You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Shiina Hiyori was reading the details on the door. When he saw Yuuki coming, he hurried to meet him.

"Mr. Yuki, I've looked everywhere, and every building has a door like this. Every detail is exactly the same. It doesn't look like it was man-made."

She is very observant in real life reading and can find the difference even if they are produced from the same mold.

Yuki nodded and walked around the door a few times. He found that this thing was much larger than the previous door. It could accommodate four or five people walking in side by side.

"Do you want to try it?" Hiyori was eager to try. She didn't dare to touch it before Yuuki arrived. It would be terrible if something came out of it.

It doesn't look like a sealed object, so it shouldn't be dangerous.

Yuki thought about it for a while and was not as cautious as before, for fear of taking a wrong step.

"Stand back, let me touch it first and see if I can open it."

Hiyori was very obedient and immediately jumped to the other side of the hallway. Then she saw Yuuki draw his knife and slowly stretched out his left hand as if he was afraid of electric shock.

Half a meter, one foot, one inch.

His hand slowly approached, and the moment his fingertips touched the door, Hiyori, who had been reading in the distance, widened her eyes.

The door opened, no, to be more precise, it disappeared along with the door frame, turning into a slowly rotating purple-red vortex.

gorgeous.

It was as if a galaxy was unfolding before his eyes. This was Shiina Hiyori's first thought. He quickly shook his head and opened his mouth anxiously:

"Mr. Yuuki, run..."

Yuki didn't run, or rather, he bent his knees and was ready to run, but he was unable to move as if he was under a spell.

But he was not controlled because he heard a strange murmur in surprise:

[Player Yuki, do you want to go to the junction of reincarnation? ]

Chapter 4: The Border? Feilun? ?

Yuki had been confused many times today and actually developed some resistance.

His legs seemed to be welded to the floor, and the purple-red vortex that was so close to him occupied his entire field of vision, turning his blood-red eyes into a brilliant galaxy.

What the hell is this...

Yuki's first reaction was that it was too beautiful. Even an art idiot would be shocked by the magnificence. He felt as if he had become a god, standing in a higher dimension, overlooking the operation of the galaxy.

It is so beautiful that one forgets time. Just admiring this whirlpool can make one stand there until the end of time.

No, this thing is very similar to the one in the sky. There is a blurry badge in the middle, and judging from the shadow, it looks like some kind of plant.

Yuki bit his lip, using the pain to wake himself up, and quickly turned his attention back to the whispering.

[Player Yuki, do you want to go to the junction of reincarnation? ]

Coincidentally, He reminded it again.

Junction? Old Man Ring!?

No, once you enter the dungeon, you will disappear immediately. How can there be any choice for the player? It must be another place.

"Pig head, are you okay?"

A call came from behind, and Sakurajima Mai, Hayasaka Ai, and Shinomiya Kaguya all came, each holding a bow and a gun, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

"I'm fine. I'm not controlled or hypnotized." Yuki quickly took a few steps back. Looking at the gorgeous starry sky, he felt eager to try it out, but he quickly suppressed his curiosity with the method of hiding his curiosity.

"Hiyori, use the characteristics to read the details."

"I tried, and besides a blurry emblem in the middle, it looked like a vortex in the sky. I couldn't even read the galaxy. Just looking at it made my head swell and I felt like it was going to explode."

A girl's voice sounded somewhat painful. Yuki concentrated his attention and looked into the galaxy. Sure enough, his head felt dizzy, so he quickly looked away.

This thing can be appreciated but not read. Just by looking at it for a moment, an excessive amount of unknown information will flood into your mind, which is very similar to the feeling of unfolding the detailed panel when you first entered the Red Moon.

The human brain cannot process too much information. If you force yourself to read, the 'CPU' will be overloaded instantly.

But he saw the badge in the center of the vortex. It was blurry, somewhat like some kind of flower or plant, and its surface had been wiped away by something, leaving scratches.

What the hell is this?

No one could answer, Yuki just took note of the badge and decided not to continue his suicidal behavior.

He felt a little regretful. If he had known, he should have let Hiyori touch her first, so as to eliminate his own uniqueness. But it was too late to say anything now.

"Go and see if the same thing happens at the other doors."

"I'll go." Hayasaka turned around and walked across the street, coming back a minute later.

"Same thing. Then when I leave the hallway, the door will automatically close. And did you hear the whispering? It said it leads to some reincarnation junction?"

"I heard it. It seems that this thing should be harmless and it all leads to the same place."

With the reference object, Yuki felt much more at ease. Since the door would close automatically, there was no chance that anything would suddenly jump out.

Portal?

Yuki waved his hand, asked everyone to step back, and came to the front of the galaxy.

"Hey, do you want to try it?" Kaguya quickly called him.

"Are we just wasting our time here if we don't give it a try?" Yuki was determined and had already constructed a logical system based on what he saw and heard.

If each room is a team's base, then a tall building is enough to accommodate dozens of teams. The hall below is the passage, and through this door, they all go to the same place. Combined with the newly added points system...

"This place should be where players trade, but why do we have to do this?"

Yuki didn't understand, so he had to give it a try. Under everyone's nervous gaze, he took a decisive step forward. When his fingertips touched the whirlpool, he completely put his heart back into his stomach.

[Toll fee is 100 points, and every 24 hours spent at the border will cost 10 points]

[Player's city, points are 0, inaccessible]

No one in this world would pay to die, which indirectly confirms the guess.

"Come and try it, all of you." Yuki waved his hand, asking the alert Mai and others to come over, and then everyone touched it and found that it was really impossible to pass through, and the prompts were the same.

Ah, could it be that the outpost is just a relay point?

"100 points equals one enhancement point, but it can only be redeemed once per dungeon cycle." Hiyori was a little reluctant, but she knew what to do. "To be safe, I'll have to let Mr. Yuuki take a look."

"Then let me do the exchange." Mai said without hesitation, decisively exchanged the two enhancement points for 200 points, and then traded them to Yuuki.

Watching the number change from 0 to 200, Yuki touched it again, and sure enough, the prompt changed.

[Player Yuki, do you want to teleport? ]

Damn, a points recycling plan, right? Fortunately, enhancement points are not too difficult to obtain.

Yuki's eyes twitched, his desire to explore had reached its peak, he had to go.

"You guys keep looking around this city. I don't believe there aren't any clues."

"You should be careful too, you might meet other players." Mai felt that she had just said something nonsense, because it was inevitable that they would meet.

"Don't worry, judging from the situation at this outpost, there must be restrictions on where players meet, otherwise we would have been beaten to a pulp long ago." Yuki was very calm, he was always confident in every adventure he took.

Taking a deep breath, he finally answered the murmur.

"Teleport."

As soon as he finished speaking, without even a millisecond of delay, Yuuki disappeared from the spot in an instant. Mai and others, who were so fast, didn't even have time to react.

Yuuki just disappeared, and everyone looked at each other. Hayasaka Ai quickly went up to touch the whirlpool, and then she retreated with a sigh of relief.

"No problem. This door persists. The way it disappeared just now was very similar to joining a dungeon."

"Huh, as long as I can come back." Mai leaned her back against the wall. Yuki was the backbone of the family. If he was gone, how would she clean up this mess?

After calming herself down, she raised her head again and saw Shiina Hiyori staring blankly at the street outside.

"Hiyori-san?"

"Look." The girl raised her hand in surprise. Through the glass, she could see the gray street.

The 'snow' stopped.

......

Well, it's similar to the spatial trance feeling you get when entering a dungeon, but other than that there's nothing weird about it.

Yuki closed his eyes, carefully recalling the trance he had just experienced, and finally heard a chaotic sound in his ears.

There were sounds of talking, footsteps, the screams of some animals, and people arguing, but there was no explosion of energy collision.

Hearing brought him an initial feeling. When his eyes slowly opened, his scarlet pupils contracted instinctively, causing him to open his mouth slightly. In addition to being shocked, he was also filled with a sense of fanaticism.

That's right, this is what the next stage should look like.

It was as if a speck of dust was looking up at the sky, and in front of it was an indescribable city. No, the word "city" seemed pale and powerless, at least the earth's civilization could not create a similar word.

From Yuki's perspective, he seemed to be standing in the middle of a circular tunnel, with countless buildings extending into the distance and then arranged in a circular shape.

There are densely packed buildings of various shapes around me, and various buildings on both sides, which extend upwards to the sky.

Raising his neck, he could see the buildings above him hanging upside down like a mirror. The tall buildings looked like strings of stalactites, and in the middle was an 'ocean', a purple-red vortex that was even larger and deeper than the outpost. From a distance, it looked like a giant hanging lamp.

In addition to this miraculous architectural style, Yuki finally saw living creatures.

There were countless people wearing different clothes. With a quick glance, Yuki saw some wearing flowing robes, some wearing similar clothes to himself, and some were simply mechanical skeletons. They walked along the long street, ignoring himself who was peeking in the middle of the road like a country bumpkin.

They are players, all of them are players.

Yuki felt a surge of anxiety for a moment. All the players he had ever seen, added together, were less than one thousandth of what he had seen at this glance. He even saw players on the "walls" and above his head, walking upside down in the sky.

From time to time, some people appear out of thin air, and some disappear out of thin air. The flickering light caused by the movement of space looks like stars.

Yuki realized that his cultural level was insufficient. Faced with such a scene, only one word could express his feelings:

Grass.

Burning with enthusiasm and ambition, Yuki finally understood why Adam was trying so hard to climb up.

There is endless knowledge, infinite unknowns, and infinite power here.

After joining the reincarnation game for so long, players are no longer normal people. The continuous tasks are dangerous and monotonous, because the only things that change are the content and difficulty, and there is no essential difference.

The first task feels novel, the fifth task gives people a sense of pleasure in accumulating strength, so what about the tenth and twentieth?

The reincarnation game never tells you how to quit. Even the most determined person will become numb. Only by stepping onto a new level and seeing a greater scenery can one rekindle the will to fight.

I still can't quit, and I still can't see the end, but as long as the scenery along the way is wonderful enough, people can ignore the ending.

[Player Yuki, welcome to the junction of reincarnation]

[Hint 1: This is where players exchange information and trade items. 24 points are consumed every 20 hours.]

[2: Except for specific locations, players are not allowed to attack each other. Violators will be killed.]

【3: Please abide by the contract, otherwise you will be punished】

The murmur was engraved into his memory, waking Yuuki from his philosophical contemplation. He ignored the grandeur of the future and, at least at this moment, looked confused.

Who am I? What do I want to do?

Yuki turned his head and looked around, and found that he was surrounded by players, completely out of touch with reality. He didn't know if the interpersonal communication he had learned on Earth was useful, because some of them didn't look like human beings.

Judging from intuition, the players on this road are very strong, but there are not many who can really make him feel oppressed. Yuki does not have combat power judgment glasses, but not all players on the road are hiding their strength.

Compared to the empty outpost, this is the real ascension, why does it feel to me like there aren't supernatural beings everywhere and monsters are worse than dogs?

At first glance, it's less cliché and only provides more questions.

Snapped.

Just as he was thinking, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. Yuki was so startled that he almost drew his sword. When he turned his head, he saw a figure with a mechanical head behind him.

It was wearing a suit of armor covered with pipes and nozzles, which looked very sci-fi. Its reddish electronic eyes reflected its own surprised expression.

"Sir, is this your first time at the Junction?"

An electronic synthesized voice came, which was completely different from the forty Earth languages ​​that Yuki was familiar with, but just like when he first entered under the red moon, he could understand it without any barriers.

Yuki stood still, still looking dazed, his electronic eyes shrinking slightly, revealing human emotions.

"It seems so. I have all kinds of information here, from the most basic to the advanced. With just a few points, there are hundreds of chaos items for you to choose from."

The mechanical synthesized voice has no intonation, but the machine is the most fair and stubborn, making it a good partner.
