"Horror and mystery are the best bargaining chips. I don't need comrades, I just want them to be obedient, Senior."

"Ok?"

"Cool down my bloodline skills. I'm going to use my full strength to make sure they don't even have the slightest desire to resist!"

The black-haired girl suddenly appeared not far from the centaurs, which made Wu Beast terrified and finally understood why it was useless to hide.

But before it could retaliate, a swordsman surrounded by a halo fell from the sky and landed right in the center of the army formation.

Dozens of light spears pointed at him at the same time. The swordsman didn't even look at them. He lightly swung his long sword and wiped out the iron men and horses along with dozens of surrounding witch beasts from the world.

Without a trace.

Chapter 7: Quantitative Change Finally Achieves Qualitative Change (K)

God's sharp sword?

Andrew climbed to the top of the valley, put down his sword and gun, and shouted "Amen".

Inside and outside the valley, thousands of witch beasts all stopped, and then, starting from the head, their bodies turned into ashes and merged into the wind.

In just a few minutes, he single-handedly suppressed the battlefield. The impression was too deep.

They knew that the Iron Man was almost immortal and was the core of the chessboard. If they could destroy it, they would be able to pass the level immediately.

But the question is who can get close to this cunning centaur?

except him.

In the distance was a dense military formation. The center of the formation seemed to have been dug out. The soldiers and horses as well as the elite guards around them had all disappeared. The witch beasts that were turning into particles formed a thick fog.

Then, a foot stretched out from the mist, and the black-haired swordsman stroked the flying ashes in the air with his fingertips as if nothing had happened. He walked very slowly, but like a collapsing mountain. When you realize that the mountain has collapsed, it is too late to escape.

"He killed many people and participated in countless wars. He was a product of killing and war."

The blonde girl murmured to herself in a clear spring-like tone. This was one of the camp talents of the war orphans. War and killing could not escape her eyes.

Andrew and Bradley suddenly became more wary, and Hayasaka Ai tilted her head and looked at Shinomiya Kaguya with a puzzled look.

Yuki can indeed be described as ruthless and ruthless, but in past dungeons, the only thing that could be called a "war" was the global insect plague, not to mention the countless wars.

"Ms. Violet, is this person scary?" Hayasaka Ai's eyes were clear and full of curiosity.

"It's very scary. This kind of war animal is rarely seen in the game. Please believe my judgment, the smell of this animal cannot be faked." The blonde girl quietly hid the blood-stained halberd behind her, staring at the man with her jewel-like blue eyes, and did not notice the blonde maid's doubts.

Violet, 'Father' Andrew, and President Bradley, a strange combination, but they can indeed be called war orphans.

Yuuki also looked at the other party, seeing the fear in his eyes. He had come into contact with this camp before. He remembered that it was Tanya and Guts last time. And from the conversation between the two, it seemed that these people all belonged to the Ouroboros organization.

A team of players that can open a large trading ground at the border. Well, all three of them are monster-level, not inferior to the group of Fire Pillars. They are also considered a powerful team in the dungeon.

They are experienced and determined. Compared with them, the senior sister and others seem mediocre. Come to think of it, when Bradley was leading the military and political affairs of a country and killing Ishval in a bloody massacre, the senior sister was probably still in elementary school.

There is no halo of acquaintances in the reincarnation game, but once a character who is very powerful in the original world becomes a player, it is more natural for him to be promoted to a "monster".

"Headhunter, Li Dan." Yuki stopped a hundred meters away, glanced over, and saw that Hayasaka Ai's mouth twitched slightly. She probably wanted to complain about her own vest again.

"Hello, I'll go. Who will come?" Bradley took the lead. Seeing the maid take the initiative to step forward, he nodded slightly, "Wait for my signal. If he wants to harm us, provide support immediately."

There were four monster-level players, three extraordinary-level players, and dozens of cannon fodder mercenaries. As long as the players were united, he was not afraid that Mr. Li would take hostile actions.

"Be careful."

Revolvers were loaded, swords and guns were raised, and the battle formation was deployed. With the support of his comrades, the President walked steadily. Why did the "war orphans" have the rule of not abandoning their comrades? It was for this moment.

'Thorny Rose' inadvertently passed the test. Facing a powerful monster IV player, not every camp can stand shoulder to shoulder.

"Sir, are you a solo player?"

Unexpectedly, Bradley's first words almost made Yuki draw his sword, and he relaxed a little after realizing that they could not be related to the pursuer.

"Why do you ask?"

"It's very simple. In the faction mission, the reincarnation game will arrange the difficulty according to the comprehensive strength of each faction. If you have teammates, isn't that cheating?" The President was surprised. This setting is considered secret, but it is not difficult for players of this level to find out.

Damn, there is such a setting.

Yuki really didn't know because he had never enjoyed this convenience. Every time he escaped death, he would quickly come to his senses.

Some things have changed in the new stage, such as the mission content, copy background, everything is related to the faction 'None'.

Oh, isn't it an illusion?

He suddenly realized something. When he was conquering the Shura Tower, he felt that the dungeon had become easier. In the past, it took a lot of effort to conquer a high tower. Then his active brain thought of another thing:

When he returned last time, he further unlocked the permissions. At that time, he had an indescribable sense of security, as if comforted by a mother. He just didn't understand it at the time, and ignored it because he had to change the permissions, but this feeling has always been hidden deep in his heart.

The permissions are unlocked. Is it helping me fight against the targeting of the reincarnation game and restore the normal settings?

The corners of his mouth widened little by little, and Yuki revealed a sinister smile, which made President Bradley feel creepy all over, and he thought to himself that he might have met a madman.

The game difficulty is arranged according to the comprehensive strength of the camps. Suppose there are ten camps in a mission, and the scores of each camp are different, representing the strength.

Top factions like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and War Orphans can be counted as 8 points, while weak teams like the Thorn Rose, which can only reach the lower limit of the dungeon difficulty, can be counted as 5 points.

But whether it is 8 points or 5 points, it is made up according to the players in the camp. For example, Monster I counts as 2 points, Extraordinary counts as 1 point, and so on. There can even be "extreme" players as cannon fodder.

With the same score, the fewer people there are, the greater the score each player gets.

This setting is very fair, ensuring that no camp has an overwhelming advantage, just like Yuki has to pay a price to eat the war orphans.

Then the entire dungeon has a strength of about 16 points, ensuring that even the strongest player camp cannot take it alone, and they need to plunder each other or cooperate with each other.

"But I'm different. I'm on a cross-faction team. If I'm worth 8 points, the seniors are worth 5 points, and Philen is an ether particle, so he's worth at least 2 points. That adds up to 15 points."

"This is a qualitative change caused by quantitative change. After all, I was relatively weak before. If the difficulty of a dungeon is 10 points, the combined difficulty of me and my senior sisters is less than 5 points."

It's just a simple math problem. Just like at this moment, if he wants to eat the war orphans alone, he will have to pay a huge price, but if he adds the thorn rose, he will be crushed.

There is no need for contracts or transactions. The seniors will carry out all of your orders and even sacrifice themselves. This is an advantage that no other camp can obtain.

"This is a big BUG. Could it be that they want to get rid of me because of this reincarnation game?" Yuki took a breath, but seemed extremely excited. He suddenly discovered that he could use this BUG to fight against the game.

Is this person testing me?

Bradley almost ran away. He just mentioned a very ordinary setting, but Li Dan actually fell into deep thought, which made him completely confused. It was impossible for a strong man of this level to know nothing.

"Ahem, Mr. Li, just ask whatever you want to ask." Hayasaka Ai noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly acted as the supporting role. She had already guessed what Yuki was thinking.

Yuki quickly recovered himself, suppressed his surging emotions, and said calmly, "I want you to take control of the Tower of War."

This guy is really a lunatic!

Bradley's hand was already on the hilt of the knife. He didn't believe in good things that would fall from the sky. Was he planning to use them as cannon fodder or sacrifices?

He made a silent gesture, and his comrades in the distance were ready for battle, but at this time Shiina Hiyori took the initiative to rush forward, and Violet didn't hold him back.

"Huh, it turns out to be you who controls the Shura Tower." The girl was like a gambler, brimming with confidence, which reminded everyone why the alliance explorers retreated.

“That’s right. Each player can only control one tower.” Yuuki turned his head and looked. The oppressive feeling made the girl stop and tremble a little. Then Violet stood in front of him without hesitation.

Oh, I’ve gained a good friend.

Yuuki tried to remain cool as he saw Hiyori's little head pop out from behind the violet girl.

"I guess why you came. Can you tell me?"

"Woman, don't try to guess what the strong are thinking. Being too smart will lead to your own death," Yuuki warned, causing Hiyori to shrink back in fear.

But in his mind, the girl was so angry that she gagged, and Yuki waved his hands and apologized repeatedly, saying that he was too pretentious.

Bradley would never have imagined that the situation was tense in reality, but they were checking answers in the shared reading chat room, with the senior student squatting beside them with her hands on her face, even guiding every detail of their expressions.

"Pighead, hurry up, look at me with some appreciation and give up the initiative a little."

"Oh, that's right. Add a little more helplessness, and then you can tell them your true purpose. They will definitely not suspect it."

If the war orphans knew about this, they would vomit blood on the spot. How could this be an insider? The least noticeable Sakurajima Mai is actually the director.

Yuki was very obedient, and indeed showed a bit of admiration and helplessness. He also took the initiative to add to the drama, muttering something like 'No wonder he can survive until now despite being so weak. Wisdom is the biggest difference between humans and beasts' and other mysterious and impressive words.

He looked at Bradley with a calmness that said, "Since I've been seen through, I don't bother beating around the bush."

"I have taken control of the Shura Tower, but I have also become a target of public criticism. I need someone to share the pressure, and I also need someone to lead the characters into the next stage."

It's a very reasonable reason. Bradley has long known that players controlling the tower represents opportunities and risks, so the alliance is recruiting people to attack it in a hurry.

It’s good enough if the players can hold on, how can they bring others in?

"What plot character?"

Yuki said nothing, but took out the coffin from the domain. After opening it, there was a sound of gasps. Hayasaka Ai whispered a few words at the right time, and Bradley understood immediately.

Inside the coffin are dry bones. Each faction will gather intelligence and know more or less about the 'Soulless Ones'.

"So you have formed an alliance with the Soulless." Bradley nodded. The dead Soulless are so useful, not to mention the living ones.

"Yes, they are related to the Witch God, but the Shura Tower is surrounded like an iron barrel. I can rush in alone, but the losses will be too great if I bring a group of ordinary people with me." Yuki looked like he treated the soulless people as his personal property.

"Aren't you afraid of losing the Shura Tower?" Hayasaka Ai interrupted, suddenly realizing, "Do you have other factions to help you?"

"It's an alliance. Have you heard of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?"

Who hasn't heard of this? That camp is full of ruthless people, which is in line with Yuki's temperament.

The doubts are gradually fading, and the Hundred Demons Night Parade needs to protect its home, so he has to find other partners, and the cooperation between the two powerful camps is also one of the bargaining chips.

Everyone can guess that the second stage will be a fight between the two strongest alliances. Do they dare to turn against them after getting the benefits?

"Why did you come to us?"

“Because it’s the closest.”

This is the most illogical answer, but also the one that best fits the character. The strong are willful.

The logic was clear, and Bradley became impatient: "The tower can only be controlled by one faction. Which one do you choose?"

"Them." Yuuki pointed at Hayasaka Ai.

"why?"

"Because they're pleasing to the eye, and they're very weak, making it difficult for them to escape my control." Yuki's answer was impeccable. He pulled out a bamboo slip with the contents already written on it. "I'll help you master the Tower of War and pass the first stage directly. I'll also reward you with a large number of enhancement points. Will you sign this contract, or not?"

......

Once the contract is signed, it cannot be rejected and any normal person would agree to it.

There are certainly risks, but compared with the benefits, this is clearly a pie in the sky.

"I'm an alliance, and with the seniors watching over me, I have no fear of betrayal. Plus, with the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' incorporated into the Shura Tower system, I have control over the two strongest factions in this instance."

Yuki felt like he was about to lose with a dragon on his face. With two towers and two camps, he could start the second stage of the dungeon at any time. It was rare for him to be so relaxed.

Moreover, he learned from his senior that the war orphans attached great importance to their comrades, and he also had a complete plan on how to convince them.

It’s a pity that I can’t be close to the senior and Hayasaka anymore, I must not reveal our true relationship.

Yuki put on the fool mask based on Li Dan again. This ordinary-looking middle-aged office worker was given a more master-like demeanor by his strength. Anyway, every player stayed away from him.

There's no way around it. This character is too cold-blooded, using mercenaries as cannon fodder without any psychological burden. He's also too powerful. With a sharp spear tip, he reaches the last square on the chessboard in just half a day.

But despite their fear, the team was also filled with excitement. Every time they broke through a row of squares, it was equivalent to climbing up a level, and the rewards were real.

From the moment they enter the tower, every player gains 8 enhancement points without having to make huge sacrifices. Even if Yuki has a sour face, no one dares to offend this powerful person.

"Mr. Li, we're ready." Bradley approached with his hands behind his back, his aura of superiority evident. "It's much easier with you here. The last few grids hold the biggest rewards. Originally, several players would have died to get those rewards."

"How many reinforcement points?"

"Five. I originally thought getting three enhancement points in the first stage would be considered good." A smile crossed the president's face, and he tapped his lower back. "The reincarnation game is indeed a game where the strong always get stronger and the weak always get weaker. Even in the same dungeon, the difference in growth efficiency between the two sides is huge."

Very honest, or is it normal to have less than 4 reinforcement points in the first stage?

Yuki was testing him on purpose. At the moment, he was having a meeting with several senior students, discussing how to add some more food. However, this sentence touched him deeply.

Will the strong always be strong and the weak always be weak?

He still remembered the joy of Johnny Silverhand and others' bountiful harvest. It was a bit like when one person achieved success, everyone around him would benefit from it, just like his classmates were rapidly improving along with him.

With the two towers combined, Yuki gained more than 20 reinforcement points in the first phase. The two sides are not comparable at all. The essence is that Yuki is stronger and smarter than them, and he also encountered a game bug.

"You're very open."
