There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

The ground is covered with grass and the road is paved with flowers. Walking on it feels like stepping into an extremely soft carpet, but you don't have to worry about stepping on the flowers, because with every step you take, new flowers will bloom under your feet.

This place is like a paradise. My arrival disturbed the deer drinking water by the stream. They raised their heads, looked at me, and ran away. A squirrel jumped onto my shoulder, but ran away again when I was about to reach out to tease it. A cute white rabbit had stepped on the back of my foot, but it was not afraid and just kept eating the grass.

Every few meters there is a lavender tree, as if naturally formed, lined up on both sides of the road. Although the sun is shining, the street lights hanging on its branches still shine brightly without being dazzling. Occasionally, a few blue butterflies flutter around, and every time they flap their wings, they bring with them shining dust. They appear and disappear from time to time, just like real magical creatures.

All the towering trees here are carved into the shape of residences. The roots of the trees are the gates. After entering, you can go up to the second floor along the spiral wooden stairs. There is a hollow in the middle of the trunk, and the twisted branches look like naturally formed balcony railings, just like the tree house where elves live in the legend!

Moreover, there seems to be no trace of dust here, not even any soil can be seen. The whole world is emerald green, pure natural emerald green, not the kind of dark green stained with dust, because there seems to be no dust here.

This place is full of haziness, yet extremely real. Xueno has a feeling that she can even sleep here for a very long time...

She closed her eyes, and couldn't help but open her hands, breathing in the faint floral scent and the unusually fresh air. Yukino lay on the flower-filled grass without caring about her image. The grass was so soft and comfortable that it was even more comfortable than the Simmons mattress at home.

"Welcome to the Emerald Dream."

“Isn’t this a game space?”

Yukino stood up and smiled faintly at Kitahara Sora beside her: "Kitahara-kun, can you tell me what is going on?"

"After Lingyin went to school, I arrived here before you. Then, after communicating with the observer, I found that the setting in the novel I had read before could also be used here." Kitahara Sora pondered for a moment and continued, "That is to say, this place can change its appearance at will as long as we imagine it, so I tried it."

He looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "It feels really good, at least visually."

"And I found that no matter how you imagine it, as long as you can think of it, you can do it, even if it is..."

Kitahara Sora shouted to the green area surrounded by the stream, "Observer, the captain can be confirmed."

There was a light green translucent figure floating in the air in the center of the spiral flower carpet. She had lavender skin and long emerald green hair. She was wearing something very sexy, with a pair of tight leather leggings engraved with runes and over-the-knee boots on her lower body, and only an emerald green leather chest armor on her upper body, with deep grooves visible at a glance.

She was very beautiful, but not the kind of modern beauty. She was full of ancient and mysterious charm. Her green eyebrows were long and straight, extending all the way to her ears. Her pointed ears were at least a foot long. She had green facial lines on her face, a crescent-shaped hair ornament on her forehead, her eyes glowed with emerald green, and she had two thick horns on her head.

If someone were from Kitahara Sora's world, upon seeing her, they would definitely shout, "Fuck, Ysera!"

"Players, please confirm the captain. If all team members pass, the captain will be confirmed."

His voice was no longer a monotonous metallic sound, but was filled with the magnetism of a mature woman, with a faint echo like a high-level life form that transcended the ordinary. It revealed majesty without making people feel pressured.

"Is this the Observer?"

Yukino widened her eyes and looked at the strange woman who was as translucent as a soul not far away.

"Strictly speaking, yes. Not only the environment can be changed, but even the observer's skin can be changed. I thought since I can rely on my imagination, why not make this place look less lifeless?" He paused and continued, "In fact, you can also use your imagination as much as you want. The captain has not been confirmed yet. After confirmation, only the captain will have the authority to change the environment here. Yukino..."

"No, it's fine this way."

Yukino interrupted Kitahara Sora and continued to speak to the observers: "It is decided that Kitahara Sora will be the captain."

In response, the translucent figure like a green soul locked his gaze on Kitahara Sora and asked expressionlessly, "Once the captain is confirmed, no replacement is allowed except for death. Player: Do you agree to be the captain? Please confirm."

There are only two people in the game space now, so it doesn't matter who is the captain, but seeing Yukino's serious expression, Kitahara Sora had to reply to confirm.

"Please name the team."

"Team Izumo."

This time it was Yukino who answered first, but the observer did not respond to her. It has been established that only the captain has the authority to name the team. In fact, this is an unimportant thing. The name is just a code name. I don't know why Yukino is so serious about this, but since she proposed the name, we have to listen to her.

Sunrise in the Clouds is gorgeous and bright, symbolizing the rising sun and hope, which is good, at least much better than my own. If I were to choose a name, my first choice would definitely be something like "Chrysanthemum Explosion Team", after all, when I play games, I just randomly press the keyboard to choose a nickname.

But after all this was done, Kitahara Sora suddenly closed his eyes, digesting the information conveyed by the observer in his mind, and opened his eyes after a moment.

"What's wrong? Does the captain have any special privileges?"

"It's more than a privilege." Kitahara Sora looked at Yukino's puzzled face, sighed and said, "Actually, this is pretty much what I guessed. The captain has the right to know the basic content of the next game. The next game gives a hint called 'Alien', which is a series of movies from my side, but I haven't revealed which part it is or what the game mission is."

"But the next game shouldn't take that long. Once the team points are unlocked, the captain will have the right to distribute the rewards for the game's side quests. That is, if the side quests reward redemption cards or points, they will all be stored in the team points column and distributed by the captain. Other members can only use their own main quest rewards."

That is to say, if a team has a total of 10 people, and everyone completes the team side quest while surviving, each person will be rewarded with points. The points will be directly added to the team points column, and there will be more points in the team points column. Except for the captain who uses his full strength, the rest of the members become workers without any salary.

This is only a team side quest. If it is a personal side quest, it will still be rewarded to the individual. Whether to keep it or not depends on his own idea, but does the person being raised have the ability to complete the personal side quest?

"Does that mean the captain has absolute control over the team?"

"That's right." Kitahara Sora nodded and said, "The team points column is definitely a module that tests human nature. Team members can deposit their own redemption cards and points into the team points, but they can only deposit and not withdraw. The captain can not only deposit and withdraw at will, but also arrange it at will. For example, if I want you to strengthen your body, I can set it up. You, Yukinoshita Yukino, can withdraw as much as you want from the team points for your own use. If you exceed the limit, you will be prompted that you do not have enough authority. I can also force you to deposit all the rewards you get from your own main quests into the team points. Of course, if you don't want to, the captain will have a way to make you voluntarily hand it over."

In general, it is similar to the infinite flow novel I read in my previous life. The observer mode is more professional, more convenient, and more cruel.

It is estimated that many strong teams born under this model rely on exploiting newcomers and raising "livestock" to make themselves strong. There may be 10 people in such a team, but only two or three of them are really strong enough to defeat the heavens. The rest are poor creatures who are "raised". They may live a life worse than death, like slaves.

"And you just heard the observer's question. The captain of a team cannot be replaced unless the original captain dies. This means that if the team members make the wrong choice, the captain may be stabbed in the back. As long as the captain is killed, a new captain can be elected."

Kitahara Sora paused and looked at the girl in front of him seriously: "Also, Yukino, you should know that the punishment for killing a teammate is actually very light, just a thousand points. The reason why the two of us didn't get deducted is entirely because of the trial novice field. But in the next game, if we kill a teammate again, there will be no exemption from the punishment."

Therefore, the penalty for killing the captain is only negative one thousand points, but completing any mission scene will result in a reward of more than one thousand points.

The observer mode forces the reincarnation players to develop into breeders!

Chapter 9 Gifts

After talking about the team model, Kitahara Sora suddenly said to Yukino: "Yukino, stretch out your hand. I'll give you something."

Xueno stretched out her hand in confusion, but her cheeks suddenly turned red like a persimmon, so beautiful and tempting that water seemed to be dripping out of it!

"Kitahara-kun, what do you mean by this?" She stared blankly at what Kitahara Sora had placed in her palm. Her heart suddenly began to beat wildly. Then, she felt a faint aura surrounding her body. She couldn't help but turn on the battle mode. The blue mist in her pupils floated out and dissipated in the air...

"what do you mean?"

"That's right..." Although Yukino spoke in a calm tone, her expression seemed to be trying hard to suppress the panic in her heart. She turned around and clasped her hands to her chest, tightly holding the things in her hands. After a long time, she said, "Are you sure you have thought it through? We'd better leave this world before discussing these things. Isn't it too early now? I, I want to go back and ask my mother for her opinion..."

"Why are you talking to your aunt about this?"

Beiyuankongjizhang monk was confused. Looking at Xueno's puzzled look, she even turned on the "explosion" state. He asked in confusion: "Do we have to tell them about this too?"

Isn't it just a space ring? Before Yukino entered, Kitahara Sora had already opened the exchange mode and looked at it. There were all kinds of things in it, but there was one thing that was indispensable for every book, and that was storage items. In this world, it is impossible to carry a backpack everywhere, right?

So after searching, I found this thing. My own is five cubic meters, which cost me one thousand points, and Yukino's is three cubic meters, which cost me seven hundred points. It is very convenient to have this thing. Whether it is ammunition or food and other daily necessities, you can throw them in.

"Considering that I have more points than you, this thing should be of great help to us, or we can consider giving one to each of the new official members in the future, so I will pay for the points here. Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Yukino finally came back to her senses. It seemed that what the two of them wanted to express was not the same thing. She took a deep breath, turned around again, and pinched the silver-white ring in her hand. Although her face was serious, the blush on her cheeks still did not fade: "Kitahara-kun, why don't you explain to me the function of this thing first?"

I was just about to explain, but why did you suddenly become like this?

Kitahara Sora complained in his heart and stretched out his right hand. On his slender finger was a ring of the same type as the one in Yukino's hand: "Yukino, you should know that this is called a space ring. It is something that often appears in various games and fantasy novels. It can hold anything it can hold, similar to the existence of 'space magic'..."

"Sorry, I don't read those novels, and I haven't played those games."

Xue No interrupted Kitahara Sora's explanation, and her extremely tense mood relaxed, but why did she feel a faint sense of loss again? The most important thing was that she was very angry, because now she felt extremely ashamed, a feeling she had never had before, and the girl even wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

Why do you suddenly get angry? Isn't it a normal emotional fluctuation to get angry out of shame?

You suddenly turned the game space into such a dreamlike scene, and suddenly took out this thing. I thought you were going to... Turns out you just really wanted to give me a prop?

Yukino shook her head vigorously and said with a grin, "Kitahara-kun is really a monkey."

Kitahara Sora looked at the smiling Yukino in confusion, but why did she seem to have a cloud of black air on her head? Why do I get scolded for giving you something? I remember you don't have princess syndrome, right? He touched his chin and thought for a while: "Don't you like this style? I'll ask the observer if I can change it to another style..."

"It has nothing to do with the style anyway!" Yukino kicked Kitahara Sora's knee with her beautiful calf, then held her forehead and sighed: "Kitahara-kun, if I'm not mistaken, you have never had any female friends since you were a child."

"Female friend?" Kitahara Sora rubbed his knee expressionlessly. The kick from this girl just now had hurt his knee muscles.

"As for female friends, you are the first one. Does it have anything to do with this matter? Also, can you put away your abilities? Why do I always feel like you want to beat me up?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something else." Xue No shook her head and sighed again. Her pupils returned to their normal color. She held the small silver ring and asked him seriously, as if the scene just now had not happened: "Can you tell me specifically what this item does?"

Seeing Yukino return to her 'normal' state, Kitahara Sora had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and continued to explain: "There is actually a three cubic meter space inside your ring, which can hold anything except living things, such as weapons, ammunition, and abnormal supplies. This means that we don't need to use a backpack when we enter that world again. The time in the ring is in an absolutely forbidden state, and the items are not superimposed. In other words, if you put a bowl of steaming ramen in it, no matter how much time has passed, when you take it out, it will still be the same as you put it in, and the ramen will not spill. When you wear the ring on your finger, a binding prompt will appear in your mind. Once it is bound to you, this thing belongs completely to you. Even if others get your ring, they cannot take out your personal belongings."

"It's very easy to use. Just imagine it in your mind, and your thoughts will be transmitted to the ring, like this..."

Beiyuan Kong suddenly stretched out his hand, and suddenly a simple black longbow appeared out of thin air on his palm: "I just exchanged this bow for 1500 points. It is a C-level magical weapon with special effects on ghost creatures."

Before Yukino came, Kitahara Sora had seriously considered the direction of his own enhancement. Since Yukino had opened the 'Azeroth' power system, there was no need for him to choose any other. Moreover, if his main attribute was agility and he happened to be able to use a bow and arrow, the hunter class was very suitable for him. The most important thing was that after choosing the class, he could also exchange for supernatural powers from other worlds.

"If you want to take it back, just focus on the ring in your mind." After saying that, Beiyuan Kong flipped his palm, and the black longbow disappeared in his palm again.

"So that's it..."

Xue No stared blankly at Kitahara Sora's actions, then turned her gaze to the ring in her hand. After being stunned for at least five seconds, she slowly raised her head and looked at the man. She looked a little hesitant, but still spoke softly: "This is too expensive, Kitahara-kun, can I really accept it?"

She spoke with some difficulty, wanting to refuse but feeling very reluctant in her heart. Yukino had never had the desire to want something in particular, because from childhood to adulthood, she could get almost anything as long as she asked.

But such a thing is impossible to exist in reality, and even if it doesn't mean that, this is the first gift that Kitahara Sora gave her. She felt extremely conflicted at this moment.

"This is good for both of us. It's actually not expensive. For your 700 points, I get three times as much as you do. So for balance, I took the initiative to buy it for you. I already have it, so it's useless for you to return it to me. Items produced by the Observer cannot be returned once they are exchanged. You should accept it, Yukino."

"If Kitahara-kun insists..."

Yukino closed her mouth and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She was very touched because the other person never forgot her at any time. This feeling was really good.

She put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand, took out her mobile phone and placed it flat on her palm. Following the prompts in her mind, she felt her hand lighten and the mobile phone suddenly disappeared. Then her sea of ​​consciousness entered the ring and her mobile phone lay quietly in the dark space. Then she activated the ring again and the phone appeared in her hand again.

At this moment, she seemed to have lost her usual calmness. Her eyes flickered as she repeatedly stored and retrieved her phone, as if she had obtained a very novel toy: "Wow, this prop is so convenient..."

"In fact, this thing should be standard equipment for people like us." Beiyuan Kong touched the ring in his hand and continued, "Now you can open the exchange interface and take a look. Your development direction is similar to magic. I just looked at the skills of the mage. In fact, I don't know how lethal the ice arrow you cast now is. But even if it can form combat power, it still needs the cooperation of other skills. Take a look at your career tree. Is there a skill called 'Flash'?"

Hearing this, Yukino stopped fiddling with the ring, but nodded and closed her eyes, opening the page opposite the professional skills. Sure enough, she found a skill called "Flash" in the mage's general skills. The effect was to teleport the caster to any place within 30 meters. The most important thing about this skill was that it was an instant skill, which was very useful whether for escaping or chasing, and it was considered a magical skill.

The price is 2000 points plus a Class C redemption card.

"A B-level exchange card can be split into three C-level exchange cards. My bow has already consumed one, leaving two, so I transferred one of the exchange cards to the team points. After you take it out, exchange this skill as well. This is a life-saving skill, so please take it seriously."

Looking at Kitahara Sora's serious expression, Yukino bit her lips lightly, nodded silently after a moment, and started the exchange operation.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, and a six-pointed star pattern flashed across her beautiful eyes. She smiled faintly at Bei Yuankong: "What's next?"

"Next, you can try out your skills." Beiyuan Kong pointed at the towering ancient trees and continued, "These tree houses are not decorations. Once you enter, they are considered private spaces. Even the captain has no right to enter without the owner's permission. The space inside is infinite. What it looks like depends entirely on your imagination. So you can choose a tree house and divide the space inside into several floors. It can be a bedroom, living room, training ground and other facilities. Our top priority now is to train, train, and train without thinking. Only by becoming stronger can we survive well!"

"——You have speculated all this yourself?"

Yukino looked at Kitahara Sora who was talking freely and asked, "Has Kitahara-kun thought of so much?"

"In fact, I have watched a lot of entertainment works, and there are similar situations to what we are facing, so I asked the observer according to my thoughts, and it can be regarded as verified. I feel that the observer in this space is like omnipotent, very similar to the 'Lord God' I mentioned."

Thanks to the fact that she read a lot of time-travel anime novels in her previous life, at least she is not in a confused state now, so Kitahara Sora can think of everything he can think of. Moreover, Xueno said that since she became a mage, it seems that there is an extra container in her mind. Every time she casts an ice arrow, she feels that there is a little less in the container. Now she can only cast this spell three times at most. If she casts more, she will feel dizzy and have a headache. This is similar to the "mana value" in the game.

Maybe it is related to the level of intelligence attribute, or maybe it is related to mental attribute. It has not been confirmed yet. Points are required to enhance attribute values. One hundred points can only increase 1 point. It is too expensive, so I can only try it later.

After hearing the explanation, Yukino nodded and suddenly asked, "Have you chosen your tree house, Kitahara-kun?"

"The one in the middle is the one I chose." Kitahara Sora asked doubtfully, "Any questions?"

Yukino shook her head and walked quickly to Kitahara Sora's tree house. She stroked her chin and looked at the wooden door for a while, then looked at the adjacent ancient tree. Although it was adjacent, it was about ten meters away. This space should be infinite, but Kitahara Sora only designed it to be within the visible distance for the sake of beauty. In other words, as long as you walk deep into the forest, you will return to the entrance after you reach the end.

But even with the limited distance set, it still looks as big as two football fields.

"Nothing, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Xueno walked to the ancient tree next to her, reached out and pushed open the wooden door, which made a creaking sound. This sound was not harsh, but instead had a kind of ancient charm.

"Then I'll follow Kitahara-kun's request, go in and set up my own room, and then train." She took out her phone to check the time. The time in the game space was consistent with reality: "It's one o'clock in the afternoon now. I will be teleported back to the real world at about five o'clock. Kitahara-kun can go out and sell vegetables first if he needs to make dinner for Lingyin. He doesn't need to wait for me."

After the other party nodded, Yukino closed the door and leaned against it, holding her chest tightly with her hands. Her cheeks were flushed again. She knew that Kitahara Sora still had something to say to her, but she could no longer pretend because he had become strange since he saw him today.

Why did I become so strange? Why did my heart beat faster when I was with Kitahara Sora? I was with him almost every day this month, so why didn't I feel that way before?

But, when I returned home last night, why did his image flash through my mind from time to time... Why did my heart beat faster when I thought of him?

The space ring he gave me just now was the same, why did I end up in this situation...

He would sleep in the same room with me while he carried me back to the base, I would sleep on the bed and he would sleep on the couch.

After returning to the base, he still slept in the same room with me. Even if I woke up in the middle of the night, as soon as I opened my eyes I could see him lying on the bed next to me. As soon as I opened my eyes, he would wake up immediately and ask me about my condition with concern.

I slept in my own room yesterday because he was not there. I have gotten used to him being by my side...

Is this the feeling of liking someone?

Yukino closed her eyes and slowly recalled everything she had known him, from the misunderstanding at the beginning, when she began to hate him, to the in-depth conversation in the activities club, and then she entered this cruel world...

I had no choice but to feed him while suppressing my shyness. We experienced the zombie tide together. He saved me for the first time when I went to the auto repair shop to get anti-skid chains. He killed Ishikawa Hajime for me, and then when we got to the church, he secretly wanted to kill Ohga Taiyo for me.

Later, he was buried in the basement, and he dug himself out. He said to himself who was heartbroken, "Yukino, don't give up hope, because you are the heroine!"

He carried me on his back for a very long way. Knowing that I loved cleanliness, he still wanted to boil water for myself to take a bath and sing songs to myself in that environment. Finally, he went forward with the intention of dying together with the "Tank". Maybe at that moment he was also thinking that if he killed it, even if he died, could Yukino still survive?

I have always been protected by him.

It turns out that I have fallen in love with him for a long time!

Xueno looked down at the ring on her hand in a daze...

He rubbed his fingers gently on the smooth ring surface, and after a moment, he tremblingly took off the ring on his middle finger.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, almost breaking her soft cherry-colored lips. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly put the ring on her ring finger, hid it behind her back, and exhaled for a long time.

This childish behavior made Yukino curl up the corners of her beautiful lips again, and she laughed at herself.
