CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 86: BIG CLEARANCE SALE

After opening the treasure chest, Su Xiao checked the current number of Paradise coins.

Paradise coins: 41,900.

Although Paradise coins seem substantial, for Su Xiao right now, it’s far from sufficient. He needs to convert some resources into Paradise coins.

There’s quite a bit to sell this time, which can generate a huge profit. The items to be sold are:

[Chakra Training Method (Beginner)]

[Mithril Holy Ring (Purple)]

[Mikasa’s Mind +5 (Blue)]

[Snuggle Paradise (Dark Purple)]

Once all these items are sold, at least hundreds of thousands of Paradise coins can be obtained.

Su Xiao currently needs Paradise coins urgently. For example, to upgrade Sword Technique Master, each level requires not only Soul Crystals ×10 but also 50,000 Paradise coins.

Not only Sword Technique Master, other abilities also consume Paradise coins heavily. Paradise coins are good things, the more, the better.

"Let’s go, to the marketplace."

Su Xiao led Bubu Wang to the marketplace.

"Did Xia look for you?"

"Woof."

"Oh? So you sparred with her."

Bubu Wang nodded proudly, lifting its head high, eyes seeming to say, "I beat that woman thoroughly, made her cry for her parents."

Meanwhile, in Xia’s restaurant, Xia lay on a dining table, dejected, her fair index finger drawing circles on the table.

"I can’t believe I lost to a Siberian Husky and got thoroughly thrashed. What a disgrace, where did it learn those evasive steps? It defies logic."

Recalling the previous spar, Xia couldn’t even touch Bubu Wang’s fur. It was too agile, with very cunning timing and angles for counterattacks.

Following Su Xiao every day, Bubu Wang had witnessed countless battles. Combat is not just Su Xiao’s routine, but also Bubu Wang’s.

If not for laziness, if Bubu Wang went against First Tier contractors, as long as they weren’t too strong, they wouldn’t be a match for Bubu Wang.

Though Bubu Wang is silly, naive, and cute, it doesn’t mean it’s weak.

...

Inside the marketplace, Su Xiao arrived at the stall he often used. There was no one there this time. This stall is located at the southeast corner of the trading area, not too crowded but also not deserted.

Su Xiao doesn’t like being surrounded by a large number of contractors. If someone is sincere, they buy; if not, they leave. At least he won’t linger long at a stall unless he’s interested in negotiating a price.

After paying the rental fee, Su Xiao began setting prices for the items.

First is [Chakra Training Method (Beginner)]. Although this is only Blue Quality, it allows contractors to convert mana into chakra for ninjutsu use.

Someone once sold [Chakra Training Method] in the trading market for a final price of 200,000 Paradise coins, so Su Xiao priced [Chakra Training Method (Beginner)] at 200,000 Paradise coins.

The second item is [Snuggle Paradise (Dark Purple)]. Although it’s Dark Purple Quality, it belongs to the key-type consumables, somewhat similar to the previously purchased [Beheading Sword (Damaged)]. Snuggle Paradise’s entry point is earlier, during the Chunin Examination period, which is much safer.

After some hesitation, Su Xiao priced [Snuggle Paradise (Dark Purple)] at 80,000 Paradise coins.

The third item is [Mithril Holy Ring (Purple)]. For a novice, this is a ’small divine artifact,’ with the downside of a relatively short lifespan, so Su Xiao priced it at 50,000 Paradise coins.

As for the last item, [Mikasa’s Mind +5 (Blue)], this piece of equipment made Su Xiao a bit troubled. Undoubtedly, this equipment is very strong.

Shelter (Active): Quickly creates an invisible shield to withstand attacks, with the shield’s durability equal to 80% of the holder’s maximum Life Value (Enhance +5 increases by 10%), lasting 30 seconds (Enhance +5 increases duration by 20 seconds).

Note: Activating the shield consumes 10% mana value.

Note: The shield’s cooldown time is 10 hours. (Enhance +5 reduces by 14 hours)

...

Shelter was once Su Xiao’s trump card. After using the energy shield, Shelter’s shield seemed redundant. Now Su Xiao has 1,583 mana value, 10% equals 158 mana value (rounded from 0.3).

With that 158 mana value, Su Xiao would rather use it to generate an energy shield, rather than activate Shelter’s shield.

The strength between the two varies by a great margin, and the duration is worlds apart. The energy shield starts dissipating after ten minutes, reducing in defensive power, and fully dissipates after about 20 minutes.

Whereas Shelter’s shield lasts only 30 seconds and has a 10-hour cooldown, the energy shield has no cooldown time.

More importantly, Shelter’s shield has an unfolding process, while the energy shield forms instantly.

Thus, Shelter’s shield is incomparable to the Blue Steel Shadow Energy Shield, making this equipment less significant to Su Xiao.

But one thing cannot be overlooked - Mikasa’s Mind is strong, and not everyone has a Blue Steel Shadow Energy Shield.

After some deliberation, Su Xiao priced Mikasa’s Mind at 70,000 Paradise coins. For Blue Quality equipment, this price is a sky-high figure.

Chakra Training Method (Beginner): 200,000 Paradise coins.

Snuggle Paradise (Dark Purple): 80,000 Paradise coins.

Mithril Holy Ring (Purple): 50,000 Paradise coins.

Mikasa’s Mind +5 (Blue): 70,000 Paradise coins.

With the prices set, Su Xiao named the stall "Premium Stall" and opened it. It’s quite an appropriate name.

As soon as the stall opened, a passing worker stopped, glanced at the items in the stall, then looked at Su Xiao.

"Hey dude, will you sell this ring for 40,000?"

"No sale."

"Let’s negotiate..."

Just as the worker was about to haggle, Su Xiao spent 10 Paradise coins to block him.

These workers buy gear cheap and then resell at a higher price. Su Xiao will not be a sucker for them.

He can sell gear a bit cheaper to contractors using it for battle, but never at a low price to merchants.

As for the reason, Su Xiao isn’t sure; he just feels gear is meant for battle, not for being resold at a markup.

The worker muttered a few more words, seeing that Su Xiao had already blocked him.

"You’re something else."

The worker stomped and left, without a challenge or harsh words. He simply wanted a deal, not to offend anyone.

In Reincarnation Paradise, unless there’s a conflict of interest, no one will provoke another. Even large adventure groups won’t.

Survivors aren’t stupid; those who like to ’pretend to be stupid and play the fool’ were eliminated in the Trial World long ago. In Reincarnation Paradise, the motto is: ’Don’t mess with me, and nothing happens. If you do, you’re dead.’ It’s that simple and direct, and Su Xiao has never met any contractor who likes to stir up trouble.

"Good stuff."

An old man squatted at the stall.

"This ring, make it cheaper."

The old man had white mustache and hair, a rosy complexion, looking at least over eighty, yet with no wrinkles on his skin.

"Fifty thousand, no bargaining."

"As expected, forget it, it’s a gift for my grandson’s birthday, no point in arguing."

The old man straightforwardly paid, and the Mithril Holy Ring (Purple) vanished from the stall, with 50,000 Paradise coins credited.

Watching the old man leave, Su Xiao was surprised. The other said it was a gift for his grandson, which is extremely rare for both grandfather and grandson to be in Reincarnation Paradise.

Five minutes after the stall opened, more and more contractors gathered around. Both the Chakra Training Method and the other two items were extremely valuable.

Threatening messages appeared. These messages seem silly, but if a newcomer retaliates in anger, it could lead to endless trouble or even death.

There are contractors known as ’Hunters.’ If they get the victim’s number, those hunters can hunt their prey to the ends of the earth, until every Paradise coin and piece of gear is drained from the victim.

Again, conflicts arise from interest.
