CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 84: RETURN

Although the attributes of a single Demon Hunting Suit piece are good, they are worlds apart from the complete set of three.

Seeing the set effects, even Su Xiao couldn’t help but feel his heart race. He finally understood why large adventure groups were scrambling for this item.

The set effects of the Demon Hunting Set can only be described as insanely powerful. Not to mention the high bonuses to strength, agility, and stamina, the mere 40% increase in close combat damage would drive any close combat fighter crazy, not to mention the additional 20% in maximum life value.

Attack power, speed, survival ability, the Demon Hunting Suit covers all three, living up to the name of the Close Combat Dream Set.

And these are just the first two set effects. The third set effect is unknown and requires all three pieces of the Demon Hunting Suit to be complete to see.

Based on the effects of the first two attributes, the third set attribute is definitely not weak, and is likely even stronger than the first two.

"Looks like I’ll need to keep an eye out for news about the Demon Hunting Suit in the future."

Su Xiao’s body gradually faded, and the sensation of teleportation appeared.

[Check found Hunter is in the large plot event ’Pain’s Village Attack’.]

[Returning will cause interruption in the large plot event.]

[Forced interruption has occurred.]

[Due to forced interruption of a large plot event, no rewards can be obtained.]

Nagato could not take the Nine-tails, Su Xiao knew this from the start.

Even if Nagato could defeat the Nine-tails, the ninjas of Konoha would swarm in. Even if they defeated the many Jonin of Konoha, Danzo would not let Pain take the Nine-tails, for he had also set his sights on the Nine-tails.

Thus, from the beginning, Su Xiao knew that the result of assaulting Konoha was destined for failure. His goal was merely to let Nagato level Konoha.

Completing the large plot event ’Pain’s Village Attack’ surely comes with amazing rewards, but with Su Xiao’s current strength, he definitely couldn’t achieve that, so he was not disappointed by the lack of rewards from the event. The acquisition of a Light Golden Treasure Chest was already an unexpected joy.

A familiar thud came, Su Xiao’s vision darkened, and when his consciousness returned, he was in his exclusive room, next to a Bu Bu Wang clutching its head.

[Teleportation complete, Hunter returning to exclusive room,]

[Exclusive room is an absolute safe point, no one can enter without the Hunter’s permission]

[Hunter has returned to Reincarnation Paradise, beginning settlement of Derivative World rewards.]

Derivative World: Naruto

Settlement complete, rewards have been automatically stored in the Hunter’s Brand.

...

Returning to the absolutely secure exclusive room, Su Xiao’s tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Green light dots appeared, the recovery function of Reincarnation Paradise activated, spending 1100 Paradise coins, Su Xiao’s wounds recovered.

He had stayed in the Naruto World for nearly two months, experiencing many battles during that time.

Unable to rest peacefully in the Derivative World, always on guard against potential dangers while resting, so as soon as he returned to his exclusive room, Su Xiao fell asleep, as did Bu Bu Wang.

Uncertain how long he slept, Su Xiao groggily got up, wobbled towards the bathroom, occasionally yawning.

After washing up, with water droplets still on his head, Su Xiao walked out of the bathroom, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Stop sleeping."

Su Xiao kicked Bu Bu Wang, but Bu Bu Wang had no reaction. Observing this, he dressed and walked out of the exclusive room alone.

Just as Su Xiao left, Bu Bu Wang, still asleep, twitched its furry ears, raised its head, and opened its eyes, glancing at the sofa in the exclusive room with a gaze that seemed to say: "I’ve been displeased with you for a long time, finally found the chance, Sun Thief, prepare to die!"

The door of the exclusive room suddenly opened, Su Xiao peeked back in, Bu Bu Wang was still lying on the carpet sleeping.

Nodded slightly, Su Xiao closed the door and left. After pretending to sleep for a while, Bu Bu Wang got up, slowly walked towards that 150 Paradise coin sofa. This was just a daily ’battle of wits and courage’ between the man and the dog.

...

In the Attribute Enhancement Hall, by paying 100 Paradise coins, Su Xiao obtained the right to use an Attribute Enhancement Cabin.

[Welcome to use the Attribute Enhancement Cabin, your unarmored attributes are as follows.]

Power: 50

Agility: 50

Stamina: 43

Intelligence: 50

Charm: 5

[Hunter can freely allocate 25 attribute points]

[Beep, detected that the Hunter’s main attributes are Power, Agility, Intelligence, please prioritize enhancing these three main attributes.]

Su Xiao showed a pondering expression. Since he had decided to develop four attributes simultaneously, the stamina attribute appeared somewhat low.

Previously, for the three main attributes to reach 50 points, the stamina attribute was only enhanced by 1 point. This time he planned to enhance the stamina attribute more.

The stamina attribute is closely related to resistance to blows, endurance, etc., Su Xiao had experienced the benefits of a high stamina attribute in the Naruto World.

After some consideration, Su Xiao’s distribution was: Power +5, Agility +5, Intelligence +5, Stamina +10.

[Attribute allocation completed, enhancement is starting.]

The Attribute Enhancement Cabin begins to operate. As this time, 10 points were added to the physical attributes, the pain during enhancement is not significant.

The enhancement quickly ends, and Su Xiao moves his body. Although his muscle lines aren’t obvious, there’s a terrifying power within.

Now, Su Xiao’s base attributes have become:

Power: 55

Agility: 55

Stamina: 53

Intelligence: 55

Charm: 5

...

Su Xiao raises an eyebrow as he takes a look, feeling that there are quite a few attributes with a value of 5.

That’s not the point. He gained a lot in the Naruto World, and transforming those resources into strength is going to take some time.

Feeling a bit hungry, he heads straight to Xia’s restaurant. Upon arriving at the restaurant, he finds the door tightly shut with a sign hanging at the entrance.

’Closed for a day.’

"Could it be closed down?"

Su Xiao seriously suspects that Xia’s restaurant has gone out of business due to poor sales.

"Don’t curse me; that’s yesterday’s sign."

Xia’s voice comes from behind. She’s in sportswear, looking somewhat dejected.

The shop door opens, and Su Xiao walks into the restaurant, casually finding a seat.

"What would you like to eat～"

Xia seems a bit down.

"Anything’s fine. You look a bit down."

Hearing Su Xiao, Xia sighs.

"I... went to the arena yesterday."

Xia looks a bit aggrieved.

"Twenty-seven losses in a row. Can you believe it? Why can’t I beat opponents with worse physical attributes than me?"

Su Xiao shakes his head; twenty-seven losses in a row is indeed impressive.

"Look here."

Su Xiao stretches his hand in front of Xia.

"What are you... Ah! What are you doing, you scared me."

Xia lets out a yelp because Su Xiao suddenly pinched her cheek, leaving Xia speechless.

Letting go of Xia’s soft cheek, Su Xiao said: "This isn’t an attribute issue. Do you rarely visit the Trial Field?"

"I... I’ve been there once. I’m very poor, so you know."

"Then you’ll have to keep getting beaten up in the arena. First, you need to get accustomed to fighting. Workers rarely enter the Derivative World, and even when they do, they seldom fight. You don’t know how to fight."

"Alright, thanks for the advice."

Xia heads to the back kitchen, gesturing with her hands as she goes.

Most workers don’t fight, and even if they enter a Derivative World, they spend Paradise coins to hire protection.

Su Xiao, however, is different. Combat is already part of his daily life; he’s long been used to fighting and getting injured. It’s as normal as eating and drinking water.

Shortly after, a spread of exquisite food is laid out in front of Su Xiao.

"Hey, although it’s a bit abrupt to ask, can you teach me how to fight? Like spar with me."

Su Xiao lifts his head, his mouth full of food.

"No."

"Eh, such a straightforward rejection, I’m really hurt."

"I have an instinct to kill my opponents, so sparring with me would give you psychological trauma. The arena suits you better. By the way, you can spar with Bubu. If it’s you, it’ll agree."

"Bubu? That Husky knows how to fight?"

Su Xiao smiles but doesn’t directly answer.

"You can give it a try, but it’s pretty lazy, so you’ll need to tempt it with food."

Bubu Wang usually roams around Reincarnation Paradise. Whether Xia can find Bubu Wang depends on her skills.

Su Xiao doesn’t know how to spar with others; his blade only knows how to kill, nothing more.

After the meal, Su Xiao returns to his private room and immediately sees the ’corpse’ on the sofa.

Bubu Wang is lying with its head raised, although it’s quite guilty, it doesn’t show fear.

"As expected, you lazy thing, pretending to sleep before."

Su Xiao kicks Bubu Wang lightly before sitting cross-legged on the bed. Bubu Wang happily trots out of the room, glad that Su Xiao didn’t hit it with a slipper since it was already prepared for a beating.

Before leaving, Su Xiao gave Bubu Wang 2000 Paradise coins. It’s Bubu Wang’s pocket money, and he told it to buy a pleasing-looking sofa.

In Su Xiao’s hand appear two treasure chests, one purple, one light gold. He’s never opened a light gold treasure chest before, so he can’t help but be a little excited.

This is Kakashi Hatake’s treasure chest, with extremely high gold content.
