AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Lu Feng first picked up the treasure chest dropped by Ajin.
"You have opened a treasure chest (green)."
A flash of green light stung Lu Feng's eyes, making him instinctively turn his head away.
A good start! The first one flashed!
"You have gained 4000 Paradise Coins."
"You have gained Ajin's Dignity (green equipment)."

Description: Why is my hairline getting higher recently? No, I can't let others find out. This is a man's dignity!
Price: 1600 Paradise Coins
... A blue and white striped headband appeared in Lu Feng's hand, a small top-tier piece of equipment.
Every attribute point is precious to a Contractor, and this equipment not only provided a full 2 points of Agility but also increased attack speed.
No matter what type of Contractor, seeing this equipment would be tempted.
He had intended to equip it immediately, but considering his pitiful attack power, even with a 10% increase in attack speed, it seemed it wouldn't be of much use.
Anka, on the other hand, already had a high Agility of 26 points, and with an additional 2 points, he would be far superior to current-tier Contractors.
Furthermore, high Agility brings high attack speed, so if this equipment were given to Anka, the 10% attack speed increase would be highly valuable.
"Brother Tiger, come here, let me show you a 'treasure'."
Lu Feng called out.
Anka was immersed in the enlightenment of awakening the Pixiu Soul, and upon hearing 'treasure', he immediately brought his big head over.
Lu Feng took the opportunity to put Ajin's Dignity on Anka's head.
With something suddenly on his head, Anka was very unaccustomed to it and instinctively reached out his paw to try and pull it off.
But then he realized that after wearing this strange item, his body felt much lighter, and his paws were more flexible.
Hey, it really is a good thing!
As Lu Feng's follower, Anka also received information from the Paradise, gaining some understanding of Reincarnation Paradise and the Hunter.
He understood that this was the so-called 'equipment'.
Seeing another green treasure chest at Lu Feng's feet, he simply stayed put.
He lay directly at Lu Feng's feet, wanting to see what other 'treasures' could be opened inside.
Lu Feng didn't hesitate either; he picked up the treasure chest dropped by Clarke and chose to open it.
Another dazzling green light, and Lu Feng and Anka simultaneously squinted and turned their heads away.
"You have opened a treasure chest (green)."
"You have gained 3600 Paradise Coins."
"You have gained a reverse armor cloak (green equipment)."

Rating: 19
Description: Hit me, come on, hit me if you dare. Why aren't you making a move?
Price: 2300 Paradise Coins
... Although it's called a cloak, this is actually a large steel plate studded with spikes.
Lu Feng's Strength attribute was a pitiful 7 points, far from meeting the equipment requirements. If he were to wear it, he would be so weighed down he couldn't even walk.
It seemed it could only benefit Anka again.
Anka's Strength attribute was as high as 25 points, and his Stamina was an astonishing 20 points, allowing him to easily wield this equipment.
Lu Feng, with a flick of his wrist, draped the reverse armor cloak over Anka's back.
The heavy iron armor brought no burden; instead, it gave him a sense of substantial security.
He moved around a bit, his movements still agile, without the slightest impact.
Lu Feng looked on with envy. It seemed he had worked hard for an entire world, didn't get a single piece of equipment for himself, and it all went to Anka.
You just be happy; with this equipment, you're destined to be the one on the front lines, drawing fire.
Lu Feng consoled himself sourly.
Fortunately, the two green treasure chests also yielded 7600 Paradise Coins, enough for him to buy some decent equipment.
"Brother Tiger, let's go, I'll show you what Reincarnation Paradise is like."
Although he said that, it was Lu Feng's first time entering Reincarnation Paradise himself.
Opening the door to his exclusive room, the clamor of human voices drifted in.
Lu Feng's gaze was drawn to the vast expanse of buildings ahead, each with a unique form and style.
Some of these buildings were entirely constructed of hard, cold metal, glinting with a chilling light under the sunlight.
Others were built from traditional bricks and stones, appearing ancient and substantial.
Even more remarkably, some had exteriors resembling mysterious and strange creatures, with unexplained liquids occasionally seeping from their surfaces, arousing both curiosity and fear.
Due to the presence of these well-arranged and orderly buildings, Reincarnation Paradise naturally formed winding and intricate streets.
These streets, some wide and straight, others narrow and deep, intertwined to form a complex urban tapestry.
Reincarnation Paradise covered a vast area; looking out, one could not see its end.
In this boundless land, people of all kinds moved through the various streets.
Some were fully encased in heavy, sturdy armor, their steps steady and powerful; others wore flowing, luxurious robes, clutching a staff that glowed with mysterious light, clearly powerful mages.
They were either rushing along or strolling leisurely, each face revealing different expressions and stories.
Along the streets, stalls were set up, and Contractors eagerly hawked their wares.
"Top-tier white equipment, 1000 Paradise Coins, serious buyers only."
"Employee seeking protection, price negotiable."
"High-quality recovery potions, 1200 Paradise Coins, discounts for bulk purchases."
Lu Feng walked around the Paradise with Anka, and wherever they went, people made way.
Anka's enormous size commanded considerable deterrence everywhere he went.
Even within the absolute safety of the Paradise, Contractors instinctively chose to avoid them, simultaneously casting envious glances at Lu Feng.
The death rate in Reincarnation Paradise is very high, and having a powerful follower like Anka in the first tier could undoubtedly greatly increase one's survival rate.
Lu Feng initially quite enjoyed being surrounded by such admiring gazes, but he soon changed his mind.
His primary goal for this outing was to purchase a suitable weapon.
Among the dazzling array of types, firearms were the best choice.
Lu Feng's close-combat ability was not strong. Wielding weapons like swords, spears, or clubs would not only feel awkward but also get in the way, preventing Anka from fighting effectively.
If he could acquire a powerful firearm, with Anka specializing in close combat and Lu Feng providing ranged support, with a little training, they could execute various coordinated moves and devise multiple tactics.
However, ranged weapons were highly sought after by first-tier Contractors, as few were willing to choose the dangerous path of close combat.
The result was that the prices of ranged weapons soared. Even a low-rated white pistol was being sold at the exorbitant price of 2000 Paradise Coins.
"Your white-quality submachine gun, with no equipment effects, you dare to ask for 3000 Paradise Coins?"
Lu Feng finally found a submachine gun he was somewhat satisfied with, but the stall owner was asking an outrageous price.
"Boss, it's not easy for us to get equipment, and you don't seem like someone who's short on Paradise Coins, so don't haggle with us too much."
But the stall owner was convinced Lu Feng was a fat sheep and wouldn't budge.
"Which eye of yours saw that I'm a big shot? I just entered Reincarnation Paradise, I've only experienced one world progress, I'm a complete newcomer!"
"Right, right, right, you just experienced your first world, you don't understand anything, and you just recruited a powerful follower, a fierce tiger."
The stall owner's eyes conveyed disdain, clearly mocking Lu Feng for shamelessly pretending to be a newcomer just to bargain.
"I'm gonna…"
Lu Feng was furious but at a loss for how to retort.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, put down the weapon, and left the stall.
It wasn't that Lu Feng couldn't afford it, but the price was excessively inflated, making it truly not worth it.
After wandering around for most of the day, Lu Feng eventually settled for a rusty spear.
"rusty spear"
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise, Blacksmith Shop No. 32
Quality: Green
Category: Weapon (Spear)
Durability: 15/15
Attack Power: 8~18
Equipment Requirement: Strength 6 points or above, Agility 7 points or above
Equipment Effect: Thrust (Active), a full-force stab dealing high piercing damage, damage determined by Agility attribute.
Rating: 12
Description: Originally a blue-quality weapon, it dropped to green quality due to improper storage.
Price: 1600 Paradise Coins
... Spending 3600 Paradise Coins, he acquired a green piece of equipment. Although the price was much higher than that submachine gun, its strength was also not on the same level.
Its effectiveness certainly couldn't compare to a ranged weapon, but at least it didn't require close-quarters combat with enemies, and Anka could fight without restraint.
Furthermore, Lu Feng realized something even more frustrating: he was lost!
