Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 148: Chapter 8: Brotherhood

The defense of the frontline continues. Under the alternating defense of Su Xiao and Blood Rose, waves of giants are repelled.

After Blood Rose killed a giant, the giant gradually turned into large swathes of steam, a green light emerging within the steam.

”Green treasure chest.”

The Contractors in the distance let out a cry of surprise, their eyes full of greed.

”Today is really unlucky. After killing so many giants, only one green treasure chest dropped.”

The words Blood Rose said after picking up the treasure chest left Su Xiao somewhat speechless.

”That’s normal.”

Blood Rose looked at Su Xiao with surprise.

”How can it be normal? I can’t even count how many giants you killed today, and I also killed some. Under normal circumstances, at least five or six green treasure chests should drop, yet only one came out now.”

Su Xiao coughed lightly and thought to himself that if he deducted the number he killed, the treasure chest drop rate was indeed normal.

”Although this treasure chest was acquired by my kill, I won’t keep it to myself. Everyone present will have a share.”

After saying this, Blood Rose gave a glance to Su Xiao, Chen, Entu, and others.

The other Contractors were overjoyed to hear this, realizing they could also get a share, their gazes at Blood Rose visibly changing.

This woman is good at winning people’s hearts. Su Xiao was very interested in what she would do next. An equal share is nonsense. Not to mention whether he agrees or not, Chen and Entu wouldn’t agree either.

Those Contractors were just tagalongs, contributing nothing else but shooting randomly. Giants aren’t something that can be shot to death with guns.

The sky darkened slightly, and the giants’ offensive gradually weakened. By around seven in the evening, the giants’ attacks stopped completely.

Giants only operate during the day. At night, they become sluggish and no longer attack humans.

The first day’s offensive and defensive battles ended, and all the Contractors breathed a sigh of relief.

[Night has fallen, starting to settle attack and defense contribution values.]

[First place: Bai Ye, attack and defense contribution value 1650.]

[Second place: Cold Moon, attack and defense contribution value 1630.]

[Third place: Adam, attack and defense contribution value 1619.]

[Fourth place: Chen, attack and defense contribution value 315.]

[Fifth place: Blood Rose, attack and defense contribution value 268.]

...

Su Xiao’s ranking jumped from the original 120th place to first, showing how many giants he slaughtered during the day.

He killed giants very quickly, generally dealing with them in two slashes.

...

In Zone 1, a bonfire was raised, the wood crackling as it burned, with some insects circling above it. Occasionally, some insects were scorched by the flames and fell into the bonfire.

Dozens of female Contractors sat around the campfire, the firelight illuminating their faces, creating a scene of blooming flowers.

”Sister, someone actually snatched your first place. Who is this guy?”

”During the day, we all tried to let Sister kill the giants as much as possible. Moreover, I’ve checked all the Contractors’ rankings before, and his ranking was outside the top hundred.”

A female Contractor wearing black glasses bit her nails. She’s the brain of the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group, loyally assisting the Leader Cold Moon, but is a top-level schemer.

”Scheming girl, stop calculating those things. Making Sister the first is the most important thing right now. Sister really needs those Soul Crystals.”

A female Contractor with a cigarette in her mouth furrowed her brows, wearing jungle combat clothes and carrying at least six long and short guns all over her body.

”Don’t stay so close to me. The smell of gunpowder on you affects my thinking, and second-hand smoke contains... Overall, it just affects the brain.”

Scheming girl muttered to herself for a while, mumbling something.

”Rose has just reported to me. He’s a very strong Contractor, with one point that worries me.”

The speaker is a woman in a pure white mage robe, her appearance absolutely stunning, her voice soft yet with an aloofness. She is the Leader of the Other Shore Flower Adventure Group: Cold Moon.

”That Contractor is male, around twenty years old, with a main weapon of a knife, and has extremely rich combat experience. He once killed a not-weak Contractor in one slash, and Rose has said that the man probably doesn’t have large-area skills and fights only with that knife.”

Leng Yun’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, looking towards the scheming girl with bright eyes.

”Little Black, what do you think?”

The scheming girl rolled her eyes. Only Cold Moon dared to call her Little Black in the entire group.

”Call me Little Black again, and I’ll leave the group.”

The scheming girl looked angrily at Cold Moon.

”Alright, I won’t call you Little Black anymore. Share your thoughts, Little Black.”

The surrounding female Contractors covered their mouths, snickering, while the scheming girl sighed and spoke seriously:

”If Rose thinks he’s very strong, then his power might not be weaker than Sister’s. Using a knife... killing a not-weak Contractor in one slash... being very strong even without large-area skills...”

The scheming girl bit her nails, her pupils reflecting the flickering firelight.

”Sister, we’d better not provoke that man. Remember the pervert from the Phantom Troupe Adventure Group who used a revolver?”

”If I am not mistaken, they might develop in opposite directions, and the knife user might be even more perverted. What Rose saw may not be his full strength.”

”If we are in PVE mode, those two guys are in PVP mode, being better at killing Contractors than creatures in the Derivative World.”

After the scheming girl’s words, the ladies from Other Shore Flower were all astonished.

The man with the revolver had left a deep impact on them, with a speed of drawing the gun so fast it was startling, every bullet capable of breaking shields, rendering defense meaningless under those mithril bullets, and occasionally accompanied by true damage, almost leaving one in despair.

”Hey, hey, scheming girl, don’t make it so scary. Last time, I almost died, and now you tell me we’ve encountered an even more perverted guy? I feel like jumping into a river~.”

A petite healer shrunk back a bit. Last time when she encountered Cowboy Hat Man, she was the primary target of his attack. If not for their Leader’s protection and the Queen’s shield blocking a shot for her, she would have been a corpse by now.

”Little Black is exaggerating. That man can’t be compared to those monsters in the Phantom Troupe. Moreover, this world is in peaceful mode, and killing Contractors can’t earn Scarlet Cards, so there’s probably no hostility.”

Cold Moon comforted her team members and sent a message to the scheming girl, ’Don’t dampen their spirits.’

The scheming girl sighed, which might be the reason she can’t be the Leader. Although intelligent, she doesn’t consider the feelings of the weak.

In the scheming girl’s view, everything must be prepared for, and if she were the Leader, she wouldn’t recruit weak members. Weakness is a sin.

The scheming girl’s loyalty is solely for Cold Moon.

...

District 2. Likewise, around a bonfire.

The aroma of roasting meat and the smell of strong liquor filled the air from afar.

A group of shirtless men sat around the fire, gulping alcohol and eating meat, occasionally bursting into laughter, some even embracing each other, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Some noticeable newcomers among the Contractors couldn’t resist a smile upon seeing the laughing veterans around them. In the harsh Paradise, joining the Brotherhood was a stroke of Luck.

This is the Brotherhood, where joining means becoming part of a family of brothers, living and dying together. Those with hidden agendas are never recruited.

”Boss, come have a drink with us.”

A burly man, face flushed from drinking, approached Adam, reeking of booze, and handed over the half bottle of spirits he had left to Adam.

Adam was checking the battle records, not at all annoyed by the interruption. Instead, he took the half bottle from the man’s hand and drank deeply, letting the drink drip down his chin, showing no disgust.

”Lie, how’s the Rc cell fusion going, still have any urges to eat human flesh?”

Adam’s tone was calm, but from the previous bold drinking gesture, it was clear he’s a straightforward person, though it wasn’t apparent from his appearance.

”Where did you get those two items from? They work wonders. My sense of taste has returned to normal, though I still have some cravings, but they should vanish completely soon.”

Lie’s bare upper body was covered in red patterns. Occasionally, he would pick up a piece of meat and take large bites, as if he hadn’t tasted roasted meat for a long time.

”Funny story, the man who sold them to me also entered the Giant world, now with Little Dust in Zone 3, though he’s not too friendly. Hope Little Dust is alright. Little Dust may be a bit arrogant, but he’s a good seedling and never shows arrogance in the group.”

Adam sighed, feeling somewhat worried about Dust.

”Don’t worry, Boss. If that guy dares touch Little Dust, our entire group will go all out against him. Let’s see if he can kill us all.”

Lie let out a hearty laugh and took several more swigs of the liquor.
