I am a reincarnation player.

"Who?"

"Remember what happened with the monster front? It's the same guy. The swarm managed to dig out some information from the database."

Shenwei didn't keep the secret and pulled out a piece of paper from the air. This was the information read from the Ministry of Internal Affairs database. The three of them looked at it at the same time and saw the black-haired young man in the photo.

Sky Island Yuu Castle?

I have never seen this player before, and I don't know what faction he belongs to. Judging from the information from the Defense Force's Internal Affairs Department, this person is actually a rare lone ranger.

You have to know that even the most cruel and powerful players will have a few "companions" and use them as cannon fodder at critical moments, just like Saito who just died. He can be regarded as the most important piece of the Zerg Swarm plan, helping Shenwei to gain reputation and obtain important information through the plot.

There is so little the Mavericks can do and so little choice that they can only go down this path.

"Does this guy really intend to tie the natives to death? Can't he see the current situation?" The real person was very surprised. He had a way to bypass the hints and get the truth from a few "toys".

Not completely, but it is certain that the Guardian's main mission does not include protecting the continuation of the indigenous people.

"Tsk, another person who is too immersed in the role, even talking about loyalty to toys." Akaza looked at him with disdain, but saw Kamui staring at the photo and licking his lips.

"He gives me a similar smell." The red-haired boy muttered to himself, and opened his squinted eyes a little.

"Him? A player who's too immersed in the game?"

Shenwei didn't say anything. He looked at the photo and always felt that something was wrong. This was undoubtedly a hero on the human side, but the Zerg's response seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Did he see through the illusion? Or was it just a coincidence?

He reached out and crushed the photo.

"I'll leave the Mechanical Believer and the Hunter to you. I'm more interested in him."

Chapter 5: Different Paths to the Same Destination (K)

The good news is that I have raised my reputation with humans to revered, and can now walk freely within the defense force.

Yuki changed his room, which was already a very luxurious cabin, and even the supplies were of a higher grade.

Vice Marshal General Reingold personally awarded him the rank of "Honorary Major" to commend his highest military achievements, which foreshadowed that Yuki would be included in textbooks and become a hero to be sung by people.

The honor was priceless, but the tangible rewards were few. The defense forces neither opened the warehouse for him to choose freely, nor did they give him military power or the authority to obtain secrets at will.

They were still worried, but my contribution was so great that they had to express their opinion.

Another good news is that the commander-in-chief was injured in the previous battle, and congratulations were only sent through voice, so there was no need to risk having his identity revealed to face him directly.

In fact, Yuki was not worried about this. As the saying goes, judge by actions, not by intentions. If the commander-in-chief was a little smarter, he would see through his identity but would not say it out loud, as that would shake the morale of the soldiers inspired by him.

To manipulate public opinion is the true way to be treacherous in the name of loyalty.

"But the bad news is that I became a bad guy and messed up the Zerg's plan."

The Zerg had obviously been planning this for a long time, and only started executing it after gaining the players' trust, and they had invested a huge amount of money in it.

The General, a high-level Zerg standing at the top, could be compared to the general of the defense army. It was precisely because of the encirclement and destruction of the General that this battle was hailed as such. In addition, two high-level puppet Zergs were lost, as well as a large number of medium-level Zerg swarms.

"I can only say there are gains and losses. Anyway, I still have a 7-point tip guarantee, which can help me regain my reputation at a critical moment."

Yuki had never intended to please both sides. Those bugs were too disgusting and there was no way they could cooperate.

Hatred and worship are inherently opposite. It is easier to gain reputation on the defense side, but the price is that it is more dangerous. As for the attitude of the players on the side of the Zerg, he is not too worried.

Yuki himself is a lurker, and his main mission is to seize or destroy the fire, but there is no such thing as helping the insect swarm to slaughter humans.

The reason I helped was just to get a ride and get information about the "Fire". As for what the Zerg wanted to do by looking for the Fire, we have to continue investigating.

"They will definitely find other ways to obtain information. I must take this opportunity to improve my strength."

This battle not only gave him a strategic advantage, but also brought him great rewards personally. It was equivalent to completing a side quest, plus the points he had accumulated previously.

Two specialization points and six enhancement points are equivalent to 1600 points.

A huge sum of money, comparable to the points of the entire team at the outpost. Then looking at the player panel:

Player: Yuki (experienced dungeons: Bloodthirsty Red Moon, Devil's Hospital, The Confused, Bloody Disaster)

Burning Blood Heart: Burn soul energy to improve energy efficiency. The more damage you suffer, the more intense the burning.

Strengthening points: 6

Specialization points: 2

Points: 25

Overall rating: Monster (I)

The player panel is becoming more and more complicated, especially the special props exchanged. Yucheng wants to fill up the storage space. As for what the points will be used for, he already has an idea in mind.

The Demon Breaker's Long Sword does not need to be upgraded. It can be used as a secondary weapon with defensive functions. Upgrading it further will only enhance its energy protection function.

For attack, this long sword that has been with him since the Bloodthirsty Red Moon is no longer enough. The attached soul flames have left burn marks on the surface.

The Phantom Dual Blades are used in replacement. Both are of similar strength, but both have illusion abilities.

"To further enhance my magic, I need to meet certain conditions. Vital Point Transfer can be improved. I currently have Regeneration Tail, and I can stack it with Burning Heart to speed up my recovery. As long as I'm not killed on the spot, I can recover instantly."

"Invest six reinforcement points to upgrade Vital Point Transfer to Master level."

Either don't use it or go all in. Yuki threw out all his reinforcement points and raised the original extraordinary skill of vital point transfer to the limit.

【Key Transfer (Master)】

[Source: Defeat the Giant Strange Species (Bloody Red Moon)]

[The critical part is transferred inside and outside the body, giving the concept of 'near death' when the skill is activated. The transfer distance is 5 meters, and the cooldown period is hours.]

"Inside or outside the body? It seems this move is most vulnerable to covering attacks. 5 meters is too close. If you can't escape the attack range, you will die."

"The cooldown period is too long. No battle can last more than six hours. Luckily, I have my senior to assist me, so using it twice in a row is no problem."

An extraordinary skill that can transform quantitative change into qualitative change. To be honest, Yuki doesn't use this skill very often, but every time he uses it, it comes in the crucial moment of a powerful dialogue.

"When faced with a desperate situation, first find a way to save your life, then combine the concept gift to turn the situation around. Well, this plan needs to be studied in depth, and at least ten contingency plans should be prepared."

Yuki touched his chin and decided not to use the two specialization points. Players could not convert points in the dungeon, otherwise he would have to go all in on his physical fitness. With so many new items stacked up, the last column of the panel finally changed.

Overall rating: Monster II

"Well, this evaluation is just a reference. I have too many special items to accumulate points. Once these items are used up, they can only be thrown away and cannot be upgraded."

Yuki has no intention of switching to the prop-based business. Those special props are all consumables, and the accumulated evaluation points are very unstable, and the overall evaluation will also drop.

But a new item has been included in the overall plan: having accumulated revered reputation, is there a chance to go one step further and break through the shackles of 'epic'?

He didn't know what it would take to achieve that special achievement, but decided to give it a try if he had the chance.

Standing up and walking to the floor-length mirror, Yuki glanced at his neatly trimmed black military uniform with gold edges and smiled narcissistically.

"Honorary Major directly under the High Command, the best among players."

This was the glory brought by military exploits. Yuki had a vague sense of belonging and looked at the opened automatic door.

Captain Chris also changed into a black military uniform. As a hero of the battle, she was also assigned to the headquarters. She hid her sadness very well, as if she had forgotten about her guardian.

"Have you found Mr. Silverhand?"

"No, he seems to have vanished from the ship. We've searched every area." The girl stood straight and explained, "You and I have done our best. I think we can ask the commander-in-chief to close the case."

The task of finding Johnny Silverhand was given directly to Yuuki. This might be a test, but Yuuki did his best because he knew that the ghost could not be found at all on the physical level.

"Don't worry, we still have to keep looking for them." Yuki gestured to the girl and walked into the corridor. "What's the status of the other reinforcements?"

"Mr. Ziying was killed in the battle, and the defense forces will compensate his companions. Miss Hiyori did not participate in the battle, so she will be given a symbolic reward. As for Ms. Smile, she has made significant contributions, leading the suppression of Area F and proposing a plan that coincides with the General Staff's plan."

"what's the plan?"

"Exploration plan outside the wall." Chris clenched her fists, her face filled with hatred. "The Zerg has suffered a great loss this time and will definitely retaliate. We should take the initiative to investigate."

Exploring outside the wall?

Yuki suddenly thought of someone from the Hunter. The trajectory of fate was so persistent. After a moment's thought, he understood the intention of the smiling lady.

The central database has its own digital life. It and Johnny Silverhand will fight in another dimension. At this time, the defense forces cannot be allowed to stop and rest. If they notice it, external intervention will be disastrous.

"What does the commander-in-chief need me to do?" Yuki asked in a low voice.

"I hope you can convince the reinforcements to join the plan. You know it's not good for the defense forces to interfere in your affairs."

Chris didn't beat around the bush. Now Yuki has become the leader of the human players, and the defense force will help deal with those who are disobedient.

Divide and disintegrate, coercion and inducement, and you can buy me off with an honorary major?

Yuuki did not disappoint her and stopped his steps towards the armory.

"Okay, take me to see them."

......

Yuki returned to Area K, but after just three days, only three of the original seven player representatives remained.

Saito rebelled, Johnny Silverhand disappeared, Purple Shadow and the Guardians were killed, and there were still six factions that could be used, among which the "Mechanical Believer" was saved by Yuki.

The three met again. Seeing Yuki in a neat black military uniform, Denise still had her signature smile on, making it impossible to understand what she was thinking. Shiina Hiyori's eyes kept switching between Chris and Yuki's faces, and her eyes were very weird.

This girl is not going to complain, is she? I'm not a stud, do I have to be so hungry and eat anything in the dungeon?

Yuuki quietly moved away from Chris for a while. The purple shadow got the admission ticket by attacking the plot characters, which is very valuable for reference.

Furthermore, he came here with power, not to discuss any investigation outside the wall.

"Captain, go ahead and let me have a good chat with them."

"Yes." Chris saluted and glared at the two of them, warning them not to make things difficult for Yuki.

After the captain walked away and the signal was blocked, the players finally breathed a sigh of relief. Denise's silver eyes were sparkling, as if she was hiding a lot of words.

Since Briar Rose has already joined the group, the two of them don't need to be shy about anything.

"Mr. Yuuki, you haven't fallen for a honey trap, have you?"

"Nonsense! If I get too caught up in the drama, I'll be the first to report you, and then I'll kill Johnny Silverhand." Yuuki sneered disdainfully. He caught a glimpse of Hiyori's increasingly suspicious eyes, so he simply added a bit of sincerity:

"We've already reduced the Zerg's reputation to 'hate'. It's impossible for us to remain unaffected. Besides, this defense force, aside from being overly suspicious, is a reliable partner."

"As far as courage is concerned, that's true. I personally hope they can survive." Denise stopped teasing decisively. She was not familiar with Yuki, and it would be impolite to continue teasing him.

Hiyori nodded slightly. Although they had been monitoring the players these days, the defense forces had indeed not treated the players unfairly.

"That's why the Zerg hate us. If they were to access the information in the central database, humanity would be like running naked. We wouldn't be able to hold out for long."

The information about the fire is the ultimate goal, while the top-secret documents such as various combat plans, troop deployments, war machinery parameters, etc. are the process. After obtaining the relevant information, the swarm does not need to dig holes at all, but can directly concentrate its forces to attack weak points.

"Your honorary rank of major is indeed well-deserved." Hiyori flattered him just right, as if he was deliberately trying to get closer to him.

"It's useless. Honor doesn't save you from death, and victory in this battle isn't enough to reverse the situation." Yuki was more sober than anyone else, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. "It's the tenth day of the dungeon, and the faction that should be eliminated has been eliminated. With such a crushing defeat, the Zerg will take more drastic measures. I think they also know the players are plotting against the 'Spark'."

According to hint 3 and past experience, both the Zerg and humans are unaware of the existence of the reincarnation game, but they are well aware that these aliens can do things beyond imagination.

The defense forces were afraid that players would take the 'Spark' for themselves, and the Zerg were equally afraid that players would take it away. Counting from ten days ago, this game of chess had been played by three players.

Thinking of this, Ms. Smile's smile froze slightly, and her eyes became sharp: "You don't trust Mr. Silverhand?"

"There are many ways to protect, but none of them involve trust." Yuki pulled out the red-green spores he'd found in Jacobson's mouth. "Tell him not to play tricks. I can help him, but I can also kill him. Even if we find the location of the Spark, we'll have to protect it. If it falls into the hands of a hostile player, it'll be troublesome."

The electronic bug virus physically extracts data. Denise took a deep breath. This man is not loyal, but extremely insidious.
