Chapter 7

The scorching sun was in the sky, burning the earth. The high temperature of up to 30 degrees made the pedestrians on the street gradually sparse.

Su Xiao walked on the street under the scorching sun. Pedestrians approaching him frowned one after another, looking at him with some disgust.

That carriage had already been dealt with by Su Xiao, and the horse had also been sold at a low price.

After counting the banknotes in his hand, Su Xiao sighed. This is a currency called Berries. Selling that horse earned him 100,000 Berries. It sounds like a lot, but it's actually only equivalent to the purchasing power of 6,000 RMB.

Please don't overestimate these 100,000 Berries; its purchasing power is far lower than imagined.

After Su Xiao tried, buying a decent set of clothes required 8,000 Berries, and wanting to have a full meal required about 900 Berries.

Scanning his gaze around, after finding no one around, Su Xiao walked slowly to a residential house.

It was a seemingly casual choice, but in fact, he had been observing this residential house for a long time.

Although the residential house was not clean, there were no vines climbing on the wall, which showed that the residential house was inhabited and the facilities inside were complete.

The layer of fine dust on the door handle meant that the owner of the residential house didn't return to the residential house often, only occasionally, which was an excellent choice for his temporary shelter.

As for why he didn't live in places like hotels or taverns, it was because those places were mixed with people, which easily caused unnecessary trouble.

He came to the Pirate World to complete the mission. Now the mission time limit is only 68 hours left. Except for mission needs, he won't contact too many people.

Contacting too many people whose background is unknown = trouble = unknown danger.

After confirming again that there was no one around, Su Xiao took out some simple lock-picking tools.

"Click, click, snap~."

The door opened in response. Su Xiao had learned lock-picking skills. The simple locks in the Pirate World were just a piece of cake for him.

As if walking into his own home, Su Xiao entered the residential house and then closed the door tightly.

After entering the residential house, as he expected, there was no one in the room.

This was a residential house of over 100 square meters. A photo was hanging on the wall, in which there was a man, a woman, and a little girl a few years old. From the hostess's sincere smile, it could be seen that this was a very happy family.

Su Xiao quickly took off his clothes and headed straight for the bathroom. Although his endurance was amazing, the foul stench on his body also made him a bit nauseous.

Clear water flowed down from the top of his head, washing away the stains and stench on his body. After changing into new clothes, Su Xiao felt refreshed.

Sitting on the sofa, a white treasure chest suddenly appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

【Treasure Chest (White), Yes/No to open.】

Choosing to open, the treasure chest in his hand opened silently, without any brilliant light, and didn't even make any sound.

【You opened the Treasure Chest (White) and obtained the following items】

【500,000 Berries (Can only be used in this world)】

【Letter of Recommendation from City Gate Guard Captain Rowan】

【100 Paradise Coins】

Only three items were obtained, the harvest was not rich, but it was not bad. After all, this was just a white treasure chest. According to the item grade of "Reincarnation Paradise," the white treasure chest is just the lowest-level treasure chest.

First putting away the Berries, he didn't need this thing yet, Su Xiao picked up the letter.

【Letter of Recommendation from City Gate Guard Captain Rowan】

Quality: White.

Type: Trigger-type prop.

Rating: 5. (Prop rating is the same as equipment rating. 1-10, the higher the prop rating, the higher the value.)

Introduction: This is a passionate letter of recommendation. Captain Rowan abused the power in his hands to recommend a bully from Windmill Village as a member of the guard team. With this letter, anyone can become a member of the guard team, provided you are a male and have sufficient Berries in your hand.

After reading the introduction of the letter in his hand, Su Xiao showed joy; this was exactly what he wanted.

Since he couldn't assassinate that king directly, he at least had to see the other person. The mission difficulty of a nightmare-level world cannot be solved by brute force.

Su Xiao put all the items into the Storage Space and left directly from the residential house.

First, he found a restaurant to have a full meal, and then he began to pay attention to the patrolling guards on the street.

The so-called guard team should be patrolling the streets, punishing some petty theft. Although the power is not great, it is also a power department under the Goa Kingdom.

Following a few guards, Su Xiao soon found the location of the guard headquarters. It was a two-story office building, with two guards standing lazily in front of the door.

Su Xiao had a letter of recommendation in his hand, so he walked up directly.

"Stop, this is the guard team, no trespassing."

A young guard had a rude attitude. After seeing Su Xiao's civilian dress, his tone was a bit arrogant.

"I am a new guard..."

Su Xiao just wanted to say his name, but immediately thought that the name Su Xiao was a bit out of place in the Pirate World. His mind turned rapidly, and Su Xiao continued.

"I am a new guard, Bai Ye."

The young guard was stunned and looked Su Xiao up and down.

"Bai Ye? Why haven't I heard of a newcomer? You wouldn't be trying to mix in..."

"Reese! Remember what the captain said earlier? Don't ask too much. Bai Ye, come with me."

Another older guard glared at the young guard and then took Su Xiao into the guard headquarters behind him.

The young guard glared at Su Xiao angrily and muttered something.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't pay attention to such an insignificant role. Following the older guard, he came to an office.

"Cough, cough~."

The older guard straightened his body and tidied up his appearance. Just as he was about to knock on the door, a burst of rapid panting came from the room.

Su Xiao and the older guard looked at each other and understood at the same time what was happening in the room. The older guard put down his hand and stood quietly on the side.

Knocking on the door at this time was clearly a bit inappropriate, as it would disturb the older guard's immediate superior's interest.

The older guard smiled apologetically at Su Xiao. Su Xiao was someone specially taken care of by the "higher-ups," so the older guard didn't want to offend Su Xiao either.

Su Xiao and the older guard walked to the side, and he took out a box of cigarettes from his bosom and handed one to the older guard.

"Snap~." The cigarette was lit, and the two chatted in the corridor.

Although it was just a cigarette, it could build some unreliable "friendship," so why not do it?

"You kid are really lucky to have the 'higher-ups' taking care of you. Don't worry, someone has already greeted about you joining the guard team, it's absolutely no problem. By the way, my name is Hank, we'll be colleagues from now on."

Su Xiao smiled humbly, but the emotions in his eyes didn't change at all.

"My name is Bai Ye, please take care of me."

While speaking, Su Xiao stuffed the remaining cigarettes in his hand into Hank's jacket pocket.

He was already considering whether the guard in front of him had any utilization value. He didn't know anything about the situation in the capital, and the other person had great use.

The smile on Hank's face was clearly more pleasant. Just at this moment, a short, low roar came from the room.

Both of them understood that it was time.

Hank waited for a few minutes and knocked on the door.

"Who is it? Get in."

A rough voice came from the office.
