I’m A Wasteland Giant-Chapter 325 - 324: The Third Mission
Chapter 325: Chapter 324: The Third Mission
Du Gang, while passing through the platform, noticed his physical body, which had arrived in a carriage.
To his surprise, this physical body was intact, still sitting in the carriage.
The attendant who had been driving the carriage previously was nowhere to be seen.
“This body is still here…”
After a brief contemplation, he made up his mind, took two steps at once, swiftly jumped onto the carriage, and gathered up the body.
Although this body somewhat resembled a radar, which could be tracked by others, it wouldn’t be a problem as long as it was kept in the small world.
Moreover, it might prove useful in the future, so it was worth keeping it as a backup.
Once he had gotten this done, Du Gang didn’t linger any longer, but continued his journey along the stone path towards Yangchuanzhou.
Along the way, he finally received a message from the Heavenly Court.
His third mission world was about to be opened.
Interestingly, the location to enter the Heavenly Court was different each time, but always near his current location.
This time, the entrance to the Heavenly Court was underwater, right beside the stone path.
“Whoosh!”
Without any hesitation, once he reached the location, he swiftly entered into the Heavenly Court.
[You will be transported to the second-level mini-world in three minutes, please get ready…]
[The specific mission will start after arriving at the target mini-world…]
After three minutes, Du Gang’s figure flashed, disappearing back into the Heavenly Court’s space.
“Whoosh!”
With the familiar purple transportation force emerging, Du Gang once again appeared in a strange place.
He looked around, an incredulous expression on his face.
“I’m the first one here again. I don’t know what kind of world it is this time, or who I’ll meet!”
Just then, a sudden prompt rang out.
[No.10420 Kou Yingwu] requests to team up with you, please make a decision within 30 seconds.
“Yes/No?”
Du Gang was taken aback, quickly realising, “This is Kou Yingwu using a team-up tool!”
He didn’t hesitate, promptly choosing yes.
The next second, with a flash of purple, Kou Yingwu made his appearance right next to him.
“Hahaha!”
The moment Kou Yingwu appeared, he was full of boisterous laughter, rushing to embrace Du Gang.
Seeing this, Du Gang sidestepped, avoiding him.
“Please, don’t start with hugging and embracing, I’m straight!”
Hearing these words, Kou Yingwu did not get angry. Instead, he broke into laughter, “Don’t worry, I have no designs on you, bro, I finally teamed up with you! My god, you have no idea what I went through in the last mission world…”
Du Gang waved his hand dismissively, “We’ll talk about this after going in, where’s Tao Xuanzhu? Isn’t she coming this round?”
He didn’t know much about the team-up mechanism, and didn’t know what the specific situation was.
After hearing these words, Kou Yingwu slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot!”
Upon saying this, he closed his eyes, looking like he was communicating with the Heavenly Court.
Not long after, another flash of purple light shimmered, and immediately, Tao Xuanzhu appeared.
As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere quieted down immediately.

She was dressed in a simple and elegant white palace costume, and even though she wore a considerable amount of fabrics, the outline of her perfect figure could still be seen.
The silky long hair she always let loose was now gathered up, making her appear incredibly spirited and noble.
Her delicate hands looked so fragile that they seemed they could break with a simple squeeze, inciting an urge in others to hold them.
Even more astonishing was her youthful, tender face. Her sparkling bright eyes, delicately curved eyebrows, peach-like complexion, and ravishing beauty.
Her lips were as if they had been touched by rouge, her teeth appearing like jade. A single smile from her was like a breath of fresh spring wind. She had a heavenly beauty and a fairy-like appearance.
Even the steadfast Du Gang was momentarily dazzled, a rush of admiration and yearning rising in his heart.
But he quickly snapped out of it, and the smitten look in his eyes gradually faded.
“You’re here!”
Hearing this, Tao Xuanzhu’s lips curled upward, her eyes shining like the crescent moon, gleaming like a myriad of stars. As she smiled, a hint of mischief was unveiled.
“Isn’t it okay for me to come?”
Hearing this soft, dripping sweet voice, Du Gang shook his head in stupefaction.
On the side, Kou Yingwu naturally felt the same, but he quickly noticed that Tao Xuanzhu’s eyes were locked onto Du Gang. He sighed in his heart, seeming regretful yet resigned, and finally turned his head away.
Smelling the faint fragrance wafting from her, Du Gang unexpectedly found himself on the verge of being completely ensnared, but he quickly sobered up again.
He frowned slightly, “Speak properly, what do you want?”
Unconsciously, he thought that Tao Xuanzhu was using some sort of charm on him.
Tao Xuanzhu gently laughed, her voice melodious as water, “I didn’t do anything, it seems like you’re the one with some issues!”
Du Gang himself was a bit suspicious, and hearing these words, he didn’t retort but instead changed the topic.
“This time, is it just the three of us, or will there be others?”
This was his first time teaming up, and there was much he didn’t know.
Hearing that he wouldn’t have to be a third wheel anymore, Kou Yingwu quickly replied, “It’s not just the three of us. The difficulty is still based on the number of people…”
Du Gang nodded and said softly, “Then let’s pretend we don’t know each other for now, and decide what to do after we observe the specific situation!”
“Okay!”
The two replied in unison.
Teaming up with Du Gang appealed to them because of his wisdom, and on such matters, there naturally wasn’t any disagreement.
While awaiting the arrival of others, Du Gang added, “Since you’ve come in with me this time, remember not to be the first to announce the number of rounds. Even when it’s time to announce it, try to match it with those who come in later…”
His meaning was simple. If the fourth person announces three or four rounds, but they announce eight or nine, they would blatantly expose the fact that they teamed up.
The two nodded once again, having no objections.
Thus, the three of them pretended not to know each other, forming a triangle, each standing on one side in silence.
They didn’t have to wait long for the fourth person to appear.
What was surprising was that the fourth person was also a young woman.
She was dressed in a pale yellow brocade lily skirt, draped in a light red embroidered satin cloak, her dark hair decorated with a butterfly wing-shaped hairpin. She looked full of vivacity and youthful energy.
She looked glowing and radiant, beautiful and exquisite. Her nearly perfect appearance was like a jade figurine, impossible to find any imperfections.
Du Gang was also slightly moved in his heart. The newly arrived young woman was a beauty who did not seem any less spectacular than Tao Xuanzhu, a rare sight indeed.
She had a small face, slender figure, her skin clear and smooth like jade, epitomising elegance and refinement, her beauty was an exquisite sight to behold.
Upon her appearance, she quickly scanned the area.
When she saw Tao Xuanzhu’s face, she paused, her eyes changing slightly.
Without a doubt, Tao Xuanzhu was a beauty just like her, making her inwardly praise the sight of a celestial beauty.
The beauty of the two was different.
She was the type of petite beauty that people could not resist wanting to hug and pat on the head.
As for Tao Xuanzhu, she was like a fairy descended from heaven, elegant and beautiful, like a blossoming flower. People revered her, and some felt an irresistible urge to kneel before her.
The petite girl who just entered, simply looked at Tao Xuanzhu and moved her lips twice but didn’t say anything.
With that, silence fell upon the arena once again.
People started to wait again.
As beams of purple light continued to flicker, the waiting area gradually began to fill up. freewёbnoνel.com
Finally, in the ninth minute, the last person arrived.
Looking around, the place that was vacant before was now packed with thirteen reincarnators.
“So many people, huh?”
The last person revealed a hint of seriousness. In the Heavenly Court, the number of people for each task somewhat represented the difficulty of the task.
“A large crowd is not a problem. The one combating the world’s will is just a green energy. It’s nothing big…” remarked the penultimate entrant, a man clothed in ornate brocade. He wore a paper fan on his waist, a purple embroidered flower in his collar, mustering the appearance of a carefree aristocrat.
“Purple Sister?”
Many were puzzled by his statement and turned their heads to see what he was referring to.
The man with the purple embroidered flower chuckled. “By ‘Purple Sister,’ of course, I am referring to the purple energy battling the world’s will below!”
“Purple Sister, huh? That’s an interesting name, you got quite the creativity!”
“Indeed, this is a good nickname. I’ll use it!”
“There’s nothing to fear about having more people this time. It’s not like we’re in a red world!”
Many among the crowd nodded in agreement, accepting his words.
“True enough. It’s not a red world. Ordinary worlds are so-so. This time, it’s a green world, perhaps it’s a closed-room type?”
Closed-room?
Du Gang squinted his eyes. He had felt something strange about the purple energy combating the world’s will, and now that he heard about it, it made sense. His first mission was a confrontation with blue energy.
Could it be that in a blue world, it’s crucial to kill the “Chosen One”?
While the red world presented a nightmare-level difficulty, survival chances were slim.
On the other hand, the green world, based on what others were saying, could possibly be a locked-room escape type!
Could it be another round of Wolfman Kill mode…
Du Gang soon remembered of the red world scenario when none among the nine were acting as the wolfman.
In this green world, would locked-room deciphering be the fundamental requirement, or would it be like Wolfman Kill mode, with no established rules?
Soon enough, someone asked the question he had in mind.
“Closed-room mechanisms are relatively straightforward; all we need to do is find clues. The ultimate goal would be to find our way out.
The last reincarnator who walked in proposed: “We are running out of time, why don’t we introduce ourselves quickly!”
“I’ll go first!”
He hurriedly introduced himself: “My name is Ji Shan, I’ve experienced 15 worlds!”
Du Gang and the others were surprised, they didn’t expect this last person to have gone through so many missions.
The man with the purple embroidery who entered just before Ji Shan then confidently introduced himself: “My name is Cai Junlang, I have also experienced 15 worlds!”
Upon hearing his name, some people couldn’t help but feel disdain, thinking it sounded like the name of a seasoned playboy…
So, everyone began to introduce themselves by name and the number of missions they had completed, beginning from the rear to the front.
It wasn’t long before they got to the sweet petite girl who entered fourth.
It was simply an attention magnet to watch her introduce herself. Her stunning beauty left the audiences intrigued about her name.
Not only was she petite, but she had a sweet and soft voice.
With a sweet smile, she said in a pleasant yet crispy tone, “My name is Zhang Xinyi, I have been through 6 missions.”
After her, Kou Yingwu introduced himself: “Kou Yingwu, 6 missions.”
In line with Du Gang’s advice, he chose to conceal the fact that he had been through ten worlds.
The attention of the crowd didn’t linger on him for too long and shifted to Tao Xuanzhu.
Among the thirteen present, there were three women, of whom two were breathtakingly beautiful. Among them, Tao Xuanzhu’s poised and graceful demeanor held everyone’s gaze.
Apart from Tao Xuanzhu and Zhang Xinyi, the fifth person to enter was also a woman, although she had a common face and had a low profile, hence didn’t receive much attention.
Tao Xuanzhu moved her red lips slightly, producing a sound as clear as a bell.
“Tao Xuanzhu, 6 worlds.”
Her voice was crystal clear, just like a singing oriole, it was soothing to hear.
She didn’t lie, she indeed had been through 6 missions.
After her, it was Du Gang’s turn, he was the last one.
But now, all eyes were still glued to Tao Xuanzhu, they were simply not interested in him.
Du Gang didn’t bother either, and softly said: “Du Gang, 2 missions.”
“Huh?”
Those who were initially admiring Tao Xuanzhu’s beauty now appeared stunned, they turned their heads towards Du Gang, seemingly doubtful of his statement.
“Two missions?”
Many of them were puzzled. How did a participant with only two missions end up matched with them?
Because the last few participants each had been through a dozen or so missions.
Could it be, that with only two missions, Du Gang already had strength comparable to theirs?
Many were somewhat skeptical but did not voice their doubts- not out of unwillingness, but due to time constraints.
[World activation: Please enter within one minute…]
[In this world, the scene is green and peaceful, killing reincarnators will not give a reward.]
[This mission type is ‘Jolly Game’, everyone has a ticket, please complete every game content according to the stipulated time.]
[Reward: 13 Merit Points (Note: The number of Merit Points received varies according to individual contributions in a mission with multiple individuals)]
[Punishment for failure: Erasure!]
13 Merit Points?
Du Gang was stunned, the reward had caught him off guard.
The first time he was on a mission, the reward was to split one Merit Point among five, and on his second mission, which was a red world mission, the base reward was just one Merit Point per participant.
However, this time, the reward is a whopping 13 Merit Points, implying that with 13 participants, each could get one Merit Point at least.
What’s different this time is that those who perform well can receive more, while those who perform poorly would receive less.
Without uttering a word, he glanced at the group that entered last.
He noticed they showed no signs of surprise, suggesting that experiencing such situations were pretty normal and common.
This indicated that the first world he entered was more like a trial, where the difficulty and rewards had been reduced.
Before he could process this further, a purple light flickered.
All 13 participants were transported to the green world at the same time. They found themselves at the entrance of what appeared to be a creepy amusement park.
