You tell me, this is called daily youth?

The cause and effect tracing has been used dozens of times, and no player has any connection with Taichi. Before, Yuuki was afraid that they would find Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and then follow the clues. Now it seems that he was thinking too complicatedly.

"What does your search for 'Taiyi' have to do with me, the Thorn Rose?"

"What does your search for Li Dan have to do with my Sky Island Yucheng?"

"Then in the future, if you look for Raymond, what does it have to do with me, Li Dan?"

Hehe, nesting dolls are really interesting.

During a break in a copy, Yuki loaded three layers of nesting dolls on his body. Even if Aizen Sosuke had an IQ as high as a demon, he would be confused. It was not that Yuki's IQ was overwhelming, but that he jumped out of the game framework.

Nothing is something, something is nothing. I am the ghost in the reincarnation game. It is not easy to find me.

slam-la-

The paper door was opened, and Liangyi Mana was kneeling at the door with a complicated expression. He had not come for night raids recently.

As she gradually got to know Yuki, she understood why her mother dared to take risks and gamble, and she also understood why this man was terrifying.

He is not insidious, but insidious beyond common sense. Even Manas does not know how many aliases he has behind the identity of "Li Dan". Relying on his ability to transcend common sense, he can be any player and be in any camp.

How do you find it? Just like a ghost, you can only identify it by its abilities.

Monster IV, a melee fighter with black armor and flames, and also has spatial abilities. It's not difficult to find a place where all three are combined, but this guy predicted it again.

"Are you very proud?" Manas lamented in his heart, but his words remained merciless.

"There is one thing. After all, according to the intelligence from the border area, no player targeted by the Judge can survive two copy cycles." Yuki seemed a little arrogant. This was the requirement of the new character.

The 'Secret Sage' Raymond was not something he made up. This person really existed in the Aether Particles. His origin was the local customs and practices that Philen had told him about when he first entered the Wizard's Tower.

This character's strength is estimated to be above Monster II. He never communicates with others. As a lone ranger, he is dedicated to completing dungeons. Whenever other players think he has fallen, he will suddenly appear again.

His strength is uncertain, but he is good at space-related skills. When putting on the vest, Yuki immediately thought of him, and had an additional consideration.

I have never heard of the name Raymond. He must be a passer-by player in some world. After ascending for so long, Yuki knows that the "success rate" of the protagonist or important supporting characters is relatively high. After all, they have a strong presence in their hometown.

Being a casual player means there are no messy interpersonal relationships or hatreds brought from his hometown, and the lone ranger role is more suitable for him to perform.

"Hmph, I really admire you for that." Mana wrinkled his nose and placed a piece of information on the floor. "This is the information on the 'Hidden Sage'. Very few players have seen him. We have tried our best. If this works out, we will give you a great gift."

"What kind of gift?"

"Hehe, you'll know later."

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it." Yuki rolled his eyes, picked it up and looked at it, thinking about something.

He has no sense of existence and all his power comes from the reincarnation game. That's good, so he doesn't get embarrassed when he meets acquaintances.

"Hey, the dungeon is about to begin, are you ready?"

"Anytime." Flames burst out from Yuki's fingertips, lighting the paper. Just a few thousand words had already been imprinted in his mind.

"Then come out with me to meet your teammates. Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you." Mana grabbed Yuki's hand, but was gently shaken off. The latter stroked his chest with his right hand like a frantic gentleman.

"As you command, my dear lady."

"You're getting into the mood so quickly. Which one is the real you?" The girl pursed her lips. They had been together for almost ten days, but she still couldn't see through this man.

“I am neither in the future nor in the past. I am truly myself right here and now.”

Bah, bullshit true self, I just learned it based on the information.

Mana rolled his eyes. Just like the face hidden by the fool's mask, Yuki seemed to be hidden in the fog.

Humph, one day, I will take off your mask!

......

Yuki didn't know that he had triggered Ryougi Mana's "youthful rebellion". He first left the courtyard through a secret passage that had been prepared long ago, wandered around the street for a few laps, and then took two things from the secret base in Valhalla.

One of them is the Heart of the Frost Goddess. This item was sold at an auction house and is now registered under the name of the "Secret Sage". This is a very common business in the border area. There are always players who kill people to steal treasures, and they deliberately launder their possessions to avoid being targeted by their enemies.

Only high-end exchanges can do this kind of business, and they will keep the identity of the seller absolutely confidential.

The second was an eyeball, the gray pupils seemed to be still alive. Yuki held it in his hand and adjusted his rimless glasses.

[Epic Bloodline Item: Eye of the Void]

[This creature only lives in the universe and appears in high-difficulty dungeons]

[Evolutionary Direction: Energy Control, Energy Simulation]

"This is it."

Yuki grinned, the last piece of the puzzle finally fell into his hands. This kind of thing was in short supply and required quite deep connections. As for the judge following the clues and coming to him?

The blood-related items disappear after use and will not produce any causal relationship. This clue will eventually be broken by the hidden sage of the "Ether Particles". As for the problem of the evil-eliminating team?

They are just middlemen, and you didn't order them not to do business with Li Dan.

"I still need four specialization points. Well, don't worry, I'm only a few meters away from the door. There's a mission right after that, so it's best not to upgrade before the mission starts."

Yuki put away the bloodline item. He still remembered the setting that Bradley had told him. Every player would have a score, so why set the initial score so high?

After receiving the two most important gifts, Yuki, dressed in a neat suit, took another stroll outside Ouroboros. He could feel hidden gazes observing every player, and special detection props quietly swept over them.

Oh, I'm staring at you.

This is looking for 'headhunters', they don't believe that a faction that actually exists has no other players.

"This is a pretty advanced detection tool. It reacts when it encounters a set camp. Fortunately, there aren't many of these tools, and most of them are confirmation tools."

Yuuki looked straight ahead. Now, apart from showing the player panel, no one else could know that he was in the 'None' camp. This was why he would rather take the risk himself to attract hatred for the seniors.

I know their strengths and weaknesses, and they know my strengths and weaknesses.

If any member of the team is caught, the truth will be revealed, and his risk will be controllable.

After going around in circles, Yuki returned to the courtyard. It was remote and quiet here, but there were people following him. At least two pairs of eyes focused on him at once.

Standing at the door were Diarmuid and another knight in silver armor, who was handsome with dazzling golden hair.

Gawain.

The players in Valhalla were too recognizable, at least they couldn't escape the eyes of Yuuki, the former Moon fan. Before he could get close, a player walked out from the side of the road and blocked his way.

This person looked very strange, like a rag doll wearing a headgear with purple eyeballs, holding a scale in his hand.

"who are you?"

"'Ether Particle' Raymond, I've been invited by Valhalla to come and participate in the cooperation. Is that not okay?" Yuki was extremely polite, but his aura was very frantic.

He was wearing a fool's mask, but disguise props were a basic skill in the reincarnation game. At least one-fifth of the players would often wear this thing. The only difference was the ability level and whether others could see through it.

Of course, the Fool's Mask couldn't see through it, and the border couldn't take hostile actions. The Purple Eyeball wouldn't do anything rude. It watched the scales tilt to one side and silently made way.

The truth is, the player who is indeed the owner of 'Ether Particle' is confirmed to be cooperating.

Yuki didn't ask anything, just nodded slightly, passed by it, came to the door, and saluted the two gatekeepers with his chest.

"Raymond, I'm here to accept the commission. How do I take the assessment?"

This wasn't part of the 'Matryoshka Plan', but rather Valhalla had actually issued a commission, and the requirements were simple:

Monster III or above rating, solo player.

Different from Yuki recruiting people to form a team, this is a cross-faction cooperation based on contract props. Several factions make an agreement in advance to jointly attack a certain copy.

Of course, the Reincarnation Game is not stupid. It will regard the several camps that have signed the contract as a team and prepare copies that meet the score. Therefore, the assistants cannot be in the form of a small team, otherwise the score will be inflated.

"Mr. Raymond, you have a great reputation and do not need any assessment." Diarmuid's smile was very friendly.

"Then can I ask some questions?" Yuki ignored the eyeball man a few meters away.

"please."

"Why do we have to adopt such an unconventional strategy? Generally speaking, cross-faction cooperation is done when entering a dungeon." Yuki thought of the hunters and mechanical believers in the "Global Insect Plague", countless factions, countless missions, where there are friends there are enemies.

"Because this dungeon is quite special, you can think of it as another form of faction war, but it's taking place within the dungeon," Knight Gawain explained, bowing politely. "This dungeon counts players by faction. For example, if there are thirty factions participating in a quest, the more of our own people, the better."

That’s right, it’s more credible to find someone in advance.

If I'm not mistaken, they'll demand certain items be handed over, and anyone who dares to disrespect them will be punished through karma tracing. Once inside a dungeon, there's no such thing as an employment relationship; all players are equal partners, bound only by a contract.

"No, you can predict the copy?" Yuki's shock was not acted, isn't this cheating.

"Some qualitative changes can be understood in fragments, and based on experience, the most reasonable arrangements can be made." Diarmuid took over and gestured for help. "For example, this is the best way to handle 'hunting missions'."

.......

Hunting mission.

Yuki walked on the stone path again. He had lived in this courtyard for more than a week, but he looked around curiously.

This term was first derived from the "Mechanical Believer", which refers to the slaughter between players, without the constraints of authority, and fighting with all their might without any worries.

He thought about it and decided that this was indeed the best way to deal with the situation. Since there were only a limited number of factions participating in the dungeon, he could use 'his own people' to fill the upper limit. No wonder it required solo players. Since forming a team in advance would make them a team, he could try to lower the total score, thus killing two birds with one stone.

For example, if the dungeon cap is 30 factions, and 10 Monster III players participate in the quest, each player scores 10 points, for a total score of 100 points.

If all 10 players are sent by Valhalla, there will be 29 camps that are potential enemies. However, if 10 of the 5 players are from other camps, the number of potential enemies becomes 24, and the total score is still 100 points.

On the other hand, there is the master-servant relationship. The contract is far less reliable than strength. Valhalla can send out 5 Monster III players, which is enough to suppress any single individual.

"This is blatant cheating! Even in the reincarnation game, there's no fairness. As the President said, the strong always get stronger, and the weak always get weaker."

This is definitely unfair to other players participating in the dungeon, but what can you do? You don’t have an epic boss to predict the dungeon for you, nor do you have a powerful force to protect you.

Few factions can afford to hire a lone Monster III player. After all, in the reincarnation game, player teams are the most common situation.

But there is no point in forming a player team. The gap between team members will not be too big. They all occupy the same camp and their scores are much higher than those of solo players. Increasing the difficulty of the game is equivalent to cheating everyone.

Well, that's why I'm not in a hurry to get promoted to epic, but I can't raise the team score too high.

As he was thinking, Yuki walked around the pond and saw the familiar reception room again. He had spent most of his time in there studying the settings these days, but after half a day, the reception room had changed.

Several knights stood at the door, and at a glance they were all familiar faces.

Lancelot, Tritans, Lanmaroc, and Gawain who was at the door before, such a big scene, then it means that -

Yuki tiptoed gently and saw a petite girl with blonde hair, silver armor and a dignified face sitting next to Ryougi Shiki.

The King of Heroes, Altria, the legendary ahoge knight king.

He suddenly had a feeling that he was a true king. Actually, among Type-Moons, Ainz was not in the top tier, but Yuki was used to it.

The reincarnation game is a reshuffle. Heroic spirits stronger than her may not become players, or may die halfway. This is a winner-takes-all game, and at least King Aisha has enough minions.

Realizing his mistake, the blond king turned his head, nodded slightly, and then continued to sit upright.

Two Heroic Kings, two epic players, this released a strong sense of oppression, even the little kid Mana became serious, and there were several other players in the reception room.

A white-haired girl sat next to Mana, looking at Yuki curiously with her bright red eyes.

Illya, not like the Holy Grail version.

Next to her was a girl with long black hair, holding a red teacup and a dignified appearance.

Tono Akiha, there should be no version of this.

Finally, there was a handsome young man with white hair who was leaning against the door, looking at himself with one eye open.

Damn, isn’t this Archer?

This combination was very strange, causing Yuki to curse Mushrooms inwardly. There were too many parallel worlds, and no one knew which versions these people were from. Fortunately, he had Mana, and he could investigate slowly when he had free time.

Apart from these players who were obviously from Valhalla, there were some other people in the reception room, but most of them were using disguised props. They must be lone players who had accepted commissions like himself.

Lone players are either loners, have special reasons, or have grudges against big guys who they cannot afford to offend. Everyone is very good at hiding their identity.

"Your Excellency the Secret Sage, please take a seat. Now everyone is here." It was Altria who spoke, full of the rigor of a knight.

"Yes, Your Excellency the King of Heroes." Yuuki found an empty seat and sat down. Daimao had a very good reputation in the information of 'Mechanical Believer', and most of these players were found by her.

Sister Shi was also happy to slack off, fiddling with the teacup in her hand and letting King Daimao give her orders.

"As you all know, this mission is a continuation of the Faction War. When two factions have a grudge against each other, but neither can do anything to the other, the game will launch a hunting dungeon."

"Since we know about this in advance, we must make preparations early. You are all powerful people specially invited here, so we hope you can cooperate with us."

I know shit.

Yuki subconsciously glanced at Mana and suddenly remembered the kid's original intention.

The reason why I was brought to you was actually to help, and we formed an alliance because of certain reasons.

However, the reincarnation game is quite "considerate". When players are afraid to die in each other's camps, they will be allowed to kill each other in the dungeon. Without authority or geographical advantages, they can go all out in a relatively fair situation.
