The scene changed.
Gurgling water rushed over rocks. The chirping of night insects echoed. Moonlight spilled down, illuminating everything...
This was a cliff waterfall somewhere within a dense forest.
Suddenly, groups of people landed on various large rocks in different batches.
Twelve people clad in bright red armor, swords hanging at their waists. Nine men, three women.
Seven people clad in black robes. Four men, three women.
Two burly strongmen and five timid people hiding behind them.
Youmei, Rara, and Lexon, a team of three.
In total, four teams, twenty-nine people.
Appearing here meant that all the Reincarnators present would be in the same faction.
No one spoke first; they were all sizing each other up.
The next moment, the Main God's mission information instantly appeared in their minds.
[Main Quest:
Participate in the Konoha Chunin Exams several years later, maintain the progress of the Chunin Exams, and obtain the title of Chunin.
Reward: 10,000 Samsara Points
Return is possible upon completion of the main quest.
(Time Limit: None)
Side Quests: Not yet opened
Note: This is a faction mission. Reincarnators from the opposing faction will enter the story world one year before the Chunin Exams.
Each kill of an ordinary Reincarnator from the enemy faction will grant 1000 Samsara Points.
Each kill of an elite Reincarnator from the enemy faction will grant 10,000 Samsara Points and 1 C-rank plot reward.]
'It seems the Reincarnators from the opposing faction will be very strong...'
After reading the information, Lexon couldn't help but ponder in his mind.
'The enemy faction's Reincarnators will only enter the story world one year before the Chunin Exams, while my faction's people have already entered several years in advance.'
'Comparatively, we have several extra years of development time, and many opportunities for our faction's Reincarnators to "build momentum" in the story world.'
'There's only one reason the Main God would do this... and that's because the opposing faction's Reincarnators are too strong.'
'So it wants to use this method to balance the strength of the two factions as much as possible.'
All the Reincarnators present were no fools and naturally understood this fact, so their faces were all grave.
The five timid people behind the two strongmen were even trembling, their faces showing fear.
"Everyone, please state your team names first... We are from Huazhou Team Two's Crimson Knight Troupe. I am the captain, Zhongh,"
After a long while, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor walked out from among the twelve people in red armor and spoke to the other Reincarnators.
A handsome young man leading the seven people in black robes said, "Zhongzhou Team Seven. I am the captain, Goshin."
Youmei glanced at Lexon and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so she spoke up herself, "Zhongzhou Team Four. I am the captain, Youmei."
"Zhongzhou Team Four?" one of the two strongmen turned his gaze to Youmei. "Where's that bastard Wokeng? How come a woman like you is the captain speaking?"
Clearly, their team had encountered Zhongzhou Team Four before.
And judging by the fluctuations in his tone and his defiant expression, there had obviously been conflict.
"You know them?" Lexon asked casually.
"We were in opposing factions before. They're a farming team, treating newcomers like lambs. There used to be three leaders in their team, but the previous captain killed one," Youmei replied in a low voice.
"Oh," Lexon acknowledged.
Zhongh from the Crimson Knight Troupe frowned when he saw the strongman interrupting and continued, "Any grudges can be settled later. Introduce your teams first."
The Crimson Knight Troupe had some renown among ordinary Reincarnators, so the two strongmen from the farming team didn't ignore their words.
"Jizhou Team Five, Scorpion Team. I'm the captain, Killing Demon," the strongman with a tattoo on his face said, revealing shiny white teeth and using a name that was clearly not real.
"I'm a member, Killing Maniac," the other strongman also spoke up, showing a happy smile.
Zhongh's brow furrowed tightly.
He wanted to act as the leader and unite his faction to exert greater power against the powerful Reincarnators of the opposing faction who would arrive in a few years.
The Scorpion Team was a farming team well-known in the ordinary Reincarnator circles. Their combat power was definitely concentrated in "Killing Demon" and "Killing Maniac."
But these two clearly wouldn't be easy to control.
This put him in a difficult position.
"You must have heard of our Crimson Knight Troupe's name..." Zhongh said slowly.
Most of the Reincarnators present nodded.
The Crimson Knight Troupe, with their coordinated abilities, unified will, and excellent formations, had achieved good results in many story worlds.
They had thoroughly made a name for themselves.
Seeing the Reincarnators nod, Zhongh became even more confident. "I think we should cooperate fully in this story world..."
"According to the information purchased, this world is of a high level. The opposing faction's Reincarnators who will enter in a few years will definitely not be weak. To survive and achieve greater results, we should cooperate and unite."
His expression was impassioned as he spoke, his blood boiling.
It had to be said, there was some truth to what Zhongh said.
In a situation where one's own faction was clearly weaker than the opponent's, uniting together was definitely a very wise move.
But things rarely turned out as ideally as planned.
"Sorry, we refuse," Goshin of Zhongzhou Team Seven was the first to reject Zhongh's proposal.
Although the members behind him were somewhat tempted by the proposal, out of trust for their captain, they didn't make any move.
"If we're going to unite, there has to be a leader... If you let me be the leader, I'll unite, hehehe," "Killing Demon" chuckled slyly.
"I want to be one too, haha," "Killing Maniac" echoed with a laugh.
Zhongh's face twitched slightly. He shifted his gaze to Youmei and asked, "What is your opinion?"
Under his gaze, Youmei shook her head.
Indicating that her team would not unite either.
Zhongzhou Team Four had been screwed over in a previous faction union mission, so she would not easily unite with other teams again.
After all, even within the same faction, the Main God wouldn't punish mutual killing.
"Then let's go our separate ways," Zhongh said, slightly angered.
His good intentions having been treated like dirt made him a little angry. He was no longer in the mood for discussion and led his eleven team members towards the edge of the dense forest.
The team of seven in black robes also left immediately.
"Do you want to go together, Lexon?" Youmei asked him.
She still hoped he would agree. Even though her strength had increased considerably due to her demonization, the gap between her and Lexon was still too large; she didn't even know how many leagues ahead he was.
Moreover, after Youmei's optimization by the Main God, although the weaknesses of fearing sunlight and eating people had been eliminated, her regenerative ability had also been greatly reduced. After being killed a dozen times, it would be difficult for her body to recover again.
"No," Lexon refused directly.
He couldn't be bothered to be a babysitter for Reincarnators.
The mission description stated that there were still several years until the Chunin Exams, but it didn't specify the current time. So Lexon wanted to find out what the current time point was.
Then, based on the time point, see if there were any interesting things he could do.
As for the Reincarnators from the opposing faction...
In these few years, Lexon himself would definitely not refrain from making contact with powerful individuals to sign in for abilities.
By the time the opponents arrived, he didn't even know what level his strength would reach.
So Lexon wasn't worried at all.
"Alright..." Youmei was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.
Then Youmei and Rara prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey... don't go just yet..." Suddenly, "Killing Demon" and "Killing Maniac" blocked Youmei's path with smiles on their faces.
