The cliché scene of new reincarnators refusing to believe they were in the Main God Space, thinking they'd been kidnapped and about to cause a ruckus, never happened.
Maybe it had to do with the setting.
When the group of newbies pressed their faces against the window and saw the endless expanse of space, that suspended heart of theirs finally died.
They huddled by the window, staring through the reinforced glass at the vast, boundless cosmos outside.
Starlight flickered beyond the pane, but the unease in their hearts only swelled.
"How is this possible?" a young woman's voice trembled, her hands gripping the window frame so tightly her knuckles turned white.
"Look at those stars—how far are we from Earth?" a strongman's voice carried a hint of despair, his eyes roaming the starfield as if searching for that familiar blue planet, only to find an alien sea of stars.
"How do we get back?" a middle-aged man's voice was thick with anxiety, sweat already beading on his forehead, his eyes full of fear for the unknown.
"Shut up! All of you, shut up!" a sharp voice cut through the murmurs in the cabin. A scrawny man waved his arms excitedly, "We need to find a way out! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
The atmosphere in the cabin grew increasingly tense, the newbies' anxiety and panic spreading through the air.
Some of them started cursing, venting their unease and anger.
"I want to go home! I want to see my family!" a woman sobbed, her voice drowned by suppressed panic.
"Are we dreaming? This has to be a nightmare!" a young man muttered to himself, his eyes dazed, as if unwilling to accept the reality before him.
Fang Yu quietly observed it all. He knew these newbies needed time to accept this harsh reality.
They'd been ripped from a familiar world and thrown into an unknown cosmic void—such a massive shift was enough to make anyone panic and feel lost.
From what he remembered, the senior reincarnator should have been leading the team, but that didn't happen. Er Niu, Da Qiang, and Meng Yao—the three Farming Team members—showed no interest in these newbies at all.
Fang Yu instantly figured out what these three were planning.
Betraying their teammates.
The difficulty of the Main God Space scaled with the number of members.
Meng Yao and the others thought the Farming Team had seven members, but in reality, Fang Yu had used Da Qiang's points to repair his body, quietly opened a door, and hidden himself.
So, the actual reincarnator team had eight people.
In the horror film Alien: Covenant, it had been supplemented to a twenty-person raid.
The Main God clearly wanted to cut down the numbers.
This was punishment for the Farming Team!
Death was necessary to purify the entire team!
How high was the difficulty? It definitely wouldn't be the small-scale skirmish of a single xenomorph like in the original.
More likely, what everyone would face was—
"No!"
A woman's shout drew everyone's attention.
A short-haired woman stared in despair as a cryo-chamber caught fire, powerless to do anything.
Inside the chamber lay Jacob, the captain of the Covenant, and also the lover of the female lead, Daniels.
The flames "purified" the entire cryo-chamber.
As the hatch finally broke open, everyone watched as a charred corpse was carried out and laid on the ground.
The strong stench of burning and rot caused both psychological and physical discomfort in everyone. The heroine Daniels ran to the corpse and broke down crying.
Seeing this, the newbie team, who had still been clinging to hope moments ago, finally stopped their commotion.
"We really, really came into a movie," a kid with dyed yellow hair, dressed like a high schooler, stared blankly at Daniels' face, "I recognize that face."
"Never mind that we're in space—just that face alone. If this were a prank, how could they have hired a Hollywood star? It's too ridiculous!"
His words finally woke up the other newbies.
Now, all they could think about was how to survive this horror film. Nothing else mattered.
"I'm sorry, Daniels."
A stern face stepped forward. It was the synthetic human, Walter.
As Walter explained the situation to the film crew, the reincarnator team pricked up their ears—this was also their briefing.
"When I was raising the solar sails to charge, I encountered a neutrino burst. The ship took a hit, so I triggered the alarm."
The first officer Oram automatically promoted himself to captain. He walked over to Daniels, wanting to pat her back in comfort, but she got up and ran to her room, sobbing.
Cleanup work was quickly assigned.
The newbie reincarnators were mostly given trivial tasks, but even so, many couldn't handle them.
"Damn it! How did the company recruit these rookies as colony crew?" Oram could only grumble and silently continue working.
Once the film characters started busying themselves, the newbie team gathered together.
"We have to make these stupid movie characters return to Earth!"
"Right! We can't let them sail toward that country where the aliens exist!"
As the crowd discussed, a "leader" also emerged.
This was a middle-aged man with a goatee, named Ruan Wei.
According to his own account, he was a high-level executive at a company, managing a team of five hundred people year-round, so it was more reasonable for him to be the captain.
The guy stroked his goatee, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and remained silent, as if deep in thought.
Fang Yu noticed the three Farming Team members watching from the side with half-smiles, and found it somewhat ridiculous.
Veterans watching the show while newcomers debated—a scene rarely seen.
"No, we can't change the course."
After thinking for a long time, Ruan Wei voiced his opinion.
"Ah!? What did you say!? Can't change the course? Are you trying to send us all to die on that alien planet!?" shouted a woman who looked like she'd been dragged off a tour bus, wrapped in a red scarf.
Her voice was loud and grating.
"Didn't you see the mission on our watches?" Ruan Wei raised his hand. "High danger means high reward. Since we're already here, we need to find a way to improve ourselves."
"Aah! What are you saying!? Do you have a death wish!? If you want to go, go! I'm not going!"
Aunties were the hardest people to deal with anywhere, and Ruan Wei didn't know what else to say.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly! A dark figure charged over!
Before the crowd could react, that noisy Auntie was sent flying!
"Smack!"
"Ah!"
The Auntie clutched her bleeding head, looking around in utter confusion.
She only felt something flash before her eyes, and then she was over here.
The newcomers stared in shock at Da Qiang, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Only Fang Yu pulled his hat brim lower, not lifting his head.
"Let me introduce myself." Da Qiang loosened his cuff. "I'm Da Qiang, a veteran."
As he said this, he locked eyes with Ruan Wei, the leader the newcomers had chosen.
He paused, then continued, "I'm the captain of this team!"
With that one sentence, Ruan Wei became a Joker.
Da Qiang relished the way everyone looked at him like he was some kind of god. He cleared his throat and went on:
"Next, I'm going to say something. If anyone dares to disobey, their fate will be the same as that one's."
He suddenly raised his voice, making everyone's eardrums ache!
"Got it!?"
The newcomers nodded silently.
Not daring to say another word.
Ruan Wei? No matter how unwilling he was inside, at this moment he shrank his neck and pricked up his ears to listen.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu quietly calculated the force behind Da Qiang's punch from earlier.
