Chapter 283: Chapter 15: Unlucky Contractor (4th Update, Extra Monthly Pass)
Su Xiao tightly gripped the hilt, using Dragon Slash to stir inside the chest cavity of the giant alligator, shredding its various organs.
The giant alligator, in pain, swung its bare tail towards Su Xiao.
Bang.
This tail struck Su Xiao’s waist, sending him flying sideways.
Su Xiao thudded to the ground in an oblique fall, vision blacking out, as a salty and sweet taste rushed to his throat.
"Cough～."
A large mouthful of blood was coughed out. Su Xiao, disregarding the piercing pain throughout his body, with pupils gleaming red, held Dragon Slash and charged forward, thrusting it into the giant alligator’s mouth, his entire arm submerged into its throat, and began a nauseating stir.
Su Xiao, holding the giant alligator’s head with one hand, stirred with a knife in the alligator’s chest cavity with the other. If anyone else were present, they would be scared half to death by his ferocity.
In battle, Su Xiao is a Desperadoes + fearless + every enemy must die!
The struggling diminished, and eventually, the giant alligator’s body went limp, its belly flattened.
[You have killed the Mutant Giant Alligator.]
Receiving this notification, Su Xiao released the giant alligator’s head and plopped down onto the ground.
Previously, Bubute Ni used the Loyal Guardian ability; otherwise, with that tail strike, he would have entered a brink of death state.
Loyal Guardian (Active): Bubute Ni consumes 50% Mana Value to restore 50% Life Value of the owner within three seconds, with a cooldown of 48 hours.
After sitting and catching his breath for a while, Su Xiao looked up at the giant alligator’s corpse, but no treasure chest or similar item appeared, yet its back was emanating a purple glow.
[This is a ’War World’ leader-level creature; please take the reward yourself, Hunter.]
This was the first time Su Xiao encountered such a situation. He walked to the giant alligator’s back, lightly touching it with his finger.
Su Xiao was stunned, eyes glowing with strange light.
"There’s... such a blessing."
Ignoring his bodily pain, Su Xiao used Dragon Slash to slice open the giant alligator’s back and began disassembling it.
Two minutes later, with his body covered in alligator blood, Su Xiao held a large chunk of alligator meat weighing at least twenty pounds.
This alligator meat had clear stripes and emitted a faint pink glow. Su Xiao checked its attributes.
[Mutated Giant Crocodile’s Prime Meat]
Quality: Purple
Type: Consumable.
Effect: After consuming this prime meat, stamina permanently +6, Life Value permanently increases by 100 points.

Note: Consuming this prime meat perfectly enhances without causing genetic side effects.

...
Looking at the large chunk of alligator meat in his hand, Su Xiao was somewhat stunned, happiness arriving too suddenly, more valuable than obtaining a piece of Purple Equipment with a 150 rating.
Not to mention the 6 points of physical attributes, just the 100 points of Life Value is drool-worthy.
Su Xiao’s attack ability is strong, but he has only 12 points of physical attributes without equipment, which means his resilience and endurance are not strong.
After thoroughly checking the properties of [Mutated Giant Crocodile’s Prime Meat] and confirming there were no issues, Su Xiao couldn’t help but smile.
With the battle over, Bubute Ni ran to Su Xiao, laying on the ground, indicating for Su Xiao to ride on its back, as Bu Bu realized Su Xiao was struggling to hold on.
Bubute Ni had a small saddle on its back, custom-made by Su Xiao in Reincarnation Paradise. It would be tiring to ride Bubute Ni’s back for long without it.
Su Xiao put the [Mutated Giant Crocodile’s Prime Meat] into storage space, mounted Bubute Ni’s back, needing to leave here quickly as the smell of blood was too strong.
Indicating for Bubute Ni to head to the giant alligator’s lair, the safest spot, for although the giant crocodile had been exterminated, its residual fear remained; other mutant beasts dared not come close easily.
Su Xiao was in poor condition. Although considerable Life Value had been restored, his injuries remained severe, and this life-and-death struggle with the giant alligator had drained much of his stamina.
Arriving near a semi-open cave, Su Xiao removed his blood-soaked clothes, returned them to storage space, and took out several large buckets of clean water to wash off the bloodstains.
While Su Xiao washed, Bubute Ni also joined in, washing the area around its lower back under the stream of clean water from Su Xiao.
Treating wounds, wrapping with medical bandages, Su Xiao changed into a new set of clothes.
The wounds were still faintly throbbing, but thankfully, with the Aura of the Ice and Snow Goddess, injuries were gradually recovering.
Su Xiao took out the [Mutated Giant Crocodile’s Prime Meat], how is this supposed to be eaten? Raw meat?
After consulting with Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao dismissed that barbaric idea, a little roasting would suffice, but no seasoning was allowed.
He set up a fire, and Su Xiao roasted the crocodile meat near the giant alligator’s nest.
The aroma of the meat wafted through the air, as Su Xiao cautiously observed his surroundings.
After roasting the giant alligator meat, Su Xiao erased his traces and headed towards the distant alligator nest with the roasted meat in hand, as the smell would soon attract mutant beasts, it was wise to leave.
Arriving at the alligator’s nest, Su Xiao leaned against the rock wall, cut off about five pounds of the roasted meat, eating just that would yield the best results, any more and he couldn’t eat it.
He tossed the remaining ten-plus pounds to Bubute Ni, unsure if it would enhance its attributes upon eating it.
The description said it was effective for the killer, and Bubute Ni, as his servant, played a role in the previous battle, so it should have an effect.
Su Xiao devoured the crocodile meat in large bites, it didn’t have much taste; the meat was too thick and not thoroughly roasted, but the texture was quite nice.
After devouring a large chunk of roasted meat, Su Xiao closed his eyes and leaned against the rock wall, a warm sensation filled his stomach, gradually spreading throughout his body.
Su Xiao felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, his whole body was warm and cozy, he even felt a bit drowsy, while Bubute Ni lay at his feet, showing a similar expression of enjoyment.
In this comfortable enhancement, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, more than forty minutes had gone by.
The warmth vanished, and Su Xiao’s eyes opened, a pile of unchecked notifications appeared.
[Your stamina has permanently increased by 1.]
[Your life value has permanently increased by 16.]
[Your stamina has permanently increased by 2.]
[Your life value has permanently increased by 29.]
...
...
A dense row of notifications, Su Xiao calculated it, he ultimately gained 6 points of stamina and 102 points of life value, slightly diverging from the introduction, after all, everyone’s physique is different.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao clearly felt an increase in lung capacity, the previous feeling of exhaustion vanished, leaving him clear-headed and invigorated.
The feeling of the stamina attribute increasing was far better than that of the strength and other attributes, as the stamina attribute represents the strength, endurance, and overall physical health.
Su Xiao checked the stamina attribute, which had now become 20 points, with 18 points from base stats and 2 points from King of Arena.
Though the stamina attribute was still relatively low compared to other attributes, Su Xiao’s survival ability significantly improved.
He suddenly realized that, besides the charm attribute, all his other attributes were quite high.
While he was developing evenly, his development speed wasn’t slow, which was a good thing. As for the charm attribute, he temporarily didn’t consider it, since developing four attributes simultaneously was already his limit.
Su Xiao got up to prepare to set up the world coordinates, but suddenly his stomach was seized with a cramp, his expression turned dark.
Gulu～.
Su Xiao clutched his stomach and hurriedly rushed out of the cave, while Bubute Ni looked at him puzzled, two seconds later, Gulu～.
Bubute Ni’s dog face tightened, tail tucked as it ran out of the cave.
Before they got far, Su Xiao couldn’t hold on any longer. In the choice between ’internal release’ and looking for a spot nearby, he chose to find a spot nearby.
Half an hour later, a worn-out Su Xiao returned to the cave, looking a bit pale. He recalled a line from the Mutated Giant Crocodile’s Prime Meat description: ’The diner must have excellent digestive functions.’
Fortunately, it was just diarrhea once, which was a detoxification phenomenon, very beneficial to the body.
Su Xiao entered the interior of the cave and took out the world coordinate setting device from storage space.
It was an arm-length iron pillar, bowl-thick, covered in blue stripes, exuding a high-tech feel.
Placing the ’world coordinate setting device’ on the ground, the thing gradually sank into the ground and disappeared, a countdown appeared.
[Time remaining for successful coordinate setup: 12 hours.]
[The contractor has completed the guarding of the first coordinate and is en route to the second, expected to arrive in 10 minutes.]
Su Xiao left the cave and waited on the mountaintop where the cave was located.
About ten minutes later, over two hundred contractors arrived, aiming directly for the cave, but just then, an infuriated roar came.
"Damn it, I stepped in crap, who did this, damn mutant beast!"
Ten seconds later, another roar came.
"Oh, crap, I stepped in it too, this one’s huge, ugh～."
The huge one was done by Bu Bu～.
The sound of soles scraping the ground came...
