I am a reincarnation player.

"It's such a pleasant silence. People here are really too noisy."

Yuuki enjoyed the quietness, which was also an intentionally created atmosphere. Not only did he win, but he also felt very relaxed. As for what the truth was, no one saw it anyway.

Undoubtedly powerful, yet mixed with a terrifying unknown, Yuki keenly noticed that there were no more curses, only tens of thousands of statues examining him.

In a sense, he conquered Death Arena IV.

"Who else?"

In the dead silence, Yuki suddenly spoke. This was the first time he gave a battle speech, unlike those warriors who were holding torches and cheering wildly.

His voice was not loud, his tone lacked ups and downs, and there was no cheering at all, but he was still the focus of the audience.

"Who else will challenge me?"

Yuki shouted for the second time, and felt several strong fighting intentions, as well as various resentful and angry gazes, but when he turned his eyes away, everything disappeared like an illusion.

The people here are not afraid of death, but they want to die with value, that is, die with honor. But facing Yuki, let alone glory, not even a corpse will be left.

There is no cheering, no glory, no fighting process, no honor in defeat, just like the assembly line in a slaughterhouse, with a click, all the bodies are torn to pieces.

Finally passed the Novice Village.

Yuuki waited for a few seconds, then nodded slightly as if he understood, and slowly turned his head: "Now, I am a warrior."

"Yes." Abate nodded with some struggle. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't refute it.

Even though this warrior is hated by everyone and is the first person in history who is not cheered by anyone, according to the rules, anyone who is not challenged is a warrior.

[Player Yuki, the story enters a new stage, rewarding 1 specialization point, and plot change value. ]

A murmur followed, confirming that the guide was not lying, but Yuki was slightly stunned, overwhelmed by the huge amount of information in the prompt.

Specialization points? Bonus specialization points?

At first he was incredibly happy. He had already gone through four dungeons, and the specialization points would only appear during the final mission evaluation. He never expected to receive this gift.

Is this a special reward for the story mission, or is my approach to solving the problem completely different?

Lacking any reference, Yuuki could only guess, but then he felt a little nervous.

Plot change value is generated.

This must be referring to his approach to solving the problem. According to the normal process, the player should fight one battle after another until the blood flows like a river and he is recognized by everyone, or he slaughters all the warriors and takes over the blood-stained crown.

"But I'm different. There are still many soldiers. They just have lost the will to fight and don't want to die in vain."

Yuki knew he was taking shortcuts and violating the values ​​of the dungeon, but he still said the same thing:

I'm here to play games, why should I be led by the nose?

This kind of thinking became heresy in the eyes of others, as if he was not excited about being a warrior at all, and insulted the glory pursued by countless warriors.

But Yuuki was already used to this hostility and turned back slightly: "Hayasaka, let's go."

In dead silence, the two men stepped down from the ring and walked into the gloomy corridor. Only then did Yuki have time to ask.

He was the only one who received the prompt. It seemed that only one person could be the "warrior". Forget about the good thing of everyone working together to gain specialized points.

It is not a good thing for the plot to enter the next stage. One hour is too short for the seniors, and they have now hidden in the lounge where they entered the dungeon.

"Hiyori explored the second black building, and the process was similar to the first one." As soon as Yuuki sat down, Hayasaka Ai brought him coffee.

Not only can she be a secretary, she is also very good at taking care of people.

"So those black buildings are all ceremonial sites." Yuki thanked him, then sat upright and asked, "Anything unusual?"

"She needs to get deeper inside the building and have more time."

If you go deeper, you may encounter a red figure, so you really have to find a way to get rid of it. As for time, it has actually been solved.

Yuuki took a sip of coffee and looked at the worried Hayasaka Ai. "Are you worried that if this continues, the senior won't be able to continue the storyline?"

"Yeah, we're not in a combat situation, and they can't move an inch in this city."

"Don't forget the last sentence of hint 5." Yuki answered casually, which made Hayasaka Ai startled.

[This prompt upgrades with the player's status]

Player status upgrade?

She suddenly realized that Yuuki had been promoted from a warrior to a warrior, which meant...

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and a scarlet suit appeared in her eyes, accompanied by Yuuki's low laughter.

"Look, we've upgraded."

Chapter 5 Deadly Threat (K)

Two people entered the lounge. The one in front was the guide Abate, and the one behind was taller and stronger. He was wearing a blood-red suit and a golden skull mask.

"Participants in the ceremony, high-ranking members of the cult?"

Yuuki's expression changed slightly, Hiyori had already told him about the other party's existence.

He did not stand up to greet him, but held the coffee cup and observed him carefully. His appearance could not be seen because of the skull mask, but his blood-red eyes were filled with violence.

Although he didn't display any extraordinary powers, the heavy feeling of oppression was not an illusion.

Very strong, stronger than Bull Demon.

Yuuki's heart trembled. According to the information that Hiyori had found out, there was more than one person wearing a golden mask. Judging from the most superficial appearance, this plot mission was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

'Then he showed no disguising his hostility, but like Abate, he showed no interest in me.'

It's good news, Yuki has discovered that 'Bloody Disaster' has a hidden feature, which is exactly the opposite of 'Devil's Hospital' where 'those involved are confused'.

You can't use killing to weaken the enemy's strength. The more you kill, the more excited the people here will be, and the stronger the challenger will be. Yuki doesn't think he has the strength to crush them one by one.

"My name is Elke." The newcomer sat down next to him and observed Yuki carefully. He had reported the other party's existence to the apostles before, but at that time he only regarded him as an interesting seed.

I never thought that in just one day, this seed had taken root and sprouted, and actually became the first warrior.

The recent conversation flashed through his mind, and he made no secret of his hostility. "I've come here specifically to inform you that, even if it's not glorious at all, you are already a warrior of Death Arena IV."

The tone was very stiff, without any hint of congratulations.

"I'm the first?" Yuki asked casually with a frivolous tone.

"Yes, an ignominious first place," Elke replied. There was nothing to hide.

What an unexpected gain, I actually got the first place.

The strategy for conquering Yucheng is a unique approach, and is indeed different from the "fight to the end" mode of the dungeon.

"Did you arrange for the Bull Demon?"

"Yes, the middle part is skipped." Elke was still direct. People in this dungeon never beat around the bush. "Either you are terminated, or you prove your worth."

I'm making you feel uncomfortable, so I'd be surprised if I didn't omit it. As for my value...

"There are several seeded players who can catch up now. When will I fight with them?" Yuki suddenly spoke without any preparation.

Elke's eyes froze for a moment, and he turned his head slightly to the side and said coldly, "This is not your concern. Just follow the instructions."

Everyone in this copy is stupid.

As a professional cunt, Yuuki's expression was so subtle that it told him the answer:

You are more precious than you think.

His mind became active, and he thought about it. With eight death arenas and eight warriors, and the strength of those plot characters, coupled with the weird and fanatical atmosphere, the failure rate of the player team is very high, and there will definitely not be many who can survive the 'Novice Village'.

No wonder this golden mask came, it represents the importance the cult places on me, or rather, on the 'seed'.

After using some talk therapy to extract important information, Yuki was not moved, nor did he change his ways. He found that his value was far beyond his imagination, so he just made the best use of it.

"We're fighting as a team, why am I the only warrior?"

Warrior - Warrior - Champion, these are the three levels of this plot, and everyone who steps onto the ring can be considered a warrior.

Elke blinked, as if he had heard an incomprehensible and idiotic question. After a long while, he replied, "The Warrior title can only be awarded to the strongest member of the team. How can we allow a weakling to tarnish this honor?"

Only one person? Does this mean that even if Hayasaka takes over for me and defeats the other warriors, the title will still go to me?

Yuki caught the message in the words and asked again, "But our team didn't all attack. How can you judge the strength and weakness, and how can you be sure that I am the strongest?"

Ah this.

Yuki's question had completely overwhelmed Elke's CPU. He turned to look at Abate, as if asking, "Who's crazy, him or me?" Abate shrugged, indicating that he'd been tortured along the way.

Of course you are the strongest. No, I can't be sure, but how can a strong person hide behind a weak person?

He thought about this question for a long time before answering, "This needs to be resolved among you. Whoever wants to become a warrior will defeat you."

I see, no wonder there's a tip that limits it to 3 times.

Yuki said that there is no such thing as defeat in a death fight here, because the opponent has no mercy and will never accept surrender, and there is no way to voluntarily withdraw from the ring.

"This prevents players from farming rewards. Otherwise, if I obtain the Warrior, deliberately lose to Hayasaka, and then take it back, wouldn't that mean I can endlessly farm Specialization Points?"

Yuki had a desire to exploit a bug, but when he thought about the fact that the reincarnation game would adjust the difficulty automatically, he gave up.

"What are the benefits of being a warrior?"

Elke's disgust became even stronger. Compared with the copy character, Yuki really seemed too materialistic.

"You and your team will be respected by this city until you cross the line."

Guessed it.

Yuki clenched his fists lightly, which meant that he didn't have to keep fighting to cover the actions of the seniors, and he could also leave the death arena and move freely.

Yuki released his hand and asked, "What does the red line mean?"

"Just don't do things you shouldn't do until our patience runs out."

What does it mean that you shouldn't do it? What does it mean that you have run out of patience? Can your answer be more abstract?

Even with Yuki's intelligence, he was confused by Elk. For example, he messed with people's mentality, and the senior sister explored everywhere. These were things that shouldn't be done.

"My unique fighting style is challenging your boundaries?"

"Indeed, this kind of fighting has no honor at all and is an act that should be despised."

What honor is that? Isn’t it just that I didn’t cooperate with you in that mysterious ceremony?

Yuki sneered and spread his hands: "Now, I insist on my own fighting style, should I be dealt with?"

The masked man's eyes froze for the second time, as if he was very angry, but he could only swallow the anger in his throat.

"I don't want to answer that question."

Hahaha, your red line is quite flexible. Just say it depends on my value adjustment.

Yuuki almost laughed out loud. It turned out that there was no problem in following the main line of the mission. If there were many players left now, he would probably be in crisis like what Hiyori said.

This isn't a gamble. When he was warned last time but received no specific punishment, he was already prepared to test the bottom line. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just act like a fool and fight to the end.

Then this flexible red line explains many issues, such as the status of other players, and the importance of the player in this copy.

At least you are not like the outsiders in Yaduo Town, one more or one less does not make much difference.

"If a warrior is defeated and his title is stripped, should the benefits be reclaimed?"

Elke fell into deep thought again. He always felt that this person's questions were very tricky. If he was defeated, he would die directly. What good would a dead person do?

"I do not know."

That means it won’t happen. The prompt only says that it will upgrade with the player’s status, but it doesn’t say that it will be downgraded.

Yuuki came to his senses and opened his mouth again: "I have another question."

"Enough! I'm only here to inform the Order of their decision, not to answer your questions." Elke stood up suddenly. He had realized that this bastard had been trying to trick him. "Just wait patiently. When the other warriors from the Death Arena emerge, I'll arrange for you to fight. Don't die then."

"Hey, leaving so soon? Sit down and have a couple of cups of coffee."

"I definitely won't ask. Come, let's chat about family matters."

Yuki kept calling out to him, but Elke didn't even dare to turn his head. He thought to himself that these bastards were so despicable. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have said a word and would have left immediately after conveying the message.

He took Abate out and slammed the door shut, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Abate had long been aware of Yuki's shamelessness. He frowned and asked, "The cult will just watch him cause trouble?"
