You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Sit on the bench, smell the fragrance of flowers, the breeze blows, blowing up some petals, there is no dust here, the exquisite fountain rises and falls with the music, opposite the square, several players imitated the mode of the border area and set up several coffee stalls with consumable props.

It was so peaceful, this is what it should be like after a difficult journey.

Philen was lost in thought for a moment before speaking to himself, "I understand why you no longer care about the Pioneer's authority. Changing nothing is the best outcome."

I didn't unlock the permissions yet.

Yuki didn't refute. He really didn't have the desire to become a god. It would be too boring to watch a group of players bowing down to him with respect on their faces but wanting to replace him in their hearts.

"You like this?"

"Well, for players in most camps, this is a paradise." The girl hesitated to speak, wanting to say that she did not belong here, but according to the rules of the reincarnation game, the player team is in front of the camp, and unless the entire team is killed, she will return with this man.

So 'Ether Particles' and 'Thorny Roses' are no longer important, she will regard the team as her home.

This feeling was magical, and it made Philen, who was looking for a place to stay, feel like he was dreaming. Perhaps in the reincarnation game, there was no place to stay more perfect than here.

Just as I was thinking about it, a hand reached out from the side, and a man with black hair and red eyes smiled gently.

"Then welcome to the promised land."

Chapter 6 Harmonious Team (K)

As the owner, Philen was naturally happy about his territory, especially after learning a lot of gossip from the girl.

Each camp's outposts are different, but most of them are filled with bloody killing and looting. There is even a camp called "End of the World" where players who make mistakes will be caught and burned as firewood.

The players of Briarrose are all too normal. Even the most notorious "artists" seem extremely normal compared to those demon hunters and chaos orcs.

In addition, Yuki also got an important piece of information from her, that is, many camps do not have pioneers, or do not have a certain pioneer.

The 'Ether Particles' called the pioneers the Throne of God. The original one is no longer traceable, but the Throne of God has been split into many pieces, and the people in the camp are fighting to the death for it.

Presumably, the other factions were similar. He was puzzled as to why the 'Iron Faith', as the representative force of the 'Mechanical Believers', had failed to unify the factions. With Yuki's current authority, he could become the absolute king if he spent some effort to eliminate dissidents.

Is it because there are too many people to manage? Or is it because the authority is incomplete and it can't be done?

Yuki didn't know and had no way to ask, but with just a little thought, he could find the problem.

The pioneer is the first player to open up the new land. He must lead the camp through the assessment and connect with the border area. Unless there is a strong man who can pass the level with one life, there will be someone to replace him.

Just like the throne of the 'Ether Particle', it is the authority that was shattered after the death of the previous pioneer. Everyone's strength is similar, and it is difficult to reunite.

There are too many players in that large faction, and even if the "Mechanical Believer" wants to collect all the permissions, it will take a lot of effort.

Only I am different. I don’t need to pass the assessment, and no one competes with me for it. Unless I die in the dungeon, no one can shake my position.

Yuki was completely relieved, and then spent a few days in peace, while observing Philen.

Reality speaks louder than a thousand words. It didn't take long for Philen to develop a sense of identity from the bottom of her heart. She went out for a walk in her free time for several days in a row, and there was always someone to accompany her and explain common sense to this player who came out of the magical world.

She began to integrate into the team, not just like a timid guest, and even took the initiative to do housework and made a lunch with a medieval style.

"Phelan is a good child. I've observed her for many days and there's nothing wrong with her."

A cup of tea was placed on the table. Sakurajima Mai had never been a careless person and had been observing quietly.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with the person I choose. He will definitely get along with everyone, both in terms of personality and ability." Yuki raised his head. He had been studying how to use the newly drawn concept costume 'Ghost Beast'.

"Okay, I admit that you made the right choice this time, but you should bring back fewer people next time."

"why?"

Mai rolled her eyes at Yuuki and smoothed her hair over her ear. "It takes a lot of effort to get a stranger to integrate into the team."

"That's because you are all good people and hope that everyone in the team can become friends." Yuki decisively grabbed the senior's hand. The latter struggled slightly and then let him shake hands.

Philen's walk inspired the others, and everyone went out shopping and meeting friends this afternoon.

"With a hostess here, I feel much more at ease, and the whole team has a very good atmosphere."

There are many things going on in Yuki, and this family is basically maintained by Mai. Her high emotional intelligence and gentle and generous personality allow her to get along well with everyone, which makes every member of the team feel comfortable.

"Hmm? You just said I was the hostess?"

"There is no two suns in the sky, and there is only one sun in my heart, senior sister!" Yuki's face was full of loyalty.

"Then where are you going to put Hayasaka-san?" Mai deliberately retorted, and seeing Yuki's expression turned embarrassed, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

This man may be cold, cruel, or bitter, but these dirty words belong only to him.

He simply snorted: "Okay, okay, don't act like that, but listen carefully--"

Yuuki's face was held in her white hands, and Sakurajima Mai's expression was serious.

"If you dare to abandon me, I will kill you."

When Yuuki heard this, his pupils shrank slightly. This was the first time that the senior responded directly to the relationship between them. It came from her persistent proactive attacks and the cooperation of Hayasaka Ai.

My strategy finally worked, and the strategy game entered a new stage. This is a magic sword, and I can finally launch an all-round offensive from now on.

"Does this mean you accept my confession?"

"When have I ever refused?" Mai turned her head away and didn't look at him. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. She could hear her own violent heartbeat, and then felt a slightly itchy touch spreading on her thighs.

The black stockings feel great, silky, warm, and even a little moist going up?

His wrist was suddenly clamped, and his straight legs were tightly closed. His extraordinary body was really like an iron clamp. Yuki did not seize the flaw and attack desperately. Anyway, the feeling of having his hand clamped was pretty good.

Mai's entire face was flushed red, forming a sharp dividing line between her long black hair and white neck. Her brain was overloaded, and she felt dizzy and had no energy at all. She loosened her legs for some unknown reason.

"Hayasaka and the others won't be back until dinner time. She's very punctual, usually to the minute."

The voice was so soft that Yuki had to concentrate to hear it clearly. He couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, thinking that this senior must have taken the wrong medicine today. Why is she so brave?

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, the limiter was released, and the human cannon was ready at level one.

"So how long does dinner take?"

"Let me think about it, oh, I told her it was six o'clock in the afternoon." Sakurajima Mai turned her head to look at the clock on the wall, then turned back, her face still flushed, but there was a little devil's light in her eyes, accompanied by the pleasure of revenge.

"It's 5:58, pighead, you have two minutes."

......

Click.

The door opened, and a group of people went home chatting and laughing. They went to Central Park to have coffee with Liuhua and others. Now, players with business acumen have begun to do business in the outpost.

It is true that all daily necessities can be exchanged in the game, but players at this stage care more about emotional value. As long as they can get together comfortably with friends, they don’t care about a few points.

"Senior, I brought you a cake. I always feel that it tastes better than the ones exchanged in the game." Kaguya put a bag on the table. The young lady had extremely high requirements for the quality of life. After exchanging the last special exchange point for 500 points, she returned to the time when she was a rich woman giving away money.

"Hey, why is your face a little red? Are you sick?"

"How can someone with a supernatural physique get sick?" Mai put down the kitchen knife, not daring to look at the maid. She thanked her and looked at Hiyori, who was holding a pile of books. "Didn't you buy a lot of books?"

"This is a novel written by players based on their adventure experiences. I want to learn some experience from it." Hiyori stuck out her tongue. This was of course a lie, but these experiences that were like fantasy novels were particularly attractive.

The girl built a special library. As her strength increased, she could read ten lines at a glance and remember everything she read. She could read millions of words every day.

"You curl up on the sofa every day, you should move more."

"Anyway, my physical condition can be improved with specialization points. Besides, I just went out this afternoon."

“It’s just a different place to read.”

"No, I've met a few players and we've made plans to go shopping together next time," Hiyori argued, putting on her apron naturally and taking the kitchen knife from Mai. "There have been fewer bad guys in the outpost lately. It's like being back on Earth. Most players are going about their business honestly."

Players come from all walks of life in the real world, and there is no rent or anything like that in the outpost. In-game redemption always has flaws, just like premium coffee beans, which taste different when brewed by different people.

Things are sold at a lower price, so there are always people who pay for them. Only a few people would just sit in their rooms after returning home.

Players also need to relax. The 100-point ticket to the border area can allow you to live comfortably here until the next copy begins.

"By the way, we also met players from Fengyuan High School today."

"Who?" Mai suddenly became interested. This was her alma mater, and she hadn't been to school since the Devil's Hospital.

"Futaba Rio, I wonder if it's a pseudonym."

Because of the severance of connection with reality, many players no longer use code names.

I seem to have heard of it somewhere?

Mai felt inexplicably familiar, probably a first-year student. It was like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, so she decided to meet him next time she went back.

Just as I was thinking about it, a hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Oh, where did Yuuki go?" Hayasaka Ai appeared beside him like a ghost, speaking in a fast tone. It was probably because she was playing the role of a hot girl just now.

"In the room." Mai didn't dare to look into those blue eyes that saw through everything.

This house was originally built as a rental house. Yuki's bed was originally in the living room, and people had to pass by his bed to go to the garden. One morning, while reading, Hiyori passed by the living room and saw a mysterious bulge. She then made a hole in the wall and drove him in.

"You kicked me out at noon, what on earth were you planning?" Hayasaka Ai's face was full of suspicion. When she saw Mai's face, which had just calmed down, turned red again, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Senior, you are not going to sneak out again, are you? Don't blame me for making trouble next time."

"No, nothing. Do I look like a shameless person?"

The maid looked him up and down and shook her head: "It's hard to say."

"Don't ask, I was just feeling upset and wanted to take revenge on him, and it worked quite well." Mai snorted softly, and just as she was feeling at ease, she saw the maid approaching and whispering in her ear.

"Senior, but your stockings are untied."

Mai suddenly froze in place, like a sculpture. She didn't dare to look down, and clenched her toes, wishing she could dig through the floor and bury herself in it.

This, this, this, me, that pighead!

"Ah, you're all back." Yuki just came out of the room with a calm expression, looking like a sage. Before he could even see who was in the room, the murderous intent he sensed made him turn his head away, just in time to meet the shamed and angry gaze of his senior.

I am the victim, why do you look like you want to eat me?

Yuki couldn't understand women's minds. He thought that his senior was forced to give in and was still upset. He had already gained a great advantage in this matter. He could just wait until she calmed down and continue his progress in the conquest.

It would be unwise to offend someone at this time. Just then, a medieval magician named Philen was tinkering with the PX5 skillfully. Full of curiosity, he walked over to watch.

"These two definitely had something to do this afternoon. Senior's revenge must be true. The key is why?"

Hayasaka Ai leaned against the table, her deep blue eyes darting back and forth, somewhat like Yuki in the attacking state.

The maid is very professional in everything she does. After the beatings of the reincarnation game, she can also think rationally about love. As she thought about it, her eyebrows twitched slightly.

Humph, my psychological suggestion worked, and this innocent senior sister took action.

Sakurajima Mai is good in every way except that she is too innocent. Before joining the reincarnation game, Hayasaka Ai had seen all kinds of bad things happening to the wealthy consortium. She knew that some things could not be stopped, and she had no confidence in competing with her senior.

Don't try to control men, especially strong men. This is the truth she came to after studying the materials hard and combining it with past experience. Since she can't win, she will find a breakthrough through Sakurajima Mai.

The effect seems to be good. Her concept has changed, and his concerns have been relieved. Well, I can proceed to the next step of the plan.

Hayasaka Ai was very awake, her eyes lingering on everyone.

Mai Sakurajima, her position is stable and unchallenged; Hiyori Shiina is more like the younger sister in the team and is not a big threat; Philen is a very rational person and will not get himself into trouble.

Miss Kaguya is the most troublesome. She obviously doesn't understand anything, but she still wants to interfere with me. I don't have much resistance to her.

This eldest lady, who was like a sister to her, gave Hayasaka the most headache. She quickly suppressed some outrageous thoughts and instinctively took a step forward. However, she glanced at Kaguya who was peeking at her from behind, and slowly retracted her step.

Well, no rush.

Without the thrills or desperate planning of the dungeon, the days after returning seem uneventful.

Only then did Yuki realize that Philen had played a game console before. He heard that a certain player had to bring a PX5 with him in the dungeon and was called a waste angel by his teammates.

Then at the outpost, they made a lot of new friends and their network of relationships was slowly expanding.

They were all sixteen or seventeen years old, and they always had common topics. Some of them even went to the same school, just as Yuki had observed over the years.

Just like the Advanced Training Academy, high school students are very likely to become players, often in groups. However, there are also many problem children there, such as when Hiyori mentioned the name Katsura Kotonoha while brandishing a kitchen knife, Yuki felt a phantom limb pain and quickly asked her to put the knife down.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head and thought to himself that if he was not smart enough, and given the cruelty of the reincarnation game, he would most likely get a ticket.

After dinner, it was Hayasaka's turn to clean up, gently washing the dishes with the sound of running water. Kaguya made tea nearby, making every move as graceful as possible.

After the new guy came in, the eldest lady started to act pretentiously, trying to poach my people.

Yuuki watched coldly. He had already asked and found out that all the expenses this afternoon were borne by Kaguya, which made Philen a little cautious. Because in other player teams, Kaguya's behavior was considered factionalism and she would be easily punished.

But Yuki didn't care. The eldest lady was trying to show off to him everywhere. Even if she won, she probably wouldn't know what she could do.

It’s so peaceful.

Yuki propped his chin up, while Hiyori huddled on the beanbag across from him, absorbed in a book. Fearon sat upright, her controller focused. A medieval magician like her had never experienced such an engaging game. Even entering the reincarnation game was a struggle, leaving her no time for experiencing life.

Why is "The Rose of Thorns" like a paradise? It is because there is life beyond survival.
