Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 944: Chapter 32: Rules

The rules narrated by the wolf steward were simple: the fourth game adopts a survival competition system.

Including Su Xiao, a total of seven gamers entered the Forest of the Strong, and they need to survive in the Forest of the Strong for five days; when five days are up, the game ends.

However, merely surviving for five days is not enough. There are only six slots for passing this fourth game, meaning one out of the seven will certainly be eliminated. Elimination in the Demon Castle game is equivalent to death.

No one wants to die. The gamer with the lowest game points at the end of the fourth game will be eliminated, and judging by the tone of the wolf steward, the animals and ’Guests’ in the Forest of the Strong might be very formidable, the exact number is unknown.

Of course, besides earning points, there are other ways to pass the fourth game, that is, through mutual slaughter among gamers, so then the remaining six won’t have to worry about the slots.

Alice is a schemer, she enjoys watching this game, so she has also provided a reward, creating a competitive relationship among the gamers—after surviving five days, the gamer with the highest points can choose any item from Alice’s treasure house, which is a tempting reward.

Survival, competition, deception, alluring rewards, ambushed ’Guests’ in the forest, various creatures dwelling in the forest.

The content of the fourth game seems simple, only survival, but that’s not actually the case.

Compared to the first three games, the fourth game’s freedom is much higher, even though it’s dangerous, this danger can be avoided with skill. Su Xiao prefers this type of game—fighting to the death and being indifferent to life and death—the third game before was too mind-bending.

Su Xiao understood the game rules, but he still couldn’t grasp the significance of the backpack in his hands. He didn’t need these materials; he had carried a large amount of food, fresh water, and recovery potions in his storage space.

Su Xiao took a piece of meat jerky out of the backpack, trying to check the attributes of the meat jerky.

[Deer Jerky]

Quality: White

Type: Food

Effect: Relieves hunger, replenishes stamina.

Rating: 8

Description: A deer jerky bolstered by the Demon Castle’s shelter, capable of staying unspoiled for a long time in the Forest of the Strong.

...

Upon seeing the attributes of the meat jerky in hand, Su Xiao’s pupils contracted. He immediately took out a piece of food from storage space, also meat jerky.

The jerky had just left storage space and wasn’t clear to Su Xiao yet before it started to decay. In an instant, the jerky turned into dust in his hands, falling through his fingers.

Seeing this scene, Pibang and the others also immediately tried. No matter what food it was, once out of storage space, it would instantly decay into ash, and fresh water would evaporate into vapor instantly.

”Your provisions can’t withstand the environment of the Forest of the Strong, including those strange potions.”

The wolf steward’s mouth slightly curled up, seemingly already expecting this scene to occur.

Is it truly caused by the environment of the Forest of the Strong? Su Xiao felt that this wasn’t the case. If all external items decayed within the Forest of the Strong, then some of his clothing would also decay. It was certainly Alice’s doing.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of white-quality potion. This item was left over during his newbie period, and once his physical attributes exceeded 50 points, the recovery effect of this potion became negligible, so it remained in his storage space.

When he just took out the white potion, it started to evaporate quickly, even the glass bottle containing the potion decayed.

After some attempts, Su Xiao found that food, fresh water, and recovery potions would instantly decay once taken out from storage space, whereas functional items and equipment weren’t affected, nor were ordinary living goods like a flint or tents.

Su Xiao understood the significance of the issued backpack—the supply of food, fresh water, and potions in the backpack could be used within the Forest of the Strong.

Fresh water was understandable—such a dense forest must have water sources, but as for food and potions, these resources would be very scarce. Who knows what species of creatures and ’Guests’ reside within the Forest of the Strong—if they are energy organisms or summoned creatures, their meat would be inedible.

Indeed, most summoning-type creatures’ meat cannot be eaten. Summons often have spatial attributes and are imbued with various states by their masters; poisons and curses are common. Eating the meat of such summons would be fortunate not to die, let alone replenish stamina.

Su Xiao estimated the amount of jerky in the bag: with his and Bubu Wang’s appetite, it’s unknown whether it would be enough for one meal. The means to obtain food are straightforward: rob or slay enemies.

Su Xiao was not skilled in inference, but he excelled in robbing or slaying, and his gaze instinctively glanced towards others’ backpacks—not intentionally, merely instinctual.

Once entering the Forest of the Strong, without guaranteed food and healing supplies, the cost of combat becomes very high—combat equals stamina consumption and possible injury, leading to shortened hunger time, resulting in slow death.

Although Su Xiao’s physical constitution is indeed powerful, this strong constitution requires a substantial energy consumption. He is not cultivating immortality, unable to fast; the stronger he becomes, the more energy he consumes. Strength does not appear without reason, it’s not supernatural, but mere wishful thinking.

In Su Xiao’s current state, if he doesn’t fight and fresh water is sufficient, he can maintain combat strength for about two days. After two days, he would grow increasingly weak, and his combat strength would decrease rapidly.

Fresh water not being sufficient means he can maintain peak condition for about 36 hours.

”This is damn teasing me.”

A somewhat angry voice said—it came from Pibang, whose face quivered with frustration. For him, fat equals combat strength—without food supply, his combat strength would weaken.

”Everyone, it’s time to delve into the Forest of the Strong. You go first.”

The wolf steward pointed at the detective little girl. The detective little girl also understood the situation. Hugging the bag, she ran into the forest at an incredible speed.

”Five minutes later, the next gamer will set off.”

This was the wolf steward’s way of preventing a big melee at the starting point.

Su Xiao tossed the backpack to Bubu Wang—this supply was precious. If it suffered losses in intense combat, it would be a huge loss.

Five minutes later, the Golden Glasses Man set out, disappearing into the forest quickly, with the National Foot Elder Three next to go.

While waiting to delve into the Forest of the Strong, Su Xiao quietly approached the demon servant, not forgetting Sha’s hints.

The demon servant sat dazed on a stake. Previously, the Golden Glasses Man had tried to negotiate with it, but his Charm Attributes took a nosedive, and the demon servant didn’t even glance at him.

Su Xiao neared the demon servant, which showed no reaction. Taking advantage of the wolf steward’s inattention, he activated the Demon’s Mark on his arm, drawing out a trace of the Power of the Demon while gathering a surge of Blue Steel Shadow Energy at his fingertip.
