- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 41-50
(Responding to a reader’s question in the review section, public instances cannot bring people from that world out, and personal instances are still pending(?). Additionally, personal instances can only be cleared by the protagonist, so you get the idea… Attributes can only be exchanged for points; self-training would make things chaotic, making it hard for you to read and for me to write…)
(PS: Instances like “The Great Wall,” “Chinese Paladin,” “Fairy Tail,” and others will become the protagonist’s personal instances in the future!)
A flash of red light.
Chen Ye appeared in the Reincarnation Space square.
“System, take me to the Reincarnation Tower Mall!”
Following Chen Ye’s command, he found himself at the entrance of the Reincarnation Tower Mall.
The Reincarnation Tower Mall looked very different from the Safe Zone Mall. Not only was the appearance different, but the items sold were also unique.
The Safe Zone Mall offered small trinkets and disposable items that didn’t help much with strength. The Reincarnation Tower Mall, however, had various tools and basic skills for sale, such as language skills, shooting skills, basic boxing, and basic swordsmanship.
Other reincarnators could also sell their unused special items in the mall for points.
Only those who had officially become members of the Reincarnation Tower could access and trade in the mall. Safe Zone reincarnators couldn’t even view it!
Chen Ye came to the Reincarnation Tower Mall to see if there was anything he needed.
…
Upon entering the mall, numerous holographic screens appeared before him, displaying an array of items for sale.
Chen Ye found the basic skills section and spent 650 Reincarnation Points to buy Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery).
The Black Sword Autumn Water was a great weapon and would be very helpful for Chen Ye in the early stages. So, he bought the Basic Swordsmanship. It wasn’t expensive—only 650 points for mastery level.
“Congratulations! You have learned Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery).”
Then, Chen Ye checked out the items in the mall. There were many items, but most were recovery items, and they were pricey. For example, a stamina recovery potion cost 1500 points!
“That’s too expensive!” Chen Ye shook his head and didn’t buy it. Although stamina recovery potions could be very useful in certain situations, the price was too high for early-stage reincarnators. It was tough enough to earn points for attributes, so who would waste them on such items?
Moreover, early-stage reincarnators didn’t need stamina recovery potions!
After some thought, Chen Ye spent 1500 points on a wound recovery potion. He felt this potion could be quite useful; it could save his life in critical moments.
The potions in the mall could be used anytime and anywhere without any restrictions, which was why they were expensive.
After closing the system mall, Chen Ye opened the private consignment center. This place was where other reincarnators sold their unused special items.
When the private consignment center opened, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up. There were many items for sale, and quite a few were practical. He even saw a martial arts manual for “Dragon Subduing Palms” priced at 50,000 points.
Seeing the price, Chen Ye shook his head. Even if he had enough points, he wouldn’t buy it. He knew the plot and would easily get such manuals in future martial arts instances.
Chen Ye continued browsing, looking for what he needed.
…
“Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts,” from the “King of Fighters” instance world, priced at 12,000 points (negotiable).
“Dog-Dog Fruit, Wolf Form,” from the “One Piece” instance world, priced at 40,000 points (fixed price).
Special Skill “Sprint,” from the “King of Glory” instance world, priced at 12,000 points (fixed price).
“Shadow Clone Technique,” from the “Naruto” instance world, priced at 35,000 points (negotiable).
Special Item “Exorcism Talisman,” from the “Mr. Vampire” instance world, a one-time use item, priced at 2,000 points (negotiable).
Chen Ye’s eyes sparkled as he saw these items. He was familiar with them all. The Reincarnation Space was indeed amazing, turning fantasy works into real instance worlds. No wonder many said the Reincarnation Space was created by omnipotent gods. Chen Ye couldn’t imagine anyone else capable of creating such a space.
As he continued browsing, Chen Ye suddenly paused, his eyes narrowing. He had found what he was looking for!!
—————-
Chapter 42
“Special Item ‘Heart of the Brave,’ from the ‘Brave Tale’ instance world, priced at 80,000 points (fixed price).”
Seeing this item, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
This was exactly what he was looking for!
According to the system’s description, the Heart of the Brave makes the user courageous and fearless once used.
It might sound simple, but in reality, this effect is incredibly rare and valuable.
Fear has always been one of humanity’s greatest weaknesses. Many people, under the influence of fear, make irrational decisions.
For example, in a human vs. zombie scenario: if humans could overcome their fear of zombies, their chances of defeating the zombies would be significantly higher, because humans have intelligence and can use tools and the environment to their advantage. However, in reality, many people are so scared at the sight of zombies that their legs go weak. In extreme fear, people make numerous mistakes, even in running away, ultimately becoming zombie food.
Fear has a profound impact on people!
For reincarnators, fear is an even more deadly weakness. They often walk the edge of life and death, and if they lose the courage to fight due to fear, it’s easy for enemies to seize the opportunity to kill them.
Having a fearless heart is extremely important for reincarnators.
The Heart of the Brave can completely counter the female ghost Chu Renmei!
Chen Ye needed the Heart of the Brave not only to deal with Chu Renmei but also because it would be crucial for his future adventures in the Reincarnation Tower. Compared to that, dealing with Chu Renmei was just a bonus.
“But the price…”
A fixed price meant no negotiation!
Clearly, the reincarnator selling the Heart of the Brave knew its value.
With his current resources, Chen Ye couldn’t afford it.
However, Chen Ye believed someone else would pay for him!!
…
A moment later, Chen Ye left the mall and headed to the Entertainment Center.
The Entertainment Center is a massive leisure facility located in the eastern part of the Reincarnation Square. Each major district has one.
Reincarnators frequently face life-and-death tests and need proper outlets to relax and release their tension. This is the purpose behind the establishment of the Entertainment Center by the Reincarnation System!
In the Entertainment Center, as long as you are willing to spend Reincarnation Points, you can enjoy emperor-like treatment! Drinks, food, women, drugs… these are just the basic pleasures.
The real high-end service is the “Suite” service!
What is the Suite service?
You get a presidential suite, and you can customize it to have the woman of your dreams, fulfilling all your desires. As long as you can imagine it clearly, you can even conjure up a fairy.
Of course, the price of the Suite is very high.
It is said that spending two hours there can cost tens of thousands of points!
Hardly any reincarnator is willing to spend points this way…
Besides the Suite, there are even more twisted activities like murder games!
In essence, the Entertainment Center is a massive money pit. There’s nothing you can’t imagine, and nothing the Reincarnation System can’t do!
…
Chen Ye entered a bar.
The bar was bustling with people drinking, partying, and even openly using drugs! There were no police here, and no one to enforce the law.
Bars are the most popular relaxation spot for reincarnators because they are relatively affordable!
Chen Ye didn’t waste any time. He spent 100 Reincarnation Points to buy a chance to speak on stage. For 100 points, you get 5 minutes on stage.
During those 5 minutes, you can sing or give a speech—it’s entirely up to you. When your time is up, you must get off the stage!
The Entertainment Center is very practical; everything requires points.
At that moment, the stage was empty.
Chen Ye walked up boldly. His move didn’t attract much attention as everyone was immersed in their fun.
Chen Ye cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone:
“Hello, everyone, I’m Shura!!!”
His voice echoed throughout the bar via the microphone.
Immediately, the bar fell silent!
All the reincarnators enjoying themselves paused and looked up at the stage in surprise.
Recently, the name “Shura” had become incredibly well-known.
Shura’s legendary feats had already spread throughout the entire Reincarnation Space.
—————–
Chapter 43
After about 30 seconds, the bar slowly filled with murmurs:
“Holy crap, is he really Shura? Could it be a fake?”
“Are you stupid? In the Reincarnation Space, impersonating someone else is forbidden…”
“We finally get to see Shura’s true face!”
“If Shura is showing up now, he must have a purpose, right?”
“Is Shura going to publicly share a strategy guide for free?”
“Free SSS-level strategy guide? You wish! If it were you, would you share it for free?”
“Many people have been looking for Shura lately. Things are about to get lively here!”
“Exactly, I just heard that ‘One Leaf Knows Autumn,’ ranked 97th in the Top 100 Experts, has been searching for Shura.”
“Let’s sit back and watch the show…”
The audience buzzed with speculation about Chen Ye’s purpose for appearing.
Then, Chen Ye spoke again from the stage:
“I’ve heard that many people are looking for me recently. I know you’re all interested in the strategy guide for the ‘World War Z’ instance. I’m here today to find a suitable buyer. I promise to sell it to only one person and not to multiple buyers. For fairness, we can have the transaction overseen by the Reincarnation Space… Later, I’ll open a private room where only those with C-level strength or above can enter. Those interested are welcome to discuss the details. Don’t miss this chance; the highest bidder wins!!”
After speaking, Chen Ye prepared to leave.
He had come to the bar specifically to sell the strategy guide for “World War Z.” Keeping it was useless for him since he couldn’t run the instance again. So why not make the most out of it and maximize his benefits?
At this moment, a reincarnator suddenly stood up and shouted, “Shura, you should share the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide for free to benefit humanity and make everyone stronger!”
As soon as he said this, many people looked at him as if he were an idiot. Most people, however, were curious about how Chen Ye would respond.
Chen Ye didn’t make them wait long before he spoke again.
“Are you trying to morally blackmail me?”
“N-no, I wasn’t…” the reincarnator stammered.
Ignoring him, Chen Ye looked at the crowd and smiled. “I’m not publicly sharing the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide because I believe it’s better for society if it’s not shared!”
“Since the emergence of the Reincarnation Space, many young people have gained tremendous power. Unfortunately, many of them use their power irresponsibly, leading to a significant rise in crime rates everywhere! Remember the 11/6 incident!!”
The 11/6 incident happened on November 6, 2009. On that day, many young people with great power forcibly occupied a coastal city and declared independence! The military had to deploy a large force, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and eventually using intercontinental missiles to quell the uprising.
The “11/6 incident” had far-reaching effects, causing ordinary people to resent and reject psychics, leading to protests demanding the elimination of all psychics nationwide. If the root of psychics wasn’t the Reincarnation Space, which couldn’t be eradicated, psychics might not exist today.
Even after all these years, many ordinary people still have a bad impression of psychics.
Mentioning the “11/6 incident” caused many to shudder.
“I don’t know what those idiots who want me to share the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide for free are thinking!”
Chen Ye continued, his tone unkind: “In my opinion, not sharing the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide is beneficial for society! It can prevent selfish people from gaining too much power and causing chaos!”
He then fixed his gaze on the reincarnator who had tried to morally blackmail him and said lightly, “Don’t look away; I’m talking about people like you!”
“Hahaha…”
The bar erupted in laughter.
Many admired Chen Ye’s response. It wasn’t eloquent, but it was a strong rebuke to those trying to morally blackmail him.
Chen Ye’s brilliance lay in framing his argument as a matter of societal harmony and stability, using the moral high ground to counter moral blackmail.
Future selfish individuals wouldn’t be able to attack Chen Ye on this point because the “11/6 incident” was a precedent.
Who could guarantee that mass empowerment wouldn’t lead to another catastrophic event?
Clap! Clap!
Applause broke out in the bar.
Chen Ye’s public rebuke earned him admiration from many, who saw him as genuine and bold.
In this world, most people still held proper values.
…
The reincarnator who had been scolded wished he could disappear. Even his friends subtly distanced themselves from him.
He glared venomously at Chen Ye before leaving the bar in shame.
As Chen Ye stepped off the stage, he saw the look of hatred in the man’s eyes but paid it no mind. To him, the man was just trash.
If he dared to appear in an instance world, Chen Ye wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
Chen Ye then prepared to book a private room to negotiate the price for the “World War Z” strategy guide.
Before he could leave, a cold voice suddenly spoke:
“Are you Shura?”
——————–
Chapter 44
“You are Shura?”
A middle-aged man blocked Chen Ye’s path.
The man was dressed in ancient clothing, with long hair and a sword at his waist, looking like an ancient swordsman. Of course, this was a disguise within the Reincarnation Space. In the Reincarnation Space, no one was foolish enough to show their true face.
Seeing this man, the bar erupted in exclamations.
“Holy crap, it’s ‘One Leaf Knows Autumn’!”
“It’s really One Leaf Knows Autumn, ranked 97th in the Global Top 100 Experts!”
“I just heard that One Leaf Knows Autumn was looking for Shura everywhere. I didn’t think it was true!”
“Is One Leaf Knows Autumn looking for Shura to buy the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide? He doesn’t need it, does he?”
“Idiot, even if he doesn’t need it, can’t he get it for someone else?”
…
Hearing the chatter around him, Chen Ye understood who the man was and why he had come.
One Leaf Knows Autumn!
The uncle of Ye Gucheng!
Even knowing his identity, Chen Ye wasn’t afraid. In the Reincarnation Space, outside of instance worlds, violence was strictly prohibited. Anyone who tried would be instantly killed!
“That’s me!”
One Leaf Knows Autumn was direct, immediately questioning, “Did you kill my nephew, Ye Gucheng?”
Hearing this, the entire bar filled with the sound of people gasping.
Many stared wide-eyed, looking surprised and excited.
It turned out One Leaf Knows Autumn was here to cause trouble.
Everyone held their breath, ready to watch the drama unfold.
“It was me!”
Chen Ye admitted openly.
He didn’t even bother to defend himself!
He directly showed a confrontational attitude.
It wasn’t arrogance. Chen Ye knew that defending himself was pointless. Many reincarnators had probably seen him take Ye Gucheng’s Black Sword Autumn Water. Although Ye Gucheng was killed by zombies, it could still be blamed on Chen Ye. Without his shot, Ye Gucheng might have escaped.
Besides, Chen Ye had nothing to fear!
One Leaf Knows Autumn wasn’t on his level, so they couldn’t be in the same instance world. And with violence prohibited in the Reincarnation Space, One Leaf Knows Autumn couldn’t personally trouble him!
At most, he could hire someone.
But at the same level, Chen Ye feared no one.
Hearing Chen Ye’s straightforward admission, One Leaf Knows Autumn’s face darkened.
“Good! Very bold!” One Leaf Knows Autumn said coldly, “Why did you kill him?”
“You know what kind of person your nephew was, don’t you?”
Chen Ye said calmly, “He tried to trick me and steal my progress. So, I killed him. What’s the problem?”
The people around them suddenly understood.
This sort of thing happened often in the Reincarnation Space!
Once inside an instance world, the rules became survival of the fittest, unavoidable.
Many looked at Shura with admiration for his guts but also felt sympathy for him.
Fighting in instance worlds was common among reincarnators, but crossing someone with a powerful backer was unlucky.
Shura would have trouble ahead…
No one underestimated One Leaf Knows Autumn.
Ranked 97th on the Global Top 100 Experts list might not sound high, but it was among billions of reincarnators worldwide!
Being in the top 100 meant he was a top-tier expert.
“Kneel and apologize!” One Leaf Knows Autumn demanded coldly. “Hand over the ‘World War Z’ strategy guide and break your own hand. Then this will be over!”
The Reincarnation Space forbids violence, but self-harm doesn’t count…
Hearing this, Chen Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, he mocked, “I thought someone ranked in the top 100 would be smart, but you’re just an idiot… Have you read too many novels?”
Everyone: “…”
The whole bar was stunned. No one expected Shura to have the guts to insult One Leaf Knows Autumn to his face.
Holy crap!
Shura is fierce!!!
“Good! Very good!”
One Leaf Knows Autumn’s face turned ashen. He glared coldly at Chen Ye, “No one has spoken to me like this in a long time. You’re good.”
Then, One Leaf Knows Autumn took out a Devil Fruit from his personal storage and held it up high, announcing loudly:
“This is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit! I, One Leaf Knows Autumn, hereby issue a bounty. Anyone who can kill Shura in an instance world will receive this Devil Fruit from me!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bar fell silent.
Everyone stared at the Devil Fruit, breathing heavily…
The value of Devil Fruits was well-known. Eating one could grant superpowers, making one a powerful psychic overnight!
After issuing the bounty, One Leaf Knows Autumn put the Devil Fruit away.
Originally, he had planned to give it to Ye Jin (Ye Gucheng) for his nineteenth birthday.
But now…
“Shura, some say you are the most talented genius in the history of the Reincarnation Space?”
One Leaf Knows Autumn said, “I hope you don’t die too soon. I’ll be waiting for you on the 26th floor of the Reincarnation Tower!!”
“Fine!” Chen Ye replied calmly, “You better not die early either. I’ll come for your head!”
Hearing this, One Leaf Knows Autumn just sneered coldly and left the bar.
————————-
Chapter 45
Watching One Leaf Knows Autumn leave, Chen Ye remained calm.
Instead of being worried about the bounty, Chen Ye was actually a bit excited!!
He had just passed the first level of the Reincarnation Tower and was about to tackle the second.
At this level, there were hardly any opponents stronger than him!
Moreover, Chen Ye had an incredible advantage: he knew the plot!
With such an advantage, how could he fear being hunted in an instance?
Last time, he killed Ye Gucheng and obtained the Black Sword Shisui!
Who knows what the next person seeking death would bring him?
Chen Ye then used 300 points to book a private room.
…
As Shura’s figure disappeared into the private room, the bar erupted into discussions.
“Holy crap, Shura and One Leaf Knows Autumn are at odds!”
“Wow! Shura is so tough. If he had softened up a bit, he wouldn’t be in this situation!”
“Haha, are you drunk? One Leaf Knows Autumn came prepared. Even if Shura softened up, he wouldn’t let him off easily.”
“I don’t care about anything else. I just want to know if anyone is going after that Devil Fruit?”
“Of course, there will be. Not many can resist the temptation of a Devil Fruit. But I think Shura isn’t simple either. Someone who can get two SSS-level evaluations isn’t ordinary.”
“Shura is going to have trouble in the future…”
“Yeah! It’s a pity. With Shura’s talent, as long as he doesn’t fall midway, he will surpass One Leaf Knows Autumn and might even challenge Adam, the number one. What a shame.”
“Hey, look, someone’s going in to see Shura.”
“That’s… Normanov, an A-level powerhouse from the Sam Empire!”
“Normanov might not be in the top 100, but he’s a significant figure. If he’s here for Shura, it must be on behalf of the Sam Empire government.”
“Shura, don’t sell to the Sam Empire!”
…
While the outside was buzzing with discussions, the private room was very quiet.
“Hello, Mr. Shura. I’m Normanov. I’m very interested in the strategy guide you have. What price are you asking?”
Hearing the fluent English, Chen Ye immediately decided internally not to sell to him.
Though Chen Ye was selfish, he had his limits. Selling the “World War Z” strategy guide to foreigners would be aiding the enemy!
Of course, he still needed to make it look convincing to create a sense of urgency among domestic powers…
Chen Ye said, “Mr. Normanov, please state your offer first so I can see your sincerity.”
Normanov thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Shura, I’m representing the Sam government. If you sell us the ‘World War Z’ guide, you can immigrate to the Sam Empire at any time. We are the most powerful country in the world. Additionally, you will gain the friendship of me and Adam… Yes, the S-level powerhouse Adam!”
“The trouble you faced earlier, Adam can easily resolve for you!”
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s attitude instantly cooled.
“Normanov, if this is your sincerity, then you can leave.”
Normanov’s face darkened. As a newcomer, Chen Ye not using honorifics irritated him. If not for this mission, he would have lost his temper.
“Mr. Shura, please reconsider. The friendship of the Sam Empire is not something anyone can get!”
Seeing Chen Ye silently staring at him coldly, Normanov gritted his teeth and added, “I’ll throw in a special item. Is that enough?”
Chen Ye found this arrogant man amusing and said calmly, “Please leave, Normanov.”
Standing up, Normanov glared at Chen Ye, “Mr. Shura, you will regret your decision today!”
…
As Normanov stormed out of the private room, most people in the bar sighed in relief.
This was the Huaxia district, and everyone present was Huaxia. Naturally, they didn’t want to see Shura sell the “World War Z” guide to a foreigner.
“Holy crap! Look, a real big shot is here!”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look at the bar entrance.
A woman walked in, wearing fitted armor, with her hair in a simple ponytail, looking clean and sharp like a female general from the battlefield.
Her delicate features, sword-like brows, and bright eyes exuded an air of heroism!
Most importantly, her presence was captivating.
As soon as she appeared, all eyes were drawn to her!
———————–
Chapter 46
After the woman entered the room, she glanced around and then asked, “Where is Asura?”
Someone immediately replied, “In Box 7.”
“Thank you!” the woman said, and headed towards Box 7.
Once she disappeared from sight, the people in the bar finally dared to talk.
“Whoa, whoa, that was Murong Chuxue! It was really her!”
“The second strongest in the world, the mightiest A-level Reincarnator, Murong Chuxue!!”
“Her presence is overwhelming. Just her glance made it hard for me to breathe!”
“Yeah, compared to her, Yi Ye Zhiqiu is nothing.”
“Of course! Murong Chuxue is our Chinese War God.”
“I heard she’s the granddaughter of Old Tang. Is that true?”
“It is. At the last Global Superpower Exchange Conference, she represented our country and won the championship!”
“Wow! Such an achiever!”
“She’s now a Major General, all earned by herself without relying on her family. And I’ve heard her real appearance is about 70% similar to her Reincarnation Space avatar!”
“Whoa! A real beauty!”
“But would you dare to pursue her?”
“No way, she’s too intimidating…”
Inside the box.
Chen Ye was slightly stunned when he saw the woman walk in.
Honestly, he had never seen a woman with such a powerful presence; it was as if a true dragon had arrived!
“Hello, you must be Asura. I’m Murong Chuxue,” the woman introduced herself.
Hearing her name, Chen Ye’s pupils shrank instantly as he looked at her in surprise.
Murong Chuxue!
Second on the global top 100 list!
Just below the top S-level masters!
“I didn’t expect to attract someone like you… Please, have a seat,” Chen Ye said.
Murong Chuxue seemed to be a straightforward person. After sitting down, she got straight to the point:
“Asura, since you know who I am, you should also know what I represent… I’m here to buy the strategy guide for ‘World War Z’ from you. What would it take for you to part with it?”
Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.
He didn’t expect to get to the point so quickly.
He thought she might first try to persuade him with some grand arguments to get him to give it for free…
This was better, more in line with what Chen Ye had in mind.
“Miss Murong, before you came, someone from the Sam Empire already approached me, but I didn’t sell! My first choice for a deal is still our compatriots; after all, it’s better to keep resources within our own country!”
Murong Chuxue nodded and said, “I know. Thank you for your choice. I will report this truthfully.”
“…I haven’t decided on a specific price. What price are you willing to offer?” Chen Ye naturally wouldn’t name a price first, to avoid revealing his hand.
Murong Chuxue thought for a moment, then suddenly took out two items from her personal storage and placed them in front of Chen Ye.
One was a scroll, and the other was a test tube containing a blue liquid.
Murong Chuxue explained, “This is Super Soldier Serum from the ‘Marvel’ copy world. After use, it can increase all four basic attributes by 20 to 30 points, depending on personal physique.”
“This scroll is a beginner-level Armament Haki from the ‘One Piece’ world. Using it will greatly increase your attack power! If you have enough points to raise its proficiency to a high level, not only will your attacks be extremely powerful, but your defense will also be incredible, making you invulnerable to weapons.”
Hearing her introduction, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
Both the Super Soldier Serum and Armament Haki were excellent items!
He knew their value very well.
“Are these two special items enough to show my sincerity?” Murong Chuxue asked.
Chen Ye shook his head and said, “These items are great, but their value is still far below the strategy guide for ‘World War Z’.”
Murong Chuxue frowned slightly and said, “Asura, we are compatriots. Let’s be straightforward. Just tell me what you want, and if it’s within my power, I won’t haggle.”
Chen Ye smiled and pointed at the two items on the table, saying, “My asking price is these two items, plus one more item from the Private Sale Center.”
Hearing about the Private Sale Center, Murong Chuxue’s face fell.
The items there were so valuable that even she couldn’t afford to buy them lightly.
Still, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Which item do you want from the Private Sale Center?”
“The Heart of the Brave!” Chen Ye said with a smile.
——————–
Chapter 47
When Murong Chuxue heard Chen Ye’s request, her strikingly beautiful face showed a look of surprise.
Because the “Heart of the Brave” he mentioned was something she had put up for sale!
“Asura, you have a keen eye!” Murong Chuxue remarked.
She had taken a “Heart of the Brave” before, and it had helped her immensely. Reaching her current level was largely due to its effects. Fear can significantly reduce a person’s abilities, but the “Heart of the Brave” allowed her to face any enemy or danger with calmness and composure.
“Alright! I accept your terms!” she declared.
Chen Ye was slightly taken aback. Murong Chuxue’s straightforwardness and decisiveness were impressive, even surpassing many men.
Murong Chuxue smiled and said, “If you had asked for anything else, I might not have been able to afford it since reincarnation points are always in short supply… but the ‘Heart of the Brave’ is different because I’m the one selling it!”
“Asura, I have to admire your insight. I’ve used a ‘Heart of the Brave’ myself and know how valuable it is. While it doesn’t directly increase your strength, it enables you to face all dangers fearlessly.”
“Asura, with your talent, you will surely secure a spot on the future top 100 leaderboard in the Reincarnation Space!”
She then winked and added, “Some say you are the most talented genius in the Reincarnation Tower. I’m currently stuck on the 28th floor and can’t proceed. If you can catch up quickly, would you help me pass the levels?”
Chen Ye was taken aback. He never expected someone as powerful as Murong Chuxue to say something like “please help.”
Such a strong person shouldn’t be so modest, right?
“Sure!” Chen Ye agreed readily. He thought Murong Chuxue was probably in a good mood after the deal and was joking with him.
“Let’s start the transaction then. You go to the transaction center and wait for me. I’ll retrieve the ‘Heart of the Brave’ from the private sale center.”
“No problem!”
They both quickly agreed on the transaction and left the bar together.
“Did Asura and Murong Chuxue just strike a deal?”
“Definitely, they did!”
“That was fast. Murong Chuxue’s influence is huge!”
“Are they possibly interested in each other?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Although Asura is talented, there’s still a big gap between him and Murong Chuxue. No way she’d be interested in him.”
“Exactly, Murong Chuxue is my goddess. She doesn’t need any man!!”
“Not even you!”
“Anyway, the important thing is that the strategy guide stays within our country. We’ll definitely see a rise in strong warriors domestically.”
“Yeah, the government will probably train some elite soldiers to climb the Reincarnation Tower.”
“I look forward to our country’s warriors dominating the Sam Empire!”
Outside the bar, Chen Ye watched Murong Chuxue’s figure disappear as she teleported away, still feeling dazed.
Was the transaction really this quick?
Chen Ye had expected to negotiate with several people, engaging in lengthy debates for hours before reaching a deal.
Unexpectedly, it was settled so fast, mainly due to Murong Chuxue’s decisiveness and generosity.
Both the Super Soldier Serum and Armament Haki were rare treasures. The government had previously bought a Super Soldier Serum for 10 billion yuan, and the seller had even gained a high-ranking position.
The value of the Super Soldier Serum was clear.
For Chen Ye, the Armament Haki was even more valuable!
Adding the “Heart of the Brave” on top of that…
This deal was immensely profitable for Chen Ye. He couldn’t be more satisfied.
With a smile, Chen Ye instructed the system to teleport him to the transaction center.
In the Reincarnation Space, private special items can’t be directly given to others. Forcibly taking them was even more impossible. Transactions had to go through the sale center or the transaction center for fairness.
This rule was likely to protect weaker participants in the Reincarnation Space.
Chen Ye didn’t wait long before seeing Murong Chuxue.
Her presence in the transaction center caused a stir among the other Reincarnators.
After all, she was the second strongest globally, a true powerhouse. Seeing her was a surprise for everyone.
They went to a private room and completed the transaction under the Reincarnation System’s supervision.
“Actually, the zombies in ‘World War Z’ are fierce, but they have a fatal flaw: they don’t attack people infected with deadly viruses!”
“As long as you’re carrying a deadly virus, you can walk openly on the streets without a single zombie daring to attack you.”
“Oh, and for safety, I recommend using viruses that spread quickly and show symptoms rapidly.”
“Once infected, you can head to the police station, get weapons, and start killing zombies…”
Murong Chuxue’s eyes sparkled as she listened to Chen Ye. She asked in surprise, “Asura, how did you discover this loophole?”
Chen Ye smiled, having prepared an explanation: “When I entered the copy world, I happened to be in a hospital. After the virus outbreak, I saw zombies attacking healthy humans but ignoring critically ill patients. That gave me the idea… To test it, I injected myself with the virus and found it worked! No zombies dared to approach me!”
Murong Chuxue looked at Chen Ye in amazement.
She didn’t doubt his words. This explanation made the most sense.
She admired Chen Ye’s decisiveness and courage.
Even if she went into the ‘World War Z’ copy world, she might not have done better than Chen Ye.
“Asura, no wonder people say you’re the most talented genius in the Reincarnation Space!” Murong Chuxue exclaimed, then suddenly became very serious as she looked at Chen Ye.
“Asura, you need to grow quickly.”
Chen Ye was puzzled: “Why?”
“There’s a hidden rule in the Reincarnation Space… The first Reincarnator to pass the 33rd floor of the Reincarnation Tower will gain partial control of the Reincarnation Space!!”
“That Adam guy is also incredibly talented. He’s already passed the 29th floor and is currently stuck on the 30th. You need to surpass him and clear the 33rd floor first to get that control!”
“If Adam gets it before us, given the tension between our countries, it will be a disaster for us!!”
——————-
CHapter 48
Chen Ye was stunned by Murong Chuxue’s revelation.
It was the first time he had heard that the Reincarnation Tower had such a rule.
The first to pass the 33rd floor would gain partial control of the Reincarnation Space?
“Can I ask what specific privileges come with passing the 33rd floor?” Chen Ye inquired.
Murong Chuxue shook her head. “I don’t know the exact details because no one has reached that point yet. But according to the top strategists, one of the likely privileges is the ability to discover other people’s real identities!”
“Asura, even without considering other privileges, this one alone is critical.”
“If Adam gains this privilege, he wouldn’t need to do much. Just revealing the real identities of Chinese Reincarnators would cause chaos in our country…”
Chen Ye nodded in agreement, his expression growing serious.
In the Reincarnation Space, all Reincarnators were in competition with each other, especially those climbing the Reincarnation Tower, where conflicts and enmities were common. If their real identities were exposed, they would certainly face retaliation.
Unless someone was as powerful as Murong Chuxue, whose identity being exposed would not invite retaliation, they had much to fear.
Take Chen Ye himself, for instance. If his real identity were exposed, it would be disastrous. With the various strategies he possessed, many would seek him out.
Moreover, Yi Ye Zhiqiu would be the first to come after him!
Chen Ye wasn’t afraid, but his current strength was not yet sufficient.
In reality, he was still a newcomer, far from matching those who had been battling in the Reincarnation Tower for years.
He just needed more time.
Murong Chuxue’s words had given Chen Ye a sense of urgency.
Chen Ye humbly said, “I am still far behind you all. To catch up to and surpass Adam, I will need help from strong individuals like you.”
Murong Chuxue shook her head. “I’m realistic. I’ve met Adam a few times and I’m not as strong as he is. Other Chinese on the leaderboard are also far behind him…”
She knew it was a tall order to ask Chen Ye to surpass Adam, considering he was just starting his journey in the Reincarnation Tower, whereas Adam had been struggling and surviving there for years.
With a sigh, Murong Chuxue said, “In any case, Asura, this is a significant matter. All Chinese Reincarnators need to work together!”
Chen Ye nodded, feeling the urgency to accelerate his progress. He had to grow stronger before Adam reached the 33rd floor.
“Oh, by the way,” Murong Chuxue suddenly asked, “I heard you had a conflict with Yi Ye Zhiqiu before I came. He put a bounty on you, right? Do you need me to step in?”
Chen Ye shook his head. “No need, I’ll handle it myself.”
Their transaction was complete, and Chen Ye didn’t want to owe any favors, which are hard to repay.
Murong Chuxue nodded, not pressing further. “Let’s add each other as friends. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask for my help.”
She actually had a mission to recruit Chen Ye into the government’s fold. But from their interaction, she realized Asura wasn’t someone who liked to be constrained, so she didn’t bring it up.
Chen Ye agreed to add her as a friend.
The friend function in the Reincarnation Space’s communication system allowed them to see each other’s online status and directly contact each other.
Currently, Chen Ye had only two friends.
One was Ake.
The other was now Murong Chuxue.
Both were women.
A moment later, Murong Chuxue logged off, likely returning to the real world to report back.
Chen Ye went to his personal storage to examine his gains.
The transaction was very rewarding, comparable to receiving an SSS-level super-god rating reward.
Super Soldier Serum, Armament Haki, and the Heart of the Brave!
All were excellent items!
“System, I want to use the Super Soldier Serum!”
An injector appeared out of thin air. Chen Ye attached the serum and injected it into his body.
Immediately, he felt a tearing pain throughout his body. Chen Ye gritted his teeth, enduring the agony.
After a few moments, he was drenched in sweat.
The pain lasted for at least ten minutes before gradually subsiding.
When it finally ended, Chen Ye felt different.
Not only had his strength increased significantly, but his overall coordination had also improved.
Most notably, his appearance had changed.
Previously under six feet tall, he suddenly grew a few centimeters, now standing over six feet.
His physique also became more balanced, with well-defined abs and waist muscles.
A model-like body!
In the Reincarnation Space, one’s appearance couldn’t be changed once set.
But changes resulting from using special items were exceptions…
Now, except for his masked face, Chen Ye had a physique that could be described as god-like.

This was Chen Ye’s current status.
After injecting the Super Soldier Serum, each of his attributes increased by an average of 25 points. Strength saw the most significant improvement, jumping from 45 to 72, a total increase of 27 points.
Chen Ye was very satisfied with the effects of the Super Soldier Serum!!
Next, he picked up the scroll containing the “Armament Haki.”
According to the system, the usage was straightforward: just tear open the scroll.
Without hesitation, Chen Ye tore it open.
Immediately, the scroll transformed into sparkling lights and merged into his hands.
Chen Ye felt a change. It seemed like an indescribable power was flowing through him, and a new memory appeared in his mind.
It was the memory of how to use “Armament Haki!”
“The Reincarnation System is truly… amazing!” Chen Ye marveled.
Then he raised his right hand and clenched his fist tightly.
“Buzz!”
His fist visibly turned dark and hardened like steel!
Looking at his iron fist, Chen Ye murmured, “So this is… Armament Haki?”
Indeed, Armament Haki was magical! With his current fist, he could punch through an iron plate, and his fist wouldn’t get injured because it had hardened and become very sturdy.
“It’s a pity that it’s just beginner-level Armament Haki… Let’s try upgrading it!”
Reincarnation Points could also be used to upgrade skill proficiency.
Chen Ye spent 1500 points to upgrade Armament Haki to “Proficient.”
However, he was surprised to find that upgrading Armament Haki to “Advanced” required 8000 points!
The cost had multiplied many times!
If he wanted to continue upgrading, it would certainly require even more points.
No wonder even Murong Chuxue said that Reincarnation Points were never enough…
With the upgraded Armament Haki, the hardening could now extend to Chen Ye’s arms.
In other words, his hands and arms could turn into “steel” at any time.
It was well known that Armament Haki not only increased attack and defense but was also the nemesis of Devil Fruit users!
For example, those with elemental Devil Fruit powers couldn’t be harmed by ordinary attacks. Only Armament Haki could strike their real bodies.
Chen Ye was extremely pleased with Armament Haki!
Finally, he had the “Heart of the Brave” left to deal with.
The “Heart of the Brave” was a fist-sized item that looked like a heart.
Using it was simple: just eat it!
Chen Ye quickly consumed it in a few bites.
After swallowing it, Chen Ye didn’t appear different on the outside.
However, only Chen Ye knew he had changed significantly.
He became fearless!
This didn’t mean he lost the emotion of fear but that his mind became so strong that no danger or terror could disturb his rationality.
—
Exiting his personal storage, Chen Ye checked the time.
Two and a half hours had passed since he entered the Reincarnation Space.
There were still two and a half hours before the space would close.
After a moment of thought, Chen Ye took out his “Personal Copy Card” and decided to activate his personal copy world.
Regardless of how long one stayed in a copy world, only an hour would pass in the real world.
He had plenty of time.
“System, I want to use the Personal Copy Card to activate a personal copy!”
The system quickly responded:
“Personal copy activated…”
“Starting teleportation countdown, 10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1!”
As the countdown ended, Chen Ye vanished from the Reincarnation Square.
There was no white room, no preparation time.
He was directly teleported into the copy world…
—
When Chen Ye regained his vision, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.
Looking up, the sky was light blue with patches of white clouds.
Amber sunlight bathed Chen Ye warmly.
In the distance, rolling mountains stretched as far as the eye could see.
The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.
But…
“Where the heck am I?” Chen Ye was bewildered.
The system had transported him to a desolate place.
What surprised Chen Ye even more was that this time he had crossed over in his real body, not his Asura avatar. The system hadn’t changed his appearance at all.
He was even wearing his school uniform.
It must be because this was a personal copy with no other Reincarnators involved, so the system had removed his disguise to let him experience the world firsthand.
Now, the school uniform, which had been a bit loose, felt tight on Chen Ye’s more robust frame after using the Super Soldier Serum.
But Chen Ye didn’t mind this.
He just wanted to find a populated area quickly.
Then, he ran towards a hill and climbed to the highest point.
Finally, he saw people.
———————————–
CHapter 50
To be precise, what Chen Ye saw was a “wall” stretching for thousands of miles.
As a Chinese, Chen Ye immediately recognized it as the Great Wall of China!
Since he had seen the Great Wall, heading towards it was certainly better than staying in a deserted area.
Chen Ye immediately set off towards the Great Wall.
There’s a saying, “Looking at a mountain won’t tire a horse!” When Chen Ye first saw the Great Wall from the hillside, it didn’t seem far. But the actual distance was tens of miles!
Fortunately, Chen Ye’s current physical attributes were extraordinarily high, with incredible stamina and speed. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t reach the Great Wall by nightfall.
Finally, just before the sun set, Chen Ye saw the wall up close.
His eyesight was excellent, and from a distance, he saw many people on the Great Wall!
These people seemed to be ancient soldiers, dressed in armor, holding spears, and patrolling. There were also archers looking around vigilantly.
“Could my personal copy be set in an ancient society? I wonder what world this is?” Chen Ye was amazed.
He slowly approached the wall.
“Alert!”
An archer on the wall finally noticed him and immediately raised an alarm.
The patrolling soldiers on the wall stopped and prepared for action.
Seeing that there was only one person approaching, the soldiers relaxed slightly.
However, Chen Ye’s strange attire and short hair made them consider him an outsider.
“Halt!”
A stern shout came from the wall, followed by an arrow being shot.
“Whoosh!”
The arrow whistled through the air towards Chen Ye.
Chen Ye didn’t dodge. With his current vision, he could tell that the archer wasn’t aiming to harm him but to warn him to stop.
Thud!
The arrow embedded itself into the ground just two or three centimeters from Chen Ye’s toes, showcasing the archer’s incredible precision.
“Who are you?” a loud voice demanded from the wall.
“I am a Han!” Chen Ye raised his hands and declared.
Unexpectedly, the people on the wall looked disdainful and spat heavily:
“Pah, lying with your eyes open! Look at yourself, how can you claim to be one of us? You look more like a spy from an enemy tribe!”
Chen Ye: “…”
Darn reincarnation system, not giving any advance notice about the world he was in, leaving him unprepared.
If he had known, he would have disguised himself accordingly to avoid this situation.
At this moment, a young officer walked up on the wall and asked, “What’s all the commotion? Who is that man?”
A soldier replied, “Lieutenant, this man’s attire is strange, his origins are unknown, and he claims to be a Han, which is suspicious!”
“Oh?”
The lieutenant looked at Chen Ye and demanded loudly, “Hey, you there! Who are you really? Why are you here? If you don’t tell the truth, beware of our arrows.”
Chen Ye felt exasperated.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something and looked behind him.
The ground behind him was shaking, and the vibrations were getting closer rapidly.
However, his view was blocked by a small hill, so he couldn’t see what was coming.
While Chen Ye couldn’t see it, the soldiers on the wall, having a higher vantage point, saw it clearly.
Their faces turned pale when they saw what was approaching.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Shrill cries erupted from the wall.
All the soldiers sprang into action, grabbing their weapons with fearful expressions.
Although Chen Ye didn’t know what was approaching, seeing the soldiers so alarmed, he also became wary…
“Messenger, quickly notify the commander!” the lieutenant shouted orders. “Everyone else, prepare to defend!”
“Sir, what about the person below the wall?” a soldier asked.
“We can’t worry about him now!” the lieutenant said gravely. “There’s no time to save him.”
