You tell me, this is called daily youth?

'Why was it detected by the reincarnation game? Is this related to the diary I saw when I just crossed over? What consequences will this lead to?'

None of these questions can be answered, but one thing is clear to Yuuki:

Features? Desire?

A medical student in two lifetimes, a player who is always ready to deal with extraordinary things, even if it is a skill that has been practiced hard, each one can become a blueprint for the characteristics of the self, but none of them are distinctive enough.

"I see. Being a time traveler is my greatest characteristic. It is precisely because I have not forgotten this identity that I am constantly prepared to meet challenges."

He somewhat understood that this characteristic was the embodiment of his identity as a time traveler, just like how he recognized Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai at first sight, while the latter knew nothing about him.

But the reason why he is not omniscient is very simple. For example, Yuki doesn’t know the details of Li Dan and Thomas.

"Hey, what are you standing there for?"

Yuki stood on the platform in a daze for more than ten seconds, and was patted on the back by Mai, forcing him to come back to reality.

"Jump down and walk along the wall."

As 'thugs', they certainly couldn't take the subway, so they jumped off, swinging their heads back and forth.

"Which way?" Hayasaka Ai asked.

Yuki looked back and forth, raised his hand and pointed to the left: "Is that the direction of the castle?"

"It seems so, but this is the terminal. There is a dead end ahead. Let's go to the right." Sakurajima Mai pointed to the bus stop sign on the wall. She noticed the detail when she was running just now.

"Have you ever calculated how deep this place is?"

Ah this.

Hayasaka Ai and Mai looked at each other and shook their heads. They didn't even have time to run away just now, so who would care about this?

"Forget it, let's go left." Yuki gave a strange smile, turned around and walked towards the tunnel on the left.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Aren't you afraid that the dead end over there will be blocked by the enemy?"

The two girls didn't understand, but they didn't abandon Yuki. After hesitating for a moment, they followed him reluctantly and helped him find an excuse.

If the enemy pursues us, they will certainly search along the tunnel, so it will be more dangerous if we go to the right.

In fact, Yuki's idea was more complicated. When he was on the ground, he observed that the castle and the square were on the same plane, so he deliberately calculated the depth when entering the subway station.

'The error in depth between the basement and the second floor is less than five meters? Is this a coincidence?'

Yuki doesn't believe in coincidences. Just like at the beginning of the game, he had to go to the bottom to take a look. Without that look, even the bones would have been gnawed into powder.

In addition, just as Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai thought, he had to stop running and find a temporarily safe place to study the characteristics carefully.

The reincarnation game has no logic, but it attaches great importance to logic, just like an adventure without the guidance of a novice. He cannot defeat the Licker, and he cannot escape without eating the Red Moon's gift.

Risks and rewards are closely linked. He would rather take some risks and understand the role of his ego characteristics, which is the guarantee of survival in the next stage.

Following the railway tracks, we soon arrived at an open space. Judging from the complex railway tracks on the ground, this should be a temporary dispatching room with some temporary maintenance facilities next to it. The subway will turn around here and then run in the opposite direction.

There was no one there. Apparently all the staff had been scared away by the commotion on the ground, which saved Yuki the trouble of taking action. He quietly pushed open the door of the lounge with a knife and saw that it was empty inside, with several bottles of drinks spilled on the ground.

"It smells like Coke, but the label doesn't match." Sakurajima Mai picked it up and smelled it, with a depressed look on her face, "It seems that this is not Earth, even the technological development is weird."

The three of them had good observation skills and had noticed some anomalies long ago, such as the fact that the onlookers were clearly taking photos with their smartphones, but there was not a single surveillance camera in the subway.

"Hassaka, did you find anything?"

Yuki turned his head and looked at the blonde girl, who was sitting in a swivel chair typing on the keyboard at a very fast speed, opening and closing web pages one after another.

She searched for familiar information and found nothing.

"This is the city's intranet. I can't find any information other than this 'Blood Moon City'." Hayasaka Ai was equally disappointed. She glanced at Yuuki, who had an expressionless face. "You don't seem surprised at all? You haven't gotten over the feeling of being a fool yet, have you?"

A castle besieged by zombies is still within the acceptable range, but this copy is expanded to a city, with millions of people inside, each of whom is alive and well, and then creates consciousness and order, and satisfies physiological and psychological needs. This goes beyond the level of science fiction.

In front of Li Dan, Yuki did play a smart young man who burst out with infinite energy when forced into a desperate situation, but Hayasaka Ai knew that this man has been an expert since he joined the game, and in some aspects he is even more professional than veteran players.

"I'm not acting. For an existence that can send us here, it is a miracle in itself. Whether it is traveling through another world or creating a living city, it is all within its capabilities." Yuki spread his hands. This scene reminded him of The Matrix.

"Maybe we have been turned into data and stuffed into an inherent program, a bit like the virtual reality games that are so popular recently?"

"Could we be data and then enter a set game?" Mai Sakurajima thought to herself and thought of aliens for a moment.

"I'm just giving an analogy. Don't forget that Li Dan is an old player. Don't forget that we were sent here at the same time even though we were in different places. If Miss Mai wants to try whether she can wake up after death, I'm willing to do it for her."

Yuki used his thumb to push away the sharp blade, which made Sakurajima Mai feel a chill. She was also aroused by the man's teasing gaze, so she raised her chin.

"Forget it, I don't like taking risks."

"You're not afraid of pain, are you?"

"I'm not even afraid of death, so how can I be afraid of pain?"

"Well, then the screams I heard when I broke out must have been hallucinations." Yuki slapped his forehead, looking very distressed, "This reincarnation game is too cruel. It actually made me mentally ill."

puff.

Someone paused typing on the keyboard and covered his mouth. Then, when Sakurajima Mai's cold gaze swept over him, he returned to his expressionless and serious state.

These two people are really annoying.

She clenched her fists quietly, thinking that she had a sharp tongue, but ended up encountering a master of yin and yang. However, once her attention was distracted, her nerves that had been stretched to the extreme relaxed again.

She sat down on the swivel chair with her long legs crossed. The bunny girl suit was torn beyond recognition, but the stockings full of scratches made her even more attractive. Yuki, who was secretly eating the potato chips of the staff on duty, glanced over.

"Hey, you're too unscrupulous." Sakurajima Mai immediately put down her legs.

"I think peeping is even more rude. When you appreciate beautiful things, you have to be open and honest. Look carefully at my eyes, they are full of appreciation."

"I just saw a pervert." Sakurajima Mai snorted and waved her hands feebly, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let's talk about what to do next. We can't hide here for long."

"Don't forget hint 2. We are no longer in the castle." Yuki became more serious and put down the potato chips. "We can't stay in any place for more than two hours, which is about the same time we were discovered. Let's take a breath first, and then study the characteristics of the self. This thing contains the hope of survival in the next step."

"It's time to study it carefully. I suddenly feel that I have the ability to hold on."

"Haha, the game is so difficult, if there is no benefit, you will definitely die." Yuki laughed dryly, flashed the definition of "specialization point", and guessed that the ego characteristics will also be gradually strengthened.

He was very curious about what Mai Sakurajima could do at this stage, but he couldn't tell her. He had to let her explore it herself, so he turned around and opened the door.

"Hey, you're not going to defend against us, are you?" Hayasaka Ai looked over with sharp eyes.

"You really figured it out." The man's eyes were sincere, and there was nothing wrong with them. "The id characteristic should be the player's biggest trump card, and it can't be easily exposed. But the three of us have experienced several life-and-death tests, so I'm on guard against what you can do."

"then you......"

"I'll have to endure the fatigue of multitasking. I'll check what I'm concerned about while studying this feature. We'll meet again in about 20 minutes to discuss this."

boom.

Yuki closed the door and turned to look deep into the tunnel. After a night, he had figured it out.

Strength is only one factor. What is more important to survive is gathering intelligence. So Hayasaka Ai and the others can rest, but he cannot.

In addition to this, Yuuki also had a strong sense of curiosity.

How strange are the characteristics of a time traveler's ego?

Chapter 21 Upgrade and Strengthen (Modification)

boom.

The door closed and the footsteps faded away. Since this was the end of the tunnel, there was no need to worry about Yuki walking out of range alone.

Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai looked at each other. It was the first time they were alone in a temporarily safe situation. Looking at each other, they actually had a strange feeling.

Two people who had never met each other before, became very familiar with each other after just a few hours, just like when they were escaping in an ancient castle, they often knew what to do with just a glance.

No wonder some people say that life-and-death crises can bring people closer together. Within a few hours, she and I faced three life-and-death decisions.

Mai Sakurajima found it very strange, as if she had returned to a scene in a movie. However, although she trusted him, she still had a headache about this classmate Hasaka.

"You...have acted before?"

"No, or rather, I am different from acting, more like—" Hayasaka Ai put her finger on her lips and tilted her head to think for a while: "It's a self-protection mechanism for living in a complex and treacherous environment for a long time. I have to adjust my state according to the environment. Haha, I'm just kidding, doesn't it sound cool? Do you have the urge to make me an idol?"

The blonde girl looked indifferent at first, but suddenly she laughed out loud, and she seemed to see stars passing by with her closed left eye.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't laugh, she was not blind, of course she could tell the difference between the real and the fake.

"Hasaka-san, you look like you're living a very hard life."

"Although I'm tired, I'm actually quite happy most of the time, so I have to return alive no matter what. Mai-san, aren't you the same?"

"Well, after coming to the reincarnation game, I suddenly feel that life is precious." Mai smiled bitterly and supported her chin. "No wonder you are so powerful. It makes me more curious why he is stronger than ordinary people."

The room fell into a strange silence again. There was no answer to this question. Yuki was not an old player, but he exuded a sense of professionalism everywhere, as if he had already made various preparations.

"A kind of calmness that comes from being prepared for any eventuality is indeed curious." Hayasaka Ai stroked her chin with her fingers, and suddenly revealed a brilliant smile. She lowered her voice and gossiped, "A mysterious man, but I heard that when you are interested in a member of the opposite sex, there is a high chance that you will be attracted to him~~~~"

The blood-stained back and her usual chattering appearance automatically flashed through Sakurajima Mai's mind, as if she had two positive and negative personalities, sometimes making people nervous and sometimes making people relax.

But no matter what, he is the only light that can bring him safety in the cruel darkness of this game.

"Who did you listen to?"

"Isn't that what's written in love magazines? No way, no way, I really got it right."

"Hasaka-san, I suddenly think you are cuter when you are serious." Mai didn't want to answer and chose to skip the question, but suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, your id characteristic won't..."

"You, besides your pretty face, maybe he values ​​your intelligence more, but I think it would be more comfortable to be a fool and hide your true thoughts."

Hayasaka Ai suddenly stopped smiling, her face was full of indifference and rationality, she snapped her fingers, and a pure white mask appeared in her palm, it seemed like laughing, crying, angry, and resentful. She put it on her face, and Sakurajima Mai suddenly saw another self in her contracted pupils.

The disheveled clothes could not hide her pride like a flower on the mountain top, and her pretty face had a calm laziness. Then, she showed a professional smile like an idol.

"Yes, this is my characteristic, [Mask of the Fool]."

......

Just as Sakurajima Mai and Hayasaka Ai were communicating their feelings, Yuki was walking forward on the railroad tracks.

He looked around, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem.

"This idiosyncrasy is really interesting. It's actually extraction. It fits my view on the relationship between risk and return."

Just a few minutes ago, Yuuki had finished re-reading the annotations, and his expression became strange.

This is not a feature that simply and crudely improves combat effectiveness.

"At this stage, you can draw a gift every day. It cannot be stored. It is valid for 24 hours, and then there is a two-hour conceptual cool-down period. Is this to prevent me from making an instant comeback?"

"There are many kinds of costumes, character-oriented, concept-oriented, knowledge-oriented... Let's not talk about whether they are useful or not. It is indeed difficult for others to understand except me. It is indeed a costume for the unknown."

"Well, if there are specialization points, these restrictions should be weakened."

Yuki talked to himself, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned.

Even though he has not chosen to draw for the time being, he has already guessed a lot of information, such as the concept, which is essentially a variety of memes, and everyone except him will probably be confused.

Using a concept to influence reality is undoubtedly a very high-end supernatural power, but Yuki was not just resting on his laurels.

He knows that no matter what people, knowledge, or concepts, some are powerful, some are useless, and some are even dangerous.

Besides, the concept has a two-hour cooling-off period. Rather than saying it’s a comeback, it’s better to say he has to eat whatever he wants.

In addition, as an 'honest man', he is more accustomed to crushing the enemy step by step, but thinking about the characteristics of the game, he has to admit that this is a magical skill.

"If it's useful, it gives us an additional option to plan ahead. If it's useless, that's fine too—"

"Anyway, the id trait is just one component of the player. I can rely on other things."

After all, the ego trait is just a manifestation of a characteristic, not the whole of the player.

Chaos items, skills, and physical strength are more plain and simple, and constitute the foundation of a player's strength.

Yuki immediately shifted his attention. He was even more satisfied with the strengthening point. He had obtained it at great risk. Even Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai didn't have it, not to mention the two veteran players. According to his estimation, this should be a matter of contribution and difficulty.

He found the solution to the problem and verified it by him. As for the difficulty, if Thomas and Li Dan are pushed to the limit and join hands, they have a good chance of breaking through. Of course, they cannot expect any extra rewards.

He had already thought about how to use Yuki, so he simply slowed down and added the enhancement points to the 'skill column'. In just a moment, he covered his head because of the huge amount of knowledge that was poured in.

【Use it to strengthen the point. 】

[Skill: Enhance magic from entry level to master level.]

These two short sentences represent a magician's years of study, as well as his talent, magic level and other conditions.

It's a leap forward improvement. If I were a magician, I would be so pissed off. Wait, the magic level has also improved. If I use things from the same skill tree, will I get twice the result with half the effort?
