Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

But for Patto, these became treasures she cherished, items she could proudly display and sell in her shop.

This little cat girl is really good at finding things.

After thinking for a moment, Shihen picked out something related to the remaining heroes he hadn't met yet from the stall, and then piled all his recent gains in front of the canned goods.

In this way, he had all the necessary documents for customs clearance.

Although only he admitted it.

"Meow!"

With a short shout, the canned food vendor kept only a small portion of the "payment" given by the boy, pushing the rest back.

It's a cat that only cares about business.

Consider this payment for hiring you to guide me.

"Put the two piles back together," Shihen said with a smile.

Only in Pado's hands can these items be considered treasures.

"Meow?"

The canned food made a puzzled sound.

It cannot understand the human's behavior.

"Take it; your master will be very happy."

He spoke softly, and Shihen took the opportunity to stroke the canned food.

This fat cat feels really nice to the touch.

I wonder what Pado is like?

Shihen couldn't help but think as he glanced at the catgirl sleeping soundly in the tree.

It's a pity I can't masturbate to it; it'll be censored.

Shihen sighed regretfully.

"Meow~"

Whether it sensed the boy's thoughts or was out of gratitude for Shihen, the canned food proactively extended its claws, its red plum blossom-shaped paw pads conveying a silent allure.

Gudong~

Swallowing hard, Shihen ultimately couldn't resist the fat cat.

The moment his fingers touched that soft texture, Shihen felt as if he had been completely healed.

I want to pet Paddy even more now.

Wow~

Shihen played with Guantou for most of the day before the sound of swaying leaves could be heard from the nearby tree.

"Ah~ I slept so well~"

Pado stretched lazily, her clothes billowing up... Actually, there was no need for it to billow up. The catgirl's clothes were very revealing, showing off her slender waist and her belly button. Any higher and she would attract the attention of the censors.

Her tail swayed as if she had just woken up, and Pado's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the stall, her eyes instantly lighting up.

Wow...so many things!

Looking at the pile of coins and various items in the payment area, Pado's heart was instantly filled with happiness.

What a big customer this must be!

Huh? Wait a minute, have any guests visited the Paradise of the Past during this time?

After racking her brains, the catgirl couldn't think of anyone in Paradise who would be so generous.

At least, it is absolutely impossible for other heroes to be like them.

"Meow~"

A meow rang out, and Pado's heart immediately leaped with joy. Her gaze swept quickly over the area: "Canned food!"

This fat cat has finally decided to come back!

Before the joy in her heart had faded, Pado saw the warm-smiling black-haired boy next to the can and was so frightened that she almost fell off the tree.

“Who are you?”

Pado's voice trembled.

Someone was so lazy in his exploration of the paradise of the past that few heroes have ever heard of his name.

"Hen, a World Serpent executive, a warrior bearing the name of [White Dove], will surely save the world in the future."

"That's what Shi, the partner of justice, said."

Whether others believe it or not, Shihen himself believes it.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Pado exclaimed, jumping down from the tree in a gesture of submission. "From now on, I'll call you Brother Hen!"

She was very aware of her own weakness.

In this paradise of the past, apart from canned food, everything that moves is more powerful than her.

"Alright. From now on, you're under my protection in this paradise."

Shihen patted his chest.

"Hehe, that's great!"

Not feeling anything was wrong, Pado's tail wagged happily.

I've managed to latch onto another powerful figure.

"By the way, my name is Paddophilis. You can call me Paddo or Phyllis."

Pado then realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet.

"Then I'll call you Pado."

Shihen said.

“No problem, either Pado or Phyllis is fine, as long as you can pronounce it smoothly, Brother Hen.”

Pado is very straightforward and honest.

She never dwells on these trivial matters.

Besides, if you're going to be a subordinate, you have to act like one.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with: finding a place."

Shihen said.

If he finds Paddo, he'll have a way to find Gretchen.

Without the inscription, it is indeed very troublesome to go to the depths of Paradise.

These are the rules of Paradise, and there's nothing he can do about it.

"Alright! I may not be good at fighting, but when it comes to finding people and things, I'm the best in Paradise." Pado patted her chest and readily agreed. "But... Brother Hen, even brothers have to keep accounts straight, right?"

As she spoke, Pado kept rubbing her two fingers together.

“Indeed.” Shi Hen nodded, and with a flick of his fingers, a white crystal jar appeared. “Is this alright?”

In this paradise, while coins are the general equivalent, things that embody various memories are often of higher value.

Alicia's crystal flowers have been with him for so long, it's not difficult to understand the principle behind it.

Of course, it's just not difficult for him.

As for that picture of the catgirl taking a nap, let's just consider it an unforgettable memento.

After all, he's not some kind of monster; he wouldn't do something like threatening a girl with photos.

"Wow! Hen-ge is amazing! He's just like Aili-jie."

Pado couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although her martial arts skills didn't improve much from spending all her time with heroes, she still gained some knowledge and naturally understood how difficult it was to achieve this.

Of all the thirteen heroes, only Alicia, who ranked second, possessed this ability.

"I'll add this one for you." As he spoke, Shihen conjured up another catgirl. "One Padma and one can of food, in exchange for you taking me to the deepest place, how about it?"

If he were to directly say that he was going to find Gretchen... Shihen also has his pride.

Anyway, going to the deepest part of the place would inevitably involve passing through Gretchen's studio, so he could achieve his goal in the same way.

"You didn't ask... Are you kidding me, Brother Hen?"

Just as she was about to agree, Pado turned pale with fright after hearing the words "the deepest place".

Is that a place you can just go anywhere?

Going to a place like that would basically mean offending all the top-ranking heroes!

Even if they were both heroes, she would definitely be split into Pado and Phyllis.

"Of course." Shihen nodded solemnly, then took out a pink crystal flower. "Actually, it was Alicia who asked me to go."

She was supposed to lead the way herself, but she was unavailable, so she recommended you to me instead.

"Y-really?"

Looking at the crystal flower that belonged only to Alicia, Paddo still couldn't quite believe it.

"Didn't she ask you to find something a while ago? That was probably to prepare a gift for me."

Shihen explained.

Although Alicia has not yet confirmed this, judging from the other party's whereabouts these past few days, it should be pretty much true.

"That's it."

Pado was starting to believe it.

After all, many of the things Shihen said were true.

“Once you complete this task, I can accompany you on a shopping trip.” Shihen tempted, “By then, I can get you either the Thousand Tribulations Mask or the Mebius Scales.”

He also really wanted to fight Qianjie and Mebius.

"No, no, no! I'll take you to the deepest part of the place; there's no need to buy any more goods."

Paddo waved her hands quickly.

She was afraid that she might have the life to buy the goods, but not the life to sell them.

If both Thousand Calamities and Mebius were to come knocking on her door at the same time, she would probably be turned into a thousand equal parts of Padofilis, and each part would still be alive and kicking.

"That's fine."

Time left a regretful mark.

He genuinely wanted to fight those two.

Having reached the Heavenly Rank, it would feel like a waste not to have a fight.

"I'll lead the way for you, Brother Hen." While putting away Crystal Pado and Crystal Canned Food, Pado turned to the fat cat and instructed, "Canned Food, you don't need to go this time. Just stay here and watch the house."

Although there was no need to keep anyone at this stall, since there were only a few people in Paradise, and none of them were interested in her treasures.

As for visitors like Shihen, they might only come once every few years.

However, venturing into the deepest parts of the world is inherently risky, and she didn't want to take the canned food with her.

"Meow~"

With a long cry, the canned food jumped onto the stall and sat down.

"Alright, alright, I know it's safe. I'm not like you, you can't expect me to take so long just to get some goods."

Pado waved her hand and couldn't help but complain.

She helped Sister Aili finish such a huge order, but that fat cat still hasn't come back. Heaven knows where he's slacking off.

"Meow…"

The canned food cried out softly, looking very aggrieved with its head down.
