Chapter 31

After some screening, Su Xiao settled on a residence. That afternoon, he arrived at the complex where the residence was located.

It was a slightly dilapidated complex on the edge of the city, but fortunately, the transportation was quite convenient.

The complex seemed a bit desolate, with only a few elderly people sitting together playing chess.

Older complexes were usually like this, with mostly elderly people, but the greenery here was good. Compared to the polluted air in the city center, it was clearly much better.

From a distance, Su Xiao saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes, seemingly waiting for something, checking his watch from time to time.

Su Xiao walked up. The young man noticed him approaching, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came over.

"Hello, are you Mr. Su? I'm Xiao Ji, an agent from Sunshine Housing Network."

Su Xiao nodded. He was currently using the alias Su Xiao; this name had a legal identity, with an ID card and everything else complete. His tickets, phone card, and other items were all obtained using this identity.

In this day and age, without a legal identity, it was impossible to move an inch.

"It's me. Take me to see the house."

Agent Xiao Ji's attitude immediately became enthusiastic, and he began to introduce the housing to Su Xiao.

"Mr. Su, to be honest, a monthly rent of 800 is a very cost-effective price. With the current real estate prospects in DL City, if your funds are sufficient, buying this residence is also a very good choice..."

The enthusiastic introduction began, and Su Xiao responded with a smile.

He wouldn't buy this place. As a wanted criminal, how long he could live here was an unknown; he was ready to run at any time.

Although his strength had skyrocketed and he didn't care about the police, that didn't mean he could ignore the power of the state.

The police only maintained urban order; the true power of the state was the military.

If the military really came to surround Su Xiao, he could only choose to avoid their edge. The military in the real world was different from the rabble in the Pirate World.

The real world had advanced technology, and the military's weapons and equipment were even more advanced. Unless his attributes all exceeded 30 points, he couldn't confront the military head-on.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Reincarnation Paradise, the Paradise didn't want contractors to interfere with the real world; this might be the foundation of the Reincarnation Paradise.

According to Su Xiao's previous observations, most contractors should come from the real world, which is why the Reincarnation Paradise avoided contractors interfering with the real world.

While Su Xiao was deep in thought, he had already arrived in front of the door.

"This is it, Mr. Su. Please."

Agent Xiao Ji opened the door, but his movements were hurried, as if he were in a rush.

"Do you have something urgent to deal with?"

Su Xiao examined Agent Xiao Ji's expression; there was nothing abnormal, just a bit of anxiety.

"It's nothing, I just need to use the restroom. Sorry, Mr. Su."

Su Xiao walked into the room. What met his eyes was a spacious living room that had already been renovated, and the renovation was quite good—a cozy style, very suitable for long-term living.

Su Xiao toured the room. The ventilation was good, it faced the sun, and all kinds of facilities were complete. He didn't need to prepare anything and could move in directly.

Tapping the walls, Su Xiao roughly judged the thickness. The walls of this old-style complex were generally very thick, which meant better soundproofing.

"Not bad. I'll rent this place."

Agent Xiao Ji's face lit up with joy; this was a commission.

"Alright then, Mr. Su. Because the price is quite favorable, the minimum lease here is one year. This is the contract; please take a look."

Su Xiao checked the contract; there were no problems. He paid the money and signed it. He had officially rented the house.

After everything was finished, Agent Xiao Ji politely said goodbye to Su Xiao, but the agent's subsequent actions were a bit strange.

Agent Xiao Ji first opened the door, and after confirming there was no one in the hallway, he hurried away.

This scene fell into Su Xiao's eyes. He had felt this agent was a bit strange earlier.

Now it seemed that it wasn't the house that had a problem, but that some people lived in this building who made this agent afraid.

"Interesting."

Su Xiao chuckled. The housing with a rent of 100,000 he encountered earlier was already bizarre, and now he had rented a place in an 'extraordinary' complex.

But Su Xiao didn't care about these things. He himself was a wanted criminal; would he be afraid of others? That's a fantasy.

Su Xiao sat on the sofa in the living room, suddenly not knowing what to do.

He had killed his last enemy, and he was now in another city, so revenge had to be temporarily postponed—a helpless move.

Although he now had superhuman strength, it didn't mean he could walk sideways.

Revenge wasn't something that could be accomplished with a hot head. He had endured for three years; he could wait a little longer.

Moreover, Su Xiao believed that as his strength gradually grew, he would have more ways to find his enemies.

Gradually calming down, Su Xiao began to plan for the future.

A stable residence had been found; the next thing was to wait for the summons of the Reincarnation Paradise and improve his strength within it.

"Buzz~, buzz."

The phone suddenly vibrated. Someone was calling Su Xiao; he didn't have the habit of using ringtones.

Picking up the phone, it displayed 'Unknown Number'. Su Xiao answered the phone without speaking.

"Friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly; it was the voice of the man with the 100,000 rent.

"Renting your house is too much trouble. Hanging up."

After saying that, Su Xiao made a move to hang up.

"Wait." The voice on the phone was slightly hurried, and Su Xiao's finger paused in mid-air.

"Friend, we're all risking our lives in the Paradise. How about we meet?"

Su Xiao stood up with a 'whoosh'. The 'Paradise' the other party mentioned reminded him of the Reincarnation Paradise.

"Not interested."

Su Xiao's voice was flat, but he suddenly felt something abnormal. Why had he made that call earlier?

Although he wasn't short on money, a rent of 100,000 seemed too outrageous now. He wasn't a fool with too much money.

Thoughts swirled in his mind. At this moment, Su Xiao realized that the rental ad might have a problem. He had actually dialed the other party's number as if possessed; at the time, his thought was that 100,000 wasn't much and the quality of the house must be good.

But now, that seemed completely outrageous.

Hypnosis? No, Su Xiao immediately denied this view. He had seen hypnosis before, and it was never this magical. That ad was similar to a kind of psychological suggestion.

"Don't be ungrateful. Come see me immediately, or I'll destroy you sooner or later."

The man on the phone had begun to threaten him openly.

"The howling of a hyena. Harsh words should be said when stepping on the enemy's head, not on the phone."

After saying that, Su Xiao hung up, not worried at all about the other party tracking his location.

The phone he was using now had cost a fortune and could block tracking.

In a small courtyard in a suburban area, a shirtless, burly man sat on a small stool, his face twisted as he gripped the phone.

"Old Five, did the higher-ups track the location of this phone?"

The burly man roared, pulling at his scar-covered face.

A thin figure darted out of a bungalow in a few steps.

"Boss, the other party has a big background and is completely anti-tracking. It might be someone from the military. The reply from the higher-ups is to give up."

The scarred man's gaze became noticeably fiercer.

"Give up? Do you know how many Paradise Coins I spent to get that ad? A full 10,000. Those psychological mages are really damn black-hearted."

Although the scarred man said this, he had already given up halfway in his heart.

That ad could only be seen by contractors, and contractors with an Intelligence attribute over 20 points could be immune. The other party only called him once, indicating that the other party's Intelligence attribute shouldn't be low.

If the other party was a mage~, the scarred man felt a chill in his heart and didn't want to continue provoking Su Xiao.

After Su Xiao signed the contract with the Reincarnation Paradise, the true appearance of the real world began to gradually reveal itself before him.

Although the Reincarnation Paradise didn't support contractors interfering with the real world, under the temptation of huge profits, there were always people who would take risks.

What they didn't know was that there was an existence in the Reincarnation Paradise called a Hunter, specifically tasked with dealing with them.
