- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 11-20
Hearing Chen Ye’s words, the middle-aged woman’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What do you mean?” she demanded.
Chen Ye smiled and said, “Information that can achieve a super god rating is worth a lot. Trust me, if I set the price at 20 million, there will be plenty of people eager to buy it. What do you think?”
“You… you…” The middle-aged woman wanted to call him shameless, but she held back, fearing to offend him. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, 20 million. I agree! But you must promise not to sell it to anyone else for a month.”
The rule in the Reincarnation Space is that one can only attempt a dungeon once a month, whether they succeed or fail.
The middle-aged woman had failed this mission alongside Chen Ye, so she would have to wait a month to try again.
“Deal!” Chen Ye agreed readily, feeling quite pleased.
Gaining 20 million in an instant would make anyone happy.
At the same time, Chen Ye couldn’t help but marvel at how wealthy this middle-aged reincarnator was!
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you in the Reincarnation Space. Come out quickly,” the middle-aged woman said, then mentally commanded, “Return,” and disappeared into thin air.
Chen Ye didn’t leave immediately because he had another task to complete.
He had promised Liu Jianming to ask Chief Huang to plead for leniency on his behalf.
Even though this was just a dungeon world, Chen Ye saw the characters as real people with flesh and blood. Keeping promises was important.
Standing outside Chief Huang’s office, Chen Ye took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” came Chief Huang’s voice from inside.
Chen Ye pushed the door open and found not only Chief Huang but also a middle-aged man in the office.
The man, in his early thirties, looked worn and had a stubbly beard and a pair of very melancholy eyes.
“Ah Ming, you’re just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Ah Yan, Chan Wing Yan. He’s an undercover cop who has now resumed his police identity. You’ll be colleagues from now on,” Chief Huang said.
Chan Wing Yan extended his hand, “Hello, Ah Ming.”
Chen Ye shook his hand, “Hello, Brother Yan. Welcome back to the force.”
Hearing this, Chan Wing Yan smiled happily. After ten years undercover, he was desperate to return to his police identity. Now that his wish was granted, he was naturally overjoyed.
“Ah Ming, Chief Huang has been praising you, saying you have great talent,” Chan Wing Yan said.
Chen Ye smiled and said, “Chief Huang is too kind.”
Chief Huang laughed, “Ah Ming, you’re just in time. We’re having a celebration banquet later. You, the hero, must not be absent.”
But Chen Ye shook his head, “Chief Huang, I can’t attend the celebration banquet. I have a favor to ask.”
“Oh?” Chief Huang asked curiously, “What is it?”
“It’s about Inspector Liu Jianming… Chief Huang, Inspector Liu really wanted to be a good cop, but he was coerced by Han Chen. I hope you can ask the judge for leniency for him.”
Chief Huang was silent for a moment, then readily agreed, “Ah Ming, since you asked, I’ll do it. But you must attend the celebration banquet!”
“Chief Huang, I’d love to join you, but I really have something important to do,” Chen Ye refused again.
“Something important? Alright, I won’t force you,” Chief Huang said.
…
After leaving Chief Huang’s office, Chen Ye went into the bathroom and mentally commanded, “Return.”
Immediately, he vanished from the bathroom.
…
When Chen Ye regained his sight, he found himself back in the Reincarnation Space’s plaza.
He checked the time and was surprised to find that although he had spent seven or eight hours in the “Infernal Affairs” dungeon, only an hour had passed here!
The time flow in the Reincarnation Space was consistent with the real world.
This meant that time in the dungeon world flowed much faster than in the real world.
According to his memories, Chen Ye understood the situation.
No matter how long a reincarnator stayed in the dungeon world, only an hour would have passed in the real world upon their return.
Even if someone stayed in the dungeon world for ten years, they would find that only an hour had passed in the real world.
Such an amazing time dilation ratio!
No wonder so many believed that the Reincarnation Space was a creation of the gods.
Who else but gods could create something so miraculous?
“You have a new communication message. ‘Ake’ invites you to a video call. Please respond promptly,” a notification from the AI rang in Chen Ye’s ears, startling him.
“Open the video,” Chen Ye commanded.
Soon, a holographic video chat window appeared in front of him.
In the Reincarnation Space, unless the owner allowed it, others couldn’t see any personal information or interactions.
So whether Chen Ye was checking his status panel or having a video call, others would only see him standing still, talking to himself.
At this moment, a masked girl appeared in the video chat window.
———————-
Chapter 12
“Asura, it’s me.”
“How do you plan to trade the strategy information for the ‘Infernal Affairs’ instance?” the masked girl known as ‘Ake’ asked.
Chen Ye sized up the masked girl. Her attire was similar to his own; both wore masks. In the Reincarnation Space, to hide one’s true identity, appearances could be altered at will, though gender could not.
“I’ve said it before, I want a cash transaction,” Chen Ye replied. After a moment’s thought, he added, “But 20 million in cash is too bulky and inconvenient to carry. Let’s change it to gold bars worth 20 million instead!”
Twenty million in cash would be too large to fit in a single bag. In contrast, gold bars would take up much less space, fitting into a small box.
“No problem… but how do I give you the gold bars?” the masked girl asked.
This was indeed a tricky issue. Meeting in person would reveal their true identities.
Seeing Chen Ye’s hesitation, the masked girl suggested, “If you trust me, you can provide your shipping address. I’ll mail the gold bars to you. Once you receive them, you can return to the Reincarnation Space that evening and give me the ‘Infernal Affairs’ instance information. How about that?”
“Absolutely not!” Chen Ye rejected the idea without hesitation. Revealing his shipping address, even a fake one, posed a risk. Anyone determined enough could trace it back to him.
“Then we can only trade through the Reincarnation Space channels,” the masked girl said. “However, the transaction fee is very high, a 30% cut. You would have to cover that cost.”
Chen Ye’s eyes lit up at this. He hadn’t known the Reincarnation Space could facilitate transactions. The fee was steep at 30%, which would be six million out of twenty million. But for the sake of safety, it was a necessary expense.
“Alright, we’ll use the Reincarnation Space for the transaction. Let’s split the fee 50-50,” Chen Ye proposed.
The masked girl hesitated. She wanted to curse him but held back. “Fine! Tomorrow night we’ll make the trade. Goodbye!” she said, then abruptly ended the call, clearly annoyed.
Chen Ye didn’t mind and closed the video interface.
Just as he did, a new communication notification appeared:
“You have a new message. ‘Cat Lover’ is inviting you to a video call. Please respond promptly.”
Chen Ye accepted, and soon a muscular man appeared in the video.
“Wow, you must be the legendary Asura!” the muscular man exclaimed exaggeratedly.
“And you are?” Chen Ye asked, puzzled.
“I’m a huge fan! You just got an SSS super god rating. Amazing! Can you share the strategy for the ‘Infernal Affairs’ instance?”
“No,” Chen Ye replied coldly and ended the call.
Giving away the ‘Infernal Affairs’ strategy for free? They must think he’s a fool!
Another notification appeared immediately:
“You have a new message. ‘Deer’ is inviting you to a video call. Please respond promptly.”
Chen Ye accepted, and a cute girl appeared on the screen.
“Hello, Asura. I’d like the ‘Infernal Affairs’ strategy. I don’t have money, but I’m very beautiful. If you give me the strategy, I can stay with you for a month. You can do whatever you want with me during that time…”
Chen Ye’s face darkened, and he ended the call.
Another communication request came through immediately after. It seemed there was a long line of people wanting to video chat with him.
Annoyed, Chen Ye commanded the system, “System, block all communication requests except from ‘Ake’ for now.”
“Understood, blocking all requests except from ‘Ake’.”
Finally, peace.
Chen Ye began to deal with his rewards.
For this mission, he received four rewards:
– Reincarnation Points: 10,000 points.
– Mental Attribute +10.
– Skill: Disguise (Master).
– Dungeon Cooldown Reset Card.
The rewards were substantial. Tasks rated below an S level usually only awarded a single reincarnation point, and very few at that. Getting four rewards was exceptional.
The mental attribute and disguise skill were automatically added. Now, he needed to handle the Reincarnation Points and the cooldown reset card.
The cooldown reset card was the most satisfying reward. Using it would allow him to skip the one-month wait and continue dungeon tasks immediately.
First, he dealt with the Reincarnation Points. These points were essentially the hard currency in the Reincarnation Space. They could be used to buy items and medicines in the Reincarnation Mall. With luck, one could even purchase special skills.
Failing a task in the safe zone also incurred a penalty of Reincarnation Points. Besides purchasing items, the points could upgrade skill proficiency.
But their most significant use was to exchange for potential points.
300 points could be exchanged for one potential point.
After some thought, Chen Ye spent 6,000 points to exchange for 20 potential points, which he distributed between his strength and agility attributes.
He kept the remaining 4,000 points for future use.
————————
Chapter 13
After adding 20 potential points, Chen Ye immediately felt a surge of strength, his power more than doubling, and his body felt much lighter.
At the same time, a burning pain spread across his arm, as if it had been scorched by fire.
Looking at his arm, Chen Ye noticed a symbol “E” had appeared in the center of his crescent moon tattoo.
[Name: Asura
Reincarnation ID: (Area C) 90086
Constitution: 12
Mental Strength: 24
Strength: 25
Agility: 15
Potential Points: 0
Skills: English (Proficient), Driving (Beginner), Shooting (Master), Disguise (Master)
Martial Arts: None
Superpowers: None
Reincarnation Points: 4122
Overall Rating: E]
Seeing his overall rating change to “E,” Chen Ye’s eyes lit up. Now, if he looked for a job and showed the “E” symbol in the center of his crescent moon tattoo, he could easily secure a high-paying position!
Moreover, the rating given by the Reincarnation System, although similar to the tattoo, was distinct. The “E” symbol on Chen Ye’s arm had a faint red glow, making it impossible to fake with just a tattoo.
Chen Ye now had a clear understanding of the importance of Reincarnation Points.
No wonder Ake, the masked girl, was willing to offer 20 million for his strategy. Even if the rewards were halved, achieving an SSS rating would still yield 5000 Reincarnation Points.
Unfortunately, Chen Ye could no longer enter the “Infernal Affairs” dungeon world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sold the strategy at all.
Next, Chen Ye retrieved the dungeon cooldown reset card from his “personal warehouse.”
The personal warehouse was a private space of about 100 cubic meters that every reincarnator had access to. It could only be used in the Reincarnation Space and could only store items produced within the space. Without trading, no reincarnator could bring real-world items into the Reincarnation Space. Even after a trade, the items would be immediately excluded.
Looking at the card in his hand, Chen Ye decided not to use it yet. Although there were still several hours left before the Reincarnation Space closed for the day, enough time to attempt another dungeon, he had just gone through the “Infernal Affairs” instance and felt mentally exhausted. Attempting another dungeon in his current state would be unwise.
To be safe, Chen Ye chose to rest. After wandering around the Reincarnation Space for a bit, he left early and returned to the real world.
Back in the real world, he was in his room. The time was 3:11 AM, a few hours before dawn. Chen Ye decided to get some sleep.
…
Moon Bay Community was one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Jin’an City. Only the wealthy or influential could afford to live there.
Shortly after Chen Ye fell asleep, a girl appeared out of thin air in a room of a villa in Moon Bay.
The girl, about eighteen years old, wore a short dress that perfectly showcased her long, slender legs. Her delicate face had exquisite features, fair skin, large dark eyes with long eyelashes, a well-defined nose, and a small, pretty mouth. She was stunningly beautiful.
She was the masked girl from the Reincarnation Space, Ake, who had just returned.
“Asura!!!” She gritted her teeth as she said the name.
She picked up a phone from the table and dialed a number.
“Hello, Dad!”
A sleepy voice answered, “Sweetheart, why aren’t you asleep yet? Oh, I remember, you had a dungeon run tonight. How did it go? What rating did you get?”
Ake stayed silent for a moment. Talking about the dungeon run could ruin their father-daughter relationship.
“Dad, I need some money. 20 million.”
“Can you tell me what it’s for?” her father asked.
Ake calmly replied, “Someone achieved an SSS super god rating in the Reincarnation Space tonight. I contacted him to buy his strategy.”
“Wow… Who is this person? Achieving such a high rating is unprecedented! 20 million for the strategy is a fair price. You did the right thing, sweetheart. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”
“By the way, Dad, do you know anyone who deals in gold? The person wants to trade through the Reincarnation Space using 20 million worth of gold.”
“I do know someone! Coincidentally, I just closed a deal and will be back by morning. If you can wait, I’ll handle it for you when I return.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back!”
—————–
Chapter 14
Morning.
Chen Ye had just finished washing up when the door opened. A middle-aged man with a stubbly beard walked in, carrying some breakfast.
Seeing Chen Ye, the man smiled, “Oh, you’re up early today? That’s progress! There’s breakfast on the table, eat it before heading to school.”
“Okay, got it,” Chen Ye replied, keeping his gaze on the middle-aged man.
This man was his current father, Chen Wuping.
Chen’s father was actually only in his early forties, but due to life’s hardships and frequent night shifts, his body had taken a toll, making him look older than his age.
He was a man deserving of respect!
From what Chen Ye knew, the mother of this body had mysteriously disappeared after giving birth to him, never to be found again.
It was Chen Wuping who had single-handedly raised Chen Ye through thick and thin.
Noticing Chen Ye’s gaze, Chen Wuping asked, “What’s up? Something on my face?”
“No… It’s getting late. I’m heading to school,” Chen Ye said, grabbing his breakfast and leaving the house.
At School.
As soon as Chen Ye entered the classroom, he was surprised to hear everyone talking about “Asura.”
“Xiao Chao, I heard someone got an ‘SSS’ super god rating in the Reincarnation Space last night. Is it true?”
“Yeah, it’s true. I was in the Reincarnation Space last night too and heard the system announcement.”
“Wow, this guy is awesome. I wonder who it is.”
“I heard it’s someone with the alias ‘Asura.’ Incredible!”
“I know the alias, but I want to know the real identity. I’d love to meet and worship him.”
“I’ve seen Asura’s appearance in the Reincarnation Space. He’s a masked assassin, clearly not wanting to reveal his true identity. Apart from the gender, appearances can be altered freely in the Reincarnation Space, so the only confirmed detail is that he’s a man.”
“An ‘SSS’ super god rating, unprecedented! And it was in the difficult ‘Infernal Affairs’ instance. Check your phones, this has even made it to national news, and the internet is buzzing about him.”
“Wow, look at the Reincarnation Forum. Someone is offering 30 million to buy Asura’s strategy.”
“Rich people can be so extravagant… But if I had the money, I’d want to buy it too!”
…
Listening to his classmates’ discussions, Chen Ye maintained a calm exterior, but inside, he was a bit nervous.
If anyone discovered that he was “Asura,” things would get complicated.
Luckily, the previous owner of this body hadn’t been foolish enough to reveal his Reincarnation Space identity to any friends.
Otherwise, last night’s events would have brought endless trouble.
Chen Ye then took out his phone and went online.
As his classmates mentioned, the internet was flooded with mentions of “Asura.”
If this world had trending searches, “Asura” would definitely be at the top.
Chen Ye then searched the Reincarnation Forum.
The Reincarnation Forum was a large official online platform established after the appearance of the Reincarnation Space, where many users gathered to discuss topics related to the space. It was one of the favorite sites for countless reincarnators.
Upon opening the forum, Chen Ye immediately saw a post with numerous replies.
“30 Million for Asura’s ‘Infernal Affairs’ Strategy”
“I am willing to offer 30 million for Asura’s first-hand strategy on clearing the ‘Infernal Affairs’ instance. If Asura is interested in selling, please contact me in the Reincarnation Space. My ID is ‘Nine Blades.'”
The post was anonymous, but the replies were abundant:
“Wow, a millionaire offering 30 million just like that!”
“Damn, it feels good to be rich!”
“Seriously, if I had 30 million, I’d also buy Asura’s strategy. An ‘SSS’ rating is so rare, the point rewards must be high. Even if it’s not a first clear, getting half the rewards would still be sweet!”
“Among the 127 bids I’ve seen so far, this is the highest offer!”
“To Asura: I’m a top-tier beauty. If you don’t need money, consider selling the strategy to me. I’m willing to offer myself in exchange…”
“No pics, no proof!”
…
Seeing the post, Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.
30 million?
Did he sell it too cheaply?
But Chen Ye didn’t mind too much. Even if he lost out a bit, it wasn’t a big deal.
Compared to this anonymous poster, the masked girl ‘Ake’ seemed more trustworthy.
Moreover, the 30 million offer could be a trap.
Chen Ye wasn’t greedy. Knowing when to quit was the smart thing to do.
—————–
Chapter 15
Noon.
As soon as the school bell rang, students began heading to the cafeteria in small groups.
“Old Chen!!”
A chubby boy sitting behind Chen Ye patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go, lunch is on me today.”
The chubby boy’s name was Jiang Tao, one of the few friends of the body Chen Ye now inhabited.
Chen Ye smiled and asked, “Feeling generous today? Did you strike it rich?”
“Hehe!” Jiang Tao grinned. “I did a dungeon run last night and got a ‘C’ rating, earning 300 points. My dad was so happy, he gave me a thousand bucks!”
Chen Ye understood now. This guy’s offer to treat him to lunch was just an excuse to show off.
He played along, feigning surprise. “Impressive, what dungeon was it?”
“Haha, it was ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’… Old Chen, want the strategy? Call me ‘bro’ and I’ll share it with you!”
Jiang Tao said proudly.
Chen Ye, not interested, stood up and said, “Didn’t you say you were treating me to lunch? Let’s go!”
Chen Ye knew a bit about the ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ dungeon. The main task was based on reputation, and it had been thoroughly explored by others. He had no interest in it.
“Wow, Old Chen, acting all tough now? Let’s see how long you can keep it up… Anyway, if you want the strategy, you have to call me ‘bro,'” Jiang Tao shouted as he followed Chen Ye, deliberately loud to attract attention from the other students.
Typical teenage need for attention!
Ignoring him, Chen Ye asked, “So, what are we eating?”
Jiang Tao gritted his teeth and said, “We’re going to De Li Restaurant for a good meal!”
De Li Restaurant.
This was the best restaurant near the school. Not only was the food good, but the ambiance was excellent. Of course, the prices were also high. Affluent students often dined there.
Today, Jiang Tao was clearly willing to splurge to show off in front of Chen Ye.
However, Chen Ye was not someone who took advantage of others. He planned to treat Jiang Tao in return once he received the 20 million in gold bars.
They entered the restaurant, found a small table, and Jiang Tao promptly ordered dishes totaling at least three to four hundred yuan. He was probably craving the food himself.
The restaurant was bustling with many customers, including several students from nearby schools.
“Wow, the school beauty, Wen Xingyi, is here too!” Jiang Tao exclaimed, nudging Chen Ye. “Old Chen, look at the entrance.”
Following Jiang Tao’s indication, Chen Ye saw a group of girls entering the restaurant. They were wearing the same school uniform as him, indicating they were from the same school. One of the girls stood out with her stunning looks, fair skin, and long legs, exuding youthful charm.
From his body’s memories, Chen Ye knew this girl was the school beauty, Wen Xingyi.
Chen Ye glanced at her briefly before looking away. Despite her beauty, she didn’t hold much allure for him.
Jiang Tao also just took a few more glances before turning away. Contrary to the stereotype, not many people in reality lose their composure upon seeing a beautiful girl.
“Old Chen, do you really not want the ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ dungeon strategy?” Jiang Tao asked.
“That dungeon has been overplayed. I’m not interested,” Chen Ye replied.
“That’s a shame…” Jiang Tao said, then added, “Old Chen, actually, there’s a school beauty in the ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ dungeon too. Though not as pretty as our Wen Xingyi, her figure is top-notch! But she likes talented guys, not easy to impress…”
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s interest was piqued. He remembered the plot of ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ and knew how the protagonist won over the school beauty.
If he went, he was confident he could get the school beauty to fall for him… but he was just entertaining the thought.
He wasn’t so trivial as to waste a dungeon attempt just for a girl. Yes, Chen Ye was a true straight man!
Jiang Tao lowered his voice and whispered, “I heard from someone that our classmate Li Jing managed to hook up with the school beauty in the ‘Goodbye Mr. Loser’ dungeon. Don’t know if it’s true…”
He said this with a look of envy and jealousy.
Chen Ye was speechless, marveling at the boundless energy of these teenagers. Although his body was that of a teenager, his mental age was much more mature.
Soon, their food arrived. The delicious meal quickly shut Jiang Tao up as he ate voraciously. In no time, several dishes were polished off.
“Old Chen, are you full? We can order more if you’re not.”
“I’m full!” Chen Ye said, standing up. “I’m going to the restroom. Wait for me here.”
“Sure, go ahead!” Jiang Tao took out his phone and started browsing the internet.
Just like in the real world, many people here were also glued to their phones.
…
As Chen Ye washed his hands in the men’s restroom, he overheard a girl talking on the phone outside:
“Dad, when will you be back? I need to make the trade tonight, and the gold bars must be ready in advance… Yes… No need to bring it, I’ve already had lunch with my classmates… Also, 20 million in gold bars might not be enough; I have to cover half the transaction fee, which comes to about 23.5 million… Okay, I’ll wait for you at school.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
Pretending nothing had happened, he calmly walked out of the restroom and saw the girl on the phone…
——————
Chapter 16
Wen Xingyi!!!
The girl making the phone call turned out to be none other than Wen Xingyi.
And.
Based on what she revealed, it was obvious that she was the masked girl from the Reincarnation Space!
Chen Ye never would have guessed that the masked girl “Ake” he was dealing with was actually his classmate.
What a coincidence!!
With this realization, Chen Ye maintained a calm facade as he passed by Wen Xingyi.
Back at the dining table.
Chen Ye asked, “Fatty, how much do you know about Wen Xingyi?”
Hearing this, Jiang Tao was stunned. He looked up in surprise, then shook his head with a mischievous smile and said, “What’s up, Old Chen? Are you interested in Wen Xiaohua? I advise you to give up! Last time, that guy Cao Bin brought a supercar convoy to confess to her, and she mercilessly rejected him. Do you think you stand a chance?”
Chen Ye was speechless. “I’m not interested in her like that. I just want to know if her family is wealthy.”
“Seriously, Old Chen? You haven’t even figured out her background and you’re thinking of pursuing her? Her family is loaded. You know Ankang Real Estate in this city? The chairman, Wen Chenggong, is her father.”
Fatty continued to advise, “Old Chen, it’s good to be ambitious, but knowingly flying into the fire is irrational. Listen to your brother and pick another target!”
“Alright, alright, I hear you.”
Chen Ye didn’t bother explaining. He stood up and said, “Let’s go if we’re done eating.”
“Wait, I’ll pay the bill. I said I’d treat, don’t fight me on this!”
“No one’s fighting you!”
“Geez, can’t you be polite for once?”
…
After lunch.
The two returned to school and resumed their daily student routine: attending classes.
However, Chen Ye couldn’t focus on the lectures at all.
He was already considering which dungeon to tackle tonight.
He had a “Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card,” which allowed him to bypass the usual month-long cooldown and immediately take on another dungeon.
After pondering the whole afternoon, Chen Ye decided to challenge the “Tower of Reincarnation” tonight!
The Tower of Reincarnation!
The most dangerous place in the Reincarnation Space.
The Tower of Reincarnation has 99 floors, each one a perilous, horrifying world!!
Moreover, the tasks issued by the Reincarnation System within these dungeons, if not completed, result in immediate erasure, which means death…
To challenge the Tower of Reincarnation, one must be prepared to die!
For most, challenging the Tower of Reincarnation is almost certain death!!
But for Chen Ye, it was different.
Because…
He knew the storyline!!
This was Chen Ye’s greatest advantage.
…
When the class ended, Chen Ye declined Jiang Tao’s invitation to the internet cafe and went straight home.
His father was working the night shift again, so the house was empty.
Chen Ye made himself something to eat, then went to his room, turned on the computer, and logged into the Reincarnation Forum.
Even now, legends about “Asura” were still circulating on the Reincarnation Forum.
People wanting to buy the “Infernal Affairs” dungeon guide had driven the price up to 40 million…
Seeing such a price, Chen Ye was unfazed.
It’s best to know when to stop.
Chen Ye then focused on researching information about the Tower of Reincarnation.
As the largest Reincarnation Space forum in the country, the Reincarnation Forum naturally had plenty of information about the Tower of Reincarnation.
Even the official channel had released an authoritative guide.
Out of curiosity, Chen Ye clicked on the official guide.
“Warning: The Tower of Reincarnation is extremely dangerous, and it’s easy to get killed!”
“The first dungeon in the Tower of Reincarnation is called ‘World War Z!’ In this world, all humans have turned into terrifying zombies. They move quickly, have immense strength, and are very dangerous. If they scratch you, you’ll get infected and might turn into one of them in just a few seconds. Whether you become a zombie or get bitten to death, you’ll remain in that world forever…”
“And the system’s task for us in this dangerous world is to kill at least 10 zombies and survive for 10 hours!!”
“Again, this task is extremely dangerous because those zombies are highly sensitive to sound. Killing one zombie might attract a whole horde!”
“Official recommendation: Anyone wanting to challenge the first floor of the Tower of Reincarnation should accumulate enough points in the safe zone to boost their agility to at least 25 points. Only then can you outrun the zombies.”
“When you enter the dungeon, the system gives you half an hour to prepare. It’s advised to find a high ground that’s easy to defend and hard to attack during this time.”
“If you can withstand the zombie siege for 10 hours and kill 10 zombies, congratulations, you’ve passed. The system will bring you back and reward you generously!”
“Friendly reminder: Don’t fear injury. Unlike dungeons in the safe zone, in the Tower of Reincarnation, as long as you survive the task, the system will heal all your injuries and negative statuses immediately, restoring you to perfect health!”
“Important tip: The more zombies you kill within 10 hours, the higher your evaluation will be at the end of the task. However, killing zombies is very dangerous, so proceed with caution!!!”
—————–
Chapter 17
After reading the official guide, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
It wasn’t that the guide was particularly good, but because it introduced the first dungeon world of the Tower of Reincarnation.
“World War Z”!!
Chen Ye was incredibly familiar with this world.
In his past life on Earth, this movie was one of his favorite apocalypse-themed films.
He remembered every plot detail clearly.
Moreover, the guide was spot on: the zombies in that world indeed seemed very formidable.
They moved swiftly, had immense strength, and were far superior to normal humans in every aspect.
But!!
These zombies actually had a fatal weakness.
Once you knew this weakness, you could survive even if surrounded by zombies.
You could even slaughter zombies with ease!
Apparently, no one else in the world knew this weakness.
Only Chen Ye knew!
“Since it’s the ‘World War Z’ world, I have an eighty percent chance of completing the task. With some luck, I might even get a super high rating!!”
Chen Ye murmured to himself, then his eyes became resolute.
Tonight, he was going to challenge the Tower of Reincarnation!!
Having made up his mind, Chen Ye turned off the computer, lay on his bed, and closed his eyes to rest.
“World War Z” was indeed full of dangers. Even though he knew the plot, he had to give it his all and face it in his best condition.
There was no need to look at other online guides.
It’s not that Chen Ye was arrogant.
But because no one in the world knew this dungeon better than he did!
…
At midnight.
When the alarm clock rang, Chen Ye’s eyes snapped open.
The crescent moon symbol on his arm began to glow red.
Chen Ye immediately pressed it firmly.
A few seconds later, he disappeared from his room…
Reincarnation Space.
Chen Ye, in his “Asura” form, appeared once again in Reincarnation Square.
Shortly after his arrival, he received a communication request from “Ake.”
“You have a new communication message. ‘Ake’ invites you to a video call. Please handle it promptly.”
“Connect!”
With that command, a holographic video chat window appeared in front of Chen Ye.
The masked girl “Ake” appeared on the screen.
“Good evening, Ake,” Chen Ye greeted with a smile.
Ake, however, wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries. She went straight to the point, “Asura, come to the trading center. I’m waiting for you there.”
“Alright!”
With Chen Ye’s reply, Ake immediately hung up the video call.
It seemed she didn’t want to say even one extra word to Chen Ye.
Seeing the video window go black, Chen Ye shook his head with a smile.
“System, take me to the trading center.”
With the command issued, in the next moment, Chen Ye disappeared and reappeared at the entrance of the trading center.
This was the teleportation function of the Reincarnation System!
Within the Reincarnation Space, you could teleport anywhere.
The trading center was far from the square, and walking there would take a lot of time. But with the system’s teleportation, you could arrive instantly, saving a lot of time.
Walking into the trading center hall, Chen Ye found it bustling with activity.
It seemed many people chose the Reincarnation Space as their trading channel.
“Asura!”
While Chen Ye was looking around, he heard a voice behind him.
Turning around, he saw the masked girl “Ake.”
“Come with me!”
Ake led Chen Ye to a nearby room.
There were many similar rooms in the trading center.
After closing the door, Ake got straight to the point:
“I’ve prepared the gold bars, including the fees. I have gold bars worth 23.5 million. Let’s start the transaction!”
“Wait a moment!” Chen Ye suddenly said.
Hearing this, Ake had a bad feeling.
“What is it?”
“Miss Ake, did you check the Reincarnation Forum today? Someone has already offered 40 million to buy the first-hand guide to ‘Infernal Affairs.'”
Ake couldn’t help but exclaim, “What do you mean? Are you going to raise the price again?”
“No, I’m still very honest…”
Ake sneered at Chen Ye’s words.
“Then why mention it?”
“I have a small request. If you agree, the transaction can proceed.”
Chen Ye smiled and said, “Look, I’m selling to you for only 20 million, which is half the price. It’s not unreasonable to have a small request, right?”

Chapter 18
“What do you want to ask?”
Ake looked at Chen Ye warily.
Chen Ye smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not an unreasonable request. I just want you to answer one question.”
“What question?”
“Listen carefully. You can only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’… Does your family know that you’re an idiot?”
Ake instinctively responded, “No!”
Then quickly corrected herself, “Wait… I’m not an idiot!!”
This girl was smart. As soon as she answered, she realized she’d been tricked.
“Hahaha…”
Chen Ye burst into laughter.
Ever since he found out that Ake, the girl he was trading with, was his school’s beauty queen Wen Xingyi, he’d been planning this prank.
Teasing this girl was partly for fun.
But the other half was to relax himself.
After the trade, Chen Ye was going to challenge the Tower of Reincarnation.
With its myriad dangers, the Tower of Reincarnation was a life-or-death gamble for Chen Ye, naturally making him anxious.
Remaining constantly anxious wasn’t good.
So, Chen Ye decided to tease Wen Xingyi a bit to ease his nerves…
Yes!
Finding joy in someone else’s discomfort felt quite satisfying!
“Is this amusing to you?”
Seeing Chen Ye laugh heartily, Ake snorted, “Asura, how can you be so childish?”
Chen Ye shrugged indifferently.
He didn’t care what Ake thought of him.
Having achieved his goal of relaxing, Chen Ye said, “Let’s start the transaction.”
Ake, with a cold expression, opened her personal storage and took out a box of gold bars.
“Here are the gold bars, with transaction fees already deducted by the Reincarnation System. Please count them.”
Looking at the gold bars shimmering before him, Chen Ye calmly smiled and said, “No need, I trust you.”
“Just a reminder, you can’t store real-world items in the Reincarnation Space. You must take these gold bars out within three hours, or they will be absorbed by the space,” Ake said.
Chen Ye wasn’t aware of this, so he nodded, “Thanks for the reminder.”
“You’ve taken the gold bars. Where’s the ‘Infernal Affairs’ dungeon guide?”
Ake reminded him again, “You better not give me a fake guide. I’ve enlisted the Reincarnation System to arbitrate. If your information is worthless, you’ll have to return all my gold bars and cover the 30% fee.”
Chen Ye smiled and nodded, “So should I tell you directly or write it down?”
“Just tell me directly.”
“Alright, listen carefully…”
Chen Ye cleared his throat and began, “The ‘Infernal Affairs’ dungeon world centers around the confrontation between the police and the drug cartel. Both sides have moles in the enemy camp. On the police side, Inspector Liu Jianming and Agent Lin Guoping are the moles. In the cartel, Chen Yongren is the undercover cop…”
He relayed all the information he knew in one breath.
Ake’s eyes sparkled with interest as she listened, staring at Chen Ye in amazement, “Asura, how did you know all this?”
Chen Ye had already prepared a lie, “I’ve been to the ‘Infernal Affairs’ dungeon seven times. I gathered this information through experience.”
Hearing this, Ake looked at Chen Ye with newfound respect.
To clear a dungeon world seven times, his perseverance was truly formidable!!
“I want to know, last time in the ‘Infernal Affairs’ dungeon, what did you say to Superintendent Huang that made him believe you and start suspecting Liu Jianming and Lin Guoping?”
“I told Superintendent Huang about the secret signal between Liu Jianming and Han Chen. Whenever Liu Jianming said, ‘Dad, I can’t come home for dinner tonight,’ he was alerting Han Chen. But the key was I also tipped Huang off about the location of a deal between Han Chen and the Thai gang: Longyu Beach!!”
“I pretended to tell Huang that I saw Liu Jianming and Han Chen meeting last night…”
After finishing, Chen Ye asked, “Any more questions?”
Ake’s eyes glinted as she asked, “So, if I follow your steps, I can get an ‘SSS’ perfect rating on the task?”
Chen Ye noncommittally replied, “That’s not guaranteed. It depends on your performance. If your acting isn’t convincing enough for Superintendent Huang, you might not succeed.”
Ake nodded and gave a final reminder:
“Asura, remember our agreement. You cannot disclose any information about the ‘Infernal Affairs’ dungeon to anyone else for the next month!”
“No problem!”
With that, their transaction was complete.

Chapter 19
After completing the trade with Ake, Chen Ye exited the trading hall.
“System, send me to the Tower of Reincarnation!”
With those words, Chen Ye was teleported to the entrance of the Tower of Reincarnation.
He looked up slightly and saw the towering giant structure: the Tower of Reincarnation!
The Tower of Reincarnation was vast, with each floor constructed like an ancient imperial palace, making the 99 floors seem to reach the sky.
Compared to the bustling dungeon hall, there were far fewer people at the entrance of the Tower of Reincarnation.
This was relative, of course.
In reality, many people came to challenge the Tower of Reincarnation.
After all, the true path to becoming stronger lay only within the Tower of Reincarnation.
Abilities like superpowers, devil fruits, and Saiyan bloodlines could only be obtained from the Tower of Reincarnation; the safe zone didn’t have such things.
Despite the immense dangers of the Tower of Reincarnation, many still sought to become stronger.
The pursuit of great power is a natural instinct for most humans!
At that moment.
Several voices at the entrance caught Chen Ye’s attention.
“Damn! Wild Wolf, Fox, look at the leaderboard. Adam’s overall strength rating has reached ‘S’ level, making him the world’s number one!”
“Hiss!! Truly ‘S’ level, the only one in the world. This guy is amazing!”
“There’s been news that Adam’s real identity is a colonel in the Western Sam Empire’s military. Is it true?”
“Most likely… Damn, with this dog becoming the world’s number one, our country will be overshadowed again. It’s really annoying!”
“Yeah, with an ‘A’ level rating, they’re already monsters capable of wiping out an entire regiment. ‘S’ level strength, he might as well be a walking nuclear weapon. If he decides to wreak havoc, no one can stop him.”
“Don’t think too much about it. If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up. Let’s just focus on clearing dungeons… Today, I must clear ‘Village of the Damned’ and defeat the female ghost ‘Chu Renmei’!”
“Brother, don’t be reckless. The ghost Chu Renmei is formed from resentment, she’s unkillable. It’s better to hide and survive the main task for three days.”
“I’m going to clear ‘Kung Fu Jungle’ today. Anyone have any tips?”
“‘Kung Fu Jungle’? I remember the main task is to challenge three masters, right? Here’s some advice: don’t challenge Xiahou Wu and Feng Yuxiu, or you’ll die miserably…”
Hearing these discussions, Chen Ye was quite surprised.
Someone’s overall strength had reached ‘S’ level?
It seems anyone can achieve greatness!
However, Chen Ye didn’t dwell on it.
His unique advantage was knowing the storylines, which he heavily relied on!
Chen Ye believed that one day, he would become the strongest reincarnator…
He even wanted to try clearing all 99 floors of the Tower of Reincarnation to see if the legend about becoming a god was true!
Then.
Chen Ye walked over to the group of chatting people and followed their gaze to see an electronic screen.
“Global Expert Leaderboard!!”
One by one, peculiar names filled the leaderboard.
Ranked first was “Adam,” just as they had mentioned!!
Adam.
In the Bible, he is the first human!
This person daring to take such a name shows he has grand ambitions.
Next to Adam’s name was a red “S,” indicating his current overall strength level.
Ranked second was someone named “Murong Chui Xue.”
Judging by the avatar, it seemed to be a woman.
The name had a distinctive Chinese style, so she was likely from China.
Her overall rating was “A”!
The third was “Sventovit.”
This name is the war god in “Slavic mythology”!
And Slavic mythology is unique to the region of the Northern Bear.
Thus, it could be inferred that the third person was from that region.
His overall rating was also “A”.
…
This leaderboard was naturally created by the Reincarnation System.
It listed a hundred people.
Except for “Adam” at the top, the rest had an overall rating of “A”!
This indicated that even among “A” level experts, there was significant disparity in strength.
After glancing at it, Chen Ye stopped paying attention and walked towards the Tower of Reincarnation.
At the entrance, he was about to step in but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Then, the system prompted:
“Hello, Reincarnator ‘Asura,’ you currently cannot enter the dungeon world. Please return in 29 days, 1 hour, and 22 minutes…”
Chen Ye slapped his forehead, almost forgetting about the dungeon cooldown time.
Then.
He took out the Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card from his personal storage.
“System, use the Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the card in his hand turned into starlight and disappeared.

Chapter 20
(PS: Just to let you know, the early dungeon worlds won’t be written in detail. Only major dungeon worlds like Marvel, One Piece, Super God Academy, Naruto, etc., will have longer narratives… Oh, and worlds with beautiful female leads might also be more detailed. Rest assured, dear readers, this is a feel-good novel! I know what everyone likes to read, so enjoy!!)
After using the Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card.
Chen Ye once again stepped into the Tower of Reincarnation without any hindrance.
He successfully arrived at the first floor of the Tower of Reincarnation.
It was a very spacious hall.
The interior design of the Tower of Reincarnation was very similar to ancient Chinese dynasties, almost the exact opposite of the modern style of the safe zone.
Chen Ye took a few glances around, and a small fairy flew up to him.
“Hello, Reincarnator ‘Asura.’ How may I assist you?”
Chen Ye took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I’m here for a dungeon task!”
“The current dungeon world is ‘World War Z.’ Do you confirm entry?”
The first dungeon world of the Tower of Reincarnation was ‘World War Z,’ with no other choices.
Chen Ye had already researched this online and was well aware of it.
“Confirm!!”
A flash of red light.
Chen Ye was teleported by the small fairy into a huge white room.
This white room was very similar to the ones in the safe zone, but each wall had a giant electronic clock, with time counting down, clearly indicating a countdown.
Currently, the countdown showed 17 minutes remaining.
If Chen Ye guessed correctly, the countdown marked the start of the dungeon world.
Aside from the countdown, the white room was also filled with people, at least over thirty.
And more people kept being teleported in.
It was clear that these were all the Reincarnators who would be tackling the ‘World War Z’ dungeon tonight.
The Tower of Reincarnation dungeons were different from those in the safe zone.
Safe zone dungeons were relatively safe, could be accessed at any time, and if you failed, you could try again the next month.
But the Tower of Reincarnation dungeons opened once every hour.
And if you failed, the result was death…
During this hour, all the Reincarnators participating in the dungeon were gathered together.
This explained why the white room was so crowded.
…
When the countdown reached the last 10 minutes, the system suddenly issued a prompt:
“Attention, Reincarnators. In 10 minutes, you will be teleported to the task world…”
With this prompt, the white room seemed to close its teleportation channels, and no more people were teleported in.
Chen Ye counted.
At this moment.
The room had gathered a total of 41 people.
These people were either chatting in small groups or resting alone.
Those grouped together obviously knew each other and formed teams to tackle the dungeon.
Lone individuals like Chen Ye were either highly cautious or very confident in themselves.
Suddenly.
A young man clapped his hands loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.
Chen Ye also looked at the young man.
The young man had a face resembling a manga protagonist and wore a very punk-style outfit, looking eccentric yet unique.
This was obviously a disguise!
However,
The long sword hanging at the young man’s waist instantly caught Chen Ye’s attention.
Real-world items couldn’t be brought into the Reincarnation Space, let alone appear in the task world.
It was certain that this sword belonged to the Reincarnation Space.
Moreover, Chen Ye found the sword familiar.
Suddenly, Chen Ye’s eyes flashed with insight.
He recognized the source of the sword…
From the ‘One Piece’ dungeon world, it was one of the 21 Great Grade Swords: Black Blade Shusui!!
In the ‘One Piece’ world, this sword was once the weapon of the samurai Ryuma from Wano Country, considered a national treasure of Wano. After Ryuma’s death, his corpse and Shusui were stolen by Moria and became part of his “Zombie Army.” Later, it was given to Zoro after a duel and recognition.
Recognizing this sword, Chen Ye was astonished.
This young man, like him, was apparently tackling the Tower of Reincarnation for the first time, yet he already possessed such a powerful weapon?
There was no way this thing could be found in the safe zone.
The only possibility was that a powerful Reincarnator had given it to this young man.
In other words, this young man had significant backing and was likely from a prominent family…
