Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

After watching Yi Gu You Tai leave, Fang Yu's smile faded, he closed the door, and went to the bedroom.

The bedroom is fully furnished and seems to be cleaned daily; the cabinets, windows, and tatami mats are spotless.

After checking around and confirming there were no miniature cameras, Fang Yu first closed the ventilation window and drew the curtains to prevent outsiders from peeping, then sat down at his desk.

The seven scarlet cards were placed on the table one by one, and the red light emitted by the cards illuminated half of the room.

Fang Yu was quite confident about the lottery, since he had never lost at the gambling table before, unless the other side cheated.

The way to determine if the other party is cheating is to see if you lose. If you lose, then the other party is definitely cheating, and you should switch tables.

[Do/Do not use the Scarlet Card.]

Select the first card and confirm use. The "Crimson Card" will visibly melt into a pool of blood-red liquid, floating in mid-air.

Then the liquid suddenly began to spin rapidly, forming a vortex just the right size to fit a hand inside.

Considering that the Paradise would not persecute contractors without reason, Fang Yu raised his eyebrows, reached into the vortex, and after some searching, he actually touched some items. They were irregularly shaped, neither too big nor too small, and could be held in one hand, like a pile of crystals.

You have obtained 5 Small Soul Crystals.

You have obtained 2 Medium Soul Crystal.

"Wow."

Fang Yu was stunned. He really hadn't expected that he would grab a handful of soul crystals with a casual grab. These were rare resources. Why not use them to upgrade his skills and just put them in his storage space to look at? There really are people like that.

Fang Yu was thrilled to win a big prize on his first draw and quickly used the remaining two draws as well.

You have obtained the "Adventurer's Breastplate".

You have gained "Mountain Crushing Strike" (skill scroll).

……

The bountiful harvest of the first Crimson Card made Fang Yu suspect that he might have exhausted the wealth of the Crimson Card's owner. This harvest was not much different from the world settlement, to the point that he even had the idea of ​​wiping out all the contractors in this derivative world.

Of course, this idea is a bit unrealistic. Even if he is very strong, he still risks being overwhelmed when facing dozens or hundreds of contractors, unless he can win over all the highly skilled sorcerers to his side.

The lottery lasted for more than ten minutes. The rewards for each Scarlet Card varied, with some even winning a bottle of shampoo. Can you believe it? Fang Yu believes that the card owner was so poor that all they had left was their shampoo.

But overall, the results were quite good.

Synopsis: This is a masterpiece created by a wizard apprentice, who longs for his teacher's praise. One day, it disappears, and the apprentice is heartbroken.

……

This pendant is most useful to mages, mainly because of its first equipment effect, which increases their mana from 192 to 211 points. This is a significant boost for their limited mana.

The mana regeneration rate has also reached 12 points per hour.

The only use for the remaining equipment is to feed Blackblade.

After determining the categories of all items, he put the skill scrolls and soul crystals into his storage space, leaving only five pieces of equipment to be placed on his desk.

Clang...

After preparing, Fang Yu stood up and drew the black blade, admiring its dark, hole-like shape. He could feel that the blade was constantly hungry, yearning to grow.

As a growth weapon exclusively crafted for him by Paradise, Black Blade perfectly inherited the characteristics of his Devouring Talent.

It is believed that as it continues to grow, the devouring properties of this sword will be fully awakened, and at that time, it will not be impossible for it to devour the world with a single strike.

Of course, this is just hope; right now it's only green quality, which is very fragile.

The Black Blade's absorption process is not complicated. Simply hold the blade, touch the first green-quality equipment (boots) with the tip of the blade, and then the absorption begins.

The moment the boot touched the blade, it began to slowly merge into the blade, like sinking into a completely dark pool. In just over ten seconds, it was completely swallowed up.

Then came the second item, the third item, and so on, until the last blue-quality longsword. At that point, the sinking speed slowed down, and it took a full minute to be completely swallowed up.

As it devoured the five pieces of equipment, the Black Blade continuously emitted a deep green light, and its growth rate would fluctuate from time to time until it finally settled at 50%.

"not enough."

This situation was within Fang Yu's expectations, or rather, he didn't expect that the five pieces of equipment would allow the Black Blade to advance to blue quality. You should know that it took him 15 Soul Crystals (small) to advance from white quality to green quality, so it's already quite good that he can reach 50% now.

He didn't think he could only acquire these 5 pieces of equipment in this world. There were many other contractors, and killing story characters would also drop treasure chests. Opening those chests for equipment was a piece of cake, wasn't it?

Sheathing the black blade, Fang Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

Since the progress of the first main mission depends on Gojo Satoru's speed of action, he doesn't have a better solution at the moment, but he still needs to make plans for a backup plan as soon as possible.

If there's no progress on the main quest tomorrow, he'll have to find a way to do both quests simultaneously; he can't just get stuck on this one.
