# Chapter 1: Special Identity

It took 2 minutes and 50 seconds to unlock the door. Actually, Su Xiao could have used the remote control to open the rolling shutter door, but there was no response—the power must have been cut off.

With a clatter, he pulled up the rolling shutter door, and a faint smell of dust wafted out from the shop.

Bubu Wang took two steps back, a look of disgust on his face.

"What are you backing away from? We're living here from now on. Don't slack off—all three floors need to be cleaned."

Su Xiao walked into this familiar shop. He had lived here for a long time before. Unlike drifting across the seas, this place gave him a sense of belonging.

One person and one dog began cleaning the entire three-story building. The first floor was the storefront, the second floor was the living quarters, and the third floor was the warehouse for storing goods.

During this time, Su Xiao went out once to pay the water, electricity, and gas bills.

By evening, a small accessory shop had quietly opened for business. The lights illuminated the first floor brightly. The first floor was about 130 square meters, with over a dozen rows of shelves filled with various expensive accessories. Jade emitted a gentle glow under the light, and pale yellow amber accessories looked magnificent.

But it was all useless—not a single customer came.

Su Xiao was perfectly fine with that. He sat at the bar counter on the inner side of the first floor, where a computer and many tools were placed.

Su Xiao set down the electric soldering pen in his hand. In front of him were numerous mechanical components; he was assembling a security system.

A jingle sounded as the shop door was pushed open. Su Xiao's hand paused, and Bubu Wang, who was sleeping on a small bed nearby, lifted his head.

"Is anyone here?"

A timid female voice came. Su Xiao didn't respond and continued perfecting the security system.

"Eh—"

The customer seemed to see something unbelievable.

Jingle—

The customer left the shop. That's right—the lethality of this shop was just that great. The goods sold were far too expensive. If this shop were in the city center, it might get business, but in this kind of remote area, it was very difficult.

After Su Xiao finished setting up a complete set of mechanisms and security systems, his stay time in the real world reached its limit.

After returning to his old haunt, Su Xiao found that relaxing here was far more effective than traveling around to scenic spots.

Watching the shop while catching up on shows or making small things made the stay time in the real world pass quickly.

After locking the shop door, Su Xiao went up to the second floor and activated all the mechanisms and security systems.

[Tip: A new derivative world is about to open. The hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses nearby.]

[Transmitting... Transmission complete.]

When Su Xiao's vision recovered, he was already in his exclusive room.

[The hunter's rank will be notified 30 minutes before entering the derivative world (after advancing to second rank, the advance notice time for the next derivative world intelligence is reset, increasing by 5 minutes per rank). The hunter will enter the derivative world in one hour. Please wait patiently.]

[Tip: The hunter possesses "One Chance for Derivative World Multi-Selection." Yes/No to use?]

"Use."

[Used "One Chance for Derivative World Multi-Selection." Before entering the derivative world this time, the hunter has one multi-selection opportunity.]

A new derivative world was about to begin. Su Xiao's strength was much greater than before, so he couldn't help but feel eager to try.

Other contractors inevitably felt some fear before entering a derivative world, but Su Xiao was the complete opposite. Not only did he have no fear, he was actually looking forward to it—looking forward to what opponents he would encounter in the derivative world, or competing with the strong for treasures.

Moreover, this derivative world was very special. Su Xiao would activate his talent awakening mission in this derivative world.

After successful awakening, the talent skill's level ranged from E to SSS. He was curious about what level his talent would be after awakening.

It wasn't that a powerful talent would necessarily become powerful after awakening. The final talent level depended on the completion degree of the talent awakening mission.

If the mission completion was high, the talent level would naturally be higher. If the completion was low, even if the original talent ability was very strong, it would only be slightly enhanced.

Whether the awakened talent ability was powerful depended on personal ability, not on bloodline theory.

Su Xiao checked the supplies in his storage space. Food, drinking water, and so on were all complete. No. 1 Potion × 10—he only carried this one type of recovery potion.

Because of manufacturing No. 1 Potion, Su Xiao only had 2,300 Paradise Coins left. These Paradise Coins were kept for emergencies.

Time flew by, and one hour quickly passed.
