Lead me out of here, and these biscuits are all yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia, having finished the biscuit in her hand, stared fixedly at the remaining biscuits in Su Xiao’s hand and swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, but you can’t hurt me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t answer. He rummaged through the ruined house and emerged; Mia, now somewhat recovered, followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you going? You’re not a resident of the Waste End Station, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao suddenly stopped walking. Cold light flashed in his eyes. He dropped one of the compressed biscuits on the ground and crushed it under his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lead me out of here. Don’t ask anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mia showed any sign of anomaly, Su Xiao’s gun hand would instantly aim at her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia flinched at Su Xiao’s action and stepped back several paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“O-okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia dared not speak again and hurried ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me to the entrance of the Goya Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao scanned the surroundings warily. He occasionally spotted drifters with murderous glares; upon noticing his gun, they immediately retracted their greedy stares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling information from the anime, Su Xiao began formulating his next strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Waste End Station was, in fact, a massive landfill, created because the Goya Kingdom dumped vast quantities of household waste outside its walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those drifters with murderous glares had once been residents of the Goya Kingdom—either convicted of serious crimes or offended nobles, they had been banished here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After decomposition, the garbage emitted a toxic green smoke that spread across the Waste End Station, constantly eroding the drifters’ lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearest sign was that Su Xiao’s health had dropped from 100% to 98%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no doctors, no food in the Waste End Station. Crime and disease spread unchecked. This was a lawless zone where strength alone determined everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by Mia, Su Xiao quickly exited the Waste End Station and arrived before a towering wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high wall of black stone rose before him; a small gate appeared in his line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only take you this far. The Goya Kingdom has laws—drifters are forbidden from entering the city. If caught, they’re executed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though speaking to Su Xiao, Mia’s eyes never left the compressed biscuits in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao tossed the remaining biscuits to Mia, then ignored her. Mia ran off immediately—she had only led him because of the food, nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate of the Goya Kingdom stood wide open, with several guards stationed on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was merely a side gate, used for dumping garbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the guards appeared lazy, their eyes occasionally flashed with cold menace—they had likely killed many times, eliminating drifters who tried to sneak into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao hid nearby, not rushing to enter. He waited for the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting the guards directly was impossible. The residents of this pirate world possessed extraordinary physical strength; even after being struck hard, the girl Mia had recovered quickly—this made Su Xiao wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao guessed the guards’ attributes were at least ten points or higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour, two hours—until three hours later, midday arrived. The temperature soared, the air grew scorching. The opportunity Su Xiao had waited for finally appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cart loaded with household waste rolled out of the city, its foul stench drifting far. The guards didn’t even glance at it; instead, they instinctively stepped back a few paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Excellencies, shall we perform the routine inspection?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver halted the cart, visibly fearful of the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get moving. It stinks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards waved their hands in annoyance, showing no intention to inspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this from afar, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow and swiftly followed the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving deep into the garbage mountain, the cart stopped at an open space to dump its load. The driver, who had been meek moments before, now had a dagger strapped to his waist—survival of the fittest was the rule of the Waste End Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting a cigarette to mask the stench, the driver picked up a shovel and began scrubbing the filthy cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the driver sweated profusely, Su Xiao slipped behind him like a wild cat. Just as he prepared to knock the driver unconscious, his foot crushed a half-broken glass cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.” The sharp sound made the driver flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was startled too. In the filthy Waste End Station, the ground was buried under deep layers of garbage—soft and yielding, impossible to sense what lay beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the arrow was on the string—he had no choice. Su Xiao lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was no innocent man. He spun around, drew his dagger, and stabbed straight at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver’s murderous expression made it clear—he wanted Su Xiao dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s gaze turned icy. In this mission world, it was kill or be killed. Mercy toward an enemy was cruelty toward oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his flintlock pistol, Su Xiao aimed the barrel at the driver’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any ordinary person would have frozen or retreated at the sight of a gun—but this driver didn’t. He lunged even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled the trigger without expression. The hammer struck the flint, sparks flew. The gunpowder in the barrel ignited. In the confined space, the explosive charge detonated, releasing immense kinetic energy. Flames and smoke burst outward as the bullet shot forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick smoke rose, the acrid stench of gunpowder spreading. A lead bullet pierced the driver’s skull. His forward momentum halted instantly. He was thrown back two meters, twitched twice, then died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Prompt: You killed a black-market merchant.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Your talent “Soul Eater” activated. Permanent +5 Mana. Current Mana: 65.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You obtained a Chest (White).】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This is your first kill. Storage Space unlocked (2 sqm). After returning to the Lunhuileyuan , you may use Paradise Coins to upgrade its size.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lunhuileyuan ’s prompt told Su Xiao this wasn’t a driver at all—he was a black-market merchant, using the driver’s identity to conduct some trade within the Waste End Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the black-market merchant died, a wooden chest floated above his corpse. It was white, no larger than a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao tried to pick up the floating chest. Though small, it felt unnaturally heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chest (White). Open? Yes\u002FNo.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao did not open the Chest. Instead, he placed the Chest and the 【Rusty Flintlock Pistol】 into his Storage Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the 【Rusty Flintlock Pistol】 appeared in his hand. Su Xiao was satisfied with the new Storage Space—it was an extremely practical ability. If used well, it would greatly aid his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was unsafe. Su Xiao chose not to open the 【White Chest】. If opening it unleashed a blinding golden light, he’d be in danger. His priority now was entering the capital of the Goya Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao took off his shirt and donned the black-market merchant’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s hesitation, he threw himself onto the ground in a pool of filth. The stench rose as sewage coated his clothes and face, obscuring his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at the front of the cart, Su Xiao clumsily guided the horse toward the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand now was a dagger—the same one the black-market merchant had carried—but it was different from what he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1d9c52d5d968bb53e8f875f0eb731b4227603c182f8e88b53afcdd1c6a13a759","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-6","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-4",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
