Though the wound on his lower abdomen had bled heavily, it had not damaged any internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his resilience, this injury required only suturing, bandaging, and proper rest to heal quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, neither wound hit a vital area. Remember to take your medicine on time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully bandaging Su Xiao’s wounds, a young nurse handed him several types of medication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Search officers are such a dangerous job—you’ve been injured twice in less than half a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse smiled at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suturing and bandaging had left Su Xiao drenched in cold sweat; the nurse’s delicate face grew increasingly familiar, triggering unpleasant memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first entered the ghoul world, he fought Kuzen Izumi, and it was this same nurse who stitched his wounds afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the piercing pain just now, Su Xiao’s cheek twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao, who had faced no fear in battle against Kuzen Izumi, had no desire to see this nurse again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath her angelic, sweet smile lay a devil’s heart—pink on the outside, black within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nurse’s brutal wound-cleaning technique was etched deeply into Su Xiao’s memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you remember me. My patients rarely forget me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao nodded silently and got out of the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember to take your medicine. Don’t stop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao paused, then finally muttered, “Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirens blared all around; breathing the fresh night air, a faint scent of blood drifted by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My hands—where are my arms?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry! Someone’s lost a lot of blood—get a blood bag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cries of the wounded never ceased. Though CCG had won, they had paid a heavy price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor, can I still stand? Answer me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A search officer, whose spine had been pierced through, gripped the doctor’s arm in panic—his lower body had lost all sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor turned his head, signaling other medical staff to load the patient onto a stretcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer’s face turned ashen as he lay on the stretcher, staring up at the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to CCG’s wounded, the Bronze Tree ghouls were far quieter—they were all sealed in body bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CCG’s convoy withdrew one by one; around 1 a.m., Su Xiao returned to the 20th District branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat intensity tonight had been high; heavy blood loss left him exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the quarters arranged for him by Marushiro Sai, Su Xiao collapsed into bed and slept. When he woke again, daylight streamed through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the alarm clock by his bedside—it was already 10 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, Su Xiao went to Marushiro Sai’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How was your rest? I saw how badly you were injured yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marushiro Sai set down the stack of documents in his hands; he already guessed Su Xiao’s purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the war against Bronze Tree over, Su Xiao needed to return to the 24th District—he was, after all, a member of Zero Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wounds are healing well. I estimate full recovery within three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before fighting Jin Muyan last night, Su Xiao had consumed his last [Salt Rice Ball], significantly accelerating his recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, his injuries would have taken at least half a month to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Ready to leave now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m leaving now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll arrange a vehicle for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marushiro Sai picked up the phone beside him, dialed a few numbers, and within minutes, a woman in a professional suit pushed open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Baiye, the vehicle has been arranged for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to Marushiro Sai, Su Xiao boarded the vehicle bound for the 24th District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the vehicle arrived outside the 24th District’s temporary branch. Su Xiao stepped out and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temporary branch looked exactly as before—ordinary staff members went about their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao walked straight to the logistics department, where the thin, elderly man with round dark glasses lay slumped lazily behind the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao tapped on the glass counter. The nearly asleep old man lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it? Hmm? Oh—it’s Mr. Baiye. What do you need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to exchange some items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man immediately perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see—you’re listed as a Provisional Special-Class Officer. Please select your desired items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old man spoke, an exchange list appeared before Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Human Gene Enhancement Serum]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchange Condition: 15,000 CCG Contribution Points, Provisional Special-Class Officer rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shatter Sprite (Premium)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchange Condition: 13,000 CCG Contribution Points, Provisional Special-Class Officer rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao selected [Human Gene Enhancement Serum]. Immediately, his CCG Contribution Points began plummeting, ending at: [Provisional Special-Class Officer: Contribution Points 4,823\u002F130,000].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be promoted to Special-Class Officer required 130,000 CCG Contribution Points. Su Xiao had no need for that rank—he chose instead to spend his points directly to boost his strength as swiftly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending CCG Contribution Points would not lower his rank—he had confirmed this with the Cycle Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the exchange succeeded, Su Xiao held in his hand a vial of emerald-green serum. The glass vial was reinforced with fine metallic threads embedded along its outer surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the [Human Gene Enhancement Serum], Su Xiao couldn’t help but smile. He had once ventured deep into the 24th District for this vial, then later fought in the 11th District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it had been worth it. After consuming this serum, his strength would rise significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging for the [Human Gene Enhancement Serum], Su Xiao hurried toward his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Baiye...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff member tried to call out to him, but Su Xiao had already climbed the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member hesitated, then decided not to disturb him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his room, Su Xiao locked the door and drew the curtains. Though these actions seemed suspicious, the [Human Gene Enhancement Serum] carried no warning about side effects after ingestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only stated: “No side effects, attribute enhancement.” Nothing about what would happen during consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of caution, Su Xiao placed his Zhanlong Flash within easy reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He uncorked the [Human Gene Enhancement Serum], sniffed it—it carried a fresh, plant-like scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao downed the entire vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An indescribable taste flooded his tongue; he frowned tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is this flavor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for changes. But long minutes passed—he felt nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his Strength and Stamina attributes—no increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he bought a fake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xiao pondered, a warm sensation spread through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warmth was gentle, gradually diffusing throughout his body until he felt as if submerged in warm water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood flow accelerated; muscles across his body began to twitch subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao clearly felt his body growing stronger—his heartbeat grew more powerful, his breathing smoother, his thoughts sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries he sustained during the 11th District battle were healing at a visibly rapid pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Human Gene Enhancement Serum] was indeed a Blue-Rarity enhancement agent—its effects were obvious, and the process was remarkably calm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1172,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","245fee7e0a5667e25f15c662ff2ad4e134d91e4941c8377983ddd3e8543e0dd1","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-98","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-96",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
