Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 456 Skull Smashing
Being taller is usually a good thing for most people, but it is not the case for Xu Yue, who is already 1.9 meters tall.

Everything is excessive or insufficient. A body size that is too large beyond the norm will inevitably make him gradually disconnected from human society. No matter which world he is in, the fate of aliens is mostly not very good. Either he is forced to live in seclusion, or he gradually becomes the target of public criticism.

The saying "a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" is not just an empty saying. Although he is not afraid of the so-called wind and rain, he does not want to create unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, when his physical strength attribute broke through 20 points, he decisively gave up one of the additional characteristics called "giant size". No matter what his inner qualities were, it was necessary to at least retain a normal human body shape in terms of external appearance.

But now it seems that even without this characteristic, as his Jiuli bloodline improves, his body size may still continue to grow, but the rate of growth will slow down a little.

【Wenyang Stone Bed＋7】

Equipment effect: Warming Yang, can transform the power of the sun into warming Yang power that nourishes the blood and body, and can subtly stimulate blood activity...

His eyes swept over the equipment effect of the Wen Yang Stone Bed not far away. If things went as expected, the sudden increase in height should be related to the other party. It seems that the blood-nourishing effect of the stone bed is more significant than he expected.

My mind unconsciously recalled the battlefield I saw when my profession awakened. The sizes of the Jiuli soldiers were more exaggerated than each other. There were giants tens or hundreds of meters tall everywhere. There were even many Jiuli warriors who were thousands of meters tall galloping and fighting on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue's face darkened. Although the increase brought by the huge size is powerful, there are also many disadvantages.

Let alone hundreds of meters, even if his normal body size only expanded to a few meters, the real world would basically be isolated from him.

Even in the derivative world, his body shape that is very different from that of ordinary people will always cause him great trouble.

Imagining himself arriving in the world in giant form and countless beings swarming in to hunt the giant, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly forced the picture out of his mind.

Regardless of whether he will really grow into a giant in the future, even if that day really comes, he can search for some skills or props in the park that can shrink and disguise his body size.

Not to mention the distant past, just the infinite characteristics of the Red Prison Armor, its full name is infinite size.

Although the current 'Wulian' can only grow larger, as long as it is further improved, it will most likely be able to awaken the ability to shrink its body. By then, even if the disadvantages of the huge body cannot be completely eliminated, at least they will be reduced by half.

What's more, all of the above are just guesses after all. Although his current height of about two meters is a bit exaggerated, it is still far from deviating from the category of normal humans, so there is no need to worry too much.

Restraining the surging thoughts in his heart, Xu Yue once again looked at the tall and burly self in the mirror on the opposite side, but his eyelids drooped slightly, and a strong and oppressive feeling of looking down on everyone instantly came over him.

With a light sigh, he withdrew his gaze, casually took out a rather exaggerated set of clothes from the closet and put them on, then slowly walked towards the bedroom door.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Yue finished tidying up and swallowed the last bite of food. Although these fast foods purchased by Ah Fu were not as delicious as those in the Summer Season Restaurant, they were convenient and filling, and saved the two culinary black holes the trouble of cooking by themselves.

After eating and drinking, the first thing he did was to open the email function of Paradise to contact Su Xiao. He had previously promised the other party to complete the soul-fusion forging of the metal bone rod within three days, and now was the last day of the deadline.

'Xinhuo: Bubu's soul-melting equipment is ready, let's see if it meets the requirements'

【Skull Crusher】

Place of Origin: Samsara Paradise, Xinhuo
Quality: dark purple
Category: Blunt

Durability: 100/100
Attack: 73~108
Equipment requirements: Approval from the weapon soul
Equipment Effect 1: Stealth (Passive). The handle of the Skullcrusher is wrapped with specially treated Stealth Snake Skin. The equipment's breath-stealing effect is +4. When swung, it will automatically gather the surrounding wind and the sound of breaking through the air. It consumes 10 mana points to activate the special effect of the snake skin, causing the equipment to enter an invisible state.

Equipment Effect 2: Soul-shaking (passive). When the bone stick hits the back of the target's head, the giant monster soul inside the equipment will shake the target's soul on its own, causing it to fall into a state of unconsciousness for 1 to 3 seconds. This state can be stacked. The heavier the swing force, the weaker the target's resistance, and the stronger the soul-shaking effect.

Tip: This shock effect cannot be exempted by physical strength and willpower attributes, and is only determined by the soul strength comparison between the target and the weapon soul.

Equipment Effect 3: Skull Crusher (Active), consumes 100 mana points, can completely summon the Cyclops Soul in the equipment, providing a huge increase in the next attack of the bone club, giving it three additional attack effects: 'Great Force', 'Weak Point Break', and 'Dark Smash'.

Tip: 'Giant Strength': The strength of the next attack of this equipment should be determined mainly by the attribute of the weapon soul. (The current giant monster strength attribute is 70, and this attribute can be improved synchronously with the growth of the weapon soul.)
'Weak Point Break': The giant's one eye can provide a blessing for the equipment, ignoring 50% of the target's physical defense.

'Dark Crush': The next attack will cause 200% crush damage to the target.

Tip: The cooldown time for summoning a weapon soul is 24 hours. Devouring soul crystals and other substances can reduce some of the cooldown time.

Equipment Effect 4: Controlling Objects (Active). There are a large number of Controlling Objects inscriptions engraved inside and outside the equipment. The holder can control it with his mind by consuming mana.

Equipment Effect 5: Soul Fusion Equipment (Passive). This weapon has completed soul fusion and has a certain degree of life characteristics. By devouring a large amount of special energies such as biological brain marrow, giant souls, pure souls, etc., it can automatically repair its own damage and slowly increase the strength of the weapon until it completes its own quality transition.

Rating: 221 (Note: Dark purple equipment has a rating of 151 to 260.)
Introduction: Eat! Smash! Roar! I am the King of the Cyclops!

…………

On the other side, Su Xiao, who had received the email message, was in the lounge of the arena waiting for the competition match. As for why Xu Yue only notified Su Xiao when it was obviously Bubu's equipment, it was of course because the latter was the real sponsor who could pay.

After carefully reading the detailed description of the five equipment effects of 'Skull Crusher', Su Xiao's eyes flickered in the lounge. The bone stick with breath control, control, and burst after the soul fusion upgrade is quite comprehensive. Even among all the dark purple equipment, its quality is definitely at the top.

Especially the "skull-crushing" effect that can summon weapon souls for auxiliary blessing. Judging from the equipment introduction alone, even he would not be able to withstand this terrifying skull-crushing blow.

What's more crucial is that this "Skull Crusher" does not care about the attributes of the user itself. Its powerful lethality relies more on the giant monster soul inside the equipment. This can be said to be a natural fit for Bubu's situation.

Su Xiao was not unfamiliar with soul-fusion equipment, but it was not until this moment that he truly felt the horror of this type of equipment.

No wonder he could attract so much fame and popularity in Paradise City. Perhaps he also needed to get a piece of soul-fusion equipment that suited his combat system.

'Bai Ye: Very good, Bubu should be very satisfied, what is the specific reward? '

'The flame: two Apollos.'

“Two…”

Looking at the conditions stated in the email message, Su Xiao hesitated for two seconds, and finally agreed decisively.

Excluding the consumption of FA, the cost of two Apollos is only 16 Paradise Coins plus two Soul Crystals (small). Compared with the crushed skull, this price is definitely worth it.

'Bai Ye: OK, it will take time to make, I will give it to you within one day.'

"Xinhuo: Then go find Ah Fu to trade directly."

…………

In the Furnace Forge Shop, as a large number of equipment and props gradually filled up more than ten containers in the shop, the originally somewhat desolate furnace quickly returned to its former bustling state. Although the Soul Fusion Equipment is very famous, the fees are also very high, and the number of places released to the public in each world gap is extremely scarce.

Therefore, for most ordinary contractors, Soul Fusion Forging is just a signboard that is out of reach, while those equipment items covering various qualities are the ones they can actually purchase.

Especially the enchantment scrolls and the special arrow series, as consumables that need to be constantly replenished, they attracted a large number of regular customers once they were put on display.

So when Xu Yue walked out of the secret door deep in the store, what he saw was a large number of customers coming and going. He even saw Xia, who was wearing a long dress, wandering around among the crowd.

Looking at Xia's figure from afar, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. With the other party's pitiful financial situation, how could he have the confidence to hang out in the furnace?
However, when his eyes swept across a cabinet in the store that contained several nutritional foods, the surprise in his eyes turned into understanding. After thinking about it, he walked towards the direction where Xia was.

Now that he had met him, he didn't mind saying hello to Xia and encouraging this new furnace supplier.

…………

In the center of the store, compared to the various containers scattered around, the crystal cabinet in the center of the store is always the most eye-catching.

Every customer who comes to the furnace will often stop around this square cabinet for a while, Xia is one of them.

Looking at the dark purple soul-melting spear with detailed information displayed in the cabinet, even though he was as poor as Xia, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of fascination and desire at this moment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

In addition to its rare growth potential and powerful weapon soul blessing, the advantages of soul-fusion equipment also include another particularly significant feature.

That is, compared to other high-quality equipment that have attribute requirements of dozens of points, soul-fusion equipment can be easily controlled after being recognized by the weapon soul.

In other words, even if a new contractor or employee has all attributes no more than 10 points, as long as he can get a soul-fusion equipment, his combat effectiveness will skyrocket.

Although this operation has a slight possibility of triggering a backlash from the weapon soul, it is still the only option for turning things around.

Even though Xia knew nothing about spearmanship, as long as she could obtain the soul-melting spear in the closet, she wouldn't be able to dominate the derivative world, but at least she could beat the damn Husky that kept hitting her with a club in the arena!

"Why, you want to buy it?"

A familiar low inquiring voice suddenly came from behind. Xia, who was imagining herself beating a husky with a spear in her mind, nodded repeatedly, but she quickly reacted and turned around to look behind her.

Turning her sight, the first thing that caught her eye was a thick black 'wall of flesh'. A silent feeling of oppression instantly hit her in the face, until she hurriedly took two steps back and looked up, she could see the entire appearance of the person who had spoken.

With Xu Yue's current stature of two meters tall, Xia could only reach his chest at best when looking straight ahead. Only by looking up could she barely meet his eyes.

Xia paused in her retreat and pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly. After taking a deep breath, she finally calmed down the panic that had inexplicably arisen in her heart.

"Of course I want to buy it, but I can only think about it. This Soul-Melting Spear must cost at least 200,000 Paradise Coins. Even if I sell my shop and myself, it probably won't be worth that much, so I can only think about it. I heard from Ah Fu that you have been secluded in forging these two days. Have you finished it?"

"Ah."

Nodding faintly, Xu Yue calmly glanced at Xia's dark and thick head. It was okay when he was only 1.9 meters tall before, but now, after looking down at him from a close distance, he always felt that the other party was like a large carrot that could be pulled up at will.

"There's no need to belittle yourself. The earning power of high-level secondary occupations is definitely better than you think. This is true for my blacksmith profession and your cook profession as well."

As he spoke, Xu Yue glanced at the supplementary food container not far away. Now there were only a few goods left in the container.

He is well versed in Xia's cooking skills. Although he will not take any profit from the sale of these foods, the traffic driven by them is real.

"It seems that the beneficial dishes you made are quite popular. As long as the quality can be continuously improved, it is only a matter of time for you to earn two hundred thousand."

"Tsk, I don't buy into this empty promise."

With a sigh, Xia turned his head and looked towards the food cabinet. His eyes flickered, and then he continued:

"Before I was selected by the park, I also worked part-time. Your skill in painting cakes is far inferior to that of the boss I met before, but... thank you anyway."

After saying this, Xia retracted his gaze, raised his hand to rub his sore neck, and looked up at Xu Yue in front of him again.

"By the way, I remember you weren't this tall two days ago, and your skin color is this high. Hiss...how did you do it?!"

Facts have proved that no matter what kind of personality women have, most of them cannot escape the concern about becoming beautiful.

Noticing Xu Yue's skin as smooth as white jade, Xia's eyes sparkled and his tone became noticeably higher.

"You can get this skin color by burning all the epidermis, and then using Paradise's recovery function to make all the skin grow again. If you want to try it, I can help you for free."

"Uh, no need, no need, actually my skin color is not bad now, haha, see you later!"

Listening to Xu Yue's flat description, Xia unconsciously shrank his shoulders, and then after laughing dryly twice, he decisively turned around and ran away.

Behind him, Xu Yue glanced at the fair skin on his arms with a hint of disdain. Even though he had been roasted by the fire for two consecutive days, his skin color had only faded a little. It seemed that it would probably take more time to restore it to its previous bronze color.

He withdrew his gaze and ignored Xia who was walking away at the store door. Instead, he turned around and strode towards Ah Fu behind the counter.

On the other side, Ah Fu, who had already noticed the arrival of his master, quickly put down the account book in his hand and said respectfully, "Master."

"Well, the forged Soul Fusion equipment has been placed in the warehouse. Please notify those who have made reservations to come and trade as soon as possible."

"understand!"

"How many Paradise Coins are currently on the store's books?"

"More than 600,000 yuan, half of which is the final payment from the three national football brothers, and the rest..."

"I'll take half of it, and you can take the remaining 100,000 as funds for cultivating royal jelly. We'll talk about it after you use it up."

"receive."
