[
The hunter will soon be returned to the original world, please remember the rules of Paradise.
The teleportation process has been started, location: Primordial World.
----
In the real world, in a jewelry store.
With a crash, Su Xiao fell to the floor.
Standing up, there was a slight look of confusion in his eyes.
He landed headfirst on the floor.
While Su Xiao was recovering, Bubtney appeared two meters above the floor nearby.
Bubtney flipped over in midair and the next moment fell to the floor, hitting his nose directly on the floor.
— Su Xiao felt that everything was going wrong somehow. The Equipment Improvement Hall was full, and the cost of consumables and equipment in the retail area increased by at least 10%, but even with that, consumables, especially recovery potions, were much lower. After looking through the assortment of a dozen vendors, it was quite possible not to find a single recovery potion.
By the time Su Xiao needed to return to her own world, the price of useful supplies had jumped by another 10%. 20%.
Everything suggested that a storm was about to break.
He pulled back the curtains and let in the sunlight.
Bubtney was already on the street, looking around.
While they were in the real world, Su Xiao didn't control Bubtni's actions. He was a pretty smart dog. Given his skills, if Bubtney were to encounter anything dangerous, he would definitely be able to leave unscathed.
In most cases, contractors did not interfere with each other in the "real" world, and any disagreements were mostly resolved in the derivative world.
Of course, this was not due to the prudence of the contractors, but to the fact that the "Scavengers" were very vigilant in keeping order.
After going down to his shop, Su Xiao opened the doors and sat down at the counter, then turned to the table near the wall.
As soon as he scanned his fingerprint, iris, and face, the table began to slide back and a metal board was pushed out of the wall, on which various parts of some weapon were laid out.
It was a sniper rifle that Su Xiao had created himself for the sake of interest.
Just as Su Xiao picked up the first piece of the rifle and prepared to polish it, the phone on the counter vibrated.
Picking it up, he saw 76 missed calls, and they were all made from the same unknown number.
Su Xiao answered the call and put the phone to his ear.
— …
There was a dead silence on the line, which made Su Xiao frown.
People who wanted to cause problems usually called and remained silent after answering the call.
— Either tell me or don't call me again, " Su Xiao said, and started counting down to three in his mind.
— Brother Byakuya, no, Brother Su Xiao, it's me — " a familiar voice came from the phone.
— Lucky guy? Su Xiao asked back.
— Ha-ha-ha, yes, it's me. I'm sorry I contacted you in the real world, " Lucky's voice sounded a little tired, and the ship's horn could be vaguely heard in the background.
— It's all right, who gave you this number? Su Xiao asked casually.
— Hey, hey, don't be like that. I was the one who wanted to contact you. If I involve him in my business, I'll feel guilty for a long time.
Lucky knew all too well how violent Su Xiao was. If he says who gave him his number, that person is bound to encounter an "accident" in the near future and eventually disappear.
— Really? Then forget it.
— You're as usual... " said Lucky and laughed bitterly.
— What is the problem? Kill someone? Collect information? Su Xiao asked. He knew full well that Stan was looking for Lucky all over the world. Compared to how Stan treated Su Xiao, it was nothing compared to Lucky's situation.
Stan and Su Xiao simply didn't like each other. Yes, they were considered enemies because of their positions, but there were no personal grudges between them. Lucky's situation was different. Stan wanted revenge for the green hat that was forced on his head.
— You know my situation. I have to hide here and there.
— Su Xiao asked. He wouldn't be surprised if Lucky ran away from the country.
— If I was alone, everything would be fine. I can survive anywhere. I thought long and hard about it. In the current circumstances, among the contractors I know, you seem to be the only one I can trust. Would you mind?".. Help me find a new home? It should be safe and the local conditions shouldn't be too bad. I... I don't want my daughter to suffer.
— Wait a bit, " Su Xiao replied and started searching under the counter for something. "Buy a ticket for a direct flight to Australia, when you arrive in Australia..." After a few minutes, Su Xiao picked up a glass of water next to him and drained it in one gulp. — When you get there, find the Urok Grape estate, which also has a winery.
— Ho... And that's it?..
— My.
— Lucky asked, sounding a little embarrassed.
— In the past, I worked in a very lucrative job. This vineyard was given to me by one of my clients. Its only drawback is its location and not a very good signal. You'll need to clean up a little inside, but then you can live there for a very long time. Oh, you'll need to plug in the power and mains, unless of course it's still turned off. There is a tunnel right under the manor house that leads directly to the neighboring farm...
Lucky guy was surprised by such a gift.
However, if Su Xiao's past didn't have enough different shelters, he would have become a corpse long ago.
— You can take care of your passport yourself. As for the other documents, I'll have someone deliver them. This will take a maximum of four days. You'll need to...
— Thanks.
Su Xiao hung up the phone in silence, then continued to refine his sniper rifle.
----
In a certain country, in a rented house.
Lucky hung up and took a deep breath.
— Dad, where are we going? The cute little girl asked and looked at Lucky.
It was his daughter.
— We'll go... Become the local rich, " Lucky said, and smiled.
— Dad, aunt in the photo — is this my new mom? she asked a new question.
— Ummm~ ... this is...
— Dad, tell me honestly, did you behave badly?
Hearing this question from his daughter, Lucky froze.
Lucky took a deep breath and felt guilty.
Even he found it very difficult to be constantly on the run, and his daughter was so young...
— Do you like grapes? Lucky asked and pinched his daughter's cheek.
— Yes.
— Daddy will take you to a place where there are lots and lots of grapes.
Lucky picked up his daughter and left the rented house.
However, what he didn't know yet was that the grapes of this manor were extremely tasteless.
In the past, when Hyde tasted these grapes, he said, " And these are grapes? Even the pills are tastier and sweeter than these grapes».
----
After dealing with a few questions, Su Xiao hung up the phone. Lucky had to take care of the rest himself. Now, until he reveals himself, Stan's men won't be able to find him.
When Su Xiao first became a contractor, he thought of staying in this vineyard for a while, but later abandoned such a plan due to difficulties with the Scavengers.
Three days later, Su Xiao received a message from Lucky.
He arrived at the vineyard and gave up all his previous possessions, now he decided to communicate via email.
The environment of the vineyard was more than comfortable, he saw no flaws, except that the grapes were very tasteless.
The days in the real world were extremely comfortable and peaceful.
And so, at one point, Su Xiao received a notification from Heaven.
[
Attention! The doors of the new derived world will open soon, the Hunter will be returned to the "Paradise for Reincarnators", please make sure that no one sees you.
The new derived world is a "super-large" world that will include more than ten guilds that will face off against other, external forces.
The Paradise Merit System will be available for review in the near future.
The war for peace is about to begin.
Starting teleportation... Destination: Paradise for Reincarnators.
Attention! In this war for peace will take part this time: Apocalyptic Paradise and Holy Paradise. These factions will be hostile.
After seeing the series of notifications, Su Xiao finally understood why the prices of consumables and equipment had increased.
The war for peace was about to begin.
And this time it will be a battle… Two for one?
He didn't know what the "Holy Paradise" really was, but the "Apocalyptic Paradise" was a very weak opponent.
