Chapter 421: Yellow Springs Mission: The Giant About to Kick Down the Wall

"Master, what is the point of you issuing a 【Yellow Springs Mission】?"

A Fu was full of confusion and said, "That Konoha player who died already had 【Tier 2】 strength; even if you threw him into the *Attack on Titan* world, there wouldn't be much room for growth."

*Attack on Titan* is a 【Tier 1】 world.

The 【Loop】 story of the River of Fate,

is that the world suddenly saw the appearance of a natural enemy of humanity: 【Giant】s. They have no reason, are enormous in size, and possess only a crazy desire to devour humans.

Under the threat of death, humanity built three circular giant walls to imprison themselves and hide from the Giants' attacks.

The world's strength and the concentration of the origin it contains,

are, just as A Fu said, very low; at most, they are comparable to the Demon Slayer World.

A 【Tier 2】 player thrown into the 【Juren Shijie】 simply cannot obtain enough Reward Points.

A Fu said, "Rather than issuing a Yellow Springs Mission to fulfill the obsessions of countless undead from other worlds, it would be better to just let players buy Yellow Springs Flowers with Reward Points."

These Yellow Springs Missions are, in essence, about resolving the obsessions of dead spirits.

In countless different worlds, there are countless dead spirits; those with deep obsessions are ferried into the Yellow Springs and eventually eaten as food by the 【Demon King】.

Looking at A Fu's inquisitive gaze, Fang Yi did not keep him in suspense and explained, "【Huangquan Lu】 is very special. Although it belongs to the Polluted World, its faction status is absolutely neutral. Aside from ferrying spirits whose obsessions have not dissipated, it does nothing else."

A Fu nodded upon hearing this; it was indeed so.

"These dead spirits from countless different worlds have deep obsessions; even after dying, they are unwilling to dissipate and linger in the world."

"By resolving their obsessions for them, one can ferry them into the Samsara Game."

Fang Yi's eyes shone; these were all high-quality players.

Although 【Resurrection】 is possible with Resurrection Coins, the consumption of origin is very high.

【Tier 1】 is fine, but as players gradually grow to 【Tier 2】, the origin required for resurrection also rises accordingly.

The resurrection effect of a Resurrection Coin is like Fang Yi paying money to buy people from the hands of the 【Demon King】.

A Yellow Springs Mission is equivalent to bypassing the Demon King directly and quietly abducting the spirits, which can greatly save on expenses.

Therefore, it is better to simply cancel the Reward Points required for player resurrection and replace it with recruiting new people for the Samsara Game; if they recruit a new person, they can be resurrected for free.

In this way, Fang Yi won't need to run around to various worlds until he's exhausted, and he can directly recruit a large number of excellent newcomers.

A narrow street, with low houses packed tightly together.

The familiar thick, high wall, like a 【Shield】, surrounds all the buildings.

The blurred vision gradually clears,

"Am I not... dead?"

Eren suddenly widened his eyes, stretched out his hands, and looked at his intact body, unable to believe it.

The street was full of villagers watching the excitement,

The heavy city gate was lowered, and accompanied by the melodious sound of bells, a team of remnants slowly walked out from the wall opening.

This scene is so familiar.

It's the people from the Survey Corps! Something is wrong... Is this Wall Maria, which has already fallen?

"Mikasa? It's really you, are you still alive?!"

Eren turned his head abruptly and saw the black-haired girl standing beside him, shouting loudly at once.

But the other party acted as if she couldn't hear him, not even turning her head; seeing this, he wanted to reach out and touch her,

Bang.

He was blocked by an invisible 【Barrier】.

"The countdown for the Yellow Springs Mission hasn't ended yet, don't waste your energy, kid."

Eren looked up and saw the person speaking: a middle-aged man with strange attire, white hair, and a 【Steel Scrap】 forehead protector.

"Who are you?"

Although Eren has low emotional intelligence, his observation skills are very sharp.

No one on the entire noisy street noticed him, as if he were isolated, yet the man in front of him could talk to him.

Moreover, he had never seen this person in the nearby neighborhood.

A stranger. "Instead of asking who I am, you'd better search your brain; the Samsara Game should have already told you."

Jiraiya did not expect that the Yellow Springs Mission would be so special.

To perform a mission together with a dead spirit.

If one can complete the main quest while ensuring the dead spirit does not die, one can get a large amount of Reward Points in addition to the Yellow Springs Flower.

"Samsara Game?!"

Before Eren could think, a flood of information surged up, and he muttered, "I'm already dead?"

He was just confused a moment ago, but now he is convinced.

A 【Colossal Giant】 smashed through Wall Maria, countless Giants poured into the city crazily, and then it was a bloody massacre.

Himself, including Mikasa and Armin, were all eaten by Giants.

"How could I die? I shouldn't have died..."

This strange thought suddenly popped into Eren's mind,

He always felt that he shouldn't have been killed by a Giant; everything was very wrong.

"The consciousness of the 【Juren Shijie】 has been polluted, so the 【Loop】 of the River of Fate will naturally collapse; this is what is commonly known as a plot riot."

Fang Yi observed the interaction between the two, recorded it, and prepared to check for gaps and make up for them.

According to the original fate, as the favored one of fate in the 【Juren Shijie】, Eren had the ability to control all Giants in the past and future; all crises were things he could overcome without danger.

He would follow the development of fate, successfully become a member of the Survey Corps, experience a series of events, and finally launch the 【Rumbling】 to temporarily end the war in the Giant world.

However, after the contamination eroded the world,

the one favored by fate was eaten by a Giant right at the start; no wonder his obsession is so profound.

"Samsara Game... after completing the Main Quest, I can truly be resurrected and return to the real world?"

Eren felt as if he were dreaming; it was absurd and bizarre.

Jiraiya looked at the dazed Eren and said with a relaxed smile, "Understand now, kid? What we need to do right now is complete the Main Quest."

Eren raised his head, stared at Jiraiya, an inexplicable emotion emerging in his eyes, and asked, "So, everything in my mind is real? I really died once, and then was temporarily resurrected by the Samsara Game?"

Right now,

the civilians standing around and the undamaged Wall Maria all indicated that he had returned to the time just before the Colossal Giant was about to appear.

After hearing Eren's words, Jiraiya silently recorded all the information in his mind and then said, "That should be correct. At the very least, when I encountered you, you were already dead."

At that time, when he released the sensing ability of the 【Prophet】, the undead he chose was Eren.

At this point, Jiraiya finally figured out the special nature of the 【Huangquan Lu】 map and muttered to himself, "So that's it. Is this a very special way of recruiting players?"

It is just like the ninjas who received a Game Invitation and became players.

He himself was now a very special Invitation Letter, or rather, a guide; the undead were the players who needed to be recruited. As long as the Main Quest was completed and Eren was kept alive, the other party would become a new player, just like those ninjas who received a Game Invitation.

"A good thing!"

Jiraiya weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

It was different from those who became players through the Invitation Letter issued periodically by the 【Family System】.

Players selected by the Samsara Game for special recruitment were mostly beings with excellent potential and talent.

If he could act as a guide and recruit the other party as a player, it would be a huge benefit to Konoha.

However, the level of danger was also immense.

Jiraiya could sense that all his abilities were sealed and could not be utilized; he was even weaker than an ordinary person in the Ninja World.

It was just like those civilians in the worlds of Kocho Shinobu and Claymore.

Jiraiya thought to himself, "So, does Mr. Fang Yi mean that the foundation for completing the Yellow Springs Mission requires starting with the physical strength of the undead world?"

This mission mode was undoubtedly very difficult.

Once the mission failed, what awaited him was death.

Thinking of the mission prompt that he could spend 【Yellow Springs Point】 to temporarily purchase game items from this world, Jiraiya hurriedly opened the Player Panel and, after pulling up the Mall,

looked at a device with a strange design and asked, "Kid, what is Vertical Maneuvering Equipment?"
