Reincarnation Paradise - Chapter 938
Alice’s figure quickly disappeared as she entered the fourth floor.
On the third floor, Golden Glasses Man and the little detective leaned back on the sofa. For them, the pressure of the third game had been immense, as Alice’s doppelganger could have killed them at any moment during the night.
“The fourth game is a survival competition?” The boss of National Soccer looked serious, glancing at Second and Third of National Soccer. After a few seconds of silent communication, they simultaneously smiled, revealing a hint of slyness in their expressions.
“Finally, we’re in our element. Survival games are our forte.”
“Big brother, it’s time to unleash our ultimate moves.”
“Let’s go.”
The three brothers marched confidently toward the fourth floor, clearly relieved to leave behind the puzzle-solving games of the third floor.
“As long as it’s not another puzzle game,” Su Xiao murmured, rubbing his temples. He had lost many brain cells on the third floor, proving he wasn’t adept at puzzle games. If not for the obvious clues and Alice’s urgency to kill him, he might not have deduced who Alice was.
“I’m good at survival games too,” Pipa said, heading to the fourth floor. The little detective and Golden Glasses Man exchanged glances.
“Why don’t we team up?” the little detective suggested. Golden Glasses Man’s eyes flashed, though he felt an inexplicable sense of caution towards her.
“That suits me, but our combat abilities aren’t strong. We need to be cautious.”
“Yes, so I’ll rely on you, Brother Walsh.”
“I’d love to say you can count on me, but I don’t have that ability.”
They began discussing the details of their temporary alliance, even considering inviting Pipa to join.
Su Xiao had no interest in their alliance, suspecting they might scheme against him. If they tried, he would simply kill them. He stepped towards the fourth floor, confident in his ability to handle any threats.
As Su Xiao climbed the stone steps, the sensation of passing through a membrane returned. Behind him, Bubuwang sneezed.
“What’s wrong?”
“Woof.”
Bubuwang sniffed and shook its head, indicating it was fine.
Upon passing through the membrane, Su Xiao’s senses immediately changed. The scent of fresh soil after rain filled the air, and the atmosphere was noticeably fresher.
A gentle breeze brought a few leaves into the doorway, which eventually settled on the stone steps.
Seeing the green leaves and feeling the fresh air, Su Xiao had a rough guess about the fourth floor’s environment. If his guess was correct, the fourth floor was quite spacious.
Footsteps sounded behind him as the little detective and Golden Glasses Man approached, having decided to form a team.
Su Xiao continued forward, exiting the doorway to be greeted by blinding sunlight.
His pupils quickly adjusted, revealing a vast forest ahead. The trees were somewhat sparse, their leaves rustling in the wind. The grass on the ground was neatly trimmed, as if meticulously maintained.
Looking up, Su Xiao saw that the blinding sunlight wasn’t natural but came from a golden fireball in the sky—a man-made sun.
If not for the doorway behind him reminding Su Xiao he was still in the Devil’s Castle, he might have believed he had entered a large forest.
“Welcome to the fourth floor, the Forest of the Strong,” said the wolf butler, standing before an ancient tree. Nearby were Pipa and the three National Soccer brothers. Alice’s doppelganger was nowhere to be seen.
Not far from the wolf butler stood a small wooden house. In front of it was a stump where a demon servant sat, holding a wooden sculpture.
“Garu, garu…” The demon servant mumbled, eyes vacant as if fixated on the half-finished castle sculpture in his hands.
“Are those ‘guests’ released?” the wolf butler asked coldly, seeming hostile towards the demon servant.
“Garu~” The demon servant nodded, not looking up.
“Good. If those ‘guests’ don’t follow the rules, it’s your job to clean them up.”
“Garu.”
After receiving the demon servant’s reply, the wolf butler turned to Su Xiao and the others.
“Everyone, the game on the fourth floor is simple: survive in the Forest of the Strong for five days. The wooden house contains your supplies—food, water, and medicine in limited quantities.”
The wolf butler led them to the wooden house. Inside, Su Xiao found seven black leather backpacks. The wolf butler handed them out.
Su Xiao opened his bag to find a small wooden barrel holding about 1.2 litres of water, equivalent to a large soda bottle. Besides the water, the bag contained several chunks of dried meat and a small tin box.
Opening the tin box revealed a creamy white ointment. Judging by its scent and ingredients, it was an alchemical ointment for external injuries, effective on cuts and burns but not for restoring health, just treating wounds.
Food, water, and medicine—these were all the supplies in the bag.
Seeing these supplies, Su Xiao felt a mix of confusion and unease. He was familiar with this setup, so he instinctively checked his storage space.
It was functioning normally, much to his relief.
“These are the only supplies you can get without taking risks for the next five days. But merely surviving would be too boring for Queen Alice,” the wolf butler continued.
“The fourth game has seven participants, but only six can pass. This forest isn’t just home to you; it has many other creatures, both strong and weak. Killing these creatures earns you game points. When the five days are up, if there are still seven participants, the one with the lowest points will be eliminated. There are three ways to earn points:
- Kill creatures from various planets in the forest for 1-2 points each.
- Kill the ‘guests’ Alice recently captured. If they kill you, they gain freedom. Even if you don’t seek them out, they’ll come after you. Killing them earns 2-3 points each.
- Kill Alice’s doppelganger for 1000 points.
Additionally, you can eliminate each other. If any one of you dies, the remaining six will pass. However…
The player with the highest points can choose any treasure from the castle’s treasure vault. Alice’s collection includes 1,582,043 items.”
