I should’ve paid more attention to my tone.” The little girl stopped acting cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about a deal? I’ll help you understand the Cycle Paradise, and you pay me 50 Paradise Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao desperately needed to understand the Cycle Paradise, and the fake Connor was clearly the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. How do I pay you the Paradise Coins?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s straightforwardness surprised the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid I’ll cheat you? There are plenty of con artists in the Cycle Paradise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon Slash] appeared in Su Xiao’s hand; he glared at the little girl with icy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you cheat me, I’ll kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl let out a light laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely a newbie. Outside the Arena, Contractees can't attack each other anywhere in Cycle Paradise—this is a safe zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Then it should be possible in the derivative worlds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s chilling gaze made the little girl step back several paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, we’re not enemies. I won’t cheat you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s icy stare made her heart pound—this guy was dangerous, the kind who killed without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind raced; she decided to back off and not do business with Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding, you’ve received 50 Paradise Coins from Contracted One 13013.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl’s face immediately fell, gazing at Su Xiao with a plaintive look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too crowded here. Let’s go to a cold drink shop to talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl sighed helplessly and walked ahead; Su Xiao followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh~ I didn’t want to do business with you, but since you’ve already paid, I’ll introduce myself—I’m Xi Luoluo, an employee of the Cycle Paradise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Employee? Su Xiao was puzzled but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Xi Luoluo brought Su Xiao to a cold drink shop whose name was bizarre: [Cat and Dog].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to… oh, it’s little Xi? You’ve brought in a new client?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sensual, mature woman stepped forward—her chest was full, her legs long, she wore black stockings and high heels, making her height nearly match Su Xiao’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I’ll have watermelon juice. What about you, sir?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plain water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao answered casually—he wouldn’t drink anything offered by a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—we’re employees, unlike you Contracted Ones. We don’t have that many ulterior motives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao tapped the table lightly with his index finger. “What’s an employee?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo cleared her throat and began explaining; soon, Su Xiao understood what an employee was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Cycle Paradise, there were two most numerous types of people: the first were Contracted Ones, the second were employees like Xi Luoluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contracted Ones had to frequently undertake dangerous missions, but employees were different—they were service staff within the Cycle Paradise, selling goods or working in food and beverage services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Employees were former Contracted Ones who failed their first world mission and were disqualified; without them, Contracted Ones couldn’t even eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, the Cycle Paradise doesn’t offer exchange services—daily necessities all rely on these employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One advantage of becoming an employee is that you only need to enter a derivative world once every two months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo feared Su Xiao because she too had to enter derivative worlds; if she unluckyly encountered him, with her “heartwarming” combat power, she had zero chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo pulled out a transparent tablet and handed it to Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the specific information about the Cycle Paradise is here. Take a look—it’s certified by the Cycle Paradise, no fraud guaranteed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao took the tablet; it radiated advanced tech, capable of projecting 3D holographic images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gradually learned the general situation of the Cycle Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cycle Paradise was vast; no one had ever counted its population, but it was certainly over 100,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one counted because the death rate among Contracted Ones was extremely high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Xi Luoluo’s data, the death rate in the first world was 80%, the second world 60%, the third world 50%, and the numbers kept dropping—Su Xiao didn’t bother reading further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this terrifying death rate, one could see how hard it was for Contracted Ones to survive in the Cycle Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most shops in the Cycle Paradise were run by employees, maintaining the daily needs of Contracted Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the central area of the Cycle Paradise, there were over a dozen buildings operated by the Cycle Paradise itself, including the Attribute Enhancement Hall mentioned earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dozen buildings were vital to Contracted Ones—any improvement in strength was tied directly to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the last entry on the tablet, Su Xiao set it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It says here that Contracted Ones can stay in the Cycle Paradise for three days before being sent back to the real world to wait for the next mission—does that mean I can return to the real world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo bit her straw and tucked the tablet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. After completing one derivative world, each Contracted One can stay in the Cycle Paradise for three days, then the Cycle Paradise teleports them back to the real world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, after returning to the real world, they’d stay about a week before receiving another summons from the Cycle Paradise to return and begin the next derivative world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Xi Luoluo’s face darkened, gazing at Su Xiao with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Employees differed from Contracted Ones—they could return to the real world only three days per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really miss my family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo propped her chin on both hands, pouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, one more thing: you can use the Cycle Paradise to conceal your appearance, to avoid retaliation or assassination by other Contracted Ones in the real world—and to prevent endangering your family. It’s a bloody lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This face of mine? I modified it through the Cycle Paradise—it cost me 500 Paradise Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao merely grunted, not caring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you hiding your appearance? You can do it now.” Xi Luoluo looked at Su Xiao in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need. I have no one to drag into this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s reply silenced Xi Luoluo—this sharp-witted little girl dared not rub salt into his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve seen the data, so the deal’s done. Let me give you a friendly warning: in derivative worlds, don’t provoke the Mage Lords—they’re monsters, walking artillery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Luoluo shrank her neck, her expression wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mage Lords? Are mages that strong in the Cycle Paradise?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint, almost imperceptible smile on Su Xiao’s lips made Xi Luoluo shake her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just strong—they’re super strong. Every expedition team recruits Mage Lords without limit. You know, I’ve been through two derivative worlds, and both times I paid to hire Mage Lords for protection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao nodded, his mind unsettled—he was now the Death of Magic Shadow, the natural enemy of mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt a strange anticipation—would those Mage Lords still seem so powerful before him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had just received the inheritance of the Death of Magic Shadow and didn’t yet understand the full power of this profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the question wasn’t whether Mage Lords were stronger than him—it was whether they could survive meeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","522e53b84995a4a66a030f3aa7619a32894773a1cf044fb8e18464f0979072bd","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-26","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-24",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
