Game Invitation?
Although the Night Raid members didn't believe it, their eyes never left the Mysterious Merchant as they watched him pull out a black invitation and hand it to Tatsumi.
Tatsumi's expression shifted slightly after taking the Game Invitation.
From bewilderment and shock, to finally excitement and exhilaration.
Then... he vanished into thin air.
There were no energy fluctuations; Brand didn't even blink, yet he saw Tatsumi disappear from his sight.
"Space Teigu!"
Akame adopted a defensive stance, stepping back, her demon blade Murasame held horizontally in front of her, vigilantly eyeing the Mysterious Merchant who had suddenly made a move.
Initially, it was suspicion, but now that Fang Yi had used his ability right before their eyes, they finally confirmed it.
The other party was a Teigu User who controlled a Space Teigu.
Brand remained calm and asked, "Sir, has Tatsumi been killed by you, or transferred somewhere else?"
Even if a Teigu User could control multiple Teigu simultaneously, no matter how powerful, he wasn't without weaknesses.
All members of Night Raid were Teigu Users, subtly surrounding the Mysterious Merchant, gaining the upper hand in numbers.
Tatsumi was a youth he favored, possessing a sense of justice, passion, gratitude, and combat talent.
Being attacked right under his nose, Brand was also furious.
"I said I am a Merchant who sells games. The Game Invitation allows Tatsumi to become a player and undergo a hunting trial."
Fang Yi ignored Night Raid's hostility and explained, "If he succeeds, he might gain the power to save his companions."
Leone couldn't help but retort, "Fulfilling any wish, how is that possible?"
"If you don't mind, for only a small amount of assets, the Reincarnation Game has a spectating function that can satisfy your curiosity."
As Fang Yi finished speaking, a translucent screen rose.
[Consume 500 reward points to activate the spectating function.]
"It costs money?"
Akame frowned deeply.
She never imagined that the Mysterious Merchant's grand display would ultimately be for money.
"While other things can't be guaranteed, Night Raid can mobilize some assets when it comes to money."
"It just requires time."
As acting captain, Akame had the right to mobilize all of Night Raid's assets.
However, the Night Raid organization was some distance from the Imperial Capital, and traveling back and forth would waste too much time.
Fang Yi waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's fine. As long as the contract is established, I will automatically deduct the fee based on the principle of fairness."
Contract...
Brand seized on the key point, his eyes flickering, signaling Akame to agree.
This was what Leone had mentioned, the suspected Contract Teigu ability, and it was a good opportunity to observe it up close and hopefully find its flaws.
"I agree."
"Excellent, the contract is established. 500 reward points for spectating access."
Instantly, money worth 500 reward points in the Night Raid base's warehouse vanished.
The translucent screen began to flicker, gradually revealing Tatsumi's figure.
"Is that Tatsumi?"
At the edge of [Dark City], within the Shallow Dwelling area, there were mutated Corpse Stealers, Ghosts, and Dark-elemental creatures, all infected by a virus.
The final boss was the infected Dark Elf Alchemist, Morgan the Grudge.
"Rotten corpses, yet still able to move, are they Danger Beasts?"
Brand nervously watched the screen.
Among the Night Raid members, he was the most concerned about Tatsumi's life and didn't want to see him in danger.
In the eerie, deep cave, strange roars echoed, and living corpses crawled out from underground.
Tatsumi went from initial panic to slowly adapting, showcasing excellent combat talent.
At the edge of Dark City, the monster levels were very low, but the further in, the higher the monster levels became.
Tatsumi didn't go deeper, instead circling the edge, with a blessed steel short sword in hand, constantly ambushing low-level Corpse Stealers.
Heat.
Inside a cave where scorching lava flowed, a flaming Corpse Stealer crawled out of a lava pool.
Tatsumi raised his short sword and began to fight the Flaming Corpse Stealer.
Ten minutes later.
Tatsumi, covered in extensive burns, plunged his short sword into the Flaming Corpse Stealer's head.
"Mysterious Merchant, can you teleport Tatsumi back? If this continues, he'll die..."
Through the spectating screen, Brand could feel the danger. Several times, he saw monsters emitting extremely terrifying auras, even stronger than Super Danger Beasts.
Fortunately, the terrain of the Shallow Dwelling was complex, and Tatsumi managed to hide in time, avoiding detection.
Fang Yi shook his head, refusing, and said, "I said, this is a game both parties willingly participate in."
This was his experiment.
The Death Tower would gather all Pollution Monsters and throw them into the tower.
The weakest monsters were at the bottom of the tower, then spiraling upwards to the strongest monsters sealed at the top.
All players had to do was climb the tower.
Monsters would drop reward points and random treasure chests as rewards for climbing the tower.
This dungeon-like mode could quickly cultivate a large number of low-level players, and it would encourage players to form teams, enhancing the teamwork abilities of lone wolf players.
By changing the combat mode, various factions would be subtly divided into countless player teams, with different factions forming teams with each other.
This would gradually reduce the malicious conflict between player factions and shift it towards healthy competition.
"A malicious Mysterious Merchant, treating life as a game?"
Mine's brows furrowed tightly, her uncontrolled mental energy radiating, causing the Pumpkin cannon's barrel to heat up slightly.
Mine, with her pink pigtails, came from the Empire's border and had foreign blood. She had suffered discrimination and bullying since childhood.
Those malicious nobles often released starving dogs to kill foreign slaves in the slums in the name of a game.
Therefore, seeing the Mysterious Merchant teleport Tatsumi to the Shallow Dwelling brought back bad memories for her.
"It's not treating life as a game; it's about risking one's life to achieve a wish."
Fang Yi showed no emotional fluctuation and retorted, "To achieve a wish, staking one's life is only natural. If one doesn't even have that much resolve and will, and anyone could easily achieve their wishes, then wishes would lose their meaning."
Buzz.
Before Mine could retort, the screen suddenly lit up.
After Tatsumi killed the elite-level Flaming Corpse Stealer, a blue treasure chest suddenly appeared, floating above the corpse.
Surprised, Tatsumi collected the treasure chest and continued hunting.
Half an hour later, Tatsumi, exhausted, was killed by a [Skeleton Thrower] hidden in the shadows.
Under Brand's shocked gaze, Tatsumi disappeared from the Shallow Dwelling and reappeared at the warehouse entrance.
"Are you alright, Tatsumi?"
Brand rushed over, checking Tatsumi's physical condition.
The extensive burns caused by the Flaming Corpse Stealer were gone, and his chest, shattered by the skull thrown by the Skeleton Thrower, was also perfectly fine.
It was like an illusion.
"I'm fine."
Tatsumi excitedly got up.
Now understanding the Reincarnation Game, he pulled out over a dozen treasure chests under the bewildered gazes of the Night Raid members.
Nine white treasure chests, two green treasure chests, and one blue treasure chest.
"Treasure chests from an illusion, how is that possible?"
Leone, with her shapely figure, bent down, unconcerned about her undulating chest, and looked at the treasure chests Tatsumi had pulled out with a strange expression.
A series of strange occurrences left the Night Raid members utterly confused.
Space Teigu?
Contract Teigu?
Illusion Teigu?
None of them. The abilities displayed by the Mysterious Merchant had completely exceeded the Night Raid members' understanding.
Fang Yi looked at the treasure chests scattered on the ground, nodded slightly, and smiled, "Good harvest. This is the best reward for the brave. Next is the key to whether you can save your companions, Tatsumi."
"I understand, Mr. Fang Yi."
Tatsumi took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the treasure chests before him.
The moment he touched the Game Invitation, he understood Mr. Fang Yi's identity: the master of the Reincarnation Game, a Game Merchant who traveled through myriad worlds, and game items that could fulfill any wish.
Such an inconceivable thing, no one would believe it.
But his recent experience and the treasure chests laid out before him were like irrefutable evidence, leaving everyone speechless.
Brand couldn't help but ask, "Tatsumi, what exactly is going on?"
Knowing Aria's true nature and seeing Brand's concerned attitude, Tatsumi felt a warmth in his heart.
He looked up at Mr. Fang Yi, confirmed that there were no so-called confidentiality clauses, and shook his head, "Mr. Armored Man, I will tell you everything that happened to me in full later. Please wait for me for a moment."
The Night Raid members looked at Tatsumi in confusion, wondering what this inexperienced youth was hinting at.
Brand nodded and quieted down.
Clap.
Tatsumi rubbed his palms, nervously opening a white treasure chest.
