Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 176: Chapter 35: Must Reach 70 (4th Update, Thanks to Alliance Hierarch (Feng Feng Piao))

Thud!

A loud noise erupted, causing Su Xiao, who was lightly asleep, to suddenly sit up.

Quickly getting up, he went to the window. The sky outside was getting dark, with a few campfires rising in the town. The earlier loud noise came from the Military Police Regiment reinforcing boulders at the entrance of a cave.

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed, beginning to check his injuries.

His main injuries were to his abdomen and chest, both of which had been shot through by a sniper bullet and pierced by a stabbing sword, respectively. Fortunately, his stamina was 12 points; otherwise, these wounds would have put him on the brink of death.

Now, these areas were largely healed, with new muscle tissue visible in the wounds. The ”C-type Battlefield Injector” was indeed a top-tier green-grade healing item, restoring most of his injuries in less than five hours.

Even the section of flesh severed from his shoulder had grown a membrane, and it would be completely healed in less than two days.

In the dim room, Su Xiao found an oil lamp and lit it since electricity didn’t exist in the Inner Walls World.

The burning oil lamp spread a strange smell throughout the room. The flame flickered within the glass cover, and the lamp oil was running low.

The room was illuminated in a dim yellow glow, with rough wooden furniture and exposed stone blocks visible on the walls. The floor was compacted dirt, damp underfoot, highlighting the harsh living conditions inside the walls.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out a suture needle, scalpel, bandages, medical alcohol, and other supplies from the storage space.

He first sterilized the scalpel, suture needle, and other tools with medical alcohol.

Pressing his fingers against his bare upper body, Su Xiao soon felt a foreign object within the muscle—bullets that had been lodged in his body earlier.

Since the injuries had healed, these bullets remained inside.

Su Xiao took a deep breath. Getting injured in battle and extracting bullets now were two different concepts. In battle, there was no mental preparation; at most, a prick and a pain, and then it was over.

It’s like a fight—during the fight, it doesn’t feel very painful, but dealing with the wounds afterward is excruciating.

During combat, a person secretes adrenaline, which can cause excitement and temporarily dull pain.

Using the scalpel, he cut open the wound and searched inside it with tweezers.

Su Xiao’s vision darkened as waves of intense sensation washed over him.

Bam~.

A blood-stained orange bullet was placed on a nearby wooden table. He still had six bullets inside him.

While leaving a few bullets in one’s body as a keepsake sounds impressive, it’s actually quite foolish. Bullets encased by muscle can cause that muscle to tear more easily, and combat is a routine part of Su Xiao’s life, so he needed to extract the bullets as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao leaned against the bedhead, covered in cold sweat. The bullets had all been removed, stitches closed the wounds, and his bare upper body was nearly wrapped in bandages.

”Next time, I’ll kill those shooters.”

After calming his breath for a while, Su Xiao accessed the task list through the branding. Reincarnation Paradise had previously notified him that a ’return qualification’ mission had been issued, but he hadn’t had time to read it.

Main Mission: World Source.

Difficulty Level: Lv.5

Mission Brief: Obtain more than 15% of the World Source.

Mission Information: Any means can be used to acquire the World Source.

Mission Deadline: 16 natural days.

Mission Reward: Return Qualification

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

...

The return mission for the Giant world appeared very early, much earlier than in the Ghoul world.

Su Xiao had a vague feeling that the previous ’Attack and Defense Mission’ was Reincarnation Paradise preparing them for such tasks. During the ’Attack and Defense Mission,’ Reincarnation Paradise seemed to be compelling Contractors to cooperate.

Without completing the ’Attack and Defense Mission,’ the World Source couldn’t be obtained.

This type of large-scale mission was a first for Su Xiao, involving hundreds of Contractors and providing generous rewards.

...

In the Outer World, in a desolate wilderness.

The women of the Other Shore Flower huddled together, the cheerful atmosphere replaced by expressions of distress on every face.

Next to them was a tent, with people coming and going from inside. The Contractors exiting the tent wore medical gloves stained with blood.

”Candy, how’s the leader?”

The scheming woman’s eyes were filled with exhaustion, overwhelmed with a sense of defeat. Their team of over fifty had almost been wiped out by a single person—an incomprehensible feat.

”The leader’s condition has stabilized, though he was on the brink of death. The leader’s fatal wound is singular, but Sister Rose’s injuries are far more problematic.”

The scheming woman quickly stood up and entered the tent, immediately greeted by the thick scent of blood.

Cold Moon lay pale on a blanket, seemingly in a deep sleep but in reality, in a deep coma.

”Mor|phine, give me another injection of mor|phine.”

A hoarse voice came—it was Blood Rose. Seeing Blood Rose’s current state made the scheming woman’s throat dry and her bladder tighten.

Blood Rose pressed one hand against her throat, which had somewhat healed but still slowly bled.

With an arm severed and a piece of her jaw chopped off, Blood Rose was wrapped up like a mummy.

One cut had resulted in such terrible injuries. The scheming woman prayed not to encounter that monster again.

”Where are the recovery drugs? We bought 20,000 Paradise coins’ worth of healing items before entering the Derivative World.”

The scheming woman’s query caused Bee to lower his head. As a sniper, Bee wasn’t injured.

Hugging his sniper rifle, Bee sighed.

”The drugs were all used on the leader, which barely preserved his life. The energy within his body was so violent that it rejected external medicines.”

”What? What about Sister Rose?”

”That’s Sister Rose’s wish. She refused treatment every time we tried to help her~.”

Bee glanced at Blood Rose, full of admiration.

”Sister Rose, my mana has recovered. I’ll heal you now.”

Candy’s eyes brimmed with tears.

”Help... the leader... first. I... won’t die... just yet.”

Though Blood Rose was in agonizing pain and nearing unconsciousness, her intention remained firm.

”It’s alright—the leader’s wounds have stabilized.”

As she spoke, a vibrant green light emerged in Candy’s hands, brimming with life energy.

Candy’s eyes also turned a vibrant green as she employed her most powerful recovery skill.

Blood Rose’s injuries visibly healed, her fair jaw regrowing, though her severed arm did not regenerate.

”Phew~ I thought I’d permanently lose a kidney,” Blood Rose commented, causing Candy to flinch. Shouldn’t her throat injury take precedence?

”How’s the leader’s condition?”

”The physical wounds have healed, but he remains unconscious.”

”I see.”

Blood Rose placed her hand on Cold Moon’s pale cheek, letting out a long sigh.

”I’ll kill that bastard one day, absolutely!”

Bee’s cold voice resounded.

”Is that so? It’ll be tough,” Blood Rose replied calmly, surprising Candy and the scheming woman.

”Sister Rose, don’t you resent that Sword Man?”

Candy timidly asked.

”Of course, I do! He’s killed so many sisters, but he’s just an enemy, nothing more. Do you remember what fate befalls defeated female Contractors?”

Blood Rose’s words drained the color from Candy’s face. Defeated female Contractors endure inhumane humiliation before being killed, especially beauties like the Other Shore Flower women.

”In my eyes, that guy is simply an enemy, an adversary. Though terrifyingly powerful, I hate him immensely. Yet, compared to other male Contractors, I’d prefer to battle such an enemy. He would only kill us, not humiliate us.

By the way, that guy is called Bai Ye.”

Blood Rose, a warrior and an indomitable one at that, would rather die than suffer disgrace.

”Hopefully, we won’t encounter that Sword Man again. His look reminds me of a time before entering Reincarnation Paradise when I encountered a lion in the wild.”

If Candy were to list people she feared, Su Xiao would undoubtedly top it, with the Cowboy Hat Man below him.

The Other Shore Flower team had narrowly escaped disaster, yet they remained in the Giant world, meaning further encounters with Su Xiao were possible.

If that happens, it would likely result in their complete annihilation. Gathering a team takes time, but being wiped out happens in an instant.

...

Inside a residential house within the walls, Su Xiao held a blue treasure chest, which was sure to yield a blue-grade item.

Su Xiao took a deep breath, his anticipation rising. The value of a blue-grade equipment piece was significant; so far, he only had one blue-grade item, the Dragon Slash.

Though blue equipment was guaranteed, the rating could vary between 31 and 70. Scoring 31 would be like drawing a chieftain, but scoring 70 would mean hitting the jackpot.

”Let it be 70, or 60, or at least 50.”

The treasure chest slowly opened, revealing a hint of blue light.
