter has not mastered this world’s language, automatically mastering this world’s language at a cost of 100 Paradise coins.

World, begin!
