I am a reincarnation player.

Then everyone had this smell on them, some were strong, some were weak. Those with strong smells mostly held guns and swords, while those with weak smells were more like civilians.

What's the difference between wizards and commoners?

After the initial impact of the city's construction, he looked up and looked around: "What kind of bone mountain range is this?"

"It should have been in the past. Time can bury everything." Philen was also looking around. She had changed back into her magician's attire and blended in perfectly.

After looking around, she suddenly jumped into the field, dug up the soil, rubbed the reddish soil in her hands, and then showed an expression of "no wonder".

"The soil here is very fertile, as if it were watered by countless corpses. Perhaps it was once filled with bones, so it's called the Bone Mountains."

"how do you know?"

"The special magic I learned from the elves allows me to sense the emotions of creatures other than myself." Philen paused and scattered the red soil. "I can feel the earth's pain, like the wailing after a mass death. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuki nodded. He had experienced this during the bloody disaster, so he took note of it and looked around. "The civilians here seem to be afraid of us?"

Unless you are a master above the extraordinary level, you can't deceive his eyes at all.

"Maybe it has something to do with this badge." Philen was about to climb onto the roadbed when a hand reached out. After a moment's hesitation, he took it and pointed to his chest. "This should be the identification given to us by the game. Tower Explorers seem to have a very high status. Don't you feel that those women are looking at you?"

It was true, a group of girls including a young woman were pushing each other, and the pretty ones had slightly blushing faces, a bit like the prelude to confession in a love game.

Am I so charming?

Yuki looked down at the badge on his chest. It was a fist-sized, black metal object depicting a solitary tower and emitting faint energy fluctuations.

"This is the convenience the game gives us, I guess." Yuuki accepted the benefit without hesitation and asked with a smile, "You're an expert in this kind of world, so what's the next step?"

Philen had already made up his mind, so he pointed to a town not far away. Behind the town was a huge black and red pillar that soared into the clouds. It should be the "tower".

"At a time like this, it's always best to go to the town tavern to get information."

......

Silent Town is located at the foot of the Killing Tower. It has become extremely prosperous because the exploration of the tower is about to begin.

The town is dotted with medieval-style two-story buildings and is full of merchants, prostitutes, and heavily armed warriors.

After a little inquiry, Yuki learned that there were not many "Tower Explorers". They were the elite selected from all the forces in the Red Earth Continent. If ordinary people wanted to participate in this epic expedition, they had to take their chances and become the subordinates of the "Tower Explorers".

They are responsible for boiling water, cooking or risking their lives to clear the way in order to get a share of the pie if the adventure is successful.

"Explorers are equivalent to academicians. Undergraduate students who want to join the research team can only be slaves, and they may not be favored by their supervisors."

Yuki picked up the ceramic pot and took a big gulp, pouring the slightly bitter, beer-like liquid into his mouth. There was no one within five meters around him, and the table in front of him was piled with letters.

There are invitations from nobles, love letters from strange girls, and self-recommendation letters from various mercenary groups. I am used to playing the role of a grandson in the reincarnation game, so the feeling of being a master is really unfamiliar.

The letters are very straightforward. For example, a love letter skips the step of falling in love and directly says that the person will wait for the other person in his room tonight, and will definitely use a pillow to support his buttocks after they are done, so that not a single cent will be wasted.

This couldn't be a trap...

Yuki was wary of this kind of unnecessary courtesy, so he could only lean on his sword with one hand and pretend to be a stranger. Looking at the side, a few burly men with thick faces acted like good children, answering whatever Philon asked.

The girl was quite elegant and adapted quickly, looking just like a native here.

Nonsense, if you throw me into a copy with the same world view as Earth, I will adapt quickly. Living habits are the hardest to change.

"How's it going over there?"

Yuuki and his senior were over a hundred kilometers apart, which was just within the communication range.

"It's an exotic adventure. Everything around me is so new. Pighead, don't you think the content of our dungeons has changed since the ascension?"

It's true. Before the Blood Plague, most of the locations are fixed areas, such as the sea, buildings, cities, or forests. But after Ascension, it becomes a complete civilization. If the reincarnation game doesn't provide background introductions, players will waste a lot of time just familiarizing themselves with the dungeons.

"Are you starting to think about the problems inside again? Relax, it's nice to experience different civilizations." After hearing Yuki's silence for a long time, Mai suddenly laughed, and then the laughter suddenly disappeared as if she changed her face.

"You must have received a lot of strange letters today."

"From what I heard, Senior Sister also received it?"

"Of course, these people have all gathered from all over the mainland, carrying various titles like 'the most handsome guy in the village.' Indeed, each of them looks like a male model. It's obvious that they have undergone various training since childhood."

No wonder the girls who send love letters are so charming and have all kinds of styles.

Yuki turned his head and saw a blonde girl in a long skirt smiling at him. She was deliberately shaking her upper body, and her huge breasts were swaying like jelly.

"They're essentially the same as those mercenaries, all hoping to share in the benefits of the Tower Explorers. Hayasaka's intelligence reports indicate they want to leave offspring from this grand ceremony. Such offspring have a high probability of becoming the next generation of Tower Explorers."

Grand Ceremony? It's quite similar.

Yuki looked to the other side and saw some artists performing through the window. Common people took the opportunity to have fun, businessmen took the opportunity to make a fortune, and all the ambitious people came out. The entire Red Earth Continent was extremely lively.

But don't they understand that exploring the tower is dangerous? Even players will be wiped out, so the natives can't just come and go as they please. Are they just going in with only extraordinary strength to get killed?

Yuki couldn't understand it. The difficulty of the dungeon was set according to the players' evaluation, and it was at least at the extraordinary level. Although there were many mercenaries, how could they be so happy to be cannon fodder?

"Wait, forget about women, but what are those men looking for you?"

"Uh, how should I put it." Mai was at a loss for words, her face flushed red. "They want genetic information, and they'll pay any price for it."

Genetic information? Grass.

Yuki's scalp suddenly went numb, and he felt that the natives here were in a state of madness. Those towers were the core, and the tower explorers were the top people. No matter what class they were, they all wanted to get a piece of the pie in the ceremony.

"Senior...you don't want to play with steel wool, do you?"

"What steel wool? I won't tell you anymore. Hiyori agreed to meet with the Grand Duke. We'll go now."

The communication was cut off, and Yuki quickly took a sip of beer to calm his shocked heart. As expected, there were no normal people in the copy.

I don't need to meet the nobles anymore. Hiyori will definitely be able to dig out more information, so there's no need to repeat the strategy.

"Is it Miss Mai?" Philen also understood the information at this time and walked back slowly.

"Well, their situation is similar to ours. It seems that the identity of the 'Tower Explorer' is extraordinary, just like Tang Monk. Everyone wants to get close to him."

Fei Lun didn't understand who the player 'Tang Monk' was, so he nodded slightly. "Yes, I've already found out. The number of Tower Explorers is controlled by the Alliance. On average, there is only one per kingdom. They can be individuals or teams. The selection process will take seven years, and there will be no more than 20 teams in the entire continent."

This is mentioned in the background story, but only by experiencing it yourself can you understand why everyone is crazy about this spot.

He represents honor, wealth, women and everything else. If Yuki wants, he can recruit countless younger brothers and sire hundreds of the "most beautiful girls in the village".

"So what's the price?"

"Previous attempts to explore the tower have all failed. All those who dared to enter have died. I just heard the bards here singing." Philen cleared his throat and sang in a clear voice:

[They are fearless warriors, they are symbols of truth, they are the most devout believers, they are sacrifices for the prosperity of the continent]

Sure enough.

Yuki was not surprised at all, and he understood why these people flocked to it even though they knew the reason.

Everyone has a hope for luck, that at the very least they can leave something behind for their family, which is much better than those lunatics in "Blood Disaster" who kill for the sake of killing and fight for the sake of fighting.

"How many times have you explored the tower before?"

"I don't know. Most mercenaries can't even read. Only the Alliance knows the core information. Even the nobles don't know much."

"How does this alliance allocate quotas?"

"Only those who have passed their certification can enter the tower. Each team of explorers can bring no less than one hundred subordinates. As for the reason, it's said to be the blessing of the witch god."

It's like a captain leading a group of cannon fodder, but why does this sound so familiar?

Organizing a grand ceremony? Isn't this a fucking cult?

Yuuki showed a toothache expression. If there was a time when he was closest to death, it must have been a bloody disaster.

"What other information do we have about this Tower Explorer Alliance? Where is its headquarters? Who are its members? How much control do they have over the various kingdoms?"

Philen always felt that the Sky Island City was a little stressed, as if it was very afraid of the alliance.

"It's strange. They don't have a church, no headquarters, and they never preach. Aside from the tower exploration adventure that happens every seventy years, they have no sense of existence. They just send out quotas and announce the time. Oh, they also have their own tower explorers. Maybe I'll meet them later."

Then there is no possibility of controlling the copy. It is most likely related to the witch god and belongs to a secret organization.

Yuki's expression became a little better as he looked at the strong men who were as obedient as hounds but did not dare to approach him.

From the perspective of the soul, the smell of "dust" on them is stronger, and there are differences between them.

"You accepted them?"

"Well, this is a prerequisite for gathering intelligence. They've traveled extensively and have a wealth of experience. Besides, there are monsters outside the tower, and we need manpower to clear them out."

Yuki moved his mouth. This was the difference between Philon and the seniors. He could make his own decisions, but he was not someone who was overly controlling.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Yuki didn't care about the life and death of a group of cannon fodder. He glanced at the mercenaries again and paused for a moment on the face of a man with a crew cut and heavy armor.

This person's name is Peggy. He is the strongest among the mercenaries and should have reached the extraordinary level. The smell of the dust is also the strongest.

In addition, people with extraordinary powers in the Red Earth Continent are called wizards. For example, this is a wizard holding a big sword and wearing heavy armor. His sword and armor are decorated with beautiful gems, emitting strange energy.

"Tell me, why did you go with them when you knew the mortality rate was 100%?"

"Your Excellency Li, since I was disqualified, exploring the tower is the meaning of my existence." Peggy knelt on one knee, looking ready to sacrifice her life. Gradually, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Yuuki didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly. It turned out that being stared at by a monster III player with blood on his hands was torture, so he simply knelt on his knees.

"Well, actually, you can leave before all the towers are activated. I want the treasures in the towers."

"Each Tower Explorer team can lead a support force of no more than 100 people. We are honored that you chose us."

This is the truth. The copy is obviously divided into two stages, which is also in line with human greed. As long as one is a human being, he or she will have the bad habit of taking benefits without doing anything.

Because of Tip 3, players cannot leave easily, but these people can stop at the first stage, get enough benefits and evacuate, no wonder they are willing to lick the boots.

What treasures are inside the tower?

Yuki didn't know and didn't ask, as that would have somewhat destroyed his mysterious personality. Anyway, it was not bad to collect some cannon fodder. Others had waited too long for this day and had collected a lot of intelligence.

"When will the Shura Tower open?"

"Tomorrow morning, when the bell rings, the barrier will be lifted. I have a map. We can take a shortcut around the outer monsters. I guarantee that Lord Li will be the first to enter the tower." Peggy seemed to feel her own value and patted her chest to promise:

"If you find that the Shura Tower is not suitable for you, I have prepared cattle and horses and can change the target as quickly as possible."

Well, the natives are still useful. Transportation, logistical supplies and other things have been prepared long ago. Players only need to focus on the strategy.

Yuki nodded in satisfaction, not interested in talking nonsense: "Then go get ready. Meet here early tomorrow morning. Anything else?"

Except for Peggy, several mercenaries were reluctant to leave and spoke one after another.

"Our former employer, His Excellency the Duke of Caril, would like to invite you as his guest. If you go, he is willing to provide his own guards."

"That's nothing. King Perisius II also wants to invite you. Please choose one of the many princesses. After the event is completed, a manor will become your family's fiefdom, which will benefit your descendants."

"We don't know any important people, but the girls in the north are the most beautiful. Just go and have a drink, and we will never bother you again."

Yuki noticed that Peggy had stepped back several steps, but looked nervous. He remembered this detail and looked at Philen speechlessly, his eyes seemed to be asking, "Do you think I'm not dying fast enough?"

The latter quickly looked away, having no idea these natives were so enthusiastic.

Wait a minute, this time the hint doesn't say that leaking the game will be erased, and the player can't be a member of any indigenous force.

Yuki suddenly thought of something and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

A group of mercenary leaders looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with this tower explorer.

"Let me be more specific. Since the Alliance controls all the quotas, and even the Kingdom only has one, where do our quotas come from?"

The mercenaries were still somewhat confused, as foolish and bewildered as if they were asked "Why do people eat?"

After a while, they said in unison.

"Of course you are the chosen tower explorer."

......

The Chosen Tower Explorer is the character played by the player, which means that the natives know the difference.

After leaving the tavern and walking with Philen on the bustling street late at night, Yuki suddenly realized that the reincarnation game was very simple and crude.

He will not infiltrate quietly like the 'Lord God' and carve the player's mark in the dungeon. He will only set a rule and tell the natives to follow it.

But it’s really lively.

Yuki smelled the aroma of various foods and saw poets and jugglers everywhere on the streets, and children who knew nothing about anything were laughing and playing, as if it were really a festival.

The town is not dark. There are elegant street lamps on both sides of the road, and the gems in the lampshades emit brilliant light.

But he noticed that there were many children on the road, but very few elderly people. Some of them looked young with gray hair, but they looked like they were about to die.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Philen eating something like fried bananas next to him. The aroma was overwhelming. The tower explorers didn't have to pay for the things they bought, and they really experienced the feeling of being the best.

"You want to eat it?" The plump girl looked at him in confusion and picked up a piece of fried banana with a long skewer.
