Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 203: Chapter 13: Bitter Cold

[Time’s up, Derivative World: Slash-Red Pupil activated, no abnormalities in this world, space coordinates stable, consumed 0.018 ounces of Power of Space-time.]

[Based on the consumed Power of Space-time, the Contractor’s minimum comprehensive rating in this world must reach D+ level.]

Su Xiao stood still, having given up resisting.

Bang, a sensation of being hit on the back of his head appeared.

After going through several teleportation baptisms, Su Xiao was somewhat used to this feeling.

When consciousness returned, Su Xiao found himself in a vast icy landscape, with cold wind carrying snowflakes. He shivered involuntarily.

Snowflakes danced in the air, the cold wind pierced like a knife into the bone marrow, the temperature was at least around minus 40°.

Even Su Xiao couldn’t withstand such a temperature for long, the cold wind was eroding the heat from his body.

”So...so cold.”

A trembling voice came from not far away, Su Xiao turned to look, there were a dozen Contractors nearby.

”Come...closer to me, I’m a Fire...Mage.”

An old man in a mage robe shakily raised a magic wand.

Whoosh~.

A fireball the size of a washbasin appeared, and those dozen Contractors rushed at it like hungry wolves.

”Finally warm.”

”Is this meant to freeze us to death? Thank you, old man.”

A strong man huddled up with his arms around his shoulders, covered in metal armor with poor cold resistance.

”We are all people struggling to survive, don’t mention it.”

The old mage smiled kindly and patted the strong man’s shoulder as he spoke.

”Hey, young man over there, aren’t you coming over?”

The old mage called out to Su Xiao.

”No need, thank you.”

Su Xiao didn’t sense kindness from him, instead, he felt a ’similar nature’.

”See you around then, let’s not disturb each other.”

The old mage still smiled warmly, but Su Xiao sensed a different message in that smile.

’No disturbance, no interference.’

Watching the Contractors leave, Su Xiao blew warm breath into his hands. This entry point into the Derivative World was quite unfriendly, it’s all frozen soil.

[Enter world; Slash-Red Pupil]

World Difficulty: LV.8. Extremely difficult.

World Source; 0% (Growth through exploration by the Hunter or interaction with current world characters; calculate together with mission difficulty upon settling world, forming final rating.)

World Introduction; Forty-eight Imperial Tools, the Empire’s transformation, Hunter Troop, Night Raid Team, human experimentation, and the decaying Thousand-Year Empire.

The clash of sword and blade, battle of Imperial Tool Users, the choice between good and evil, the cycle of slaughter and peace.

Imperial Tools: About a thousand years ago, to maintain long-term rule, the Empire’s founding Emperor amassed unimaginable wealth and power, gathered top-level Masters worldwide, used legendary super-dangerous creatures as materials, rare metals like Oharai Steel, and many lost secret techniques to develop forty-eight inimitable weapons known as Imperial Tools.

Main Mission; Imperial tool·Supreme power.

Hunting Mission: Clear Violator number 113 ??.

When the Hunter is within a kilometer of the Violator, the Hunting Function activates automatically.

Warning: Do not mention anything about ’Paradise’ in this world, or face forced execution if the warning is ignored!

Hint: Detection shows the Hunter has not mastered this world’s language. Automatically master this world’s language by consuming 100 Paradise coins.

World, start!

...

Su Xiao was troubled on seeing the hunting task ’Violator 113 ??’.

”Paradise, what’s with the ??.”

Su Xiao’s inquiry related to the hunting mission, and Reincarnation Paradise promptly responded.

[The official number for the Violator is 113??, no errors, Hunting Function check in progress..., Hunting Function normal, Hunter is advised to actively complete the hunting task.]

Su Xiao raised an eyebrow, such a strange numbering, there must be something suspicious.

Su Xiao checked the main mission.

[Main Mission: Imperial tool·Supreme power]

Difficulty Level: Lv.8

Task Introduction: Acquire the activation key for Imperial tool·Supreme power.

Task Information: Imperial tool·Supreme power is the strongest Imperial Tool, current holder is the Empire’s Little Emperor.

Task Deadline: 30 natural days.

Task Reward: 4 attribute points, 12000 Paradise coins.

Task Penalty: All attributes -3.

...

Su Xiao tightened his collar, unsure of his current location and how to complete the main mission, requiring consideration.

Su Xiao leaned towards joining the Empire’s side. According to the original plot, joining the Night Raid side would make obtaining the activation key for ’Imperial tool·Supreme power’ not easy.

If following the normal process, one only has a chance to get the key after defeating the Little Emperor, and it’s still just a chance.

Would the Revolutionary army allow him to take away ’Imperial tool·Supreme power’ key? The answer is no, and they would likely oppose him.

Su Xiao is not one to follow the rules, he plans to infiltrate the Empire camp, despite the Empire camp being the ultimate loser, and that result being irreversible, it is the public sentiment.

Few Contractors will join the Empire camp, but many will join the Night Raid Team. In the original story, the Revolutionary army’s combat power is stronger than the Empire, over seventy percent of the Empire’s chancellors were pulled in by the Revolutionary army.

Su Xiao intends to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Empire, seek an opportunity to approach the Little Emperor, and decisively seize the key.

The competition for the main mission is fierce, there is only one key, but there are many Contractors.

”Interesting, all the Contractors vying for one key, let’s see who’s quicker, though I prefer to chop off the outstretched hands of others.”

Feeling another shiver in the cold wind, Su Xiao took out a compass, which he had bought from the trading market, supposedly useful in various Derivative Worlds.

After finding direction, Su Xiao headed south, assuming the current location is the Extreme North, the direction of the Empire is south.

Creak, creak...

Su Xiao left a trail of footprints in the thick snow and gradually vanished into the wind and snow.

The task deadline is a month, the World of Crimson is clearly different from the Giant world.

Walking in the wind and snow, an hour later, Su Xiao started feeling weak, even a bit drowsy, a symptom of excessive body heat loss.

Fetching some high-calorie food to replenish stamina, Su Xiao continued forward.

Reincarnation Paradise wouldn’t teleport him here without reason.

After about two hours of travel, Su Xiao felt a slight temperature rise, now approximately minus 30°, still icy cold, but not at risk of freezing at any moment.

Whoosh~.

A gust of wind blew by, sending a flurry of snowflakes dancing in the air.

Su Xiao shielded his face with his hand, vaguely seeing a towering structure in the distance through the storm.

[You have entered the Northern Frontier area.]

Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt appeared, reinvigorating Su Xiao, who quickly headed towards the border.

Upon approaching, Su Xiao realized what he saw before was not a tall structure but a city wall.

The black stone city wall stood in the wind and snow, its surface pitted, appearing unrestored for over a hundred years.

The city wall alone reflected the Empire’s decay, leaving the border defense unrepaired, despite this wall being responsible for resisting the northern Alien Tribe.

”I wonder what the current timeline is, joining the Empire camp may not be difficult if it’s that timeline.”

Bracing against the wind and snow, Su Xiao moved closer to the city wall.
