Chapter 866: Games and New Worlds
"Warning: The Hunter must not disclose any information related to the 'Proof of the Strong' to others. If the Hunter reveals this information, they will receive two warnings in a very short time. If the Hunter continues to disclose related news, they will incur a penalty of -30% to all attributes and be forcibly separated from this type of information in their brain.
The 'Proof of the Strong' is a consumable medal with three acquisition methods:
Challenge powerful plot creatures higher than one's level. The challenge fee is five Soul Crystals (Large).Participate in the 'Black Abyss Experience.' The Hunter's current strength shows that the survival rate is between 4% and 6%.Participate in the 'Alice Demon Castle Game.' An invitation is required, and a group of seven participants is needed. The invitation can be obtained by exchanging 200,000 amusement park coins and fifteen Soul Crystals (Medium).
...
There are three options available. The first option is challenge-oriented, which should be the simplest but the most expensive method, requiring five Soul Crystals (Large).
As for the second option, the Black Abyss Experience, Su Xiao didn't even consider it. It's a survival-oriented experience, requiring strength and luck. Surviving in the 'Black Abyss' would be a miracle with his fate.
Regarding the third option, it's a compromise. The cost is lower than the first option, and the danger is lower than the second, but there are restrictions. One needs to wait for six other contractors to participate before starting.
Seeing the name 'Alice,' Su Xiao immediately thought he seemed to have an 'Alice Demon Castle Game' invitation, which he obtained by killing the third-tier contractor Butterfly in the Holy Grail world.
The Butterfly should have reached 80 attribute points and successfully broken through the body's limits, obtaining information about the 'Proof of the Strong' and exchanging it for an invitation using amusement park coins and Soul Crystals.
After Butterfly's death, Su Xiao activated the opponent's Crimson Card and obtained [Alice's Invitation]. When he first checked this invitation, he had no idea what it was. The initial check results were:[Alice's Invitation]
Origin: Unknown
Quality: Unknown
Type: Invitation
Effect: Unknown
Rating: Unknown
Introduction: An invitation inviting you to enter...
Price: 1 Amusement Park Coin
...
Su Xiao once tried to spend amusement park coins to appraise this thing, but the result needed more permissions + conditions not activated.
Now everything is explained. Su Xiao couldn't view the properties of [Alice's Invitation] due to insufficient permissions, and his attributes still needed to reach 80 points and break the body's limits.
Su Xiao took out [Alice's Invitation], and indeed, the properties of [Alice's Invitation] appeared.
[Alice's Invitation]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: None
Type: Invitation
Effect: After using this invitation, wait for 2-3 natural days (within Reincarnation Paradise or the real world). When the game starts, you will receive a prompt.
Rating: 0
Introduction: An invitation invites you to enter Alice's Demon Game, a place that is interesting and desperate. Come, complete this game, and you will be the strong one, unquestionable by anyone.
Price: 1 Amusement Park Coin
...
After some hesitation, Su Xiao used [Alice's Invitation]. The balanced ' Alice Demon Castle Game ' seemed the best choice compared to the costly challenge or hazardous experiential training without entry conditions.
"The Hunter has used 'Alice's Invitation.' You will wait for 2-3 natural days. If, during this time, you enter the derivative world, you will receive the 'game invitation' after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise."
Su Xiao will enter the derivative world in about an hour, so he can only start the so-called Demon Game after this derivative world ends.
In this derivative world, Su Xiao will begin the third-tier trial assessment. He will be promoted to a third-tier Hunter if he passes the inspection.
If he successfully advances to the third tier, three-quarters of the barrier of reaching 80 points will be completed. Only the 'Proof of the Strong' remains, and there's also a clue about the 'Proof of the Strong.'
But before that, Su Xiao needs to unlock the third level of alchemy, which is also the final level. A prompt for opening alchemical creature creation appears:
[Prompt: Alchemical Creature Creation Study Locked.]
[To unlock the 'Alchemical Creature Creation Study,' Alchemy Potionry must be raised to Lv.10 (achieved) and pay one Soul Crystal (Medium) + 10,000 Amusement Park Coins.]
The cost of unlocking alchemical creature creation is low. Two Soul Crystals (Medium) are left, so Su Xiao chooses to open them.
"You have successfully unlocked the third level of alchemy, Alchemical Creature Creation Study and all branches of the alchemy skill tree are unlocked."
A vast amount of knowledge about the 'Alchemical Creature Creation Study' appears in Su Xiao's mind. He presses his forehead with one hand, and his brain rapidly absorbs this knowledge. With his current physical quality, he no longer feels dizzy or disoriented.
Thirty minutes later, Su Xiao unlocked the 'Alchemical Creature Creation Study' and casually opened the alchemy skill tree.
Alchemy Third Level: Alchemical Creature Creation Study Lv.1 (Quantity Degree 0/10)
Alchemical Raven: Each creation requires 150 mana, pseudo-life bones (3 portions), monster crystal nucleus (1 piece), biological magic organization (2 parts), and soul shards (4 bits).
Alchemical Raven
Initial Strength: 10
Initial Agility: 22
Initial Stamina: 8
Initial Intelligence: 5
Initial Charm: 6
Skill 1: Shared Vision (Initial Distance 50 meters).
Skill 2: Rapid Flight (Initial speed 128.72 km/h, approximately equivalent to a car's speed of 80 mph).
...
The initial attributes of the alchemical creatures can only be described as poor. As for the shared vision of 50 meters, it's too far, useful in limited places, and the ability to fly rapidly could be faster in Su Xiao's view.
There are still 5,800 amusement park coins left. If he uses amusement park coins instead of materials to create the alchemical raven, it will cost 4,000 amusement park coins to create one.
A few days ago, when Su Xiao left the Reincarnation Paradise, he spent 20,000 amusement park coins to create four bottles of Type 1 potion. Due to insufficient mana, he spent only some of the amusement park coins on potion creation. If he had enough mana at that time, Su Xiao would have needed to sell some less commonly used items to gather enough amusement park coins to upgrade alchemy.
Four thousand amusement park coins for one, considering the attributes of the alchemical raven, this cost can be called absurd, and this is only the initial attribute without Su Xiao's intelligence bonus.
The most significant advantage of the alchemical raven is that it's not a living creature and can be stored in the storage space.
After some hesitation, Su Xiao chooses to create one.
After paying the amusement park coins, various materials simulated by consuming amusement park coins appear. These materials cannot be stored in the storage space or taken out of the Reincarnation Paradise; they can only be used on-site.
The light in Su Xiao's hand flashes and mana gradually depletes. This is his first attempt at creating alchemical creatures; even though he understands the creation method, the process is unfamiliar.
Ten minutes later, the light in Su Xiao's hand dissipates, and a pure black raven sculpture appears. This raven is the same size as a normal raven, but its feathers are as stiff as steel. Its beak is sharp. Su Xiao consumes one mana to activate the alchemical raven.
The alchemical raven opens its eyes, revealing an alchemical array in its sights. Alchemical creatures have a time limit and won't exist permanently. When the alchemical raven's collection loses its lustre completely, it will be deemed scrapped without the possibility of recharging or repair. The higher the level of the alchemical creature, the longer it will exist.
Su Xiao activates the alchemical raven using mana, signifying that this alchemical raven becomes his summoned creature. He closes his eyes and senses. Indeed, he can easily control the alchemical raven. After flapping its wings to fly for a while, the alchemical raven perches on Su Xiao's shoulder.
The current alchemical raven has an additional 79 intelligence points due to Su Xiao. He checks the alchemical raven's attributes:
Alchemical Raven
Type: Alchemical Creature
Existence Time: 15 natural days
Life: 100%
Mana: 180 points
Strength: 29

Skill 1: Shared Vision (Distance 700 meters), consumes ten mana per minute.
Skill 2: Rapid Flight (Speed 586.72 km/h).
...
[Prompt: You have successfully activated a summoned creature. Due to not mastering basic summoning skills, the maximum limit of summoned creatures is 1/1.]
[The Hunter will enter the derivative world, 'A Certain Magical Index,' in 1 minute.]"
