No one knew how long had passed,
Fang Linyan felt like he just took a nap. He heard the sound of "beep beep beep beep beep" in a hazy state. This sound was not like an alarm, but more like an alarm clock's reminder.
Immediately afterward, a layer of faint mist blew on his face with a hint of freshness. A female voice also came into his ears, but this voice was obviously synthesized electronically. It was a bit mechanical and stiff.
"Dear passengers, welcome to travel on our Starlight Queen spacecraft. Your terminal has arrived. Please pack your luggage and be sure to disembark within 15 minutes to avoid inconvenience to your following itinerary."
Fang Linyan shook his head, wiped his face, and woke up immediately.
He turned his head and looked around. He found that he was no longer in the A7 departure cabin. Instead, he was in a comfortable and spacious cabin. Even the leather seat under him was the kind that he could both lie down and sit on.
Most of the people around him were still asleep, and even those who were awake looked like they had just woken up. They were all unfamiliar faces.
Fang Linyan immediately said in the team channel,
"Vulture, Goat, how are you guys?"
It seemed that Fang Linyan should be the first to wake up. After he called for more than 10 seconds, the 2 replied one after another,
“OK。”
"I'm fine."
Fang Linyan said solemnly,
"We can't rule out the possibility that those guys are also among the passengers, so let's be cautious."
"I'm wearing a blue coat and a knitted hat on my head. You guys report your dressing characteristics. Then, let's not gather together. Leave about 10 meters apart."
The group of people did as they were told. They quickly got off the spacecraft, and a vast starry sky appeared in front of them. They then found that they came to a slightly dilapidated starport.
While the 3 of them were at a loss, an arrow appeared on their retinas, pointing to a person waiting outside the barrier in front.
This person was a burly man with a burly figure. He was chewing gum in his mouth and held a sign in his hand with the words "Venture Capital Company" written on it. His name also appeared at the bottom.
FitzPulok.
Fang Linyan stood aside for a while. When the surrounding tourists were almost gone, he came to the burly man and said,
"Mr. FitzPulok?"
The burly man sized him up from head to toe a few times.
"You're the new adventurer team? Number JY918? "
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"Yes, I am Captain Wrench."
This macho man originally looked quite arrogant, but after Fang Linyan reported his name, his face suddenly showed a solemn expression,
"Are you the legendary Mr. Spanner? Could this be Mr. Goat? When I was drinking in the bar last time, I heard of your great name! "
"Is this one of your team members? Please come with me. "
Vulture couldn't help but size up the burly man when he saw him change from arrogance to deference.
"Strange, why did this guy change so quickly when he heard the boss's name?"
Mountain Goat excitedly said in the party channel.
"That's because we've all received three SSS ratings!"
Vulture sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That's right … Legend Level! You guys have obtained Legendary Points, no wonder! "
Looking at Mountain Goat's proud face, Vulture let out a long sigh. He hated himself for not being more decisive and directly joining the party. If that was the case, wouldn't he also be able to enjoy the feeling of making people gasp in amazement?
Soon, under FitzPulok's greeting, the 3 of them got on a flying car. Fang Linyan asked unintentionally,
"Mr. FitzPulok, are you the only one who came to pick us up?"
FitzPulok said,
"Yes, I'm the only one."
Fang Linyan immediately understood in his heart that the group of people who entered with him was most likely standing on the opposite side.
At this time, FitzPulok took out a contract and said,
"This is what we have discussed before. Please sign it. After signing, it will be convenient for me to upload and submit it to the union."
Fang Linyan looked at this contract and found that it was a standard standard contract. The general content was that an organization called "Venture Capital Company" hired their team to perform a task. The duration of the task was one week.
After not finding any traps, Fang Linyan signed his name with a pen. After signing, a clear prompt appeared on the retina,
Trial mission: Saving Ryan has been activated.
Mission difficulty: Nightmare SS.
Mission introduction: Ryan is the second son of the president of the Maersk Shipping Group. He is deeply loved by his father.
However, Ryan likes adventure, excitement, extreme sports, and hunting. This time, he followed an expedition team rashly to the undeveloped Yanig planet to perform a capture mission. He has been missing for 3 days.
Fortunately, the Maersk Shipping Group was very rich, and the president had great authority in the group.
Therefore, this time, the president of the Maersk Shipping Group specially hired a venture capital company to perform this rescue mission.
This company was a medium-sized military and security consulting company with its own armed forces. It could be said to have a mixed reputation in the market.
Because it was completely unscrupulous in performing missions, and it even slaughtered civilians. But it was precisely because of this that the mission completion rate was amazingly high.
Mission objective: Make Ryan free and send him safely to the semi-permanent fortress of Yanig planet: Camp Narazi.
Mission failure: The experience value of the JY918 team is reset to 0, and it drops to level 2.
Mission reward: The JY918 team is successfully promoted to level 4, and they can draw related team skills. The selected team skills will at least be evaluated S or above. There is a high chance of obtaining a team skill with an evaluation of S or above, and there is a certain chance of obtaining a team skill with an evaluation of SS.
***
When Fang Linyan officially received the trial mission, it was obvious that the goat and the vulture also received the same prompt.
When Fang Linyan was about to ask FitzPullok if there was any relevant detailed information, FitzPullok had already handed over something the size of a matchbox. With a light press on it, a projection screen was formed in mid-air.
"Now that the relevant contract has been signed, I will submit the relevant detailed information to you. You can read it, and it is strictly prohibited to leak it."
Suddenly, the relevant whole story and some important information about this matter appeared in front of Fang Linyan and the vulture.
It turned out that a new way of playing gladiators was beginning to become popular in the current human society. It allowed some humanoid races to enter the arena to fight bloody battles. This way of playing was similar to the ancient Roman Empire's beast fighting. It was very cruel, but it was very popular among the rich.
Although many human rights protection organizations believed that this way of playing was against human ethics and regarded as illegal, the owner of the arena took advantage of a loophole in the law. He believed that as long as the gladiators were not humans and were not citizens of the galactic member states, it could be carried out legally.
Therefore, in order to increase turnover, the arena owner did not hesitate to purchase strong humanoid races at a high price. Among them, the hill giants were the most popular. Each of these ferocious big guys could be sold at a high price.
Strictly speaking, the hill giants belonged to a species with a strong reproductive ability. According to the records, this humanoid creature with an average height of more than 3 meters was very cruel. They usually lived in groups, and at the same time, they enslaved weak groups. They relied on plundering and killing to survive.
The appearance of the hill giants was a bit like the ogres in fantasy novels. Not only were their skin rough and ugly, but they also had a conical horn on their heads. However, they did not have the elegant temperament of unicorns. In this cruel group, almost only males existed.
So far, no one had found a female in this race. The way of reproduction of the hill giants was even more special. As long as it was a female humanoid creature, she could be used as a reproduction tool for the giants. This group of rapists even sometimes didn't let go of large beasts that didn't look human at all.
Due to the extremely tenacious selectivity in the genes of the hill giants, no matter what race the mother was, she could give birth to male offspring that almost completely followed the paternal genes. This was also the common conclusion of many geneticists who were dedicated to studying this species.
Other than that, the Hill Giants were also the strangest group of creatures to date. The stronger the giant, the more likely it was to have a single eye. The more intelligent giants, on the other hand, had two heads on their heads, but scientists could not figure out why.
Fortunately, the civilization level of the giants was still in a primitive state. However, the target planet, Yanig, had been washed away by a cosmic storm. Under such circumstances, many creatures would mutate and even gain some special abilities.
At that time, the expedition team that Ryan was in had received two very expensive orders. The first order required them to capture the "one-eyed" and "two-headed" Hill Giants to provide supplies for the Gladiator Arena.
