"Whoa!"

Linda, the little loli, exclaimed, startling everyone who had just let their guard down. The group stood up in collective vigilance.

Realizing nothing had happened, everyone looked at Linda with discontent, with Lin Jiu's gaze being the most intense.

Noticing Lin Jiu's severely injured state, with his health still declining, Linda approached him and used a skill to raise his health a bit.

Recalling Linda's earlier reaction, Lin Jiu suddenly stared at her, which startled her.

"W-what's wrong?"

Although Linda could now return to the Reincarnation Paradise, she didn't dare do so without Lin Jiu's permission. If she upset him, encountering him in the derivative world later would be disastrous for them.

"You completed Main Mission Three, didn't you?"

Lin Jiu remembered that this little loli had formed a temporary team with him, so by the rules, she would also be credited for the task of killing the ultimate being, Kars.

"Yes!"

Linda nodded. After all, her earlier reaction had already given it away.

"Remember my number and give me two of those Soul Crystals (Small) when we return. The remaining one is your reward."

Lin Jiu instructed Linda.

Linda quickly nodded, showing a satisfied smile. She thought it was already great to get two free attribute points, but getting a Soul Crystal (Small) was even better—these were invaluable resources.

"What are you two whispering about? Red, you're seriously injured; shouldn't you rest and wait for the medical team?"

Jojo came over and said to them.

During this battle, the four Hamon Warriors were mostly on the sidelines, restricting Kars. All the damage was absorbed by Lin Jiu, and they were mainly injured by that scale rain attack.

Lin Jiu's injuries were much more severe—there was still a claw embedded in his abdomen.

"Forget it. We won't wait. This little girl can heal me, and I'll take her to meet her teammates," Lin Jiu waved off Jojo's concerns.

Linda, hearing this, felt uneasy despite there being nothing wrong with his words.

As Jojo walked away, Lin Jiu chose to return. Seeing this, Linda hurriedly opted to leave the derivative world as well.

[Teleportation complete, Hunter has returned to the exclusive room.]

[The exclusive room is an absolute safe zone; no one can enter without the Hunter's permission.]

Lin Jiu heard the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise. Exhausted, he uttered a command to recover from his injuries and lay down on the bed.

[Injury assessment in progress... Beginning recovery...]

[Recovery complete, total cost: 9000 Paradise Coins.]

Lin Jiu fought off sleepiness and began the settlement process for this derivative world.

[Hunter has returned to Reincarnation Paradise, beginning reward settlement for the derivative world.]

"Fewer attribute points!"

Lin Jiu sighed, frowning, and fell asleep on the bed.

In the second story arc, Battle Tendency, there were very few missions to take on. Aside from the three missions issued by Reincarnation Paradise, Lin Jiu barely found any other tasks.

Lin Jiu woke up soon after, mainly because his body was severely injured, but his brain hadn't suffered much. As he prepared to assess his spoils, he noticed an email with two Soul Crystals (Small) attached. Lin Jiu smiled slightly, realizing that the little healer Loli was indeed considerate.

With those two Soul Crystals (Small), Lin Jiu now had five Soul Crystals (Small) in total.

There were two blue chests: one from Wamuu and one from the ultimate being, Kars. The chest dropped by the evolved Kars was still blue.

After thinking about it, Lin Jiu didn't find it surprising. The evolution mainly granted immunity to sunlight, enhanced vitality, and the abilities of various creatures. Other attributes didn't undergo qualitative changes; otherwise, Lin Jiu and his team wouldn't have been able to defeat Kars.

So it was normal for the chest to remain blue, though it was still quite valuable within the blue tier.

From Santana's chest, he only got some Paradise Coins and a useless green weapon. Three Scarlet Cards came from the chaotic scene where many contractors fell, and Lin Jiu didn't pay attention to which three contractors they came from.

He also obtained the [Adrenaline Activation Serum - Modified], [Human Body Enhancement Serum (No. 3)], three ordinary [Aja Red Stones], and a piece of [Unknown Meteorite Fragment] (a raw material for crafting a Stand Arrow) from the Germans.

Lastly, he had also snagged the Super Aja Red Stone, which, after being embedded in Kars' Stone Mask, had been partially disassembled and was now in a damaged state, needing to be attached to a necklace chain.

Overall, the attribute points and items gained were far less than in the previous derivative world, but Lin Jiu was quite pleased with the Soul Crystals (Small).

Moreover, most of the items from the last derivative world were still stored in Lin Jiu's possession and had yet to be sold.

"Hmm?"

Lin Jiu suddenly noticed another email, this one from Daxius, saying that he had failed the assessment world. A big question mark popped into Lin Jiu's head.

After organizing his thoughts, Lin Jiu decided to head out and see what was going on with Daxius. As he received Daxius's permission, he appeared in Daxius's exclusive room and saw him there.

To Lin Jiu's surprise, Daxius didn't show any negative emotions from failing the assessment mission. On the contrary, he seemed a bit pleased.
