You tell me, this is called daily youth?

He actually died in the copy?

Even though he had already calculated Yuki's chances of survival, the boy still felt an incredible sense of daze.

Almost a week had passed, surpassing 80% of the dungeon time, and I received a message from Mr. Ye:

In a very difficult story mission, the dungeon world was destroyed and only one player successfully returned.

This was undoubtedly a big deal. With Ayanokouji's intelligence network, copies would occasionally be destroyed, but being directly destroyed by an existence that surpassed the copies was something they had never imagined.

Such an existence usually lives in the background story. For example, indirect intervention in Yaduo Town is already the limit. If He can take action personally, what is the reason for setting up a copy?

Send players to the slaughterhouse as sacrifices?

"I've found out. The source of the information is Zhang the Twin Spear." Sakayanagi Arisu approached on crutches, a document tucked under his arm. "He said the existence that destroyed the dungeon is called the 'Blood God,' and he only returned during the countdown. I have a feeling he's a bit of a boast."

"Mr. Zhang is a friend of Mr. Ye. He is not a person who likes to exaggerate." Ayanokouji took the document and glanced at it quickly. His expression changed from thoughtful to excited, and finally full of regret.

"It was him. He really died in the dungeon."

"A young man is with several girls, and that's how you make that conclusion?"

"How is that possible? It's a fighting style. What powerful player would hold a long knife in one hand and a hunting rifle in the other." A ball of dark flame emanated from Ayanokouji's fingertips, burning the white paper into ashes that scattered in the wind.

It’s neither sadness nor happiness. Yuki can barely be considered a friend and an important partner.

"Can't you think positively? For example, he entered the next stage early or something. Didn't you say he was special?" Sakayanagi shook his fingers.

"Sakayanagi-san, your way of comforting others is too low-class. When you enter the next stage, all traces of your existence will be erased. Since I still remember him now, it proves that he is either dead or he has returned."

I know how come you have no sense of humor at all? You think I'm talking too much and shouldn't pay attention to you.

Arisu Sakayanagi rolled his eyes, and before he could say anything more, he saw the boy beside the guardrail startled.

what happened again?

She was about to speak when she froze herself because the whispering sounded in her mind.

[Player Zhihu, prepare to enter the epic quest - Shadow World]

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

【One-hour preparation countdown begins. 】

It was so sudden, leaving her completely unprepared. Sakayanagi quickly checked her player panel. The extraordinary skill called 'Procrastination' was still active.

Forced assignment?

When he raised his head, he met Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's slightly changed gaze, and immediately realized that this was not a special treatment he was entitled to.

"We're finally here. Don't panic. Let's proceed as planned and call everyone along." Ayanokouji held down his hands, maintaining his composure, and stopped the girl just as she turned around and hurried away.

"Sakayanagi."

"Ok?"

Looking at his partner who walked briskly while using a cane that was just a decoration, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka moved his lips, not knowing what to say, so he just waved his hand and told Sakayanagi to hurry up and get ready.

He was suddenly the only one left on the rooftop. Ayanokouji's eyes flickered as he glanced at the scraps of paper being blown away by the autumn wind.

As soon as you die, an epic quest begins.

Isn't this a little too coincidental?

......

Why isn't there a 'Transcendent' restriction? Could this also be a difference between the various factions?

Yuki walked down the street, looking at the buildings on both sides from time to time.

Five copy qualifications, extraordinary comprehensive evaluation, this is the information told by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he has no reason to deceive himself, but this does not match the information of Philen.

Philen said that after three copies and a difficult task, you can enter the outpost, accumulate some points, and then reach the border through some ether crystal.

"Puff Mushroom is an honest child, and his personality is not much different from what I remember. He has no reason to lie to me. And from the elf waiters, I can confirm that they are at most extraordinary level."

Is it a requirement for different camps?

There aren't even people with super powers in my world. The three copies can only give you a taste of the extraordinary. It would be dangerous to progress too quickly.

It's really differential treatment, but when did the reincarnation game become so kind?

"You really don't have any special characteristics?" Yuki couldn't help but ask.

"As I said, each faction has slight differences. You can think of them as racial talents. I don't understand what you mean by 'characteristics'." Philen walked ahead and suddenly stopped.

"And how long will you follow me? Even though it's just some basic knowledge, it should be enough to equal the points for that cup of fruit tea."

"It's indeed very basic, but it means a lot to me." Yuki said with a serious face.

"so?"

"So I want to repay you, but unfortunately I don't have many points now, so I have no choice but to follow you."

Philen was stunned, looked carefully at the serious man in front of him, and slowly covered his head.

What kind of repayment? It's obvious that he just treats me as a guide so that he can explore this border area.

"He's a real talent to be able to talk nonsense so shamelessly and seriously. Aren't you afraid I'll sell him out?"

Philen didn't understand where this man got his self-confidence from, but he had to admit that the other party knew him very well. They were neither friends nor enemies, so there was no need to do such a meaningless thing.

"what's your name?"

"Li Dan." Yuki put on the vest without hesitation.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll be your tour guide and charge you by the hour. Let me make it clear in advance that I've just arrived at the border area and don't know many of the secrets." Philen was too lazy to struggle and didn't expect Yuki to really pay. Anyway, the things involved weren't confidential, so he might as well just do a good deed.

What I'm waiting for is your words.

Yuki chuckled secretly, but nodded seriously: "I owe you a favor, don't worry, I won't default on it."

Favor?

Philen shook his head, thinking that this man was too narcissistic.

What is the use of your favor?

Chapter 4: The Treasure's Lair (K)

Not only is it useless, but I'm also a poor guy. It hurts so much to spend 5 points on fruit tea.

Philen remembered the other person's previous expression, and gently did not expose it. He made a gesture of invitation and walked ahead.

The intersection was extremely prosperous. The two walked side by side on the wide street, chatting occasionally. However, after a few minutes, Philen began to regret his decision.

There are too many problems in Yucheng, and they are too complicated, ranging from the distribution of border areas, to the ownership of shops on both sides, and even the economic issues of point flow, which made Philen depressed in the end.

I'm just a magic apprentice, how would I know what 'the player's benefit ratio between gaining and consuming points' is.

She just thought that this person was very smart. Unlike other players who came to the border area and only cared about utilitarian topics such as where there was a chaos item trading market and which players should not be provoked.

This Mr. Li pays more attention to details, as if he wants to figure out the operating rules of the border area.

"Interesting, there actually is a krypton gold flow."

Yuki started with casual chatting and really got into the reincarnation game.

He was puzzled when they were drinking tea before. Such a stable way of obtaining points would surely lead to a bloody fight. But it turned out that he thought it was too simple.

Every building in the border area is created by the player himself, but the ownership of the land comes from special mission rewards and will be reclaimed when the player dies.

It is indeed the real estate of the origin of all things. This kind of special reward must be difficult to obtain, and it is enough to make players kill each other and bleed into a river.

Do you think that after finally acquiring ownership, you can earn a fortune and reach the top by redeeming points? That's too simplistic.

This is just the beginning. Ownership itself will consume points, and as the point flow increases, the amount consumed will become larger and larger. Add to that the stay fees of hired players, and it is a huge expense.

"Property tax and business tax are really harsh. The reincarnation game really opens a window for you, but then welds a door shut. As for whether you can break through, it all depends on luck and strength."

It still has the familiar taste. Every path in the reincarnation game can lead to the peak, and the simpler it looks, the more pitfalls there are on the ground.

These points can become negative, and ownership cannot be transferred or given away. Besides, don't forget, this has never been a business game.

Even if you have genius organizational skills and business acumen, you're doomed to die in a dungeon.

If you really want to go the krypton gold route, you must have something unique, such as the teahouse where elves gathered before. That means you have maxed out the botany technology tree and have some consumable items that can be used for a long time.

No wonder most buildings have their doors and windows tightly closed. Doing business without anything in hand is tantamount to seeking death. Moreover, players in border areas cannot attack each other, and forced buying and selling is useless.

"This krypton gold flow is not easy to follow. Even if all the conditions are met, it is still difficult to break through simply by relying on points."

Chaos items have side effects, and you can easily kill yourself if you are not careful; improving extraordinary skills and physical fitness requires creating epics, and this special achievement can obviously only be completed in a dungeon.

"The border is a trap. If you become obsessed with it, you'll only be stuck at the 'monster' level, never able to move on to the next level."

As Yuki thought about it, he looked around and saw a lot of strange things.

For example, the 'Elysium Realm' is run by a player from a certain spiritual camp. As long as enough points are paid, the vast spiritual realm can create all kinds of illusions and fill any empty mind.

If players don't like playing virtual things, they can go to the "Bionic World". They can perfectly reproduce the people in the deepest part of your memory and the people you desire most, no matter if they are men, women, lovers or enemies, you can vent your desires on them.

If you think the desire to vent is too low-level, the most important thing in the reincarnation game is survival.

There is the 'Universe Battlefield', where you can build battlefields of different difficulty levels using a special prop, from the simplest single-player arena to complex and brain-burning simulation tasks. As long as you pay points, you can gain the most valuable experience.

There is also the "Hundred Eyes of True Knowledge", which claims that if you give enough points, it can even tell you the color of the god's underwear.

......

Yuki was dazzled by what he saw. It couldn’t be said that they were all from the entertainment industry, but they were definitely there to drain all the players’ points.

No one knows how many years the Samsara Junction has existed and how many rounds of changes it has gone through, but there are only a few things that can make players pay points.

For example, the neighborhood that Yuuki was following Philen to was known as the largest Chaos Item trading location in the area.

"Right here?" Yuki stopped and saw a huge oval building. It was somewhat similar to the death arena in Bloody Disaster, which almost made him suffer from PTSD.

"Well, it has many names. I usually call it 'the treasure's nest.'" Feilun answered quietly. This was the reason she came to the borderland.

Cashing in the Chaos Items collected in the previous dungeon can be done in the outpost, but our faction is eligible to go to the border area, so why not go to a wider market?

"Countless worlds, countless players, and infinite props. As long as you put in some effort, you will definitely find what you want."

The girl's mumbling like reciting poetry was heard. Yuki raised his head. He could not see the top of the outer wall at a glance. Humans seemed extremely small under this giant building that was about a hundred meters high.

It's so big that it's terrifying.

Yuki lowered his head and saw hundreds of densely packed entrances, with players in various clothing walking into the passages.

"Which force does this nest belong to?" Yuki's scalp tingled when he saw this man.

"It doesn't belong to a single faction. There are many trading places like this throughout the border area." Philen lined up and walked towards the entrance, then remembered something: "We will separate later and meet here in two hours. I'll wait for you for five minutes."

"Wait a minute..." Yuki just raised his hand, and Philen had already stepped into the passage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

You don't want to get rid of me, right? Where can I find you among so many people?

Yuuki scratched his face. He had no way to bind the Puff Shroom, so it was already good enough to find a "warm-hearted" player to lead the way.

"At worst, I can just wait for someone I know and repeat the same trick. I don't think there will be any clichéd auction tricks here."

He looked at the huge building again and followed a lizard-headed player into the passage.

The moment I stepped in, the trance-like feeling of a random copy came back. I closed my eyes instinctively, and when I opened them, my pupils shrank slightly.

What kind of trading place is this?

His complaints just now were completely meaningless. He found himself standing above a starry sky. Looking left and right, there was no one in sight. It was all pitch black like night.

Yuki stood there alone, almost thinking that he was ambushed, but when he looked down, he saw twinkling stars. When he concentrated a little, he saw that each star looked like a tombstone.

Welcome to the trading platform. You can name it whatever you want. It only costs one point per hour.

The trading platform guarantees absolute privacy, security, and efficiency, and has both buying and selling functions.

Ouroboros assures you that there are no middlemen to profit from the price difference, and we will accompany you to travel freely in the world of reincarnation.

A murmur sounded in the starry sky. Yuki listened for a while and then realized that the murmur was imitating the prompt sound. Whenever a player heard this sound, he would immediately become serious.

Ouroboros, it should be some kind of formidable organization. 1 point per hour, you are even more evil than the reincarnation game.

Yuki took note of the name. This trading venue could accommodate thousands of players' transactions at the same time. It was terrifying to think about it.

He found that his imagination was too poor. At first he thought he was sitting on the stairs waiting for the auction, or walking past thousands of stalls like shopping.

How could it be so low-level? Staying at the border is just burning points, so the higher the efficiency, the better.
