Free Web NovelChapter 1289: Chapter 104: Choice
[The new Derivative World will open in 1 hour, please prepare, Hunter.]
In his exclusive room, Su Xiao was reading the emails. There were three in total, from the Black Merchant, Umbrella Brother, and Xia.
The Black Merchant didn’t have anything important to say, the main point was that the consignment was already arranged, and the summoner suit had been connected with 18 potential buyers, most of whom showed interest in purchasing.
The trading channels of the Black Merchant are far beyond what Su Xiao can compare to, but the Black Merchant doesn’t work without due diligence. They charge a 10% commission, which seems a lot, but in reality, the Black Merchant can sell those three items at a higher price, making a profit from the price difference. It’s fair and reasonable.
Xia, on the other hand, had an urgent matter. Her next Derivative World is Slash-Red Pupil, so she wanted to get a ’World Guide’ from Su Xiao.
Su Xiao had indeed experienced the World of Crimson, and he knew a lot of confidential information, like the location of the Revolutionary Army’s base, the underground alchemy lab in the Royal Palace, etc.
Su Xiao only took 5 minutes to plan out a ’World Guide,’ but he made a special note that this was based on his own experiences.
First, join Esdeath’s army because she holds military power. Next, locate the position of the Night Raid Organization, and after Esdeath’s "Hunter Troop" is formed, report the information about Red Eye and others to Will. Will has a gentle nature and is relatively easy to get along with.
Then, wait for an opportunity to exploit the chaos. If you can survive this stage, then find a chance to enter the large alchemy lab under the Royal Palace (this place is extremely dangerous).
When Su Xiao sent this ’World Guide’ to Xia, she was devastated. The first step required by Su Xiao made her feel that it was almost impossible—joining Esdeath’s troop? She’s a Sadist Queen, an extremely dangerous existence, and it could easily lead to a tragic end.
Su Xiao did consider Xia’s capabilities; the premise of his ’World Guide’ was that Xia was not afraid of death.
Compared to Xia’s email, Umbrella Brother’s email was more amusing.
’Recently, I’ve been constantly pursued by people from the Blood Gate. Stan’s wife often comes to find me. For special reasons, I urgently need information on Huang Yan. Waiting online, very urgent.’
Su Xiao didn’t have all the information on Huang Yan, but having fought him before, he understood the opponent’s combat style to some extent.
After replying to Umbrella Brother’s email, Su Xiao checked the remaining Paradise coin balance.
Paradise coin remaining: 918,300 points.
With over 900,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao first traded 100,000 Paradise coins to Bubu Wang and gave it a list to procure from the trading market. These are important supplies.
While venturing in the Derivative World, having only enough healing items isn’t sufficient. In the unpredictable environment, various sudden events may occur, necessitating the preparation of various items. Su Xiao is not a magic cat with everything in his Storage Space, so he must pre-stock supplies. Perhaps a bottle of oxygen worth 500 Paradise coins might save Su Xiao’s life.
Had it been in the past, holding such a huge sum, Su Xiao would definitely have chosen to enhance some ability or use it for strengthening, but now time is not enough. The risk of enhancement is high, and adaptation is needed for ability improvement. He only has a little over forty minutes before entering the new Derivative World, leaving no time for adaptation. This is his assessment world for advancing to the Fourth Tier, and the difficulty is certainly high.
Temporarily storing these over 800,000 Paradise coins is not a wise choice either; Paradise coins must quickly be converted into combat strength or material reserves.
The best option currently is to exchange lots of firearm ammunition and manufacture explosives.
In previous worlds, Su Xiao rarely used the Duke of Extinction, mainly because the bullets were too expensive. The newly acquired "Destroy·Assassin" handgun also had prohibitively expensive bullets.
7.62mm Hydrogen Alloy Bullets, 900 Paradise coins each.
19.67mm Nano Core High-Speed Bullets, 1,000 Paradise coins each, and attribute bullets cost 1,500 Paradise coins each.
...
Su Xiao directly exchanged for 300 7.62mm Hydrogen Alloy Bullets. These are pistol bullets, and the D·Assassin’s magazine has a capacity of 12 rounds. In intense combat, 12 bullets can be used up in one exchange.
After paying 270,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao obtained 300 7.62mm Hydrogen Alloy Bullets. The D·Assassin comes with five magazines, providing sustained firepower output.
For the sniper rifle bullets, 300 rounds were unnecessary; 100 were enough, with 30 being attribute bullets, costing a total of 115,000 Paradise coins.
In this way, Su Xiao’s Paradise coin balance was reduced to 433,300 points. It seemed like a large expenditure, but in reality, he was merely prepaying for bullet costs. These bullets are enough for several intense battles or to be used in several worlds, as preparedness averts disasters.
Besides ammunition, Su Xiao hadn’t supplemented explosives for a while. Special level Alchemy Bombs, Apollo, and other explosives need replenishing.
To manufacture a Special Level Alchemy Bomb requires 80 Mana Value + 300 Paradise coins each, a consumption not significant to Su Xiao.
As for Apollo, each requires 500 Mana Value + 80,000 Paradise coins. This item must always be kept 1 to 2 in stock for emergencies.
When Bubu Wang returned to the exclusive room, Su Xiao’s remaining Paradise coin balance had dwindled to 267,000 points. He supplemented two Apollos and a large number of alchemy bombs. With his Tier Position upgrade, the costs for supplies began to soar.
Su Xiao was about to enter the Derivative World; the remaining Paradise coins could only be stored in the Reincarnation Mark.
[Prompt: The Hunter Level has reached Level 30. You are about to begin the promotion test to the Fourth Tier. Do you wish to postpone this assessment?]
[If the promotion test is postponed, the Hunter’s gains in the next Derivative World will be reduced by 5%. If postponed further, the gains will gradually decrease, up to a maximum reduction of 40%.]
[Warning: Participation in the Fourth Tier assessment requires experiencing the Third Tier War World.]
[It has been checked that the Hunter has passed the Proof of The Strong assessment, thus need not experience the Third Tier War World.]
[The Hunter is about to enter a large open world, world selection in progress.]
[The Dawn Adventurer Group ability has been activated, and two large open worlds have been drawn. The Hunter can choose one of the following worlds.]
1. Type-Moon World (Open World)
2. One Piece: Dressrosa Sea Battle (Open World)
...
Two choices. Su Xiao hasn’t yet experienced the danger level of the Type-Moon World, but its power system is highly complex, with the Sight of Death Demon Eye being a representative, even involving Cause and Effect.
If Su Xiao were a Magic Class, he would definitely risk choosing the Type-Moon World.
As for the Pirate World, Su Xiao has entered this world twice before. More accurately, he has only entered once.
The first time Su Xiao entered the Pirate World, he was teleported to a small country for the newbie trial. Other than encountering a young protagonist, he didn’t meet any key story characters.
The second time he entered the Pirate World was different. The place he arrived at was the City of Water, marking his true exploration of the Pirate World. It was then he became enemies with the World Government, Navy, and CP Department.
Interestingly, this is Su Xiao’s second chance to enter the Dressrosa Sea Battle, which is incredibly dangerous, and the last time he was forced to give up.
The Dressrosa Sea Battle involves a lot of forces, including three of the Four Emperors, the Navy, and even the Revolutionary Army might be involved.
In this period, Ace has just been captured, and the Top War will start in a month.
Dressrosa Sea Battle is closely related to the Top Battlefields, and Su Xiao even suspects that to participate in the Top Battlefields, one must first experience the Dressrosa Sea Battle.
