You tell me, this is called daily youth?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he had no time to dodge. The light blade, which concentrated all its energy, had already slashed down, splitting the fog wall in two and annihilating the torso and head together.

Hey.

Yuki landed on the bridge, and in the blink of an eye, there was no fog around him, as if he had just been in an illusion.

He glanced at the hole on his left chest and raised his sword expressionlessly.

"But I'm stronger."

Chapter 19: Games, are they evolving?

After one sword strike, there was no more fog, except for some human body parts on the bridge surface.

Yuki lowered his head expressionlessly and glanced at the hole on his chest, but shook his coat as if nothing had happened.

Key transfer.

This skill is useless against demons, but it is very suitable for players. Almost every player will study human anatomy and know where to attack the most deadly.

You have to play a trick that goes against common sense and create the illusion that he can fight back.

Yuki glanced at the frozen river surface, feeling a little regretful that after the death of the smoker, the stone fell directly into the river. There was no need to bandage it, so he just ran to the other end of the bridge.

Why did they choose to fight here? They were afraid that if the car overturned, they would escape as quickly as possible.

He turned his head and saw the player's broken limbs slowly sinking into the bridge and rushing into the thick fog. Then, a strong white light filled his vision.

[Player voluntarily leaves the random task, takes 4 hours]

[Reward: one reinforcement point. ]

A strange murmur sounded, and Yuki could not feel the pain in his left chest. The tyrant had told him that leaving the random mission would automatically repair the body, but there was a lack of prompts, so it was unclear how to get more rewards.

"So the reward is a speed race. Never mind. I didn't plan to get a reward from the game anyway."

Yuki had no regrets. This was originally an experiment. It was good enough that he didn't have to pay for it. Instead, he made a lot of money.

[Chaos Item: Impact Hammer (Chaos Level)]

[When the hammer touches an object, it will release a shock wave. The strength varies with the force of the wielder. Use times 0/10, cooldown time six hours]

[Side effect: The impact force is fed back to the user, causing impact on the arm holding the hammer]

【Description: Remember, force is relative】

No wonder the purple-haired boy is a muscular man. Most people would get broken bones if hit by a hammer. By the way, after players turn on the forum trading function, chaos items are complementary to skills or characteristics.

Yuki discovered another piece of information. As long as the player survives two copies, he will have some assets and thus have the right to choose. The battle system begins to be built. Then, for veteran players like Smoker, who have four years of experience, the system is complete and all that needs to be done is to deepen it.

The random copy space shrank faster than the regular copy, and the light soon dimmed. Yuki did nothing but closed his eyes and savored the fast-paced tasks of the past few hours.

Four players, two chaos items, abundant soul energy, and one reinforcement point...

His fingers trembled slightly, and a desire to hunt surged up, but soon, reason suppressed all the desire.

Don't let greed blind your eyes. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. If it is a real encounter, how can you collect intelligence and arrange psychological tactics in advance?

Besides, other people are not fools. Who can guarantee that they won’t be the fish that takes the bait next time?

"It's almost time for Devil's Heart to enter a new stage. If the reincarnation game is stupid enough, can I use random tasks with Hayasaka Ai to get rewards?"

After the chaotic thoughts, darkness had completely swallowed him up.

"return."

It only took a few hours from being dragged into the random mission to returning, but the people from the academy and the consortium had already reacted.

On the surface, it was said that a crime had occurred and the police were mobilized to seal off the scene. Secretly, the players on both sides were in contact with each other from a distance, and because of the encounter, they were very cautious and only dared to test from a distance.

As a result of Yuki's actions, the shadow of war began to gather quietly. In the past, it was okay that we didn't know who the enemy was, but this time it was obvious that the player group of the Advanced Training Academy was causing trouble.

Of course, neither party involved is stupid. They have to investigate the matter thoroughly before determining their position. There is a lot of room for maneuver here.

"As for how you operate, it's none of my business. I'm only responsible for muddying the waters."

Having ignited the fuse, Yuki chose to return directly to the rental house in Izu. It was impossible to sit back and wait. Only a fool would return to the same place.

Yuki was not nervous because he never revealed his identity from beginning to end, and even Shiina Hiyori did not appear.

Just investigate casually, if you find any clues, I lose.

He originally thought of putting the robotic arm on the trading post, but finally gave up. On the one hand, it was too embarrassing, and on the other hand, even if the other party couldn't come over and chop him through the network cable, if he had skills like divination, he might be able to find clues.

Yuki was very patient, as if he had nothing to do with the matter. He was not in a hurry to contact anyone, but just stared at the two chaos props in the space in a daze.

This was an experiment, and a key part of it was testing my limits, and now the results are in.

Because of the mission rating, player qualifications do not represent strength, but the four people he killed are quite representative.

"After all, with the support of the organization and the guidance of others, he can avoid many pitfalls. His strength must be above average. Putting aside the intelligence advantage——"

"Is the limit four copies?"

He probably had an idea in his mind. The strongest veteran player he had ever seen was Tyrant, and the latter, as a retail investor, was much weaker than Smoker.

With level two versus level four, this growth rate is already terrifying, and it also brings out the feeling of uneasiness under the red moon.

"The more I look at it, the more it looks like they're trying to nip me in the bud. Never mind, I'll just investigate further."

Yuki didn't do anything extra, so he just browsed the forum and took a nap.

Fighting with several players for hours is a bit tiring, and friends who often act as killers should understand that after committing a crime, they must resist the urge to show off and avoid the limelight first.

Perhaps he was really tired, or perhaps it was the sense of security brought by diverting the trouble away, Yuki slept until noon the next day.

Then he didn't rush to contact the outside world. He took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka and didn't turn on the old phone until he was far enough away from Izu.

Ding ding.

Not long after, the phone began to vibrate. He answered it and put it to his ear, waiting patiently for several seconds before he heard the voice.

“You’re very professional.”

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was somewhat impressed by the other party's caution. He didn't leave any clues at all. He had clearly done some communication interference to ensure the safety of the conversation, but this person was still worried and didn't turn on the phone until the next day.

"Thank you." Yuki's voice was cold.

"Are you a killer?"

"That's about right. Want to make a psychological portrait of me?"

"That's an insult to each other's intelligence. How could someone as careful as you leave any clues?" Ayanokouji leaned against the wall. He had thought about it before, but now he has given up.

A professional, cautious and powerful hunter.

This was his most profound impression at the moment, so he took a deep breath and said, "I will do the rest. Do you want to participate?"

I stepped into the vortex out of boredom. No matter what you do, it will be good for me.

"I'm not interested now, but I want to know more about the reincarnation game." Yuki grinned, still cold.

Ayanokouji wants to break the balance and fish in troubled waters, while Yuki wants to know more information, so both of them get what they want.

He had completed the task and passed the test. As someone who could kill four players in a short period of time, regardless of intelligence or strength, he was qualified to negotiate terms.

"I'll send you what I can say, and what I can't say is the rules of the game and has nothing to do with my subjective will." Ayanokouji also seemed very straightforward. He had a lot of things to do right now and had no time to argue with Yuki.

The reason is the same as Yuki's. Knowing this information, no matter what he does, it will not be bad for him.

"Is it authentic?"

"You want to hear a lot of stories on the forum. These things may not be accurate, but they are all my analysis."

"So, you are a veteran player?"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka did not answer immediately. He thought about the players he met during his novice period. Unless they super evolved, none of them would have anything to do with the other.

"If certain conditions are met, the time to enter the dungeon can be controlled. Do you understand what I mean?"

“Why do we need to control time?”

"This information will cost you a fee, and it's not the right time to tell you yet."

I just asked casually, how did I get involved in important information?

Yuki was confused and simply hung up.

"I'm waiting for your information. I'll contact you later if there's anything. This is the end of our contact."

The Shinkansen rumbled forward as the passengers nearby slept soundly. After a while, a cell phone notification sounded.

A long paragraph of information was transmitted to him, and Yuki looked at it intently. He had a good memory and remembered all the hundreds of words in his mind.

Click.

He crushed the phone and stuffed the pieces into his pocket. Yuki shrank back into his chair, his face looming as the train entered the tunnel.

After a while, he sighed.

The reincarnation game is constantly evolving?

Chapter 20: Those in power are confused

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka joined the game at least two copies earlier than him, and with a lot of helpers and out of interest, he actually found many clues.

These clues have no direct relationship to the fights between players or survival in dungeons, so most players are not interested in exploring them.

If you have this time, why not practice your shooting skills or enjoy life? Only players who are extremely smart and like to trace the roots will do this.

"He was calculating, but I was forced."

Yuki stroked the armrest. This game was not right for him from the beginning. Bloodthirsty Red Moon was extremely difficult, and he felt like he was being targeted everywhere.

No, it was me who was not right about the reincarnation game. After all, I was the one who received the news in advance and prepared secretly.

Yuki thought about it the other way around and felt relieved. Now he had no idea who wrote the words in the diary, but he knew that the clues found by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka were very useful.

Precisely because it does not involve player fights and dungeon survival, he shared it so readily.

"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was not one of the first players, but according to what he found out, the intervals between copies were relatively long at first, and the secrets were strictly kept."

First, anyone who leaks game-related information will not simply pay a price and then get the information corrected; instead, they will be directly eliminated.

Second, the time in the dungeon is not consistent with reality. Even if you stay in the dungeon for several years, it only takes a moment to return to reality.

The last time I returned, my analysis was wrong. The reincarnation game started earlier than I guessed, but because of these two rules, I couldn’t find any anomalies even if I looked everywhere for them.

"Wait, no wonder my pretense went so smoothly last time."

Yuki came to his senses and realized that he was very confused when he entered the Demon Hospital. Tsubaki accepted the setting so readily and had almost no doubts.

Now thinking back, it should be that Zhou also knew the relevant clues, so it is hard to believe, but not unacceptable.

"So they haven't reached this level yet, is it because there are very few players at this stage? Or is it like the setting of immortals and humans in immortal cultivation novels? I just asked about Ayanokouji's qualifications, is this related?"

The mind wanders away and then returns to the present from the state of delusion.

According to the information Ayanokouji has, the reincarnation game is clearly evolving, or in other words, it is getting deeper into reality. As for the starting time, it is no longer traceable, and it is not even clear whether there is a stage setting.

Although it is an evolution, the setting is too big a step.

In the past, there were no forums, no teams, the copy time was instant, leaked information was immediately erased, and there was no real blueprint. Now it has obviously become richer and more real.

If there are stronger players, where are they?

Yuki paused, thinking of the speculation that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

The forum's authority is limited, and the game's settings seem to be a selection mechanism. Could it be that the more powerful players have other arrangements? But the question remains -

Since it's a selection, why are you bothering me?

His thoughts were a little confused, lacking some key logical chains, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka failed to finish his message. It seemed that there were deeper reasons for his eagerness to start a war.

"At least, I am getting closer to the truth, and with the truth, I can set goals."

Yuki gave up thinking. The biggest difference between a genius and a mediocre person is that genius knows how to be restrained and not think about questions that have no answers.

Back to the present, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's move at least relieved his own pressure, and Hayasaka Ai should have the opportunity to get in-depth contact with Shinomiya Kaguya.

He took out another cell phone and was about to send a message to the maid when the familiar whispering sounded in his mind.

[Player Jiecheng is about to start a regular mission—the authorities are the most confused. ]

[It is detected that the player has turned on the team function. Do you want to share the task? ]
