The cabin space is not small, considering the spaceship is hundreds of meters long, with two rows of seats closely aligned with the edges. Su Xiao casually finds a seat and sits down.
The seats are constructed of black metal with many functions, such as emergency oxygen supply.
There are plenty of seats, allowing all Contractors to sit down. Su Xiao scans the area, roughly understanding the few factions on the space battlefield.
The first faction is the God King Adventure Team, also the strongest faction. Their configuration is peculiar—an adventure team of seventy to eighty members, with at least twenty healers, and the front row mostly consisting of Paladin-type professions, suggesting they have astonishing healing capabilities.
The second faction is the Brotherhood, whose strength is moderate. The leader, Adam, is a Mage who masters Wood Jutsu, and the Mage named Chen is not weak either. Su Xiao has collaborated with him once.
The third faction’s name is unknown; the leader is a woman with a black hood, decorated with gold patterns. Only her fair chin and smiling lips are visible.
This faction consists of over sixty people with a very reasonable setup. Most prominent is a burly man over two meters tall. Next to him is a shield the size of a door panel. He munches on an iron rod like it’s a biscuit, seemingly enjoying it.
The fourth faction is the Lone Contractors, which comprises a variety of individuals.
[The cabin door has closed. All Contractors must fasten their seat belts. The spaceship will depart in three minutes.]
With a loud bang, the cabin door closes, and all the Contractors feel a tightness in their hearts.
Several army-green seatbelts pop out from behind the seats, meant to strap the body to the seat. After Su Xiao fastens the seatbelt, he is firmly secured in the seat.
"This lousy spaceship."
A low curse comes from beside. Su Xiao turns his head and pauses.
Beside him is a Mage in a deep yellow robe. Su Xiao recognizes his magic wand.
"We met a few Derivative Worlds ago in the Arena."
Su Xiao actually met him a few days ago.
"Oh, I was wondering how you knew my code name in Paradise."
Su Xiao is speechless, realizing that the other really is called Five Fireballs.
Five Fireballs is not weak, but his appearance is quite disappointing. His old face is full of wrinkles, making him look at least sixty, but a closer look reveals he is at most thirty, clearly prematurely aging.
The more Su Xiao observes Five Fireballs, the more familiar he seems, with the old-yet-creepy appearance and a face full of wrinkles. He looks just like Kizaru from the Pirate World.
"Friend, you’re a loner too, huh?"
Five Fireballs grins, super sleazy, making Su Xiao feel even more like he’s looking at Kizaru.
After chatting with Five Fireballs for a while, Su Xiao discovers that this is also his first time participating in a space war.
The spaceship under them vibrates lightly, and Su Xiao vaguely feels a sense of weightlessness; the spaceship has taken off.
[Spaceship accelerating, current speed 673 Mach, preparing for space shuttle... Wormhole generation in progress...]
[Space shuttle starting, Contractors, please stay close to the seats.]
Su Xiao no longer cares for Reincarnation Paradise’s prompts. The seat beneath him is constantly vibrating, as the surrounding Contractors exclaim.
This situation lasts for about half an hour before the spaceship’s vibration decreases, finally stabilizing.
[Announcement: Space shuttle complete, estimated to arrive at destination in 8 hours and 35 minutes.]
[This space battlefield is D-level, with a maximum stay time of 8 days.]
[Contractors can freely move within the cabin but are prohibited from leaving the cabin for the cockpit.]
Su Xiao unfastens his seatbelt. The travel time of eight hours isn’t short. Contractors from the same adventure team have gathered together. Upon a closer look, these guys are actually playing Dou Di Zhu or Poker, betting with Paradise coins. Their psychological resilience must be quite strong.
"Everyone, Flash Gold Adventure Group is setting up a gambling venue. You’re welcome to join."
The Contractor who speaks is the burly man devouring steel. Apparently, the third adventure group’s name is Flash Gold Adventure Group, and some Contractors gather around.
Divine King, Brotherhood, Flash Gold, there are three adventure teams on the spaceship.
Contractors eligible to participate in the space battlefield are generally strong with excellent psychological quality. Most people are not particularly nervous.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some Contractors lean against their seats with pale faces, looking like water.
Su Xiao sits cross-legged on the seat, playing with a tablet without feeling nervous. Being nervous is pointless; what’s meant to happen will always happen. Without an iron heart, one might not get killed in Reincarnation Paradise, but they would end up with psychological problems.
There is great fear between life and death. Not everyone is suited to becoming a Contractor.
Hours later, the cabin is filled with smoke, the smell of alcohol, and food. Laughter and cursing are endless, occasionally coupled with snoring.
With a rumble, the spaceship jolts, and all Contractors look up. For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
[Passing through the space barrier to enter the Derivative World...]
The familiar sense of teleportation appears, but this time there’s no head-smashing sensation, and Su Xiao is conscious; this is a short-distance teleportation of the entire spaceship.
The spaceship trembles again, indicating it has landed.
