Chapter 432 - Ship (2/2)
The windows showed the scenes of a pitch-black outer space. There was a giant green and blue planet with two moons right below them. This was to be where they would spend the next 2 months.
Hao Xuan leaned against the window and peered downwards. It all felt too...unreal. This wasn't the first time he had felt like this but all he could do was grit his teeth and jump in. It felt like he was living someone else's life sometimes.
The side without any windows opened up and four groups of people walked in. They all wore the same white jumpsuits and held different objects in their hands.
”Please make three lines and walk up one by one,” a middleaged man with black-rimmed spectacles walked forward and shouted. The participants quickly made the lines. They were already divided into three groups so it barely took any time.
Hao Xuan was in the first five of his line which was the leftmost one. He was the only guardian that hadn't joined the tournament yet and had a somewhat higher priority than others. He along with Henrik, Hazel, and Fulke were processed first.
They used what looked like a portable scanner to see if they had anything on their bodies that wasn't allowed. Hao Xuan was a bit nervous when it was his turn but nothing out of ordinary was found.
It looked like their technology wasn't advanced enough to detect the nanotech that Baracus had customized.
”Please move to the next area. You're welcome to walk around but don't go too far,” the bespectacled man told him.
Out of the 40 or so people in these jumpsuits, this man was the only cultivator. He was at the peak of the Spirit Realm.
”Thank you,” Henrik thanked him for their group and dragged Hao Xuan away.
There was a long hallway outside which opened up into a large, bustling area.
Hao Xuan was taken aback looking at the hundreds of mortals walking around, going in and out of shops and going about their regular life.
They were on a ship, a space ship, and yet there were mortals here living like this?
Henrik went into what looked like a hotel and got a room for them overlooking the miniature city. There was no sky above, no clouds or anything. The surroundings were illuminated with giant yellow lights on the ceiling which was at least a thousand meters high.
Hao Xuan took the seat next to the window and gazed outside. The difference in air quality was quite obvious. This air had a slightly medicinal scent to it.
”The grand opening of our even grander hotel is in two days! Don't forget to bring a friend and get a discount!” a teenager dressed in bright red clothes was shouting while ringing a bell.
Hao Xuan could see children running around, some human and some from other species. Women walking around in groups, men walking to and from one shop to another. It looked like any ordinary city from the beast world.
”Does every ship have non-cultivators like this?” Hao Xuan asked Henrik.
