Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 858: Suppress

In the real world, Su Xiao's jewellery store.

The second-floor living room was dim, with the curtains tightly drawn.

Sitting on the floor, Su Xiao scanned his surroundings. This time, Bubu Wang didn't return with him to the real world; he was forcibly kept within the Reincarnation Paradise.

Sensing this situation, Su Xiao vaguely guessed the gist of the mission. Perhaps it was to kill those who violated the rules and stayed in the real world.

Thinking it over, Su Xiao felt that facing rule-breakers would be a complete defeat in his current state. If it was to "Break the Limits of the Body," it might involve some exercise. However, considering the usual style of the Reincarnation Paradise's missions, a relatively safe practice was unlikely.

Without external pressure, hoping to break his physical limits within a few days was a pipe dream. That would require years or even decades of training.

Su Xiao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within had vanished. Before, he could easily dismantle a Gundam model by hand, but now he needed tools like a wrench or a cutter.

He checked his current abilities:

Health Points: 100%.

Mana Points: 50 (3116, sealed).

Strength: 5 (76+3 equipment bonus, closed).

Agility: 5 (76+3 equipment bonus, closed).

Stamina: 5 (80, closed).

Intelligence: 5 (79, closed).

Charisma: 5 (6, closed).

Skill 1: Master of Swordsmanship Level 5.

Skill 2: Firearms Proficiency Level 5.

Skill 3: Insight Level 5.

Skill 4: Devil's Mark (completely sealed).

Skill 5: Aura Emission (filled).

Skill 6: Absolute Demon Physique (70% filled).

Skill 7: Spirit Shadow Physique (65% sealed).

Skill 8: Meditation of the Mind Level 4 (unsealed).

After checking his attributes, Su Xiao frowned. The suppression was more thorough than he had imagined, with some passive skills even wholly sealed.

Now, he could only rely on three skills for combat—Swordsmanship Mastery, Firearms Proficiency, and Insight. As for the other passive abilities, they were either fully sealed or more than 50% filled. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

However, Su Xiao's "Meditation of the Mind" had reached Level 4 compared to these. This wasn't enhanced through the Reincarnation Paradise but resulted from his daily meditation persistence.

[Hint: "Break the Limits of the Body" mission has been issued; hunters can check it themselves.]

Upon receiving the prompt, Su Xiao activated the Reincarnation Mark with his mind. Indeed, the previously darkened task list in the real world was now accessible. He opened the task list:

[Special Mission: Brave the Demon Cave]

Difficulty Level: Adaptive

Mission Summary: Located at 97°105' E, 19°27.3' N

Mission Information: This location harbours a significant number of abnormal individuals. Hunters must enter this location and stay at the designated spot for at least 30 minutes.

Mission Deadline: 5 natural days

Mission Reward: None

Mission Penalty: None

Hint: If the hunter completes the task but does not break the physical limit, the mission will reset and change the task type, extending the stay in the real world.

After reviewing the mission details, Su Xiao felt a bit puzzled. What were these abnormal individuals? Pacemakers? And from the Hint at the end of the task, the task content wasn't crucial; the key was breaking the physical limit, and this task was released for that purpose.

Putting aside how to break the limit, Su Xiao sensed maliciousness in this task. His combat ability could have been more vital with his current physical qualities. Even a first-tier Pactmaker could overpower him in attributes and skills.

However, in a battle with a first-tier Pactmaker, Su Xiao might still need to win despite the opponent's superior attributes and skills. The combat experience was entirely on a different level. Even if a tiger was restrained, it was not something a cat could provoke.

Su Xiao went to the shop's ground floor, turned on the computer, and wanted to confirm the mission's location.

After cross-referencing, Su Xiao found that the mission location was highly remote and uninhabited.

He began investigating information about this uninhabited area. The more he looked, the more off it seemed. This place he was heading to was hundreds of kilometres away from civilization, surrounded by vast forests, many of which had started to become desertified due to over-harvesting.

Not only that, there was also a natural wetland nearby, home to numerous wild animals. Seeing this terrain, Su Xiao suddenly remembered that he had been there. In this uninhabited area, there was a hazardous small town that couldn't be found on any map, where many poachers lurked.

If it were just that, the place wouldn't be too dangerous. However, this small town was located in a nook between the borders of three countries. Gazing at the other two countries, Su Xiao immediately associated it with drug lords.

"So, this ghostly place is why it felt familiar before."

After pinpointing the destination on the map, Su Xiao touched the left side of his neck. He had been there before and nearly lost his life after being shot on the left side of his neck.

Confirming the location of the destination, Su Xiao understood the degree of danger in this trip. Going there would be like a vacation if his attributes hadn't been suppressed. However, for someone with average features, losing their life there wouldn't be surprising.

Su Xiao stood up, walked to the utility room, and pulled out a sledgehammer before heading towards the basement.

The basement door wasn't locked. Following the stairs, Su Xiao entered the basement and turned on the lights.

A faint, musty odour wafted in; he hadn't cleaned this place in a long time. However, all the weapons, trophies, contraband, etc., he used as a killer were hidden here.

Clearing the clutter in the centre of the basement, Su Xiao took off his shirt, rotated his neck, and swung the sledgehammer.

Boom!

As the cement debris scattered, Ma Pangzi, who was in the neighbouring wreath and funeral store, trembled in fear and entered a saint-like state.

"This... this is bad."

Ma Pangzi's lover was wearing heavy makeup. She grabbed Ma Pangzi's ear; this woman in her thirties was dissatisfied. They say women in their thirties are like wolves, in their forties like tigers, and in their fifties can sit and suck up the earth. In the prime of her years, this woman wouldn't let Ma Pangzi off so quickly.

"Mistake, mistake. Let's stop here for today. You go home first."

"You..."

The fury in the woman's heart surged. Seeing that Ma Pangzi wasn't joking and had something serious going on, she reluctantly agreed to leave. Soon, the roar of an engine was heard from outside.

Bang, bang, bang...

The hammering sound came from the next room, and Ma Pangzi grimaced.

"What's Su Xiao up to? Is it enemies at the door?"

Shirtless, and covered in fat, Ma Pangzi gritted his teeth, retrieved a crossbow from under the bed, loaded it with a cocking tool, and held a stun baton in his other hand as he approached the back of the jewellery store through the rear door. Soon, he entered the small courtyard behind the store.

Click.

There was a crisp sound under Ma Pangzi's feet.

"What's this?"

"Don't move!"

A loud shout echoed, and Su Xiao dashed out of the store's back door. The alarm inside the store had gone off, indicating someone had entered the backyard, triggering the warning system.

"What's... happening?"

Ma Pangzi trusted Su Xiao, so he didn't move.

"It's okay. You just stepped on a landmine. Don't worry; this is an old-fashioned Pineapple-type mine."

Su Xiao squatted in front of Ma Pangzi, recalling the disarming method for this mine. It could have been more, but it was troublesome to disarm.

"Damn!"

Ma Pangzi's legs began to tremble. He couldn't believe he was witnessing this; was this a movie scene? Who would bury a mine in their backyard? Was it wartime?

However, Ma Pangzi needed to learn that Su Xiao was a hunter. Once his identity was exposed, planting a mine in the backyard was nothing for a Pacemaker.
