(Item ratings follow the same scale as equipment: 1–10, higher ratings mean greater value.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description: This is an impassioned letter of recommendation. Captain Rowan abused his authority to recommend a bully from Windmill Town as a guard. With this letter, anyone can become a guard, provided they are male and possess sufficient Beli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the letter’s description, Su Xiao’s face lit up—it was exactly what he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could not directly assassinate the king, he must at least meet him; the difficulty of a Nightmare-level world cannot be overcome by brute force alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stored all items in his storage space and left the house immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he found a restaurant and ate a full meal; then he began observing patrol guards on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guard Corps, he assumed, patrolled the streets and dealt with petty thieves—though their authority was limited, they were still a power division under the Goia Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tailing several guards, Su Xiao quickly located the Guard Headquarters: a two-story office building, with two guards lounging lazily at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Su Xiao held the letter of recommendation, he walked straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! This is the Guard Corps—no unauthorized entry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young guard spoke harshly; upon seeing Su Xiao’s common attire, his tone turned haughty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the new guard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was about to state his name, but immediately realized “Su Xiao” sounded odd in this pirate world; his mind raced, and he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the new guard—Baiye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young guard froze, sizing Su Xiao up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Baiye? I never heard of a new recruit. You’re not trying to sneak in…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ris! Remember what Captain said earlier? Don’t ask questions. Baiye, follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older guard shot the young one a glare, then led Su Xiao into the Guard Headquarters behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young guard glared angrily at Su Xiao and muttered something under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao paid no attention to such an insignificant figure; following the older guard, he arrived before an office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older guard straightened his posture, adjusted his uniform, and raised his hand to knock—when a rapid, labored breathing came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao and the older guard exchanged a glance; both understood what was happening inside. The older guard lowered his hand and stood quietly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knocking now would be inappropriate—it would disturb his superior’s pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older guard offered Su Xiao an apologetic smile; Su Xiao was under “upper command”’s special attention, so the older guard had no desire to offend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao and the older guard stepped aside; Su Xiao pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to the older guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click.” The cigarette lit; the two chatted casually in the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only one cigarette, it could forge a fragile “friendship”—why not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re lucky, kid—someone high up took notice of you. Don’t worry, your entry into the Guard Corps has already been arranged. By the way, I’m Hank. We’ll be colleagues from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao smiled politely, but his eyes remained expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Baiye. Please look after me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Su Xiao slipped the remaining cigarettes into Hank’s jacket pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already assessing whether this guard had any value; he knew nothing of the capital’s situation, and this man could be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hank’s smile grew noticeably more pleased—when suddenly, a short, guttural growl came from inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both understood: it was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hank waited a few minutes, then knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it? Come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rough voice boomed from within the office.\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5807736264a3405a29a653b017d272f6aa19644eeef837d24b73adc14e1f37ed","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-8","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-6",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
