Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 3894 The Heart
【Transmitting...】

[You are about to enter the Apocalypse Paradise. 】

Su Xiao felt the colorful surroundings, and after a brief push back, he was standing in a square with occasional pedestrians, and there were three men and women sitting on the bench in front of him, a thin man, a girl with short hair and glasses, and a smiling man in formal attire.

All three of them noticed Su Xiao who appeared suddenly. Among them, the smiling man nodded friendly to Su Xiao, but in the next second, his expression froze. Does this guy look familiar to me?"

"Your illusion."

The girl with short hair and glasses let out a breath, and the gloomy man on the side was silent, but he also glanced at Su Xiao, and then he was also stunned, and also lowered his voice and said:
"I looked at it, and it looked familiar."

The gloomy man was frowning, even if he looked at the extremely powerful battle angels in the square, the three of them were all top-notch, especially the short-haired glasses girl, whose hidden sharp aura seemed to burst out at any time.

"You three, what are you looking at here?"

Battle Angel Zelina stopped. She was wearing a high-tech sweater. Inside the neckline of the sweater, there were fluorescent energy transmission guide lines. With her long golden hair and the technology module loaded on the right armguard, she was quite beautiful. There is a unique beauty of cyberpunk.

That's right, it's Zelina, the master of elegant costumes. She is the captain of this five-person team. In the last world, she was intimidated by Su Xiao and others, but it doesn't mean that she is weak. It is wise to be able to bend and stretch.

Zelina has a reputation of 57000 points in the tree of the void. How could such a battle angel be weak? Therefore, after 2 hours, her team will be one of the two starting teams in the Apocalypse Paradise.

The number of teams in the six Paradise camps this time is not because the team members are dead, and this Paradise is defeated. This world battle (extremely strong level) is much more fierce than expected. The cause of everything is The spoils of war for this time.

1. The infrastructure, advanced facilities, and unique facilities of Dawn Paradise sealed by the Tree of the Void, some of which have exclusive notarization authority, and some have unique judgment authority.

2. The remaining exclusive and rare resources of Dawn Paradise, as well as "ultra-huge" general resources.

Even if they only compete for the infrastructure and high-level facilities of Dawn Paradise, it is enough to make this battle particularly cruel, let alone the unique facilities of Dawn Paradise.

The "potential detachment device" corresponding to the [Dawn Badge] obtained by Su Xiao is one of the unique facilities of Dawn Paradise. This competition is likely to cover several unique facilities of Dawn Paradise.

The higher the authority of the branding level, the more he understands the infrastructure of the park, and the more he knows the cruelty of this battle. Su Xiao has an exclusive skill upgrade warehouse, so he has more authority in this area. As far as he knows, "Attribute enhancement warehouse ", is the most basic and important facility among all basic park facilities.

If a paradise camp does not have enough "attribute enhancement warehouses", the paradise camp will become weaker and weaker. The reason for this is the composition principle of the "attribute enhancement warehouse". This kind of facility is made of a large number of rare materials, plus "giant Quantity" space-time force, and a small amount of "boundary source".

For the paradise camp, the threshold for massive rare materials is the lowest, followed by the power of time and space. What really limits the number of "attribute enhanced warehouses" is "jieyuan".

The so-called "boundary source" is "the source of the rules of the astral world". It is meaningless to understand what this is. Except for the tree of the void and the level of the Paradise camp, as an individual, you cannot touch this kind of existence substance. It is not that you are completely unqualified , is that there is no corresponding sensory physiological structure, just like people can’t hear the ultrasonic wave.

This kind of thing called "the source of the rules of the astral world", the entire astral world is so little, as early as the first era, it was used by the seven paradises as the core material of the "attribute strengthening warehouse".

It is also doomed that there is an upper limit to the number of "attribute enhanced warehouses" in the seven paradise camps, and the more "attribute enhanced warehouses" you have, the more contractors you can recruit, and the more powerful ones , the higher the odds of winning the world battle, the more power of time and space will be obtained, so it snowballs.

Whether it is "attribute enhancement warehouse", "skill upgrade warehouse", or "equipment enhancement machine", "trial field" and other infrastructure, daily maintenance requires the power of time and space, and the paradise camp is indeed omnipotent. However, this omnipotence will definitely not transcend the unreasonable, that kind of omnipotence will only expose the falsehood in the end, and the real power is the embodiment of omnipotence on the basis of reasonable basic rules .

Another problem is that if you just look at Su Xiao's experience, you will feel that there is no shortage of "attribute enhancement warehouses" in Samsara Paradise. The first thing he does every time he returns to Samsara Paradise is to use real skill points to improve his physical fitness. The first time he went to the attribute enhancement hall, he didn't even line up. In fact, this was just an illusion.

So far, Su Xiao received the lowest comprehensive evaluation in the world, which was B+, and that was at the middle and low level. The last time he followed up was also an A score, generally S or S-, and sometimes S+, as far as his outrageous world comprehensive evaluation is concerned. Evaluation, his "attribute enhanced warehouse" use authority is no longer a matter of advance, but at any time.

As long as he goes to the attribute strengthening hall and chooses an "attribute strengthening warehouse", then when the contractors in it are upgraded, no matter how many people are in the follow-up line, the next place must be the hunter Su Xiao. This is an outrageous world The implicit authority corresponding to the comprehensive evaluation.

In contrast, if you get an E score, you may have to wait until you return to the present world, and then you will be recalled when the new world is opened, and you will be assigned to the "Attribute Enhancement Warehouse" within two hours of entering the world. After improving your physique, you will enter a new mission world.

With the current power of time and space stored in the Reincarnation Paradise, if Su Xiao helps the Reincarnation Paradise win this time, then the final income will be 50% for the Reincarnation Paradise, 35% for the Apocalypse Paradise, and he will get 15%. By then, he must be Transferring this 15% to the Samsara Paradise, it is useless for him to ask for the infrastructure of the park, but for the corresponding strengthening materials.

Calculated in this way, it is 65% of the possession of Samsara Paradise and 35% of Tianqi Paradise. In case another team of Tianqi Paradise does not perform well, this ratio will be balanced by the tree of the void, and it may reach 80% of Samsara Paradise. Paradise 20%.

If estimated in this way, then the large number of "attribute strengthening warehouses" obtained may increase the upper limit of recruitable contractors in Reincarnation Paradise by 20%. This is the same as winning a few regular world battles. Not a gold content,

Not to mention, such exaggerated income is only a part of the possible income this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it only accounts for one-tenth.

In the final analysis, in the original battle for the paradise, Samsara Paradise defeated Shuguang Paradise, but Samsara Paradise was also seriously injured. Fortunately, the tree of the void was an absolute notary, and sealed up all the spoils of Suguang Paradise, and did not directly enter the inventory. Leave another chance to compete.

What is really interesting is that the number of teams in Reincarnation Paradise this time is 0/0, and there should be a lot of stories in it. Death Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Overwatch Paradise are obviously all about eating meat. And Tianqi Paradise, who was about to mix in, found that there was no place to drink soup, so he came ruthlessly, and transferred the two team spots he held to the one in Samsara Paradise by way of transfer.

In this way, as long as the Reincarnation Paradise wins, the Reincarnation Paradise will be full, and the Apocalypse Paradise will also have a big meal, which is much better than drinking soup.

Therefore, the current number of teams of each party is not the limit number of dispatches, but the upper limit that can be dispatched at the same time, such as 2/2 teams in Overwatch Paradise. If the two starting teams die, the follow-up substitute teams will be sent to battlefield.

In this way, the enemy has a total of 6 teams, Death Paradise (1), Sanctuary Paradise (1), Holy Light Paradise (2), and Overwatch Paradise (2).

However, the members of these six teams don't know what they are going to face at this moment. The opponent they are about to face, no, it should be the big boss of the overlord template. The situation of this big boss is as follows:
1. All main attributes are 800 points.

2. Sword Master Lv.95, Melee Master Lv.95, Blood Spear Master Lv.91, 22 kinds of killing methods, universal passive.

3. High-level passives with full number of skills (and all upgraded to Lv.EX), full number and basic passives of attributes (and all upgraded to Lv.EX), and other various Lv.EX passive bonuses.

4. Among all kinds of magic-killing abilities, except for a very few, the level is all Lv.EX.

5. Strengthen +13 Eternal Grade 10050 point scoring weapon.

6. Among the equipment worn in the whole body, the lowest score is the top overlord equipment Planet Destroyer, and this equipment has a score of 6000 points. Among them are super powerful equipment such as "Endless Ring", "Soul King's Coronation", and "Blood Moon Queen".

……

Obviously, the six teams of the four Paradise factions on the opposite side don't know what they are about to face at this moment. Are they here to confront the enemy of the same level?No, no, they are here to face the ultimate boss this time. It seems that this is a PVP confrontation, but it is actually a boss battle in PVE mode.

May I ask, why was Su Xiao suppressed by the Nether Tree until he was the last one to appear?This is for fairness?It can only be said that there is part of the reason for this, and more, it is to prevent the occurrence of blocking the spring water at the beginning. It is not that the tree of the void is predicting, it is Su Xiao who really did this thing before!

The battle angel Zelina on the opposite bench blinked. She even temporarily ignored the captain's majesty and elegant style of beeping, rubbed her eyes, looked at Su Xiao who was sitting by the fountain pool, and made sure that she was right. , she subconsciously stepped back half a step.

"How... how is it possible."

Battle Angel Zelina muttered to herself, but it has to be said that the reaction of the top battle angel was fast. She immediately reported Su Xiao to Apocalypse Paradise, and the answer she got almost broke her defense on the spot.

[Reminder (Apocalypse Paradise): In the current area, you cannot report friendly members. 】

Seeing this reminder, Battle Angel Zelina didn't feel that she had thighs and that the game was stable, but that her team might become a survival mode in this battle.

From the third level to the super strong, the battle angel Zelina has seen more than once, how do the lunatics in Reincarnation Paradise treat those guys who are dragging their feet or pig teammates? These lunatics will kill their teammates first, and then chase and kill the enemy. Mechanism of punishment and ruling?They don't care.

"Bai Ye, which side are you representing this time?"

Battle Angel Zelina spoke calmly.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Zelina with a smile on her face, which made Zelina's negotiation experience even worse. After looking at each other for more than ten seconds, Zelina understood the current situation. The purpose of this reincarnation lunatic is obvious. After entering the battlefield, Kill all violators and hostile squads there.

Zelina left with her teammates, looking a little preoccupied, Su Xiao opened the "Battle Contact Channel" notarized by Apocalypse Paradise, and the news inside was very lively.

Fanny (healing department): "It seems that I won't be able to enter the battlefield this time. My team is number 32."

Mechanic (technical side): "My side is Team No. 7, and Zelina is also on the channel. I won't say that I can enter the field. After all, our entry means that they, as the starting team, have all been wiped out." .”

Zelina (technical side): "Good news, our lineup is too strong this time."

Zelina (technical side): "Bad news, our lineup is too strong this time."

Aiduoer (healing department): "What are you talking about?"

Rain Pheasant (Assassination Department): "It seems that the situation of Zelina's team is not good. Having said that, where is the other starting team?"

Luo Luo (healing department): "Actually, I want to know more about the lineup on the side of Death Paradise."

Zelina (Technology side): "Good news, there is no admission to Reincarnation Paradise."

Zelina (Technology side): "Bad news, there is no admission to Reincarnation Paradise."

Iger (Leifa Department): "Zerina, what's wrong with you? It feels like your performance expectations for yourself are dark."

Coke (gravity system): "As the captain of the starting team, don't be so pessimistic, I'm a little flustered (currently in the No. 10 team)."

White Night (overlord unit): "To recruit healing teammates, you need to have a buff/healing ability score of 350 or more, no personality requirements, no character requirements, no Apocalypse Paradise/Void Tree reputation requirements (even if the number is negative, you can still join the team) , After successfully joining the team, the treatment will be generous, the teammates will be kind, and relevant guarantee contracts can be signed, and the team skills will be excellent (with the four team skill treatments of the Dawn team, the part that has not applied for joining the team can be seen, and all can be seen after applying to join the team)."

Coke (gravity system): "Captain upstairs, why is your system an overlord unit? Is this also an ability system? Isn't this a boss type?"

Ai Duoer (Healing Department): "Theoretically speaking, this classification is fine (forced smile)."

Rain Pheasant (Assassination Department): "Zelina, I seem to understand why you are so strange today, and what you said above are very reasonable."

Aiduoer (Healing Department): "It seems that only one of the most powerful and top healing departments is eligible to join the team, Sovia."

Mechanic (technical side): "It's a good revenge. I have heard that you two have conflicts, but it is true that Sovia is the top of the healing department this time."

Sovia (healing department): "You two, wait for me."

Titan Grizz (tan system): "The trembling healing fanny, who was active in the past, suddenly became silent today."

Mechanic (Technology side): "Very good, the two strongest healers this time, Sovia and Fanny, have entered the list of Reincarnation White Night."

Sovia (Healing Department): "..."

Fanny (healing department): "Heh~, if I don't agree to join the team, even if Bai Ye of the Reincarnation Paradise is very strong, he can't force me into the team, besides, he should not be in the team of the Reincarnation Paradise ."

Mechanic (technical side): "Fannie, what team are you in?"

Fanny (healing department): "Number 6, what's wrong?"

Mechanic (technical side): "I said, if, yes, if Samsara Baiye kills all the first five teams, then as the sixth team, you will enter the battlefield."

Fanny (healing department): "You... don't scare me with such jokes."

Mechanic (technical side): "Fanny, in the past world battles, haven't you seen reincarnated lunatics, fighting to the death?"

Sea Fox (Curse Department): "Stop talking, I've already begun to recall particularly bad memories."

Coke (gravity system): "Hahaha, Fanny panicked."

……

Su Xiao closes the contact channel, opens the list corresponding to the contact channel, and chooses to invite Sovia and Fanny to join the team. He did not expect that there are so many super-strong battle angels in Apocalypse Paradise who recognize him, so he uses the team skills to fool the healing department. It is not feasible to join the team. In this case, it can only be invited with tolerance'sincerity.

He got up and wandered around the square. After a while, he found a girl in a golden-white robe and a hood. The girl was petite and had a pair of beautiful amber pupils. When her eyes met, the girl immediately moved away. Open your eyes and guess blindly, this is Sovia or Fanny.

Su Xiao stopped in front of the hooded girl, and a crystal seat formed behind him. After he sat down, he looked at each other calmly. After a few seconds, the surrounding contractors all backed away and surrounded the place.

"She's Fanny."

Some of the onlookers spoke, apparently because they had an old grievance with Fanny. When she heard someone announce her name, Fanny gritted her teeth in hatred.

"It seems that my invitation confuses you."

Su Xiao opened her mouth. This kind of negotiation started, which surprised Fanny. She also thought that the other party would directly threaten something.

"It's... not bad."

Fanny forced a smile.

"Since it confuses you, it's a pity that we didn't have the chance to cooperate this time."

Su Xiao spoke again. If it was someone who knew him well, such as the two good teammates of the dog thieves, or the three sisters of Tianqi, they must have taken a big step back at this time. According to the theory of the three sisters of Tianqi, the longer Bai Ye said in a sentence, Regardless of the meaning of this sentence, in short, the longer it is said, the more dangerous it is, and it will be over.

"Also... no, my character is like this, stability is the first priority."

Fanny smiled very sweetly. The thought in her heart was that the rumors were not credible. The rumors about the reincarnated lunatic and Bai Ye who was like killing a god were quite reasonable when negotiating.

"Really, that's a pity."

Su Xiao stood up, but suddenly thought of something, he raised his hand to shake hands, and said: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Haha, I hope so."

Fanny hesitated for a while, and chose to hold Su Xiao's hand. After all, she shouldn't be too shameless, in case she encounters him in the mission world in the future.

hands together.

"Contract... signed."

Su Xiao looked at Fanny with a kind smile on her face. To be precise, it was Fanny whose pupils were constricting rapidly. Her ignorant and wide eyes were full of shock at the danger beyond her cognition.

Dozens of melon-eaters around, many of them stared wide-eyed and their defenses were not strong enough, were stunned on the spot, but the battle angel Zelina among them was very calm. The three teammates beside her have a huge psychological shadow area.

After successfully recruiting a nanny, Su Xiao walked out of the square, walked around a few times, and arrived at the trading market. The place was crowded with people, and the price of medicines soared due to the imminent start of the world war. However, compared with the previous few days, equipment and The price of skill scrolls has become lower, especially the price of skill scrolls is only 75% of the usual price.

The reason why the price of equipment has become lower is that many contractors have sold equipment that they were not willing to sell in the past, so as to stock up more potions and increase the survival rate in the battle.

Su Xiao found that the equipment price of Tianqi Paradise is almost the same as that of Reincarnation Paradise, which is:

Immortal equipment: 1900-7000 soul coins for one piece.

Origin-level equipment: 2 to 10 soul coins.

Eternal equipment: 10 to 50 soul coins.

Su Xiao still has 1100861 soul coins left, and he is going to buy an eternal-grade belt-like equipment, as well as a few pieces of the cheapest eternal-grade equipment, to be devoured by the "Endless Ring".

In the end, after shopping around, he found that there was no eternal-grade belt that he wanted, so he could only accept the offer from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, a full-rated eternal-grade belt, priced at 2800 ounces of power of time and space.

The price is very high, and Su Xiao has to repay the 85000 ounces of time and space power to the Reincarnation Paradise. However, without belt equipment, the growth of the entire world's progress will be lost, especially when entering the Dawn Ruins this time. In such a dangerous environment, the level of perception ability will definitely grow wildly.

Su Xiao replied to the Goblin Chamber of Commerce and paid 2800 ounces of space-time power, which promised to deliver the goods in a few hours.

After looking at all kinds of consumables, Su Xiao decided to keep 95000 soul coins, and use the rest to buy cheap enough eternal equipment. These 95000 soul coins are the materials for making three "sacred swords of the sun" Fees, and the contingency of 5000 soul coins.

Three hours later, Su Xiao returned to the exclusive room of the Reincarnation Paradise. After the space fluctuation subsided, he sat down on the single sofa. This time, he bought a total of 12 pieces of eternal-level equipment. It stands to reason that the cheapest eternal-level equipment also costs 10 yuan. There are not many such good things for one million soul coins.

Su Xiao took out the abyssal equipment [Endless Ring], he was holding the [Endless Ring] with one hand, and when he was about to pick up a piece of equipment for it to swallow, the [Endless Ring] received the signal of devouring equipment, and instantly put 12 pieces of eternal All the high-level equipment was devoured.

If Dragon Flash is said to be smashing and devouring weapons one by one, as if tasting delicious food, then [Endless Ring] is devouring like a glutton.

Compared with devouring, the digestion of [Endless Ring] is also fast. He checked the current attributes of [Endless Ring].

【Endless Ring】

Origin: Abyss.

Quality: Abyss level.

Type: Gain equipment.

Equipment effect 1: Serenity of life (passive), this equipment will bring 50 points of health bonus for every point scored.

Current HP bonus: 480000 points!
Equipment Effect 2: Endless Devour (Core·Passive), the Endless Ring can devour other equipment, and increase the rating limit of the Endless Ring according to the quality, rating, and strength of the devoured equipment.

Current rating cap bonus: 3600 points.

Equipment debuff: Indulgence in darkness (passive), during wearing this equipment, you will gradually be invaded by the darkness of the abyss, this erosion can be resisted by your abyss resistance, but the greater the gain brought by this equipment, the erosion The higher the strength.

Tip: 40 points of abyss resistance, which can resist the current erosion strength (your current abyss resistance is 95 points).

Score: 9600 points (under normal circumstances, the score of abyss level equipment is 1 to 6000 points).

Introduction: Darkness, always quiet, quietness leads to precipitation, precipitation brings decay, decay turns into nutrients, nutrients nourish life, in the center of darkness, the purest and most robust source of life is bred.

Selling Price: Unable to sell.

……

According to this estimate, a piece of eternal equipment can increase the equipment score of [Endless Ring] by 300 points, which is equivalent to 110 million soul coins, and an increase of 18 points of life.

In terms of Su Xiao's current combat power, this increase in blood earning, his life value has reached 390 million points, which is about to break through the 400 million point mark. As for the upper limit of 600 million points, it is still a bit short.

Su Xiao came to an empty room, took out the [Corrupt Bloodstone (source of filth/sealed item)], and chose to activate the sealed item, the next second.

【Calling in a row...】

[The Lord of the Old has been sensed. 】

After this reminder appeared, Su Xiao found that the surrounding ceiling and ground began to soften and distort at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming like flesh and blood turned outward.

Between these flesh and blood, one after another cracks emerged. Accompanied by the strange sound of opening, one eye after another viscously opened in the flesh and blood. These eyes are closely connected and of different sizes. Mental pollution.

For those whose willpower is not high enough, or whose soul is not strong enough, just one look is enough to produce hysterical claustrophobic despair, as if one's soul is trapped by the body, wishing to gouge out one's eyes, deafen one's ears, tear oneself apart The scalp, from which the soul drilled, went to the twisted freedom full of death, suffocation, and fear.

Extremely pure malice struck from above, this is the Lord of the Old, and it is also endless malice. The eyeballs on the wall and ceiling began to distort, squeezing each other into plasma, and all the blood gathered into a big hand, grabbing at Su Xiao. Come on, the sacrifice corresponding to the [Corruption Bloodstone] is actually the user himself.

This is the Paradise of Reincarnation. Of course, the Lord of the Old Ones can't do anything to Su Xiao, but he will always go to the mission world afterward. Impossible to be the opponent of the Old One.

A more intuitive comparison is that the old master and Maosheng's madness are at the opposite level, and Maosheng's madness confronts the abyss jar, and the result is five or five. Although the abyss jar is not the original sin of fighting, Maosheng's madness is Do warlike aliens exist?The answer is not the case, the power of Maosheng's frenzy is also in other aspects.

The big distorted hand of the old master came towards Su Xiao. At this moment, he took out the "Book of Original Sin" and made a gesture to hand it over to the old master. The big hand of the old master paused for a few seconds Finally, the sacrificial hand burst open. Did the Lord of the Old One back down?Not so, this is the lord of the old days admitting that this time it is not a sacrifice, but a transaction. This is the most difficult part of negotiating with the lord of the old days, obtaining qualifications.

Su Xiao took out the [Greedy Tree of Life] body, even though the Tree Spirit of the Tree of Life struggled frantically, kept admitting mistakes, and even begged for mercy, but Su Xiao ignored them all.

The eyeballs on the ground and ceiling began to distort, squeezing each other into blood plasma. These blood plasma gathered into a new sacrificial hand, grabbed the [Greedy Tree of Life], and held it in the palm of the hand. Amid the hysterical howling of the tree spirit , was absorbed by the Old One.

The two fingers of the sacrificial hand pierced into the side wall, and a heart-like dark red fruit was squeezed out from inside. Every time the fruit beats, the dark red on it will turn into bright red, and the roots of the heart fruit are as thin as hair. Silk's tentacles twisted wantonly, and what's even more curious is that an eye opened in the center of the heart.

"help me."

The heart fruit opened its mouth and spoke the language of the abyss. This is not a tree spirit. The tree spirit has disappeared. It is an ancient and evil thing.

Ka Ka Ka ~
Su Xiao clings to the crystal layer on his right hand, and catches the heart fruit handed over by the Old Master with one hand. The flesh and eyeballs on the surrounding walls and ceiling fade away, which makes the eyes on the heart fruit narrowed evilly, and a shadow emerges below. Opening a mouth that is not very big, but full of fangs, it smiled.

"You are very, lucky to have me in return..."

Heart Fruit Speaking of this, he glanced at the "Book of Original Sin" in Su Xiao's hand from the corner of his eye, which made his mouth, which was gradually showing an evil smile, disappear immediately.

Evil Heart finally out of trouble?Thinking about it too much, this is a typical case of just getting out of the tiger's mouth and then entering the wolf's den, but he didn't die in the hands of the old master. This evil heart must have a strong tolerance, and the follow-up negotiations will not go well. Lock him in and try try.

Su Xiao glanced at the remaining stay time, the Lord of the Old One seemed to come for a while, but at this time there were only a few hours left, and he was about to enter the Battlefield of Dawn, but the good news was that the burning of the two titles was completed.

[Mysterious Scholar's title burning is completed. 】

[You get the Scholar of Original Sin (Extreme Burning · 1 time). 】

[The title of the old hunter has been refined. 】

[You get the old hunter (extreme burning · 2 times). 】

……

　I didn’t get home until after six o’clock in the evening. I asked for a day off yesterday. I thought that I would not ask for leave today. I wrote that it was late at night, but I finished writing before morning, so I was so sleepy.go to bed.Good night, grandpa, readers.
