I am a reincarnation player.

"No, you've been eating all the time, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

Gain weight?

The girl puffed up her lips, transforming into a puff mushroom, and replied coldly, "For someone with an extraordinary physique, gaining weight is impossible. Please don't make such a meaningless joke."

"Don't be so serious. Do you like this?"

Philen said nothing. A beam of fire burst out from the mouth of the clown next to her, drawing warm applause. She recalled her past journeys. No town was more lively than this one.

"It's just a habit. No matter how good a dungeon is, it's not home. If we talk about fun, none of them can compare to PX5."

Good practical answer.

Yuki smiled bitterly, walked to the fountain in the center of the town and sat down, then quietly enjoyed the acrobatic performance not far away and the countless flirtatious glances cast at him.

This copy was novel and interesting to him, at least much more interesting than those bugs.

Philen sat next to her and started eating fried nuts again. She was really busy.

It was the first time that Yuki was so peaceful in the dungeon. He felt a little uncomfortable and secretly glanced at Fei Lun, but didn't know what topic to talk about.

"Last time you talked about the division of forces. Which players in the Aether Particles are beyond the monster level?"

The squirrel-like girl paused for a moment, then remembered that there was something she had forgotten to ask the man.

He knows nothing about ether particles, yet he dares to protect me.

"There are quite a few. From what I know, there are the Great Sage, the Ancient Mage, Deathwing, and the King of the Cemetery. They each have their own power."

They are all abstract names.

Yuki discovered that players in the new stage did not like to wear vests, but had many mysterious but impressive nicknames. He carefully savored these names.

"Tell me about the Monster Front."

"Well, the owner of the Monster Front is Deathwing, a giant dragon."

A dragon? Deathwing?

"Could this dragon be black and like to breathe fire?"

Philen looked at him strangely and blurted out, "How do you know?"

Holy shit, is it really Neltharion, the Deathwing? Does that mean the Aether Particles include World of Warcraft?

Yuki's expression became very ugly. This is a high-magic world. Then he saw that Philen's expression also dimmed, so he waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm not panicking. No matter how powerful it is, it won't come over and burn me to ashes right now. According to the rules of the game, the people of his hometown must also start from the extraordinary level to regain their power."

"Actually, you could give it more thought. Providing a place to stay is enough. Getting too close to me will get you in trouble."

"Then I'm at a loss, don't worry, my own troubles are bigger than yours." Yuki patted the girl's shoulder gently. He was the type of person who could easily be relieved by too many debts. He felt like Deathwing had come to his territory.

"By the way, how big is your trouble?"

"Well, the monster front will always seek revenge. If I kill one of their people, they might track me across dungeons."

"I also killed their people. It's not certain whether they will chase you or me." Yuki was relieved. He was going to be liquidated anyway, so it was always good to have an extra companion. He simply stretched out his hand.

"Besides being the same dungeon, we also have the same enemies. Let's work together to make sure that monster line doesn't dare to provoke us."

This person really knows how to comfort people.

Philen glanced at Yuki's hand and felt sweet in his heart. This was originally a deal. The other party provided a place to stay and he provided strength.

But from personal experience, from Yuki to Hiyori, no one treated her as a transaction. Everyone tried their best to make Philen feel a sense of belonging and give the wandering traveler a home.

"You're a good person, and so are Miss Mai and the others. Sometimes I feel it's too abnormal, like I'm dreaming and keeping my guard up, but no matter what, I can't find anything false or worth being deceived."

This is because they have experienced too many hard times, and once they have a good life, they become suspicious.

Yuki understood this mentality, and he didn't want to explain it.

“Do you like this team?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a delicate, soft and warm touch in his palm.

"of course."

Chapter 5: Flame Pillar? Nanami Kento? Isayama Yomi? (K)

Dang Dang Dang——

The ringing of the bells made the already restless town even more bustling. The bars were packed all night long and the various street performances never stopped.

There was regret in the eyes of the merchants who had made a fortune. This kind of event only occurs once every seventy years. It is uncommon for so many powerful wizards, princes and nobles to gather together at other times.

They are very business-savvy. Before the tower was even opened, various clinics and medical stalls had already opened.

"Compared to the previous copy, this one is very normal."

Yuki yawned. He and Philen did nothing last night but wandered around everywhere, and finally found a hotel to stay in.

Of course, there is no two days in a day, so two rooms were opened.

There were big shots everywhere in and around the town, just like brothels, inviting him whenever they saw him, which was really annoying. He also didn't see any trace of other players.

Players at this level have long been immune to things like venting desires, and are even more reluctant to come into contact with their peers too early.

"Are these the medicines you prepared?" Yuki looked at the hundreds of strong men in front of him. The cattle and horses around them were filled with various supplies.

"Yes, this is the spirit crystal bottle." Peggy took out a small blue bottle and handed it to Yuuki. The latter took a look at it and did not receive any game prompts, only a weak energy reaction.

Switching to the demon's vision, the energy fluctuations were about the same frequency as the gems in the air and on the mercenaries' weapons.

"Can I drink it?"

"How is that possible? The human body cannot withstand the energy inside. It is used to irrigate the soul crystal and replenish energy urgently. But it is best to use it sparingly, otherwise it will reduce the purity of the soul crystal."

What a strange usage. I thought it was the blue bottle in Western fantasy.

He smashed it to pieces, took out his hunter's musket and fired a shot, and it really ignited.

Soul energy, but similar to the "spark", it cannot be incorporated into the devil's heart, and I don't know if the seniors can use it.

Yuki was bored and didn't bother to think about where this energy came from. He simply asked, "What did you mean by saying that besides monsters, there are also enemies?"

"Oh, those are the opponents of the Tower Explorers Alliance. They say that the tower should not be activated. They are just a bunch of bastards who can't stand to see others doing well." Peggy's face was full of hatred, as if she had a grudge.

Oh, this is the rebel in the background story.

Yuki remembered the introduction before the prompt. How to put it, these rebels are definitely not mainstream.

Commoners need towers so they can enjoy grand festivals; merchants need towers so they can make profits for ten years; wizards need towers because it is a shortcut for them to achieve class transition. Everyone who is determined to have the talent of a "wizard" at birth will devote all his life's energy to the adventure of becoming a "tower explorer".

The nobles also need towers. Leaving dreams for wizards is better than letting them do nothing and cause chaos everywhere. Every selection is a leap in class, accompanied by countless transactions.

So why would anyone oppose something that has no disadvantages and only benefits?

'Try to capture a few of the rebels alive.'

Yuki glanced at Philen, his idea was very simple. At this time, a huge trumpet sounded, making the already bustling town even more frenzied.

No one from the alliance showed up, but the king who ruled this place came in person with his nobles. Flags were flying in the center of the town, and a high platform was set up to pray for the explorers before they set out.

At this time, Yuki discovered that there were not many people who actually explored the tower. The largest team was only five people, accompanied by mercenaries or the regular army of the kingdom in good order.

According to Hiyori, the noble tower explorers can cooperate.

Yuki took note of the faces of everyone on the stage and scanned every person with the same energy fluctuations. They were neither weak nor strong. The team configuration was similar to the Western fantasy adventure team in his memory. With them as the core, they were equipped with an elite army of at least a hundred people.

Wizards with swords, wizards with staffs, wizards riding warhorses...

The equipment of those tower explorers was even more gorgeous, but they had all kinds of strange decorations on their bodies.

There are necklaces made of finger bones and skulls on breastplates, which look strange on standard Western fantasy equipment. Switching to the demon's vision, these bones are like faint black holes, appearing very pure in this world.

"Are these the strongest people selected by each force?"

"Not necessarily. The selection process is full of transactions. Did you see that blond young man? He is the second prince of the kingdom. And the one holding the staff is the concubine of the Grand Duke next door. They form an alliance." Peggy's face was full of contempt. The alliance was only responsible for allocating quotas. The nobles had more advantages than the common people. No matter how talented they were, they could not withstand others who were better equipped and had more helpers.

Yuki nodded slightly. He had inquired about it. The so-called selection was not just a simple competition. There were many tricks involved. Then, the nobles would train a son to participate, and if that didn't work, they would adopt a son.

It is said to be a shortcut to class advancement, but in fact most of the meat is rotten in the pot.

"This is a great help to me. If it's as fair as 'Blood Disaster', I guess all the people selected will be monster-level masters who have experienced hundreds of battles." Yuki muttered softly. There is nothing new in the world, and this is beneficial to the players.

The second prince with blond hair and handsome appearance is at the monster level, but his strength is too weak, and Philen can kill him alone.

"Are you really not going to say hello?" Peggy rubbed her hands, nervously but kindly reminding him, "If you're too disrespectful, you might be targeted. Tower explorers can cooperate, but they often face off. If a fight breaks out between you, I wouldn't dare intervene."

His eyes were full of anticipation, and it was unclear whether he was expecting Yuki to agree or refuse.

"Do they dare to kill me halfway?"

"Well, that's not the case. The alliance has a rule that you can't start a war with each other before entering the tower for the first time, otherwise you will be deprived of your spot in the next tower exploration."

The first time, that is to say, when I go in and come out, I am not protected and my place is deprived. This thing has no restrictions on players.

Yuuki felt relieved and waved.

"Not interested, not necessary. Tell everyone to follow us. We're going to the tower."

The player finishes the main storyline and leaves, and you are taking revenge on him.

......

"Your Majesty, the chosen tower explorer didn't come. This is really rude."

The departure of hundreds of people was naturally witnessed clearly from the platform. In the Red Earth Continent, towers were strategic resources, which was why every kingdom treasured the quota.

"How many groups of chosen tower explorers are there in the kingdom?" asked the white-haired king holding a golden cup, his triangular eyes glancing at the departing team.

"There are now two groups, and they are all very rude."

"The Shura Tower is an asset of our Meso Kingdom, but unless they are related to the rebels, don't provoke them easily." He cast his eyes on the stage. There were five groups of tower explorers here. Even if the kingdom only had one spot, the tower was within the territory.

The tower explorers selected by the neighboring principalities and city-states formed an alliance with them. Except for a team of tower explorers wearing black robes and directly under the alliance who were not under their control, the other teams had clear tasks and the harvest was divided proportionally.

What era is it now? Are you still thinking about activating the tower to obtain God's assets?

......

These human forces are completely different from the "Blood Disaster". They talk about glory, but they only care about business.

At the same time, Yuki walked into the mountains, where there were lush vegetation and flowing rivers. It was a great place for camping in spring.

The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the sound of birdsong filled his ears. Yuki was riding on a magical beast that looked like a cow and a horse, and was watching the surrounding scenery with great interest, but he could hear the gentle report of Hiyori in his ears.

Next door was a principality called 'Fulda', and the Grand Duke's invitation to them was naturally not about something as boring as obtaining genetic information, but about proposing an alliance.

The principality provided all conveniences and sent the most elite regular army to clear the periphery. In return, Mai had to help their explorers after entering the tower and ensure that the harvest was transported out before the tower was activated.

This is not a tower exploration adventure at all, it's just a hunt. Every seventy years, the various forces on the Red Earth Continent will reap a lot of rewards.

"No wonder these natives haven't thought of changing their goals. It turns out they've been preparing for this for a long time. It would be best if they could complete the second stage and obtain the legacy of the witch god. If not, they can still make a good profit."

Yuki turned his head and looked at Philen for a moment. The latter was not surprised at all and thought that it was more in line with human nature to do so.

The tower explorers have never succeeded once and have been wiped out every time. Isn’t it better for them to become sacrifices for the development of mankind?

Yuuki didn't bother to taunt him, as his route of attack was completely opposite to his senpai's, and since the natives considered the tower their personal property, it was clear what to do about their disrespect.

It's okay to start with 'hostile' reputation, but what can I say, these kingdoms are too weak.

"There are no immortal species on the Red Earth Continent. The energy particles in the air are harmful. The average person's lifespan does not exceed fifty years. Even wizards who can wield this power will be eroded. No matter how powerful they are, they will not live past seventy. After entering old age, their physical fitness will decline rapidly. Therefore, the problem of the hidden old monster you are worried about does not exist."

"Wizards are divided into four levels based on their strength. The mercenary next to you, named Peggy, is a Level 2 wizard, which confirms the information. Tower explorers generally have the qualifications of a Level 1 wizard, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of a Transcendent III to Monster I player."

"The monsters on the continent are called witch beasts. Legend has it that they are the flesh and blood of the witch god. They produce something called 'soul crystals', which are the source of the wizard's power. Yes, they are the same as those you see on mercenaries and various creatures."

"By the way, the literature also mentions a type of human called the 'Soulless'. There's very little information about them. They are born unable to use soul crystals and are generally persecuted. There's news that they are connected to the rebels."

Hiyori turned on the feature 'Shared Reading'. Yuki was riding a horse on the surface, but in his mind he was actually attending a meeting with virtual images of everyone in front of him.

This is a bit like Johnny Silverhand's Cyber ​​Conference, but it is fundamentally different from the Sea of ​​Data, and it is also the premise for Yuki to become more and more daring in grouping.

Everyone was so lifelike and there was no delay at all. Philen was surprised and felt that he had underestimated this most inconspicuous girl.

The sense of belonging to a team does not only come from comfort, but also because this player team is extremely professional. The reason why Miss Mai agreed to the alliance was because she had her eyes on Grand Duke Fulda's identity as a "scholar". Their condition was to enter the largest library in the Red Earth Continent, and then a terrible thing happened.

Shiina Hiyori activated his special ability, used the Void Puppet, split himself into four and started reading. He extracted a huge amount of information from the sea of ​​books in just one night. No wonder Sky Island Yuuki was so idle that he wanted to wander around with him. It turned out that someone had been gathering intelligence for a long time.

People may lie to you, but books will not. Even if there is a problem with one book, you can definitely find the truth by comparing it with a hundred books. Add in future reasoning and you have a supercomputer that can act.

"Well done, I almost understand the common knowledge of the dungeon. Do you have any information about the 'Witch God'?" Yuuki's expression was calm. This was basic operation for Hiyori.
