Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1351: Chapter 62: Unconventional

Upon hearing Su Xiao mention the contract, Little Bun shrank her neck and looked pitiful. Her peripheral vision sneaked a glance at Su Xiao, realizing Su Xiao paid no mind to her pitiful demeanor.

Su Xiao spent 100 Paradise coins to draft a contract, the main content of which stated that before the Pirate World ends, Little Bun must assist Su Xiao without compensation. The benefits would be non-interfering.

In other words, Su Xiao’s gains would have nothing to do with Little Bun, and Su Xiao would not interfere with Little Bun’s gains.

To prevent Little Bun from stabbing him in the back, Su Xiao set up 17 mandatory contract clauses, with penalties for violations being a -30% reduction in all attributes, randomly stripping three pieces of worn equipment, or forcibly removing three abilities above Level 30.

Such a penalty was an unbearable consequence for Little Bun, greatly reducing the possibility of her stabbing him in the back.

After hesitating for a moment, Little Bun decided to sign the contract. Firstly, she and Su Xiao were currently on opposite sides, and not signing would have a simple result, the same as her previous temporary teammates: becoming a corpse.

Moreover, Little Bun sensed that although Su Xiao was full of blood energy, giving off an unusually terrifying aura, he wasn’t trying to exploit her. This could be seen from the independent nature of their respective gains.

Little Bun had accepted a total of three side tasks. Her previous team demanded 70% of her task rewards, though those people would provide some help as long as her life wasn’t at risk.

Being the weaker party, no, as someone who could be killed at any moment, Little Bun felt this contract was reliable.

”Um...”

After signing the contract, Little Bun raised her fair hand, resembling a student wanting to ask a question in class.

”Anything?”

Su Xiao placed the Duke of Extinction on the counter, pulled the bolt, and an empty shell casing flew out.

”What do I need to do afterward? Heal you? Perceive?”

”No need for now.”

Su Xiao captured Little Bun simply wanting to randomly catch a ’lucky’ healer. After battles in the Hunter World and with the Ant King, Su Xiao discovered the power of support-type Contractors, especially healers.

When Su Xiao first arrived in Zone 21, he saw several people attacking a lone Contractor. That Contractor was quickly defeated, but those attacking him didn’t kill him immediately. Instead, they slit his throat, keeping his vital signs in a critical state.

Su Xiao originally didn’t want to deal with this group, but Little Bun appeared in his line of sight. Upon preliminary observation, she was clearly a support-type Contractor.

Such a small team couldn’t possibly have a healer like Little Bun. Su Xiao, who frequently interacted with various adventure groups, immediately recognized Little Bun as a team healer.

Su Xiao initially planned to utilize the range advantage of the Duke of Extinction to take down a medium-sized adventure group, but upon following them, he realized that there was no adventure group at all; Little Bun was a ’wild’ healer.

”So I... just follow you like this?”

Little Bun looked puzzled, not understanding why Su Xiao spared her life, didn’t rub her face into the ground, and didn’t need her healing, which was quite scary.

Thinking of this, Little Bun slowly stepped back a few paces.

”Just support me in battle.”

Su Xiao filled the Duke of Extinction with bullets and put it away.

”Oh, I see.”

This time Little Bun felt relieved, but she and Su Xiao were strangers and were in a Derivative World with no laws for Contractors, so she naturally took precautions against Su Xiao.

”Are you also here to snatch that thing?”

Little Bun’s eyes showed slight excitement.

”No.”

Su Xiao had no idea what Little Bun was talking about, but he knew one thing: this Little Healer started chatting a lot after sitting up and getting dressed.

Little Bun showed an expectant look, waiting for Su Xiao to ask her what ’that thing’ was.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes passed, and Su Xiao was still napping on the wooden chair in front of the bar counter.

This frustrated Little Bun. She originally wanted to use this information to negotiate a few things with Su Xiao but based on the current situation, Su Xiao didn’t seem curious about what she knew.

”10,000 Pirate Reputation points, are you sure you don’t want to obtain it?”

Little Bun threw out her trump card. Hearing 10,000 Pirate Reputation points, Su Xiao’s eyes opened.

”I thought so~”

Little Bun smiled happily, showing two small dimples, but the next moment, her smile froze.

”Continue, I’m very interested.”

The long knife hummed, its blade reflecting a bright, snowy light.

”Uh...”

After a moment of internal struggle, Little Bun let out a long sigh, as if resigned to her fate.

”Three days ago, a Contractor infiltrated the home of Netherworld King Rayleigh and stole a flintlock gun from him.”

Little Bun, though talkative, wasn’t particularly good at expressing herself, stopping here as if considering what to say next.

”A flintlock gun worth 10,000 Pirate Reputation points?”

Su Xiao found this unlikely. Before, even after killing Cracker, he only received a few thousand Pirate Reputation points.

”It’s true. That’s the sidearm of Pirate King Gol D. Roger. The Contractor who got Roger’s Gun also triggered a hidden task. He secretly completed the first two rings of the hidden task, and the task location for the third ring is in Zone 21...”

Through Little Bun’s account, Su Xiao learned the details of this matter.

When that Contractor arrived in Zone 21 to complete the third ring of the hidden task, other Contractors weren’t harming each other there. The original battlefield was in the lawless area of the 16 District.

Unfortunately, that Contractor happened to arrive in Zone 21 while encountering two small teams collaborating to attack lone Contractors, resulting in his untimely demise.

”Roger’s Sidearm” is the key item for the hidden task. Completing this task grants ownership of the gun and allows exchanging it for 10,000 Pirate Reputation points.

In despair, the Contractor made this information public on the communication platform. Hours later, Contractors shifted their battlefield from the 16 District to Zone 21, creating the current chaotic free-for-all situation in Zone 21.

Su Xiao previously wondered why Contractors chose Zone 21 as their battleground instead of spreading it across the Shapodi Archipelago. Fixing the battlefield at a single location increased participation risk severalfold.

Now he understood the reason: the chaos was caused by a hidden task and its key item.

”Do you know where that gun is?”

”Of course, everyone knows. You didn’t know about it? Haven’t you been on the Shapodi Archipelago these past few days?”

Little Bun had only asked in passing and was surprised that Su Xiao didn’t know about this matter.

Su Xiao indeed didn’t know. These past few days, he had been dealing with Vice Admiral Crane, Kizaru, Garp, and others. He didn’t have time to pay attention to the communication platform. His smooth escape was thanks to his preparations over these days.

”Were you all... teleported here?”

Su Xiao asked, puzzled. Since Little Bun was under contract, Su Xiao wasn’t worried about her detecting anything.

”Weren’t you? All Fourth-tier Contractors were...”

Little Bun was even more surprised, then seemed to realize something, looking at Su Xiao in disbelief, as if she had discovered a new species.

”Could it be, you are that... invincible Third Tier boss!!”
