Upon hearing that, Syka immediately trembled. He had spent more than 40 years trying to get stronger every day.
To have the power he has today, he had sacrificed a lot. That's why Syka didn't want to die here.
At this moment, Hikaru also realized that Syka was hesitant, so he immediately said: "I know that you have gone through many terrible things before you reached your current level. Are you planning to die here?"
"As long as we are alive, there is still hope. If you die, it's all over, right?"
Hearing that, Syka sighed. Just like Hikaru said, as long as he was alive, there was still hope. If he dies, all his efforts will turn to ash.
He nodded, then bowed his head close to the ground and said: "Master..."
Hikaru smiled: "Good! Don't worry, I don't want to use a slave contract with you either."
Hearing that, Syka felt full of hope. If Hikaru hadn't used the slave contract, he still had hope of freedom.
"Okay, Tsuraguki…"
Hearing Hikaru's words, Tsuraguki raised her hand, and a magic circle surrounded Syka.
Immediately after that, his wounds slowly healed. After a minute, Syka completely recovered as if nothing had happened.
Syka was extremely surprised and frightened: 'This is incredible, even SSR healing magic is not this powerful.'
He raised his head to look at Tsuraguki: 'Just what kind of monster is this young man's hero?'
'Incredibly huge physical strength, and even more potent healing magic than an SSR healer.'
'Is there such an omnipotent hero in this world?'
Syka now felt a bit regretful. If he hadn't gone to look for his guild member, he wouldn't have encountered Hikaru and the monster that defeated him.
However, Syka also felt lucky because he did not die and Hikaru did not use the slave contract on him.
"Good! I have a few questions, please answer honestly." Hikaru asked.
Syka knelt on the ground and said: "Yes, master."
Hikaru nodded and said: "First, I want to know some basic information about your world."
Syka thought for a long time, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he was thinking about what information to say.
After all, the information he has about his world is extremely huge. So even if he talks about it from now till next year, he would not be able to exhaust it.
That's why Syka thought that he should tell Hikaru the most important details.
Hikaru also waited patiently. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, so he took out a chair from his space bag and sat down.
Tsuraguki then stood behind him like his bodyguard.
Syka thought for a long time, then said: "My world is called Rocky World. That place is full of rocks and minerals, so food and trees are almost non-existent."
"Hm?! Why?" Hikaru frowned and asked. He felt that Rocky World was a bit similar to Misty World.
"Like its name, Rocky World resembles a giant rock. Players in that world can only dig with tools like hoes covered in magic."
"The soil is very hard, like iron. Even if the players in that world dig deeper than 100 meters, they will still not be able to find soft soil as everything is all hard rock."
"The rock is very hard, and without water, plants cannot live. There are just rocks and similar minerals everywhere."
"Players in that world can only search for food from treasure chests provided by the system or monster meat."
"The players in that world are also bound by the level of their territory. However, they have found a way to remove that constraint."
"Like me, my territory was robbed by another player 30 years ago. At that time, I was only level 40."
"But after that, thanks to the special guild contract, I can continue to level up. However, my level depends on the level of the guild."
"For example… since my guild's level is 8, then I can level up to level 90."
"However, if I leave the guild, my level will return to level 40 like before I joined the guild."
Hearing that, Hikaru frowned, it seemed... that guilds were not useless.
He felt that this was reasonable. If the guild was useless, the system wouldn't have created it.
Syka continued: "To level up, I need to perform the missions set by the guild. After completing the mission, I will receive guild points."
"Those points can be used just like Soul Points. However, only those who have joined the guild can use guild points."
"Guild points have two functions: for members to level up and to buy items in the guild store."
"In reality, players in other worlds are no different from our world. Most worlds are the same, as there are no trees, no food."
"All worlds are almost the same, it's just that... the properties and characteristics of each world are slightly different."
Hikaru heard that and nodded, he felt as if the system had made other worlds similar to Misty World.
There was no real food.
There were no trees.
Players must rely on their territories to level up.
Most importantly, it seems that players in other worlds have found a way to level up without depending on the territory.
However, they had to depend on guilds.
The only difference is that the properties and characteristics of each world are different.
It seems... Misty World is the most recent world to appear, that's why other players see Misty World as a place where they can plunder resources.
Hikaru didn't feel worried at all, on the contrary, he felt a little excited.
That's right, if all the other worlds had no trees and had food problems, he would have an advantage that no other player could have.
"One more thing." Syka suddenly continued: "Recently, players are suddenly facing something strange."
"Everyone cannot continue to trade with the indigenous population."
Hearing that, Hikaru immediately thought of the card with the forbidden function.
'Could it be that... the scope of that card's influence was that large? Even players in other worlds are affected?'
[That's right. As I said before, all the players being managed by the system will be affected by that card.]
Hikaru heard that and was immediately happy: 'It seems... my advantages are more than what I thought.'
He looked at Syka and asked: "Does that affect you?"
"Yes, it has a lot of influence. It even upsets the wheels that have been running smoothly for many years." Syka shook his head as he spoke.
"Even though the system can provide us with food and many other things. Just relying on what the system provides is not enough for people to survive."
"On the contrary, we must try to exploit it. However, the world in which people live is not a derelict world."
"The local residents have been there for a long time, so no matter how strong the players are, they are no match for the local residents."
Hikaru frowned and asked: "Are the natives that strong?" Won't you cooperate together to take over the world?"
Syka shook his head: "The players all have their own greed and thoughts, they don't want to cooperate with each other. Even if they cooperate, they do not completely trust the other person."
"That's why so many guilds were established, like mushrooms growing after the rain. This means the players are dividing themselves into many different organizations."
"The local residents are not too strong either. However, they have established kingdoms for a long time, some have even existed for more than 50,000 years."
"They are extremely united and have a regular army. For players who already do not trust each other, when facing the army, the players are just small ants."
"Of course, in those worlds there are also extremely terrible existences that have surpassed level 99, and reached King level. There are even existences that have reached Saint level."
"That's why the players decided to trade with the local residents instead of fighting to take over the resource mines."
"But when the system suddenly banned players from trading with local residents, chaos ensued."
"Players cannot trade with local residents, so the flow of goods is frozen. Goods began to become scarce and prices gradually increased."
"Players who stock a lot of goods don't want to sell them because they're afraid this problem will continue for a long time."
"The lack of goods has caused transactions between players to stop."
"The crisis occurred at a multi-world level. The players fear something more terrible will happen…"
"War, that's what you mean, right?" Hikaru continued Syka's words.
Syka nodded: "That's right."
On Earth, resource and commodity crises are the cause of war, which is not a strange thing.
Most wars happen because of two things: Benefits and resources.
Racial conflict sounds very big, very macro, but in the end it is just because of conflict of interests and resources.
[Master, it seems… you hold a huge advantage.]
Rika's voice rang in his head, he nodded, and used his thoughts to communicate with her: "That's right. However, we don't know whether we have the ability to develop that advantage or not. Players in other worlds are still a mystery, after all."
"If I don't have any preparations or my territory is too weak, it will definitely be swallowed up by stronger players."
"Even if there is Fellea or Saraya, they can only ensure my safety. As for the residents inside the territory… who will ensure their safety?"
"That's why... the territory development must go hand in hand with the resident and military development. Only then can long-term development be secured..."
After Hikaru finished speaking, he felt that the road he needed to embark on was very long. However, he was just afraid that he won't have enough time to develop.
Currently, players in other worlds are facing a crisis, and war could break out at any time.
If a multi-world war breaks out, Misty World will also be caught up in that war.
He needs to develop his territory to the point where, even if war breaks out, his territory can still withstand the attacks of all enemies.
