Chapter 1533: Chapter 56: A Choice That Causes Dilemma

The detonation time for Apollo is still very long, but the upgraded Apollo increases its explosion range and power, expanding from 1000 meters to 2000 meters.

In the current situation, with 300,000 Paradise coins spent, Su Xiao seems to be at a significant loss, but from a long-term perspective, this is actually an investment, and he has already found a way to enhance Apollo.

Su Xiao is both extending the explosion range of Apollo and shortening the detonation time. Plus, there have been unexpected gains this time.

In this analysis of Apollo, Su Xiao discovered another method of detonation, which involves instantly piercing Apollo with spiritual power. In this way, Apollo will explode in a maximum of 1.5 seconds without decreasing power, but the range will be greatly reduced to about three hundred meters.

Sounds beautiful? Instant Explosive Apollo? To achieve the instant piercing of spiritual power into Apollo, Su Xiao must hold Apollo, otherwise it’s impossible to accomplish.

In other words, this technique can only be used for mutual destruction, with zero distance between him and the explosion of Apollo, and of course, Su Xiao will also die.

Researching explosives is like this; the resources invested in the early stages do not immediately show returns.

After storing the upgraded Apollo, Su Xiao left the exclusive room to start purchasing regular supplies with the remaining Paradise coins, and supplemented some bullets for Duke of Extinction and D·Assassin. Everything in the next world is unknown, so he needs to be thoroughly prepared.

Entering the Derivative World has the benefit of getting a general understanding of the world beforehand, while the Original world type is completely unknown and requires exploration step by step.

Once Su Xiao finished his purchases, his stay in Reincarnation Paradise was nearing its limit, and at this moment, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

[Honor Shop items have been refreshed, the Hunter can check personally.]

Upon receiving this prompt, Su Xiao rushed to the exclusive room, having successfully cleaned up the violator Death Omen, his authority at the Honor Shop had been upgraded. With this Honor Shop refresh, he could purchase items of a higher tier.

Soon, Su Xiao returned to the exclusive room, standing in a place considered a restricted zone to Bubu Wang and Bennie.

Bubu Wang had once tried to dismantle the Honor Shop in the exclusive room to deeply analyze its structure, with disastrous consequences imaginable. Encouraged by Bubu Wang, the curious Bennie also studied the Honor Shop, for the curiosity of the Meow Star People is just that strong.

The result was straightforward and harsh—Bennie was almost electrocuted by the punishment mechanism of the Honor Shop. Su Xiao didn’t even recognize Bennie then, thinking a giant hedgehog had entered the exclusive room, leading Bubu Wang to be scratched full of small claw marks.

[Welcome, Hunter, to use the Honor Shop, the Hunter must read the following regulations.]

1. Items in the Honor Shop can only be exchanged with the Honor Medal.

2. Items exchanged from the Honor Shop are locked and cannot be traded with other Contractors.

3. The Hunter is forbidden to mention the existence of the Honor Shop to anyone, otherwise will face mandatory execution by Reincarnation Paradise.

4. Items in the Honor Shop are limited and supplied in small quantities.

5. Once exchanged, items will not be refunded.

6. Most items in the Honor Shop come from the Void, Original world, War World, and others.

...

The Honor Shop added a prompt introducing the source of the items. Su Xiao used to wonder why the Honor Shop often sold things that seemed high-end but didn’t have strong effects for him.

Now it seems it’s not that the items in the Honor Shop are low-quality, but rather Su Xiao’s tier was previously low, and his vision limited.

[Since the Hunter holds only the Golden Honor Medals, the following exchanges are available,]

[Amount of Golden Honor Medals held: 11 pieces.]

Soul Crystal (Complete) ×1.

Price: 15 Golden Honor Medals, limited to one piece.

...

Honor Recovery Potion (Fifth Tier).

Effect: Restores 100% Life Value and 100% Mana Value instantly upon use, and forms a Basic Immortal Shield for 3 seconds.

Price: 13 Golden Honor Medals, limited to two bottles.

...

Ancient Clockwork

Effect: Allows mandatory return to Reincarnation Paradise upon use.

Price: 6 Golden Honor Medals.

...

Soul Lock Lamp

Effect: This is a special-grade equipment. When equipped, it collects the soul crystal shards of enemies after defeating them. When a certain number of soul crystal shards are collected, the user can synthesize them into Soul Crystals (small, medium, large), with the grade of Soul Crystals determined by the number of soul crystal shards. This equipment’s Durability cannot be repaired.

Price: 30 Golden Honor Medals, the item is highly valued and will lose exchange eligibility after the Honor Shop refreshes seven times.

...

Lainas Life Sustaining Device

Effect: Allows survival for 3 to 7 natural days in extremely harsh environments.

Price: 2 Golden Honor Medals.

...

Looking at the items in the Honor Shop, even with Su Xiao’s resolve, it’s hard not to be envious. The Soul Crystal (Complete) is high-level goods he’s never seen before, or even heard of.

As for the Fifth Tier Honor Potion, drinking this not only ’resurrects on the spot’ but also forms a Basic Invincible Shield lasting 3 seconds, an absolute life-saving divine artifact.

The [Ancient Clockwork] is also a good item which, when used, immediately returns one to Reincarnation Paradise, another crucial life-saving artifact in desperate situations.

As for the [Soul Lock Lamp], it’s even stronger to the extent of being abnormal. If Su Xiao possesses this equipment, he will be able to steadily produce the Soul Crystals he needs over time. After raising Sword Grandmaster above Level 10, each level requires 10 Soul Crystals (Large); however, given the powerful extent of Sword Grandmaster, that’s a relatively low cost to improve.

The only somewhat mediocre item is the [Lainas Life Sustaining Device], but it’s also a life-saving item in harsh environments; surviving is the hope.

This time, the items provided by the Honor Shop lean toward survival, which isn’t good news, essentially indicating that the violators Su Xiao encounters will become increasingly stronger.

Violators vary in strength, and so do Hunters; the stronger Su Xiao gets, the stronger the violators he will encounter, not the weaker they become. Those who survive to the Fourth Tier cannot possibly be weak.

A choice is presented to Su Xiao, whether to accumulate Golden Honor Medals to exchange for the [Soul Lock Lamp], or to exchange first for the life-saving item [Ancient Clockwork].

After killing Death Omen, Su Xiao obtained 10 Golden Honor Medals. If he encounters stronger opponents, the accumulation progress of Golden Honor Medals will only speed up.

After some consideration, Su Xiao exchanged 6 Golden Honor Medals for the [Ancient Clockwork]. If he can’t save his own life, then what talk is there of exchanging for the [Soul Lock Lamp]?

A clock-sized spring clock appeared in Su Xiao’s hand. Its second hand occasionally jumped a bit, looking like it could be discarded at any moment.

This seemingly ordinary spring clock, yet at a critical moment, can save Su Xiao’s life. After using this item, Su Xiao will directly return to Reincarnation Paradise. Such a powerful item should be more expensive, but it has a flaw: it cannot exempt the main quest punishment.

Su Xiao has one Main Quest Failure Exemption right; the combination of both is perfect, which is the main reason Su Xiao chose to exchange for the spring clock.
