I am a reincarnation player.

Stepping onto the moss-covered stone steps and going deep into the forest, Yuki nodded from time to time and learned the details of the battle from Ayanokouji.

This is a backhand punch, digging a hole and waiting for the enemy to jump in. As for the "black hole", it is also reasonable. Without some trump cards, how can you dare to fight the strong with the weak?

'Zhou' also knew that there must be a trump card, so he took a very cautious approach. He even found out that the academy was divided into two factions. He only needed to contact the other faction and let them serve as cannon fodder to break it.

"But I took action and broke the standoff. As a large player organization, we can't just turn a blind eye. The damage caused by doing so would be greater than war."

Yuki laughed. He had thought about being a lone ranger, but never intended to form a large organization. As the saying goes, it's lonely at the top. On the surface, it satisfied his desire for power, and he felt extremely safe with hundreds of younger brothers.

But in reality, we have no choice. We have to jump into the trap even though we know it is a trap, otherwise all the order established before will be lost.

Moreover, organizations based on money and security guarantees are more troublesome because they lack identity recognition such as classmates or comrades-in-arms, and a new sociological system needs to be rebuilt.

"You've certainly helped me a lot. If it weren't for your perfect timing, the outcome of this battle would have been unpredictable." Ayanokouji walked past the tilted torii gate and turned around, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Also, I'm curious how you found such a perfect target like Nijimasa Shinomiya, and how you were surrounded by so many players."

Because it was a coincidence, no, to be more precise, it was my quick reaction.

Yuki's mouth twitched slightly. He had connected two things that were originally unrelated. However, he did not explain, but simply said:

"Destiny is so unpredictable, but it can be interfered with by human will."

Destiny-related items or features?

Ayanokouji nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The question that had puzzled him for several days finally had an answer.

Passing through the decayed and faded torii gate, the four of them had already reached the last stone step. The shrine in front of them was deserted, and the sound of cicadas could be heard from the dense trees.

This place has been abandoned for a long time. Looking back, you can see the small pier and the vast ocean, which gives you a unique sense of openness.

The two found a bench and sat down. Arisu Sakayanagi and Hiyori Shiina stood behind them naturally, obviously knowing that the real show was about to begin.

"Before that, I have a question." Yuki pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of death when the weak face the strong?"

Without the variable of Yuki, Ayanokouji's chances of winning are actually slim, and a smart man like him will not act rashly.

"You might as well broaden your horizons and not limit yourself to Japan. Players of the reincarnation game come from all over the world." Ayanokouji had been waiting for him to ask this and answered without hesitation.

"The world? Who's the big boss behind you?" Yuki immediately became interested. This relationship is quite complicated.

This is normal, as he has worked with tyrants and others.

"I can only say that they are friends I met during missions." The boy paused and said in a voice that was slightly admiring, "Have you heard of the 'Fighting God'?"

"The one from Shenzhou?" Yuki knew him, of course. He had heard of him from the forum. "Then why not ask him for a favor? He's more reliable than a variable like me, right?"

"Because he feels that time is running out and he has no time."

"What time?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, or I'll be obliterated."

Yuki shut up immediately. This was the reason why he made this special trip, to get more information from Ayanokouji Kiyotaka so that he could make preparations in advance.

He has discovered many suspicious points. Take this battle for example, both sides seem very anxious. Otherwise, as long as the core is not dead, they can continue to kill people and there is no need to fight desperately.

Obliteration is indeed related to the reincarnation game. He can't say it, but I can guess.

Yuki stroked his chin and asked coldly, "Is this related to the 'evolution' information you gave me last time?"

"Yes." The young man nodded decisively. He certainly knew what Yuki wanted. This desire to explore was the basis of cooperation.

"Time is specific to players?"

"of course."

"This piece of information requires seniority and authority to unlock, and it's vague?"

“It’s not just about qualifications, it’s also about evaluation.”

"Is it because of this that Sigong Huangguang didn't consider expanding the organization indefinitely? Is he more concerned about making plans for the future?"

"should be."

"The role of the organization is to assist and find helpers?"

"That's for sure. The power of an individual and a team is completely different."

“Is this an isolated case or a common occurrence?”

"It's only true for us, but previous players didn't know."

Yuuki paused for a moment, then leaned forward nervously. "So, will the player be eliminated directly?"

"It's dangerous, but not that exaggerated."

That's good. I thought he would die immediately after reaching a certain level. This contradicts the clues I found before.

A series of quick questions and answers. Looking at each one individually, Ayanokouji said nothing, and even if they were combined, it would be difficult to get an answer. But if you add what Yuuki has found out himself and add some imagination, you can arrange the contents into different combinations.

Yuki leaned back against the wet chair, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and looked at Shiina Hiyori who was concentrating beside him.

"I see."

Chapter 22 Perhaps He is Extraordinary (5K)

Inductive, recollective, imaginative, and concluding.

Yuki connected the known information with the questions just asked, including his guesses about the selection mechanism and what he saw and heard in "Those in the know are confused".

The erased information from the player forums, Zhou's acceptance of his false identity, his inability to improve his physical fitness, the origin of the Hunter's musket, the evil god that transcended the dungeon, the invitation he extended to me...

These have already exposed some problems, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's information added key details and together they constructed a result model.

"The reincarnation game has two stages. I'm currently experiencing the first stage. This stage has an upper limit. To reach this stage, one must undergo a very difficult test, which will exceed one's current cognition."

"Zhou accepted a false identity because they knew the new stage existed, but they didn't know exactly what it would look like. Similarly, they rushed into battle to build up their strength for this exam. Key figures like Shigong Huangguang are definitely running out of time."

"Time is affecting all players. Based on what the Tyrant said, the bottom line for this exam is four dungeon qualifications and a transcendental-level strength rating. However, judging by Shigong Hongzheng's situation, there should be a way to temporarily postpone it."

"Then the role of the player organization becomes prominent. A group of extraordinary players who work together well will have an advantage, not only in the exam, but even in the next stage. And don't forget that the organization always exists, and reinforcements are constantly arriving."

Damn it, why does he look like he is ascending to the immortal world and paving the way for the younger generation.

[Player Yuki, you have obtained the epic quest information. Do not disclose it to unknown players, or you will be killed.]

The murmur sounded decisively, which made Yuki feel both sad and happy.

The good thing is that he guessed right because the system endorsed it, and the sad thing is that he guessed right too.

"It seems that you have received the system prompt." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was obviously relieved. If Yuki was too stupid, he would have to provide more clues. What if he inexplicably crossed the line and was wiped out? Wouldn't it be unfair?

Since everyone was already aware of this, he wasn't afraid of being wiped out, and his voice relaxed a bit. "Don't be nervous. Theoretically, starting from the fifth dungeon, the probability of epic quests appearing will gradually increase, but there are several ways to avoid it."

"First, join other players' regular missions. A player can't participate in two missions at the same time. Second, use authority to delay the time it takes to receive all missions, but this is very costly. Third, use random missions to circumvent this, but the disadvantage is that the time is relatively short."

Yuki nodded slowly and asked, "Since there are so many ways to delay time, why are you in such a hurry?"

People are lazy and don't like to work. Except for a very small number of crazy people who pursue power, who wants to go to the next stage?

"Because I can't delay it anymore. It's like the invigilator doesn't care about you. You can cheat as much as you want, but if she targets you, she has ten thousand ways to make you take the exam according to the rules."

Ayanokouji didn't tell the reason, and Yuki didn't ask. Prediction, intuition, and probability calculation can all be done. So many players are not fools.

"Which method did you use?"

"Use all three, especially the second one, the effect is the best. However, after burning the strengthening points, I have to burn the specialization points. In a sense, I can't drag it out any longer." The young man sighed and answered a question that had been bothering Yuki for a long time.

This permission should be unlocked after completing seven or eight dungeons. Since enhancement points and specialization points cannot be traded, no one can delay indefinitely.

"What about the players who are not afraid of death? They will participate in missions crazily and accumulate reward points." Yuki thought of another type of player who is completely opposite.

"How is that possible? After the sixth dungeon, you can no longer accumulate enhancement points or specialization points. After the eighth dungeon, players will not receive any rewards."

"I see. I was wondering why there was a loophole." Yuki nodded again.

The initial clue will appear after the fourth instance is completed, and smart people will stop upgrading and get stuck at the Extraordinary IV level, avoiding receiving epic quests.

Isn't this just like exploiting a bug? You can use up a bunch of reward points to instantly reach Extraordinary IV and create an epic mission with super high difficulty to harm others.

The copy qualifications are the most fair. If anyone cannot reach the extraordinary level after eight copies, he deserves to die.

"No wonder you guys spend all day plotting internal strife but never participating in missions. Without rewards, you might as well just hide away in reality and live like a nobody," Yuki said sarcastically, then turned a bit surprised. "If that's the case, then except for those lunatics, eight dungeons is the limit for normal people. There's no point in fighting any further."

I haven't even reached the eighth copy yet, and there are very few people who can reach this level.

Ayanokouji frowned in displeasure and coughed lightly, "So, there's a lack of an opportunity to make those who try to delay give up, and for those who want to seek challenges to move on to the next stage."

"Do you think everyone's progress is stuck?" Yuki's eyes flashed.

"That's another guess. Just like why players are sorted by 'rounds', no known player has taken the exam yet. In other words, perhaps players who pass the exam will disappear from our perception, leaving no information behind."

It's a very simple reverse logic, and quite convincing.

Yuki touched his chin, looked at the sea in front of him, and almost understood.

To sum up, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka doesn't know what the epic mission is like, or whether anyone has participated in it. He can only infer some results based on the existing information.

4 copies of qualifications, the extraordinary comprehensive evaluation is the entry threshold for the exam. As the qualifications increase, the possibility of receiving epic tasks becomes higher and higher, and then normal people try to find ways to delay.

Gradually, they realized they could not delay any longer, so they began to think of ways to deal with the aftermath, but there was a problem:

Some of those crazy people who are pursuing power must have completed more than eight copies, so why haven't they received any tasks yet?

The reincarnation game deliberately manipulates the mentality, making it impossible for those who want to stay to stay, and impossible for those who want to leave to leave. Or is this a unified examination, waiting for that opportunity?

Yuki didn't know and wasn't interested in thinking about it. He was almost at the critical point and got panicked when he heard the probability.

What opportunity, what probability? He has never had confidence in such things that depend on luck. The lesson of the bloodthirsty red moon is still vivid in his mind. If he receives an epic task as soon as he crosses the threshold, it will be a lot of fun.

"I want to procrastinate and postpone participating in the next dungeon mission."

"Don't worry, judging from your situation, there should be no more than 5 copies. I'm not panicking either. You have plenty of time to prepare." The young man smiled, which was deduced from the question.

Anyone with normal IQ should be able to guess most of the answers after unlocking the permissions for the fifth copy, so there's no need to ask myself.

"No, I've always had a bad face and I'm afraid of receiving epic quests as soon as I step through the threshold."

"How could I be so unlucky? I just speculated that it might be the unified examination, etc..." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said, then suddenly shut up and turned around with a look of astonishment, "You said the threshold? You don't have the qualifications for four copies?"

Not only him, Sakayanagi Arisu also looked over and opened his mouth slightly.

Seeing them like this, Yuki felt secretly pleased, finally dispelling his sorrow. He nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed one more dungeon mission left."

"You want to shock me?"

"Is this necessary? I'm not such a petty person." Yuki spread his hands and faced two pairs of surprised and doubtful eyes.

There is really no need for that. That is to say, he now has three copies of qualifications, and there is no large organization behind him to provide resources. What kind of monster is this?

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka originally thought that he was fast enough, as he had advanced to the extraordinary level in the fourth copy, but he saw that he was even faster. Fortunately, he had a very good psychological quality and quickly put away his surprised expression.

"Why are you so nervous about your three dungeon qualifications?" The young man shifted his hips, seeming to move slightly away from Yuki. "I said the unified exam is just a deduction. In theory, as your qualifications increase, your chances of receiving epic quests will be greater."

"I believe your inference more. You can also call me a pessimist." Yuki shook his head. He knew that his problem was not caused by Mibi, but he was simply being targeted. He didn't have the confidence to gamble his face.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had a suspicious expression on his face, but he looked at Yuuki with a determined look, thinking that this man had some unspeakable secrets and was willing to believe in a low-probability event.

It's not normal to be promoted too quickly, but never mind, he's a very valuable collaborator.

After learning about Yuki's qualifications, he took it more seriously and nodded, "The first method depends on luck, the second depends on resources, and the only method you can use is the third one, which is a random mission."

"The random mission time is too short, and it is counted as part of the return rest period." Yuki was a little disappointed. If it were really that simple, he and his senior and others would have taken turns to start it.

When the break time comes, the murmur sound will immediately start, and then you will not be able to enter the random task.

"That's a normal random mission. I have a way to design a longer one," the young man corrected in a low voice, glancing vaguely at Shiina Hiyori beside him. "Of course, it won't be too long, two or three days at most, but it will allow your teammates to complete a mission."

"That's enough. What price do I have to pay?" Yuki nodded immediately. His thoughts could not be hidden from Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Want to leave time for your companions to improve their strength? In other words, the gap between them is quite large. This man has either traveled alone or gained a lot of personal benefits besides the final evaluation.

The obvious result is that the purpose is to form a team to complete the epic mission.

"Your teammates will have a hard time." The boy reminded, and then looked at Shiina Hiyori, surprised that the latter did not show any reaction.

This is equivalent to completing your own copy. As soon as you come out, you have to participate in the mission in Yucheng immediately, and the time must be set well.

Yuki was not worried about this because the person in charge was confused for too long. The seniors returned a day earlier. According to the previous rules, one of Hayasaka Ai, the senior, and Hiyori would receive the task prompt first.

"I will fully consult with them. Just tell me what the cost is."

Should I help him? What do I need to gain?

Ayanokouji hesitated for a moment. This item was very precious. It was by combining it with the black hole that he was able to defeat Daytime. However, the side effects were also very strong. He felt unwilling to help in vain.

"Would you like to be a iron felt?"
