Chapter 300: Chapter 1: Charged Attack?!
After completing the purchase, Su Xiao waited for the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise in the trading market.
Due to modifications to the Derivative World that was about to be entered, Reincarnation Paradise did not provide information about the next Derivative World.
Su Xiao took out a tablet to check the information about the next Derivative World.
"Hmm? That ability suits me well, but acquiring it seems a bit challenging. I need to plan carefully."
After reading the information, there was still an hour before entering the Derivative World. Su Xiao checked the supplies in the storage space.
All living supplies were prepared, and the weapons were repaired. Thirty-one Intermediate Alchemical Explosives were placed in the corner of the storage space.
The skill level for making Alchemical Explosives was maxed, but Su Xiao didn’t rush to upgrade the level.
Although he had some spare Paradise coins left, and his Mana Value had fully recovered, Su Xiao would never make Alchemy Bombs right before entering a Derivative World as it would be irrational.
Derivative Worlds are full of various dangers, and it’s imperative to enter in a fully ready state.
The long wait began. After completing two levels of puzzle games, the Contractors around started to become rowdy.
"It’s coming, the new Derivative World. I hope I can come back alive."
"Is there anyone going into the ’Hookup Battle’ Derivative World together? Workers seeking protection."
...
Noisy shouts echoed, and at the same time, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise arrived.
[Time’s up, Derivative World: One Piece opens, this world has no abnormalities and is an open world.]
[Space coordinates stable, consumed 0.021 ounces of Power of Space-time.]
[Based on the consumed Power of Space-time, Contractors must achieve a minimum comprehensive rating of C- Level in this world.]
[Open World: Hunters can encounter extremely powerful enemies in this world, please be cautious.]
He was about to be teleported again, Su Xiao gently stroked the back of his head, feeling helpless as he had no solution.
Just as Su Xiao braced himself for a "blow" to the head, that familiar feeling didn’t occur.
[Preparing to teleport to the open world...]
Preparing? Su Xiao’s brow furrowed as he suddenly considered a possibility. An open world might imply much larger Derivative Worlds, making teleportation more difficult.
Su Xiao’s expression froze, "Could it be..."
Bang!
Su Xiao cursed inwardly, MMP; if the previous feeling was a "blow," this time it felt like he was directly hit by a heavy hammer — the kind that had been charging for a long time, causing him to see stars.
The Power of Space surged as the teleportation from Reincarnation Paradise completed.
...
In the Void, on a planet that is not within the scope of Reincarnation Paradise.
This is a small planet inhabited by hundreds of thousands of creatures, similar to the Kara Aliens.
This race looks different from the Kara Aliens, resembling Half-Beastmen, and they plunder other races in the Void.
Currently, the scene on this planet is horrific, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, an apt description.
The sky had turned light red, with a cleave several kilometers long, slicing through the atmosphere.
It is evident this strike came from outer space, cutting through the planet’s energy shield and atmosphere, slicing a third of the entire planet as if it were a cut apple.
"What... what did we do wrong? Why massacre us?"
A three-meter-tall Half-Beastman lay on the ground; he was the leader of this planet, notoriously strong in the nearby star systems, and he was covered in sword marks, his flesh mangled.
This wasn’t a direct slash from a sharp sword, merely collateral damage from Sword Qi.
"What did you do wrong?"
A man’s voice rang out; he was seated atop a mountain of corpses. The bodies on the mound were desiccated as if drained of Life Energy.
The man sitting on the corpse mound drank heavily, the dense stench of blood wafting around, and inhaling it could incite inner rage, a presence that only comes after slaughtering countless beings.
"Someone entrusted me to destroy ’Trang Star,’ no personal vendetta involved."
After finishing, he guzzled more alcohol, the fragrance spreading, even in the Void, it’s considered top-level liquor.
"Trang... Trang Star?"
The planet’s leader was stunned, the notorious slayer of Half-Beastmen actually shed tears.
"This is Kaba Star! Trang Star is ten light-years away! Although it’s close and inhabited by the same race, this isn’t Trang Star, not Trang Star!"
The planet’s leader held his head and wept bitterly.
"Oh~ not Trang Star?"
The man atop the corpse mound seemed slightly surprised, taking out a Star Map to double-check.
"To the left, thirty-five degrees... hmm~, indeed not. Wrongly killed, relying on shoe tossing for navigation is indeed unreliable."
The man stood up, his face revealing a neurotic smile, showing his white, sinister teeth.
"Since it’s the wrong target... silencing is best. Such an embarrassing mistake must never be spoken, originally planned to leave a few thousand, but forget it."
The planet’s leader was in despair; this god of slaughter in the Void was completely unreasonable, grabbing beautiful women at will, not to mention the liquor.
Suddenly, the man standing on the corpse pile, holding a longsword, changed his expression.
"Someone’s arrived at the home again, no..."
He closed his eyes to perceive, and after a long time, reopened them.
"So that’s it. It seems the contract signed way back is still valid."
...
The Power of Space enveloped Su Xiao, and after an unknown amount of time passed, a strong wind blew toward him.
Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, the headwind instinctively made him want to close them again.
He was falling, plummeting downwards.
Below was a vast blue ocean, sparkling with light.
With a splash, Su Xiao plunged into the water, bubbles bursting around him, choking on bitter and salty seawater unprepared.
Gulu, he spat out a few bubbles underwater, paddling his limbs to swim up to the surface.
Clamoring up with a splash, Su Xiao emerged, wiping the seawater off his face, gasping heavily.
Even if arriving in the One Piece World, they didn’t have to throw him straight into the ocean.
Scanning around, all he saw was endless seawater stretching to the horizon.
The reason Su Xiao was teleported into midair, eventually falling into the sea, was due to a protective measure by Reincarnation Paradise for the Contractors.
If Su Xiao was teleported together with Contractors, it would be extremely dangerous in such an open world.
The chance of Contractors dropping Scarlet Cards in open worlds exceeds 60%, hence it’s also known as the Hunting Ground, a paradise for the strong, hell for the weak.
Contractors with capabilities are eager to enter open worlds, while those without avoid them like the plague.
At this moment, Su Xiao was utterly confused about his exact location or mission.
