Yukari Yakumo: After I Die, Chen Li, You... Remember to Take Me While I'm Still Warm (10K)

As for whether Kayaba Akihiko wants to revive these people?

Chen Li didn't care whether he wanted to or not; a good beating would make him want to.

After Kayaba Akihiko finishes watching the advertisement, he will dismantle Kyubey's abilities and keep them for future reuse.

The perfect ending has been achieved! The world where only Kayaba Akihiko is injured has been achieved!

"A brilliant idea." Yakumo Yukari gave it a thumbs up.

"So, is it possible to use the boundary between illusion and reality in this game?" Chen Li asked.

Chen Li discovered that Aqua's flash of inspiration and extraordinary wisdom weren't entirely unusable, but they needed some modifications...

"It's a bit of a stretch, but we can give it a try... The Worldview in this game is too vast, and the game system itself is also very complex." Yakumo Yukari had a headache.

Yakumo Yukari overestimated the completeness of this Virtual Game as much as possible, but she didn't expect reality to give her a hard blow.

It's just a game, Kayaba Akihiko, why did you make it so detailed?

Of course, the key point is that Chen Li's demands are rather unreasonable.

They wanted to turn this world into a monster spawner, making the monsters real monsters, while also trying to integrate the Game World's system into the group members' Exclusive Profession system... This is equivalent to having Yakumo Yukari create a complete otherworld!

Dude, who are you trying to embarrass?

However, because Chen Li was the sugar daddy, Yakumo Yukari chose to Shush and decided to hang Kayaba Akihiko up and beat him for three days and three nights to vent her anger!

"It doesn't matter, I can just die a few more times." Chen Li transformed the [Revival Match]'s original form into a card and handed it to Yakumo Yukari.

"..."

Yakumo Yukari couldn't understand how such heavy words could come out of Chen Li's mouth so lightly.

It wasn't you who died, right?

"Don't look at me like that. Back then, I died countless times inside the Nanook in order to devour him... If you only count the time, I died continuously for more than half a month. Besides, your Exclusive Profession, [Monster Sage], should be able to increase the brightness of the Sage attribute by creating worlds, right? I think you should pay me for giving you this opportunity."

This was the first time Chen Li had ever seen someone's Exclusive Profession include ( ).

As expected of you, Yakumo Yukari!

The attribute "leisure" is actually written into the underlying program.

"Ahem, but on the other hand, since it's for the benefit of our fellow group members, I, Yakumo Yukari, am duty-bound to do so."

Yakumo Yukari's meaning was clear: she had no money, but she could take his life.

"Ha, what a hypocrite."

"Oh, right, the guy down there hacking at the Zombie Santa Claus is the male protagonist of this anime. He's trying to kill Santa Claus to resurrect his first love and get the resurrection item." Chen Li peered down through the gap.

"So it was for the female lead..."

"No, that's not it. The male protagonist's first love isn't the female protagonist, and he can't revive her either, because the resurrection item dropped by this Zombie Santa Claus can only revive people who died within 10 seconds." Chen Li remembered this scene very clearly.

After the protagonist Kirito defeats the Christmas Easter Egg — the Zombie Santa Claus —he discovers that the dropped item can only revive people who have died within 10 seconds. In a fit of anger, he throws the item to his friend, and it is this very item that saves Kirito's life later in the story.

The shot fired in episode 3 was the final one.

"I see... then don't blame me for stealing your monster!"

"Hey, holy crap, what are you doing?"

"Kill him! Abandoned train!"

"Buzz! Whoosh!"

The loud buzzing sound drew everyone's attention.

A massive, abandoned train, completely out of place in this Game World filled only with swords and other melee weapons, burst out from a suddenly opened gap and rammed into the Zombie Santa Claus Kirito had already beaten half to death, sending him flying.

As the train roared past amidst the wind and snow, Kirito was dumbfounded.

Is this reasonable? It's not like we're buddies.

"Wait! My monster!" When Kirito realized what was happening, Kirito only saw the Zombie Santa Claus, who had been hit by the train and thrown into the air, instantly shatter into particles of light.

Since Kirito didn't deliver the final blow to the Zombie Santa Claus, the dropped items naturally didn't belong to Kirito.

Holy crap! There's a K-headed monster!

However, although Kirito lost the Santa Claus loot, Kirito noticed a magnificent treasure chest sitting quietly directly below where the Zombie Santa Claus had died.

Although the scene just now felt very inexplicable, Kirito still rushed towards the box for the legendary resurrection item and reached out to grab it...

Kirito rolled right through the box onto the snow, leaving his footprints behind.

That box was like the moon's reflection in water or a flower in a mirror—impossible to touch even a fraction of it.

Just as Kirito was surprised, the box suddenly flew up. Kirito looked along its flight path and saw that the treasure chest finally landed in the hands of an elegant auntie... a girl who was sitting on the spatial rift, with unparalleled beauty and an aura of fatal allure.

"Just a white treasure chest? What a pity." Yakumo Yukari was somewhat disappointed after receiving the Destiny Treasure Chest.

The Bequest of Fate have distinct color variations: white, blue, purple, gold, and red, with dazzling colors even above the red.

"You should be content with obtaining the Bequest of Fate chest by defeating monsters in the game. Especially since this chest comes from a monster that is about to be killed by others." Chen Li was not surprised.

Perhaps because the Miraculous Forging Guide sent the two to this world, they automatically integrated into the game's Worldview. They would die if killed by monsters in the game, so killing monsters would naturally also bring rewards.

And that's exactly what Chen Li wanted.

But that's not enough!

Chen Li felt that given the strength of this Santa Claus, it should be able to drop a blue treasure chest, indicating that the current state still has an impact on obtaining the complete reward.

After all, this Zombie Santa Claus is a rather important plot (fate) character... Of course, the most important thing is the loot that this plot character drops after he dies.

"Who are you?" Kirito wearing a black trench coat, looked at Chen Li and Yakumo Yukari warily, holding a long sword.

"My dear boy, do you want this white treasure chest, or this item that can revive others?" After glancing at Kirito below, Yakumo Yukari gave a kind smile.

As Sage of the Yokai, Yakumo Yukari possesses a beauty that is unmatched by ordinary people, and also has a kind of allure that is fatal to humans.

Even Kirito, whose heart was already occupied by a certain girl, couldn't help but be momentarily lost in thought.

Just like in the Worldview of investigators, if you, as an investigator, encounter an NPC with excessively high charm, then that NPC must not be human!

"Please return the lost item to me, thank you very much," Kirito said politely after breaking free from the charm.

We can't afford to mess with them.

The girl in front of me is definitely a terrifying monster!

In this deadly game, Kirito had been involved for more than half a year, clearly judged the strength of his opponent.

This is an existence that should absolutely not be provoked!

Because his detection skills couldn't see the opponent's health.

How can we fight if we can't even see the health bar and level?

"Okay." Yakumo Yukari casually tossed the loot she got from killing the monster to Kirito, then casually opened the Destiny Treasure Chest she had obtained.

It has to be said that the auto-pickup function that Chen Li set up for the treasure chest is really useful.

Kirito caught the Crystal with great anticipation, but when he opened the item details, Kirito eyes glazed over.

"Can only... people who died within the last 10 seconds be resurrected?"

He put in so much effort to revive the girl [Sachi] who had been "comforting each other" with him, but this was all he got in return... This was actually within Kirito's expectations.

Because when a game character dies, the real-world game helmet uses high-output microwaves to burn the brain, thus killing the game player.

If a real body dies, how can items in a game possibly be resurrected?

But all the players have had the same idea: that the players who died were not actually dead, but were hidden somewhere else by Kayaba Akihiko?

Even if Kayaba Akihiko were the most ruthless person, he wouldn't think of killing all the game players, right?

It was with this hope that Kirito came to defeat this Easter Egg monster that could drop revival items.

And as it turns out, Kayaba Akihiko really was that ruthless.

"Huh, it's just a costume card?" Yakumo Yukari was somewhat disappointed when she opened the box and saw the only item inside.

The Zombie Santa Claus dropped a Santa Claus outfit.

It has no special attributes; it's just a Christmas outfit.

Moreover... this Christmas outfit doesn't cover the stomach and chest on the upper body, nor does it cover the thighs and buttocks on the lower body.

Isn't this totally a Santa Claus costume?

"Hmm, Chen Li, are you interested?" But when Yakumo Yukari turned her head and found Chen Li looking at the costume card, she instantly became interested.

"It's alright, how about you sell me 10 Starstones?" Chen Li asked.

"No." Yakumo Yukari chose to refuse.

Yakumo Yukari initially thought the outfit card wouldn't fetch a good price, but if Chen Li was interested, that would be a different story.

If we sell it back to Sirin, we'll definitely make a fortune!

"Achoo!" Sirin sneezed from afar.

"Kirito... Kazuto Kirigaya, right?" Yakumo Yukari moved through the gap, bringing Chen Li with her as she landed in front of Kirito and took his Crystal.

Although Yakumo Yukari encountered some obstacles due to the game's rule that required a thieving skill to steal items from other players, she ultimately obtained the Crystal.

"!!" Kirito Crystal had been stolen and whose real name had been called out, was startled.

Holy crap! Box!

"How I know your real name is not important. What is important is... is the boy still heartbroken because he cannot bring back his former comrades? Is he still in pain because he cannot bring back the love of his life?"

"..."

"Just say what you want, and I can grant you any wish," Yakumo Yukari tempted.

"... Really?" Kirito's mind wavered somewhat due to the inhuman charm of Yakumo Yukari.

Maybe what they said is true.

"Of course it's true. You just need to give me a little something in return..."

"What is that?"

"One life, how about it?" Yakumo Yukari's eyes instantly turned dangerous.

"!!!"

"If you were the protagonist in the game, killing you would surely yield a pretty good Destiny Treasure Chest, right? Of course, young man, you don't need to worry so much. Isn't there a resurrection item right here?" Yakumo Yukari pointed to the Crystal in Kirito's hand that could revive game players who had died within the last 10 seconds.

"..."

"Don't offer something you don't have as payment! And you have to kill his real body for it to be a real kill, not just in the game." Chen Li shoved Yakumo Yukari's head aside.

Did you revive the other person's girlfriend? And that's your reward?

The only one who can get rewarded by deceiving and ambushing is me!

"Alright, alright, then I'll change the reward. How about we trade one life for one life?" Seeing that Chen Li had ruined the elegant, mysterious, and powerful persona she had cultivated for so long, Yakumo Yukari said directly to Kirito.

"Huh?" Kirito, puzzled.

"I'll kill you once, I'll take your Destiny Treasure Chest, and then I'll use my own life to turn the power you have in this game into reality. How about that?" Yakumo Yukari asked.

"Ah?"

"No denial means agreement. Remember, don't take your eyes off the 30-second Resurrection advertisement. And remember to log into the game immediately after you wake up in reality." After saying this, Yakumo Yukari stuffed the card containing the Revival Match Miraculous Item that Chen Li had given her into Kirito's arms, and then used a beam of light that surged from her fingertips to instantly pierce Kirito's forehead.

Ten seconds later, at the spot where Kirito turned into specks of light and died, a Destiny Treasure Chest appeared.

"Wow, a gold treasure... Huh? Why is it only purple?" Yakumo Yukari picked up the treasure chest with some dissatisfaction.

Could it be that my half-life, Yakumo Yukari, is only worth a purple "Bequest of Fate" treasure chest?

And isn't this the main character?!

"Kirito!" A loud shout came from afar.

A katana user who looked like a down-on-his-luck samurai rushed forward with his sword after seeing his friend die!

"Snap!" Yakumo Yukari snapped her fingers, instantly engulfing her opponent in the gap.

"That's the protagonist's good friend, I think his name is Klein," Chen Li said.

"Oh, an important supporting character. Let's kill him later and see what quality of Destiny Treasure Chest he drops."
