On the other side, not only Cosmic Slug received the announcement, but also Sage and Charriot, as well as the guilds Throne of Gods and Golden Orange.
They were all very excited, of course, it was such a good thing, how could they not 'kindly' share it on the forums?
The forums exploded again, the group of players was shocked and filled with envy. The Hell players were doing well, after all they hadn't won, but what about the players from the rest of the world?
Primarily the players stationed at Han Xiao's sanctuary.
The group started calling Han Xiao stingy, saying that Ringo was giving rewards and Han Xiao was getting nothing. Several memes emerged because of this, and Han Xiao remained confused for a long time.
What the hell was going on? When he finally figured out what started it all, he was speechless again. For a moment, he seriously considered whether he and Ringo were polar opposites. Why the hell did this guy, even though he hadn't done anything, end up hurting him?!
Han Xiao's lips trembled, but he wasn't too worried, he knew the players would soon forget about it, after all, he was close to going to the galaxy.
Han Xiao took a helicopter that same day, he was going to politely request the communicator from the downed Godorian.
Unlike when Han Xiao went in the original and had to wait a long time, Ringo gave the exact time of the spaceship's crash, so Han Xiao wouldn't have to wait for very long.
When he finally saw the trail of fire cutting across the sky toward him, Han Xiao smiled slightly, there was his way out.

On the other side, three days passed quickly, dozens of players were present, most belonging to the guilds Thrones of Gods and Golden Orange.
The leader of the Golden Orange Guild was a woman, her name is Cytrus, next to her stood a player, the guild's vice-leader, a man named Sour Orange.
-Leader, it's almost time.- Sour Orange said.
-Hn... - Cytrus replied, she was thoughtful, her blonde hair tied in a ponytail swayed slightly as she turned to look towards the entrance.
The players were excited, chatting amongst themselves. In the Throne of Gods group, Cosmic Slug and Charriot were already among them, while in the Golden Orange group, Sage was already standing behind Cytrus, they had clearly made their choices.
Now, Charriot has changed his name to Horus, while Cosmic Slug has changed his name to Styx, although it is the name of a goddess, Cosmic Slug felt that his liquid was well represented by the River Styx.
Not long after, the restless players fell silent as the door to the room opened.
As soon as the door opened, Eva walked through it, looking around without much interest, the group of players clearly recognized Eva.
As soon as they saw her, they were thrilled, as one of the most important people in Hell, they knew that if she had appeared, the rewards were sure to be astronomical.
Eva wasted no time, looking at them and starting to speak.
She explained the galaxy's situation in minimal words, basically reading the script which summarized everything in one point: A new map had been unlocked for them.
The players were stunned as she spoke, in the end, some of them even started live streams. An absurd number of players from outside the community were already watching, including Han Xiao, who had just "saved" Godorian.
Han Xiao remained quiet for a moment.
Yes, Ringo really is his opposite, they can never get along together, he was sure that Ringo had arranged this meeting precisely while he was still on the helicopter returning to the Black Phantom sanctuary.
The anger Han Xiao had swallowed because of Ringo's help suddenly changed again, Han Xiao really wanted to have a planetary cannon now, he wanted to see if Ringo could withstand a shot!
On the other side, after briefly explaining the universe, avoiding talking about the floating Dragon, Eva asked the key question.
-...we are now recruiting for our mercenary group, Triple Six.- Eva explained. -You are welcome to join if you wish.
The group of players fell silent for a moment, then Jupiter, excited, didn't even argue. - We're going!
Eva simply looked at him before nodding, and the players of Throne of Gods weren't unhappy about it, instead, they almost jumped for joy right there.
Cytrus, on the other hand, frowned slightly, this was an important decision, she had to talk to the club first.
-Can we think about this for a bit?- Cytrus's words sent the Golden Orange players into a panic, but they knew their boss, she didn't do things hastily. Sour Orange sighed, he just hoped they wouldn't lose this chance because of it.
-Of course.- Eva nodded. -We'll leave tomorrow at the same time. You'll receive your pick-up location via the communicators, whoever shows up among you can come.
The Golden Orange players breathed a sigh of relief, their spirits returning.
Outside, the players were extremely excited, they would finally be able to explore other planets.
On the other side, Han Xiao sighed, he needed to announce that he was also leaving the planet quickly, or those restless guys would probably head straight to Hell, looking for a way to get to space sooner.
Ringo caused him more problems.
