The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"Beast instinct, huh..."

Seino Makoto silently read the terms and unfolded them.

[Beast Intuition: A keen intuition and insight akin to that of a wild animal]

If it weren't for the exceptionally mysterious fog in Silent Hill that could suppress players' senses, the ambush would most likely have failed.

"You are the one."

After a moment's thought, Seiji Kiyono quickly made up his mind.

"plunder."

With his right hand pressed against the evil player's body, he quietly initiated the affix plunder.

A moment later.

Entry extracted successfully.

Kiyono Makoto decisively loaded the entry onto himself, and felt his mind become clearer. He could instinctively see all the rustling of the wind and the movement of the grass around him. Unfortunately, there was no feedback in the places shrouded in fog, which was obviously suppressing his perception.

"Keep looting."

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the backpack next to the man.

It was an ordinary black backpack. When opened, it contained two strange items: a marble and the paw of an unknown animal.

You have obtained a 'Precious Memory', which can be exchanged for 200 Paradise Points.

You have obtained a 'Mysterious Claw', which can be exchanged for 300 Paradise Points.

Two special items, which can be exchanged for a total of 500 points, are not far from meeting the conditions for withdrawal. No wonder he is a veteran player.

Kiyono Makoto continued his search for spoils.

Before long, a ring on the evil player's wrist came into view.

The Temperance coin is set with a blue gemstone, but at this moment, the gemstone is covered with cracks, looks dull and about to break.

Kiyono Makoto curiously took off the ring, and a prompt quickly appeared before his eyes:

[Item: Ring of Purification]

Category: Consumables

[Remaining uses: 1]

[Effect: Actively activating the purification function can instantly remove most negative statuses, curses, toxins, or evil energy.]

"I see."

Kiyono Makoto's face showed a look of understanding.

I initially thought it was because the senior's luck attribute was too low, preventing her from triggering the stun effect continuously and causing the control to be interrupted. However, it seems that this is not the case. Instead, this experienced player used a special item to remove the negative effect in a short period of time.

As Kiyono Makoto's gaze fixed on it, a purple entry quietly appeared.

"Entry 'Purification'?"

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up, and without even opening the entry, he decided to seize it.

We must plunder!

The purple purification attribute will definitely not disappoint!

A moment later.

The cracked ring quietly turned into powder and disappeared into the air.

As Kiyono Makoto added the entry to his own account, a sudden realization dawned on him.

"When a negative status effect appears on me, it will automatically trigger a purification effect, but it will consume mental energy. At the same time, I can also purify negative status effects on others, provided that physical contact is maintained... It seems like I've become a special item?"

Chapter 51: Team Members Get Two Free Gifts

"Next up is the Crimson Key."

Makoto Kiyono doesn't believe in so-called metaphysics and directly opened the box on the spot.

[Use the Crimson Key?]

"Yes."

next second.

The blood-red key melted quietly in Kiyono Makoto's hands.

You have earned 1200 points.

You have gained two points in constitution.

You have obtained 3 Hemostatic Bandages.

Three prompts appeared before his eyes, which made Kiyono Makoto quite satisfied.

"Could it be because of the 'strong luck' attribute?"

Points and attribute points, my luck is truly extraordinary.

"Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts; the ancients were right."

After the entire inventory was completed, Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh softly.

Defeating a veteran player can lead to instant wealth; no wonder so many people fall into evil ways. The monsters in dungeons are unpredictable and incomprehensible, but they are much easier for players to hunt.

Faint, disordered footsteps could be heard through the mist.

Kiyono Makoto's ears twitched slightly, and he turned around to greet them. Before long, two familiar girls came into view.

"Kiyono, are you alright?"

Eriri's eyes lit up, and she quickly jogged forward, her golden twin tails swaying gently on either side of her body, tracing dazzling arcs.

Seino Makoto clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."

"what?"

Eriri's smile froze instantly, her fists clenched in embarrassment and anger, her little fangs gleaming coldly.

"You idiot, Kiyono! Forget that name already!"

"I can't forget it, I can't forget it at all."

"..."

Amidst the playful banter, the senior's cool and languid voice came from the side:

"Someone's late arrival is just like those useless husbands in movies."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

Eriri quickly turned her head to look over, hands on her hips, entering battle mode:

"We've gone through all that trouble to get through this town, without stopping to rest the whole way. We've come all this way to rescue you, so hurry up and thank me properly!"

"And besides, I'm not some useless husband!"

"..."

Kato Megumi took two steps forward, tilted her pretty face up, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes:

"Kiyono-kun, there's blood on your clothes. Are you injured?"

"Ok?"

Upon closer inspection, Kiyono Makoto noticed a few drops of blood on the hem of his clothes, which he hadn't seen at all before.

"Don't worry, it's someone else's blood."

"Eh...?"

"Once you're in a dungeon, you're not in control of your own destiny."

Kato Megumi turned her head and finally saw the figure that was faintly visible in the mist. She gently bit her lower lip and quickly turned her pretty face away.

"...I believe in Kiyono-kun."

As they were talking, Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice came over:

"Junior, come here for a second."

Kiyono Makoto strode over:

"How to say?"

"Futaba has agreed to join the team," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, arms crossed. "But there's one condition."

"Ok?"

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at Futaba Rio.

The girl in the white coat had a pale face. She raised her hand to push up her glasses, her voice weak but still calm:

"From a generally rational point of view, joining the team is the optimal solution."

"But that doesn't mean we're in a subordinate relationship. If Kiyono-kun wants a servant who will absolutely obey any of your orders, then I refuse to join your team."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Inviting Futaba to join the team is because I hope to entrust my back to you, not to be your slave owner, so rest assured, I will not do anything against Futaba's will."

Rio Futaba let out a soft breath:

"Then... I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Kiyono Makoto asked:

What is Futaba's all-around talent called?

"...Futaba Rio."

Makoto Kiyono took out the Captain's Contract, then extended his right hand to Rio Futaba to begin the contract ritual:

"Rio Futaba, be my daughter!"

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and turned her pretty face slightly away:

"...Adosan."

The girl's tone remained calm, but upon closer inspection, a blush could be clearly seen on the tips of her ears, indicating that she was not as calm as she appeared.

next second.

The contract scroll moved automatically without wind, floating into the air. An invisible flaming pen danced in the air, writing the name of Rio Futaba on the scroll.

hum~

The park's cold, ruthless voice echoed in Kiyono Makoto's mind:

Congratulations, you have recruited your third full-time crew member.

As the captain, you receive an additional 10% bonus to the maximum attribute of this crew member.

Kiyono Makoto opened the character panel and quickly discovered that his agility attribute had received a slight boost.

"Is Futaba's strongest attribute agility?"

Kiyono Makoto was quite happy.

Rio Futaba's voice was calm and collected: "For novice players, constitution and agility are more important, after all, only by surviving can you have a future."

"It makes sense."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement, glancing at Eriri beside him as he spoke.

What are you looking at me for?

Eriri guiltily turned her pretty face away and muttered to herself:

"Everyone has different choices, okay..."

"If you switched places with your senior, you'd be exhausted after running just a few hundred meters."

While making sarcastic remarks, Kiyono Makoto glanced at the timid Nishimiya Shoko beside him:

"Nishimiya-kun, it's your turn."

"...?"
