Chapter 1379: Chapter 1: The Adorable Tianqi Girl

[Teleportation complete, the Hunter has been transmitted to the exclusive room.]

Upon returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao first went to check the growth of the Yeguang Maple Tree.

After a few days, the Yeguang Maple Tree has grown to about 11 centimeters, and its growth rate is not fast during environmental adaptation. Once it fully adapts and survives, it will then grow rapidly.

The soil is very moist, and there are still 12 Soul Crystals remaining in the flower pot, so there’s no need to tend to this seedling for the time being.

The branch position of the Yeguang Maple Tree has turned black-brown, developing a thin layer of bark, and a tender leaf sprouted at the top. The headache is that A Mu often looks at the leaf and swallows his saliva; heavens know if it will suddenly munch the leaf.

After confirming that the Yeguang Maple Tree was alright, Su Xiao reviewed the dozens of prompts given by Reincarnation Paradise.

In summary, the World Struggle War is about to begin, with competing Paradises fighting over the ownership rights of the War World. The Paradise whose Contractors win will gain the ownership of the War World.

War World is different from Derivative and Original worlds; it is also not the Void.

Su Xiao has yet to distinguish between Derivative, Original, Void, and War worlds, but he knows one thing—the sensation during teleportation to these places is different.

Void is the farthest, and the back of one’s head gets ’hammered’ the worst. The Original world is slightly nearer but it also feels like being hammered hard. Derivative World feels better, perhaps because Su Xiao has gotten used to it. The teleportation sensation in the Real World is relatively gentle, and as for War World, there is virtually no sensation of ’being hammered’ during teleportation.

According to Su Xiao’s speculation, War World should be a precious resource to Paradise. After securing ownership, it becomes a Trial World used for Contractor tier ascension assessments and more, serving multiple purposes.

What Su Xiao is about to do is help Reincarnation Paradise seize War World. During the World Struggle War, there’s no need to worry about allies stabbing in the back. With Reincarnation Paradise’s style, whoever dares backstab will be forcibly executed.

Su Xiao has encountered Contractors from the rival Apocalypse Paradise before. There, forced executions are rare as punishment unless the Main Task fails consecutively five times, triggering this ’brutal’ punishment after being sent to the Punishment World.

However, here in Reincarnation Paradise, forced execution is just daily routine. Over 90% of the Main Task’s penalties involve forced execution. Over time, Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise don’t care much or are simply used to it.

If every Paradise has its own atmosphere, then Reincarnation Paradise is a high-yield ground for lunatics, psychopaths, and evil men.

Out of ten Contractors, at least six have personality issues, while the remaining four include one outright lunatic, one neurotic, and two who might be normal. Note, might be; these so-called normal ones have a high chance of being disguised refined lunatics.

Apocalypse Paradise is different; its punishment mechanisms are relatively mild, ensuring over 80% of its Contractors are normal people. For them, tasks resemble high-risk jobs rather than life-and-death games.

It’s imaginable what happens when Reincarnation Paradise and Apocalypse Paradise go to war. Su Xiao participated in the last World Struggle War. Apocalypse Paradise’s Contractors were hammered to the point of questioning their lives, and during the late stages, those ’Little Flowers’ actually fled.

It is worth mentioning that the girls in Apocalypse Paradise are mostly cute, and soft cute unlike Reincarnation Paradise where out of ten beautiful women, six are goddesses (goddesses of mental illness).

Precisely because of this, Apocalypse Paradise experiences situations with one hero leading 999 burdens. Back then, Queen Xi was incredibly strong, a memory Su Xiao vividly recollects. She was the only Contractor he met who could withstand two Apollo missiles in enclosed terrain—Queen Xi with ten lives was indeed hard to kill.

However, ten lives were of no practical use. Even if Xi had twenty lives in that situation, she would still die in the Dusk Temple. ℴ

If Apollo couldn’t kill her, there were also Taliban Player·Black Blood, Sister Control·Yanchen, and the likes of Counterfeit Clown waiting for her—Queen Xi was destined for defeat.

The emergence of strong individuals like Queen Xi in Apocalypse Paradise is no accident. Despite most Contractors there being somewhat weak, their sheer numbers are large.

The mild punishment mechanism ensures the quantity of Contractors, allowing those with potential to grow.

Conversely, in Reincarnation Paradise, once Contractors grow, no matter how brutal the battleground, they can adapt within a short time and thrive. In a 1v1 duel, Reincarnation Paradise’s Contractors can hammer 99% of Apocalypse Paradise’s Contractors.

Compared to the old rival Apocalypse Paradise, Su Xiao is more curious about the situation in Holy Sanctuary Paradise. Just hearing the name gives Su Xiao a foreboding feeling.

[Remote Spatial Transfer preparation in progress, estimated to start in 17 minutes and 23 seconds.]

Receiving the hint from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the room. He kept pondering whether with three sides involved in the World Struggle War, is it a chaotic triple battle or two against one?

Contractors participating in a Tier Four World Struggle War are obviously Tier Four, with no Tier Three or Tier Five place interference.

Su Xiao does not know how Apocalypse Paradise calculates Contractor tiers, but he knows one thing: Contractors reaching Tier Four must have participated in a World Struggle War.

Following this line of reasoning, after the last World Struggle War, the Contractors in Apocalypse Paradise clearly learned how terrifying the lunatics in Reincarnation Paradise can be, hence there’s a high chance they might ally with Holy Sanctuary Paradise.

If that’s the case, then it’s a two against one, or some party might start as a bystander during the initial phase, wait for the other two tough factions to fight it out, and then jump out to grab benefits—the Contractors in Reincarnation Paradise are not likely to be the bystanders. No, rather, it should be said, they are certainly the fiercest antagonists.

After exiting the exclusive room, Su Xiao headed straight to the trading market, which is packed with Contractors, almost to the point of congestion.

L1ods of equipment were placed on stalls, prices decreased by at least 30%, a sacrifice by Workers and merchants. If Paradises lose the World Struggle War, even if they don’t participate in battle, they won’t have good outcomes.

While equipment prices have decreased, Healing items prices have at least tripled, the result of merchants trying hard to suppress prices; otherwise, prices would have increased by at least five times.

Even so, Healing items are still not available in the trading market. Whenever recovery food or potions appear, they are quickly bought up by members of mid-large Adventure teams.

Most Contractors appeared worried, while a small portion remain indifferent, and even more, found a place to nap, waiting for the World Struggle War to start.

[Announcement: Remote Spatial Transfer preparation complete, all-tier Contractors please get ready.]

[Announcement: The opponents in this World Struggle War are ’Apocalypse Paradise’ and ’Holy Sanctuary Paradise’.]

[Announcement: Void Tree Neutral Arbitration in progress...]

[Announcement: Arbitration complete, during the World Struggle War, Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, and Holy Sanctuary Paradise cannot provide any meaningful support to their Shuttlers.]

[Announcement: According to Initial Rule article 1548762, Void Tree is the absolute neutral party.]
