You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Mai was interested in the first half of the sentence, but was stunned when she heard the second half. However, she knew that she must not turn her head to look at this time.

She glanced behind her and saw that Kaguya, who had been muttering to herself, had sat up at some point, an arrow in her hand.

"That shouldn't be the case. There has never been any sign of surveillance in this copy, including going to those black buildings where you won't be tracked." Mai was puzzled.

"That's right. The people in this dungeon are too devoted to violence. They're not afraid of our prying eyes. We have to force our way through important places anyway." Hiyori glanced at the rearview mirror every few seconds and whispered, "This guy is rather thin, and his eyes aren't fierce. His features aren't clear, so he's probably in disguise."

"That's the player who saw through hint 5." Mai lowered her voice, a hint of excitement in her voice.

She made two preparations this time. Since she couldn't enter the death arena, why not wait for others to come to her?

Any player with a little bit of common sense should know that the championship is not worth competing for.

"That car is coming." Kaguya reminded in a low voice, and the red car really drove over.

It crossed the entire street, and the angry traffic stopped one after another, which was obviously a form of 'respect'.

After confirming that it was undoubtedly a player, Mai reached out and pressed down the longbow in Kaguya's hand: "Don't worry, we don't know yet whether the deathmatch rules will be effective between players."

Kaguya immediately put down her bow. The deathmatch could not be interfered with, and she didn't want to fight a stranger in a one-on-one duel.

It was definitely too late to drive away, but the three people in the car did not panic and just waited for the red car to drive over.

As Rihe had observed, there was only a young man in the car. He was not strong, had a bun on his head, and wore black sunglasses on his face.

The windows of both cars rolled down at the same time. The young man turned his head and looked over, slightly curious, and asked, "When did you find out I was following you?"

His tone was relaxed, and it was obvious that he had some brains.

"Even though you changed three cars, you didn't disguise your face. You really underestimated us." Hiyori replied with a smile, which made the boy feel depressed.

How could I underestimate it? With such heavy traffic, it's impossible for a normal player to detect the abnormality of a certain driver.

"Observation-type extraordinary skills?"

How could Shiina Hiyori possibly tell him? She gave him a polite smile and sketched out a character model in her mind:

He is extrovert, mentally normal and fearless.

The boy was not annoyed. He lowered his head slightly, lowered his sunglasses, and glanced inside the car with his black eyes, his eyes becoming amazed.

Coming to this ghost place full of muscular guys, he actually saw three beautiful girls sitting in a car. Even though there were props interfering, his intuition told him that these three girls were definitely very beautiful.

In addition, his intuition also told him that these three people posed no threat.

"Why don't you three run?"

"Why are you running?" Mai asked back, appearing calm and composed.

Of course, your combat power is not strong enough, and you seem out of place in this dungeon.

The boy wanted to answer like this, his ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head quickly.

Ten meters away on the street, a man was sitting on a bench, leaning forward, flicking and closing the long knife in his hand, with a tinkling sound.

He didn't say anything, didn't stand up, and when he noticed the boy's gaze, he just raised his head slightly and gave him a polite smile.

Gulu.

The boy swallowed his saliva, and his intuition quickly brought back the result:

Deadly threat.

Chapter 4: Double Gun Zhang (K)

The reason why Mai Sakurajima and others did not escape is obvious.

Yuuki sat quietly not far away, keeping an eye on them silently to avoid any hostile actions from some brainless players.

There was no connection between the two parties beforehand, so there was no cause and effect, so the boy had no chance to notice at all.

Real fishing is about communicating with the bait. Sakurajima Mai never thought of escaping from the beginning.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked with a smile, just like she did at the beginning.

The boy immediately put away his desire to perform. He could use his special ability to sense whether he was discovered, but a few seconds ago, he didn't feel threatened at all.

Coincidence? They didn't even know their companions were catching up?

This could only be explained by coincidence. The boy's smile turned ugly: "Uh, can I say I was just passing by?"

"Okay, but you have to tell him." Mai pointed to Yuuki not far away. She had already discovered that the young man was not hostile.

If there was, he wouldn't even be able to get to him.

"No need for that. It's just a small matter, perfect for a younger brother like us to discuss."

The young man was straightforward and mentioned in passing that there was someone behind him, but he found that this was useless.

The man heard it, but his cold eyes did not change at all. At least at this moment, no matter how strong the person behind him was, he could not save him.

I was careless. Fortunately, these women are not that strong. If he really kills me, we will have the same chance of revenge.

In the "Blood Disaster", Sakurajima Mai and others are undoubtedly weaknesses, but it is precisely because of their weaknesses that the young man dared to show up.

As Yuuki speculated, there was more than one player team in the copy. The team the boy belonged to also discovered the secret of Hint 5 and used various methods to collect information.

Since he didn't have Hiyori's observation ability, the boy mainly wandered around the streets, using his characteristics to identify the presence of players, and then he actually found them.

"With his intuition, he dared to approach the seniors so carelessly. He must have found them to be no threat at all."

Yuki did not participate in the conversation, but only listened to the entire process using the communicator Lingzi communicator.

It has been two days since I entered the dungeon, and this is the first other player I have encountered.

The boy's purpose was simple, which was to seek cooperation and exchange information. He had obviously discovered that the championship was not something he could win, and of course he was also trying it out, but this test hit a wall.

Mai was in charge of the conversation, while Hiyori observed the details of the expression and occasionally asked a couple of tricky questions, and Kaguya continued to act like an ice sculpture, giving people constant mental pressure.

It was too difficult for this kind of combination to beat around the bush, and after a few rounds the boy became frank. Yuki listened carefully and was intrigued by several things.

Is there 'Double Gun Zhang' behind him?

It is a common tactic to remind the people behind you to weaken your presence, just like the people in the "Daytime" group do not hide their identities when they are in danger, which is to remind other players that "if you touch me, you will pay the price."

Since they were in the same dungeon, there was almost no possibility of bragging. Yuki had never seen this player, but the latter was the kind of person who had made a name for himself on the forum.

As a veteran player, his strength must be quite strong. Tyrant once worked with him and even joked that he was cosplaying.

Yuuki used to not really understand why he needed something as useless as 'reputation', but now he thinks it does make sense.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. If the senior student calls out my name, it will not be intimidating at all.

Brother Zhang realized that there was a problem with continuing the killing, but he was being roasted on the fire and had no choice but to fight on. He keenly discovered how to use hint 5.

The characters in the story will never accept defeat, and the only concept in their minds is "win or die".

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the chance of defeat can only be effective between players. By signing a contract, you can ensure that you can leave the plot with dignity.

As for how the cult would react if they were defeated but not killed, the boy did not reveal it, but Yuuki guessed that this team of players had some kind of concealment item that allowed them to hide.

"Senior, use the Fengtu Contract to make him tell the truth, and then ask him what I can get if I agree to cooperate."

Sakurajima Mai immediately understood that Yuki was moved, and took out the bamboo slips. The boy was a bachelor, so he signed the contract in his own name.

The young man named 'Li Mo'an' promised to tell the truth, and the Yuki team was willing to provide equivalent information.

"We can provide intelligence. You guys should go to various death fighting arenas to investigate. We just happen to have some free intelligence to offer." Li Mo'an touched his nose, and his face turned from playful to grim.

"Including you, there are at least six player teams participating in the dungeon, and now we know there are only three left."

Oh, is it so fast?

Yuki was also a little surprised. He hadn't even seen the other players, but most of them had been eliminated. So he listened carefully to the boy's complaints.

"This damn dungeon is too difficult. No, to be more precise, the combat atmosphere is too intense. It's always a fight to the death. Even if those plot characters are slightly weaker than the player, they can often counterattack. And they have the advantage of the terrain. Standing in that damn arena, either your legs will tremble, or you'll rush in like a fool and fight to the death."

As if he finally had someone to talk to, he kept complaining, and Mai and the others nodded in agreement.

If one has poor psychological quality, he will not be able to exert his full strength due to nervousness. If one has too good psychological quality, he will be easily infected by the fanatical atmosphere. Yuki's original purpose of opening the night domain was to block spiritual erosion.

"All of these characters are melee fighters. You can't defeat them even if you fight hard. The further you go, the harder it gets. If you fight seven or eight times a day, there's no time to recover your strength."

"What if it's a round-robin match?" Hiyori suddenly interrupted.

The boy felt very comfortable with the light voice, and he patiently replied, "Not to mention that the Lone Ranger can't fight in a rotation. The players in each team have their own strength-building direction, so there won't be many people suitable for dealing with that kind of battlefield. And then the prompt 5 is even more deadly."

"If one player is defeated, it is equivalent to the defeat of the entire team. If a player is defeated three times, even if other players did not participate in the battle, the entire team will be wiped out?" Hiyori had already thought of it. This was exactly the key question she was eager to answer.

"That's right, this copy seems free, but in fact it traps the players." The young man sighed, his face full of sadness.

It was obvious that this information was obtained by their companions at the cost of their lives, which made the three people in the car silent. No wonder they were so anxious. They only had one chance to defeat the enemy, otherwise they would all be wiped out.

It is really a place full of hidden dangers. Even in a team of experienced players, there won't be many players suitable for fighting. After fighting several battles a day, even an iron man will be exhausted.

The characters in the story are not fools. They may underestimate the enemy at the beginning, and they will not accept group fights later. Basically, they are one-on-one or two-on-two. The problem is back to the starting point:

Aren’t the ones who are going to fight the same few professional players?

"My suspicions were confirmed. If many seeds could reach the level of warriors, the Cult would have intervened long ago, instead of just talking nonsense."

Yuuki continued to listen while thinking. Perhaps to show his willingness to cooperate, the boy also gave him an important piece of information:

The deathmatch rules apply to the entire city, including battles between players and passers-by. Once the deathmatch begins, teammates cannot interfere.

"You're saying that a team of players escaped the arena and tried to hide, but ended up getting into a fight with passersby. Because their teammates forcibly intervened in the fight, they were punished by the game?"

The young man looked back in surprise. The man who had just been sitting on the bench had come to the side of the car without him noticing. The distance between them was getting closer, making him feel a huge sense of oppression.

A monster, just like Big Brother Zhang, who took charge of all the battles.

He instinctively moved back and answered honestly, "Yes, our entire team was attacked by people from the entire street, so it was dangerous for us to fight alone, but being surrounded and attacked was equivalent to a dead end."

This is true. The combat effectiveness of the citizens is obvious to all. Even if the player can crush a few of them and defeat dozens of them, it is impossible to survive being attacked by hundreds of people.

As we have seen and heard along the way, there are only a few people who started the war, and most people are fanning the flames. If those who fan the flames are allowed to roll up their sleeves and fight, the situation will definitely be bad.

So tip 4 is both a restriction and a protection?

Yuki is no stranger to this. This is just like the elevator in the Devil's Hospital. The rules restrict both parties and also protect the players.

They exchanged a glance, each a little frightened. They thanked themselves for having learned the essence of 'Going Slow' and not blindly trying. Looking at the heavy traffic outside, with hundreds of people on the street, Yuki was likely to be beaten to death.

In other words, if you follow the rules of Tip 4, you won't be ganged up on. It's a bit like triggering a random mission, and the deathmatch is conducted on a round-by-round basis.

Unfortunately, I was not alone this time, and Hiyori and the senior did not have much fighting power.

Yuuki's mind raced through many thoughts before returning to the topic: "How did you know this information? And how do you know there are only three groups of players left?"

With the feeling of oppression, all eyes are focused on the young man. The truth does not mean the real thing. Don't analyze it for a long time and be misled by the story made up by others.

Li Mo'an didn't show any fear, but instead puffed out his chest and said, "Because of Brother Zhang's reputation, we did our best to contact the other players after entering the dungeon, and prepared to unite and conquer the dungeon."

We found five groups of players in two days. This efficiency is quite good. I didn’t expect that reputation could be used in this way.

Yuki nodded silently, just like he was interested when the boy mentioned the name of Double-Gun Zhang just now. Brother Zhang has been cultivating his reputation. At least he is quite famous in the player forum, and not as notorious as the "Artist" and the like.

Is this considered a mainstream player? Unfortunately, I can't learn it.

Being able to play this style of play must be fearless in real life, not afraid of enemies coming to find the door. If Yuki wants to unite other players based on reputation alone, people will only ask:

Who do you want to play?

"But that Brother Zhang still couldn't save the players."

"There's nothing I can do. Hint 4 is here, so even if Brother Zhang wants to help, there's nothing I can do." Li Mo'an chuckled and said gloomily, "Deathmatch is on, and anyone who intervenes will be punished. Players can't enter other deathmatch arenas to help. It's good enough that we can exchange information. Let me be frank."

He kept looking at his watch. It was obvious that this communication time was also delayed by Brother Zhang at the risk of his life. He had no time to talk nonsense with Yuki.

"According to the player teams we've contacted, those who stray from the plot will surely die, either being worn down by passersby or being eliminated by the cult. If they want a dignified exit, they can only rely on the power of us players, but..."

"But there's only one group of players in a Death Arena. It's impossible for them to meet in the arena unless they cross the Death Arena's boundaries." Yuki finished his words for him, returning the favor.

"Tell Zhang Shuangqiang that his guess about hint 5 is correct. Becoming a hero will allow you to transcend the Death Arena and gain lasting respect. And I've verified that this respect will not be reduced by losing the title."

This is it!

Excitement was almost written all over Li Mo'an's face. He took the risk of getting something for free just to wait for this information.

It is useless to just withdraw. If you want to move around in this city full of powder kegs, you must have "respect" and exclude a large number of citizens, otherwise you will not be able to move forward.

No one is a fool. Everyone has figured out what the cult wants to do, and the defeated players have no value in existence and will definitely be eliminated.

"Honesty?"

"Of course. After all, I'm a warrior now and can get more information."
