Reincarnation Paradise Park

Although Su Xiao is not sure whether A Mu’s condition is good or bad, one thing is certain: without replenishing ice energy for A Mu, it is not far from ‘devouring itself.’ A Mu is fierce enough to want to devour its core array map when extremely hungry.

“Moo~”

The red light in A Mu’s eyes became more intense. Su Xiao took out several low-grade alchemy materials, which had a common characteristic: they were either ice attribute or cold-natured.

Upon seeing the materials Su Xiao took out, A Mu, lying on the ground, swallowed and wanted to eat but didn’t dare to snatch.

Noticing that A Mu hadn’t completely lost its mind, Su Xiao sat up and handed the materials to A Mu. A Mu swallowed the ice attribute materials in a few bites, and judging by its expression, it still felt unsatisfied, but the red light in its eyes quickly faded.

In less than ten minutes, the team storage space was filled with two pieces of light gold grade equipment and a bottle of golden quality potion.

Su Xiao tentatively handed a longsword named [Bartken] to A Mu, a sword seemingly forged from ice, constantly emitting cold air.

A Mu took the longsword and bit down on the blade with a click. Given the strength of a light gold grade weapon, A Mu’s flat teeth were likely to shatter, yet the actual situation was shocking. An icy blue light engulfed A Mu’s teeth as it crushed the sword.

In at most three bites, A Mu had chewed through the [Bartken] longsword.

Seeing this, Su Xiao’s eye twitched and took out another piece of ice attribute equipment, this time a ring. As expected, A Mu didn’t even chew, directly swallowing the entirely ice-blue ring.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao took out a bottle of ice attribute enhancing potion, and A Mu drank it in one go, like drinking orange juice, also chewing the crystal bottle that held the potion.

Nearly 250,000 Paradise coins worth of ice attribute items, A Mu devoured completely in less than 5 minutes, which made Su Xiao realize that the 800,000 Paradise coins spent on equipment or items might not fill A Mu’s stomach.

Realizing this, Su Xiao immediately contacted Reed and communicated with him remotely.

“What’s the matter?”

Over on Reed’s side, there was the laughter of women, more than one, indicating that this old fellow often enjoyed a good time in Reincarnation Paradise.

“If I need ice attribute energy, what’s the most efficient method?”

“Ice attribute energy?”

In an ancient European-style tavern, Reed gestured for the two mature women by his side to stop giggling.

“Regarding ice attribute energy, the hammer you took last time is the best choice; it forms a self-cycling with the environment, providing as much ice energy as needed…”

Before Reed could finish, Su Xiao interrupted.

“It’s been eaten.”

“E-eaten?”

Reed, usually calm, was quite shaken. The war hammer he forged was used to suppress a certain consciousness in Xiya Temple.

“How was it eaten? Explain in detail—devoured? Integrated? Absorbed?”

“About seven bites, completely eaten…”

“Did you raise an equipment deconstruction machine?!”

“Let’s not focus on that; if ice energy is needed, I need your advice.”

Su Xiao contacted Reed for a simple reason: purchasing ice attribute equipment would only address the immediate crisis. With A Mu’s current appetite, even legendary ice attribute equipment might not ‘satisfy’ it.

“Let me think.”

Reed pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

“Illusionary Light Ore, have you heard of it?”

“I’ve heard of it. Is it feasible?”

“Certainly, the hammer was made from Illusionary Ore. How much do you need?”

Reed hiccupped, revealing he wasn’t quite drunk yet.

“I need a lot.”

“Give me half an hour, and deduct the cost from those Legendary Honors.”

“No problem.”

Su Xiao ended the call and contacted Bubu Wang and Bennie, instructing them to stop buying equipment or items and instead purchase ice attribute ore or crystal stones. For now, A Mu will eat anything as long as it’s ice attribute energy.

Throwing A Mu a bottle of ice attribute potion, Su Xiao waited for Reed’s news; only a forging master like Reed could quickly acquire a large quantity of Illusionary Light Ore.

Not long after, Bubu Wang and Bennie returned to the exclusive room, placing dozens of ice attribute ores and crystals on the ground. Now, A Mu could eat them freely.

Regarding the changes within A Mu, Su Xiao couldn’t understand what was happening. The purple crystal stone from the Dark Raven World was the main culprit causing A Mu to insanely devour ice attribute energy.

From an alchemical perspective, A Mu’s current condition is unscientific as it transforms towards a biological form. The Demon Castle’s Alice tried many times to have the Wolf steward transform in this direction, but regrettably failed.

Su Xiao didn’t believe his alchemical expertise surpassed Alice’s, so the issue must be related to the Xiya Temple, Death Land, Ice Warhammer, and the purple crystal, but Su Xiao couldn’t pinpoint the specific reason. Nonetheless, A Mu’s transformation toward a biological form was not abrupt.

Previously, A Mu was already filled with ice energy and formed an internal cycle with the Ice Warhammer, where ice energy served as its blood. At that time, A Mu was already considered a pseudo-biological form between alchemical creatures.

Currently, A Mu is transforming into a biological form. Whether it will explode or transform completely upon absorbing sufficient ice energy is temporarily unknown.

Su Xiao overlooked a key point: A Mu fundamentally differs from the Wolf steward because the Wolf steward’s core array map was very trashy, with materials significant to Alice.

On A Mu’s side, it’s about gradual updating; if the core array map’s internal materials overload, Su Xiao would immediately replace them with more advanced materials, as his ever-growing strength allows access to higher-grade materials.

If the Wolf steward progressed from scrap iron to titanium alloy, A Mu would gradually update, making their situations very different. More importantly, the Ice Warhammer suppressed something very terrifying that was brought from the Void by Shadow of Annihilation Law.

Long-term suppression led the Ice Warhammer to absorb that consciousness’s aura. A Mu formed an internal cycle with the Ice Warhammer, eventually fusing with that unknown consciousness, causing the changes seen in A Mu today.

The situation involved is too complex. Su Xiao, not being Holmes reincarnated, couldn’t deduce these connections.

While contemplating, Reed contacted him, requesting temporary permission. Su Xiao almost granted Reed temporary access to the exclusive room but suddenly thought about the Yeguang Maple Tree in the corner.

Despite being collaborators, Su Xiao felt cautious since the Yeguang Maple Tree was significant, with only a few existing in the entire Void.

Signaling Bubu Wang to move the Yeguang Maple Tree into the laboratory, Su Xiao granted Reed temporary permission to enter the exclusive room.

Reed entered the exclusive room, and with bleary eyes, paused. The room contained a cat, a dog, and a Minotaur sitting on the floor; at first glance, it appeared he had stumbled into a zoo.

“Got the stuff. It cost about 20 Legendary Honors.”

Reed waved his hand, causing a large quantity of ice-blue ore to appear in the exclusive room, nearly filling half the lounge. A Mu immediately pounced, biting a fist-sized Illusionary Ore, with cold air spreading from its center.
