Hunter 77: This Exploit Shouldn't Be Allowed

The First Generation Reincarnator was outrageous! Lin Jiu had thought it was like First Generation Demon Slayer or something similar.

But it was completely different! Second Generation Reincarnator... meant that after Lin Jiu died and was reborn again with the Reincarnation Disc, he would be considered a Second Generation Reincarnator.

If that were the case, by extension, how many generations of reincarnators would represent how many times Lin Jiu had died?

Isn't this just a backup revival item? No, the clone is an independent, complete individual separate from Lin Jiu, and theoretically could become a Paradise Contractor

Lin Jiu imagined multiple clones simultaneously obtaining resources to help strengthen the original body, but suddenly the image of a blood-wrapped figure chasing him with a knife flashed in his mind.

He shuddered. Friend, this exploit shouldn't be allowed.

Wouldn't this align with the Contract Violator? He still had the identity of a Hunter - was this asking him to kill himself?

But he couldn't dismiss it outright. With such a prospect laid before him, it was impossible not to be tempted. He immediately sent feedback to the Reincarnation Paradise to inquire.

[Hunter feedback situation accepted, judging... Not an outsider, passed... Independent existence passed... Whether fulfilling various Paradise obligations, passed... Time-space power consumption situation passed...]

[Comprehensive evaluation: Feasible. Please read the following regulations, Hunter]

[Hint: The best option is to export to forces outside this Paradise!]

Sure enough, as an independent entity, the Reincarnation avatar conformed to all the regulations within the Reincarnation Paradise. But when it came to the abilities of the Reincarnation avatar, the Reincarnation Paradise knew how to play.

While Lin Jiu was still thinking about the avatar just acting as a Reincarnation Paradise contractor to help him collect resources, the Reincarnation Paradise was already thinking about using this to export undercover agents to other forces.

With this reminder from the Reincarnation Paradise, Lin Jiu's thoughts suddenly opened a big door. How much profit could be made by staying in the Reincarnation Paradise? He had to find a chance to send them to places like the Apocalypse Paradise.

Lin Jiu smiled as he read the avatar regulations provided by the Reincarnation Paradise. Apart from the basic obligations of other contractors, the Reincarnation avatar must bear the obligation to contribute to the Paradise, and in return would receive corresponding preferential treatment in certain aspects.

Just as he learned when he first entered: [Paradise Regulation: Everything will be exchanged equally!]

"But Reincarnation is an ability of the Reincarnation Disc's Heaven Disc, so what's the situation with this Human Plate?"

Lin Jiu thought, hoping there wasn't another ability as bug-like as Reincarnation after switching disc. So he switched the Reincarnation Disc to the Human disk.

[Reincarnation Disc (Human disc)]

Origin: Reincarnator

Quality: Special

Category: Special (Heaven/Human disc activated)

Durability: None

Equipment Binding: Reincarnator

Equipment Effect: Man Conquers Nature. Permanent +2 to Luck attribute (can be used once per world experience)

Description: Knowing fate, one understands the limits of human effort, whether preparing for the worst or pulling back from the brink; knowing the principle of extreme prosperity leading to decline, and extreme adversity leading to prosperity, one can remain calm and live with equanimity.

Price: Non-tradable, cannot be dropped.

========

"..."

Lin Jiu was speechless. There was such an outrageous skill. He immediately used this ability, and his Luck attribute changed to 3 points.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiu chose to use Soul Split. According to the principle, it was splitting off a part of the soul, and this tearing pain should be very intense.

Lin Jiu was prepared, but he didn't feel any pain at all, just a slight mental fatigue, falling into a weakened state.

"Could it be that the pain when awakening the Class was the tearing of the soul?"

Lin Jiu pondered as he switched the Reincarnation Disc back to the Heaven Disc and activated Reincarnation.

[Allow/Disallow Contractor No. 17334 to enter the Hunter's exclusive room.]

"Allow."

Lin Jiu didn't expect that even from the avatar's construction, it was already following Paradise regulations.

[Contractor No. 17334 is temporarily in a soul state. Spend 10,000 Paradise Coins to construct a body? Yes/No]

"...Yes."

If Lin Jiu remembered correctly, this avatar had the physical attributes of when he was still an ordinary person, yet it was worth 10,000 Paradise Coins.

A figure that only slightly resembled Lin Jiu's brow appeared before him. The body was somewhat thin, but the eyes revealed a kind of shrewd efficiency!

"What are you thinking? You're not planning to kill the original body, are you?"

Lin Jiu asked, seeing the other lost in thought.

"Have you lost your mind? I am you. If you die, you'll become me." the avatar frowned and said.

"I was just considering what name I should have. As the first born avatar, how about Primordial?" the avatar pondered, stroking his chin.

"When did I become so chuunibyou."

Lin Jiu only felt embarrassed. Fortunately, the avatar's appearance was only somewhat delicate, without inheriting his handsomeness, which alleviated the embarrassment of watching himself act chuunibyou.

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Kunkun?"

"Get lost! Is there anyone who insults themselves like this? Let's call me Daxius!"

Daxius had never seen such an original body, even insulting himself.

"What's your talent?"

Lin Jiu remembered that avatars don't inherit skills, but would transform one of the original body's characteristics or abilities into a talent. Lin Jiu was curious about Daxius's talent!

Daxius showed his information panel to Lin Jiu. The basic attributes were the same as when Lin Jiu first entered the Reincarnation Paradise.

[Talent: Ultimate Financial Management]

After a transaction is completed, 5% of the resources spent will be refunded.

"Ah... from now on, the task of selling items is yours!"

After a long while, Lin Jiu finally said.

"The Paradise hinted that I'll enter a trial world in an hour. Quickly transfer me a few tens of thousands of Paradise Coins!" Daxius said.

"..."

Lin Jiu felt he should look in a mirror; how come he never realized he was so shameless? It seemed the Reincarnation Avatar's personality differed quite a bit from the original.

Daxius still took 6000 Paradise Coins from Lin Jiu, along with a blue treasure chest from Kokushibo. Their thoughts weren't synchronized, so Lin Jiu wasn't clear on Daxius's plans.

Originally, Lin Jiu had planned to sell these unused items, but now he decided to wait until Daxius finished the trial and hand the items over to him to sell, which would be more profitable.

He still had 150,000 Paradise Coins left, which was enough to use. What he lacked now was Soul Crystals (Small). He had thought he could improve his Sword Mastery, but didn't expect awakening a Class would also require consuming a Soul Crystal.

"Now it's time to witness man conquering nature."

Lin Jiu had just added two points to his luck, and confidence immediately surged. He immediately took out the remaining Muzan Kibutsuji treasure chest in his hand.

[You opened the treasure chest (Blue)]

[You obtained one Random Skill Scroll]

That was it!

And there was no flash of light, which meant this Random Skill Scroll was the guaranteed item from this treasure chest.

Lin Jiu carefully looked at the Random Skill Scroll he received. Although it was a blue-quality item, the description said it would randomly grant a skill from a character in the Demon Slayer world. This meant there was a chance to get a green-quality skill.

"This isn't scientific! Something must have gone wrong! My luck couldn't possibly be ineffective, it feels like I'm overlooking something..."

Lin Jiu frowned, there must be some problem here!

Suddenly, a character attribute panel he had just seen flashed in his mind.

Contractor No. 17334

Name: Daxius

Level: LV.1 (First Stage)

Health: 100%

Mana: 70

Strength: 5

Agility: 5

Stamina: 7

Intelligence: 7

Charisma: 6

Luck: 3

...

"Luck 3, Daxius's luck is 3!"

Lin Jiu pulled a few hairs from his head. He understood what was going on now. He and the Reincarnation Avatar shared the same luck, which meant 3 points of luck were split between two people.

No wonder there was a Man Conquers Nature skill on the Human Disc, it was to prevent too many clones from making himself unlucky to death.

"It's not entirely a bad thing. Conversely, if the avatar has a chance to increase luck, it will also enhance my side."

Lin Jiu consoled himself, choosing to ignore the difficulty of increasing the luck attribute.

Thinking about how in the future he would be like that guy Su Xiao, with a seemingly high luck attribute but average fortune, and he didn't even have bug equipment like Shadow of Law, Lin Jiu wanted to cry. But thinking about the rewards he'd get, he swallowed the bitter water.

He took out two Random Skill Scrolls, the other being the Ubuyashiki Clan Ability Package.

He first opened the Ubuyashiki Clan Ability Package, and another scroll appeared in his hand.

[Prescient Divination]

Quality: Blue

Type: Active · Knowledge-type Skill Scroll

Learning Condition: Intelligence 15 points or above

Usage Condition: Consumes divination items each use

Skill Effect: Consume items to activate divination, and make an Intelligence check. If the check passes, can obtain information related to main quests (side quests, hidden quests, achievement quests).

Note: The detailed level of information depends on the divination level and the quality of consumed divination-related items.

Rating: 55

Description: I see it, that's the future... a scene of peace!

Price: 7,800 Paradise Coins

===========

Lin Jiu was tempted for a moment, then lingered on the description for a long time before noticing this was a knowledge-type skill. Knowledge-type skills were mostly for secondary classes, like blacksmith, pharmacist, alchemist... and so on.

And knowledge-type inheritances were divided into stages one to nine. But this was just one branch skill, still divided by quality.

This was a skill scroll for the Diviner Class. For this type of Class, it's best not to learn related skills before having a complete inheritance, because without proper technique it won't be of much use, and there's no potential for growth.
