Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 148 Main Quest 3

The night was dark and the wind was high.

When night falls, the people living in the capital stay quietly at home, oblivious to all the noises outside.

It's not that people at the bottom of society don't like nightlife; on the contrary, after a long day, the entertainment and release of energy at night is a kind of mental comfort for them.

However, the night is the peak time for the Eight Fingers' activity. As the kingdom's largest underground force, the lower classes are the group that has the most contact with the Eight Fingers. Various incidents of burning, killing, looting, murder, arson, and even the abduction of young women in the street are endless.

During the day it's alright, you can be more restrained when facing the officers and soldiers, but at night, if you get arrested, you can only blame your bad luck.

The consequences of being abducted can be foreseen from past cases: one will either become a slave or a sex slave, and once they are worn out, they will be dumped in a desolate place.

Therefore, no one dares to gamble that they won't encounter an eight-fingered thug, and no one would joke about their own life. Otherwise, they might be the next missing person to be discussed by their neighbors.

Living in such an environment, discussing missing persons during the day has long been a topic of conversation among the lower classes, serving as a constant reminder to themselves.

Although Eight Fingers had become so arrogant, no one dared to report him to the authorities or send a letter to any important figure. After all, past cases had shown everyone that Eight Fingers had connections with those powerful and influential people.

As a result, people at the bottom of society can only silently endure it and be extremely careful.

In a corner of an alley in the capital.

Tap tap tap —

A terrified young girl was running frantically through the alley, glancing back every now and then as if a ferocious beast was chasing her.

In fact, in her eyes, the people chasing her were more terrifying than wild beasts. The thought of being captured by the members of the Eight Fingers and becoming a sex slave brought tears to the girl's eyes.

She regretted not listening to her parents and going home earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have been targeted by Eight Fingers.

However, since things had come to this, she could only run frantically with her head down. The crowd chasing closely behind her would occasionally let out excited shouts like hunters, each one adding to her fear.

Soon, the girl staggered into an alley, but after running only a few steps, she saw a dead end at the end of her road. At that moment, the despair in her eyes almost overflowed.

The girl turned around shakily, but it was too late for her to find another way. From the mocking laughter, she knew that the road was blocked and she was a lamb to the slaughter.

Soon, a series of dark figures emerged from the side of the intersection and slowly walked towards the girl.

"This guy can run pretty fast, now he can't escape, hehe————."

"

"Boss, why don't we let the brothers have a taste right here?"

"Try my ass! If anyone's going to get a taste, it'll be those big shots, not us."

"Yes, yes————."

Hearing their conversation, the girl slumped to the ground in despair, pleading in a tearful voice, "Please, please let me go! I can give you money; I have one silver coin on me, I'll give it all to you."

.

The girl hurriedly pulled out what she thought was a lot of silver coins from her pocket and presented them with both hands.

shoot----.

"This little bit of money is barely enough to feed a beggar."

The leader was a man with a pointed face and monkey-like features. He slapped the coin out of the girl's hand, his tone full of disdain, saying that a silver coin wasn't even enough for him to have a meal.

"I... I can go home and get it; I have money at home."

The girl's eyes were already wet, and tears dripped down her cheeks.

However, the man impatiently ordered, "Tie him up and get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his underlings stepped forward. One of them, a burly man, seemed annoyed by the crying and violent struggle, and slapped the girl so hard that she fell silent and almost passed out.

In a daze, she heard a series of muffled thuds, and then the sound of people falling to the ground with a "thump, thump".

As she gradually regained consciousness, a dead face with blood flowing from all seven orifices was only twenty centimeters away from her.

"ah!!"

The girl was terrified when she opened her eyes to this scene. After getting up from the ground, she was shocked to find a large number of Eight Fingers members lying on the ground. They were all dead, bleeding from their seven orifices.

After a moment of terror, the girl suddenly realized she was safe. With a lingering sense of relief, she quickly got up and ran towards her home.

She didn't care about the deaths of these eight-fingered people; all she knew was that she was safe.

The bizarre deaths of the Eight Fingers members were not limited to this one instance.

At this moment, regardless of whether it was within the capital or in the villages surrounding it, all members of the Eight Fingers simultaneously experienced muffled thuds from their bodies. Before they could even let out a scream, they bled from all seven orifices and died instantly.

This included six-armed men, department heads, the so-called Speaker of Parliament, and even a small number of noble members.

The number of people involved is as high as three thousand. The simultaneous deaths of these three thousand people may cause a huge uproar in the capital the next day.

Fang Yu didn't care about this and focused on the task he had just completed.

[The Hunter has completed the main quest (2): Annihilate the Eight Fingers. Rewards include 5 attribute points and 9000 Paradise Coins. The rewards have been sent to the Imprint Space. The Return Qualification quest is now available.]

Main Quest (3): Kill any level 100 NPC.

Difficulty level: LV9

Mission Briefing: The Great Tomb of Nazarick marks the beginning of a new cycle of reincarnation and possesses immense power capable of crushing any faction.

Mission Information: Kill any level 100 NPC by any means. Each level 100 NPC is one of the top combat forces in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, capable of easily destroying a nation.

Task duration: 5 calendar days.

Task Rewards: Returnee Qualification, 6 Attribute Points, 10000 Paradise Coins.

Task penalty: Forced execution.

Fang Yu was also greatly surprised by the difficulty of the task to qualify for the return.

It's important to know that, aside from the Ling Cage world being a Hunter qualification mission, the Bone King world was the second normal derivative world he experienced.

Normally, for an ordinary contractor to grow to the point where they can deal with a level 100 NPC, they would need to go through at least seven, eight, or even a dozen derivative worlds and reach more than 40 attribute points before they could possibly handle it.

-

Of course, this is just a possibility. After all, in terms of the luxury of their equipment and the level of their skills, those level 100 NPCs are definitely more extravagant than the contractors.

Some exceptionally capable contractors can accelerate this accumulation process, reaching over 40 attribute points across 4-7 derivative worlds.

Looking at myself, I've reached roughly this level after experiencing just one world, and I'm even capable of fighting and killing a level 100 NPC on my own.

This is thanks to the huge advantages of the two talents "Devour" and "Enlightenment", as well as the dozen or so attribute points added when changing to the Hidden Vanguard class, which has given him his current strength.
