You tell me, this is called daily youth?

They were indeed on a ship, but the ship was sailing among the stars. Even though coming to the reincarnation game was already dreamy enough, the copies they had experienced before were not so exaggerated.

It's either a small town or a hospital. The largest one is Master of the Sea, which can be estimated to be the size of the Caribbean Sea.

But now there is a planet right under their feet, and the jumping range is too large.

"It seems that the reincarnation game is really a little different." Yuki felt his breathing tighten. Even he had never prepared for a space battle. The number of people that America could send to the moon was already the limit of human imagination.

"Have we arrived at some high-tech civilization?" Mai was also a little confused. She had appeared in a space TV series, but it was all special effects.

"That's a huge leap. We're just a bunch of high school students doing homework. How could we possibly be in space?"

"It must be high technology. We didn't even float in space."

"That planet is so beautiful, like an emerald."

There was a buzz of discussion, as if a group of ancient people had suddenly arrived in a modern city, full of curiosity about everything around them.

Yuki was knowledgeable and was the first to calm down, quickly clapping his hands.

"Everyone, be quiet. It's just space, isn't it? Nothing we've experienced is more incredible than what we've experienced here. Astronauts can look down at Earth. Can they see demons, devils, or blood gods?"

Yuki has a good point, and yes, similar scenes have been seen in movies, but witnessing a giant sword falling from the bloody sky and destroying a city is something that no movie can show.

"Hey, he's right. Overlooking a planet is nothing special. We can do it on Earth for a few billion yen." Kaguya felt a little embarrassed and immediately turned around and sat down. "Just treat it as a dungeon special effect. The key is to complete the mission."

"Yes, we have had an encounter with God. Perhaps the one outside the window is just an illusion that is disturbing us. The duplicate happened on this ship."

"No, senior, we are approaching that planet." Hiyori's eyes were gleaming, she was still in her characteristic state.

"What, this isn't a game sticker?"

"Alright, alright, focus on the task at hand. There are so many incredible things to come," Yuuki spoke again, even as he kept peeking out the window.

Starting a mission on a starship was unheard of, but that didn't matter.

"We'll be together from the start. This might be a requirement of the 'faction mission,'" he reluctantly explained, looking up and asking, "Hiyori, is there a door-opening button on that control panel?"

"Yes, and it says this is 'Landing Module No. 15'." Hiyori answered, and found that this was definitely not Earth language, but fortunately she could understand it.

Landing capsule? Sure enough, the stage is on that Emerald Planet.

Yuki breathed a sigh of relief. It was important to find out the location of the mission, but he was a little confused.

Why not just show up on the planet? Why in space just to shock us country bumpkins?

Yuki didn't quite understand, but he knew that the reincarnation game was not that boring. Just as he had thought just now, the content of the game was really a little different.

He looked towards the other end of the landing field, where there was the outline of a gate, and his heart moved.

"Hiyori, can you open the door?"

"There's a countdown on it, and it's still green right now, so it should be OK."

If the door can be opened, then there are players from other camps outside?

He was a little eager to try. He had already seen other factions at the border, so he wasn't too curious. He just deduced from the layout of the game:

The same faction is in the same landing capsule, so can I do the opposite?

Judging from the situation at the outpost, for some reason, I am not in the same camp as my senior classmates. By taking advantage of this, it seems that I can seize the initiative.

One is to verify the conjecture of "nothing", and the other is to lay the groundwork before the game is officially launched.

A few people first studied whether the contract props were usable, and after confirming it, they handed the bamboo slips of the "Temple Contract" to Yuki.

"Everyone, check if the spirit communicator is working."

"Yuuki, do you want to act alone?" Mai knew this idiot too well and immediately asked back.

"It's one bright and one dark. Do you remember our previous analysis?"

Of course, everyone remembers the discussion about "camps", which was like deliberately dividing the identities of players and creating points of conflict.

It’s not a melee for all, but it definitely emphasizes identity more than previous copies. People in the same camp are not necessarily friends, but people in different camps are definitely enemies.

"You mean to use that secret to strategically deceive other players?" Hiyori was the fastest to react, thinking that Yuuki was such a scoundrel, taking advantage of the bug.

It is difficult for different camps to trust each other, but they can definitely trust each other. No wonder they need a code book and even think about being eavesdropped by the enemy.

"That's just one of the reasons. If I were alone, I could verify the team formation issue and see if we could overcome the barriers between factions."

If it is true, this is the most buggy part. He also prepared a golden pen to conceal his identity.

Yuki thought for a moment and smiled, "If that doesn't work, it would be easier for me to silence you without you around."

Hiss, I forgot that Mr. Yuki is so cruel.

Hiyori quietly retreated a little. She no longer had any doubts. Besides, doing so could ensure the safety of the four of them. No matter how powerful a wise man was, he could not have expected that a player from another camp would jump out to help.

And this kind of mistake will be fatal.

[All players, prepare to enter the landing capsule. The 30-minute countdown begins.]

The prompt sounded suddenly, which indirectly proved that the landing capsule could leave, and thirty minutes was too long.

"Does this leave time for players to communicate with each other or explore the spaceship?" Hayasaka Ai immediately raised her eyebrows. This game has left options for players from the very beginning.

They were 'born' inside the landing capsule, and there was obviously no requirement for them to meet up before the game started, which meant that every player had ample time to prepare.

Yuki didn't answer, but his old pervert radar turned on, and he suddenly realized that some players would play similar tricks.

But they were just acting, and no matter how realistic it was, they couldn't escape the setting of the reincarnation game.

"You guys just stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

The communication was normal, so Yuki no longer waited and nodded slightly to Hiyori at the door, who immediately pressed the button.

beep.

The electronic alarm sounded, several door locks were unlocked, and the iron door about a finger thick slowly rose up. Yuki smiled at the worried senior sister and looked ahead.

He saw a steel corridor outside the door. There was no one in sight and no sound could be heard.

"Hiyori, close the door and don't interact with other players. If I'm wrong, I'll be right back."

Yuki decisively left the landing capsule. When he heard the door close, he didn't even look back.

Because he had just arrived and the "primitive man" had never seen such a high-end scene, he had wasted too much time analyzing the current situation. Yuki walked hurriedly, his eyes moving back and forth.

He didn't waste time analyzing the steel corridor, the bright light strips, and the unknown patterns on the wall, as he memorized them all in his mind.

After walking a hundred meters, the door at the end of the corridor opened automatically, and the view suddenly became clear.

It was a huge space, which looked like an aircraft hangar, about twenty meters high, and divided into five floors by corridors and stairs. There were ten doors on the wall of each floor, some of which were open and some were closed.

Yuki glanced at the doors and saw numbers painted on them. The one on his left had '14' painted on it.

There are so many landing capsules.

There are probably hundreds of them. Looking closely, No. 15 is flashing red fluorescence, while No. 27 opposite is green. It is clear that not every one of these landing capsules has players.

But at the same time as the vision came, there was also a noisy sound, which sounded like someone was confronting someone.

Yuuki frowned, quietly slipped out the door, and peeked from behind the guardrail—

Grass!

A red plasma ball came towards him, brushed past his hair when he retracted his head, and then exploded above his head with a bang.

The entire hangar was shaking slightly, and a large amount of molten steel was dripping, leaving Yuki, who was leaning against the wall, with a confused look on his face.

The prompt hasn't been delivered yet, the game hasn't even started, and the war has already begun?!

Chapter 5 Levi and Johnny Silverhand (K)

Boom——

The ceiling of the hangar began to melt, molten steel bursting out overhead, while Yuuki, lying on the ground, looked puzzled.

Past experience seemed to have lost its value. In the four dungeons experienced, veteran players would gather first, and direct fighting had never occurred.

Is it a dungeon monster or a player?

Yuki didn't know, he just listened attentively amidst the chaotic noise.

"Damn it! I finally got a faction mission that could have yielded some good rewards, but the Mechanical Believers went crazy again."

"It's because they have a grudge against the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' that they'll be restricted once the game starts."

"You come to trick us because you have a grudge against us?"

"Damn it! From now on, I'll kill every mechanical believer I see."

"Terminate the exploration spacecraft and return to the landing module immediately."

Some people were cursing, some were running away, and Yuki had received important information:

This is a battle between players, where two feuding factions go to war before the game begins.

That person was right. No one knew what restrictions the reincarnation game would set, forcing the two camps to stand on the same front with their noses pinched.

Yes, in the past, veteran players could also start a fight the first time they met, but for the sake of survival, everyone would generally choose to wait.

"The hatred between these factions is greater than I imagined. Enemies are so jealous of each other that they've lost their minds."

Yuki hasn't forgotten that they are on a spaceship. Aren't they afraid of blowing up the spaceship and turning all the players into floating space junk?

I looked up and found that the other party was really not afraid. Apart from melting a big hole in the hangar ceiling, the spaceship was fine.

Most players prioritized saving their lives, and no one would join the battle. Yuuki stuck his head over the railing and his breathing stopped.

Players, lots of players.

Some were wearing Western fantasy style armor, and some were wearing uniform white combat uniforms. In any case, none of them should have appeared in this spaceship. At a glance, there were at least dozens of people, and almost all of them were in groups.

They rushed out from the other end of the hangar, obviously having just gone to explore the spacecraft, and were pouring into the passage leading to the landing module. The indicator light turned red.

There were too many people, and Yuki couldn't see if there were any familiar people inside, so he quickly stretched his head to look down.

There were indeed more than a dozen people confronting each other under the hangar. This time he watched more carefully and saw the problem at a glance.

Among the five people on the left, one man and two women look very familiar. The man is wearing sunglasses and armor, and his silver left hand is extremely conspicuous; behind him is a little girl with green twin ponytails, holding a huge high-tech gun.

Holy shit, Johnny Silverhand? Was the girl with the green twintails called Rebecca or Rebecca?

These two are characters in Cyberpunk 2077. Next to them are some players who look very punk, with all kinds of prosthetic limbs all over their bodies. Then there is a very handsome blue-haired boy, whose style is quite different from his companions.

Oh my god, where is Aslan Zara's Gundam?

That’s right, this is the ‘Mechanical Believer’. Looking at the other side, ‘Night Parade of a Hundred Demons’ is more worthy of the name.

They exude strong negative energy and are translucent ghosts, with the leading ones attracting a lot of attention.

A young man with short red hair and tattoos all over his body. Yuki forgot which upper rank he was, but he was definitely a demon from "Demon Slayer"; next to him was a young man with long gray-blue hair, stitches all over his body, and a smile on his face. This one was more familiar.

A real person, a special-grade cursed spirit. As I recall, his ability seemed to be to sew together souls.

Yuki held his breath. They were all "acquaintances", but the situation was completely different from before. They all had combat capabilities.

The two sides seemed to be exchanging verbal attacks, which could not be heard clearly due to the distance. After a few minutes of confrontation, the Hundred Demons Night Parade was the first to lose patience.

soon.

The figure of the red-haired boy became blurred in the retina, and he rushed forward in an instant with extraordinary speed, but Johnny Silverhand raised his left arm and released a blue force field.

Like beans being scattered and soldiers appearing, these granulations expanded rapidly and grew into a pile of twisted monsters. Then, before they could run a few meters, they were swept down by a barrage of bullets.

The young man was blocked on the outside and was punching the force field again and again. The real person smiled and spread his hands, spreading a piece of flesh bud.

"Hahahaha, just relying on this garbage of yours."

Rebecca's wild laughter reached Yuki's ears. An illusory crosshair appeared in his right eye. The guns in his hands disassembled and reassembled. The six barrels kept spraying flames, smashing the hangar wall into dense round pits.

Cursed energy, fighting spirit, stray bullets, and lasers were flying everywhere, and even Yuki, who was secretly watching the battle, had to dodge.

But he was very excited. The growth of people like Mai was completely unpredictable, but the performance of Johnny Silverhand and others was consistent with his guess.

First, they will still choose the familiar power system.

Second, in terms of combat methods, it is still an improvement on the basis before joining the game, but the "Mechanical Believer" is a little more difficult to control.

Third, he finally understood the significance of "comprehensive evaluation".

In terms of the strength they showed, some of these people were stronger than expected, and some were weaker than expected, which just corresponded to the improvement and recovery.

"In other words, I can use the information advantage of a time traveler to make predictions."
