Hunter 80: A New World

[The Hunter is about to return to the real world. Please remember the rules of the Reincarnation Paradise.]

[It is forbidden to reveal anything about the Reincarnation Paradise in the real world by any means. Violations will result in warnings, and if warnings are ineffective, the Hunter will be forcibly executed.]

[Hunters cannot use abilities obtained in the Reincarnation Paradise in reality, except for personal attributes and passive skills.]

[Most equipment or items obtained in the Reincarnation Paradise cannot be taken out into the real world. They will be in a locked state and will be restored upon returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.]

[Transfer begins, destination: Real World.]

...

Lixue Village, located in Jiameng, is not far from Zhaohua Ancient City. Many young people in the village work outside, so the population is sparse.

The village's name comes from an early village head's desire to see snow, so he changed the village name.

A house was quickly built at the foot of the mountain, far from the villagers' residences. The house was very ordinary, except for a large courtyard. A few villagers passing by saw various unknown objects inside.

These things were arranged before entering the derivative world last time. With money as the driving force, by the time he came out, it was completely built. Behind the house is a mountain mixed with bamboo and forest. Lin Jiu has already bought the right to use the mountains behind the village.

Now the village is full of old people, with few children. They can't farm in the mountains. The price Lin Jiu offered was even more than necessary, and he also gave a lot of subsidies to the village elders through the village head, so it was easy to get the right to use several mountains.

"Little Jiu has made it big outside!"

"He still remembers us, old folks, that's nice!"

"I heard this house was built for him to return to his roots when he gets old!"

"This is how one should never forget their roots! Look at Little Jiu, just in his early twenties and already preparing for the future... cough cough!"

Lin Jiu spends most of his time in the Reincarnation Paradise and derivative worlds, so he tells the villagers that the house is usually unoccupied to prevent the villagers from visiting frequently.

The custom-made sword was also delivered to Lin Jiu. Various objects placed in the courtyard were previously customized for sword training. But now they're unnecessary, as his swordsmanship has reached the expert level, and he could easily break these props even with a bamboo sword.

To make use of the good internet speed he paid for, Lin Jiu spends the rest of his time watching dramas and anime.

[Ding, a new derivative world is about to open. The Hunter will return to the Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses around.]

[Transferring... Transfer complete.]

He still had about an hour, so he went to Mechanic Street to get his [Flame Sun].

=========

In addition to the original 15 bullets, Lin Jiu purchased three more magazines of ammunition. After all, all fear stems from insufficient firepower!

[Flame Sun] is more like a semi-automatic small grenade launcher. Its bullets are not cheap, costing 100 Paradise Coins each. Three magazines of bullets cost Lin Jiu 4,500 Paradise Coins.

After using the enhancement machine eight times, strengthening [Flame Sun] to +5, he stopped enhancing. If it failed, there wouldn't be enough time to enhance it again.

==========

Afterward, he purchased a batch of recovery items, leaving Lin Jiu with 20,000 Paradise Coins. He wanted to buy more props and equipment, but there was no time left to browse the trading plaza.

...

[The Hunter will enter the derivative world: [Battle Tendency] in ten minutes.]

"Battle Tendency?"

Lin Jiu's eyes showed a hint of confusion. Had he watched an anime called this?

Around him was another round of wailing, probably entering some dangerous world. Lin Jiu took a glance, and seeing no attractive girls, felt no need for sympathy.

"Battle Tendency? What kind of derivative world is this?"

Lin Jiu's keen hearing caught a conversation that caught his attention. The one asking was a little loli in a small group, who didn't look like a combat unit, either a healer or a perception type.

The leader of the small group brushed the bangs on his forehead and began to speak: "Battle Tendency, the full name is actually..."

Before he could finish, everyone was knocked out.

[Time's up. Derivative world: JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency opens. This world has no anomalies, and spatial coordinates are stable, consuming 0.018 ounces of space-time force.]

[Based on the consumed space-time force, the contractor's minimum overall rating for this world needs to reach D rank.]

...

"What kind of beginning is this..."

Lin Jiu's vision was completely dark. If he hadn't felt that he was sealed in something, he would have thought he had gone blind.

Through touch, Lin Jiu determined that it was probably some kind of solidified lime-like substance. He could feel that there was some space between his body and the object sealing him. This was enough for him to exert force and break through this layer of solidified lime.

However, he didn't rush to take action, instead checking the information about this world.

[Entering World: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency]

===========

"I see! It's JOJO!"

Lin Jiu saw the derivative world information given by Reincarnation Paradise. This Battle Tendency refers to the plot of the second part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

This time, the main quest is a choice of three, with increasing difficulty, and naturally, the quest rewards also increase accordingly. Lin Jiu is now very tempted by those three Soul Crystals (Small).

As for the third main quest, the ultimate being that fears no sunlight... Lin Jiu feels like he's up against this undead again. The final boss this time is another man-eating monster seeking to be fearless of sunlight.

Lin Jiu is a professional at fighting these kinds of creatures. If flesh and blood are indestructible, just cut the soul and be done with it.
