You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Very strong, stronger than Bull Demon.

Yuuki's heart trembled. According to the information that Hiyori had found out, there was more than one person wearing a golden mask. Judging from the most superficial appearance, this plot mission was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

'Then he showed no disguising his hostility, but like Abate, he showed no interest in me.'

It's good news, Yuki has discovered that 'Bloody Disaster' has a hidden feature, which is exactly the opposite of 'Devil's Hospital' where 'those involved are confused'.

You can't use killing to weaken the enemy's strength. The more you kill, the more excited the people here will be, and the stronger the challenger will be. Yuki doesn't think he has the strength to crush them one by one.

"My name is Elke." The newcomer sat down next to him and observed Yuki carefully. He had reported the other party's existence to the apostles before, but at that time he only regarded him as an interesting seed.

I never thought that in just one day, this seed had taken root and sprouted, and actually became the first warrior.

The recent conversation flashed through his mind, and he made no secret of his hostility. "I've come here specifically to inform you that, even if it's not glorious at all, you are already a warrior of Death Arena IV."

The tone was very stiff, without any hint of congratulations.

"I'm the first?" Yuki asked casually with a frivolous tone.

"Yes, an ignominious first place," Elke replied. There was nothing to hide.

What an unexpected gain, I actually got the first place.

The strategy for conquering Yucheng is a unique approach, and is indeed different from the "fight to the end" mode of the dungeon.

"Did you arrange for the Bull Demon?"

"Yes, the middle part is skipped." Elke was still direct. People in this dungeon never beat around the bush. "Either you are terminated, or you prove your worth."

I'm making you feel uncomfortable, so I'd be surprised if I didn't omit it. As for my value...

"There are several seeded players who can catch up now. When will I fight with them?" Yuki suddenly spoke without any preparation.

Elke's eyes froze for a moment, and he turned his head slightly to the side and said coldly, "This is not your concern. Just follow the instructions."

Everyone in this copy is stupid.

As a professional cunt, Yuuki's expression was so subtle that it told him the answer:

You are more precious than you think.

His mind became active, and he thought about it. With eight death arenas and eight warriors, and the strength of those plot characters, coupled with the weird and fanatical atmosphere, the failure rate of the player team is very high, and there will definitely not be many who can survive the 'Novice Village'.

No wonder this golden mask came, it represents the importance the cult places on me, or rather, on the 'seed'.

After using some talk therapy to extract important information, Yuki was not moved, nor did he change his ways. He found that his value was far beyond his imagination, so he just made the best use of it.

"We're fighting as a team, why am I the only warrior?"

Warrior - Warrior - Champion, these are the three levels of this plot, and everyone who steps onto the ring can be considered a warrior.

Elke blinked, as if he had heard an incomprehensible and idiotic question. After a long while, he replied, "The Warrior title can only be awarded to the strongest member of the team. How can we allow a weakling to tarnish this honor?"

Only one person? Does this mean that even if Hayasaka takes over for me and defeats the other warriors, the title will still go to me?

Yuki caught the message in the words and asked again, "But our team didn't all attack. How can you judge the strength and weakness, and how can you be sure that I am the strongest?"

Ah this.

Yuki's question had completely overwhelmed Elke's CPU. He turned to look at Abate, as if asking, "Who's crazy, him or me?" Abate shrugged, indicating that he'd been tortured along the way.

Of course you are the strongest. No, I can't be sure, but how can a strong person hide behind a weak person?

He thought about this question for a long time before answering, "This needs to be resolved among you. Whoever wants to become a warrior will defeat you."

I see, no wonder there's a tip that limits it to 3 times.

Yuki said that there is no such thing as defeat in a death fight here, because the opponent has no mercy and will never accept surrender, and there is no way to voluntarily withdraw from the ring.

"This prevents players from farming rewards. Otherwise, if I obtain the Warrior, deliberately lose to Hayasaka, and then take it back, wouldn't that mean I can endlessly farm Specialization Points?"

Yuki had a desire to exploit a bug, but when he thought about the fact that the reincarnation game would adjust the difficulty automatically, he gave up.

"What are the benefits of being a warrior?"

Elke's disgust became even stronger. Compared with the copy character, Yuki really seemed too materialistic.

"You and your team will be respected by this city until you cross the line."

Guessed it.

Yuki clenched his fists lightly, which meant that he didn't have to keep fighting to cover the actions of the seniors, and he could also leave the death arena and move freely.

Yuki released his hand and asked, "What does the red line mean?"

"Just don't do things you shouldn't do until our patience runs out."

What does it mean that you shouldn't do it? What does it mean that you have run out of patience? Can your answer be more abstract?

Even with Yuki's intelligence, he was confused by Elk. For example, he messed with people's mentality, and the senior sister explored everywhere. These were things that shouldn't be done.

"My unique fighting style is challenging your boundaries?"

"Indeed, this kind of fighting has no honor at all and is an act that should be despised."

What honor is that? Isn’t it just that I didn’t cooperate with you in that mysterious ceremony?

Yuki sneered and spread his hands: "Now, I insist on my own fighting style, should I be dealt with?"

The masked man's eyes froze for the second time, as if he was very angry, but he could only swallow the anger in his throat.

"I don't want to answer that question."

Hahaha, your red line is quite flexible. Just say it depends on my value adjustment.

Yuuki almost laughed out loud. It turned out that there was no problem in following the main line of the mission. If there were many players left now, he would probably be in crisis like what Hiyori said.

This isn't a gamble. When he was warned last time but received no specific punishment, he was already prepared to test the bottom line. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just act like a fool and fight to the end.

Then this flexible red line explains many issues, such as the status of other players, and the importance of the player in this copy.

At least you are not like the outsiders in Yaduo Town, one more or one less does not make much difference.

"If a warrior is defeated and his title is stripped, should the benefits be reclaimed?"

Elke fell into deep thought again. He always felt that this person's questions were very tricky. If he was defeated, he would die directly. What good would a dead person do?

"I do not know."

That means it won’t happen. The prompt only says that it will upgrade with the player’s status, but it doesn’t say that it will be downgraded.

Yuuki came to his senses and opened his mouth again: "I have another question."

"Enough! I'm only here to inform the Order of their decision, not to answer your questions." Elke stood up suddenly. He had realized that this bastard had been trying to trick him. "Just wait patiently. When the other warriors from the Death Arena emerge, I'll arrange for you to fight. Don't die then."

"Hey, leaving so soon? Sit down and have a couple of cups of coffee."

"I definitely won't ask. Come, let's chat about family matters."

Yuki kept calling out to him, but Elke didn't even dare to turn his head. He thought to himself that these bastards were so despicable. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said a word and would have left immediately after conveying the message.

He took Abate out and slammed the door shut, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Abate had long been aware of Yuki's shamelessness. He frowned and asked, "The cult will just watch him cause trouble?"

"There are eight groups of seeds, and now there are only three left." Elke blocked all the questions with just one sentence. There is no such thing as match-fixing in this world. There are too few players who can reach the level of "Warriors".

"But this Kevin broke the rules, so he's useless." Abate didn't quite understand the above idea. He would have punished him physically before, so why would he use verbal warnings?

"Who said it's useless?" Elke looked at him coldly, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Have you ever heard of the saying 'to praise first, then to criticize'? Even with such a completely opposite style, the Apostle is still useful."

"But the rules..."

"This is an order. If you don't obey, challenge the Apostle. If you win, you will be the new rule."

Wearing a golden mask, he exudes a strong murderous intent. There is no explanation within the cult, and no objection to questioning.

But that will have to be argued with sword and blood.

.........

"They were chatting outside the door, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about."

Hayasaka Ai has been standing silently behind Yuuki, with a look of regret in her eyes.

"What's so good about it? It's just about how to use me." Yuki was single, supporting his head with a faint smile on his lips.

He was afraid that the people from the cult wouldn't come. You see, after a conversation, he gained a lot of important information.

"This dungeon has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Not to mention the warriors, even the citizen players alone can't handle it. But—" Yuki pointed at the gate and nodded his head.

"They have a problem here. It's so easy to trick them."

It's okay for you to call someone a retard right after they leave.

Hayasaka Ai was also amused, and it took her two seconds to regain her seriousness: "Well, it's not that they are stupid, it's just that, uh..."

"A bunch of straight men, all they have in their heads is fighting and killing. If it were me, I would have tied up the seniors long ago. They don't need a red string. If they don't obey, I will kill them. Hey, I was just kidding. Why are you standing so far away?"

Yuki realized that while he was talking, Hayasaka Ai had already run three meters away, so he quickly called her back.

"Alright, alright. Thanks to Elke, I've figured out two key pieces of information." Yuki held up two fingers, his cold demeanor returning to normal.

"First, the other players aren't in good shape. This is probably related to the difficulty of the dungeon. If I had followed the script, I'd probably be out of my mind by now."

"Secondly, players play an important role in this dungeon, one might even say indispensable. Since I'm both a player and a 'warrior', my potential value is quite significant."

Hayasaka Ai nodded repeatedly. She had also heard it. As an observer, she even thought about it a little more: "It seems that the cult is not so opposed to your fighting style anymore. Why is that?"

"Because you have to suppress first before you can promote. If I can move forward a few more steps and someone else finishes me off, the scene will definitely be crazy." Yuki crossed his legs and said firmly.

The more you suppress it, the crazier it will explode.

After the battle with the Bull Demon, Hayasaka Ai also experienced it personally. Why such a fanatical atmosphere should be created and what role the audience plays are still unknown, but she knows.

Isn't that kind of almost insane atmosphere what the cult is pursuing?

"So we—"

"Since we have such a rare commodity, we might as well make the most of it." Yuki stood up with the help of the armrest and straightened the collar of his shirt.

"Try to test their bottom line."

......

As the plot deepens, more and more clues emerge like mushrooms after rain.

The 'respect' that Elke mentioned was genuine. After being tested by Miss Kaguya herself, their team was no longer unable to move forward even in a non-combat state.

But this 'respect' is ridiculous.

In the death arena, although Yuuki is hated by everyone, at least everyone hopes for his death. However, in the city, Mai and others can move freely, which proves the inference of Yuuki and Hiyori's "roles".

The audience and the citizens play different roles, and although they are only separated by a wall, they are clearly distinguished.

"But we can't enter other deathmatch arenas and can't connect with other player teams."

Shiina Hiyori sat in the car in distress, supporting her chin with her hands.

The cult guards refused entry to any player. The senior student tried to sneak in, but the passage was too narrow and the guards were too close. After weighing the risks, she retreated.

Hiyori tried the Void Puppet, but there was not enough time and there was no program in the Death Arena. The information she got from just listening in the corridor was really limited.

The audience will only cheer and roar, the only difference is that sometimes it is loud and sometimes it is small.

Due to the problem of combat effectiveness, they did not think of breaking in by force.

"Thank you for your hard work. At least we know that Adam is in Death Arena No. VIII, and he does have a problem." Mai patted the girl's back gently. She knew that it was painful to have the five senses split for a long time, and Hiyori had already taken several comfort pills.

They spent half a day visiting five death arenas before finding Adam at VIII. They didn't need any plans; they could hear the roar of the sea as soon as they entered the gate.

"Adam! Adam! Adam!"

This is the exact opposite of Yuuki, and it can be said that he is fanatical to the extreme.

Didn't they say that after becoming a warrior, no one would challenge him? Could it be that this Adam hadn't been promoted to a warrior yet?

Also, whether he is a player or a plot character with the same name, forcing contact is too risky, so we can only rely on guessing.

Mai lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked inside the car.

Kaguya in the back seat was withdrawn, muttering to herself, "Why is it always me?"; Hiyori next to her was forcing herself to look at the bustling street, her eyes bloodshot.

"Everyone is very tired, do you want to take a break?"

Of course they were tired. They had just left the raging sea and immediately entered this strange blood-red city.

"Senior, I've noticed that the frequency of street fighting seems to be increasing. This isn't a good sign," Hiyori said without blinking. Only she could compile such big data. "There's also a red car, and the driver is secretly observing us."
