Upon hearing the game system's notification, Ulysses regained his composure slightly.

Yes, he still needs to rescue Lord Jin Nuo!

Ulysses placed the support card into his card pack, and then a deep brown light surged from both sides of his arms.

[Earth Dream Assist Bonus: Increases defense by 12%.]

Ulysses leaves the game store and returns to the tutorial battles.

This time, with the attribute bonus from Earth Dream, defeating his enemies became extremely easy.

After instantly killing six members of the male insect guard team, the story resumed automatically.

The game's protagonist, Yuri, puts away his weapon and hurriedly chases after the fleeing Kinno.

In a dimly lit alley, Yuri blocked his way.

This alley is sandwiched between two high-rise buildings, so it is dark and damp and never sees sunlight.

Moreover, one end of the road is blocked by a high wall, and there is only one exit on all four sides. Hiding here is really not a good choice for Jin Nuo.

The alley was very narrow, only about one and a half meters wide.

Yuri quickened his pace and grabbed Kinno's arm. He said firmly:

"Your Excellency Jin Nuo, please believe me. This crisis has come too suddenly. You must evacuate as soon as possible!"

Jin Nuo sneered:

"Danger? If you're in danger, why don't you run away first?"

Upon hearing this, Yuri straightened up, clenched his right fist, and placed it on his left chest—a military salute.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Major General of the Third Protection Legion, the Slayer—Morfit."

His Excellency Jin Nuo's expression changed slightly:

"What? You're Yuri Murphy? The S-class female soldier who single-handedly shattered a miniature black hole a month ago?"

A newspaper appeared in front of Yuri.

Small black holes are generally caused by the collapse of stars (such as the Sun) and require a certain mass (weight) to maintain themselves.

However, a little over a month ago, a small black hole suddenly appeared inexplicably near the capital planet.

This black hole is very close to the capital planet; even the residents on the ground can see it by looking up.

It was as if a large hole had been torn in the sky, causing some panic among the residents of the capital planet.

Just as the military was about to use warships to shatter the black hole.

Major General Yuri Murphy of the Third Protection Corps pilots his mech into space alone.

He shattered the black hole with a single move, using the mantis knife.

As the mass of a black hole disappears, smaller black holes gradually dissipate.

but……

Yuri narrowed his eyes and looked at Lord Jinno:

"Sir, a month has passed since this incident. How did you know?"

The Zerg's interstellar range is so vast that countless strange and unusual events occur every day.

Apart from news about the male insects, everything else is basically only reported within this galaxy.

News like shattering a small black hole only made it to the top of the trending searches on the capital planet.

"Lord Jinno, have you been on the capital planet for over a month?" Yuri asked with a furrowed brow, incredulous. "Afro planet has regulations that male insects cannot be away from home for more than a week. Why haven't you returned yet?"

When Jinno was exposed, he grabbed Yuri by the collar, forcing the strong female insect to lower her head.

"Yuri, are you going to help those bastards capture me too? In my heart, you are different from them, but now, I am very disappointed in you."

His Excellency Jin Nuo's tone was unfriendly, his domineering manner tinged with a hint of danger.

Yuri couldn't understand Kinno's words. He lowered his head and said blankly:

"I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to get you away from danger, away from the impending explosion."

Upon hearing this, Jin Nuo's pupils constricted, like golden stars.

"I will be checked for my identity wherever I go. Let alone leaving the capital planet, I will be captured by the male insect guard team as soon as I leave the central city."

Jin Nuo's tone was filled with helplessness mixed with anger as he said:

"I will never compromise, Yuri, you forced me to do this!"

Yuri raised his head and met Lord Jinno's gaze, his eyes filled with confusion.

The next moment, his pupils trembled violently.

It turned out that, without anyone noticing, Lord Jin Nuo's tail hook had already slipped into his trousers.

In the dimly lit alley, which was only one and a half meters wide, the two people were stacked on top of each other.

Yuri's face was pressed against the cold building, but a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead from the heat.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuri collapsed in the alley, her eyes filled with tears and her body completely exhausted.

Jin Nuo absorbed the power of the female essence and gained temporary great strength.

He stood up, facing Yuri, his expression complex.

Suddenly, a blinding beam of light shone down.

The dimly lit alleyway was greeted by the first ray of light.

Yuri weakly reached out and grasped the hem of Lord Jinno's robe. He groaned feebly.

"Be careful, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, blinding light enveloped the entire commercial district.

The intense heat and the destructive power of light.

In the blink of an eye, the two were engulfed by the explosion.

When the blinding white light disappeared.

Darkness descended once more.

A pair of eyes opened from the darkness.

The protagonist Yuri's voice rang out:

"I'm trapped in a strange time loop. Here, I can be reborn infinitely, but I can't save everyone."

What should I do? Should I embark on this difficult path?

A multiple-choice question appeared before Ulysses.

Embarking on the Path of Cycle

[Abandon the path of repetition]

Without hesitation, Ulysses clicked on the first option and embarked on the path of the cycle.

"Ha, I will not give up! I will definitely lead the five male insects to break out of the time loop!" The game protagonist's voice was deafening.

Then a stirring piece of music began to play.

The game's tutorial has ended.

A screen of light appeared before Ulysses' eyes.

In the upper left corner of the screen, there is a portrait of Ulysses, with the word "Ulysses" next to it.

Next to the avatar are two rows of buttons that gleam with gold.

[First Recharge] [Top Up] [Level Ranking] [Gift Pack] [Black Market] [In-Game Shop]

In the very center of the screen is the game character Yuri.

Below the character is a row of equipment slots and three companion slots.

Below the equipment menu is a large, round button: [Adventure].

Level after level awaits the players' challenge.

Ulysses explored the area and discovered that to trigger the next part of the story, he had to gain experience by completing levels and reach level 5.

You can unlock a new story segment every 5 levels.

If you want to see more of the story besides the main plot, you can only look at the stories behind the character cards.

Seeing the two brightly lit buttons, "First Recharge" and "Gift Pack," Yurissi clicked on them without hesitation.

[First Recharge] You only need 6 credits to get a summon ticket worth 98.

The gift pack has 8 tiers:

6, 12, 68, 98, 198, 328, 648, 1998.

The gift pack includes companion gifts, gold coins, diamonds, and other in-game currencies.

Furthermore, the 1998 gift package, limited to five purchases, includes a silk pajama set in the same color scheme as the male insect, which can be used to dress him up.

As a general, Ulysses can earn a million credits by slaying a single interstellar beast.

Upon seeing these gift packages, he didn't hesitate to fill them all up.

He would buy the gift packs only as many times as the purchase limit allowed.

He then opened the game store and bought all the male insect costumes currently available for sale.

After buying the clothes, Ulysses blushed and opened the lottery page.

You can draw a prize once for 98 credits, which is equivalent to 980 game diamonds.

Prizes include companion cards, coins, and companion gifts.

Ulysses was engrossed in drawing cards, and when he came to his senses, it was already midnight.

The gaming helmet emitted a notification sound:

[Your gaming time for today has reached 12 hours. Please take a break, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to your brain.]

Ulysses took off his gaming helmet and took a deep breath.

A gust of cold wind cleared his mind slightly, but only slightly.

He has accumulated 30,000 credits through top-ups and has drawn 4 SR-level cards and 9 S-level cards.

He read all the stories on the cards; they were very exciting. Ulysses read them over and over again in the game.

Having amassed such a fortune in just one day, he couldn't resist showing it off in the square.
