The little girl trotted up to Su Xiao, her face beaming with a smile.

"It's me~, I'm Kanna, pretty cute, right?"

The little girl was very lively, even spinning around in front of Su Xiao.

Su Xiao examined her carefully and realized the little girl before him wasn't the Kanna who ate everything.

"You're not Kanna."

"Caught me, huh. Guess I need to work on my tone." The little girl stopped acting cute.

"So, how about it? Want to make a deal with me? I'll help you understand Reincarnation Paradise, and you pay me 50 Paradise Coins."

Su Xiao was in need of information about Reincarnation Paradise, and the fake Kanna before him was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Fine. How do I transfer the Paradise Coins to you?"

Su Xiao's straightforwardness surprised the little girl.

"Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you? You know, there are plenty of scammers in Reincarnation Paradise."

[Dragon Slayer Flash] appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he fixed a cold glare on the little girl.

"If you cheat me, I'll kill you."

The little girl let out a soft laugh.

"Sure are a newbie. In Reincarnation Paradise, aside from the arena, Contractors can't attack each other anywhere else. This is an absolute safe zone."

"Is that so? Then in a Derivative World, it should be possible."

Su Xiao's chilling gaze made the little girl take a few steps back.

"Hey, hey, we're not enemies. I'm not going to cheat you."

Su Xiao's icy stare made the little girl's heart pound. The guy in front of her was trouble—a ruthless type who wouldn't blink at killing.

Her mind racing, the little girl decided to back off and not do business with Su Xiao.

[Ding, you have received 50 Paradise Coins from Contractor No. 13013.]

The little girl's face immediately fell, and she looked at Su Xiao with some resentment.

"It's crowded and full of eyes here. Let's talk at a cold drink shop."

The little girl sighed helplessly and walked ahead, with Su Xiao following behind.

"Ah~, I didn't want to do business with you, but since you've already paid the Paradise Coins, I'll introduce myself. My name is Xiluo Luo, and I'm a Worker in Reincarnation Paradise."

Worker? Su Xiao was puzzled but didn't speak.

Soon, Xiluo Luo led Su Xiao to a cold drink shop with a rather odd name—[Cat and Dog].

"Welcome... oh, it's little Xi. Picked up a new client?"

A sexy, mature older woman greeted them. She had a full chest, long legs, black stockings, and in her high heels, she was almost as tall as Su Xiao.

"Boss, I'll have watermelon juice. What about you, client sir?"

"Plain water."

Su Xiao was just brushing her off; he wouldn't drink anything offered by a stranger.

"Relax, we're Workers. Unlike you Contractors, we don't have that many bad intentions."

Su Xiao tapped the table with his index finger and asked, "What is a Worker?"

Xiluo Luo cleared her throat and began explaining. Soon, Su Xiao understood what a Worker was.

In Reincarnation Paradise, there were two main types of people: the first were Contractors, and the second were Workers like Xiluo Luo.

Contractors had to frequently carry out dangerous missions, but Workers were different. They were service personnel within Reincarnation Paradise, selling goods or working in service industries like food and drink.

Workers were Contractors who failed their first world mission and were thus disqualified. Without these Workers, Contractors would struggle even to eat.

It was worth noting that Reincarnation Paradise didn't offer exchange functions; daily necessities all relied on these Workers.

One benefit of being a Worker was that they only needed to enter a Derivative World once every two months.

The reason Xiluo Luo was wary of Su Xiao was that she also had to enter Derivative Worlds. If she was unlucky enough to run into Su Xiao, with her 'touching' combat ability, she wouldn't stand a chance of survival.

Xiluo Luo pulled out a transparent tablet computer and handed it to Su Xiao.

"This has the detailed info on Reincarnation Paradise. Take a look—it's been certified by Reincarnation Paradise, honest and reliable."

Su Xiao took the tablet. The device was highly futuristic, even capable of projecting 3D images.

He gradually learned the general situation of Reincarnation Paradise.

Reincarnation Paradise was vast. No one had counted its population, but it definitely had over a hundred thousand people.

The reason no one had counted was that the mortality rate among Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise was extremely high.

According to the information Xiluo Luo provided, the death rate for Contractors in the first world was 80%, the second world 60%, the third world 50%, and there was a long list after that which Su Xiao didn't bother to read closely.

From this terrifying mortality rate, it was clear how harsh life was for Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise.

In Reincarnation Paradise, most shops were run by Workers. These stores were essential for maintaining Contractors' daily lives.

In the central area of Reincarnation Paradise, there were over a dozen buildings established by Reincarnation Paradise itself, including the previously mentioned Attribute Enhancement Hall.

These buildings were extremely important to Contractors—improving one's strength was closely tied to them.

After reading the last piece of information on the tablet, Su Xiao set it down.

"It mentions here that Contractors can stay in Reincarnation Paradise for three days, then return to the real world to wait for the next mission. What does that mean? Can I actually go back to the real world?"

Xiluo Luo bit her straw and put away the tablet.

"Yes. Every Contractor, after experiencing a Derivative World, can stay in Reincarnation Paradise for three days. After that, Reincarnation Paradise teleports them back to the real world. Usually, after returning to the real world, you stay for about a week before Reincarnation Paradise summons you back to start the next Derivative World."

As she said this, Xiluo Luo's face grew troubled, and she looked at Su Xiao with some envy.

Workers were different from Contractors—they could only return to the real world for three days each month.

"I really miss my family."

Xiluo Luo rested her chin on her hands and pouted.

"Oh, one more thing. You can hide your appearance through Reincarnation Paradise to avoid being retaliated against or hunted by other Contractors in the real world. It might also drag your family into it—this is a lesson learned in blood. The way I look now was modified through Reincarnation Paradise, and it cost me a full 500 Paradise Coins."

Su Xiao just grunted in acknowledgment, unconcerned.

"Aren't you going to hide your appearance? You can do it right now." Xiluo Luo looked at Su Xiao curiously.

"No need. There's no one I can implicate."

Su Xiao's reply silenced Xiluo Luo. This sharp little girl didn't dare to rub salt in his wounds.

"You've already read the information, so the deal is done. A friendly reminder—don't provoke the Mage Lords in Derivative Worlds. Those guys are monsters, walking turrets."

Xiluo Luo shrank her neck, showing a look of fear.

"Mage Lords? Are mages really that strong in Reincarnation Paradise?"

The faint, almost imperceptible smile at the corner of Su Xiao's mouth made Xiluo Luo shake her head.

"Not just strong—super strong. Any Adventurer Team will recruit Mage Lords without limit. You know, I've been through two Derivative Worlds, and both times I paid to have a Mage Lord protect me."

Su Xiao nodded, his mind unsettled. His current profession was Shadow of Law Destruction—the natural enemy of mages.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. Would those Mage Lords still be so strong in front of him?

Su Xiao had only just inherited the Shadow of Law Destruction; he didn't yet understand the power of this profession.

It was no longer a question of whether the Mage Lords were strong in his presence—it was whether they could survive meeting him at all.
