GROIKTP Chapter 546

Hearing the broadcast.

Most reincarnators just paused briefly, then carried on with whatever they were doing, not paying it much mind.

It was simply too normal for Shura to get a transcendent rating.

However, quite a few reincarnators were utterly shocked.

Especially those familiar with the *One Punch Man* instance; they were even more astonished.

Those who knew about the three tasks in the *One Punch Man* instance understood how extremely difficult they were—almost impossible to crack.

The first two tasks were manageable; while tough, they could be completed, though receiving a high evaluation was uncertain.

But the third task was different…

The third task was to defeat the strongest being!

In the eyes of many, the strongest being in *One Punch Man* was the universally recognized “Blast”!

Not only was Blast the most powerful, but he was also incredibly mysterious—almost no one knew where he was.

To complete the third task, you’d need the strength to defeat Blast and also know his whereabouts to even find him…

These two requirements were nearly impossible to meet!

Normally, most reincarnators, upon reaching the 18th floor of the Reincarnation Tower, would have a power level roughly equivalent to a senior B-rank. Those with better talent might just break into A-rank!

With that kind of strength, not to mention defeating Blast, they couldn’t even defeat the S-rank heroes in the *One Punch Man* world.

Moreover.

Finding Blast was practically impossible.

Even the higher-ups in the Hero Association didn’t know where Blast was, so how could anyone else find him?

(Except for Chen Ye, no one knew that the true strongest being in *One Punch Man* was not Blast, but Saitama!)

…

“What the heck, did Shura complete all three tasks? Did he kill the strongest monster, take the top spot among S-rank heroes, and even defeat Blast?”

“Hiss! That sounds too unbelievable! How did he even manage that?”

“The first two tasks are still plausible; if you’re strong enough, you might have a chance. And we all know Shura’s strength is unquestionable… But the third task—where did Shura even find Blast?”

“Shura is just too powerful! Even a task like that couldn’t stump him?”

“Sigh! I remember when I finished the *One Punch Man* instance, I got a C-rank evaluation. Compared to Shura, I feel like such a waste of space!”

“You idiot! Of all people, you had to compare yourself to Shura? Isn’t that just asking for self-punishment?”

“I’m really curious, how did Shura complete those three tasks? Who was the strongest monster? How did he take the top S-rank spot? And where on earth did he find Blast? I’m about to tackle the *One Punch Man* instance myself. It’d be great if Shura shared his strategy!”

“You’re dreaming…”

In Region C, the senior reincarnators were all in heated discussions.

Meanwhile, in other regions, the same conversations were happening.

A reincarnator who had just exited the 18th floor instance was immediately invited to a bar by his friends to discuss the matter.

“Hey, Brad, first of all, congratulations on passing the 18th-floor *One Punch Man* test! How did you do? What evaluation did you get?”

The reincarnator named Brad shrugged and said, “What else? Just a B-rank.”

His friend chimed in, “B-rank? That’s already impressive! No one has ever gotten a great evaluation in *One Punch Man*, not even Adam—he only got an A-rank.”

“That was before. Don’t forget the broadcast we just heard—damn Shura got another transcendent rating!” someone else added.

“What? A transcendent rating?” Brad was stunned. “Really? Did Shura find Blast?”

Another person responded, “Of course it’s true, everyone heard the broadcast… By the way, Brad, you were in the same batch as Shura, right? Can you tell us how he pulled it off?”

“Sorry, I don’t know much either,” Brad said slowly. “But one thing was strange: not long after we entered the instance, even before the test began, Shura had already become the top S-rank hero!”

“What? How did that happen? Did Shura cheat?”

“Who can cheat in the Reincarnation Space? I think it’s possible that Shura time-traveled to the past. That’s the only explanation.”

“That’s the only possibility…”

“I see now, that’s a perfect plan!”

“But still, I have no idea how he found Blast and defeated him…”

“Forget it, thinking about it just gives me a headache.”

“What I’m worried about is that the *PUBG* instance is about to open, and with Shura around, Region C is definitely going to come in first this time!”

“Damn it, I almost forgot about that…”

“It’s all Adam’s fault! Losing to Shura—he brought shame to all of us!”

…

…

A flash of white light.

Chen Ye appeared in the Reincarnation Space.

The system’s reward prompt immediately followed:

[Dear Reincarnator ‘Shura,’ you have completed the mission. The rewards for this instance are as follows!]

[Reincarnation Points: 68,000!]

[Mental attribute +40.]

[Multiplayer Instance Card x1 (stored in your personal warehouse).]

[Golden Treasure Chest x1 (stored in your personal warehouse).]

Hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Ye’s expression changed slightly.

He wasn’t surprised that he received a transcendent rating in this instance.

The Great Serpent King and Boros had both died by his hand, he had taken the top S-rank hero position, and he had defeated Saitama (though not through entirely honorable means)!

If that didn’t earn him a transcendent rating, he would have nothing to say.

This was the best he could do!!

Even if he tried again, he couldn’t do any better…

Additionally.

This instance’s rewards included a “Multiplayer Instance Card.”

This was the first time Chen Ye had received such a thing.

Driven by curiosity, Chen Ye immediately went to his personal warehouse.

Upon seeing Chen Ye, Skynet, who was in the warehouse, spoke up, “Big Brother, are we back in your world?”

Chen Ye nodded, “Yes.”

“I see there’s a new card and a treasure chest on the shelf…” Skynet suddenly asked, “Big Brother, will I be able to see Saitama and Genos again?”

Clearly, Skynet had realized something.

“Of course, you will!” Chen Ye answered without hesitation.

Skynet smiled and said, “Thank you, Big Brother.”

Chen Ye was taken aback. “Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for giving me a new life…”

Skynet giggled and then said, “I’ll leave you to it, Big Brother. You should open the chest!”

Chen Ye glanced at Skynet curiously, thinking that today, Skynet was acting a bit strange…

But Chen Ye didn’t dwell on it and began to examine his rewards.

Once again, he had received four rewards: points, attribute increases, the multiplayer instance card, and the golden treasure chest.

He had 3,000 more points than last time, which was obviously due to the increased difficulty.

The points could be dealt with later.

For now, Chen Ye was very curious about the “Multiplayer Instance Card.”

Chen Ye approached the shelf and picked up the card.

The system immediately provided an explanation…

[Multiplayer Instance Card: As the name suggests, this is a pass for an instance that multiple players can participate in! It is recommended to invite more friends to join (up to 10 people). The task rewards are rich and will not be divided based on the number of participants!]

[Note: Further details about the instance will be available upon using the card!]

Chen Ye stood stunned for a moment.

That’s it?

I need to use the card to get more details?

Chen Ye frowned, unsure if this card was good or bad…

However, since the system said the rewards were rich, it probably wasn’t a bad thing!

“A maximum of 10 people…”

Chen Ye only had four friends in total. With himself, that made five.

“Forget it, I’ll think about that later. Let’s open the chest first!”

Chen Ye took out the golden treasure chest!

He was pretty excited about this golden treasure chest.

Having opened so many chests, Chen Ye had figured out a pattern for the rewards.

In most cases, 80% of the items found in chests were related to the instance world.

For example, in the *X-Men* instance, the golden chest had given him the “Regeneration” ability, and in the *Kung Fu Hustle* instance, the silver chest had given him the “Lion’s Roar Technique”!

So, Chen Ye had high hopes for this golden chest.

After all, it was from the *One Punch Man* instance!

If he could get Saitama’s abilities, that would be a huge win…

With excitement and anticipation, Chen Ye opened the golden treasure chest…

A flash of golden light.

[Congratulations, you have obtained a ‘Saitama’ Experience Card!]

[Saitama Experience Card: Upon use, your strength, speed, and defense will temporarily increase by 99,999… Duration: 30 minutes!]

[Note: This is a one-time consumable item that can only be used once.]

[Note: This item is eligible for system recycling at a value of 97,000 Reincarnation Points.]

Hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Ye stared blankly at the Saitama Experience Card in his hand, unsure of what to think…

Before opening the chest, he had wished for Saitama’s abilities, thinking

 that would be the ultimate jackpot.

After opening the chest, he had indeed gotten Saitama’s abilities.

But unfortunately!!

It was a one-time use…

What a scam!

If the system didn’t allow recycling, and the recycling price wasn’t decent, Chen Ye might have exploded in frustration!

…

After thinking it over for a long time, Chen Ye decided not to exchange the Saitama Experience Card for Reincarnation Points.

It had to be said!

Saitama was incredibly strong!

The stats on his experience card were just ridiculous…

If Chen Ye had stats like that, he could practically kill gods!

Even though it was just a one-time card, it could still be extremely useful.

For example, if Chen Ye found himself being pursued by an unbeatable enemy in a future instance, having this card would be like having a life-saving ability—and he could even turn the tables on his pursuers!!

So, Chen Ye decided to hold onto the Saitama Experience Card for emergencies.

After all, he wasn’t in dire need of Reincarnation Points at the moment.

“Big Brother, the person on that card looks like Saitama!” Skynet, who had somehow come up behind Chen Ye, looked curiously at the experience card in his hand.

Chen Ye nodded and said, “This card is important, so don’t mess with it!”

“I know!” Skynet scrunched her nose and said, “Without your permission, I wouldn’t dare touch anything here!”

Hearing that, Chen Ye glanced at Skynet.

He felt that this entity was becoming more and more human-like, with emotions just like a real person.

Thinking for a moment, Chen Ye asked, “Skynet, would you like to change your name?”

Skynet’s eyes lit up.

“Big Brother, are you really okay with me changing my name?”

“Of course!” Chen Ye said. “I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while now.”

Skynet was thrilled: “That’s great! I don’t like the name ‘Skynet,’ but I didn’t want to upset you…”

Chen Ye looked deeply at Skynet and smiled: “Since you’re my little sister, you should be able to choose your own name.”

Then, Chen Ye asked, “So, have you thought of a name yet?”

Skynet thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure yet… I’ll need to go do some research.”

“Alright, let’s go back then!”

With that, Chen Ye returned to the real world and let Skynet out.

At this point.

It was already past 4 a.m.

Chen Ye said to Skynet, “Take your time thinking about it; I’m going to sleep.”

Skynet said goodnight and immediately entered the network to search for a suitable name…

…

The next day.

In the military base.

Tang Yuting had woken up early.

After washing up, she went to Chen Ye’s room, only to find that he was already gone.

On the table was a note left by Chen Ye.

“Something came up, so I went home early…”

Seeing the note, Tang Yuting let out a small sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, her cousin Murong Chuxue was already hard at work, listening to her subordinates’ reports.

“Commander, last night, Lord Shura… I mean, Mr. Shura, received two more transcendent ratings.”

Murong Chuxue smiled when she heard this. “That guy… still working just as hard.”

It was clear that Murong Chuxue was in a good mood.

In last night’s battle, Shura had seriously injured Adam, not only dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Sam Empire but also elevating the prestige of their own nation!

As a patriot, Murong Chuxue had every reason to feel good.

Moreover, Adam’s severe injury meant that he wouldn’t dare venture into the Reincarnation Tower for a while, which gave the reincarnators of China more time.

If Adam had been the first to gain access to the 33rd floor, it would have been a nightmare for all Chinese reincarnators!
