GROIKTP Chapter 330

“Master, can I study this spear?” 

Skynet, in her loli form, curiously eyed the trident, her interest piqued. “A small trident with such immense power—this defies the law of conservation of energy. It’s truly unbelievable.”

Chen Ye: “…”

“This isn’t a spear; it’s called a trident. It’s the weapon of Poseidon, the Sea God!” Chen Ye corrected her.

“Poseidon, the Sea God?”

Skynet looked puzzled. “Isn’t he a mythical figure from human imagination? Does he really exist?”

“As I’ve said before, the world I live in is unscientific. Here, anything is possible!”

Skynet was silent for a moment, then became even more interested. “Master, can you take me to see Poseidon? I want to study the anatomy of a god!”

Chen Ye: “…”

“Maybe some other time!”

Chen Ye brushed her off casually, then warned, “Remember, without my permission, you’re not to mess with anything here. Got it?”

“Understood, Master. Rest assured, I cannot disobey your commands.”

By the end of her statement, Skynet’s voice sounded a bit pitiful, and she even put on a sad face, looking almost human!

Dealing with this peculiar being, Chen Ye felt a headache coming on.

Afterward, Chen Ye placed the trident back on the shelf.

He had already devised a preliminary plan in his mind: after acquiring the real Trident of Poseidon, he would use the Intelligent Furnace to turn it into a necklace pendant so that he wouldn’t have to hold it in his hand!

…

Leaving his personal warehouse, Chen Ye returned to the Reincarnation Plaza.

He hadn’t been there long before a system prompt came through:

“You have a new communication message. ‘Male God’ invites you to a video call. Please respond promptly.”

Hearing this notification, Chen Ye felt a twinge of annoyance…

The so-called “Male God” was naturally the nickname taken by the chubby Jiang Tao.

This guy not only made himself look like a pretty boy but also picked such a bizarre nickname…

Jiang Tao was added as his friend earlier.

Chen Ye accepted the video call.

A rather effeminate face appeared on the screen.

“Old Chen, you’re out? Impressive! Another Super God rating.”

Chen Ye smiled slightly and asked, “What about you? What rating did you get?”

Hearing this, Jiang Tao’s face lit up with pride. Despite his apparent delight, he still spoke modestly, “Just an A-rank rating, nothing compared to you!”

“Oh? Not bad!” Chen Ye said sincerely.

Surviving the *World War Z* instance and getting an A-rank rating was already quite an achievement.

“I got lucky. After entering the instance, the system assigned me the role of a cop. I took a bunch of silenced guns and went up to the police station rooftop. I barricaded the building and sniped zombies from there!” Jiang Tao couldn’t help but boast.

Chen Ye nodded in agreement.

Starting in the police station as a cop, Jiang Tao indeed had a stroke of good fortune.

“Too bad my marksmanship skill is only at ‘Proficient’ level; I missed a lot of shots. If my shooting were at the ‘Expert’ level, I might have gotten an S-rank rating!” Jiang Tao said, sounding somewhat regretful.

Chen Ye smiled slightly but didn’t say anything.

“By the way!” Jiang Tao suddenly exclaimed in amazement, “Old Chen, your overall ranking just jumped to the top ten… Old Chen, that’s incredible!”

Hearing this, Chen Ye was momentarily stunned.

He quickly realized it must have been when he picked up the trident, causing his ranking to soar due to its power boost.

“Top ten, huh?”

Even though he knew the trident’s enhancement was substantial, greater than that of Thor’s Hammer—or rather, Thor’s Ring—shooting straight into the top ten still surprised Chen Ye a bit.

“Yeah!” Jiang Tao was full of awe. “Old Chen, you’re too awesome! I heard the 14th-floor instance is the second stage of *One Piece*, guaranteeing a Devil Fruit… Many in the Reincarnation Space are speculating that if you obtain a Devil Fruit, your overall strength might jump straight to S-class!”

“Oh?”

Chen Ye was surprised. “The 14th-floor instance is the second stage of *One Piece*?”

“Yeah! Didn’t you know, Old Chen?”

“I go floor by floor… Fatty, can you tell me about the online strategies?” Chen Ye asked.

“Uh!” Jiang Tao was speechless. “I only skimmed through them briefly. I didn’t look at the details since it’s too far off for me…”

Chen Ye nodded, understanding Jiang Tao’s point.

While in the safe zone, he wouldn’t have paid much attention to the instance strategies for the Reincarnation Tower.

“And there’s one more thing! Old Chen, be wary of those classmates. Damn it, they’re all ingrates!”

Chen Ye asked with a smile, “What happened?”

Speaking of those classmates, Jiang Tao became furious. “They’re a bunch of selfish bastards! They actually wanted me to get strategies from you. When I refused, they started making snide remarks, saying you and I think too highly of ourselves and look down on old classmates. Damn it, they don’t even think about who saved them… Forget it, forget it, I’ve already left those ingrates.”

Chen Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he listened.

His mature mentality had long exposed him to the deceit and selfishness in society.

“Old Chen, when we get out, if those ingrates are in danger, don’t feel compelled to save them. Always prioritize your own safety!”

“Of course, as your good brother, you can’t leave me hanging! Haha…”

Chen Ye said helplessly, “Don’t worry! I won’t just watch you get killed by monsters.”

“Hehe! With that assurance, I’m relieved! With a top-ten-ranked super expert as my protector, my life is safe for sure!”

“Fatty, I’m planning to challenge the next instance soon, so I need to find someone to ask about the strategies.”

“Alright, you go ahead!”

…

Chen Ye didn’t have many friends.

Besides Jiang Tao, he only had three female friends: Murong Chuxue, Murong Yuling, and Ake.

Ideally, Murong Chuxue would have been the best person to ask for strategy advice.

However, her status was shown as offline, likely due to her handling some matters in the real world.

“Given the big events tonight, Murong Chuxue must be quite busy.”

Chen Ye then sent a video call request to Murong Yuling.

“Asura!”

Upon seeing Chen Ye, Murong Yuling smiled sweetly, “Congratulations! You’ve received another Super God rating, and your strength has increased significantly.”
