Chapter 052: 079！

In a strange room.

Chu Yang took a deep breath, and then the gold in his hand disappeared. "Finally, I've gathered enough ticket money."

"Even though I've been reborn, the game invitation is still here. Is it bound to my soul?"

Chu Yang pondered for a moment, and then his vision went black, and his consciousness directly arrived in another space.

This space was a vast black platform with chairs and tables around, and a huge countdown timer in the sky.

"Death Game opens once a month, and since I started participating, it should have opened eight times already."

"I missed two of them. This game is..."

Chu Yang raised his head and saw a string of characters below.

[Code 002: Deep Diver (Difficulty 2)]

[Countdown: 03:14:55]

"Three hours left."

Chu Yang summoned his personal information panel with a thought. "My points have been reset to zero, and all the abilities I previously obtained have disappeared. It couldn't get any worse than this."

Not only Chu Yang was here, but there were also other people.

They all received invitations to the game, and they all had the same inverted triangle magic array pattern on the palms of their hands like Chu Yang.

One of them approached Chu Yang.

"Are you new here?"

Chu Yang looked at the newcomer, whom he recognized, with the ID Hawk Eye Mihawk.

This guy had fought alongside Chu Yang against 004, the Bee Queen, and then backstabbed Chu Yang viciously. Everyone knew that Hawk Eye was quite notorious.

Now that Chu Yang had been reborn, his appearance and physique were completely different from before.

Plus, his own ability information had been reset, and Chu Yang had started a new ID named Yang Yan.

Yes, when joining the game, one had to input an ID. Nobody here used their real names.

Before, Chu Yang was called Tricycle, a name he casually picked, and at that time, he was also considered a top figure in the game, and people called him San Ye.

But the main reason for this nickname was also directly related to his identity as the third senior.

Seeing Hawk Eye, Chu Yang showed no anger or joy. "Yes, I'm new. So what?"

Hawk Eye Mihawk reached out. "I see. You better be careful here. People here are quite selfish. I'm Hawk Eye Mihawk. You can just call me Hawk Eye."

You are the most selfish one.

Chu Yang didn't shake his hand. Hawk Eye felt a bit awkward at this. "Ahem, this game is quite dangerous. How about we team up?"

Chu Yang still didn't respond.

Hawk Eye turned his head. "Ah, it's okay if you don't want to team up. As an experienced player, I have an obligation to give you an introduction to this place."

"Here in front of us is the countdown. Once the countdown ends, those who have handed in their tickets will be forcibly transported to the corresponding scene."

"The monsters in different scenes are different, and the rules of the game may vary slightly."

"The common condition for completing the game is usually to survive until a specific time."

"As long as you survive the designated time, you can earn points, and these points can be used to buy things in the shop."

"You can take a look at the shop. The biggest reward is 50,000 points, which supposedly grants you the qualification for a meeting with the organizers."

...

In the sky above, Chen Ye, in his form as the Grim Reaper, watched them from above.

"What does the 50,000 points reward mean?"

"Um, you decided on that. You said that if someone could accumulate 50,000 points, you would give them a bottle of potion."

"Accumulating 50,000 points for a potion?"

"You can brew potions?"

"No, but you can."

"I originally wanted to ensure that no one would accumulate 50,000 points until you created me. Once I was created, then I allowed people to have 50,000 points."

Chen Ye's gaze swept over the people below. These people, unlike Chu Yang, didn't attract Chen Ye.

Through extracting Chu Yang's blood, Chen Ye conducted several experiments and understood what exactly was attracting him.

It was a trait called luck.

Chen Ye reached out and grabbed the lifeline of these people. Some of them had thicker lifelines than normal people, and they were tougher than usual.

After becoming the Grim Reaper, Chen Ye had seen many lifelines.

Gradually, he concluded one thing.

People with tougher lifelines generally lived longer.

And the potion made from Chu Yang's blood had a unique ability: it made people's lifelines thicker and tougher.

But through Chen Ye's testing, these lifelines were not indestructible. With a bit of force, they could be broken.

It's just that, without the intervention of the Grim Reaper, these people generally lived very long lives, living to their natural end.

Chu Yang was among those with tough lifelines.

This made Chen Ye think of something. "079, how did you originally select people? Was it random or were there fixed candidates?"

"You said you were looking for people with tough lifelines."

"So, I brought all the people with tough lifelines here, and used their imprints as the invitation to continuously spread outward."

Chen Ye seemed to have figured something out. "So this is how it works."

"I gradually understand everything."

"What's the next game?"

"It's about evading the pursuit of the Deep Diver Army 002. As long as you survive for 30 minutes or escape from the estate, you win."

"Of course, you can change the game content as you like."

Chen Ye pinched the lifelines of these people. "Thirty minutes seems too short. Let's make it an hour."

With their tough lifelines, it wouldn't be fair to them if there weren't any challenges.

"Also, you should have my other experimental data, right? Let me see."

"This... Your experimental data is only in your hands, my Lord. You haven't told anyone."

"Although I know what those creatures are, I don't know how they were created. If you only know the appearance and abilities of the monsters, then this timeline's future will definitely change."

This timeline?

"So, when you go back to the past, a new timeline has already been created, and it's no longer the past?"

"It's possible. This may even prevent you from creating me in this timeline."
