A scroll appeared in Su Xiao's hand, shimmering with a faint golden light.
[Seal Scroll·Love's Black Mole]
Quality: Light Gold
Type: Seal Scroll (Contains the Seal of Love's Black Mole).
Effect: After using this scroll, the "Love's Black Mole" will appear at the current location, and the sealed scroll will be consumed.
Love's Black Mole (Passive Skill): After use, the Luck attribute will be permanently fixed between -1 and 1 point. When interacting with females, Charm attribute +20 points, and an added "Mind Hunt" effect will apply. This effect subjects females to a Will attribute judgment. If the female fails the Will judgment, she will madly fall in love with you.
Note: If the hunt fails, interactions with females will be judged based on the +20 Charm attribute effect.
Rating: 305 points.
Introduction: An extremely precious seal scroll can be opened.
...
Su Xiao looked at the scroll in his hand, feeling conflicted. This skill seemed quite terrible, as it would decrease his Luck attribute and only provide a Charm boost when interacting with females.
In certain derivative worlds with high-ranking yet weak-willed females, the Mind Hunt ability could be potent. For instance, in the Hunter world, Su Xiao previously participated in controlling a female executive within the V5 Department using the Mind Hunt ability could bring remarkable benefits.
However, the fact that it decreased his Luck attribute was something Su Xiao strongly resisted. His luck was already unpredictable, and after investing heavily to enhance his Destiny Redemption, he had managed to raise his Luck attribute to 2 points. Fixing his Luck attribute permanently between -1 and 1 points was unacceptable. It would mean he couldn't use the "God of Gamblers" state and that his Luck attribute would practically not increase anymore.
Increasing the Luck attribute was a difficult task in the Reincarnation Paradise, and any ability or equipment that decreased it was generally considered useless. While equipment could be stored away when not in use, skills, especially passive ones, were impossible to accept.
Frustrated, Su Xiao was about to discard the scroll when he unintentionally read the introduction. It described the scroll as "an extremely precious seal scroll that can be opened."
Su Xiao's interest was piqued. This description seemed odd. It should have described the "Love's Black Mole," but it talked about the scroll itself.
Upon closer examination, Su Xiao realised that the light gold quality assigned to the scroll was not for "Love's Black Mole" but for the scroll itself. In contrast to the "Skill Scroll" label on previously acquired scrolls, this one was labelled "Seal Scroll." "Love's Black Mole" was merely a sealed ability within the scroll.
Su Xiao tried various methods to open the seal in the centre of the scroll, but none worked. After multiple experiments, he found that injecting mana was the way to open the scroll.
After infusing more than 200 mana points, the seal scroll emitted a light.
[Open the seal scroll: Yes/No. If you open this scroll, the sealed ability "Love's Black Mole·Purple" will dissipate.]
"Open."
The black mole on the seal scroll gradually disappeared, and its attributes changed.
[Seal Scroll·None]
Quality: Light Gold
Type: Seal Scroll (No sealed ability).
Effect: Can seal one ability, which can be stolen from a corpse within 10 minutes of death. The enemy must be a living being (energy-based beings like Heroic Spirits cannot have their abilities stolen), and the corpse must be more than 60% intact.
Note: The highest level of sealed ability is dark purple grade.
Note: Sealing an ability requires 800 mana points + Soul Crystal (Medium) ×3 + 10,000 Paradise Coins.
Rating: 280 points.
Introduction: Extremely precious seal scroll, already opened.
...
Su Xiao no longer wanted to discard the scroll. It provided an opportunity to take enemy skills freely. By killing an enemy in battle, he could use the scroll to steal their abilities from their corpse.
Despite the limitations and the fact that the scroll would become damaged and ineffective after studying the sealed ability, its value was still considerable. Su Xiao decided to be more careful when examining item descriptions in the future. He nearly missed this light gold quality scroll, a lesson that appearances could be deceiving.
Satisfied, Su Xiao put away the scroll. Stealing skills from enemies required caution, as the cost was not insignificant.
After putting away the scroll, Su Xiao turned his attention to Matou Sakura. Although they hadn't spent much time together, he noticed that the young girl's mental state had changed considerably. She wasn't as innocent as before and had transitioned from a doll-like state to a more mature demeanour. Bobowang's charm attribute was undeniably formidable.
As Su Xiao gazed at her, Matou Sakura appeared visibly afraid and shrank timidly beside Bobowang.
"Do... do you want to drink? I'll give it to you, no bugs."
Once again, Matou Sakura handed over a yoghurt with three empty bottles already by her feet.
"No, thanks."
Su Xiao removed a set of unique tarot cards from his storage space. This item was used to test one's psychological state. He had studied psychology for a while, although he wasn't an expert.
Laying out a few unique tarot cards in front of Matou Sakura, the cards were: Death, Witch, Cat, Horse, and Chocolate.
"Choose one."
Holding the straw in her mouth, Matou Sakura decisively pointed to the Cat card.
Su Xiao put away the tarot cards after a few selections. Although he couldn't be sure if his judgment was accurate, he made a rough assessment of Matou Sakura's psychological state. She is in the early stages of recovering from "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." She was inclined to follow others' orders, displaying a lack of self-awareness.
With this understanding, Su Xiao put away the tarot cards. Matou Sakura's mental state was decent now, and she wouldn't resist joining him. If Matou Zouken were to die, Matou Sakura could take his place and allow Su Xiao to continue his stay in this derivative world.
However, Matou Zouken had exceptional survivability. Despite being shot by Di Lu Mu Duo in the chest, his injuries had primarily healed in just a couple of hours.
After spending a few hours in the abandoned warehouse, Su Xiao left the warehouse at exactly midnight with Bobowang. Matou Zouken and Matou Sakura followed closely behind.
Making their way to the outskirts of Fuyuki City, which was the original location of Ryuudou Temple, Su Xiao proceeded with great caution. The Eye of the Apostle hovered in the sky, scanning the area within half a kilometre for any signs of pursuit.
Confirming that no one was tailing them and after circling around the outskirts for a while, Su Xiao arrived at the original location of Ryuudou Temple. Before his eyes lay a desolate land, his second time here.
As he arrived, Su Xiao's upper body suddenly heated up. It was the Goat Demon Skin.
Taking out the Goat Demon Skin, the palm-sized skin levitated and began to burn on its own.
As the Goat Demon Skin burned, the surrounding air ignited with it. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't the air that was burning, but rather a layer of barrier.
As the unknown barrier burned away to create a large hole, the Goat Demon Skin turned to ashes, and the barrier started to mend itself slowly.
After hesitating momentarily, Su Xiao rushed into the barrier's gap. Following him was Bobowang, whose loyalty was so strong that it would follow him even if he jumped into a volcano.
Boom~
A loud rumble echoed, and Su Xiao felt like he entered a different dimension. Looking around, he found himself in a field of waist-high grass, with a faint view of a nearby temple—Ryuudou Temple.
[Warning: Hunter has entered the outer perimeter of Ryuudou Temple!]
[Warning: Hunter has entered the outer perimeter of Ryuudou Temple!]
[Warning: Hunter has entered the outer perimeter of Ryuudou Temple!]
Three warnings appeared, coloured dark red, outlined by what seemed like blood. It gave an eerie feeling.
