The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration
Chapter 185 Mission 2
In the novel "Quick Transmigration: The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder," Chapter 185, Mission 2, under Shui Ruo's guidance, Ruo Shui boarded the spaceship that traveled between various floating islands, heading towards Island 201.
The journey required paying a certain amount of crystals, but it seemed that Ruoshui didn't lack crystals. He had been paying for everything along the way, and had booked two top-tier VIP cabins as soon as he boarded the ship. Ruoshui didn't have to worry about these trivial matters at all.
Although they are all called spaceships, these spaceships are quite different from those in the interstellar world.
These spaceships are real ships, and they look similar to ships that sail on water; they even have sails.
The only difference is that this ship has rows of wings on both sides, and where the rudder used to be, there is now a round energy ball about the size of a basketball.
That energy ball is the power source of the spaceship, and it also serves as the steering wheel. The person at the helm can control the direction of the spaceship by placing their hands on that energy ball.
The spacecraft is surrounded by a transparent protective shield, like a glass sphere enveloping the entire hull.
With this protective shield, when the spaceship flies very high in the sky, even if the people on the spaceship stand on the deck and walk around, they will not be affected by the airflow.
These spaceships are powered by spiritual energy. Their bulky hulls don't seem like they could possibly float in the air, but thanks to spiritual energy, it all becomes possible.
It is conceivable how important spiritual energy is to this world. So much so that later, Ye Xiao forcibly concentrated all the spiritual energy in the First Heaven, making it impossible for people in other places to move an inch without spiritual energy.
Since Shui Ruo had booked a VIP cabin, the two of them were pampered with good food and drinks by the spaceship staff during their stay, making it much more comfortable than when Ruo Shui was alone.
After three days on the ship, the spaceship finally came to a stop on the third day.
The spaceship was docked in a huge plaza, where various spaceships that traveled between the islands were also parked.
The ground of this square has intersecting lines that extend in all directions, emitting a faint blue light.
These patterns are energy circuits, used to replenish the spaceship's spiritual energy after landing.
Rectangular, glowing signs floated above the square, bearing various place names; these signs were also formed from spiritual energy.
Beneath these signs, spaceships were neatly parked, shuttling back and forth to the locations indicated by the signs.
It is because of these signs that countless secret spaceships flying from the sky are not parked haphazardly.
Countless spaceships are flying overhead, some just departing, and others heading towards the plaza.
The ground was as smooth and flat as a mirror, and with the blue energy circuits and neatly parked spaceships on it, it was an indescribably magnificent sight.
This is the scene that Ruoshui saw as soon as she stepped off the spaceship.
In the distant low sky, there were also many large screens made of spiritual energy, all floating in the air.
Some of these large screens displayed the spacecraft's launch time, while others broadcast gossip.
Ruoshui noticed that the words "Wanted" were prominently displayed on the largest screen.
The large screen floated in the air, about ten meters high and fifteen meters wide. At the very top of the screen were the three large red characters "Wanted," and below those three characters were several lines of smaller text.
"The lord of Island 576 was exterminated. When we arrived at the scene, only corpses remained, all of them in extremely painful ways. This shows that the murderer's methods were extremely cruel, utterly inhuman and ruthless. In view of the deep friendship between our great and handsome Island Lord 201 and Island Lord 576, the Island Lord has ordered a nationwide manhunt for the murderer, with a reward of 100,000 high-grade crystals. According to the eyewitness description, the murderer's approximate appearance is as follows."
Ruoshui: Who on earth wrote this arrest warrant?! How did you come to the conclusion that I'm extremely cruel, utterly wicked, and insane?!
And then there's the great and handsome Island Owner No. 201... Damn, even when writing a wanted poster, he doesn't forget to flatter the Island Owner. He's so dedicated! The Island Owner would be letting him down if he didn't get the Best Employee Award.
Below this line of small print was a portrait. The moment Shui Ruo saw the portrait, she burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, this portrait... I never expected you to look like this, hahaha," Shui Ruo ruthlessly mocked Ruoshui.
Ruoshui was also speechless. No wonder Ruoshui laughed; that portrait was just too bizarre.
The portrait depicts a muscular man with a fierce-looking face, but he's wearing a cute pink dress.
His strong, powerful muscles made his clothes bulge, as if they would burst at any moment.
Not only that, the burly man in the portrait also had two small pigtails with two big pink flowers on them, which was simply too much to bear.
"Don't laugh, hold it in!" Ruoshui said fiercely to Shui Ruo.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh, I won't laugh." After saying that, Shui Ruo turned to the other side with her back to Ruo Shui, but her shoulders were shaking incessantly.
Ruoshui: You're definitely laughing, aren't you? You're laughing, aren't you!
Ruoshui sighed, wondering whether she should be happy to be drawn so badly that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her, thus saving her a lot of trouble, or she should be sad that she was drawn so horribly.
However, Ruoshui noticed that Shui Ruo suddenly stopped laughing, straightened up, and took out his folding fan.
Ruoshui was about to ask him what was wrong, but when she saw that everyone in the square was looking at the two of them, she understood what was going on.
This guy! Does he really need to be so concerned about his image?!
"Haha, why aren't you laughing anymore? There are so many people watching here. They might have already seen how silly you were just now. No matter how much you try to act cool, it doesn't change the fact that you're a fool at heart," Ruoshui mocked, looking at Shui Ruo who had suddenly become serious.
Shui Ruo covered his mouth with his folding fan and retorted to Ruoshui, "How could a rough woman like you understand the importance of image?"
Ruoshui: Just how important is your image to you?!
But I must say, when Shui Ruo gets serious, he really does resemble a celestial being descended to earth. Dressed in white, coupled with his unparalleled beauty, he is simply a devilishly handsome man.
But only Ruoshui knew that this guy was simply an idiot.
Shui Ruo was already strikingly beautiful, and with Ruo Shui, who was equally stunning, the two were quickly surrounded by onlookers in the square. To avoid trouble, Ruo Shui grabbed Shui Ruo and hurriedly left the square.
After leaving the square, since they had arrived early and there was still some time before the island owner's birthday banquet, Ruoshui and Shui Ruo found an inn on the island to rest.
Compared to the place where the spaceships are docked, the island is much more backward. It seems that the place where the spaceships are docked must have been built on a more advanced floating island.
Ruoshui's resting place is a quaint inn, similar to those in the ancient world. On the first floor of the inn is a place for people to dine.
On the second floor, after going up the stairs, there is a long corridor with guest rooms on both sides.
Next to Ruoshui's room was Shui Ruo's room. After settling in, Shui Ruo knocked on Ruoshui's door and asked her to come downstairs for dinner.
The two walked downstairs side by side, and at that moment, another person was walking towards them from the opposite side of the corridor.
Opposite Ruoshui and the other woman was an ordinary-looking man.
He is of average height and build, and wears common clothes. He is very ordinary, and you would never notice him if you threw him into a crowd.
However, upon closer inspection, one will find that although this person has an ordinary appearance, his eyes are very sharp, and there always seems to be a hint of ferocity in them.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Ruoshui's mind: "Master, the mission target has appeared. This person is Ye Xiao."
Ruoshui was overjoyed; she hadn't expected to encounter her mission target here.
The story only mentions that he attended the island owner's birthday party, but it doesn't say where he lived before the party.
For the past few days, Shui Ruo has been taking care of Ruoshui's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Unlike Ruoshui, Shui Ruo is not only very pretentious but also extremely particular.
That guy doesn't seem to be short of money. These past few days, he's been choosing the best food and lodging. This inn is probably the most upscale one around.
Since Ye Xiao comes from the First Heaven, he naturally wouldn't be short of money, and he would stay in the best place. Therefore, the possibility of meeting him at this inn is quite high.
The man also noticed Ruoshui and the other person, but he didn't pay any attention to Ruoshui. He just gave Ruoshui a vague look and then brushed past them.
Ruoshui turned her head and saw him walk into a room opposite hers.
After noting down the room where he was, Ruoshui did not go downstairs with Shui Ruo.
The food at this inn was quite plentiful, and with such a discerning person by her side, Ruoshui never had to worry about eating poorly.
As Ruoshui was engrossed in her meal, looking at the sumptuous feast on the table, she spoke up.
"I never expected to run into him here," Shui Ruo said to herself.
"Who?" Ruoshui looked up as she put a piece of meat into her mouth.
"It's nothing. We just saw that person in the corridor. He's quite famous in the First Heaven."
Shui Ruo looked at Ruo Shui, whose cheeks were stuffed full, and said something, then quietly put a piece of meat into Ruo Shui's bowl.
"That person's name is Ye Xiao. It seems he was born on Broken Island. Later, because of his outstanding talent, he made a name for himself in the First Heaven." Shui Ruo explained to Ruo Shui that she didn't seem to know Ye Xiao.
"In the First Heaven, capable people will attract the attention of various powerful forces, and ordinary people will also choose to join these powerful forces."
"Firstly, it's easier to have a powerful backer, making it easier to survive in the First Heaven and less likely to be bothered. Secondly, with these powerful figures supporting us, we won't have to worry about food and clothing."
"But Ye Xiao is different. Even when he is so poor that he has trouble even eating, he is unwilling to join any faction."
"It's not that no force has threatened him, trying to force him to join, but those who threatened him were usually small forces, and he fought them all off."
“And powerful forces disdain to force others into doing such things, so even though he has been in the First Heaven for so long, he is still alone,” Shui Ruo said.
After listening to Shui Ruo's words, Ruo Shui couldn't help but think to herself that Ye Xiao didn't want to join these powerful forces because he looked down on them.
Ye Xiao has always been arrogant. In his eyes, no one is worthy to control him. He is unwilling to join any faction because he believes in his heart that one day he will rule all these major forces.
Although he was incredibly arrogant and self-centered, in the story he actually succeeded in ruling over all the forces in the First Heaven.
However, if he didn't have that special tool that allows him to travel through different time periods, I wonder if he would still have that ability.
In a world where the distribution of fortune is relatively fair, having his cheat-like abilities confiscated, it's uncertain whether he can continue to reach the top.
As Ruoshui ate her meal, she was lost in thought when she saw Ye Xiao walking down the stairs.
He was accompanied by a follower who seemed to respect Ye Xiao very much.
"Mr. Ye, the island owner said he hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you very much. So, as soon as he knew you were coming, he immediately sent me to pick you up," the henchman said.
"The island lord has prepared the best room for you at his residence. Everything was prepared by his personal instructions, which shows how much he values you."
"That's enough, I know. Shut up and lead the way," Ye Xiao said coldly, seemingly too lazy to say another word.
He didn't even glance at his lackey while he was speaking.
The lackey frowned. He was displeased with the arrogant attitude of the island lord, but since the island lord was a guest, the lackey did not dare to give him a meaningful look and continued to lead the way with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, I was being presumptuous," the henchman said respectfully.
He then wisely stopped talking and focused on leading the way for him.
Seeing that Ye Xiao had left, Ruoshui was not in a hurry and continued to enjoy her food.
"My idiot master, all you know is eating. The mission target has already left. Aren't you worried?" the system asked.
"What's the rush? He can't run away from the temple. Anyway, he's going to the island lord's birthday banquet. We can just go to the banquet then," Ruoshui said.
Moreover, even if he was anxious, it was useless. The plot only mentioned that Ye Xiao felt that there was a particularly special gift among the many congratulatory gifts. After failing to get it from the island lord, he killed the island lord to steal the treasure.
Therefore, Ruoshui didn't know what the gift was like and couldn't intercept it beforehand. She would only find out at the birthday banquet.
For the next few days, Ruoshui ate and drank at the inn, waiting for the birthday banquet to arrive, without showing any signs of being in a hurry.
Finally, the day of the island lord's birthday banquet arrived, and people from many islands began to go to the island lord's mansion to present their congratulatory gifts.
On the streets, you can see processions carrying all sorts of congratulatory gifts everywhere.
Ruoshui, along with Shui Ruo, mingled with the group and headed towards the gate of the island lord's mansion.
Although Shui Ruo didn't know what Ruo Shui was planning to do, he still followed behind her silently.
Ruoshui mingled among the gift-giving crowd and carefully observed the people who went in. They all swaggered in, and the guards standing at the door didn't seem to care about the identities of those going in. They barely even looked at them. It seemed like it was feasible to just sneak in like that.
However, just as Ruoshui was about to swagger in, the guards at the door unexpectedly stopped her.
