CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 59: FIND A PLACE WITH NO PEOPLE...

"How about my proposal..."

The attractive woman looked expectantly, moving closer to Su Xiao.

"1500 Paradise coins per person."

Although 1000 Paradise coins per person is not a small amount, the fragment of the Netherworld blueprints can remove a penalty of 28,000 Paradise coins. Even if Su Xiao asked for 3000 Paradise coins, these Contractors would have to comply.

The attractive woman nodded, looking at those Contractors. She was only responsible for the negotiations, and these Contractors did not belong to a single adventure group.

"I agree, 1500 Paradise coins is not much."

"I agree too, I was already prepared to accept the penalty."

Most of the Contractors agreed. Although a few were dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to show it.

Su Xiao took out the Netherworld blueprints, and all Contractors fixed their eyes on the blueprints, showing greed.

Obtaining this blueprint can offer an additional 5 attribute points plus a reward of 14,000 Paradise coins.

Su Xiao tore off a small piece roughly the size of a fingernail from the blank part of the Netherworld blueprint. There was no prompt, indicating that the attractive woman’s method was indeed feasible.

The Contractors quickly stepped forward, and Su Xiao tore off the entire blank part of the Netherworld blueprint, leaving the part with text untouched.

[Contractor No. *** has sent a trade request.]

[You received 1500 Paradise coins.]

[You received 1500 Paradise coins.]

[You received 1500 Paradise coins.]

...

There were 23 Contractors in total, earning Su Xiao a total of 34,500 Paradise coins, which was a pretty substantial gain.

The Contractors who obtained the blueprints quickly left with joy on their faces, relieved to have escaped the penalty. They never thought of contending for the entire blueprint.

In this Derivative World, only a few people were eligible to fight for the blueprint: namely Su Xiao, Cowboy Hat Man, Crazy Healer, three from National Foot, and a violator.

The Contractors quickly dispersed, but the attractive woman did not leave.

"Big Boss, how about finding a quiet place for a quickie?"

The attractive woman grabbed Su Xiao’s hand and placed it inside her clothes.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nose; she was a real enchantress.

"Don’t take me as a random woman. I just feel a connection with you."

The attractive woman’s face was slightly flushed, like a fox discovering its prey; she loved getting intimate with the strong.

"For now... I don’t have time."

Withdrawing his hand from the woman’s clothes, Su Xiao looked outside the station.

The attractive woman was startled by Su Xiao’s rejection, which surprised her. She never expected Su Xiao to refuse her, given her 29 points in Charm Attributes.

"If I were you, I’d choose to escape immediately."

Steady footsteps came from outside the station. Su Xiao took out the [Strawberry juice] and drank it, restoring 21% of his Life Value.

The attractive woman looked outside, and after seeing who was there, she trembled, left her contact number with Su Xiao, and quickly left.

"If you need information, you can find me. I’m Shui Yuan."

Shui Yuan walked out of the station in a graceful manner, seemingly terrified of the approaching person.

A strong man walked into the station, dressed in a black priest’s robe. He was Crazy Healer.

Crazy Healer didn’t actually want to leave Justice Tower, but he was ’broke.’ His current balance was only 42 Paradise coins, all used to upgrade his skills.

"Those shots felt great, didn’t they? My armor lost 41 points in durability."

At this remark, Crazy Healer’s facial muscles twitched slightly. He was quite poor, and repairing purple-grade armor was expensive.

"Did you come alone? That Cowboy Hat Man didn’t come?"

Looking at the man not far away, Su Xiao had already sensed that the man was very strong.

"That guy’s target is the Lion Wei Qu; he’s not very interested in the blueprints."

Crazy Healer removed the scythe from his back. He didn’t tell Su Xiao to hand over the blueprints; saying such nonsense would make him a fool. In Crazy Healer’s view, everything had to be based on strength.

"Talking too much is meaningless. Let’s start."

Crazy Healer took a deep breath, and golden light began to glow around his body.

"Resistance."

Crazy Healer shouted angrily, and a golden shockwave spread outwards. Su Xiao nailed Dragon Slayer Flash to the ground, preventing his retreat.

Crazy Healer was trying to buff himself, and interrupting was unlikely. Su Xiao decided not to interrupt and instead took out healing items to restore his Life Value.

While Su Xiao drank the healing items, Crazy Healer’s side was quite ’lively.’

"Dawn’s Words."

"Angel’s Breath."

"Holy Revenge."

"Purification."

"Intermediate Purification."

"Guardian Badge."

"Honor Shout."

...

All kinds of light flashed around Crazy Healer. After buffing himself, he had 8 buff states, 4 healing states, and 6 layers of shield added.

After buffing, Crazy Healer’s aura changed. The golden light around him faded, replaced by black mist swirling around him.

The black mist came from the war scythe in his hand, and each time Crazy Healer swung it, a trace of light would flash.

Crazy Healer had a unique habit: he usually didn’t heal others or add buff states. In his words, with his equipment and attributes, why should he heal anyone else?

With the shock wave gone, Su Xiao’s Life Value had recovered to over 80%. Though not at his peak state, he was ready to fight.

There was no avoiding this battle; it stemmed from a mission conflict. Crazy Healer wouldn’t be satisfied with just the fragments; he wanted all or nothing.

"Come on. Let’s fight, the winner takes all."

Crazy Healer stomped the ground beneath him, causing debris to fly as he rushed towards Su Xiao.

Tightly gripping Dragon Slash, Su Xiao scattered Special level Alchemy Bombs on the ground, hesitated for a moment and didn’t use Boundary Line immediately.

Being a close combat expert, Crazy Healer required Boundary Line to be used at crucial moments.

Lifting his long knife, Su Xiao greeted Crazy Healer’s approach.

Clang.

Their weapons clashed, a mix of gold and iron rang out, sparks flew, and an invisible shockwave spread, blowing Su Xiao’s black hair.

"You actually blocked it, impressive." Crazy Healer chuckled.

Su Xiao calmly blocked the scythe, surprising Crazy Healer.

Not only did Su Xiao block the scythe, but after the weapons locked, he switched from one-handed to two-handed grip, pressing down hard.

Crazy Healer’s expression changed as his jaw muscles tightened.

"Holy... Damn."

Crazy Healer was just about to use a move when a stabbing pain hit his abdomen: Su Xiao had side-kicked him.

Crazy Healer was kicked flying, rolled a few times on the ground, then steadied himself, just as Su Xiao slashed down.

Crazy Healer, being a skilled close combatant, quickly adjusted despite being kicked.

In his understanding, Contractors who wielded swords usually only focused on their weapon, not their footing.

The clashing sound of weapons continued, as Su Xiao and Crazy Healer engaged in fierce combat.

Crazy Healer swung his war scythe so tightly it was impenetrable, while Su Xiao consistently attacked.

Flashes of the blade shed light as Su Xiao severed a half-meter-thick concrete pillar, leaving a smooth cut, causing Crazy Healer’s pupils to contract; the blade was incredibly sharp.

As Crazy Healer retreated, he sensed something was wrong, noticing two snake-thick white snakes coiled around his leg.

"Boom."

Upon hearing Su Xiao’s shout, Crazy Healer sensed imminent danger.

Boom!

A massive fire cloud surged forward, prompting Su Xiao to shield his face with his arm and slash away a rapidly flying iron rod with his long knife.
