"Scavenger Mission?"
Inside the monitor, chaos had erupted due to the Free Federation Vice President's sudden terrifying statement and abrupt death. The live broadcast was quickly canceled, and news reports began.
Bai Cangshu, however, was no longer paying attention.
He looked at the prompt text from the Space, which flickered with a scarlet glow, as if foretelling the mission's cruelty.
This was a mission he had never encountered before.
Just as he was about to return to the Space, urgent footsteps echoed from the corridor, accompanied by Li Qingzi's voice as she cleared out the few administrative staff on this floor.
This building was planned to have its top few floors restricted to Reincarnators for their safety.
"I've received an invitation for a Scavenger Mission."
Li Qingzi's expression was grim.
"Oh? What's your priority ranking?"
Bai Cangshu's words made Li Qingzi immediately realize that this "newcomer," who had just become a Reincarnator in the Dragon Ball World, was already receiving invitations for a Scavenger Mission.
The so-called Scavenger Mission was the Space's emergency plan for extremely special circumstances.
In a mission world, special situations occasionally arose, such as Reincarnators inexplicably dying in large numbers, Reincarnators being continuously unable to return, or in worlds with extremely high-dimensional power, Reincarnators violating certain forbidden iron laws, which required the Space's forced intervention.
In such cases, a special mission called a Scavenger Mission would be triggered according to the Space's special regulations.
A Scavenger Mission, in essence, was the Space's means of dispatching Reincarnators to clear out abnormal factors in a mission world. Whether it was a plot character or a Reincarnator in a special state, they were to be cleared by powerful and ruthless Reincarnators recognized by the Space.
The prerequisites for triggering a Scavenger Mission were hidden, but according to the analysis of some veteran Reincarnators in the Space, there were generally two requirements: first, a very high hidden rating, possessing extraordinary combat power; second, the Reincarnator's style of action was ruthless and would not create extra complications.
Bai Cangshu clearly met both of these requirements, so Li Qingzi quickly recovered from her astonishment.
"Rank 11, what about you?"
Bai Cangshu thus concluded that the rank for accepting the summons was unrelated to the length of time one had been a Reincarnator. Therefore, the rank was most likely tied to strength.
"Tell me, how much do you know about this Scavenger Mission?"
Bai Cangshu looked at the "04" written on his rank, his eyes deep. He wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he had become one of the Space's single-digit Supreme Experts. Such a forced summons must have other screening conditions.
For example, the mission worlds Reincarnators could typically be deployed to were somewhat linked to their own strength. It was rumored that the Supreme Expert entering Sub-World B711 in the last world had paid a huge price and used some extremely rare item.
Therefore, this rank 04 was most likely the rank he obtained after meeting all the conditions for entering that world.
The Reincarnators with the first two ranks quickly chose to refuse. Bai Cangshu guessed that they might know each other or happened to be in some urgent situation.
Li Qingzi then quickly explained what she knew about the Scavenger Mission.
Since a Scavenger Mission had so many restrictions, it naturally came with unique rewards. Otherwise, even the most bloodthirsty Reincarnator wouldn't undertake a high-risk mission for nothing.
Executors of a Scavenger Mission, upon entering the mission world, would receive an additional "drop rate bonus" from the Space. Killing Reincarnators would definitely result in a scarlet drop, and these scarlet drop cards possessed the valuable characteristic of allowing the user to actively choose the drop.
Essentially, Scavenger Reincarnators executing a Scavenger Mission could designate and acquire the target's items, abilities, or bloodline after killing them.
Furthermore, Scavengers in the corresponding mission world would also significantly increase the generation of drop cards by killing plot characters.
For Reincarnators regarded as Scavengers by the Space, entering this mission world meant executing a Scavenger Mission and farming various rewards, regardless of whether the targets were plot characters or Reincarnators…
Bai Cangshu nodded in satisfaction. His Scarlet Sin had just entered the third stage, and activating Scarlet already brought generous rewards. Now, with the added benefit of active selection, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
"You have accepted the Scavenger summons."
"Special Reincarnator EX051, you will begin your Scavenger Mission deployment in 1 hour of real-world time. Please prepare in advance."
Li Qingzi, on the other hand, saw that the prompt in front of her had changed:
"Rank 04 has agreed to the summons. This summons has ended."
The number of Reincarnators summoned for each Scavenger Mission was fixed, and even if a Scavenger participating in the summons failed the mission, the Space would only judge that the current summons's tier was insufficient.
It would not continue to initiate summons at this tier.
"You're Rank 04?!"
Li Qingzi quickly realized that the Rank 04 who had just accepted the summons was Bai Cangshu. She was aghast. In such a short time, her rating in the Space had fallen so far behind Bai Cangshu's!
She paused, composed herself, and before turning to leave, she warned,
"Be careful. Although you can see the rank, no one can be sure which round this Scavenger summons is. If that world is truly dangerous, even you…"
She looked at Bai Cangshu, who simply continued to lie on the sofa, playing with a drop card, not seeming to listen to her words.
Li Qingzi turned and left. She didn't know why she was giving such a warning; it would be best if he died in the mission world…
Hiss!
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, a nerve-tearing pain emerged.
Li Qingzi clutched her head and walked out of the room. Bai Cangshu merely smiled mischievously.
Indeed, some things are only fun when you cultivate them yourself.
Whether it's the body or… the mind…
—
The silver-white information stream dissipated from Bai Cangshu's eyes. He had returned to his private Space, which now approached a thousand square meters.
Clearly, the Millennium Bug and Xu Zhiyu, whom he had killed, were fierce individuals who had hunted many Reincarnators, and their private Spaces were originally vast.
The empty private Space looked quite messy. With a thought from Bai Cangshu, it transformed into a sprawling, circular flat.
Outside the windows, one could see green lawns and a lake. Such virtual landscapes were nothing to the Space. Pushing open a window, one could even feel the scent of verdant grass and the moist breeze from the lake.
"Reincarnator EX051, you have received 4721 new offers."
"Reincarnator EX051, according to your authority, you can now know in advance the Scavenger Mission deployment world that is about to open."
"Deployment world has been anchored. Mission World: Gantz; World ID: KO8891."
"Please return to your private Space before deployment begins."
Gantz…
Bai Cangshu looked at the mission world name and ID, a characteristic cruel expression on his face. He twisted the doorknob of his private Space and entered the public Space.
He habitually performed a final reinforcement and training, and handled some transactions, before entering a mission world.
