Seeing this, the right side suddenly became interested.
You have to know that from the beginning of the Academy War to now, he has always been the one running to the areas initiated by other players to carry out rescue operations. When he thought about it carefully, he really has never issued a story mission as the initiator.
However, he is not very willing to use either Misaki High School or Mahora Academy as the plot location, mainly because he does not want unfamiliar NPCs and players to interfere with his campus.
After studying it for a while, Youfang suddenly thought of a point.
"Hmm? Can I use the area that I currently only have the right to explore but has not yet explored as the plot development area?"
Youfang got a positive answer, which made him feel relieved. He didn't have to worry about his own campus being the best.
A call was made on the right side, and soon received a positive response and a system prompt.
[You have been invited by "Minamino Hideichi", a player from "Private Alliance High School", and have obtained the qualification to cross the "Bone-Eating Well" to the "Warring States Singularity" area. As an invitee, you currently only have entry authority. ]
Since all the people invited by Asakura Hao are NPCs and players with professions related to Onmyoji, then this singularity full of monsters and demons mentioned by Kurama and others before should be the most suitable place for everyone to display their abilities and test themselves.
In fact, Youfang made this decision just on the spur of the moment. In fact, he had no idea what the situation was like over there.
Kurama gave the last invitation spot to Youfang purely for fun, and the first two invitation spots were given to Asakura Ye and Hanabishi Reikao respectively.
As for the plot goal...
"Um, what is the most precious thing in that area? The Samurai Shodown Jade or the Shikon Egg? Is it gold or silver? Why not just call it Gintama?"
It was actually quite good that Youfang could remember the general idea. He didn't listen very carefully at the time, so he didn't remember it completely. He could only vaguely remember that it was a silver ball-like thing.
In short, the plot goal was hastily set by the right side as something unknown, jade or egg.
What may be the most puzzling side story event since the game was released has just been revealed.
All players who received the invalidation notice of story missions and some players who met the participation requirements received a new side story email.
[The invalid plot event "The Strongest Onmyoji Decisive Battle" was changed to "Gintama"]
[Story Event: GINTAMA]
[Plot description: Due to some force majeure, in this already too magical singularity of the Warring States period, a silver ball with powerful power was shattered, and the fragments scattered, becoming the source of power for many demons and powerful people. ]
[Plot goal: Find these "Gintama fragments" and reassemble them into a round sphere.]
[Story publisher: "Tono Shiki", a player of "Misaki High School". ]
【Poster's message: TAMA hunting has begun! 】
[Participation requirements: Possessing occupations or skills related to Onmyoji, Ninja, Swordsman, etc.]
【Number of participants: No limit, come if you want. 】
[Participation Rewards: Gintama, Harvest Fruit*100 (Eat them to death!)]
[Additional explanation: This branch plot is a free branch plot, without any rigid indicators. Participants can exit the plot at any time, but once they choose to exit, it will be regarded as a failure and they cannot enter again. At the same time, if they have "Gintama fragments" on them, they will be randomly scattered again. ]
This new side quest exudes a perfunctory and spoofy atmosphere from beginning to end. Not only is the difficulty basically unknown, but the rewards are also not very interesting. However, there are two key points that everyone is paying attention to.
One is the task issuer, "Tono Shiki", who has gained various strange reputations in various campus activities. There are rumors that he is the best in combat power, some rumors that he disrupted the beauty pageant by wearing women's clothes, and some rumors that he cheated and was torn apart by a car. Anyway, there are many different opinions. The mystery of this player alone is enough to attract the attention of players.
The second one is the two annotations "Come if you want" and "I'll eat you to death", which is really infuriating.
It would be fine if the rewards were perfunctory, but there was also public ridicule. How could people not be angry?
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Even if Youfang is really the strongest among combat players, there are still people who are dissatisfied with Youfang. And there are quite a few such people. Many players who only know Youfang from various videos, text materials and other people's words but have never really met Youfang think that this is an exaggeration and that Youfang is hiring water soldiers to hype himself up.
And this time, they have a chance.
While sipping coffee with his legs crossed in his living room, he glanced at the number of participants to the right and then spat out a mouthful of coffee.
After turning off the prompt sound, Youfang saw the number of players joining the team, which obviously exceeded his previous expectations.
"Is everyone so interested in the silver eggs and the fruits in my house?"
Youfang muttered to himself, and it was obvious that he didn't get the main reason why the players participated...
Chapter 682: The Warring States Period Singularity
There is about an hour left in the game before the side story officially begins. Youfang and his friends gather together. The location is naturally the family restaurant "Vagunaria" in the online commercial street they often go to, which is rated by everyone as the "most addictive" family restaurant.
The food here is very good, the place is spacious enough, and the waiters are all handsome men and beautiful women. It can be said to be the first choice place for good quality and low price.
On the right, a group of them gathered at the largest non-smoking seat, chatting while eating French fries, chicken wings and other things.
Although Kurama does not meet the invitation requirements of the "Gintama" plot, as one of the players who opened the map, he can ignore the conditions and participate.
Asakura Ye and Hanabishi Reikao are a psychic and a Naruto respectively, so even if they are not participants, they still meet the participation requirements.
I heard from Kurama that there is also a female player named "Higuru Kagome" who is also one of the map developers. She is also the protagonist of the original Warring States period area. Although her own importance has decreased a lot because of becoming a singularity, she should still be able to participate.
This made the group of pilot players who mainly participated in the mecha battle map activities, as well as the big muscular guys like Makoto, couldn't help but show envious looks towards them on the right. Unfortunately, their fighting tendencies could not meet the requirements for participating in this brawl, so they were very sad.
From this point of view, it is sometimes beneficial to diversify the types of skills you have.
"Speaking of which, this plot should be a continuation of the plot you have experienced, right?"
The right one asked Kurama.
"Well, that should be the case. After all, my save file is still there, and I'm still using the original map. It's impossible to just delete it. I have some connections there."
Kurama pinched his chin and answered the right side in a handsome and compelling manner.
This guy's attractive face has almost become a skill for both men and women. Even if he doesn't do anything intentionally, his lethality is still very strong. The fact that the table next to his group on the right is mostly made up of girls is sufficient proof of his powerful looks.
After all, it was natural that he was on the top of the beauty pageant list of handsome men, and his name had quickly spread among the girls.
Compared with other handsome men, Kurama's extra points are that due to his own reasons, he never has any one-on-one contact with any other girls, and he also has no partner of the opposite or same sex, which makes his "all-match CP" personality almost unshakable.
"But this time we are competitors."
Kurama smiled to his right.
"I am no match for you in a simple fight, but I am an expert in finding treasures. After all, I am a thief from the demon world."
"Isn't it just a piece of egg? How can it be a treasure?"
The person on the right looked confused.
It seems that he, the initiator of the plot event, still hasn't figured out what the "Four Souls Jade" is, which he forcibly changed the name to "Gintama".
Kurama was stunned, and then he felt unwell.
"That's not an egg! It's jade! The Four Souls Jade! Just a fragment of that can greatly increase the power of a demon!"
Kurama was slightly excited, but he still lowered his voice to the extreme and spoke to the right side with a look that said "What the hell have you heard before!"
"And once all the fragments are gathered together, the complete Four Souls Jade will have a wish-granting effect similar to the Dragon Balls! It can grant one wish!"
The person on the right looked shocked.
Is this silver egg so awesome?
Kurama began to talk incessantly about the awesomeness of the Shikon Jade. The Shikon Jade had an extremely strong attraction even for a former demon like him who had been reincarnated as a human, not to mention those real demons in active service.
To put it bluntly, the attraction of the Four Souls Jade to demons is similar to that of an untrained, horny Makoto seeing a naked woman with seductive eyes in the wilderness. It's an instinctive action, and he can't control himself at all.
The people on the right calmed down as they listened.
Isn't it just the Holy Grail before it was contaminated? The contaminated fragments of the Holy Grail are still in the Primordial Sea.
The operating mechanism of this kind of thing is quite familiar to the right. The wishes you make must be within your means. Once they are contaminated and eroded by evil forces, it is easy to get into a worse situation.
Combined with the general setting background of the currently known Warring States singularities, it is estimated that the scattered fragments are most likely already contaminated.
Maybe it’s really awesome, but the target audience is actually limited.
"Hey, have you forgotten me?"
Emiya Shirou, who was freed from the heavy housework, raised his eyebrows and looked at them on the right.
"Oh, by the way, it seems you also have a swordsman-related profession."
Pushing away Kurama's handsome face that kept coming closer, Youfang continued.
"To be exact, it's a knife maker, a somewhat special derivative profession."
At this point, Emiya Shirou first raised his head proudly, then frowned.
"I took a look at the information prompt, and it said that my joining is likely to cause further changes in the background setting of the Warring States Singularity."
"It doesn't matter. The background of this singularity is already chaotic enough. I don't have to worry about too much debt."
The right side waved his hand to indicate that it was no big deal.
A group of players who looked like older kids were making a lot of noise for a long time, and it was already time to enter the side story.
The figures of Youfang, Kurama, Asakura Ye, Hanabishi Reika, and Emiya Shirou were teleported out at the same time.
At this time, the other players who were unable to play together suddenly came to their senses.
These bastards are deliberately running away from paying!
Who pays for their food?
Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
At this time, with Izumi Shinichi being the first to stand up and say that he wanted to go to the toilet, everyone seemed to be infected by frequent urination and stood up one after another. It was self-evident what they wanted to do.
The cashier at Wagunaria, who is about the height of an elementary school student but has breasts like a monster, put her hand on the alarm button when she saw this. As soon as she pressed it, the MEGA Emeralds and the Misaka sisters who were patrolling nearby would rush to the scene as soon as possible.
……
[A large number of players are detected connecting to a new open area...]
[A new area has been temporarily added to your personal map - the Warring States Period singularity. ]
[You will be randomly scattered across the map, and you will generate corresponding identities based on your experiences. ]
[Don't look at the Warring States Period here from a historical perspective. This is a real place of chaos and demons. Demons and powerful humans can be seen everywhere. There is almost no so-called peaceful place. What you have to do is to collect the "Gintama fragments" scattered everywhere in such a dangerous area.
However, it is not only the demons who need the "Gintama Fragments", you may also have to face the hostility from some powerful humans, and your initial behavior may directly determine the division of your camp in this world. 】
【Note that the holders of "Gintama Fragments" will attract each other. 】
Chapter 683: The Destitute Dojo Master
"Ah! It's so dazzling!"
Maybe because he was used to living with Elquet, Youfang had some vampire tendencies. When he found the sunlight shining directly into his eyes, he began to call out habitually.
But it was just two calls.
He looked around and saw that he was in an ancient kendo dojo with its doors open to the right.
Because the Shinmei-ryu's base dojo in Mahoura is also antique and built according to the dojo of the past, there is a strong sense of déjà vu on the right.
Although the interior is too simple, and can even be described as shabby judging by the dust and dilapidated state of the surrounding walls and floors, it is still a kendo dojo.
While looking around, he found behind him a wooden plaque hanging in the middle of the wall. It seemed to be somewhat out of place with the slightly shabby environment.
The words "Shen" and "Ming" are engraved in angular font from top to bottom.
...Is this the dojo of the Shenming Ryu?
Youfang lowered his head and began to look at himself. He found that the dark blue Zhongshan suit school uniform he had stored at home for about a hundred or eighty sets had been replaced with a set of gray top and black bottom straight tail and hakama. This typical swordsman costume was seen by Youfang in the Shenming Ryu. Basically, only male swordsmen dressed like this.
It seems that the system has forcibly changed my clothes to a style that is more in line with this era.
Suddenly Youfang realized something and frantically touched his head. When he touched a familiar hairstyle, he was somewhat relieved.
If this becomes the right side of the hairstyle, I would probably quit the game immediately.
Sometimes hair is more important than life...
After some trouble, Youfang stuffed the two knives, one black and one white, in front of him into the left and right sides of his hakama. Although it was not as convenient as a Zhongshan suit, it was nice to experience it occasionally, just like COSPLAY. During the process, he took a quick look at his crotch and found that it was his boxer briefs instead of a loincloth that protected his little brother, which made Youfang feel very relieved.
At this moment, a system prompt suddenly popped up.
【Through observation, you discovered the highlights. 】
[Your identity in the current area is "Master of the Tono Dojo of the Shinming Style Sword Art Branch - Tono Shiki." ]
[You were born in the Shinmei-ryu, which is a school that can slay demons but is not as famous as the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu because of its seclusion in the mountains. You overestimated your own capabilities and chose to build a dojo in Edo. Due to various reasons, such as the deliberate suppression by the Yagyu dojo, which is also a fellow school, you are the only one in the entire Tono dojo, without any disciples. Soon, you will even face the terrible event of rent collection at your door when you are short of money and hungry...]
"Fuck, this is kind of miserable."
After reading this identity description, the person on the right couldn't help but curse.
