You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Yuki isn't a demon, isn't that clear? This was just an experiment, and the results show that power and personal favorability don't align.

Chris was now on high alert and stretched out her hand reluctantly.

"Yes, we are comrades now."

Yuki sat still, tilted his head, and asked, "If I don't obey orders, will I be eliminated?"

what?

Chris blinked, obviously not considering this. Her right hand froze, her face expressionless: "You can try it."

Try it, hahaha, you've already shown your weakness.

It seems not. The natives here should know that the players are all lawless villains who don't care about any rules or disciplines. They will even turn their guns on you when they are forced into a corner.

This little girl is quite interesting. She is completely different from Hayasaka and the others. She has been tempered by the army and has lost her common sense. How could she win people over like this?

"Miss, getting people to help in the war requires welfare. It's really insincere of you to come with nothing."

"What, what benefits?" Chris looked confused. It didn't say it was so troublesome.

Yuki glanced at the young face, and seeing her silly look, he couldn't bear to tease her.

"What about the military merit reward you mentioned earlier?"

Sure enough, I am still struggling with the rewards.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of contempt in her eyes.

This is the best, otherwise I don’t know what to do if he makes excessive demands.

She raised her hand and took out her service pistol from her waist. It was a sci-fi-looking pistol, but there was a very special device on the trigger.

"The use of any equipment in the Defense Force requires biometric information, and the High Command can provide you with equipment based on your military merits. Otherwise, you won't be able to use it even if you get it."

Bio-locked? Does that mean these items can be taken out of the dungeon?

Yuki's eyes suddenly lit up. He was wondering why players didn't get rich by picking up these high-tech weapons. But in this case, aren't they just chaos items?

No wonder there are so many Chaos items in the border area. It’s impossible that they are all drawn from the game.

"This benefit is quite interesting. It immediately gave me a desire to fight."

"Then we are comrades-in-arms." Chris put away the gun and raised her right hand for the second time.

"Don't worry, I just prepared some questions. Please help me answer them and we'll see what the results are."

Yuki stuffed a piece of white paper into the girl's hand. The latter looked down and the corners of her mouth twitched.

It was a densely packed form that did not involve any secrets of the Defense Forces, but it contained everything from command authority, cooperation objectives, disciplinary constraints, and mutual obligations, making it more like a business contract.

This person is really troublesome!

Chris roared in her heart, but after making sure that it did not involve any confidential information, she had to answer patiently, and then slammed the dust table in annoyance.

"Is this okay? Why do I feel like I'm following your lead?"

It's not an illusion, I'm just testing your patience to find out how valuable the player's 'trust' stage is.

Facing a pure girl who only knew how to fight, Yuki was like a cunning fox. Seeing that she raised her hand for the third time, his patience had reached its limit. He then asked slowly:

"What's your name?"

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"I forgot, now is the time to formally introduce myself. You've never asked me my name."

Yeah, I don’t even know his name yet.

Chris adjusted her uniform, the heels of her boots clashing against each other. "Lieutenant Chris, Captain of the 15th 'Crimson' Squadron, Special Response Force, Defense Force."

"Hey, aren't you the vice-captain?"

Didn’t you just say you forgot?!

The girl took a deep breath and said coldly, "The captain led the desperate charge, and now I will take over."

The captain was the one who went to self-destruct? He's quite the hero.

Yuki recalled those warriors who went to self-destruct. He didn't know why, but he always had a connection with those iron-blooded men recently.

But such people should be respected.

Yuki stood up suddenly, adjusted his windbreaker, raised his hand and held the girl's hand.

"I am Sky Island Yuuki."

Chapter 6: Traitorous Looks Like Loyalty (K)

The deal was done, interest was generated, and Yuki officially joined the dungeon. His first impression of it was that it was all too normal.

There are no puzzles of the devil's hospital, no absurdity of the bloody disaster, and the main task is simple and clear:

Humans want to survive, and the Zerg want to destroy them.

On this basis, the targeted evolution of the Zerg, the defense commander's attitude towards the players, and the "spark" formed a logical chain, ultimately forming a massive instance.

Global insect plague.

The strategy route that Yuki prepared for himself was very simple, and his identity as a "lurker" didn't matter at all.

Follow the Crimson Squad to plug holes everywhere, accumulate merit to exchange for equipment, kill insect swarms to gain reward points and soul energy. In this way, you can further increase your reputation, move towards the top of the defense force, find out the secret of the spark, and use the local intelligence network to find the senior sister and others.

Kill two birds with one stone, simple and happy.

Seven days later, the silver-white "Goshawk" flew away from the Black Mountains, its wings covered with corrosion marks and its fuel almost exhausted.

Yuki stood in the cockpit, staring blankly at the sky in front of him, his eyes filled with a hint of numbness.

There is nothing much to say about these seven days. After refueling the fuel rods at a fortress, the Goshawk immediately set out on a journey, fighting for thousands of miles in the northern part of the mountains, frantically plugging leaks with friendly forces.

What's strange is that the fuel rod filling process is top secret and only the captain can participate. Yuki wanted to take a look, but was almost suspected, so he had to be a killing machine.

When a wormhole is formed, the guard station reports it and, depending on the size of the wormhole, they attack together with friendly forces to kill the swarm, block the wormhole, and then move on to the next location.

The intense and monotonous battle cycle was repeated five times. Excluding the sailing time, there was almost no day without fighting, which seemed extremely long to Yuki.

Seven days was more than enough to clear a dungeon, and he had never spent seven days doing just one thing. Now, when he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with insect swarms and all sorts of disgusting spores. His hand, wielding the knife, felt numb.

During these days, he also collected a lot of clues and sorted out many questions, such as one of them:

After participating in so many wars, the Zerg never eats humans. They simply kill humans. It is none of their business what hatred there is between the two sides, but they don't eat. Are they a group of perpetual motion machines?

And I was never asked to participate in cleaning up the battlefield. What is the defense force hiding?

"Mr. Yuuki, give me a can."

Just as I was thinking about it, the bald captain handed me a can of coffee. This stuff was not comparable to the one brewed by Hayasaka, but it could make me feel refreshed.

After unscrewing the bottle cap, the bitter liquid flowed into his mouth. Yuki tilted his head slightly and could see respect and appreciation in the other person's eyes.

Yes, he really has been fighting these days, and this is the only way to gain favorability.

His powerful strength ensured the success rate of the missions, and he repeatedly rescued the Crimson Team from dangerous situations. Only one person was killed in five battles, which was already a miracle.

There is a shortage of manpower in this world, and even the captain has to serve tea and water personally. Yuki's value is unquestionable.

"Are we going back?" he asked.

"Warriors aren't machines. They need to be rotated. Even my old bones need a rest." Ferik smiled and whispered, "Haven't you killed enough yet?"

"Well, I can still fight and kill."

Hearing this, Ferik was not afraid but happy. There was nothing more respectable here than killing insects. If there was anything, it was that he didn't kill enough.

"You're truly different from most reinforcements. Even Captain Kudus has changed his attitude somewhat." He clapped his hands gently and said sincerely, "You're as powerful as a monster, yet you have no interest in unnecessary tasks. You also possess strong command abilities."

Yuki said nothing, just smiled. He knew that these people had been watching him, and his performance was impeccable.

There were no fancy temptations, and he never asked about secrets. He just killed insects alongside them and used a knife to gain their trust.

Humans always have emotions, and after one battle after another, the attitudes of the people on the Goshawk have changed.

When refueling the fuel rods for the first time, he was locked in the cabin and couldn't see anything, but now he can stand in the core cockpit and enjoy the scenery.

"Some people are born to love killing, especially when there is a reward for killing."

"Hahaha, I know. I will definitely recommend you for credit when I get back!" Ferik laughed. He liked this kind of honesty. Isn't this the reinforcement that the command wants most?

"Well, I'll go back to my room to get ready. Call me when you get there." Yuki nodded, turned and left, glancing at the man in red military uniform sitting by the door.

The captain still had no expression on his face, but when he noticed Yuki's gaze, he nodded slightly.

The most difficult people to deal with have attitude changes.

Yuki didn't say anything. He left the cockpit after the automatic door opened. He had anticipated the current situation a few days ago.

"With my emotional intelligence and tactics, it's easy to fool these soldiers who are obsessed with killing insects. So the first step of the strategy plan is completed."

At the cost of thousands of insect lives, the defense army's reputation was raised to "friendly", while on the other hand, the Zerg's reputation fell to "indifferent". The ratio was obviously a bit wrong.

This is hint 5. As I am in the Zerg camp, my reputation decreases more slowly when I kill them, but I have never held back when I am in a neutral state. What is the point?

Yuki wasn't sure, but the first step of the plan went smoothly. He couldn't be impatient when investigating intelligence. For example, in the past few days, he hadn't thought much about finding a breakthrough.

First, build up your reputation, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Building up your reputation is also very simple. He is good at both chopping people and killing insects.

"And gaining reputation is just a side effect; the key is the reward."

Yuuki looked at the panel and couldn't help but smile.

The gains came from two aspects. On the one hand, the number of reinforcement points reached 5, and Yuki also figured out the reward rules for blocking wormholes.

That depends on the scale and degree of the wormhole formed. If you are killed as soon as you show up, there will be no reward. If he was not afraid of his identity being exposed, Yuki really wanted to use the defense force to raise worms to gain points.

On the other hand, there is the Demon's Heart. This thing has gone through three copies, ups and downs, and finally upgraded from 'Normal' to 'Full'.

So much money.

In the previous dungeon, Yuki was thankful that he was not targeted by the entire team. He had no chance to utilize the power of the dungeon and had so many reliable teammates.

I was filled with strength and wished I could spend the entire thirty days on the battlefield.

"This is my Big Bird Bank. No wonder the players are so excited. Faction missions can leverage each other's strengths."

Turning the corner of the corridor, a blonde girl came towards him. She was still wearing a gray-green military uniform. When she saw Yuki, her eyes lit up and she trotted over.

"You want to rest?"

"Yeah, I haven't slept for almost three days." Yuki nodded slightly, laughing in his heart.

It's so easy to gain favor with Chris. You don't need to use your brain, just stand by her in the midst of blood and fire.

After two battles, the initial disgust had disappeared. In the third battle, he led them out of the encirclement, and their guard was relaxed. In the fifth battle, he smoothly took over the command and fought a beautiful assault. His personal reputation was probably respected.

Everything is gradual, just like great wisdom appearing foolish. A real old pervert should appear extremely sincere.

"You've worked hard. I didn't expect that no one would die in the assault on the wormhole."

"Is it just hard work? No other expression?"

"Oh, I haven't studied much in the academic subjects, so I don't know how to express myself." The girl was a little embarrassed, so she stood straight and saluted. "On behalf of the Crimson Team, thank you for your support."

Seeing her honest appearance, Yuki couldn't bear to tease her anymore and leaned against the wall next to her: "Don't you take cultural courses?"

"Some people have more courses in this area. At the age of eight, they are divided into groups. People with physical disabilities are assigned to civilian positions. They have more courses in this area. I heard that there are also things like diplomacy."

Chris felt that there was nothing to hide about her personal experience, as it did not involve any confidentiality.

"What about you? You don't even have a chance to study?" Yuki showed a concerned expression, like an older brother.

"Yes, but not much. I was assigned to a military academy and began learning the use of various weapons. At the age of ten, I passed the selection process to become a psychic warrior. After undergoing surgery, I trained until I graduated at the age of sixteen." Chris paused, secretly glancing at Yuuki. Seeing that the latter's face was still full of concern, she continued.

"The commander-in-chief said that only if humanity survives can it inherit things like art and literature. They are useless at this stage."

Surgery? Does becoming a psychic warrior require surgery?

Yuki keenly grasped the key words. Who said that gathering intelligence requires being a hacker or an agent? He prefers to observe silently and have plain conversations.

But he didn't ask about the surgery at all, as if he didn't hear the girl's mistakes.

"Are you interested in this?"

"No, I just need to study team command and hone my psychic skills." Chris shook her head quickly.

"I'd be surprised if you didn't. After the third battle, you were staring blankly at the night sky, wondering how to describe its magnificence?"
