"This is… the Reincarnation Game?!"
No wonder the country boy, who had just arrived in the Imperial Capital, reacted so strongly after becoming a player.
A piece of text about the Reincarnation Game appeared in her mind.
"It's truly terrifying. Even if it's an illusion, the touch, smell, hearing, sight… there isn't the slightest flaw."
Najenda looked around.
The eerie cave, with Corpse Robbers and Zombies wandering about, was very similar to Tatsumi's hunting map, but also different.
The air was hot and dry, with large pools of bubbling lava, casting a red glow on the cave walls.
"Lava Cave?!"
Looking at the game's text prompt, Najenda frowned slightly and muttered, "It's an environment similar to underground lava. If you're not careful and fall into a lava pool, you'll be burned to ashes. This is truly a dangerous game."
She stepped over the fractured ground, and loose stones rattled down, swallowed by the lava, splashing up hot currents.
A Corpse Robber clawed its way out of the rocky ground, its face ferocious, and lunged at Najenda.
Bang.
Najenda swung her right arm, and her steel fist slammed heavily into the Corpse Robber's decaying cheek.
Her right arm and right eye were scars left from when she betrayed the Empire and fought Este's.
Two Teigu Users had died, easily frozen into ice sculptures by Este's.
The power gap was too great.
If the Revolutionary Army wanted to break through the Imperial Capital, Este's was their biggest obstacle.
Although Najenda constantly encouraged the Revolutionary Army and Night Raid,
knowing Este's terrifying strength, she was actually the one with the least confidence deep down. She couldn't imagine how to deal with that monster.
"If what the Mysterious Merchant said is all true…"
As the disadvantaged party in the Revolutionary Army,
Najenda knew very well that if the Reincarnation Game was real, she had no right to ponder the Mysterious Merchant's intentions.
What lay before her was to cooperate with him and overthrow the Imperial Capital.
A white treasure chest dropped.
Najenda continued forward. Two Corpse Robbers blocked her way on a bridge-like rock pillar that had fallen into a ground fissure, with hot lava at the bottom.
"If I had known, I would have borrowed Mine's Pumpkin Cannon or transferred a Teigu from headquarters."
Najenda shook her right arm. Although the mechanical arm could deliver a powerful blow,
its internal gears needed to cool down, and the hinge had to retract, preventing continuous operation.
And the weight was a significant burden.
Fang Yi, who was watching Najenda's hunting battle, just like the rest of Night Raid, shook his head slightly.
"If Najenda had a Teigu, the Pollution Monsters she encountered would also become stronger, so the effect wouldn't change."
It must be said, she truly was the former General of the Empire.
Even without a Teigu, Najenda, relying on her combat skills and simple mechanical arm, managed to kill twenty-seven Corpse Robbers, fifteen decaying Zombies, and two elite monsters, Burning Hera.
Finally, she was killed by a Fire Elemental Life that emerged from the lava.
"Mr. Fang Yi, can all these treasure chests be opened freely?"
Back in the Teigu World, Najenda eagerly pulled out the treasure chests, surrounding herself with them.
Fang Yi nodded and smiled, "Treasure chests are rewards for players hunting Pollution Monsters. You can dispose of them freely."
Upon hearing this,
Najenda nodded slightly, reached out, tore open her black suit, and threw it on the ground.
The Lava Cave was too hot, and the Fire Elemental that finally killed her made her feel the sensation of being scorched.
Even after resurrection, a lingering heat remained in her nerve endings.
"Miss Najenda, you… stop it!?"
Lubbock's face was flushed, and he waved his hands wildly, seemingly trying to telekinetically put the suit jacket back on Najenda.
Currently, Najenda was only wearing a black bandeau, like a ribbon, wrapped around her neck, revealing a large expanse of fair, delicate skin.
Lubbock, who secretly admired her, was usually lecherous,
but now, Brand, Tatsumi, and the lecherous Mysterious Merchant were also present.
"Lubbock?"
Najenda turned her head, looking at Lubbock in confusion.
Lubbock quickly covered his nose and turned away, waving his hand to indicate he was fine.
"Then… let's begin!"
Najenda took a deep breath, opened the lid of the white treasure chest, and picked up the white orb inside.
Pop.
The orb shattered,
and a thumb-sized, pitch-black iron lump appeared in Najenda's palm.
"Iron Piece, a relatively low-grade metal material in the Arad Continent."
Reading the game prompt for the pitch-black iron lump, Najenda frowned slightly, feeling disappointed internally.
After all that effort to kill the Corpse Robbers, it only dropped such scrap material?
One must know,
a Corpse Robber, infected by plague, died, buried in a tomb, and constantly mutating, was far stronger than some Danger Beasts.
Fang Yi, standing beside her, looked at the disappointed Najenda and politely smiled, "To become an excellent player, the most important thing is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the world."
"This Iron Piece might be a cheap material in the Otherworld, but it's different in the Teigu World…"
The [Arad Continent] is a world where magic and technology, gunnery and Qigong, and various extraordinary energies have been developed to their extreme.
It is a Tier 2 map, with potential to advance to [Tier 3].
Even wild fruits casually dropped in Gran Forest would be treasures capable of restoring vitality in the Teigu World.
Najenda was slightly stunned when she heard the Mysterious Merchant's words.
She turned to the green-haired young man and said, "Lubbock, try attacking this Iron Piece with your Teigu, [Cross Tail]."
"Is this really necessary?"
If it were anyone else, Lubbock wouldn't even budge from where he stood.
The threads of the Teigu [Cross Tail] were extremely tough hairs from a Super Danger Beast. Using them to cut an Iron Piece was like using Akame's [Demon Sword Murasame] to grill fish.
But it was Najenda speaking, so despite his inner reluctance, he complied.
"Miss Najenda, just put the Iron Piece on the ground. I'm afraid of accidentally hurting you."
Lubbock said, but didn't even raise his arm. He extended a finger, and a slender silver thread shot out.
Bang.
The silver thread struck the Iron Piece, the force sending it flying into the air before it fell heavily.
Even the stone brick next to the Iron Piece was pierced by the silver thread.
"I told you, ordinary iron wouldn't be able to withstand it at all…"
Lubbock hadn't finished speaking when he noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the Night Raid members. He looked down and saw that the Iron Piece was completely intact.
This time, Lubbock wiggled two fingers, twisting several silver threads into a steel needle, and thrust it towards the Iron Piece.
Bang.
The Iron Piece and the Teigu's silver thread collided, producing a spark. Only a slight indentation appeared on its surface.
Looking at the inquisitive gazes of the Night Raid members, Lubbock quickly shook his head and said, "I wouldn't possibly be perfunctory with Miss Najenda's orders. The steel needle condensed from the silver thread can even penetrate thick walls, yet it didn't pierce a metal iron piece?"
"Here, try to pierce it."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Najenda directly removed her right mechanical arm and threw it on the ground.
Exposing the gruesome scars and severed arm left by Este's.
"Miss Najenda…"
"Pierce it!"
Najenda held her breath, her eyes showing no shyness from her scars being exposed, but rather a hint of expectation.
Bang.
A silver thread easily pierced the mechanical arm, leaving a thumb-sized impact crater.
"In the Imperial Capital… including within the Revolutionary Army, the material used for this mechanical arm is the strongest metal apart from the materials used to create Teigu."
Najenda's breathing became erratic.
An Iron Piece was not uncommon; it was even less rare than the deerskin boots Tatsumi had opened.
However, she paid attention to what the Mysterious Merchant had said.
This Iron Piece was the lowest-grade metal opened from a white treasure chest, which meant there were even stronger metals hidden in the treasure chests?
Although the process of hunting for treasure chests was dangerous, one could revive every day.
If all members of the Revolutionary Army could be equipped with weapons forged from Iron Pieces, second only to Teigu metals, the war situation would completely tilt in their favor.
