Back so early today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards’ familiar tone made Su Xiao’s hairs stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guards likely knew the black market merchant’s identity—perhaps even had a vested interest in him; things were getting complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, I just left the city today—Toby’s crew robbed me, uh~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s voice was muffled, mixed with repeated retching—he spoke differently from the driver, so he deliberately mimicked this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the stench of sewage on his clothes, the guards didn’t suspect him; instead, they moved a distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Toby? Are they looking for death? They dared rob you? Don’t they know who you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard before Su Xiao seemed furious, but another guard beside him said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, Toby’s power has expanded rapidly lately. From my informants, Toby just wiped out Rogil’s crew—now, outside the Bursam Pirates, no faction in Scrap End Station surpasses Toby.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just let it go? What about the money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards exchanged glances; though all felt resentment, they had no way to deal with Toby, who hid within Scrap End Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… forget it. Next time if something like this happens, don’t come back—just ‘live’ in Scrap End Station.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao feigned submissive nodding, but his eyes remained coldly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more critical the moment, the calmer one must be—many failures occur from overconfidence just before success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao urged the horse forward; the old brown mare trudged reluctantly ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before Su Xiao left, one guard leaned down to check beneath the cart—common tactic to prevent stowaways from sneaking into the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had never considered hiding under the cart; instead, he killed the driver and replaced him—risky, but exploited the guards’ blind spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The garbage cart slowly passed through the gate, moving steadily forward—three meters, five meters, ten meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Carlos, wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guard’s shout came from behind; Su Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, then immediately returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've taken care of your nephew's matter—bring enough \"goodwill,\" and you can report to the guard unit today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard raised one hand, rubbing his thumb and middle finger together—the so-called \"goodwill\" meant money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao nodded quickly, pretending to thank him, but burst into another fit of retching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go on, you stink so bad I can smell you from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao wouldn’t miss this chance—he grabbed the whip beside him and lashed the old horse’s rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp crack echoed; the old horse neighed in pain and quickened its pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infiltration succeeded—Su Xiao had safely blended into the capital of the Goa Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had safer methods to infiltrate the capital, they required time—he didn’t have much left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from the guards’ fragmented words, he gathered several useful pieces of intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the current timeline is before the original protagonist Monkey D. Luffy sets sail—meaning Luffy is still a child, or perhaps not yet born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conclusion was based on the guard’s mention of the Bursam Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Xiao remembered correctly, the Bursam Pirates were the ones who fought young Luffy and Ace in the fire in the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original, the Bursam Pirates were manipulated by the Goa Kingdom’s king, who personally set fire to Scrap End Station, then abandoned them to burn alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, a very unexpected gain—perhaps this was the key to Su Xiao’s mission success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One phrase from the guard earlier filled Su Xiao with joy: \"I've taken care of your nephew's matter—bring enough 'goodwill,' and you can report to the guard unit today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the dead black market merchant had made a deal with the guard—buying a position in the guard unit with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Xiao impersonated the man’s nephew and joined the guard unit, he would be one step closer to his assassination target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though risky, it was currently the best option—the “Cycle Paradise” gave him no identity; he was merely an undocumented outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao drove the cart along the streets of the Goa Kingdom’s capital; since they had just entered the outer district, this was merely a civilian residential zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civilian streets were relatively clean, lined with vendors hawking their wares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowds of civilians strolled leisurely through the streets, making the city bustling—but some bore weary, anxious expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference between these civilians and the refugees outside the walls was that they wouldn’t starve—but they barely scraped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pirate World was in an age of chaos, filled with war and roaming pirates, so civilians lived in relative poverty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed through the noisy streets, Su Xiao felt as if he had stepped into another world—this wasn’t a mission world, but a real one, filled with living, breathing humans, not mere NPCs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the guards’ vigilance alone, Su Xiao realized they were far from careless—if he hadn’t prepared thoroughly and reacted swiftly, he would have been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never underestimate anyone in a mission world, Su Xiao warned himself silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now his priority was to find a place to clean himself—and he must open the [Chest (White)] he had obtained, using every resource he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At only Lv.1, Su Xiao was struggling desperately in this Lv.6, Nightmare-difficulty world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0b663f0631f71e6c80941e6c2e1f7a49bee719eeede9fd8b21c70938dc6b7fd4","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-7","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-5",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
