I am a reincarnation player.

"This secret is shocking, but I'm not at the level to touch it yet."

"We'll be there soon." Ryougi Shiki lowered his head and continued the tea ceremony. "You're close to the epic. Do you want to know the path ahead?"

Yuki immediately sat up straight and nodded without hesitation: "I will listen to the teachings of the senior."

"It's not really teaching. The prerequisite is to get an epic achievement, and then increase your score to burst the monsters. You can also stack chaos items or absorb various miscellaneous skills to increase your score, but I suggest you don't do that."

"Why?" Yuki thought to himself that this was a method used by the krypton gold flow or the breeding team.

“Before reaching epic level, it’s a process of quantitative change. But a truly strong player can have many skills and props, but not too many core abilities.”

Ryougi Shiki stared at Yuki, her eyes were blue and deep, as if connected to the roots, absorbing people's souls.

"Strengthen this core ability and use it as a sharp sword to slash the door to epic success. Only then can you achieve true qualitative change."

......

Yuuki left contentedly, and only mother and daughter were left in the room.

The tea was warm, emitting a sweet aroma. Ryougi Shiki knelt upright, the expression on her cold face changing. Mana sat obediently beside her, her blue eyes full of curiosity.

She rarely saw her mother with such a rich expression. The last time was when she found some key clues. She remembered that her mother was very excited at that time.

Just as I was thinking about it, a hand was placed on my head and gently stroked it.

"Mana, you did a great job."

"Well, I didn't expect that I could help my mother so much." Mana scratched her head. Her original intention was that she thought Yuki was very powerful and might be a good thug, and then she could use intelligence to keep him under control.

I never thought that the two parties would cooperate, but the content of the cooperation was related to my mother's wishes.

"This is cause and effect, indescribable cause and effect, just like a clue I stumbled upon." Ryougi Shiki didn't have the air of a charlatan, but every word he said spoke like the truth. "This Mr. Li is no ordinary person. It's because your 'manas' can't see through him that I decided to meet him."

"No player who can be hunted by the Judge is simple, but I think he is more mysterious."

Mysterious? Countless players possess this trait. Strength is key; without strength, no wish can be fulfilled. Strength without a path ultimately becomes a mere tool in the game.

Ryougi Shiki took a few steps and looked at the knight standing upright in the courtyard. There were many players who wanted to leave the game, but they were only qualified to do so after reaching Monster IV.

To this end, she decided to bet on the other party, and while handing over a task, she also paid a deposit.

He has good strength and a mysterious identity, but he is also surprisingly ignorant. Could it be that he has just ascended to heaven?

"Mom, is there really a way to go back?" Mana hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help it.

"Yes, and someone almost did it before." Ryougi Shiki refused to reveal the name, as if that would trigger cause and effect. "Mana, you go with him."

"what?"

"I have a feeling that this person is very important." Ryougi Shiki gently stroked the door frame, recalling the 'root' she had glimpsed when she was recounting the key clues.

I couldn’t see anything, but I was closely connected to the heritage, so after much hesitation, I made up my mind.

The most important thing is that my road is almost coming to an end and I don’t have time.

"You can sign a contract with him. The closer the better. I don't want to be thrown out of the game when that path becomes apparent."

Mana tilted his head, his blue eyes were extremely clear, as if he didn't understand.

Is this selling my daughter?

.......

Now I have no choice.

At the same time, Yuki was walking on the road at the border, passing by all kinds of players. The main task was pushed forward for a long time. Through a chance encounter, Yuki understood a lot of inside information.

It turns out that the border area was the base of the reincarnationists in the past. No wonder it needs to be connected with various outposts. This kind of connection is also a test. The closed world is not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

Many questions were answered, his horizons were broadened, and most importantly, Yuki finally had a clear path.

"Being a corporate slave within the framework of the reincarnation game is useless. Your boss won't sympathize with you just because you're ambitious. He'll only exploit you more. The problem is, this crappy game doesn't even bother to offer a good deal."

"You either die or keep going. Either way, He will not lose anything."

Yuki pursed his lips. What good would it be if he reached the stage of reincarnation? He might not be able to unify all the 'games' and become the only one?

This may be possible, but it is too far away and there are too many variables along the way.

"Then I can only place my bet on Taiyi. Although I don't understand what he is, he must have a grudge against the Samsara Game. In fact, he has always been protecting me."

Once the route is clear, the next step will become clear as day.

"First, continue to improve your strength and unlock the black sword. This is a necessary condition for approaching the truth. Second, cooperate with Ryougi Shiki. She is definitely the core figure of the return faction, and she will need cross-faction collaborators around her."

Ryougi Shiki is really taking a risk, but it's much better than just shouting a few slogans. As an epic player and one of the five Heroic Kings, she can also make up for Yuuki's weak foundation.

After all, there are only two copies after ascension, and I dare not do anything high-profile, so how can I find allies?

"But Sister Shiki is too cautious. As an ally, she actually assigned me a mission."

Yuki snorted, but felt much more at ease. After all, he was going against the game, so the more cautious the better. He didn't want to hide a spy of the Judge and expose himself.

"And the epic promotion, I knew there must be some trick to it, Sister Shi was a big help."

He finally understood what a true epic powerhouse was. There were many routes to reach this point. Just supporting the score was not very useful. Even if the energy changed to achieve a qualitative change, it would still be much weaker than those at the same level.

There is no shortcut to becoming stronger. If you insist on taking it, you will have to pay the price.

The best way is to use overall accumulation to reach the door, then use the most core ability to kick the door open, and then the foot that kicks the door will change 100%.

If you accumulate 32 specialization points and improve your physical fitness to LV9, you can also be promoted to epic, and there is a high probability that you will become a melee specialist.

If you invest madly in the Dark Furnace and can also take this step, you will become an epic prop player.

If you upgrade the demonic possession to LV6, it is possible to turn it into an epic demon.

If he continues to improve his ego characteristics, Yuki himself doesn't know what his character will become.

These are not the most core strengths, or the benefits are not big enough, because once the qualitative change is determined, you have to continue to improve along this path. In Yuki's eyes, these are too ordinary.

The power of the core should be able to connect all my skills, props, and bloodlines, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

He looked at the player panel again and again, and had a rough idea.

Soul power, or soul energy, is used by hunters with muskets, demonic possession, and soul infection.

But how can we guarantee 100% that the qualitative change is in the 'soul'?

Yuki thought for a long time and finally came up with some ideas.

"No rush. We're about to participate in a faction war, so maybe we can solve it."

Yuuki stopped and Kaguya sent him a message saying that she had completed the transaction of items with Ouroboros and asked him if he wanted to join them.

"The higher-ups of the War Orphans want to see you. Will you come?"

"No, Thorn Rose and I are not in the same camp. Don't expose it so that we can contact each other after returning." Yuki had already thought about it. The Judge was staring at Thorn Rose, and he had to let the seniors clear themselves quickly.

"I have adjusted your permission to accept missions to the fastest speed. Hurry and adapt to the props and prepare for the new mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sigh. The characteristic of the thorn rose has a weakness, which is that it can easily make players become useless.

"Stop complaining. Aren't you trying to compete with me? At the same frequency, you can't even smell my exhaust."

"Who wants to eat your exhaust? Okay, I'll get ready now!" Shinomiya Kaguya immediately became excited and wanted to complete ten copies a day and step on Yuki under her feet.

"Mr. Yuki, be careful. The Judge will definitely track you down again." Hiyori's voice came immediately.

"I'm just afraid that they won't come. If they run into you and me every time, even a fool would know that there is a direct connection." Yuki sneered. He was most afraid that the judge would target his seniors. Once was a coincidence, but what about the second time?

"The Judge might find you too. I've already sent you the plan. When the time comes, try to fool them. Don't keep focusing on Briarrose."

"Okay, Senior asked me to bring you a message, asking you to behave yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm always the most honest person." Yuuki rolled his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, "Hiyori, I'll take care of everything. If you need anything, just contact me by fax."

"Be careful, the Judge will come after you too."

He gave the Trans-Space Fax Machine to Hiyori, which could transmit messages across copies, allowing him to understand the progress.

"But we have been cleared of suspicion. Even the causal tracing has yielded no results." Hiyori was a little confused. Causal tracing was the highest level of tracking method, and the judge had already used it.

The result was of course invalid because they had never really come into contact with 'Taiyi'.

"It's always better to be careful. There's a super cunning guy among the judges." Yuki became extremely cautious just by the name 'Aizen'.

"Ok."

The communication was cut off, and Yuki took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried, but if he thought rationally, this team had experience in flying alone, had good coordination, and was very strong.

After dealing with the junk, Kaguya carefully selected two props.

One is a level 4 space-breaking spear, which is like the Flying Thunder God Kunai and can allow the user to teleport between three fixed coordinates; the other is a level 5 color-changing cloak, which can generate a special force field and blend into the environment optically and energetically.

The young lady did not just care about herself, but followed Yuki's order and bought a level 5 defense item for Philen.

Space arm armor creates a space fault that can block most attacks.

"They're all extremely valuable equipment with minimal side effects. Including the upgrades, they cost a total of 4,000 points. Damn, I've never been so generous with my money before."

Yuki gritted his teeth, and the three items drained all the team's points, and there were also spoils that Yuki hadn't even warmed up. This item flow was simply not something that ordinary players could get, but you get what you pay for, and the strength rating kept rising.

The strongest Hayasaka Ai is Monster II, Mai, Kaguya, and Philen have all reached Monster I, and even Shiina Hiyori is Extraordinary IV. They are a top-notch team in the entire Thorn Rose.

He is proficient in concealment, sniping, burst, decryption, scouting, and fire coverage. If there is anything he lacks, it is probably a meat shield.

"Well, I'll just spend the money to buy some peace of mind so I can focus on my plans."

Yuki stretched lazily. He must not be stingy when picking up girls. He was even more looking forward to the growth of his seniors and others. In this reincarnation game, they were the only ones who dared to fight with him regardless of gains and losses.

So the first step is to help the senior sister clear her name and fulfill the promotion conditions at the same time.

......

Half an hour later, Yuki arrived in front of a three-story building. It was an office building with a Japanese style. Well, it was the kind of building that often appeared in underworld companies in anime.

Is the office of the Evil Squad here?

Yuuki observed that this office was not as big as Ryougi Shiki's manor, and there were sneaky players watching around.

Ghosts, demons, and evil creatures are making full use of the setting that players cannot attack each other at the border.

Yuuki touched the Fool's Mask on his face. After it was upgraded to LV4, it could cause visual confusion to players below the monster level even without using it, so he adjusted his windbreaker.

His eyes immediately locked onto a zombie with a ferocious face and a long tongue, which came forward, its cataract-like eyes full of warnings.

They are as hostile as water and fire. I guess most camps don't have such "harmony".

"I advise you not to get close, otherwise..."

Before it could finish its words, Yuki had disappeared. The extraordinary zombie was stunned and looked back. The target had already disappeared into the corridor. He was horrified.

"This guy is so strong, he must not be an actor."

"It's hard to say. The player we intercepted last time also had Monster III, but his appearance fee was just higher."

"Stop talking nonsense and go check this person's background."

Yuki ignored the chaos on the street and walked up the stairs, only to see Kento Nanami leaning against the wall smoking with a strange look in his eyes.

Some admiration, some surprise.

"Your 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade' is quite lively. The spies have even come to the border area. What? Are you surprised?" Yuki patted the dust off his sleeves and raised his hand to catch the cigarette thrown to him.

"Not really. You're a big shot, how could you be afraid of these bastards?" Nanami Kento leaned forward to light Yuuki's cigarette, flicking the match. "I just didn't expect you to come so quickly and so resolutely."

The probability of most factions in the reincarnation game accepting tasks is about once a month. It has only been three days since the return, so it is the perfect time to get some sleep.

Then I had eliminated Hiruzen, arranged the arbitration meeting, met Ryougi Shiki, and even found time to date my senior and Hayasaka Ai.

Yuki realized that he was the true master of time management. He shook off the ash from his cigarette and said half-jokingly, "It's better to have too much debt than to be a burden. Besides, I can use your favors."

His experience as a time traveler has enabled him to be very good at making friends, and the Evil Extermination Team and the 'Hero Kingdom' are his most trustworthy friends.

"I'll help you, and then wait for you to help me. It doesn't matter if I make some sacrifices for this favor."

"We really hit it off, so there's less testing going on."

"No, this is the most rational way of thinking. It is my reward for following me to the end despite all your doubts in the Wizard Tower."

The two smiled at each other. Yuki was certainly not a fool, and all his actions were carefully considered.

Didn't the Anti-Evil Team realize they weren't players of the Aether Particle? Didn't they figure out that the Thorn Rose's close relationship was unusual? Didn't they realize the person they were chasing might be the Judge?

They all knew, but didn't ask, keeping their promise and punishing evil and promoting good.

"Come with me, senior is waiting for you." Nanami Kento turned around and opened the door.
