Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 440 We agreed on low intensity, so why is there such a gathering of heroes?

It has been 27 minutes and 57 seconds since the [Derivative World] opened.

A personal space.

"Jingle Bell--"

The alarm clock placed by the bed rang.

Gu Qi, who was taking a nap in bed, reluctantly opened his eyes and reflexively pressed the alarm clock next to him.

He got up listlessly.

After resting for only 5 minutes after the task was completed, she walked to the desk and sat down as if she were a walking corpse.

Then he took out a can of supplies with the [Refreshing] effect from his personal space, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

She closed her eyes, letting her long, gray hair fall haphazardly behind the chair.

After taking one second, it switched to work mode.

The woman opened her eyes again and rubbed her tired face.

At the same time, I removed the two corner covers that prevented the top corners from piercing the bed and began my work for the day.

First, I pulled up a densely packed list of private messages.

I quickly browsed through a bunch of transaction information.

Then I started sorting and replying to the messages by category.

Shortly afterward, the data compilation was completed.

Looking at the alarming numbers on the report and the endless stream of bad news.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, Gu Qi stretched out his hands and punched the air as if to vent his frustration.

However, the moment the fist was thrown...

She instinctively paired it with the slightly 'unstable' [Mastery Level Melee lv12] skill after adding points.

He began practicing the [Water Stream Rock Smash Fist], a technique with a very low learning threshold that he had learned in the dojo of that S-class hero.

After a short while, he calmed his agitated emotions somewhat by using this boxing technique, which he had not yet mastered.

The woman muttered a few complaints.

"More bad news!"

"Another task that requires extra overtime to fix!"

However, he only said two sentences.

She glanced at the time on the panel, then forcefully pulled up the two horns on her forehead.

Start sending reports that are destined to give their 'employer' and partner a major headache.
-
Miss, the data you asked me to compile has been completed.

Compare the data with last week's data.

The number of trades disrupted in the Derivative World has risen rapidly this week.

About 30% of the transactions were disrupted before delivery.

Therefore, your previously shaky credibility has been questioned once again, Miss.

The family expressed their dissatisfaction at the opportune moment, subtly revealing some ominous signs.

In addition, if the transaction fails, a certain amount of 'contraband' must be paid in compensation.

The largest transaction was worth approximately 110000 points, and the rest...
I don't think it's because the space recently added some modules to some derivative worlds without making them public.

Rather, someone is sabotaging things.
-
I wrote an incredibly long private message.

After confirming it twice.

The woman rubbed her face, trying to compose herself.

The panel was brought up, and the permission to send private messages to lower-ranking individuals was activated.

After receiving the notification tone indicating that the communication has been connected.

She then began to give regular reports.

"Miss, we..."

"Tell everyone that all trading is suspended today."

"Replace with the following number: [Derivative World]."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qi, who hadn't even uttered the first statistic yet, felt a chill run down his spine.

They had already realized something.

She made a single gesture with one hand.

A burst of light followed along his neck.

Mechanical arm armor and an exquisitely crafted mechanical shield resembling a greatsword appeared on the arm.

The weariness on the woman's face vanished instantly.

Instead, a palpable surge of killing intent emanated from his own body.

"Investigate? Kill?"
-
However, the reply from the other end of the conversation was quite unexpected.

No, we'll talk about that later.

"This time, you will personally go in and assist in a transaction."

"Bring all the useful Alchemy Skill Scrolls from before the first [Secondary Profession Assessment] and that [Wonderful Item] that meets the requirements."

"In this emergency, you should directly 'buy' the most crucial [artifact] and notify the relevant personnel to enter the world."

The woman pulled out another bottle of "Awakening" supplement, drank it down, and shook her head.

While sending private messages to numerous numbers, he inquired about their information.

"Urgent order? What percentage increase?"

"It's a gift, but you have to pay for it first, and it will be paid through the company account."

"The trading partner is a promising alchemist who has not yet joined a [school]."

"His world number and his number are as follows."

After noting down the information the woman gave him, Gu Qi frowned.

He offered a rare reminder.

"Miss, no, boss, don't you think there's anything wrong?"

"An alchemist who failed the first [secondary profession assessment]."

"The first [Derivative World] is actually the [Grand Prize] accumulated 37 times. Is this kind of [Derivative World] enough to attract most Rank 2 eligible reincarnations?"

Her answer was a very bland inquiry.

"Has the restocking been completed?"

Seeing the dwindling time left for their conversation, Gu Qi sighed and raised his voice.

"Miss, you may not know much about alchemists."

"This [secondary profession] is not something you can simply become by having enough skill levels."

"To achieve something, most people need to be trained by a [school of thought]."

"So, miss, don't be fooled."

The only reply she received was the same word.

"Has the restocking been completed?"

The woman reluctantly began her work.

[The Derivative World of this transaction has undergone temporary changes. Please...]

I sent several such messages according to the number, and repeatedly confirmed that I had replied 'received' to each private message.

Gu Qi, who was sitting at his desk and kept yawning, picked up two velvet corner covers and put them on.

Undeterred, he made one last attempt to persuade the woman to cancel the suspicious transaction.

To protect their precious vacation.

"Due to time constraints, it is basically completed."

"Miss, I still have to remind you of something."

"Based on the latest experience."

"The derivative world of this new spatial design, which does not disclose the [module], is probably not that simple."

"It is very likely to crack down on unfair transactions like ours that bypass space, and protect those 'first generation' reincarnators."

"After accumulating 37 [Grand Prizes], this mission..."

However, in the end, she only received one sentence that made her tremble with anger.

"If it's difficult, then you're responsible for bringing him out intact."

"My most trusted 'shield' and partner who holds the 'equity'."

"I'll trouble you to work overtime again before I advance to Rank 2."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qi clenched his fist.

He barely suppressed the urge to go to the real world and smash that woman's head in.

At the same time, she reluctantly took off the horn covers and gave up struggling.

The [Derivative World] has been officially locked in.

At the same time, in the last few minutes before entering the world.

She opened the private message from the stranger, a man she considered a fraud.
-
Hello, Ms. Gu Qi.

Although Ms. Chen Shu may have already had a conversation with you.

But please allow me to introduce myself.

I am Fang Yi, a reincarnator with some knowledge of alchemy. I was fortunate enough to receive generous assistance from Miss Chen Shu before even completing my first [Secondary Profession Assessment].

I would like to trouble Miss Gu Qi to take the time to participate in the [Derivative World] outside of the plan.

I am truly terrified.

But with the world about to open, he is a reincarnator who is advancing to [Rank 2] for the first time.

I would like to ask you, Miss Gu Qi, about the [Derivative World].

In this initial exchange, I am at a loss for words to express and respond to the actions taken by Ms. Chen Shu and Ms. Gu Qi.

I had no choice but to rack my brains and write this flowery private letter.

This is just a small token to express my gratitude.

An apprentice on the path of alchemy.

Fang Yi.
-
Seeing the private message the man sent, which was eloquent and displayed a humble attitude, she realized how wonderful it was.

Gu Qi's resentment at being woken up by her boss to work overtime immediately lessened.

Her opinion of the man, whose face she still didn't know, had also changed.

Regardless, this is a well-chosen statement, and the person seems quite humble.

However, we still need to observe further to see if it's truly a scam.

This is also part of the responsibility of being a 'partner' in the team.

The woman adjusted the mechanical structure of the shield and arm armor, performing pre-battle maintenance.

He drafted a very businesslike private message.
-
It's my duty; no further explanation is needed.

In addition, there is Mr. Fang Yi, whom I have never met.

I have some bad news for you.

Due to the recent emergence of random modules that are not publicly disclosed, this derivative world is likely to be extraordinary.

You may need to be prepared that you won't be able to communicate or meet with me for a while.

Meanwhile, this mission to accumulate 37 "Grand Prizes" may attract very powerful "Reincarnators" who will temporarily form teams.

On both sides.

There are also some reasons that I cannot tell you, which may lead to the emergence of some unknown enemies.

I don't know who you are, Mr. Fangyi.
After the woman finished writing the private message, she stared intently at the man's number.

Waiting for the man's reply.

A moment later, a scene appeared before my eyes that was different from what I had seen before entering the [Derivative World].

The first time the blood-red message "[0 hours 1 minute 21 seconds until the world opens]" appeared.

She had just received this private message.
-
It doesn't matter.

Miss Gu Qi, no matter what unexpected situation arises.

No matter how many unexpected enemies appear in this mission.

This transaction will be completed smoothly.

We will all be the ultimate winners.

the reason is simple.

Although I am an apprentice in alchemy whose 'beginner' is an overstatement.

But when it comes to killing enemies, I'd say I'm a master.

I am also very good at teamwork and standing out from a group of people.

I believe that you and I, who are trusted by Miss Chen Shu, will work together.

They should be able to be invincible in this mission.

Because, apart from what I've mentioned.

There is also an exceptionally simple and plain fact.

I am very strong.
-
Looking at the confident text message the man sent.

And the ending, "I am strong."

The woman paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

Within seconds, a smile bloomed on her cheeks.

What started as a faint smile developed into a maniacal laugh with extremely frenzied body language, which could be described as doubled over and backward.

It took the woman two seconds to manage to suppress her laughter.

I blurted out that sentence without thinking.

"A mere Rank 2 Reincarnator, and you're already so arrogant?"

"He even said he wanted to fight alongside me, I really am..."

The woman stood up from the chair, sent a private message saying, "Then I'll wait and see," and put away her twin horns.

He uttered his last words.

"I've been underestimated!"

At this moment, there are 59 seconds left before the [Derivative World] opens.
-
There are 47 seconds left until the [Derivative World] opens.

A personal space.

Lying on the table piled with various instruments, I carefully fished the prosthetic eye out of the maintenance fluid.

Having witnessed this [Tier 3 Rare] successfully advance to [Tier 3 Epic], no longer holding back the [Tier 2 Legendary] body.

Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we got it sorted out before entering the [Derivative World]."

He inserted the prosthetic eye into its socket and took one last look at the number for the [Derivative World].

After confirming, it is indeed the [Redevelopment Town in the Wasteland].

I then opened the private messages and replied.
-
Unwilling to part ways with Chen Shu after the Ara-saka Tower, and after his subsequent plan to get closer to her failed.

We can also participate in your plans, sir.

Luo Yi, I am deeply honored.

The exact number of people in this "derivative world" cannot be confirmed.

However, when I locked the [derivative world], there were still 91 empty slots.

When the other party received the message that the [Derivative World] number of the transaction had been changed, the [Derivative World] had 17 slots available.

This "derivative world" should have at least 100 participants.

The blood-red indicator that just appeared was also unusually strange.

Therefore, due to the influence of the undisclosed [module].

Inform the people over there about the plan to eliminate Miss Gu Qi, who seems to have a destiny like [Flame Light].

Many things may change.
-
Despite sending such a humble message, the other party will not reply.

But Luo Yi showed no respect or fear on his face.

Instead, they radiated an unprecedented level of confidence.

In the final moments before entering the derivative world.

The man took out the [Protagonist] card, which had suddenly become gleaming.

Looking at the [Destiny] that appeared on it.

He added the details that weren't mentioned in the private message in a very bland way.

"But I am receiving memories and 'inheriting' the will of martial arts."

"Having partially recovered its 'body,' it is moving towards 'resurrection.'"

"【God of War】".
-
There are 27 seconds left until the [Derivative World] opens.

A study in the present world.

Yuan Zhongli watched as Aoxing stormed in, yelling, "Where's the Cursed Crown?"

He looked up in surprise and gave a reply with great interest.

"how?

"Because the divination revealed that you weren't killed by that man, you want to come back again to get revenge?"

Before the woman could speak...

The man who picked up the tortoise shell on the table gave the other party the answer they wanted to know.

Unfortunately, he went to urgently search for "little things" of "light" for his assigned team members.

"I wonder who this person with considerable potential, who is slated to join the [Cursed Crown] team and possesses terrifying 'superpowers', is."

"Who paid them to launch a 'siege' against which reincarnator?"

"At the same time, my divination has been pre-selected by him as the result of this divination project, so I can't do a divination for you."

[Aoxing] remained silent.

He simply slammed the door shut, expressing his dissatisfaction in this simple way.

Yuan Zhongli, with a calm smile on his face, turned his attention to the tortoise shell in his hand.

But after vaguely calculating the course of the operation, the man couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"interesting.

"How can this be the beginning of defeat?"
-
As the countdown in the [Derivative World] turns to a deep red 0.

Fang Yi's vision went black, and he experienced a long-lost feeling of weightlessness that signaled the start of the fourth mission.
