CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 90: MECHANICAL STREET

Su Xiao dragged his weary body out of the Skill Upgrading Warehouse, feeling exhausted and ravenous after consecutively leveling up twice in Sword Technique Master.

[Sword Technique Master: LV.23. (Passive)]

Skill Effect: Enhances the attack power of knife-type weapons by 99%, significantly improving sword technique skills.

Level 10 Additional Ability

Rule of All Things (High-level): This ability cannot be enhanced in Reincarnation Paradise; it can only be realized through the personal understanding of the Hunter.

Level 20 Additional Ability

Blade Aura: Can conduct mid-range attacks, with sharpness corresponding to the sword skill level, no usage interval.

...

After some consumption, there are now only 126,900 Paradise coins left.

Paradise coins come slowly but are spent quickly. The more than 400,000 Paradise coins Su Xiao risked his life to earn in the Naruto World were reduced to just 126,900 in a few hours.

However, the Paradise coins were well spent. Su Xiao could clearly feel himself becoming stronger. If the Paradise coins are not converted into power, they are merely currency.

Reincarnation Paradise is different from the real world. Here, you cannot only have money; you must also have strength.

Most of what Su Xiao gained in the Naruto World has been digested, leaving only two things undone.

Previously, when he opened the Scarlet Card, he obtained an item named [Item Transformation Device].

[Item Transformation Device]

Origin: Second Tier Space Battlefield: Lie Kyama Star

Quality: Dark Purple

Type: Disposable Consumable

Effect: This item can fuse one piece of equipment with two materials to enhance the equipment’s quality; after fusion, the equipment category remains unchanged, but attributes will change significantly.

Tip: Can integrate equipment up to Purple level.

Tip: Can integrate materials up to Purple level.

Tip: To use this item, mechanical transformation skill must be Level 17 or above.

Rating: 150

Introduction: This is technology from Lie Kyama Star.

Price: 39,000 Paradise coins.

...

The purpose of this item is to synthesize equipment and materials to enhance the quality of the equipment.

Using Purple equipment for synthesis is the most cost-effective. Su Xiao is currently wearing four pieces of Purple equipment, which are:

Spider Queen (Purple)

Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor (Purple)

Tactical Boots (Purple)

Black Ebony Wood, Fake White Ivory (Purple)

Among these four pieces, the ones with synthesizing value are [Spider Queen] and [Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor], as the other two are either about to be replaced or their functions are not significant.

Both [Spider Queen] and [Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor] are very important to Su Xiao. [Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor] is functional, while [Spider Queen] compensates for his lack of long-range capabilities.

After weighing his options, Su Xiao decided to upgrade Spider Queen.

The reason is simple: if the characteristics of [Minotaur Lord’s Arm Armor] change, it would be essentially useless. The Boundary Line, which is attached, is the essence of this equipment.

Before mastering Firearms Proficiency Level 30, Su Xiao wouldn’t upgrade Spider Queen; he feared that a change in Spider Queen’s attributes would lose him long-range sniping ability.

Now, it’s different. Even without Spider Queen’s ability, he still has long-range sniping ability. It’s his own ability, unrelated to equipment.

The benefit of enhancing firearm abilities is seen here. Now it’s not what gun Su Xiao can use, but he’ll use whichever gun has stronger power.

Using the [Item Transformation Device] isn’t simple; he needs to find a Contractor with a mechanical transformation skill level of 17 or above.

"For such Contractors, I can only go there."

Su Xiao walked towards the southwest corner of Reincarnation Paradise. There are many zones within Reincarnation Paradise, each gathering different types of Contractors. Contractors in the same zone trade equipment, skills, and materials needed for themselves.

These zones are spontaneously formed among Contractors, not formal organizations.

...

Reincarnation Paradise, Mechanical District.

Su Xiao stood in front of Mechanical Street. A metal sign hanging in front of the street read:

’Divine Series Contractors, get as far away as you can. Here we only have wrenches and machines. No belief in gods! Don’t come preaching!!’

Su Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle. The Science Side does not care for the Divine Series. He’s not on the Science Side, so he doesn’t know the specific reason.

Entering Mechanical Street, it was filled with a sci-fi style. Contractors piloting several-meter-high mechas walked the streets, and some Contractors were transformed into semi-mechanical beings.

A burly man, nearly entirely transformed into a machine except for his head, was sitting on the street side, holding a cup of machine oil, sipping it with relish.

Upon seeing Su Xiao, the mechanical burly man raised his cup.

"Bai Ye, over here."

Su Xiao recognized this mechanical strongman, a fellow he met in the Arena. This guy was full of weapons and would self-destruct at the slightest disagreement.

His code name in Reincarnation Paradise is Machine Oil, due to his fondness for drinking it.

Su Xiao stepped forward and politely declined the special drink offered by Machine Oil.

"Did you find the person?"

"Found him, but that guy has a problematic mind; not easy to negotiate with."

Machine Oil burped, the crevices of his mechanical body glowing red, with the machinery inside running at high speed.

"I pay, he does the work; nothing difficult about negotiating."

"True, let’s go then."

"Wait a moment."

Su Xiao took out some scattered electronic parts, and Machine Oil frowned.

"What is this?"

"It was originally a tablet computer."

"What thing?"

Machine Oil looked at the pile of electronic parts, somewhat incredulous that this was originally a tablet computer, as if the pile of electronic parts had been stomped on several times before being forcibly disassembled.

"Ahem~"

Su Xiao awkwardly cleared his throat, explaining the previous situation to Machine Oil.

"Oh, Er Zhuzi shorted this thing, you want to recover the game progress inside, hold on, let me take a look."

Machine Oil attempted to assemble the tablet, and after a long time, the tablet was assembled.

"Can it be repaired?"

"This..."

Machine Oil looked troubled.

"Fixing the tablet’s issue isn’t hard, but the Yatson storage card inside has a problem. How did you dismantle it? Come, show me, I’m very curious."

Hearing Machine Oil’s words, Su Xiao waved his hand, not wanting to embarrass himself.

"Is there a way?"

"Of course, if I can’t even fix this thing, I shouldn’t bother with mechanics. If you hadn’t taken it apart on your own, I could have fixed it for free, but now you need a new Yatson storage card and data recovery. You buy the Yatson card, and I’ll handle the data recovery for free."

"Thank you."

Machine Oil’s personality was straightforward, similar to their combat style, which involved crazy bombardment.

Walking into the depths of Mechanical Street with Machine Oil, they turned several corners. The two entered a small alley.

In front of a shabby iron door, Machine Oil raised their fist as big as a sandbag, and pounded on the iron door.

Bang, bang, bang!

Su Xiao clearly saw a layer of rust fall off from the iron door.

"Who is it, knocking at noon?"

A lazy female voice came from inside the door, which opened, revealing a girl wearing a white shirt that hung down to her thighs, her fair legs were quite eye-catching.

This girl had fluffy blonde hair and dark circles under her eyes, as if she stayed up late often.

"Machine Oil, you bastard, looking for me in broad daylight, want to die, do you?"

"Tch, you didn’t modify the thing down there?"

"How could I? That’s a man’s symbol."

Machine Oil pushed past the girl and walked into the room.

"This is my friend, Bai Ye, looking for you to modify something."

"Yeah, they all call me Mechanical Girl, you can call me that too. But, Machine Oil, you actually have friends?"

Mechanical Girl yawned and turned to close the door. Her room was a bit messy, filled with various machinery, most notably a half-disassembled robot.

"Well~ sort of a friend, I met him after he chopped me into six pieces."

"Huh?"

Mechanical Girl was a bit dumbfounded.

"Don’t mind such trivial matters, Bai Ye, tell her your purpose."

Machine Oil raised his head, indicating it was fine to talk.

Su Xiao took out the Spider Queen Sniper Rifle and the Item Transformation Device, even before speaking, Mechanical Girl quickly stepped forward.

"A transformation device from Lie Kyama Star? Nice stuff."

"Using this to modify the sniper rifle, what materials are needed?"

Mechanical Girl picked up the Spider Queen and began studying its structure.

"Materials would be mostly metal types, don’t get your hopes up. Without high compatibility materials, it’s impossible to improve the quality of this gun, at most the basic attributes can be improved."

While speaking, Mechanical Girl yawned again.

"Is that so? Then how about replacing materials with Soul Crystals?"

"Of course, if you have Soul Crystals (Small) you can perfectly replace the requirements..."

Before Mechanical Girl finished speaking, Su Xiao took out two Soul Crystals (Medium).

These were leftover Soul Crystals (Medium) after the Survival Trial, three in total. In Naruto World, he acquired twenty Soul Crystals, so these three weren’t used.

"One for each material, is that alright?"

"If you don’t mind the cost, there’s no problem."

Mechanical Girl scratched her head, glancing at Su Xiao, her eyes clearly saying: ’Where did this tycoon come from?’

"Modification price."

"30,000, no bargaining, otherwise find someone else."

Earlier, Machine Oil had told Su Xiao that Mechanical Girl’s temper was peculiar, she only offered one price, if anyone haggled, she would show them the door.

"Fine, how many days to finish."

"Hmm~ let me think, according to your Contractors’ time schedule, after you return to the real world, you can come collect it before your next entry into a Derivative World, I’ll expedite it for you."

The price and timeframe were acceptable, and Su Xiao signed a temporary contract with Mechanical Girl.

"By the way, what’s your Strength and Constitution attributes, in case you can’t use it after the modification? You don’t have to say exactly, just if it’s above or below 50 points."

Su Xiao thought for a moment: "Above 50 points."

"Then there’s no problem, the next Derivative World, I’ll let you experience what violent aesthetics shooting is, one bang, and the enemy tattered~"

Mechanical Girl made an explosive gesture, her cheeks slightly red.
