Chapter 1422: Chapter 44: Firearms Specialization

Although the assistant’s behavior was somewhat rough, her well-proportioned physique from long-term training was unmatched by ordinary women. Moreover, the assistant had a unique temperament, and when she donned a black gauze dress and a gemstone pendant, it gave her a distinctive charm.

Su Xiao glanced up and down at the assistant. The attire was not an issue, but overall, it gave off a strange vibe.

"Take a few steps."

Hearing this, the assistant did her best to walk forward elegantly.

"It seems there’s no problem now."

"Really?"

The assistant was eager to take off the uncomfortable clothes she was wearing. The party didn’t start until eight in the evening, and it was just after four in the morning now.

"Once inside the venue, act freely, but don’t do anything to draw attention. If you notice any commotion backstage, immediately spray the compressed kerosene inside the venue, and then act according to the situation."

"Understood."

The assistant cheered and rushed into the bedroom. Moments later, she emerged dressed in loose clothing, wearing shorts and sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Su Xiao took out three 19.67mm Nano Core High-Speed Bullets, all of which were Thunder Attribute Elemental Bullets. These could maximize the penetration power of the Duke of Extinction, with the ideal assassination being a one-shot kill. Preparing three bullets was a precaution.

If Su Xiao failed to kill the target with the first shot, he would use the Duke of Extinction to instantly collapse the venue and then storm in to assassinate Du Bo · Yi Si. Of course, this was the backup plan.

There were still 16 hours left until the party started, and the energetic assistant was tossed into the bedroom by Su Xiao, who gave her an order to sleep and not get up before 6 PM.

While ignoring the bored assistant lying on the bed, Su Xiao sat at a wooden table and retrieved two treasure chests from storage space. Before assassinating Du Bo · Yi Si, he needed to enhance his combat power as much as possible.

There were two treasure chests: one obtained by killing an enemy officer in the fortress labeled as a Golden Quality Treasure Box, and the second was a reward from destroying the Saint Limen Fortress, labeled as [Gifts of War], of Legendary Quality.

Seeing Su Xiao place the two treasure chests on the table, Bubu Wang, who hadn’t seen a treasure chest in quite some time, eagerly ran up, filled with anticipation for what was about to unfold.

Su Xiao had previously acquired the ’Goddess’s Affection’ passive skill, which permanently increased his Luck Attribute by one point. Including the enhancement from the European King’s State, his Luck Attribute could temporarily reach seven points, an unprecedented situation indeed.

"Bubu, I’ve been turning my luck around recently."

Hearing Su Xiao’s words, Bubu Wang gazed up at the ceiling, implying: "Master, you said the same thing last time when you got only socks."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, exhaling pale gold smoke, feeling that the world around him had changed, boosting his confidence significantly.

[Do you want to open the treasure chest (Golden·War World Origin)?]

Su Xiao decisively chose to open it.

[You have opened the treasure chest from War World.]

[You obtained Soul Crystal (Large) ×1, this is a guaranteed reward.]

[You obtained 20,000 Paradise coins, this is a guaranteed reward.]

[You obtained Firearms Expertise (Skill Scroll).]

...

A scroll and a large Soul Crystal appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, and this unexpected harvest brought a smile to Su Xiao’s face. Indeed, the increase in Luck Attribute significantly improved his fortune.

Su Xiao stored the Firearms Expertise Scroll and the large Soul Crystal into storage space. He had another treasure chest to open, and that was the main event.

[Do you want to open ’Gifts of War’?]

Just as Su Xiao chose to open it, a roulette about the size of a washbasin appeared before him.

[Randomly drawing reward grade...]

The roulette had three areas: one was the largest, marked as ordinary rewards, including equipment, gemstones, and true attribute points.

The second area was relatively smaller, marked as rare rewards, with six types: Awakening Book (Second Time), Rare Bloodline/Profession, Black Abyss Invitation, Unstable Device, Grandmaster’s Power (2/10), and Roranyaite Radioactive Material.

Among the six rewards, the [Rare Bloodline/Profession] area was grayed out, indicating Su Xiao couldn’t select this option. Realizing this, he immediately thought of a certain possibility, which was confirmed upon seeing the third area’s rewards.

The third area of the roulette was the smallest, marked as exclusive rewards, with only two types: Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Incomplete and Sealing Box.

Seeing these two rewards, Su Xiao gained a new understanding of [Gifts of War]. Unlike ordinary treasure chests, the resources produced by ordinary treasure chests largely depend on luck as to whether they are suitable for Su Xiao.

Gifts of War, however, is different. For example, Su Xiao doesn’t need the ’Rare Bloodline/Profession’ reward, so it’s grayed out, meaning he won’t select this.

The roulette spun rapidly, and there was only one chance. Whether it was the Awakening Book (Second Time), Black Abyss Invitation, or Soul-Cutting Shadow Stone·Incomplete, any would have extraordinary meaning for Su Xiao.

As for the hardest to obtain Sealing Box, its purpose was unknown, and Su Xiao didn’t expect to draw this; as long as he didn’t draw an ordinary reward, he would accept any other reward.

The roulette gradually slowed, and Su Xiao focused intently on it.

"Woof!"

Bubu Wang suddenly barked, catching Su Xiao off guard as he intently watched the roulette.

Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang, who was sitting on the floor and rapidly scooting backward, implying: "Master, please let me explain. A mosquito just provoked me."

Just as Su Xiao was about to rise, a notification from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

[You have obtained a Black Abyss Invitation.]

[Black Abyss Invitation]

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise / Void / War World

Quality: Legendary Tier

Type: Invitation

Effect: This invitation allows entry into the shallowest layer of the Black Abyss, with a stay of 15 natural days.

Quota: 5

Rating: 530+

Description: Hunters should carefully consider before entering the Black Abyss, as it is one of the hazardous areas within the Void, recommended for Fifth Tier or higher contractors to enter as a team.

Price: Cannot be sold, can be destroyed.

...

A piece of pitch-black beast skin appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, approximately A4 paper size, with crooked text on it, and a blank area at the bottom.

To use this item, one must first cut their finger, then use blood to press a handprint on the blank area below. Including Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and A Mu, he could take two more people into the Black Abyss.

If Su Xiao truly intended to enter the Black Abyss, he certainly wouldn’t take others to create trouble. It would be at most a team consisting of one person, one dog, and one bull.

Black smoke drifted from the beast skin, forming tiny whirlpools that gave an ominous feeling. Even before entering the Black Abyss, Su Xiao already sensed its danger.

He did not intend to enter the Black Abyss shortly, as it was clearly stated that a team of Fifth Tier contractors was recommended to enter. Of course, it wasn’t that Fourth Tier contractors lacked qualification, but the place was relatively dangerous.

If five Fifth Tier contractors entered the shallowest layer of the Black Abyss, it would be for exploration. For Fourth Tier, it would be about survival, and for those below Fourth Tier, it would primarily come down to luck; lacking luck could lead to swift death.

Though Su Xiao is eager to explore the Black Abyss, he planned to gather resources across a few more worlds and definitely intended to ’admire’ the scenery of the Black Abyss before reaching the Fifth Tier.
