The little girl ran a few steps to stand in front of Su Xiao, beaming at him.
"It's me~ I'm Connor, how about it, cute right."
The little girl was very lively, even twirling in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao scrutinized her closely and discovered that the little girl in front of him was not the all-eating Connor.
"You're not Connor."
"Did you find out? As expected, I need to pay more attention to my tone." The little girl stopped pretending to be cute.
"How about it, want to strike a deal with me? I'll help you understand Reincarnation Paradise, and you give me 50 Paradise coins."
Su Xiao just needed to understand Reincarnation Paradise, and the fake Connor in front of him was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Okay, how do I trade you the Paradise coins."
Su Xiao's directness surprised the little girl a bit.
"Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you? You should know, there are quite a few tricksters in Reincarnation Paradise."
"Zhan Long Flash" appeared in Su Xiao's hand, his gaze cold as he looked at the little girl.
"If you cheat me, I'll kill you."
The little girl chuckled lightly.
"As expected, you're a newbie. In Reincarnation Paradise, except for the Arena, Contractors can't attack each other anywhere else; this is an absolute safe zone."
"Is that so? Then in the Derivative World, it should be possible."
Su Xiao's icy gaze made the little girl step back a few steps.
"Hey, hey, we're not enemies, and I won't cheat you."
Su Xiao's icy gaze made the little girl's heart tremble. The guy in front was someone not to be messed with, one of those ruthless types who wouldn't blink at killing.
Thinking quickly, the little girl decided to retreat for now and not do business with Su Xiao.
[Ding, you received 50 Paradise coins from Contractor No. 13013.]
The little girl's face immediately turned bitter, looking at Su Xiao with a bit of grievance.
"There are many eyes here, let's talk in a cold drink shop."
The little girl sighed helplessly and walked ahead, with Su Xiao following behind.
"Ah~, originally didn't want to do business with you, but since the Paradise coins have already been paid, let me introduce myself. I'm Xi Luoluo, a worker of Reincarnation Paradise."
Worker? Su Xiao wondered inwardly but didn't speak up.
Soon, Xi Luoluo led Su Xiao to a cold drink shop, which had a rather quirky name: "Cat and Dog."
"Welcome... Oh, it's Little Xi. Got a new customer?"
A mature lady, dressed sensuously, came forward. She had a voluptuous figure, long legs, and wore black stockings. With high heels on, her height almost matched Su Xiao's.
"Boss, I want watermelon juice. What would the customer like?"
"Just water."
Su Xiao casually responded; he wouldn't drink anything provided by strangers.
"Rest assured, we are workers, different from you Contractors, not so sinister."
Su Xiao tapped his finger on the table and asked, "What is a worker?"
Xi Luoluo cleared her throat and started explaining to Su Xiao, who soon understood what a worker was.
There are two kinds of people most common in Reincarnation Paradise, the first being Contractors, and the second being workers like Xi Luoluo.
Contractors often need to perform dangerous tasks, whereas workers are different. They are service personnel within Reincarnation Paradise, either selling goods or working in the catering and service industries.
Workers are Contractors who failed their first world mission, thus being chosen. Without these workers, even eating would be a problem for Contractors.
It's essential to know Reincarnation Paradise doesn't provide exchange functions; daily necessities require these workers.
Becoming a worker has its perks; they only need to enter the Derivative World once every two months.
Xi Luoluo was wary of Su Xiao because she also had to enter the Derivative World. If she was unlucky enough to encounter Su Xiao, with her 'touching' combat strength, survival was unlikely.
Xi Luoluo took out a transparent tablet and handed it to Su Xiao.
"This contains detailed information about Reincarnation Paradise. Take a look. It's notarized by Reincarnation Paradise and totally reliable."
Su Xiao took the tablet, feeling its futuristic technology, capable of projecting 3D images.
He gradually learned the general situation of Reincarnation Paradise.
Reincarnation Paradise is vast. The population within hasn't been counted but is definitely over ten thousand.
The reason no one counted is because the death rate among Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise is extremely high.
According to Xi Luoluo's information, the death rate for Contractors in the first world is 80%, 60% in the second world, 50% in the third world, and so on. Su Xiao didn't look into the details further.
This terrifying death rate shows how tough it is to survive as a Contractor in Reincarnation Paradise.
In Reincarnation Paradise, most shops are operated by workers, essential for Contractors' daily life.
In the central area of Reincarnation Paradise, there are more than a dozen buildings operated by Reincarnation Paradise, including the previously mentioned Attribute Strengthening Hall.
These buildings are very important for Contractors, closely related to improving their strength.
After reading the last piece of information on the tablet, Su Xiao put it down.
"It mentions Contractors can stay in Reincarnation Paradise for three days before returning to the real world to wait for the next task. Does this mean I can return to the real world?"
Xi Luoluo, biting her straw, put away the tablet.
"Yes, after experiencing a Derivative World, every Contractor can stay in Reincarnation Paradise for three days. After that, Reincarnation Paradise will teleport Contractors back to the real world.
Generally, after returning to the real world, you'll stay for about a week before receiving the call from Reincarnation Paradise to return and start the next Derivative World."
At this point, Xi Luoluo looked a bit sorrowful and somewhat enviously at Su Xiao.
Workers, unlike Contractors, can only return to the real world for three days each month.
"I really miss my family."
Xi Luoluo rested her chin on her hands, pouting her lips.
"Oh, and by the way, you can conceal your appearance through Reincarnation Paradise to avoid being retaliated against or hunted by other Contractors in the real world, which might endanger your family. This is a lesson learned in blood.
The appearance I have now was modified through Reincarnation Paradise. It cost me 500 Paradise coins."
Su Xiao just muttered an 'oh' without much care.
"You don't want to conceal your appearance? You can do it now." Xi Luoluo looked at Su Xiao curiously.
"No need, I have no one to implicate."
Su Xiao's reply left Xi Luoluo silent. This sharp-witted little girl dared not pour salt on Su Xiao's wound.
"You've seen the information, so the transaction is completed. A kind reminder, don't provoke Mage Lords in the Derivative World. Those guys are monsters, like cannons."
Xi Luoluo shrank her neck, showing a fearful expression.
"Mage Lords? Are Mages in Reincarnation Paradise very strong?"
The faint smile on Su Xiao's lips made Xi Luoluo shake her head.
"Not very strong, but super strong. Any adventure group would recruit Mage Lords without limit. You know, I've experienced two Derivative Worlds, and I paid Mage Lords for protection both times."
Su Xiao nodded, his heart unable to calm. His current job is the Shadow of Annihilation Law, the arch-enemy of Mages.
He suddenly felt a bit eager to see if those Mage Lords would still be so strong in front of him.
Su Xiao had just accepted the legacy of the Shadow of Annihilation Law and didn't understand the power of this profession.
Now it's not about whether the Mage Lords are strong in front of him, but whether they can survive after encountering him.
