Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 862 - 93: Suppression
Reality world, the accessory shop opened by Su Xiao.
On the second floor in the living room, the room was somewhat dim, the curtains drawn tightly.
Su Xiao sat on the floor, gazing around. This time, Bu Wang didn’t return to the reality world with him but was forcibly left in Reincarnation Paradise.
Upon realizing this situation, Su Xiao vaguely guessed the rough contents of the task, perhaps it was to eliminate violators staying in the reality world?
Thinking it over, Su Xiao felt that in his current state, encountering a violator would mean getting completely overpowered. Since the task is to ’break through the body’s limits,’ perhaps it was requiring him to undertake some form of training. But given Reincarnation Paradise’s usual task style, safe training seemed unlikely.
Without external pressure, trying to break through the body’s limits in just a few days of training was sheer wishful thinking, requiring at least years, if not decades, of training.
Su Xiao attempted to clench his fists; the sense of surging power within was gone. Previously, he could easily dismantle a Gundam with bare hands, but now he needed tools like wrenches or cutting machines.
Su Xiao reviewed his current abilities.
Life Value: 100%.
Mana Value: 50 (3116, sealed)
Strength: 5 (76+3 with equipment bonus, sealed)
Agility: 5 (76+3 with equipment bonus, sealed)
Stamina: 5 (80, sealed)
Intelligence: 5 (79, sealed)
Charm: 5 (6, sealed)
Skill 1: Sword Technique Master Level 5.
Skill 2: Firearms Proficiency Level 5.
Skill 3: Heart’s Eye Level 5.
Skill 4: Demon’s Mark (completely sealed)
Skill 5: Release of Breath (completely sealed)
Skill 6: Absolute Demon Physique (70% sealed)
Skill 7: Spirit Shadow Physique (65% sealed)
Skill 8: Meditation of Heart Level 4 (unsealed)
...
After reviewing his attributes, Su Xiao frowned; the suppression was more thorough than he imagined, with some passive skills even completely sealed.
Now he could only rely on three skills for combat: Sword Technique Master, Firearms Proficiency, and Heart’s Eye. As for other passive abilities, they were either completely sealed or more than 50% sealed.
However, compared to those, Su Xiao’s ’Meditation of Heart’ had already reached Level 4, which was not through enhancement in Reincarnation Paradise but was the result of his consistent meditation and perseverance every day.
[Tip: ’Breaking Through the Body’s Limits’ task has been issued, Hunter can check on their own.]
Receiving the prompt, Su Xiao used his intention to activate the Reincarnation Brand. As expected, the previously grey task list in the real world was now accessible. He opened the task list.
[Special Task: Brave the Demon Cavern]
Difficulty Level: Self-adaptive
Task Introduction: Coordinates 97°105′E 19°27.3′N ahead
Task Information: This location harbors many abnormal humans. The Hunter needs to delve into this place and stay at the designated location for over 30 minutes.
Task Deadline: 5 natural days
Task Reward: None
Task Punishment: None
Tip: If the Hunter successfully completes the task but has not broken through the body’s limits, the task will be reset, changing the task type and extending the stay in the reality world.
...
After reviewing the task details, Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled. What were abnormal humans? Contractors? And judging from the final prompt of the task, the content of the task wasn’t what mattered. What mattered was breaking through the body’s limits, which was the reason this task was issued.
Without considering how to break through the body’s limits, Su Xiao sensed malice in this task. Given his current physical attributes, his combat strength wasn’t strong. Even a First Tier Contractor could overwhelm him in attributes and skills.
Yet, if he were to engage in actual combat with a First Tier Contractor, even if the opponent had stronger attributes and skills, it didn’t mean Su Xiao would be defeated. Combat experience was on another level; even a tiger shackled entirely wasn’t something a cat could provoke.
Su Xiao went to the first floor of the shop and turned on the computer; he first needed to confirm where the task location was.
After a round of checking, Su Xiao discovered the task location was in an extremely desolate uninhabited area.
Su Xiao began investigating information about this uninhabited area. The more he investigated, the more something seemed off. The uninhabited area he was to go to had no human presence within hundreds of kilometers, surrounded by several large forests that had begun desertifying due to excessive logging.
Moreover, nearby was a natural wetland, home to many wild animals. Seeing this terrain, Su Xiao suddenly remembered he had been there before, in this uninhabited area there was a small town so hazardous it didn’t appear on maps. Many poachers were there.
If that were all, it wouldn’t be too dangerous. However, the small town was located in the border crevice of three countries. Seeing the other two countries, Su Xiao immediately thought of drug lords.
"So it’s this damned place; no wonder the coordinates seemed familiar before."
After locating the destination on the map, Su Xiao touched the left side of his neck, recalling having been shot there, nearly losing his life.
After confirming the destination, Su Xiao understood the trip’s danger level. If his attributes weren’t suppressed, going there would be a vacation, but going with ordinary human attributes might cost him his life.
Su Xiao stood up and headed to the storage room, from where he pulled out a big hammer and headed to the basement.
The basement door wasn’t locked; Su Xiao went down the stairs, turning on the light.
A faint musty smell wafted out; it had been a long time since he cleaned here. However, the weapons, spoils, and contraband he used when he was an assassin were all hidden here.
Clearing out the center of the basement, Su Xiao took off his shirt, stretched his neck, and swung the big hammer in his hand.
Thud!
Cement debris flew everywhere, startling Ma Fatty next door at the Wreath and Funeral Clothes Store mid-romp with a lover, sending him into a startled saintly state.
"It’s... it’s over."
Ma Fatty’s lover, wearing heavy makeup, pulled at his ear. This woman in her thirties was clearly dissatisfied; as the saying goes, ’thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, fifty can sit and eat dirt,’ a woman in her prime wouldn’t spare Ma Fatty.
"Mistake, mistake, today ends here, you should go home."
"You..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Just as the woman’s anger began to rise, she realized Ma Fatty wasn’t joking; something was indeed up.
"Fine, but if you’re this useless again, I’m done with you."
The woman dressed and left, soon an engine roar sounded outside.
Thud, thud, thud...
The sound of hammer blows echoed from next door, Ma Fatty grimaced.
"What’s Su Xiao doing? Could enemies be at his doorstep?"
Bare-chested and full of fat, Ma Fatty gritted his teeth, pulling out a crossbow from under the bed. After loading it with a stringing device, he held the crossbow in one hand and an electric stick in the other, sneaking toward the jewelry store from the back door. Soon, he was in the small courtyard behind the store.
Click.
A crisp sound came from under Ma Fatty’s foot.
"What’s that?"
"Don’t move!"
A loud shout came; Su Xiao sprinted out from the back door of the jewelry store. The alarm inside the store had gone off, indicating someone had entered the backyard, activating the alert system.
"What’s... going on?"
Out of trust in Su Xiao, Ma Fatty didn’t move.
"No worries, you’ve just tripped a Zale, an anti-infantry mine. Don’t worry; it’s just an old-fashioned hair-trigger mine."
Squatting in front of Ma Fatty, Su Xiao recalled the disarming method for this mine. It wasn’t very powerful, but disarming it was troublesome.
"Woah woah woah!"
Ma Fatty’s legs began to tremble, feeling as if a million llamas were galloping through his heart. He doubted reality, thinking it was a movie plot; who would bury mines in their backyard, thinking it was wartime?
Yet Ma Fatty didn’t know, Su Xiao was a Hunter. If his identity were exposed, others might hunt him down; burying a landmine in the backyard was trivial to a Contractor.
