Chapter 8: The Void (Extremely Dangerous, with basically no clear danger level classification, qualitatively different from derivative worlds. Its nature is the same as the Real World or within Reincarnation Paradise; there is no such thing as resetting storylines. It can be said that there, the strong are as common as dogs, and the power struggles between major forces have lasted for who knows how many years. An ordinary Fifth Rank Contractor who gets caught up in the struggles of these forces would be crushed to dust in an instant. Even someone as strong as Alice or Sha is not considered a big shot in the Void. Arcane Eternal Star, the Demon Race, and others are the true overlords of the Void.)
Su Xiao had roamed through Reincarnation Paradise until now, and it could be said he had experienced all these places. For an ordinary Fourth Rank Contractor, this was simply unimaginable, but the facts were as they were.
Looking at the contractors passing by beside him, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. Everything he had experienced within Reincarnation Paradise, though fraught with danger and hidden dangers, was equally splendid and magnificent. As long as one was unwilling to be ordinary, this was the best starting point, provided one was willing to risk their life.
If asked whether it was worth it, at least in Su Xiao's view, it was very much worth it. Being unwilling to be ordinary always required paying a price. Anyone who came here had a chance to choose: either to laugh wildly amidst the bloodshed, or to die within a pile of corpses. Clearly, Su Xiao belonged to the former.
Pushing open an Attribute Enhancement Pod, Su Xiao did not receive a payment prompt; instead, a large number of prompts appeared.
[Hunter: Your four True Attributes are about to reach 99 points. Please carefully consider whether to continue this attribute enhancement. If all four True Attributes reach 99 points, the Contractor will undergo the 99-point True Attribute Barrier Breakthrough Assessment.]
[If the Hunter needs to advance to a Fifth Rank Contractor, they must first break through the 99-point True Attribute Barrier Assessment.]
[Warning: If the Hunter advances to the Fifth Rank, they will assume the following responsibilities.]
[1. Cleanse Violators (Rewards can be obtained).]
[2. Participate in multiple World Wars (Rewards can be obtained).]
[3. Enter the Void at irregular intervals (Generous rewards can be obtained).]
[4. Suppress riots in low-rank derivative worlds (Special rewards can be obtained).]
[5. Ensure stability in the Real World. The Hunter can designate a range. If more than 10 Contractors engage in conflict within this area, the Hunter must step in to mediate or eliminate them to maintain stability.]
...
After reviewing the prompts from Reincarnation Paradise, many of Su Xiao's doubts were answered. He had always been puzzled about one thing: with so many Contractors in the Real World, why was it so stable? Was it the credit of the Scavengers? No, the Scavengers alone could not control the situation.
For example, if Fifth Rank Contractors went on a killing spree in the Real World, even mobilizing the military might not be enough to stop them. And most Contractors willing to become Scavengers were not of high rank.
Now Su Xiao finally understood what was going on. It was due to mutual restraint among Contractors. Every Contractor, upon advancing to the Fifth Rank, would mark out an invisible territory. Contractors would only oversee one thing in this territory: whether other Contractors had conflicts there. Beyond that, they would not interfere with anything else.
Reincarnation Paradise selected newcomers from the Real World, so the Real World naturally held extraordinary significance for Reincarnation Paradise. However, Su Xiao was still puzzled about one thing: where did the higher-rank Contractors go?
Su Xiao pushed open the Attribute Enhancement Pod. This was the choice he had made.
[Hunter has completed the selection. Welcome to, Reincarnation Paradise.]
Su Xiao ignored the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise. He had never left Reincarnation Paradise, so the meaning of this prompt was unclear.
Checking his own attributes, Su Xiao was only one point of True Strength attribute away from having all four True Attributes reach 99 points.
[True Attribute Points allocated. Enhancement begins.]
Buzz...
The enhancement pod started operating but stopped after only five minutes, as only one attribute point was being enhanced.
Five minutes later, Su Xiao walked out of the Equipment Enhancement Hall and checked his personal information:
Contractor No. 13013. (To protect the Hunter, this is a false number.)
Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)

True Strength: 99 points
True Agility: 99 points
True Stamina: 99 points
