There were three people in front of him.
One was a bulky martial artist wearing a gauntlet, his gaze shrewdly observing his surroundings.
One was a 15-16 year old young man, wearing a black uniform with a reserved expression on his face.
The last one was a skinny, dark-skinned man with a bare upper body, three skulls hanging in front of his chest, wearing a grass skirt that gave off a different kind of ferocious aura.
While preparing for battle, they were also quickly observing their surroundings.
— — apparently because Gu Qing Shan was a newcomer, both the young man and the skinny man didn't pay any attention to him.
It was the kind-looking martial artist who spoke up:
"Listen up, newcomer"
"You must be a powerful Professionist from the world you were born in, aren't you?"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with that.
The martial artist looked at his expression and continued: "Each of us who were transported to this place represents the world we came from, the strongest Combatants of that world"
"In this place, you must complete endless quests of exploration, if you succeed, you will survive and your world will receive benefits; otherwise, you will die"
"Die? If we're so powerful, how could we die? "Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.
The martial artist looked at Gu Qing Shan in confusion and asked: "Although you're a newcomer, how come you don't know anything?"
Gu Qing Shan was also a bit confused.
This place was created by the Four Evil Gods, so with the Matriarch of Myriad Earths' level of expertise, she should have arranged everything flawlessly, so a newcomer like me should at least have some sort of explanation, right?
But there was nothing.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I entered this place by accident — — perhaps an accidental entry like me is a special case?"
The martial artist replied: "You should receive a preliminary explanation, then receive a weapon of your expertise, as well as a small storage space to store everything you find during your exploration"
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "I don't"
The martial artist scratched his head and muttered in confusion: "That's strange …"
The other two had been standing coldly on one side, only now did they both look at Gu Qing Shan.
The youth said thoughtfully: "A newcomer, and a newcomer who has not received guidance from the four gods …"
The tall man in the grass skirt grinned and said, "Poor guy, he doesn't know what he's going to face."
The three skulls that hung in front of his chest floated into the air and emitted thousands of will-o '-the-wisps.
A murderous intent emanated from his body.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and took a step back. She waved her hand and said, "Why do you want to kill him? Do you still want to fight among yourselves at this time? I bet you're no match for me, so don't waste your life. "
The dark-skinned tall man spat in disdain and muttered:
"You don't know anything … What an arrogant newbie. Just nice, my supplies are almost used up, and my witchcraft also needs to absorb some souls in preparation for the next mission."
The young man crossed his arms and said, "If you can leave his flesh and blood to me, I will help you. This way, we can save our strength."
"Deal," the dark-skinned man said.
The young man smiled and slowly lowered his hands, pulling out a long sniper rifle from thin air.
"You take the front, I'll take the back," the youth said.
"Very well"
The dark-skinned man smirked and slightly lowered his body, ready to pounce at the very next second.
Gu Qing Shan stood still without moving.
A faint glow flashed briefly in his eyes before disappearing.
The Secret Art [Water Flow Severance] from before had evolved into a Huang Quan Divine Skill, and Huang Quan Divine Skills weren't to be trifled with.
[Forgetting River Slash] had already been prepared. Although these two are strong, it's still wishful thinking if they think they can survive a single glance from me.
As the battle was about to erupt, a cold mechanical voice suddenly resounded from the void of space:
[The third phase of the mission is about to begin]
[Please accept the new mission:]
[There is a ruin in the wilderness, after reaching it, you will see a strange corpse deep inside the ruin]
[Please attempt to approach the corpse, after confirming that there is no danger, wait for further instructions]
[Attention, the mission has begun]
[Anything unrelated to the mission will result in a negative score, leading to the baptism of the Apocalypse]
The mechanical voice disappeared.
The young man and the lanky man's expressions both changed.
"Ah, there's no time to kill him" the lanky man regretfully said.
"The mission is more important"
Saying so, the young man had already flown away.
He was cautiously flying at a moderate speed, heading deeper into the wilderness.
The lanky man glanced at Gu Qing Shan one last time before also flying away.
— — -they've left.
The martial artist turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: "I also have to leave, otherwise both I and my world will be erased"
"Is this the punishment for failing the mission?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes" the martial artist replied.
At this point, the cold mechanical voice resounded again: [Please act immediately, or you will be erased]
The martial artist and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.
The martial artist was unwilling to accept this: "Hurry up and leave!"
Gu Qing Shan saw the martial artist's eyes filled with anger and helplessness.
The martial artist no longer cared to talk to Gu Qing Shan, leapt forward and hurriedly ran towards the wilderness.
Only Gu Qing Shan was left.
"Hah, how absurd, but War God UI, why didn't you even give me a single notification?"
He sighed and casually asked.
His Soul Points was deducted. The War God UI replied: [Because you don't have a mission]
"Ah? I don't have one? "
As Gu Qing Shan was about to chase after him, she stopped as she heard that.
[Yes, you don't] the War God UI replied.
His Soul Points were deducted again.
Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth, about to say something. Suddenly, a series of faint 'kacha' 'kacha' sounds could be heard.
Gu Qing Shan looked down to see that the black watch on her wrist was lightly turning.
On the dial, the 12 scales were divided into black and white sections. 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, a total of 6 scales were in the white section, while the other 6 scales were in the black section.
The hand quickly turned and slowly pointed at a certain scale in the white section.
11.
The hand stopped in front of '11'.
An electronic voice resounded from the watch: [Connection complete, identity confirmed]
A second later, the cold mechanical voice resounded from the void of space again:
[Your majesty, Matriarch of Myriad Earths, the scavenger mission has begun, please wait patiently for the results to be confirmed]
Gu Qing Shan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
— — -this' Twelve Scales Grasp of Infinite Rejection 'seems to contain a certain plan of the Four Evil Gods of the past.
Although they're all dead, their plan seems to have continued to this day.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and asked: "What is the content of this scavenger mission?"
The mechanical voice replied: [To explore the ruins within the 11th scale. After preliminary exploration, this place still contains great danger]
[To prevent the exploration from harming your majesty, the Quest System has been used to summon manpower to conduct a cannon fodder exploration]
[As you have personally participated in this mission, the difficulty of this mission has been increased by two levels]
[The exploration has begun!]
A screen of light descended from above and enveloped Gu Qing Shan.
[To prevent any danger from harming your majesty, the strongest barrier has been applied to your majesty. As soon as any danger occurs, you will be transported out immediately]
[Your majesty, the exploration has now officially begun]
Before Gu Qing Shan could say anything, a screen of light had already appeared in front of him.
In the wilderness, the real-time situation of the three people was being displayed on the screen, making it easy for Gu Qing Shan to check on them at any time.
Gu Qing Shan watched as the three of them sneaked into the ruins, avoiding numerous dangers before finally arriving in front of the corpse.
They all took out the tools they had prepared and began to examine the corpse.
While Gu Qing Shan was watching, the mechanical voice resounded again:
[Your majesty, this stage of the mission has not encountered any Apocalypse, it has been successfully completed]
[Please wait a moment, your majesty, I will immediately have the three cannon fodder members return to you and report the results]
A second later, the screen of light flashed.
The martial artist, the young man, and the dark-skinned lanky man all appeared not too far away from Gu Qing Shan.
The three of them were all surprised.
"What, you didn't participate in the mission and you're still alive!?" the martial artist exclaimed in shock.
The other two also looked at Gu Qing Shan in shock.
The mechanical voice resounded again:
「 Mortals, kneel down and report your harvest to the Gods 」
