Two Choices

A reset and reload triggered by the Player themselves means that time starts from the beginning, which is the greatest help the system can provide to these Player.

--A total of 40 Retry Chance!!

Of course, if you use up all 40 Retry Chance, your score will be pitifully low, and the system's evaluation may also be downgraded.

This was aid from the system's Strength, not from the authority of the Dominator himself. As for the Digital Serial Number behind their necks, Bai Zhi guessed it was more like the system's way of assigning them a position... perhaps?

The person drawn in this lottery is OriginDeficit.

As a familiar sense of distortion washed over me, and everything before me descended into chaos, the alarm clock rang in my ears.

Bai Zhi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

Having already learned from several previous experiences, he didn't dawdle this time. After finding the bloodstained Watermelon Knife in the drawer, he casually ran his fingers through his hair, got up, opened the door, and went to the living room.

What should we do now?

In the living room, Yuan Que, who had also turned into OriginDeficit 9, took the initiative to ask Bai Zhi a question.

"Is it through tokens of authentication, or even by inheriting the positions of those in Dominator?"

"We know too little about the Dominator, so I personally do not advocate such risky behavior."

Walking to the window and looking at the view below, Bai Zhi spoke.

"And even if we really have to get certified, it's best if only one of us four does it. After all, our mission is to explore this place comprehensively, so we need to end this cycle... and incidentally complete that Fuzi's task."

As he spoke, Bai Zhi turned around and held up two fingers in front of him.

"There are two methods. The first is for all four of us to get certified Dominator Authority... or rather, three of us to get certified, and one person stays behind as insurance. Then we form Mutual Defense Alliance and survive to the end in the Seven Days War to ensure the start of the Next Cycle. This is the safest approach."

"If we really choose this, then I'll act as insurance."

Young Feather voluntarily raised his hand.

"What about the other one?"

Ink-Stained Crystal raised her head and looked at Bai Zhi.

"The method above is the safest way to complete the task, and it also has the highest margin for error, with very low risk and complexity. However, if we choose the above method, we will lose the opportunity to explore the true secrets of this world, and the evaluation and points we receive from the system will likely be very low."

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi walked over and sat down on the Sofa.

"The second method is for one of us four to be chosen to inherit the position of Dominator, with the other three Support. Then, together we can end the cycle in this city and bring a complete end to the war. When everything returns to Nine Nine Returns to One, the secrets of this world will automatically be revealed to us... Vote, the Majority Rules."

"The second method should be less dangerous, right?"

After thinking for a moment, OriginDeficit began to speak.

"After all, the first method only gives you 10 chances, while the second method gives you 30 chances to Retry Chance."

"Passive defense and active offense are different. There are 81 Dominators in 9 Regions. Even if we exclude the four of us, there are still 77 left. We have to defeat these 77 Dominators within Seven Days ... or perhaps a few fewer."

Bai Zhi shook his head slightly, his expression noncommittal.

"We know absolutely nothing about the background of these 77 Dominators. The Fuzi might know a little, but definitely not much. This means that if we choose the second path, we will consume even more attempts..."

Bai Zhi reached out and gently pressed his forehead.

"And according to my estimation, the so-called 'load save' will be based on a one-day cycle, which means we are destined to go down a dead end, and this is no joke."

I choose option two.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ink-Stained Crystal raised her hand.

"... Okay, I'll choose the second option too."

With a sigh, OriginDeficit also raised his hand.

"Uh... me too."

Young Feather followed closely behind, maintaining a very positive mindset.

"Just treat me like a brick; move me wherever you need me!!"

"Okay, let's go upstairs then."

Nodding, and without any intention of delaying, Bai Zhi stood up from the Sofa.

"Everyone should bring their own token, so we can see who this building truly belongs to."

"... Oh, right, I have one more question."

At this moment, Young Feather raised his hand with slight hesitation.

"Do we still need to maintain our established personas in the present day?"

"The purpose of a character setting is to guide us to find the token, nothing else, and we've never seemed to break the rules and have to reload a save file because we violated the character setting, right?"

Bai Zhi answered without turning his head.

This was their third time going out, but the situation was completely different from the previous two times.

Bai Zhi held Watermelon Knife, Ink-Stained Crystal held a Fountain Pen, OriginDeficit held a Fruit Knife, and as for Young Feather... he held an Evil God Figurine.

"..."

Looking at his Teammate ahead of him, Young Feather felt completely out of place.

It's like a gang war, tense and heated, with the opposing gang leader slowly pulling out a steel Baseball Bat from his Inventory, while the other gang leader slowly pulls out a Balala Little Fairy Transformation Wand Inventory...

It's unclear which person's item had the effect, but this time, the Mosquito Human Soldier in the stairwell didn't attack them again; instead, they silently hid in the darkness.

And so, they made their way smoothly up the stairs from the 8th floor to the rooftop on the 24th floor.

When they stood on the rooftop and looked up at the Tian Kong, they saw a Young Man, about 27 or 28 years old, quietly Levitation about seven or eight meters above them. He was wearing a dark brown casual outfit and looked no different from a human.

"Up close, they don't seem much different from humans...?"

After carefully observing the other party from below for a moment, OriginDeficit couldn't help but frown slightly.

"This is the Dominator?"

"That's right, this is the Dominator... I think I finally understand why that Xiao Hai Zombie described these Dominator as being one strand at a time."

After staring upwards for a while, Bai Zhi exhaled and gently pressed his forehead.

"I didn't expect it to actually be a Dominator... So what's the meaning of a Zombie?"
