White Night’s team is being reckless—even if they’re strong, they can’t fight so many ghouls alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes had passed; the auction house, once filled with constant screams, had fallen eerily silent, leaving Shinohara Akira unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shinohara Akira was growing frantic, Su Xiao’s weary voice came through his Bluetooth earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in. Begin clearing the auction house—and prepare for firefighting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firefighting? Shinohara Akira was puzzled, but still ordered her team to open the back door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The back door swung open, and Shinohara Akira led a large group of search officers rushing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the auction house, Shinohara Akira smelled the heavy stench of blood, her elegant brow furrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira quickened her pace, sprinting toward the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night… First-Class…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before her froze her in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of ghoul corpses lay piled haphazardly; atop the heap sat a man smoking a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brutality of the sight made Shinohara Akira instinctively step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira had seen many corpses before, but never anything like this—this scene belonged only to ancient battlefield carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shinohara Akira moved closer to Su Xiao, she suddenly slipped on the ground, nearly falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down: the floor was slick with a thick layer of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you standing there for? Start clearing the bodies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao flicked away his cigarette butt and sheathed his already-cleaned Dragon-Slaying Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara Akira instinctively straightened her posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other search officers were equally stunned by the sight, but their psychological resilience was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pulled out numerous body bags and began removing the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stretched his aching body; he had reached his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of ghouls exceeded one hundred, he would struggle; if it surpassed two hundred, he would surely die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the auction house lights went out, he used his night-vision gear to seize the initiative and deliver a crushing first strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the two S-class ghouls failed to unite—if they had led the others against Su Xiao, today’s outcome would not have been this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though tonight’s situation seemed perilous, Su Xiao had not acted without a plan: at his signal, a large force of ghoul search officers would have stormed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident he could hold out for a long time under a swarm of ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao understood his strengths: his attack power was overwhelming, his combat experience vast; in one-on-one combat, he could unleash tremendous power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in group battles, his low vitality stat meant his health pool was thin, making him slightly weaker in mass combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one is perfect in this world. Su Xiao already balanced three attributes evenly; if he further developed vitality, his overall growth rate would slow, causing him to fall behind other Contract Holders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was a Hunter—he must outpace his peers, otherwise how could he hunt his targets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in a CCG vehicle, Su Xiao watched the search officers clearing the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cleaning the auction house thoroughly would take more time; he could rest now and recover his HP—his HP was down to 27%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a [Golden Fried Rice], a recovery food in its inert state, requiring activation before consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He selected to activate [Golden Fried Rice]; the outer film cracked and dissolved into air, and the fried rice suddenly steamed hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange, enticing aroma filled the air; Su Xiao involuntarily swallowed. This food looked delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out pre-prepared chopsticks and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rice grains were wrapped in soft egg, slightly firm, perfectly textured; due to masterful cooking, the fragrance of rice and egg blended seamlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one bite, Su Xiao couldn’t help but take a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Golden Fried Rice was unbelievably delicious—worth every bit of its origin in the world of Food Wars. Delicious to the point of sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao suddenly wondered: should he kidnap a chef from the Food Wars world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled and shook his head; the cost didn’t justify the reward. Improving his strength mattered more—once he was powerful enough, delicious food would always be within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, he finished the entire portion of Golden Fried Rice, not a single grain left, still craving more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After downing a bottle of mineral water in a few gulps, Su Xiao leaned back contentedly in his seat—what could be more blissful than a hearty meal after battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm sensation spread through his stomach; his HP slowly recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his HP restored, his wounds began healing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that smell? So good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suyu Jizo ran over, sniffing the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jizo, get in the vehicle. We’re returning to the branch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Suyu Jizo had a strange personality, he still followed orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you eating? Can I have some?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suyu Jizo’s head popped up between the seats, grinning at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, I’ll treat you all to a feast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d need these men to accompany him in clearing District 14; cultivating goodwill was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had purged many ghouls; CCG regulations granted substantial bounties for ghoul eliminations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense—ghoul search officers faced extreme danger, and their salaries were enviable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismissing Suyu Jizo, Su Xiao began analyzing the battle’s gains and losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battle earned him 372 Contribution Points; his total now read: [First-Class Search Officer, Contribution: 897\u002F2000]. He still needed 1103 points to complete the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He obtained one Green Chest, yet despite killing over a hundred ghouls, not a single White Chest dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him wonder if he had an “African” tendency—meaning terrible luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout his looting, aside from specific items, he’d never obtained anything truly valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Slaying Blade (White) was seized, not opened from a chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Small Soul Crystal was obtained only because the monster’s level far exceeded his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evil Roar (Green) came from the Gecko’s chest—remember, Gecko was a major plot-driving character; killing him yielded plenty of “World Source.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he only received one Green Ring rated at 21.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sighed—he suddenly realized he had the makings of a “Chief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he wasn’t super cursed; at best, he was just average in luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a wry smile and stopped dwelling on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpses in the auction house were fully cleared by 1 a.m.; after the CCG search officers regrouped, the convoy began returning to the branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was undoubtedly a glorious victory: zero casualties on their side, total annihilation of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many search officers wore smiles, their gazes toward Su Xiao filled with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy drove through the midnight streets, empty and silent under the dim yellow lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao, leaning back in the passenger seat, suddenly felt an inexplicable dread—as if he stood at the edge of a bottomless abyss, his body tilting forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger was approaching from below!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t hesitate—he yanked open the car door and jumped out, rolling once on the asphalt before regaining his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another figure jumped out with him: Suyu Jizo, the clever white-haired boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicle Su Xiao had been riding in exploded violently, launching into the air and tumbling several times before crashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive crater appeared on the road—the explosives weren’t under the car, but buried beneath the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames shot skyward; a strange burnt odor mixed with gunpowder filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao immediately recognized it: the scent of polyisobutylene combustion—someone had planted C4 plastic explosives along his route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Contract Holder was lying in wait to kill him—but thinking a single bomb could eliminate him outright? That was pure fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Slaying Blade appeared in his hand; Su Xiao scanned his surroundings warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had rested over an hour in the car; his stamina was 80% restored, and his HP, boosted by three recovery meals, was fully replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had anticipated a Contract Holder might attack him—he just didn’t know when.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his HP was critically low, he’d spent expensive recovery food precisely to prepare for this contingency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was clear his actions were correct; otherwise, in his previous state, he would have been dead for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7ee8e0c28e25a39fd444ba3a12beca79c2813655e3997756a6ced9a2047768d1","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-57","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-55",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
