[Personal information is for the convenience of the Hunter to estimate their own strength and is not related to actual combat power. The level of attributes affects the Hunter's physical quality, but combat is not solely determined by physical quality; Hunters should be cautious.]
After carefully reviewing his personal attributes a few times, Su Xiao memorized them.
His current level is LV.1, and the level's role is clear; it corresponds to his permissions in the 'Reincarnation Paradise'.
He has entered the world of One Piece, which has a difficulty level of LV.6, while he is only LV.1. This means he is in a very dangerous situation in the pirate world.
Under normal circumstances, 'Reincarnation Paradise' would not send a contractor to a world that is more than five levels higher. This is all related to his identity as a 'Hunter'.
Su Xiao still doesn’t know the benefits of being a 'Hunter', but the drawbacks are clear: danger.
Entering a LV.6 world and then taking on a LV.3 task while being only LV.1 makes this 'game' seem quite challenging.
Moreover, according to the introduction of 'Reincarnation Paradise', he will need to help clear out some 'abnormal' contractors in future worlds.
This basically means he is a natural enemy of most contractors. Even if Su Xiao agrees to complete tasks together, the other contractors will not.
Once his identity is discovered, they will all attack him.
Who can guarantee that his killing tasks don’t involve their numbers?
As for the protective measures stated at the top, Su Xiao doesn’t trust 'Reincarnation Paradise' much, let alone the protection it offers.
But there’s some good news; his attributes are better than average, which is the result of his hard training.
Although this level of physical quality doesn’t mean much in the pirate world, it gives him a higher starting point.
Su Xiao's strength is not just reflected in his attributes; he has a special skill: he knows how to fight and dares to fight.
He may not have the kind of wisdom that sees everything, but he has a heart that isn’t afraid of injury or death. It’s not that he isn’t scared at all; it’s just that compared to ordinary people, he has more courage and dares to do dangerous things.
This is his capital to survive in 'Reincarnation Paradise'.
Sometimes, a brave heart is far more important than a strong body.
“Now, let me see just how dangerous this pirate world really is.”
Su Xiao dashed forward a few steps, stepped on the edge of the window, jumped up, reached for the roof’s eaves, and then pulled himself up, poking his head through a hole in the ceiling.
Just as he was about to check the situation outside, a sharp sound rang out.
“Bang.”
It was a gunshot, a somewhat muffled gunshot. Su Xiao quickly made a judgment.
He pulled his body back against the wall, gripping the eaves tightly, and slowly poked his head out to see what was happening outside.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The sound of gunfire outside was continuous, and through his observation, it seemed to be two factions in a shootout at the 'Scrap Yard'.
Both sides had dozens of people engaged in a mid-range gunfight.
Su Xiao noticed that both sides wore tattered clothes and looked emaciated; they were likely all refugees from the 'Scrap Yard'.
“Toby, this territory is ours. What do you mean by this? We’re all poor 'scavengers'; do you really want to wipe us out?”
The gunfire quieted down a bit as both sides began to argue loudly.
“Your territory? I have over a dozen guns now; from now on, I say what goes here. Once I gather enough Berries, I’ll take my people out to sea, and then I’ll be a pirate.
Roger, put down your weapons; I’m giving you a chance to join me…”
Before Toby could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a gunshot, causing him to retreat behind a pile of garbage.
Inside the shabby house, Su Xiao could see the man speaking; he was a big guy with a thick beard, grinning maliciously from behind a heap of trash. It seemed he wasn’t interested in accepting the other side's surrender but wanted to eliminate them instead.
This Toby, the big bearded man, was different from the emaciated refugees; he was tall and muscular.
Su Xiao sighed inwardly; he finally understood how dangerous a LV.6 world could be.
If he had recklessly gone out earlier, he would have been shot to pieces, and this was just the beginning; things would likely get even more dangerous.
As Su Xiao waited for the two groups to disperse, a nimble figure suddenly jumped into the room from the roof.
“Whew, that was close. I finally found a safe…”
The newcomer stopped mid-sentence when they saw Su Xiao clinging to the wall.
“That….”
Just as the person was about to speak, Su Xiao had already released his grip on the eaves and dropped down.
Upon landing, Su Xiao crouched low, pushing off the ground, sending a few dry leaves flying as he pounced towards the newcomer like a nimble leopard.
The newcomer was about to explain something, but it was too late.
Su Xiao first punched the person in the stomach; he could clearly feel the punch making their abdomen cave in.
The newcomer bent over in pain, about to scream, but Su Xiao's hand was already covering their mouth and nose, muffling the sound to a low grunt.
That wasn’t all; with one hand covering their mouth, he extended his other hand flat, fingers like a blade, and sharply jabbed at the newcomer’s chest.
“Thud.” A unique muffled sound came from the heavy impact on the chest.
Su Xiao could feel the person’s body go limp, panic in their eyes as they slumped down, only able to let out a soft whimper.
“A woman?”
He did this because he couldn’t determine if the person was friend or foe; it was better to subdue them first.
“No, please don’t hurt me.”
A delicate voice, like a mosquito, came through. Su Xiao looked the newcomer up and down.
Her black hair was messy, her face covered in dust, but the cheeks not covered were very pale. Her loose linen clothes indicated that she was very thin and likely young.
“Who are you?”
Su Xiao could guess the newcomer’s purpose; she was probably looking for a place to hide.
“My name is Mia. I really mean no harm; please don’t hurt me.” Mia’s voice was very soft.
Having taken a hard hit to the chest, Mia was still conscious, which showed she had a strong constitution. In a short time, she wouldn’t be able to move freely.
“Don’t make a sound, or I’ll kill you.”
If it came to life-threatening danger, Su Xiao wouldn’t hesitate to kill; he had deep-seated grudges to settle.
“Gulp.”
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Mia swallowed hard.
“Okay, I just want to hide; I won’t make a sound.”
Mia suddenly felt that being with this man was no safer than being outside.
The gunfire outside gradually quieted down; the chaotic battle should be ending soon.
Su Xiao was waiting; once the fighting outside stopped, he would go out immediately. Although this was dangerous, it was also an opportunity; he really needed weapons.
Starting off empty-handed, Su Xiao didn’t even have a decent weapon nearby, not even a stick.
In the future, he would update twice a day, tentatively set for noon and six in the evening. Since this is a new book, I can’t do two updates in a row; that would be too taxing. New books really need good results, so I hope everyone understands.
(Ahem, well, I’ll try to avoid the random updates throughout the day, ahem, I’ll do my best.)
By the way, please support with recommendation votes and collections. This is really important for new books. As for monthly votes, I can’t ask for those in the short term, crying.
Please don’t use monthly votes to tease me~~~.
