The blinding green light made Su Xiao instinctively close his eyes.
He had opened several green treasure chests before, but had never encountered such a situation.
The light faded away, and the already opened treasure chest dissipated into the air, leaving a heavy, smooth object in his hand.
A notification from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[You have obtained the ’Flame of the Lucky Goddess’.]

After examining the exquisite lighter in his hand, Su Xiao was taken aback.
He gently caressed the metallic shell of the lighter, which was engraved with a blue flame pattern.
Su Xiao’s hands trembled slightly; his ’chief-level’ wretched luck seemed to have found salvation.
Although lighting a cigarette with this lighter only increases Luck by 1 point, for him, it would double his Luck attribute.
Although unsure if the Luck attribute truly represents fortune, it was worth a try.
Like when he lights a cigarette with the ’Flame of Luck’ while opening a treasure chest, there might be unexpected rewards.
Judging by the high rating of 30, this equipment was extremely valuable.
Su Xiao chuckled lightly; he figured he had narrowly escaped great peril and was bound for good fortune.
Furthermore, he discovered a phenomenon while opening treasure chests: if a common item was obtained, the chest would open directly.
However, if a valuable item was found, the chest would emit a bright light.
Su Xiao temporarily named this phenomenon ’flash’; if a chest ’flashed’, he would strike it rich.
This was just with a green treasure chest; if a blue treasure chest flashed, it would definitely yield something worth tens of thousands of Paradise coins.
But triggering a flash was not an easy feat.
Since entering Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao had opened many treasure chests, and only once had a ’flash’. The odds for a ’flash’ were clearly low, even minuscule.
In fact, this ’flash’ was not purely by chance. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
After entering the ghoul world, Su Xiao had killed hundreds of ghouls, all with his own hands.
From all those ghouls, only a few treasure chests were found, and the loot from those chests was quite pitiful.
Su Xiao’s chance for a ’flash’ seemed to be pent up, or Reincarnation Paradise couldn’t bear to see his ’chief’s’ bad luck and let him have a break.
However, with the ’Flame of the Goddess’ lighter, his odds of getting good items from treasure chests might significantly increase.
It’s not just for opening treasure chests; in situations requiring gambling on luck, he could also use the ’Flame of the Goddess’.
The only drawback of the ’Flame of the Goddess’ is its cooldown time of 10 days.
As for the consumption of 500 Paradise coins to use the ’Flame of the Goddess’, Su Xiao ignored it entirely.
The potential rewards could far exceed the costs, making the 500 Paradise coins just a cost.
It’s quite normal for such an ability to cost 500 Paradise coins per use.
Su Xiao carefully stored away the ’Flame of the Goddess’; it would definitely have significant use in the future.
Lying on the bed, Su Xiao began to summarize the gains and losses from battling the three Contractors.
The most obvious gain was the ’Scarlet Card’, which could randomly select three items or pieces of equipment from the Queen.
However, having just experienced a ’flash’, his luck was severely depleted, so he decided not to open it for now.
The Queen was a Physical Talent user; even if he obtained her equipment, it would not greatly enhance his combat strength.
Secondly, after killing the three, his Soul Devourer did not activate, leading him to initially believe that the Soul Devourer could not obtain mana from Contractors.
He later discovered that after clearing ghouls from the auction house, his Soul Eater Talent had increased his Mana Value by 100 points, which was the extreme value for this Derivative World, bringing his Mana Value to 253 points.
This battle revealed to Su Xiao that, although Reincarnation Paradise is semi-data-based.
The combat here is a scene of blood and flesh, and skills are merely supportive in battle; combat strength still depends on personal performance.
It’s like giving a housewife a nuclear bomb, the most likely outcome is that the nuclear bomb becomes a pile of scrap metal, only to be admired.
No matter how outlandish the skills, if one is not inherently strong, they cannot unleash potent combat strength.
The Queen, Black and White, and Yezi each possessed powerful skills. Compared to them, Su Xiao’s skills, apart from ’Blue Steel Shadow’ and ’Sword Technique’, were completely insufficient.
However, during the entire battle, aside from the Queen desperately hugging Su Xiao to take a bullet, he utterly dominated the Queen.
The Queen’s sharp shield skills posed no significant threat to Su Xiao, who toyed with her and ultimately turned her into a hostage before killing her.
There are no useless skills or professions; the strength of abilities still depends on the user.
The strongest feature of Su Xiao was not the profession he inherited, but his willingness to fight and his lack of fear of death.
These things sound simple, but in intense battles, how many can be completely fearless?
However, in Reincarnation Paradise, something stands above equipment or skills, which are various body attributes!
After the Queen’s Physical attributes reached 24 points, she could use physical defense to withstand his cleave.
If Su Xiao’s Power, Agility, and Intelligence were to exceed 20, what changes would occur?
It’s undeniable that high attributes, paired with his sword technique, would undoubtedly be a terrifying combination.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and lay quietly on the bed.
Unintentionally, he recalled something.
Previously, Yezi had used a ’Slaughter’ skill on him; the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise indicated that he was about to be ’slaughtered’. However, at the last moment, he seemed to hear that some kind of ability prevented such slaughter and saved his life.
Su Xiao used his intention to communicate with the branding, selecting the skill options to examine his various skills.
’Blue Steel Shadow’ and ’Swordsmanship Focus’ showed no change, but there was an additional line of text below ’Absolute Demon Physique’.
Absolute Demon Physique: Lv.MAX.
Skill Effect: Unable to master/learn any magic type skills.
Note: The Absolute Demon Physique has been activated by mana invasion; possible to view skill changes.
Su Xiao chose to view; the skill description of Absolute Demon Physique showed changes.
Absolute Demon Physique: Lv.MAX.
Skill Effect: Unable to master/learn any magic type skills.
Passive Ability: (Demonic Extermination), immune to 40% magic damage.
Note: This passive ability has a very high priority and can be immune to true magic damage, holy magic damage, and slaying-type magic damage.

Su Xiao closed the skill panel and exhaled a long breath. He finally understood why his profession was called Shadow of Annihilation Law.
