You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"It's started? The time hasn't changed at all." Mai came hurriedly. She had already shared the task prompt.

"It seems this is just a basic setting. The reincarnation game won't let players have too much time to breathe." Yuuki didn't seem surprised at all. He put the teacup back on the table and said with a smile, "I think we should enter the dungeon together this time."

"Yes, we used to meet up in the dungeon." Mai nodded gently, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the water stains on the table. "There's still an hour left. What preparations do we need to make?"

This question stumped Yuki. What preparations should he make?

There is no need to purchase supplies, all items can be exchanged from the space. I just silently recited the name of the copy several times.

The world is plagued by insects, insects?

"Hiyori, exchange some insecticide. Let's see if it can be used. We need to test whether the things in here can be taken away."

"No, I tried, but I can't put it into the storage space." Hayasaka Ai replied. She exchanged a lot of coffee beans and was waiting to pack them up and take them away.

That's it.

Yuki looked disappointed. In a sense, this world was even worse than the real world. Could it be that this place was really the embodiment of fantasy?

"Put it on your body and continue the experiment."

"Okay, Mr. Yuki." Hiyori immediately exchanged a few bottles of insecticide and put them into her shoulder bag.

It doesn’t matter whether or not we can take away supplies. Given everyone’s physical strength, it doesn’t matter if we don’t eat, drink or sleep for half a month.

It really is the right thing to do to improve your physical fitness to the extraordinary level first.

Yuki was somewhat impressed by his own foresight. He looked around and saw that everyone was quite nervous.

The first time I entered a dungeon in a new stage, I was so nervous that I wanted to vomit.

"Kaguya, go make some more tea. Hiyori, take out the code book so everyone can memorize the code words while we have the last bit of time. Hayasaka, give me the Fool's Mask."

Yuki gave orders one after another, and the entire team immediately started running like clockwork.

Kaguya held the teapot and filled the exquisite black tea cups one by one. Drinking tea at this time can help calm the mood.

Rihe spread out a thick book and took out the secret codes to distribute to everyone. In addition to slacking off and reading books, she has been compiling a simple code book these days.

The Reincarnation game comes with translation software, and the Spirit Communicator is not very secure. Who knows if there are players who specialize in eavesdropping, so try not to use it casually.

Yuki put on a fool's mask in case of emergency.

Time passed by minute by minute, and when it came to actually doing the work, no one was as nervous as before. Come to think of it, being nervous wouldn't solve any problems, and they had already done their utmost in preparation.

After drinking a belly of black tea, with his mouth full of tea flavor, Yuki closed the code book and stuffed it into the storage space.

"That's about it. We have five more minutes before we can move freely. Stay calm. I'm here, so everything will be fine."

The problem is so big just because you are here.

Kaguya murmured quietly, the bloody disaster had tortured her terribly. She put down the tea set and saw that everyone was quite calm.

Senior Mai was groping in mid-air, sorting the things in the storage space into categories.

Hayasaka Ai had a stern expression and did not change out of her maid uniform. She only wore props such as the Death Knell, Storm Blade, and Flying Boots.

Hiyori sat down on the sofa, took out a novel and read it with relish.

Am I too nervous?

Kaguya felt a little embarrassed, so she simply put away the tea set and went to the kitchen, where she began to wash the tea set gently and with a sense of ritual.

They were calm and composed, and everyone looked like experienced players.

Yuki gently wiped the long sword with a handkerchief, and the mirror-like blade reflected his face. To be honest, he was the most nervous because those unknowns were directed at him, and his relationship with the reincarnation game had reached a fever pitch.

He wants me to die, and I don't want to die.

The relationship is that simple.

【One minute】

A death-like countdown sounded, but Yuki remained calm, raising his sword and turning it to examine it carefully.

Well, it's fast and bright.

【three】

【two】

【One】

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked up. They saw a bright flash of a knife. The man put the long knife into the sheath and stepped into the void.

"Set off."

......

The moment Yuki and the others left, multiple ripples appeared in the space of the outpost.

In another pure white space, an invisible hand was outlining several human figures.

Hu Hu Hu.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka lay on the ground, sweat dripping down and quickly gathering into a puddle. The space was neither cold nor hot, and the only thing that could make him lose his composure was his almost collapsed spirit.

"This epic mission is not on the same level. I've been preparing for so long, trying every possible means, and yet so many people have died?"

Covering his face, his pupils trembled between his fingers. The boy had already discovered the problem.

That’s right, it’s a unified assessment. It’s like a group of poor students who have delayed graduation. No matter which grade they belong to, as long as they meet the assessment standards, they will all be arranged to take exams.

Starting from the Lone Ranger in Super I, he encountered 20 groups of players in the previous copy, which was a terrifying scale.

Of course, this is definitely not all the players on Earth who meet the criteria, but based on this broadness, there should be several examination rooms arranged at the same time.

"With Zhang Jin's help, I almost united all the players, but we were almost wiped out by an extremely powerful plot monster?"

Ayanokouji covered his head, which had been completely healed physically but was trembling with pain mentally, and slowly looked around.

Arisu Sakayanagi, Sho Ryuen, Suzune Horikita, Kōhei Katsuragi, and Saeda Chabashi were all lying on the ground. If they hadn't been breathing, one would have thought they were a pile of corpses.

In the shadow world, those translucent, ghost-like monsters are too terrifying. If players are not careful, they will be killed or dragged into the gray mist. Even if dozens of players gather together, they cannot fight against the King of Shadows.

He can even enter the inner world of the player. The more mature he is and the more complicated his life experience is, the easier it is for him to lose control and eventually turn into a shadow puppet to attack his companions.

Fortunately, I successfully triggered a low-probability event, allowing everyone to leave the dungeon early.

"Everyone, get up. It's not time to sleep yet. Spread out and see what this pure white space is."

"Ayanokōji, we just escaped death, can't you let everyone rest for a while?" Ryuuen Sho turned over and felt like the floor was sticking to him, and he couldn't get up at all.

After six days of fighting all the time, he just wanted to have a good sleep.

"There are plenty of ways to sleep forever in the reincarnation game. Hurry up and get up and take a look. This place is different from what I imagined."

Ayanokouji had the same idea as Yuuki. This "ascension" didn't feel right. He even brought a lot of Earth's "specialties" to honor his seniors, but in the end, he didn't see a single person.

Forced by him, everyone just had to slowly stand up, explore the surroundings very professionally, and soon, they brought back the answer.

The pure white space was not big, about three or four hundred square meters, which was more than enough to accommodate them. There was nothing unusual, only a wooden door leading to the outside world.

"I've checked. This door doesn't have any traps. The material it's made of can't be analyzed. Even the strongest attack can't cause any damage."

Horikita Suzune specializes in traceology and is the human radar of the team.

"It's somewhat similar to the 'Anywhere Door' we encountered earlier." Sakayanagi Arisu analyzed the situation from the side, pausing before saying, "It's no use being stuck here. We have to get out."

"I know, but I don't know what kind of scary things are waiting outside." Ayanokouji was not as timid as Yuki. After hesitating for a moment, he strode forward and carefully turned the brass handle.

Click.

The door unlocked, he turned his head and nodded slightly to the fully armed Arisu Sakayanagi and others, then suddenly opened the door and stuck half of his head out.

A plain corridor appeared before my eyes, with wall lamps emitting bright light.

hotel?

Just like Yuki at the beginning, the boy was also stunned. He had also imagined many scenes, but had never thought of this moment.

But he had better luck than Yuki. With the click of the door lock, the door diagonally opposite opened, revealing a familiar head.

Kitahara Iori blinked and saw his teammates from the dungeon. As a simple-minded person, he did not have much fantasy about "ascension".

Do all those coming from Earth have to be quarantined first? Wait, who's that person on the left wearing a gas mask? They're not players from the Shadow World.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made many assumptions in an instant, and before he even left the room, a familiar whispering voice rang in his head.

[Player Grim, welcome to the outpost]

[Your camp is Thorn Rose]

You receive the following prompt:

[1. The outpost is a place where players from different worlds can settle down. All players belong to the same faction.]

[2. Chaos items, extraordinary skills, and mutual attacks are not allowed in this outpost.]

[3. The road ahead has been opened, and you can go to the junction through the lobby]

[4. Private space activated, players can redeem related items]

[5. Unlocking the points system, updating permissions, and updating glossaries]

[6. Players can seek explanations for terms such as 'world', 'faction', 'outpost', 'border', 'points', and 'pioneer']

......

This was perhaps the most lengthy prompt since the game was added, and all players who opened the door had the same look on their faces, overwhelmed by the terrifying amount of information.

After a dozen or so prompts were given, they all looked up at each other and closed the door together.

During the day, no one is allowed to go out and stroll around. Everyone has to brainstorm and study the settings carefully.

Chapter 2: Universal Insect Plague

When the bigwigs from all sides of the Earth went to the outpost and began to conduct careful research, Yuki left first.

He didn't know that the outpost had become lively, and he didn't care about what was happening there. He was concentrating on completing the dungeon.

buzzing...

Mechanical sound?

Without opening his eyes, Yuki heard a strange sound and at the same time felt his body become lighter, with a slight sense of weightlessness.

When I opened my eyes, bright light shone into them, causing my pupils to shrink slightly. I raised my head slightly and saw the yellow and white light strips and the steel ceiling.

This is not like Earth's architecture.

Everything around was gray and made of steel. I felt like I was locked in an iron box, but it didn't feel like a prison cell.

There is a row of dark red chairs on both sides of the wall, on which Mai Sakurajima, Ai Hayasaka, Hiyori Shiina, Kaguya Shinomiya and others are sitting neatly.

Everyone looked at each other, all a little confused. First of all, the environment was very unfamiliar. Even in the blood disaster, it was just a normal lounge. Secondly, this was the first time everyone was in the same room after entering the dungeon.

According to the previous routine, players will be separated, reunite before the game starts, and then listen to the task prompts and officially start the game.

This is also a kind of elimination mechanism. Players who react too slowly or are too timid will be eliminated before the game starts.

But this time is different. Why are they together at the beginning? And this room looks weird.

There is an embedded light strip above the head, and the walls are light, with a crisp sound like steel. There are many buttons on the wall, which looks quite technological.

Without Yuuki saying anything, Hiyori had already started 'reality reading', taking in the entire room and feeling it in detail.

"Wait, we're on a ship."

"Hey, it does feel like it's moving, and it feels like something's weird."

Hiyori didn't answer and walked quickly to the other end of the room, where there were densely packed buttons and a holographic screen. She slowly scanned them and lightly pressed one of the buttons.

woo-

Along with the sound of the motor turning, a steel plate on the left wall slowly rose, revealing the glass porthole at the back. Hayasaka Ai, who was sitting next to her, turned her head and opened her mouth wide.

She saw the dark starry sky, and below it, a pale green planet was emitting a faint glow.

"We're in space."

"what?"

Everyone, including Yuki, rushed over and looked out the porthole, speechless.

This was a scene that only appeared in movies. They had never dreamed that they could overlook a planet. Some people even rubbed their eyes to make sure that this was not a holographic projection.
