As soon as he stepped through the door, his vision blurred; when he regained his senses, he stood inside a steel cubicle of just a few square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click. Click~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical sounds echoed around him, and a screen appeared before Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome to the Attribute Enhancement Chamber. Please pay the activation fee: 100 Paradise Coins.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already known this: everyone entering the Attribute Enhancement Hall was randomly teleported into an enhancement chamber and then required to pay to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying 100 Paradise Coins, a prompt appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength: 12 - 1 (equipment bonuses temporarily inactive)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agility: 10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stamina: 6\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligence: 12\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charm: 3\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hunter may allocate attribute points freely.

After some thought, he allocated one point to Strength and the remaining three to Agility, achieving balanced stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Enhancement begins.

This function is free.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao answered decisively; Xi Luoluo had casually mentioned that it was best not to use the anesthesia function during attribute enhancement, as it could impair the enhancement effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, most contract holders chose anesthesia, because the sensation of enhancement was unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become stronger than others, one must endure what others cannot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enhancement chamber began operating, and a pain deeper than bone pierced through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder others choose anesthesia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s skin gradually reddened, cold sweat beaded on his forehead; the sensation of attribute enhancement was undeniably intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, drenched in sweat, Su Xiao stepped out of the Attribute Enhancement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the pain during enhancement was excruciating, once he endured the initial agony, the gradual feeling of growing stronger was quite satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how others felt, but he loved this sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only strength earned through hardship was truly reliable; he would never choose the anesthesia function—not today, not ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Xi Luoluo had only mentioned it in passing; aside from a tiny fraction of “freaks,” most contract holders chose anesthesia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enhancement, Su Xiao’s base stats became: Strength 12, Agility 13, Intelligence 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the bonus from 【Wife’s Pendant】, his Strength also reached 13, matching his Agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Su Xiao was now much stronger, he was not satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden surge in all his attributes left him unable to adapt—he even walked awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind had not yet adjusted to his powerful body; this required extensive training, with no shortcuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not a problem; the Cycle Paradise’s 【Trial Grounds】 were his best option right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the 【Trial Grounds】 ahead and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since leaving the derivative world, he had not rested at all; in the derivative world, he had to constantly guard against dangers, making peaceful rest impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating the brand on his arm, Su Xiao vanished from the spot and reappeared in his personal room—the perk provided by the Cycle Paradise: whenever he was within the Cycle Paradise, he could return to his personal room at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comfortable temperature of his personal room made Su Xiao drowsy; lying on the slightly soft floor, he fell into deep sleep within five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prolonged mental strain from the derivative world had finally overwhelmed him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","487b804590867f5e430403686e451d3686466926fa0af51f6c6700f7fab860cb","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-27","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-25",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
