After confirming the discovery, several items appeared in front of Su Xiao.

Su Xiao looked at the ring in his hands and thought.
Although this ring didn't add any points to his stats, it granted him an excellent ability to ignore pain for 20 seconds.
It didn't look like anything special, but the pain couldn't be underestimated during a battle. Severe pain could slow the fighter down or even overwhelm him, which would eventually lead to defeat.
But not being in pain for a long time wasn't a good thing either, so being able to ignore pain for just 20 seconds was like a very powerful stimulant.
This ring could make a person make their last move even if they were about to pass out due to pain. Although the effect of this ring only lasted for 20 seconds, it was still very good.
Once a creature's health drops below 10%, it will be weakened. If this indicator drops below 5%, the creature will not be able to fight further in most cases due to fatigue and pain..
But with this ring, Su Xiao will be able to ignore the pain and fatigue.
Putting the ring on his finger, Su Xiao felt a strange energy that he could trigger at any time.
Immediately after, he hid this ring with the hide Paradise equipment function.
After that, he looked at the kakuhou in his hands.
It was kakuhou Oomori.
Kakuhou was round, about the size of an egg. Its surface was surrounded by several bright red lines, while kakuhou itself was completely dark red.
This thing had a hard texture and was heavy, but it didn't look like any organ. It was more like a solid object.
Su Xiao had no intention of transplanting kakuhou Oomori into his body. Not to mention the extremely high chance of death, ghouls as such weren't high-level creatures, so the risk wasn't worth it.
Su Xiao already had a legacy and wouldn't resort to other things, especially if they could kill him with an extremely high chance.
As for the unknown mutation... it was a real joke.
Just surviving after transplanting this thing would already be an incredible outcome.
And even if this unknown mutation happens, the combination of a tiger and a dog will never lead to the birth of an elephant..
In the end, he put kakuhou in the inventory. It was something he could sell in Paradise. It was useless to him, but such material in Paradise was quite valuable.
All in all this treasure chest gave him quite good items.
In the end, Su Xiao gave a simple summary. Creatures that were given a chest to kill were generally strong, while those that were relatively weak were not given a chest to kill.
But even if the chest fell out, it didn't mean that something good would fall out of it.
After that, Su Xiao yawned and went to bed.
The Ghoul Control Department won't be able to respond to his request until after morning. If something unexpected happened, Su Xiao would just join the ghouls.
He wasn't going to fail such a simple task.
----
At 7:00 the next morning, there was a knock on Su Xiao's door.
— Byakuya, there's news from headquarters, " it was Kureo Mado's voice.
Su Xiao had already finished washing the dishes, so he immediately opened the door and saw Kureo Mado in a white suit.
— Headquarters has agreed to let me join you?
— Of course.
After receiving a clear answer, Su Xiao felt better.
— These are your documents and certificate. I didn't expect your father to be an investigator. It helped you a lot when you joined the Ghoul Control Department.
Su Xiao took the documents in his hands, and Rai immediately sent him a notification.
[The hunter has completed the main mission (1): Camp selection. There is no reward for this mission, but the following mission is issued.
Main Task (2): Senior Investigator.
Difficulty Level: Level 3.
Introduction: Quickly improve your position in the Ghoul Control Department and prepare for new challenges.
Mission Information: Use any method to advance your career - eliminating ghouls, taking bribes, and so on.
Mission completion date: 20 days.
Completion Reward: 1 free Attribute Point, 1500 Paradise Coins.]
[The hunter has successfully joined the Ghoul Control Department, and contribution points are now available.
Current position: Third-class Investigator, Contribution points to the Ghoul Control Department: 0/50.
Killing ghouls will help you earn contribution points.
Once you reach the required number of points, you will immediately be promoted.
Contribution Points can also be used to purchase items from the Ghoul Control Department or to create a kuinke..]
According to the information that Paradise provided earlier, he would have to complete a total of three basic tasks, and only then would he be able to return to Paradise.
But right after that, Rai sent him some bad news.
[Announcement: There are “Contractors” who have joined the camps, but this number of” Contractors " is not enough to maintain the balance of power of the factions.
The force balancing mechanism has been launched.]
And it wasn't just Su Xiao who saw this announcement.
With the exception of Su Xiao, the meaning of the first main task of all contractors who haven't joined any of the factions yet has changed to " Join the Ghoul camp».
This was the balance mechanism of Paradise. Such a simple solution would not allow the other force to fall too far behind.
Su Xiao's expression turned a little ugly. Most likely, he was the only person who managed to join the Ghoul Control Department, while the other few who did manage to join the ghouls were clearly not enough.
Because of this, he realized one important thing — in Paradise, his "Hunter" identity provided him with some advantages, but in the derived worlds, Paradise treated all "Contractors" equally.
But Su Xiao wasn't going to complain. In the end, it all made sense. Paradise always made him feel like it was cruel and cold, but fair.
However, the fact that he was currently in the Ghoul Control Management camp had its advantages. At least he won't be hindered by any other contractors from Management.
— Byakuya, you were assigned to the 14th district, the situation is a bit complicated and they need your help, " Kureo Mado was clearly regretting that Su Xiao wasn't assigned to the 20th district.
— I understand, but I have a feeling that I'll be back in the 20th district in a little while.
Under Kureo Mado's puzzled gaze, Su Xiao left the branch along with his documents.
The fourteenth district was located next to the 20th district. If the pressure on the 14th district became too strong, the department of the Department for Combating Ghouls of the 20th district immediately supported it.
But right before he left the 20th district, Su Xiao suddenly remembered something. He hesitated. He was wondering if he should go to a coffee shop called Anteiku.».
After all, there were a lot of ghouls gathering there.
