Chapter 1137 - 22: The Choice
Among the four options, the rewards for C and D are relatively safe choices. Su Xiao had received the Grandmaster’s Power before, and he had some guesses about it. As for option D, Su Xiao had seen this thing in the trading market.
The so-called "Forced Exemption Book" is to directly leave the Derivative World you are in, returning to Reincarnation Paradise, with no penalty and no reward for the main task. As a cost, all benefits obtained in that Derivative World, such as treasure chests, Paradise coins, etc., will be forcibly deducted.
Su Xiao doesn’t urgently need this thing. He still has one "Main Quest Failure Exemption" unused.
As for reward A, Su Xiao directly ruled it out. God knows what this weird thing could do. If he ate it and ended up like Maha, it would definitely be a huge loss.
Is immortality truly a good thing? At least for Su Xiao, immortality isn’t something enticing. Exploring endless worlds in a limited lifetime is the truly interesting thing.
Roaming through Reincarnation Paradise, you don’t need to worry about the issue of lifespan. Instead of worrying about the length of life, it’s better to consider how long one can survive in Reincarnation Paradise. As long as one can continue to live, with the body’s continuous strengthening, lifespan isn’t a concern.
Thinking this way, Su Xiao’s choice only remains between rewards B and C.
"Space-Time Coin," just the name sounds extraordinarily majestic and since it relates to space-time, its function must be significant.
Should he safely choose the "Scroll of Grandmaster’s Power (1/10)," or take the risk to choose the "Space-Time Coin"? It’s indeed a somewhat difficult choice problem.
The "Scroll of Grandmaster’s Power" reward has appeared for the second time, whereas Su Xiao has seen the "Space-Time Coin" for the first time, which means the latter’s appearance rate is likely much lower than the former.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao decided to take a risk and give it a try.
[You have obtained the Space-Time Coin.]
"Space-Time Coin"
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: Legendary Tier
Type: Rare artifact (can only be obtained in Level 25 and above Hidden Tasks)
Effect: Can enter any Trial World/War World/Original World.
Rating: 520 (Legendary item ratings range from 400 to 530 points)
Description: A coin containing the Power of Space-time.
Selling Price: ???
...
Seeing the attributes of the "Space-Time Coin," Su Xiao’s heart began to race. The attributes of this item reminded him of the Ring of the World Tree he obtained in Pirate World.
Undoubtedly, Su Xiao made the right gamble this time. Items with selling prices marked as ??? almost always signify extraordinarily high prices.
Under normal circumstances, selling equipment or items to Reincarnation Paradise results in very poor monetary returns. For example, selling the Legendary Gear "Wood Spirit" to Reincarnation Paradise only fetches 270,000 Paradise coins.
Enhancement +13, with three gemstones embedded, "Duke of Extinction," has a selling price of only 180,000 Paradise coins; it’s incredibly exploitative.
Selling these things to Reincarnation Paradise could be considered a total loss, except for one type of item — those with a selling price marked as ???.
Regarding whether to sell the "Space-Time Coin" to Reincarnation Paradise, we must see what the future holds, given its powerful function.
Su Xiao is not particularly interested in Trial Worlds or War Worlds as they are perilous, whereas the last type, Original Worlds, is different.
This kind of world isn’t within Reincarnation Paradise’s domain, belonging to ’wild Derivative Worlds,’ where no Contractor has ever been. Unknown equals danger but also equals greater opportunities.
Su Xiao doesn’t need to consider how to use the "Space-Time Coin" for now. Having completed the hidden task, it’s time to leave Kukuru Mountain.
Su Xiao looked towards Killua and Yaluga. Killua, being a very clever little brat, noticed Su Xiao looking at him and shielded Yaluga behind him.
"I previously mentioned, don’t stray two meters from A Mu."
"Sorry."
Cold sweat dripped down Killua’s forehead.
"Bu Bu, let’s go."
Su Xiao walked towards the east side of the rock face, followed closely by Bubu Wang.
"Wait."
Killua, slightly nervous, gazed at Su Xiao’s back.
"Can I... collect the relics of my great ancestor?"
Killua wanted to gather those black ashes, equating them to Maha’s ashes.
"No."
Without turning back, Su Xiao walked forward. Everything related to Maha must remain here, simply because it was part of their partnership discussed within the Stone Vine.
Killua glanced at the black ashes on the ground, staying silent, merely following closely behind A Mu.
Su Xiao began forcefully breaking through the east-side mountain wall. Compared to the hardness of Bayira vines, the rock’s hardness was nothing.
Now Su Xiao faced a choice: whether to kill Killua. As one of the protagonists of the Hunter World, killing him would certainly yield plenty of benefits.
However, Maha left a gift with Zeno — what exactly that gift is remains unknown for now. If Su Xiao chooses to kill Killua, given the Zoldyck family’s style, even if he exterminated the entire Zoldyck Clan, he would still never obtain that gift.
A treasure chest from the story’s protagonist and a gift from the strongest of the Zoldyck family — Su Xiao must choose between the two.
Three hours later.
Boom!
Fragments of stone splattered as a mountain wall on the outside of Kukuru Mountain shattered, revealing a dark cave entrance.
Su Xiao stepped out of the cave. Maha didn’t lie before his death; breaking through the east wall indeed allowed a safe exit from Kukuru Mountain. Along the way, Su Xiao saw over ten kinds of withered exotic plants — no wonder Maha didn’t enter Kukuru Mountain from here.
Just after breaking through the mountain wall, the urgent sound of breaking wind arrived — a few Zoldyck clan butlers.
Ten minutes later, Zeno, Silva, and Ilmi all arrived.
"Looks like the matter is resolved,"
Zeno remarked. Killua and Yaluga were being examined to ensure they hadn’t contracted anything unknown within Kukuru Mountain.
"It’s resolved. Maha died at the center. From now on, no one from the Zoldyck family is to enter the interior of Kukuru Mountain. Zeno, you’re now the... clan leader of the Zoldyck family. Yeah, I’m more accustomed to the term clan leader. These are a few words Maha asked me to pass on."
"Understood."
After learning that Maha died inside Kukuru Mountain, Zeno showed almost no emotional fluctuation.
"T3, M7, 785, 4."
Su Xiao uttered a secret code. Hearing it, Zeno was momentarily taken aback, but his expression soon returned to normal.
"As the head of the Zoldyck family, I hereby thank Mister Bai Ye."’
Zeno bowed to Su Xiao, and Silva, understanding the situation, also bowed to Su Xiao while the younger Ilmi et al. were left bewildered.
"Mister Bai Ye, please follow me."
After Su Xiao recited that code, Zeno’s attitude made a 360-degree change. It was likely something arranged by Maha during his lifetime.
