Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 764 - 74: Life in the World

Rumble—

The equipment enhancement machine operated at high speed, its momentum astonishing.

Su Xiao stood in front of the equipment enhancement machine, waiting, as two minutes felt extraordinarily long.

Click!

A crisp sound came from inside the equipment enhancement machine.

"It blew up. After all, attempting to enhance to +10 is pretty intense."

Upon hearing the crisp sound, the Contractors behind Su Xiao either shook their heads in regret or relished in his misfortune.

"Brother, don’t be discouraged, it’s just normal."

A big-bearded man spoke up to comfort him. Although he was consoling, the smile on his lips was quite irritating. However, looking at the equipment fragment in his hand, it seems he just experienced an enhancement failure.

Hiss—

The tray of the equipment enhancement machine popped out, and the Boundary Line lay unscathed on the tray, with fragments of a Phantom Demon Stone on the side.

[Boundary Line (Dark Purple) +9 failed. However, due to the protection of the Phantom Demon Stone (Dark Purple), the equipment remained undamaged, and the enhancement level was retained.]

The attempt to enhance the Boundary Line to +10 failed. Su Xiao silently lit a cigarette. He was not a constant victor, and after honing himself in multiple Derivative Worlds, although he felt disheartened, he did not show it.

The Phantom Demon Stone, though precious, is meant to protect the equipment during enhancement, meaning it will inevitably be shattered one day.

Furthermore, the Phantom Demon Stone has its limits. It’s only a Dark Purple item. For high-level enhancements above +12, even the Phantom Demon Stone cannot guarantee the equipment’s integrity once it fails.

"Stop here, although enhancing to +10 leads to a qualitative change, the risk is too high."

The big-bearded man advised again. Su Xiao offered him a cigarette, which he accepted with a smile but did not light. Accepting it was courteous, but not lighting it was cautious.

"My luck fluctuates, and in Reincarnation Paradise, it’s either climb to the peak or wait to die where you stand."

Su Xiao chose to continue enhancing, doing it barehanded!

So what if the Boundary Line shatters? Life is full of ’gambles’. If you win, you rise to glory; if you lose, you gain experience.

This isn’t recklessness but fearlessness. Even if one day he were to die in a Derivative World, Su Xiao could accept that, let alone the destruction of a single piece of equipment.

Rumble—

The equipment enhancement machine started operating again, and a smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face. Enhancing equipment without the protection of a Phantom Demon Stone felt entirely different from before.

Success or failure hung by a thread. Once successful, the joy and excitement are indescribable.

Hiss—

White steam surged as the tray of the equipment enhancement machine extended out.

[Boundary Line (Dark Purple) +10 success.]

The Boundary Line on the tray emitted a Qing-colored glow. Just a glance instilled a sense of sharpness and sturdiness.

"If this thing entangles you, even a Second Tier Boss can only cry?"

Contractors around gathered to watch, eager to see the attributes of the Boundary Line, but only Su Xiao had the right to view them.

Under the envious gaze of the Contractors, Su Xiao picked up the Boundary Line, examining its attributes independently.

...

Su Xiao wrapped the Boundary Line around his left hand, holding the wire wheel with his right, gradually exerting force with his arms.

Kaka—

The gritty sound of exertion was heard, causing the corner of a nearby Contractor’s mouth to twitch. This was the sound produced by extreme force pulling an object.

The force in Su Xiao’s hands gradually increased from three layers of strength to five, with no reaction from the Boundary Line; he decided to use full power.

The muscles in Su Xiao’s arms slightly bulged as he applied full force. The Boundary Line only stretched straight without any other response, so he slowly released the tension.

While in the Holy Grail World, the Resentful Orphan·Hughes once broke free from the Boundary Line. With its current strength, even if Hughes had a power-boosting state, he could still only howl in vain, unable to break free.

The sharpness of the Boundary Line was considerable but could not compare to Dragon Slash; its prowess lay in its sturdiness.

With a durability of 280 points +34 points of strength, not even the Resentful Orphan, nor any Third-tier Boss-level creatures entangled, could escape.

Moreover, the +8 enhancement effect adds +10 stealth, making the Boundary Line less noticeable, an ideal choice for laying traps.

After enhancing the Boundary Line, Su Xiao had 8,000 Paradise coins left as he walked towards the exit of the Equipment Strengthening Hall.

He removed the bracer from his left arm and fixed the wire wheel around the Boundary Line under his wrist. This set of wire wheels cost him nearly 10,000 Paradise coins to create and was enhanced to +10 along with the Boundary Line.

Though the strength of this wire wheel couldn’t match the Boundary Line, whenever the Boundary Line entangled an enemy, Su Xiao would grip it with all his might, leaving the wire wheel barely under strain. With the metal armguard protecting his palm, there was no risk of the Boundary Line injuring his hand, which is why he usually opts for a metal armguard.

Once the ultra-small hook lock was secured at the end of the Boundary Line, Su Xiao extended his left arm straight.

Ding—

The Boundary Line shot out as the wire wheel below Su Xiao’s wrist spun rapidly. As the Boundary Line extended several dozen meters, he flicked his wrist, changing the spin direction of the wire wheel, retracting the Boundary Line.

"Not bad."

Though Su Xiao only had 8,000 Paradise coins left, the expenditure had converted into combat strength.

Walking along the edge of the trading market, Su Xiao was ready to return to his exclusive room, but he slowed down as he passed by a stall.

The stall owner behind the stand had his head lowered, his gaze somewhat vacant, and his waist bulged slightly, presumably from carrying a sidearm.

"This thing..."

"Ah!"

Su Xiao just opened his mouth when the vacant-eyed stall owner was startled, instinctively raising his hands to shield himself. The vacant look in his eyes receded, replaced by a hysterical expression on the verge of a mental breakdown.

From this panicked reaction and extremely unstable mental state, Su Xiao could tell this guy had experienced no more than two Derivative Worlds, or even just survived his first, a newcomer living by the skin of his teeth.

"What’s wrong?"

The stall owner realized his momentary lapse, remembering the nightmare he experienced in the Derivative World, where creatures once confined to monitors appeared vividly before him, trying to tear him apart.

In the First Tier, 70% of newcomers can’t make it through their first Derivative World. They have not yet adjusted from peaceful real life to the harshness of Reincarnation Paradise. This adjustment is crucial before a newcomer’s survival rate can increase.

"This thing is not bad."

Su Xiao picked up an item from the stall.

"I won’t haggle. This was earned with my life!"

Su Xiao had not even begun to bargain when the stall owner decisively refused. This is a common problem among many newcomers who treat all items as treasures.

However, this time, the stall owner was right; he had indeed a decent item at his stall.
