Detected Hunter has completed a Hunter Quest and obtained a Bronze Medal, the Honor Shop is now open.

Location: Hunter's exclusive room, please explore at your leisure.

Sitting on the floor, he examined the settlement rewards from the 'Under One Person' Derivative World.

[Notification: Hunter's vital signs detected as unhealthy, proceed with recovery?]

He confirmed recovery and paid the Paradise Coins. Within a soft glow, his abrasions and internal bleeding rapidly healed.

[Notification: Hunter's body has been repaired. 1400 Paradise Coins deducted.]

He leaped up from the floor and turned towards the screen embedded in the wall.

[Notification: Welcome to the Hunter's Honor Shop]

[Notification: As this is the Hunter's first time using the Honor Shop, please read the following regulations.]

1. Items in the Honor Shop can only be exchanged with Honor Medals. 2. Items exchanged from the Honor Shop are locked and cannot be traded with other Contractors. 3. Hunters are prohibited from disclosing any information about the Honor Shop to other Contractors, or they will face forced execution by the Cycle Paradise. 4. All items in the Honor Shop are limited in supply. 5. No exchanges or refunds after purchase.

He nodded, meaning this was an exchange system with exclusive currency, so the items would be rare and hard to come by.

After a moment of thought, he willed his consciousness and continued to operate the Honor Shop.

[Notification: As the Hunter only possesses a Bronze Medal, the following exchanges are available.]

Soul Crystal (Small) * 1

Price: One Bronze Medal

Honor Recovery Potion

Effect: Upon use, instantly restores 100% Health.

Price: One Bronze Medal

Deep Brain Repair Potion

Effect: Performs a repair and activation of the deep regions of the brain.

Price: One Bronze Medal

There were not many items, only three, but all three were very practical.

Soul Crystals were essential for unlocking and upgrading professional skills, their importance was self-evident.

The Honor Recovery Potion's strength lay in the word 'instantly'; having this potion in a Derivative World was equivalent to having an extra life!

However, for him, such recovery medicine wasn't particularly valuable, as he had 'Life Extraction' and the recovery effect of Life Essence wasn't bad either.

Deep Brain Repair Potion, this kind of cellular-level repair would be extremely beneficial to any Contractor, especially an intelligence-type Contractor like himself.

After careful consideration, he selected the Soul Crystal. As the Bronze Medal disappeared from his storage space, a gem essence containing a soul appeared in his hand.

The death of his parents, the revenge for his life, the hatred for his family's destruction – 'death', 'revenge', 'hatred' had yet to be avenged.

So-called long-term benefits were not part of his established plan.

His current core objective was revenge. As for the future of the Cycle Paradise, he would only be qualified to plan for it after he had avenged his death!

Upon completing the exchange, he immediately applied to the Paradise to upgrade his skills.

``` [Hint: Upgrading 'Life Force' requires 1000 Paradise Coins, 1 Soul Crystal. Proceed (Y/N)?]

[Hint: Your Life Force has been upgraded to LV2.]

Life Force, Level 2

Usage Condition: Consume 100 Life Force. (185/205)

Skill Effect: Enhances your next Nature-element skill, increasing its effect by 100% and reducing its cooldown by 50%. When casting a class skill, it will receive a secondary enhancement. No cooldown.

Hint: Life Force cannot regenerate automatically. Absorbing items containing the origin of life can restore Life Force.

After reviewing the upgrade effects of [Life Force], he rejoiced inwardly. The 100-point increase in his maximum not only represented an additional burst of power.

More importantly, it meant he could accumulate an extra 100 Life Force during non-combat times!

This was a comprehensive improvement. After resting for a moment, Wang Changle looked at the remaining 15410 Paradise Coins and 12 attribute points in his Space.

This time, he intended to make good use of his gains to strengthen himself as much as possible. After tidying up, he began to tally his spoils from Under One Person:

[Iron Head Skill Book] * 1, obtained by killing 'Liao Tietou'.

[Phantom Sound Wave Skill Book] * 1, obtained by killing 'Luo Wei'.

[Mysterious Iron] * 2, one from Tianxia Association, one from a Scarlet Card.

[Mysterious Turtle Shell] * 1, obtained from Tianxia Association.

[Book of Eibon (Fragment)] * 1, obtained by opening a Scarlet Treasure Chest.

[Ring of the Prophet] Currently equipped, obtained by opening a Scarlet Card.

[Nagini's Ring] Currently equipped, obtained by opening a Scarlet Card.

[Characteristic Card: Fusion] * 1, obtained by killing Serpent People Priest, acquired through talent.

[Giant Snake's Tooth] * 1, obtained by opening a Treasure Chest.

[Treasure Chest (Blue)], obtained by killing Yuan Tao. [Treasure Chest (Green)], obtained by killing Han Dan'er. [Treasure Chest (White)], obtained by killing Zhu Tian (Vermilion Palm).

He planned to find a Staff Member specializing in forging to help him craft a melee Weapon with these materials.

This Derivative World had made him realize how lacking his offensive methods were.

Just killing Han Dan'er had been exceptionally difficult. He emptied a magazine from his pistol, coupled with the Treant's attacks and the vines' immobilization.

Even then, he hadn't managed to kill Han Dan'er immediately. Fortunately, Lu Jin had blocked Yuan Tao. He had to double back, empty another magazine, and finally managed to kill him with a steel knife stab.

If he hadn't been so well-prepared, that assassination attempt would have failed, significantly compromising his plan. He didn't want to bear such a risk again!

Therefore, he absolutely needed a melee weapon, at least a green-grade one!

His melee capabilities could be weak, but they couldn't be nonexistent. Appropriately compensating for his shortcomings was also a form of combat power enhancement, allowing him to survive better in Paradise.

As for the ticket, he decided to wait. He would make plans after he avenged himself and his attribute points had increased further!

This ticket was an opportunity and a choice, but it wasn't something he absolutely needed now, nor would it be indispensable later!

After deciding what to do with all the items, he turned his attention to the three Treasure Chests. His ability to earn more money this time depended on these three chests.

[You have opened Treasure Chest (White)]

[You have obtained Iron Sand * 1]

Iron Sand

Origin: Under One Person

Rarity: White

Description: High-quality sand from refined iron, usable for forging or smelting. It can also be used as an aid in practicing Vermilion Palm.

Price: 200 Paradise Coins.

Looking at the large bag of Iron Sand in his hand, he clicked his tongue. He had expected at least a Vermilion Palm skill book, but instead, he got an item used for practicing the skill.

Oh well, he'd just consider it forging material!

[You have opened Treasure Chest (Green)]

[You have obtained Han Dan'er's Grandmother's Ashes * 1]

[You have obtained Swift Rabbit * 1]

Upon opening the Treasure Chest, a gray cloth bag dropped out first, followed by a soft green light. A pair of pink and white rabbit slippers appeared on the ground.

[Han Dan'er's Grandmother's Ashes]

Origin: Under One Person

Rarity: White

Description: Contains Han Dan'er's longing for his grandmother. Carrying it will provoke Han Dan'er's hatred.

Price: 10 Paradise Coin.

"You have to kill me, damn your grandma's ashes! If I succeed in getting revenge, I'll definitely find a good place to bury your grandma!"

Wang Changle looked at the bag of ashes in his hand and sighed.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think of his own parents, not knowing where the ashes of the elderly couple were, or what had happened to them.

He felt no guilt about killing Han Dan'er.

If he didn't kill Han Dan'er, it would be basically impossible to kill Yuan Tao. If he couldn't kill Yuan Tao, he couldn't gain Lu Jin's trust. If he couldn't gain Lu Jin's trust, he couldn't break the stalemate. Therefore, killing Han Dan'er was inevitable.

In this Cycle Paradise, no one is innocent, and nothing is not worth sacrificing. Only by paying a price can one gain greater benefits!

[Swift Rabbit]

Origin: Under One Person

Green: 29

Defense: 3

Active Skill: Swiftness: After performing the corresponding action, movement speed increases by 30% for 5 seconds (cooldown 1 hour).

Description: Made by Han Dan'er imitating his grandma's cloth shoes.

Price: 3000 Paradise Coin

Stroking the pink slippers in his hand, Wang Changle looked at his feet. Wearing these would require immense willpower, and if he combined them with actions, he would definitely die of embarrassment!

Moreover, he was currently wearing the Armor of Toughness and couldn't use them for the time being, so he decided to sell them!

[You have opened a Treasure Chest (Blue)]

You obtained 1000 Paradise Coin.

You obtained Forging Blueprint: Nine Dragons * 1.

[Forging Blueprint: Nine Dragons]

Origin: Under One Person

Blue: 70

Usage Requirements: Requires at least Master level 10, Forging or Artifact Refining.

Effect: Use the blueprint to learn the method of refining the Nine Dragons.

Note: The Nine Dragons are nine pieces of equipment.

Note: Equipping the Nine Dragons will occupy nine equipment slots of the Contractor.

Description: Yuan Tao condensed all his blood and sweat to create this according to the Nine Dragon Illusion Array.

Price: 10000 Paradise Coin.

..

He couldn't help but lick his lips. He had experienced the power of the Nine Dragons; they were incredibly formidable!

They could attack offensively, defend defensively, possess strong defense, and provide support. They could truly be called all-around.

Yuan Tao had only used Pulao, Suo Ni, Chao Feng, Ba Xia, and Chi Wen when fighting Zhang Lingyu, and he already had the upper hand. Even when facing Lu Jin, he fought back and forth with all seven pearls displayed!

If he hadn't killed Han Dan'er first, causing Yuan Tao to be consumed by rage and want to kill him swiftly.

And then Lu Jin crippled Chi Wen, with Zhang Lingyu observing from the side, it would have been impossible for him alone to kill Yuan Tao.

After reading the forging blueprint, his eyes narrowed, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the wall.

"Tap tap~"
