"There, I can obtain various rewards, such as physical attributes or powerful skills, by completing tasks."

"What you saw just now, sister, was actually the skill I just acquired not long ago, the release of magic power."

Mysterious space, tasks, rewards, attributes, skills...

Recalling the various key words mentioned by her sister in the description, Yukinoshita Haruno fell into deep thought.

What kind of place would give out these incredible rewards to others? Are those so-called tasks really difficult and dangerous?

"Although the process of completing the task was painful, as far as I know, there was no danger to life."

As if she saw Yukinoshita Haruno's confusion, Yukino spoke.

Although the experience of dying again and again in the dream space or struggling to survive in the dungeon is painful, Yukinoshita Yukino has to admit that the dream space does not threaten the player's life, and compared to the rewards after completing the task, the pain experienced is completely worth it, and even seems insignificant in front of those rewards.

"As for the more detailed situation about the mysterious space, I cannot describe it in more detail because I am not sure what the consequences of doing so will be."

"Similarly, the reason why I went out yesterday was also related to that place, so I can't tell you in detail."

After listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's description, Yukinoshita Haruno nodded.

"Is that so? There's nothing we can do about it."

Haruno had no doubts about what Yukinoshita Yukino said. After all, in a mysterious space like the one her sister described, where one could get all kinds of incredible rewards as long as they completed tasks, it was reasonable to have some restrictions on those who received the rewards.

Even Yukinoshita Haruno felt that these restrictions were incredibly loose.

As long as the task is completed, a reward will be obtained. The process of the task will not cause life-threatening danger. Although disclosure may not be allowed, a vague description can be used to allow the person who receives the reward to inform his or her family about his or her situation.

And it is not clear whether the last restriction exists. After all, according to Yukino's description, she just didn't know the cost of doing so, not that it was expressly prohibited.

To be honest, Yukinoshita Haruno admitted that she was envious. She was envious that her sister could get such an incredible opportunity just by sleeping.

This is no longer just pie in the sky; it's a mountain of gold falling right in front of you.

"So, Yukino went out yesterday to meet other people like you?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and said.

"I am not the only one who has traveled to that mysterious space. There are many people who are stronger than me."

"That's why I hope you won't reveal my situation to anyone, not even to my parents for now."

"Don't worry, sister. I'm not that stupid. How could I possibly go back and do something stupid that would incur risks for no reason and with unknown risks?"

Yukinoshita Haruno responded with a smile.

No matter what, it is a good thing that Yukino is lucky enough to have this. Whether as a member of the Yukinoshita family or simply as a sister, she should be happy for Yukino.

But even though I said that, I still feel a little complicated inside.

It's not that she was jealous of Yukino because her experience was not the same as hers, but she felt embarrassed as if her sister had suddenly grown up and she didn't know what attitude to adopt when facing her.

Chapter 176: Qin Tian’s temptation, Goto Ichiri wants to turn evil

In the afternoon, as the school bell rang, Qin Tian walked around a group of students who were discussing club activities and walked out of the gate of Shuchiin Academy alone.

At the same time, he also received a message from Yukino stating that she could not go to Shimokitazawa for the gathering today.

Qin Tian could understand this. After all, Yukino had just revealed some of her information about the dream player to Haruno today. It was the first time she saw supernatural powers in reality. Yukinoshita Haruno was probably in a state of extreme curiosity and thirst for knowledge. In this case, Yukino naturally had no way of bypassing Haruno's existence and going out to meet them.

Therefore, the only people who went to Shimokitazawa to gather today were Qin Tian, ​​Chizuka, Takina, Kato Megumi, and Goto Ichiri, the focus of this reunion.

After taking the train to Shimokitazawa, Qin Tian saw four girls waiting outside the station not far away.

"Captain, this way!"

As if they were afraid that Qin Tian would not notice them, Qin Tian saw Qian Shu in the crowd waving at him from a distance.

"Good afternoon everybody."

Walking forward, Qin Tian looked at the four girls in front of him and greeted them with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Captain."

"Good... afternoon, Captain."

Compared to Chizuka's casualness, Takina and Kato Megumi were obviously more serious in their greetings, while Goto Ichiri was a beat slower than the other three, but also stammered and said hello.

Seeing this scene, Qin Tian did not make things difficult for the other party. For Qin Tian, ​​who had watched the anime, he knew very well how serious Goto Ichiri's social phobia symptoms were.

Even though she had known the other members of the band for such a long time in the original novel, the girl would still have intermittent attacks from time to time, not to mention that now they have only been together for about a month, even if the time in the dungeon is counted.

For Goto Ichiri, being able to say hello as soon as possible whenever they meet is already a very close relationship, because if the person is a little stranger, the girl would not dare to speak at all.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the girl is in awe of Qin Tian's captain status and is worried that she will be bullied or even excluded in the team in the future, so she forces herself to muster up the courage to say hello every time they meet. Based on Qin Tian's understanding of Goto Ichiri, he must have thought so in his heart.

"Ahem, let's get down to business first. The main reason for this gathering is that we're going to help Ichiri and Kato conquer the second dungeon tonight, so we're gathering here to discuss our course of action in the dungeon in advance."

"However, considering that even the situation of the second instance is still unclear, the only things we can discuss are some coping skills for emergencies. We just need to talk about them once we see them, and then summarize them and send them to the discussion group later."

Qin Tian just stood in front of everyone and spoke.

"In addition to discussing the course of action, the secondary purpose is to try to help Ichiri overcome his resistance to dungeons. If a dream player continues to resist dungeons, his situation will likely become increasingly difficult."

Several girls nodded in agreement with Qin Tian's words.

Currently, there is no way for players to get rid of their player identity in the dream space. Therefore, it can be imagined that as long as these dream players are still in reality, they will definitely have to continue to enter the dungeon in the future.

If you keep resisting the dream copy, it is not a good choice either from the perspective of long-term development or short-term situation.

"Yes, sorry."

Goto Ichiri himself was obviously aware of the above-mentioned problems, so he apologized immediately.

"I have caused trouble for the team, and I have been holding Kato back because of me. It's all my fault. I will try my best to actively open the subsequent copies. I am very sorry."

Listening to the girl's words, Qin Tian shook his head.

"Although running away is not a good option, blindly forcing yourself is definitely not a good solution either. If I really want to solve your problem, Ichiri, I must make you stop resisting the dungeon from the bottom of your heart."

"So...what should I do then?"

Hearing this, Goto Ichiri asked.

In response, Qin Tian smiled and then signaled to Takina beside him with his eyes.

Takina nodded, then stepped forward and spread one hand in front of him. In the palm of Takina's hand was an octagonal stone with a half-black and half-white tiger pattern.

"Ichiri-san, are you interested in seeing your true self?"

"My truest self..."

Looking at the octagonal stone in front of him, Goto Ichiri muttered to himself.

"This tiger talisman is one of the quest rewards I got with Chitsuka and Takina in the second dungeon. It can forcibly split the target of the ability into yin and yang, which can also be understood as two different personalities of good and evil."

"When the good side of a personality loses the check and balance of the evil side, it will appear to be more kind than usual, or even cowardly, while when the evil side of a personality loses the restraint of the good side, it will appear to be more indulgent and loyal to its desires."

"At the same time, the evil personality can, to some extent, also reflect a person's truest wishes."

After all, they are essentially the same person, so everything the evil personality does must be what the original owner wanted to do but was unable or even dared not to do for some reason.

Therefore, when the restraint of the good personality is lost, everything the evil personality does can reflect the other person's original true thoughts, that is, the so-called truest self.

"I know this. It should be the dark setting often used in many comics, right?"

Among the five people, Kato Megumi, who had been silent, spoke, although it sounded a bit like a complaint.

"You can say that. Then Ichiri-san, do you want to give it a try?"

"Although I can't permanently change Ichiri's personality, I can at least let you briefly experience what a bold and cheerful Ichiri is like."

"Perhaps after experiencing it, Ichiri-san will be able to change his mindset. After all, in the dream space, there should be skills that can change a person's personality or make them brave."

After casually responding to Kato Megumi, Qin Tian continued to seduce Goto Ichiri.

"I want to... give it a try!"

Looking at the tiger talisman held in Takina's hand, Goto Ichiri's eyes became firm for a moment, and then he spoke.

Goto Ichiri is a bold and cheerful person who doesn't care about other people's eyes and can do what he wants without restraint. Not only Qin Tian and others, but even Goto Ichiri himself can't help but be curious.

"Okay, let's find a place where there's no one."

The group came to an empty alley. After confirming that there were no strangers or surveillance cameras around, Takina slowly raised the talisman in her hand and pointed it at Goto Ichiri who was standing in front of her with a nervous look on his face.

Chapter 177: Goto Ichiri, who has turned evil, heads to the Starry Exhibition Hall

"Are you ready?"

The tiger talisman in his hand lit up slightly, and Takina, holding the talisman, finally confirmed with Goto Ichiri.

"I'm ready!"

In response, Goto Ichiri nodded firmly and replied.

The next second, the tiger talisman shone brightly, and under the gaze of everyone, Goto Ichiri's figure slowly split into two under the power of the tiger talisman.

"We actually became two Ichiri classmates."

It was the first time that Kato Megumi saw the power of the tiger talisman and was slightly amazed.

Takina also put away the tiger talisman that was broken into two halves, and then everyone began to look carefully at the two Goto Ichisato who were split into two.

I saw that the expression of one of Goto Ichiri looked very weak. Although the original Goto Ichiri's expression was weak enough just looking at his usual expression, the Goto Ichiri in front of him was even weaker than the normal Goto Ichiri.

Ever since he appeared, Goto Ichiri has been standing in the same place, his body shaking with fear, but he dared not move. Facing the gazes of everyone, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

On the other hand, the other Goto Ichiri did not show any fear in the face of everyone's gaze. Instead, he looked at Qin Tian and others curiously and greeted them.

"Hello, Captain, and everyone, good afternoon."

"good afternoon."

Faced with this situation, everyone nodded in response, but their expressions were somewhat strange. After all, under normal circumstances, Goto Ichiri's personality would not allow him to greet them so openly.

There is another person, Goto Ichiri. Under normal circumstances, Goto Ichiri is very timid due to his social phobia, but considering the time they have spent together and their relationship, he should not be unable to bear being stared at.

All of this was obviously affected by the power of the tiger talisman.

Judging from the performance of the two Goto Ichiri, the one who acted more timid and weak than usual should be the separated good personality, while the other one who took the initiative to greet them should be the evil personality.

"The power of the spell is truly magical."

"But why would Ichiri, who has an evil personality, take the initiative to greet us? Logically speaking, since he has an evil personality, his personality should be very bad, right?"

I only heard Kato Megumi complaining about the two Goto Ichiri in front of her.

"After all, they are still Ichiri-san in essence, but their personalities have changed under the influence of the talisman. In other words, they will only do what the original Ichiri-san wants to do, and they will not do things that the original Ichiri-san never thought of doing, even if their personalities have changed under the influence of the talisman."

"Of course, we have to rule out the possibility that someone deliberately induced it."

In response, Qin Tian shrugged.

Again, although the power of the tiger talisman can forcibly divide a person into good and evil sides, the specific manifestations of the two independent personalities still depend on what kind of person the other person is originally.

For example, the evil personality that Qianzhu separated before still recognized Qin Tian and Takina, and did not show any hostility throughout the whole process.

The current situation of Goto Ichiri is the same. Even if he has an evil personality, how bad can he be?

On the other side, Goto Ichiri, who had a bad personality, also shrugged after hearing Kato Megumi's words.

"The words I used to greet everyone were exactly what that coward wanted to say but didn't dare to say. I am just saying it for her now."

"No, that's not the case, don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing the words of the evil personality Goto Ichiri, the good personality Goto Ichiri on the other side immediately looked flustered and stammered in response.

"You should know best whether there is one or not."

Goto Ichiri with the evil personality had no intention of saying anything more to Goto Ichiri with the good personality. Or perhaps because they were essentially the same person, Goto Ichiri with the evil personality knew very well that no matter what he said now, even if he beat the other person to death, Goto Ichiri with the good personality would never admit it.

"Okay, don't forget what our original purpose was. Since the power of the tiger talisman has successfully divided Ichiri into good and evil sides, then we will take Ichiri with the evil personality to do what we originally planned to do, and Kato, you will take Ichiri with the good personality and follow us."

Qin Tian clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself, and then made arrangements.

"clear."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Goto Ichiri with the evil personality, nodded. Only Goto Ichiri with the good personality was pulled behind Kato Megumi before he could react.

"So what did Ichiri-san originally plan to do?"
