High Charm would be absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this aura had its advantages—if he joined a villainous faction, he’d be highly favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luck dropped by three points, it would turn negative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, his situation would mirror “Final Destination”—constant, imminent danger of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Main Quest (2) must be completed; besides, completing it granted one attribute point and 1,500 Paradise Coins—a significant reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he must complete the Hunting Quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lunhuileyuan  didn’t list rewards for the Hunting Quest, but Su Xiao felt the payoff must be substantial—he was helping the Lunhuileyuan  eliminate threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, continue searching for ghoul gathering spots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits of last night’s large-scale ghoul hunt had shown him the value—he wouldn’t waste time hunting ghouls one by one; the returns were too meager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was far more efficient to find large ghoul gathering spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding such spots wasn’t easy; the obvious ones were too terrifying—like the ghoul hubs in Districts One through Four, each housing hundreds or even thousands of ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Xiao dared not approach such mega-gatherings; if a thousand ghouls charged him at once—even if all were B-rank—they could wear him down and kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghoul gathering numbers should ideally stay under one hundred; beyond that, Su Xiao couldn’t handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night’s bloodless slaughter of dozens of ghouls succeeded only because they didn’t swarm him all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting one opponent is entirely different from fighting a hundred; as the saying goes, two fists can’t fend off four hands—Su Xiao was still flesh and blood, he could be wounded, and wounded, he could die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he needed to return to the ‘Helterskelter’ bar—Yi Niao likely had this intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, he wouldn’t demand information through threats—that wasn’t sustainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even rabbits bite when cornered, let alone Yi Niao, an SS-rank ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the phone from the coffee table and dialed Shinohara Akira’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘White Night Second Class, you’re awake.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira’s voice was crisp and cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘How did the matter go?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Handled. The headquarters took possession of the ghoul corpses; if nothing goes wrong, I’ll receive a new Quinque.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira’s bell-like laughter echoed through the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘White Night Second Class, what will you do with the Kakuja from those ghouls? You eliminated them—you have the right to claim them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao paused. His current contribution points were: 【Second-Class Investigator, Contribution: 390\u002F400.】 He needed just ten more points to advance to First-Class Investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Submit two-thirds to headquarters; use the remaining third to acquire something for me there.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao exchanged two-thirds of the Kakuja for contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing what Su Xiao wanted, Shinohara Akira froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘That item? Alright~ I’ll report it to the higher-ups—but headquarters has very little stock; it’s only used when crafting Quinque.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira was now eager to assist Su Xiao; partnering with him boosted both his achievements and combat skills rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call ended. An hour later, Shinohara Akira returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Got it. The branch still had one left—but White Night Second Class, I’m curious: what are you planning to do with this? For humans, it’s extremely dangerous—it’s a deadly poison.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira held a small metal case, handling it with extreme care, as if it contained something fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Some things are better left unknown.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao took the metal case and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Careful~.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the case opened, Shinohara Akira instinctively stepped back two paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the contents were safe, Su Xiao closed the case and stored it in his inventory space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made no effort to hide it from Shinohara Akira, who showed no surprise at its sudden disappearance—as if it were perfectly natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Lunhuileyuan ’s camouflage mechanism, integrating abilities seamlessly into the ghoul world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Let’s go back to that bar.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira had many questions but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xiao said: some things were better left unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao could trade with ghouls; Shinohara Akira never could—it was a matter of principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the ‘Helterskelter’ bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, Su Xiao left Shinohara Akira in the car and entered the bar alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Welcome to—’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Niao began automatically, then fell silent upon seeing Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yi Niao’s eyes, Su Xiao was a plague-bringer; last night’s purge of countless ghouls in the West District had deepened his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Don’t be nervous. I’m here only to make a deal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out the metal case and withdrew a test tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test tube was elegant—ten centimeters long, thumb-thick, filled with a pale red translucent liquid, bubbles churning within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of the test tube, Yi Niao swallowed hard, his gaze locked and unmovable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghouls rarely obtained such items—but nearly all ghouls craved them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: (New week—please vote for recommendations~.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4f10b73341e6f3dc6d7577803803eb423233084c9758824b0d16ff3dbade6fd7","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-50","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-48",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
