Chapter 1154: Adventure Team

"Our team storage space has been frozen."

Although Sandstorm's tone was calm, his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails pierced his palms.

"So?"

Su Xiao didn't care whether the Starfire Adventure Team's team space was frozen. He wasn't a philanthropist; the team's changes had nothing to do with him.

"So we can't take out the kind of huge capital you imagine. If there are no resources in the team space, we are poorer than lone contractors."

Sandstorm took a deep breath. He had already talked to Old Smoke and Mizusaki earlier, but unfortunately, they didn't take out chips that made both of them tempted.

"So you intend to get the wolf with empty hands?"

"No, I'm prepared to give the entire adventure team to you!"

Sandstorm's gaze stared directly at Su Xiao; his eyes were red.

"Oh?"

"The entire adventure team, including everything in the team space. Advance declaration: after our leader died, the team space was completely frozen. Unless the adventure team's rank can be raised, it's absolutely impossible to take out items in the team space. As for the difficulty of raising a B-rank adventure team, that's very difficult; we can't do it, but you should be able to."

Sandstorm's trading chip was very interesting: it was their adventure team.

"After the adventure team is transferred to you, you must allow all of us to quit the team without penalty."

"Doesn't matter, I'll consider it."

Su Xiao was considering whether to agree to this transaction. If he obtained the Starfire Adventure Team, he certainly wouldn't recruit members from the outside. This was an unquestionable matter. With his identity as a Hunter, recruiting members was asking for trouble—no, it was asking for death.

What Su Xiao was looking at was the abilities attached to the adventure team, as well as the adventure team's special mechanism. If he really took over the adventure team, he would directly change the nature of the obtained adventure team in the Reincarnation Paradise, changing the adventure team into a single-person adventure team.

The so-called single-person adventure team was a balancing mechanism prepared by the Reincarnation Paradise for lone contractors. This type of adventure team couldn't recruit formal team members from the outside and was essentially different from multi-person adventure teams.

Or rather, this nature of adventure team, besides being able to enjoy the adventure team's skills, had no changes from going solo. It just so happened that what Su Xiao was looking at was only the abilities attached to the adventure team.

The abilities attached to the adventure team were very special; they were abilities that couldn't be obtained through professions or bloodlines. Many lone wolves would spend huge amounts of money to buy suitable adventure teams.

As for why they didn't participate in the assessment for forming an adventure team, the reason was very simple: it required at least 5 contractors to participate. Just finding five people absolutely wouldn't work; after all, they still had to enter the derived world for assessment later.

If Su Xiao obtained an adventure team, then there would only be him in this adventure team, at most trying to see if Bubu Wang or Amu could be added.

The benefits of getting an adventure team were twofold: one was the adventure team's unique skills, and the other was the super-large team storage space.

According to Su Xiao's understanding, wandering alone in the Reincarnation Paradise wasn't all called 'lone wolves'. The title 'lone wolf' was only aimed at a small number of people.

Most lone contractors were called lone contractors. They either didn't want to join an adventure team, or the adventure team didn't look down on them. When they executed quests, they would find teammates with similar situations to themselves through the Derived World Contact Platform, so they didn't count as going solo; going solo was just out of helplessness.

A true lone wolf first had to possess sufficiently comprehensive abilities to be able to independently deal with various emergencies, and second, possess a single-person mode adventure team, because the skills attached to the adventure team were all very unique.

To what extent would the adventure team's skills be unique? Su Xiao didn't know for the time being. He had only seen one type of team skill, which was the team skill of the Other Shore Flower Adventure Team.

According to Su Xiao's guess, the characteristics of that skill were as follows:

Once someone killed the main members of the Other Shore Flower, a special mark would be generated. This mark couldn't be sensed or probed. When that person approached the leader of the Other Shore Flower Adventure Team within a certain distance, the mark would be activated.

This ability made Su Xiao think of the hunting function unique to Hunters. The roles of the two were different, but the nature was very similar.

The Other Shore Flower was a Tier 1 adventure team, so the rank of their adventure team shouldn't be high, while the Starfire Adventure Team was a B-rank adventure team, which counted as a middle-to-lower rank.

The adventure team Su Xiao had seen with the highest rank was the Brigade. The Brigade's rank was SS-rank. It was said that the Brigade's team skills were very strong. Although they weren't team abilities that directly enhanced combat power, they could assist the members' growth and accelerate the members' growth speed.

The Brigade actually already counted as an outlier among adventure teams, and what was even more of an outlier was the single-person nature of the adventure team. No, this actually couldn't count as an adventure team anymore; it was more like a piece of equipment, or rather, more like a type of ability.

That's right, the single-person state adventure team was actually a type of special ability. This special ability had two functions: one was to attach one or several special skills, the quantity determined by the adventure team's level, and the second was to possess a huge storage space, the size also determined by the adventure team's level.

"How has Mr. Bai Ye considered it? By the way, after transferring the adventure team, the adventure team has one right to rename, and the mode can be changed."

Sandstorm was clearly waiting somewhat anxiously, and at the same time, she felt a bit empty in her heart. In her view, Su Xiao was a lunatic full of blood energy. Perhaps the previous moment he was still chatting and laughing with them, and the next moment he would suddenly draw his blade and kill.

Thinking of this point, the brows under Sandstorm's mask furrowed, habitually biting a small piece of her lower lip painted with lipstick. In fact, she thought too much. Even if the transaction couldn't be negotiated, Su Xiao wouldn't be so insane as to kill them. Doing that had no meaning at all and would only affect his selling of the Ant King's heart later. The gains and costs were not equal.

Scaring oneself sometimes was the most terrifying. Just like Sandstorm now, the things she thought about in her mind made cold sweat seep from her forehead. Truly a... strange woman with a unique brain circuit and a cold, rational style of doing things.

"Can, sign the contract."

Su Xiao took out a piece of the Ant King's heart. Seeing this piece of the Ant King's heart, Sandstorm's gaze was exceptionally hot.

Su Xiao had already drafted a contract. Of course, it was impossible to transfer the adventure team within the derived world; that still required waiting until returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.

To transfer an adventure team, it required the consent of the leader and more than 95% of the members. If the leader unfortunately died in battle, then it required the consent of the vice-leader + 100% of the members to successfully transfer the adventure team.

The adventure team was something contractors obtained after risking their lives in the assessment, belonging to the contractors' personal property, so of course, it could be transferred.

Now the Starfire Adventure Team was the second situation. As for these people not transferring the adventure team after receiving the Ant King's heart, that was fundamentally impossible.

As long as they signed the contract drafted by Su Xiao, once they breached the contract, these contractors would be subject to a penalty of 800,000 Paradise Coins + 15% reduction in all attributes per person.

In fact, there were even more ruthless ones, but the more ruthless the penalty, the higher the cost of drafting the contract. For example, forced execution, 90% reduction in all attributes could also be drafted. Of course, there were also some very strange penalties, such as forced change of gender, or complete loss of calculation ability, etc.

Not to mention forced change of gender, just losing calculation ability was enough to suffer. If one received that kind of penalty, one wouldn't even know what 1+1 equaled—simply a nightmare.

The contract drafted by Su Xiao, these remnants of Starfire certainly wouldn't try to breach. Once they breached, they would very likely have a large amount of equipment deducted due to insufficient Paradise Coins, and the reduction of attributes was even more fatal.

The transaction was reached. Su Xiao couldn't get the benefits for the time being; that had to wait until returning to the Reincarnation Paradise. In this transaction, Su Xiao would not only get an adventure team but also have the opportunity to get the items sealed in the Starfire Adventure Team's storage space. That was also a large sum of income, provided he could raise the rank of this adventure team by one level.

These things had to be considered later. When Su Xiao obtained that adventure team, he not only had to rename it but also change the nature of the adventure team, which was to change the adventure team into an invisible piece of equipment, or was it a visible piece of equipment? The specific situation was unknown for the time being.

Even if this adventure team didn't meet Su Xiao's requirements, he could sell this adventure team, but the price would be discounted. After all, there weren't many contractors who would buy adventure teams.

But there was one thing that made Su Xiao very puzzled: why did Old Smoke and Mizusaki refuse this transaction?

The reason was actually very simple: the Uprising Army's Old Smoke once had his own adventure team, and he was the leader. Unfortunately, his members rose up and nearly overthrew him. The Uprising Army's Old Smoke was 'very gratified', so he changed that adventure team into a single-person nature.

Old Smoke could rise up against others, but if others rose up against him, forget it...

Mizusaki was willing to obtain an adventure team, but those 30 grams of heart were taken out by the two together. An adventure team + frozen team assets had high value, but Old Smoke needed benefits he could get immediately, because his cooperation with Mizusaki was already very unstable. It was basically impossible for the two to participate in the adventure team promotion assessment together, which led to the failure of the transaction. ===== CHAPTER 1155 =====
