Huaye left.

Miyu approached cautiously, "Miyako...is it appropriate to offend the head of the defense room like this? I've read in books that in this kind of situation, you'll get punished, right?"

"If I give in under this level of coercion, what will become of the justice I've upheld so far?"

Miyako reached out and touched Miyu's little head: "Of course, I don't ask everyone to uphold my justice. This is my own insistence. If you want to join the defense room, I won't stop you."

"N-No! I'm not betraying Miyako!"

Miyu hurriedly expressed her determination: "With my personality, if I go to the defense room, I will definitely be forgotten in the corner, right?"

"No one called me to eat, no one reminded me to oversleep, and I was evacuated without taking my belongings after completing the mission..."

Feeling that Miyu's mood was getting lower and lower as she spoke, Miyako quickly woke her up from her reverie: "Alright, alright! Don't think about something that hasn't happened—is Ranwu over there here asking you to come along?"

Miyu looked up and saw Lan Wu, who had just returned from her shift, in the distance. She was still carrying her shotgun like a baseball bat, just like before. She spotted Miyu from a distance and started waving and greeting her, "Hey! Miyu! Want to go get some cake together? We have a discounted set meal for two, let's go together!"

"Oh~? When did you two become so close?" Saki narrowed his eyes in confusion. "That Ranwu, I remember she was the big sister of the Steel Helmets, right? Her personality is completely different from Miyu's. Are you two friends now?"

"Are we, are we friends?" Miyu was stunned for a moment: "Really? In Saki's eyes, are Ranwu and I friends?"

"Since I asked you to go eat cake with me, you must be a friend, right?" Saki muttered, "How should I know? No one invited me to eat cake anyway."

"Jealous?" Miyako's eyes curved as she looked at Saki beside her: "Do you want me to treat you?"

"Captain, where do you get the money?" Saki looked at Miyako strangely. "We don't have time to work, do we?"

"There's still quite a bit of money left from previous scholarships." Miyako pulled out a card. "If Dan Lidou hadn't invited us to come to Dream High School, I would probably have used this money to subsidize everyone's lives."

Hanaya, who was near the school gate, looked at the teaching building behind her. When she walked out of the door just now, she was sure that she did not see Yumei coming out with her.

Looking towards the school gate, Yumei was still registering incoming students. The only difference was that the queue at the gate had decreased significantly, while the number of students being guided by senior students to familiarize themselves with the school environment had increased significantly. It was clear that a lot of registration work had been completed during the time she had been there.

"...Is it really a clone jutsu?"

Until she returned to the defense room, Hanaya still hadn't figured out what was going on. That night, Hanaya couldn't sleep for the first time in a long time, and she felt that Yumei was everywhere.

338. So sensei, what is the price?

Hanaya's sudden visit did not become a cause of concern for the Rabbit Team and others who were still in Dream High School. Miyako was opposed to Hanaya's proposal to "help restore the SRT Special Academy."

SRT, which is kept safe by the defense room, will not be able to concentrate on being the executor of "justice" for various reasons. From Hanaya's eyes, Miyako has seen her attitude towards SRT.

"What she needs is the power of SRT to help her achieve certain goals."

Miyako said to her teammates: "And this purpose is definitely not simply to realize the philosophy of SRT."

"Her eyes are different from the president's."

It's hard to believe, but that's what's called a 'feeling'. What Miyako saw in the previous student council president's eyes, she didn't see in Hanaya's.

As long as this point can be confirmed, it will be enough for Miyako to reject Hanaya's proposal.

"Let's focus on the Challenge Tower right before us, shall we?" Saki gestured towards the gradually forming arena before them. "This time, it's the three of us, plus a Dream student, who will conquer the Challenge Tower."

"Where's Miyu?" Menghui bit off her lollipop and asked vaguely, "Where did she go?"

Gongzi checked her weapon and nodded, "Didn't I tell you? She went out with Lanwu."

The Dream student who was named as the team leader felt like she had been blessed with a lucky break. Originally, she was supposed to form a team with two other students and invite an elite member of the Rabbit Team for support. Unexpectedly, she was directly invited by three elite members of the Rabbit Team.

"Today must be my lucky day! I'm probably going to be able to reach the medium-difficulty level this time!" The dreaming student even pinched his face to make sure he was dreaming. "Yay! I'm flying!"

Huanmeng Group, President's Office.

"Mr. Danrito, are you planning... a Chronicle event?"

Yumei, who was standing by, watched Danrito making various modifications to a blank cassette. His hands moved so fast that two keyboards were broken. The newly replaced keyboard in front of him also began to emit white smoke under Danrito's high-speed destruction.

"Yes, the Trinity Chronicles event is about to begin. In order to attract these Trinity ladies to devote themselves to my game, I'm adding more things to the event."

Danrito's hands were clacking non-stop. Although he no longer needed any peripherals to operate the computer after becoming a Collapse Body, how should he put it... Without typing on the keyboard, he would be soulless!

“The overall theme of Trinity Chronicles will be ‘random dungeons.’ Compared to the previous highly competitive game, the enemies this time will be various monsters generated by programs.”

"Without anyone knowing the strategy, you'll be 'opening up' the dungeon maze, reaching the center of the dungeon as quickly as possible, and defeating the final enemy. This is how you'll play the Trinity Chronicles event."

Yumei pondered for a moment and said, "Is this also... an adjustment made to fit in with Trinity's school culture of numerous factions? If it were still the same Battle Royale competition, Trinity would have seen cheating tactics by forming teams outside the stadium... Is that your consideration?"

"Actually, I'm not against cheating." Danrito paused. "My game isn't one that can be conquered with just those crude cheats."

"Although I've removed the upper limit on the number of players in a team this time," Danrito said, smiling happily for some reason, "the difficulty of this game will be dynamically adjusted based on the number of players in the group."

"The larger the team, the more difficult it is to deal with. Although in the early stages of the dungeon maze, you will be faster than other opponents due to the advantage of numbers, but when facing the boss in the end, the more people there are, the more difficult the final battle will be~"

"Besides, the larger the team, the less likely it is that they will be united internally, right?"

The random dungeon, generated at the start of the event, consists of hundreds of rooms, spanning five floors. It's incredibly challenging, and it's no exaggeration to call it a "freak level." It contains various traps, computer-generated enemies, and, of course, special enhancements for the participating students.

"A dungeon this difficult, the students will have a hard time playing it, right?" Yumei wondered, "Can a game like this really bring people joy?"

“This is certainly not a game you can complete in one go.”

Danrito cast his gaze upon the data on the screen. The simulation data seemed to roughly align with his thoughts: "Every time you 'die' while clearing a dungeon, you'll be reborn back to the starting position. The 'Dream Points' accumulated during the dungeon clearing process can be used to selectively strengthen yourself after rebirth."

"Strengthen your weapons, strengthen your body, unlock a new skill tree, and add all these enhancements to your body. Add to that the 'strengthening items' dropped by elite enemies and treasure chest rooms in the dungeon, and every contestant will be able to pass the final boss level."

Yumei was stunned for a moment: "Then... if we do this, then everyone will be able to pass the level. How will we determine the winner then?"

Danrito stood up straight. "Just calculate the total clearance time and the number of rebirths."

"Everyone's clearance time starts counting from the start of the match, and the team's time is calculated synchronously. Even if you die and respawn, the timer will not stop. If someone's clearance time is the same, the difference will be determined based on the number of respawns."

At this point, Yumei suddenly remembered something. After briefly reviewing her memories, she reminded Dan Lidou, "Mr. Dan Lidou, your scheduled promotional interview for the Kivotos TV event is almost over. It's time to leave now."

"It's already this time," Danrito nodded. "Have someone contact the Trinity tea party and tell them that the big one is coming."

The part of discussing the details with everyone at the tea party was handed over to the employees below, while Dan Lidou himself went to the Kivotos TV Tower with Yumei. This is the most official and authoritative TV channel in Kivotos. In order to advertise here, Dan Lidou spent a lot of credit points.

"Hello everyone! This is Kivotos TV! We're bringing you the latest news about the upcoming Trinity Chronicles event from the Dream Corp!"

A face familiar to everyone, the TV host Shiyin, is now sitting in the interview room, skillfully asking questions to the guests beside her.

The special guest sitting nearby was naturally Dan Lidou, who had come by invitation. However, rather than being invited, it was more like a publicity event organized by Dan Lidou himself with his own money.

"Hello everyone, I'm Danrito, the president of the Dream Group."

Danrito spoke eloquently to the camera, his bossy posture giving the staff a glimpse into the cultivation of a domineering CEO. After a brief interaction with the smiling host Shion, the two of them tacitly steered the conversation towards the upcoming report on the "Trinity Chronicle."

"I'm sure everyone in Kivotos has heard of the Chronicles event. Did the last Abydos Chronicles event leave a deep impression on you?"

Shion handed the microphone to Danrito, who was standing nearby. "Mr. Danrito! I heard that this Trinity Chronicle event will be a completely different experience. Is that true?"

"That's right. This time, the Holy Trinity Chronicle event will use teamwork and attack speed as the ultimate victory conditions."

Danrito briefly revealed the rules of the Chronicle event, and spent the rest of the time announcing the generous prizes of this Trinity Chronicle.

Since Trinity is a place full of rich girls, and there are few students who are short of money, Danrito simply raised the ranking rewards a bit, and took rarity into consideration. From hard-to-get peripheral products, to custom-made items from popular stores, to luxury travel packages in collaboration with Odyssey Marine Academy and Highland Railway Academy, and most importantly—the commemorative edition of the Trinity Chronicles cartridge.

"This commemorative edition of the Trinity Chronicles replay cartridge, available only during the first event, contains a unique secret. Only by obtaining this commemorative edition chronicle cartridge can you unlock a special storyline!"

Danrito took out the unfinished but almost finished copy of the "Chronicle of the Holy Trinity" and showed it to the camera.

Probably no one would have thought that the glittering gold-plated cassette that Danrito took out in his hand and displayed in front of the TV was actually a genuine Knight Turner cassette.

“Wow, that’s so cool~”

Shion clapped in agreement. "Everyone from Kivotos, registration for the Trinity Chronicle is about to begin. There's no restriction on academy status, so please sign up! After all, the prizes are truly generous!"

After the promotional and interview segment concluded, Dan Lidou left the broadcasting building, and Yumei, who was waiting outside, immediately followed him. "Mr. Dan Lidou, during the broadcast, many people came to inquire about how to register for the Trinity Chronicle event."

Dan Lidou nodded as expected: "Very good, everything is as I expected."

After hesitating for a moment, Yumei revealed her inner doubts to Danrito.

"Um, Mr. Danrito..."

Yumei organized her words and asked, "I feel like every action you take has a deeper meaning behind it. I originally thought the Chronicles event was just a large-scale event to support Abydos Academy."

"...But from what I've seen so far, it seems like you're really thinking about completing the chronicle series for other schools as well."

Yumi has been working as Danrito's assistant secretary for some time. Following Danrito closely and considering what happened in Abydos before, Yumi knows that the game cartridges that Danrito is researching have magical powers.

These magical transfer cartridges are different from the game versions sold on the market. Yumei also knows that among all the game cartridges with the same name, there is a knight transfer cartridge with special effects, and such cartridges are usually in the hands of Danrito and people he trusts.

If Danrito developed the Chronicles cartridge in order to enhance his own power, then it would be impossible for him to give the original "Abydos Chronicles" cartridge to Hoshino.

"You...are deliberately giving the power to play cassettes to the students. Why are you doing this?"

Yumei didn't understand, so adhering to the spirit of asking if she didn't understand, she simply asked Danrito directly to dispel the doubts in her heart.

"The enemy from beyond this world is coming."

Danrito's words alone made Yumei freeze in place.

"Eh? What does this sentence mean?"

"To put it simply, there's a very powerful guy who will invade Kivotos when the time comes."

Danrito tapped the Divine Billion cassette in his hand. "When I was dealing with the Eden Treaty between Trinity and Gehenna, I felt it when I fought that woman with the dragon fruit head. I'm afraid that woman made some arrangements before she died."

"Although to me, whatever this girl does is overestimating her own capabilities. But what she's doing is more like sending a signal than setting it up..."

Speaking of this, Danrito sheathed his Divine Limit X and scratched the back of his head. "Signals aren't like special devices that can be placed in place and then destroyed. By the time I realized what that woman was doing, the signal had already been sent. So... I'm afraid it can't be intercepted."

"This...this kind of thing, am I allowed to know?" Yumei blinked, and then realized that her question seemed... to have given an incredible answer?

"It doesn't matter. Once you know, you know."

Danrito shook his head. "I don't think you're the type to collapse easily. That's why some problems, hidden as they are, eventually become insurmountable problems. As for why I didn't make this public right away, it's because I certainly have a solution."

Danrito reached out from his game space and took out the Chronicle of the Holy Trinity, which was only one step away from completion.

Danrito lowered his head and thought for a moment. "Hmm... To put it simply, I used the power of the gaming domain to slightly envelop your universe—though it was only within a few tens of millions of light years. I slightly slowed down the speed of time within that area, so that guy would arrive more slowly."

"?"

Wu Huo Yi Scar Ling Jiu Ling Moxibustion

Yumei was a little confused from this sentence on. But she could still understand that Danrito's ability to adjust the flow of time within the universe must be a very powerful thing, right?

Yumei took a long time to react before finally uttering, "Well, since you're so powerful, why don't you just eliminate that enemy?"

"Because that guy is just a concept so far. It's hard to destroy a guy without a physical body. If we want to get rid of him, it's still a bit difficult to rely on God Billion alone."

Danrito is not very good at dealing with such conceptual things, and the enemies he observed seem to be just clones to the entire universe.

"These conceptual enemies usually use certain physical entities as vessels to descend, inserting themselves into these entities. Once the intangible transforms into the tangible, these enemies become easily defeated."

At this point, Danrito continued to explain, "The one you call teacher summoned me with the miraculous power of prayer. When he crossed the dimensional wall where time and space intersected, he also used his miraculous power to break the wall between time and space."

"This method can certainly summon me to this world, but it's like breaking a wall and revealing light from behind it..."

Danrito raised his head, gazing at the azure sky as if his gaze could penetrate the veil of heaven. "This beam of light has made the beings on the other side of the wall notice another world."

"So, just like that dark guy, the people from the Shumikai, said, this is a world with a storyline. When I came to this world, the storyline here was already stained by me."

"So, most likely, don't think that guy will stick to the original storyline when he comes."

"The miracle that changes the world comes at a price."

339. On Superior Firepower (

"Saki, enemy tanks are approaching at your three o'clock position."

"Leave it to me!"

Pressing the communication button next to his ear, Saki walked around for a distance, and poked his head out from the cover. He raised the anti-tank rocket launcher in his hand, aimed at the rear of the tank moving along the street, and pulled the trigger.

Along with the sound of the rocket's jet, just a few seconds later, the tank emitted a large cloud of black smoke and flames with two loud bangs, and the tank's turret was blown into the sky.

"It's resolved. Menghui, are you sure this isn't a tank summoned by an elite enemy? I really don't want to experience being surrounded and beaten by 'sustainable tanks' again."

"—Don't worry, I'm looking up at the sky. I'll know the answer soon."

Menghui, who said this, was squatting in a remote small room. Next to her was the front-line control center that had just been set up. Next to her, a total of six drones had just taken off, and Menghui was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield through the screen in front of her.
