Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Forget it, never mind—"

Watching the sound of someone riding away on a Judas skateboard outside the door, and seeing Ms. Murata Himeko peeking out of the room and giving her a thumbs up, the blonde girl rubbed her temples with a headache.

"Himeko, when Theresa realizes something's wrong and comes back, good luck to you."

"Hahaha, no problem, let's enjoy every minute we can—"

Snow, after giving a helpless shrug to the female Valkyrie instructor, prepared to shift his attention to another area...

"Like this, then like this, and then like this, umm... it looks almost done, just one last step!"

Velvi was muttering to herself as she adjusted something on the lump of soul steel. Her body, which had been reduced to a mass of liquid soul steel, was now regaining a roughly human shape...

"Oh, you've arrived. Did you finish your talk with that Herrscher?"

Miss Wilvi, who was almost finished with her work, looked at the person who had come closer and asked a question.

"Of course—that young lawyer sold himself for a good price..."

Snow shrugged, a pleased smile creeping onto his lips as he thought of a certain Herrscher of Corruption who had been tricked into joining the group.

"Oh? What's a good price? Tell me?"

As the greatest magician of the previous civilization, or rather, the "greatest con artist," Miss Velvet became somewhat interested.

"A two-day weekend, an eight-hour workday, five social insurances and one housing fund, plus meals and accommodation—that's definitely a good price for her, isn't it?"

Miss Snow rubbed her hands together and looked at the nearly completed Soul Steel body on the stage with an interested gaze.

"That sounds good... but what job did you arrange for her?"

Upon hearing about the treatment, Vervi nodded and then asked a question out of curiosity.

"Ah, it's probably about the hygiene and housekeeping services at the Destiny Headquarters, and some matters related to you, Yingjie...?"

Too lazy to repeat herself, Miss Snow pulled out a contract and handed it to Miss Wilwy for a quick glance.

"Damn, this isn't an employment contract anymore, it's some kind of life-or-death indentured servitude contract..."

Miss Velvet, after casually glancing at the contract, offered her assessment, especially after seeing bizarre requirements such as assisting Möbius's experiments and separating Qian Jie from Kevin during their fight...

"How did you manage to get her to sign such a contract???"

"I just took it out and gave it to her to sign... She signed it without even glancing at it, and I hadn't even told her about the salary and job requirements yet."

Snow recalled the speed at which the Herrscher of Corruption had signed the document and confirmed one thing again: that unlucky little guy really hadn't looked at a single word.

"What era are we living in? How can there still be lawyers looking for new jobs who don't even read the contracts...?"

Hearing Velvet and Snow's whispers, Miss Kiana curiously came over, glanced at the reward and conditions Miss Snow offered, and showed an expression similar to Velvet's.

"This is what a Herrscher looks like when she's cornered~ Don't forget, there's also Kiana—when we went in and found her, she was being chased by those weird tentacle monsters."

"Wouldn't this be considered taking advantage of someone in distress, as the class monitor mentioned?"

With a strange expression, Miss Kiana watched the Herrscher of Corruption on the screen, who was still rushing towards a better tomorrow, and twitched the corner of her mouth.

"No, we were just helping her out of her predicament, and she even thanked me just now."

Miss Snow Apocalypse, by raising and shaking her index finger, rejected Kiana's idea.

"And thank you... I'm starting to wonder if this Herrscher really knows how much money she sold herself for???"

"Who knows? Anyway, for her—as long as she gets out of this awful place, she'll accept any conditions, right? Even if you add weird and wonderful requirements to the contract, she'll probably agree."

"...Can you say something that's broadcastable, Snow?!"

"Ahem—just kidding, Vilvie, how's this secondary soul steel body coming along? It looks like it's almost ready... but why is it a headless knight???"

Snow looked at the body, whose head was still a pool of liquid soul steel, with a strange expression, and then looked up at Miss Wilvi.

"Ah, you'll have to ask the Herrscher of Corruption. Let her handle the character customization herself; we'll just do some minor enhancements."

"For example, Eden and Alicia just came over to ask about the approximate size of this body, and it seems they're planning to make a little dress for her to wear..."

Velvi stroked her chin and looked at Snow beside her, as if to say, "Please go and fool that little fool again."

"I hope her requirements are simple... don't give me any fancy requests like a colorful black or a dazzling white."

Vilvi seemed to have thought of something and muttered something to herself.

"Then she made you a magical request: LED neon-lit eyes and seven-colored glowing hair?"

Miss Snow jokingly added to the previous sentence.

"Huh?! What the heck?!"

Believing the look, Velvi gave the girl a "what?" expression and immediately replied—

"If that girl dares to make such an outrageous request, just tell her it will take a month... no... half a year to make this thing!!"

"And she'll have to wait for me in Paradise during this time!!!"

"Is it really that exaggerated...?"

Looking at Miss Velvet, who seemed hurt by something, Snow muttered something to himself...

"Why don't you imagine what kind of monstrous creature you just described would actually be created???"

The great magician retorted without holding back...

"It's just Mary... never mind, never mind."

The blonde girl, who was about to reply to Velvi, suddenly choked... Snow, who had casually imagined what kind of monster her offhand request would eventually turn into, also shuddered...

"Oops... I was careless. I've reviewed quite a few Mary Sue characters with rainbow hair—but those with LED eyes are a different story... What kind of light pollution is this...."

"Got it? So go ask her for something normal—if her request is abnormal, you find a way to steer her back to the normal side."

"Then she thought about it and gave you a discount, so you got a three-color gradient haircut..."

"Do people like this really exist in real life???"

"Yes, like Jiuxiao—her highlights are naturally three colors...and you're not much better, you have half-and-half hair color..."

"Anyway, Damn it! If she dares to ask for more than three colors, she'll be stuck in Paradise for six months!"

Good morning! Tickets!

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 487 Big Ellie and the Possible "Little Ellie"?

"Hey, you weren't beaten to death, were you?"

Miss Snow Apocalypse, in a hurry, chose to get straight to the point.

"Yes, yes... Boss, are you going to pick me up?"

She changed into a smaller, more petite form, transforming into Little Ellie hiding in a haystack, holding two branches as the Herrscher of Corruption responded softly.

"Why did you change your look again...?"

"Um... because this one is cuter! And it's easier to hide from?"

Holding two branches, the Herrscher of Corruption, who looked somewhat silly and cute, tilted her head.

"Anyway, boss, when can we get out? Those tentacle monsters are really scary!"

"I know it's urgent, but don't rush me. I'm stuck on a question right now and need to ask you what you're asking."

After calming down the emotions of a certain unlucky little girl, who was also the future number one vengeful seed of Schicksal and a working-class Herrscher of Corruption, Snow raised her question—

"We're going to sculpt a new body for you... you know what I mean? When you move to a completely different environment, you also need a new body to adapt to that environment and stuff."

"Change...body?"

Not being very cultured, Shi Bao scratched his hair, which was covered with several leaves, looking somewhat bewildered.

"That's right—you need a body. If you don't quite understand... you can think of it this way: you originally lived on land... now you're going to make a living in the water, so you definitely need a body that can breathe and move freely in the water, right?"

"Emmm...that seems to make sense?"

The Herrscher of Corruption nodded, seemingly understanding, while Miss Snow, who was trying to fool the child, nodded with satisfaction as she watched the Herrscher of Corruption being tricked again—"You're quite clever, kid."

"So the boss is preparing a medical check-up for me there, so I can better adapt to my new job and life?"

"That's right, that's exactly the point."

"In that case... uh... boss?"

Shi Bao looked embarrassed and scratched his cheek somewhat sheepishly...

"Speak your mind—what kind of situation and request haven't I, your boss, seen?"

"So, is the cost of making a new body deducted from my salary?"

Looking embarrassed, Shi Bao asked a strange question... It seems that her long-term focus on Padofelis's data has made her personality a bit money-obsessed.

"From a generally rational perspective, as long as your demands regarding physical appearance are normal, they are free..."

"But if you want something like three heads and six arms, or something colorful and vibrant, it will cost extra... because your boss outsourced the body sculpting to a friend..."

"If you make any outrageous demands, you might have to wrestle with those terrifying tentacle monsters for another six months, not to mention... I'll also have to pay that friend a huge sum for emotional distress and customization fees."

"So these extra expenses will be charged to you?"

"So, do you understand? If you understand, then tell me your requirements?"

After a pause, Miss Snow continued with the original question—

"Hmm... I understand, right? Boss, can I use an existing template?"

"You mean your current appearance...?"

"Hmm...right? I think this look would be quite likable?"

Little Ellie tilted her pink head...

"Then I'll have to go ask... After all, the original owner of your appearance is right outside right now, and she's even preparing a little dress for you...? I'll hang up now!"

"Huh???! Wait a minute, boss!"

Upon hearing that the person in question was outside, Shi Bao looked uneasy, though—her expression also seemed to carry a hint of anticipation...?

Outside the paradise, Snow, having finished another phone call with the Herrscher of Corruption, turned to look at Velvet behind him and Kiana, who was watching the show...
