Chapter 83: A Special World? (Please subscribe for first order, please give monthly votes)
After wandering for a while, Xiao Xian, busy organizing the Employees to start work, left first.
Mu Yang, temporarily idle, found Xiao Xian's room, took out the original anime, and continued watching it.
There was no other way; if he didn't watch it and encountered a derivative world he was completely unfamiliar with, he wouldn't even be able to distinguish between the protagonists and antagonists, and accidentally killing allies would be problematic.
Similar to his stay in the real world, Mu Yang could stay in Douluo Continent for a maximum of seven days, after which he would have to return to Reincarnation Paradise for the next derivative world.
Douluo Continent was safer than Mu Yang had imagined; there were no unruly monsters or demons hindering the Employees' work, and even the world consciousness tacitly approved of their actions.
Only on the second day did he make a trip to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, sending over all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Soul Masters who had been sent by their sect master to work.
Most of the time spent was chatting with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master; the teleportation there and back only took less than half a minute.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile indeed had some unique qualities; with their assistance, the mining progress significantly increased, and Mu Yang felt as if countless Soul Crystals were pouring towards him.
Watching anime, occasionally strolling around Douluo Continent, and experiencing the feeling of playing in the human world in advance, Mu Yang felt that living like this wasn't bad.
But unfortunately, he was ultimately a Contractor of the Paradise, not a transmigrator from a normal world.
"Prompt: A new derivative world is about to open. The Contractor will return to Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses around."
"Time to go."
Upon receiving the prompt, Mu Yang waved goodbye to Prue and Xiao Xian.
"Have a safe journey, and be careful of those cunning Contractors!"
"Alright."
"Teleporting—Teleportation complete."
The sensation of teleportation appeared, and Mu Yang returned to his exclusive room in Reincarnation Paradise.
Since most of his recovery items had been used up in the last world, Mu Yang planned to go to the trading market to buy some more recovery items from the alchemist.
Just as he was about to push open the door and leave his exclusive room, Reincarnation Paradise's prompt reappeared, with a significant change.
"Prompt: Currently determining the Contractor's true affiliated faction. Please do not leave your exclusive room for now—"
"Determination complete. The Contractor's true affiliated faction is Neutral-Good! Due to the Contractor's relatively special existence in 'Reincarnation Paradise,' the Paradise will assign a special mission."
"Warning: This mission is extremely special and vastly different from derivative worlds where the plot is known! Before the Contractor enters this world, he will sign a contract with the Paradise, agreeing not to disclose the existence of this world or the content of conversations to any living or non-living entity!"
"Prompt: The Contractor has 5 minutes to think and confirm whether to accept the mission, or he may ask questions to the Paradise."
"Accepting the mission will grant the Contractor a reward; completing the mission will grant special authority and rewards!"
"?"
Looking at the sudden string of Paradise prompts, Mu Yang admitted he was a bit bewildered and experienced Ruo Yi's feelings when she applied for the pioneering order.
Because he had indeed never seen so many Paradise prompts before.
After reading the prompt content, Mu Yang had something to say.
First, he was very grateful for Reincarnation Paradise's recognition of him; second, he was very grateful for Reincarnation Paradise's recognition of him—
But why would such a special mission be assigned to him, an ordinary, even first-tier Contractor? This was clearly unreasonable.
Shouldn't such a mission be more securely entrusted to powerful high-tier Hunters or Contractors?
With his doubts, Mu Yang spoke to Reincarnation Paradise.
"Why assign this mission to me? Are there no other better candidates?"
"Due to the Contractor's relatively special existence, rarely seen in the Paradise, the Paradise has chosen you."
"What's special about it?"
When he said this, Mu Yang inwardly guessed that it might be because he simultaneously possessed the Blood Sun and pride of the sun, making him very special.
And that special mission might utilize these two powers.
But very quickly, the Paradise's words shattered his thoughts.
"The Contractor's true affiliated faction is Neutral-Good, which is relatively special among a multitude of Neutral-Evil and Chaotic-Evil."
Mu Yang was speechless; so that was the special part.
Although it was impossible for the vast Reincarnation Paradise to have only produced one Neutral-Good like him, his existence, to some extent, was already enough to make the Paradise feel a bit special.
And regarding the current situation, Reincarnation Paradise expressed its own helplessness.
Due to environmental influences, most Contractors are willing to do anything for profit, and special Hunters are born to kill Contractors, with each having a stronger killing intent than the last.
As for the Arbiters—
Not many of them are normal either.
This certainly wouldn't have mattered before, but the place about to be explored is extremely special. Reincarnation Paradise even dared to assert that it was the first force in the void to discover that place.
That place was not within the scope of the void, and it was only discovered by chance.
Moreover, there seemed to be an existence similar to the Void Tree there, so Reincarnation Paradise only conducted a simple investigation without alarming the other party.
From the current intelligence, that universe seems to be called the Star Sea.
It was precisely because of that existence similar to the Void Tree that Reincarnation Paradise decided to send a normal person first to try and establish a subtle connection with that existence.
Because it was a friendly conversation, the Paradise decided to send a Contractor from the Neutral-Good faction.
Just like when trading materials with other Paradises, it would choose more friendly Employees for Docking rather than fierce, aggressive Hunters who would immediately resort to violence.
Furthermore, according to its investigation, the person going had to be weaker, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Afterward, Reincarnation Paradise sifted through the weaker Contractors and found that among all current first and second-tier Contractors, only a scattered few met its requirements, and Mu Yang was surprisingly the strongest.
So Reincarnation Paradise listed Mu Yang as the first choice, and the three abnormal National Football Team members as backups—
At this moment, Mu Yang was contemplating whether to accept this special mission.
He realized the seriousness of the problem, but not entirely.
Because Reincarnation Paradise's description, in his view, was very similar to a native world, making him mistakenly believe that this mission might be to a relatively special native world, and that world's level was still very low.
And this was also an opportunity for him.
If Mu Yang wanted to continue to crush other Contractors in the future as he did now, he would have to bear the corresponding risks. And among them, his life was undoubtedly the best bargaining chip!
He gambled!
Gambling with life means going all in! Only after discarding life can true madness and gambles begin!
"I accept this mission."
"The Contractor has accepted the mission and will be teleported to a special area in one hour."
"Reward distribution in progress, currently determining suitable ability target—"
"Determination: Enhance target · Special Title · pride of the sun!"
