GROIKTP Chapter 549

In Chen Ye’s mind, he was thinking about how to deal with the Wind God.

The Hell Dimension, though dangerous, filled with powerful beings, and ruled by an unpredictable master, was not something Chen Ye was entirely unprepared for.

Despite the challenges, Chen Ye had his own trump cards!

With his current strength, ordinary demons were no match for him.

And on top of that, Chen Ye had his “Saitama Experience Card”!

Once activated, he would possess Saitama’s power, speed, and defense. Coupled with Chen Ye’s own abilities, it would practically make him unstoppable!

Although the Saitama Experience Card only lasted for 30 minutes, it was more than enough time for Chen Ye to turn Hell upside down!

However!

This was not something to be taken lightly. He had to carefully consider the risks before acting.

If the plan failed, not only would the Saitama Experience Card be wasted, but Chen Ye might lose his life in Hell…

As Chen Ye was lost in thought, a voice came from the other end of the phone:

“Chen Ye? Chen Ye?”

Obviously, his silence had made Song Lingrong think something was wrong.

“Uh… I’m here!”

“What happened just now? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”

“Nothing, I just thought about that Wind God and got distracted.”

“Oh, I called just to remind you to be careful. After all, there’s a Hell Dimension entrance near your city… Also, if anything happens in Hell, I hope you can step in and help.”

“Thanks. Don’t worry, if something really goes wrong, I won’t just sit idly by.”

Hearing this, Song Lingrong smiled. “With you saying that, I’m relieved.”

“By the way, did you have something you wanted to talk about?”

“Yeah!” Chen Ye replied, “It’s hard to explain over the phone. How about we meet?”

Walls have ears!

Chen Ye even suspected that advanced surveillance equipment might be monitoring his every word from the neighboring apartment.

“Alright, where do you want to meet?” came Song Lingrong’s response.

“Where are you? I’ll come find you!” Chen Ye asked.

“I’m still at the military district from earlier.”

“I’ll head over.”

After hanging up, Chen Ye said to Chen Weiwei, “I need to head out. You stay home and watch the place.”

“Got it, brother,” Chen Weiwei replied obediently.

Chen Ye nodded, changed clothes, and flew off from the balcony.

Chen Ye wasn’t worried about leaving Chen Weiwei at home.

Although she looked like an ordinary young girl, her true form was a powerful liquid metal robot! And after upgrades in the *One Punch Man* world, she was likely stronger than even ordinary level-A Reincarnators!

Leaving her at home was perfectly safe.

“Boom!”

The sound of him breaking through the air startled several residents.

But when they looked up, they couldn’t even see Chen Ye’s shadow…

…

Chen Ye flew at an incredible speed.

In just twenty minutes, he arrived back at the military base.

When he landed, the tense soldiers immediately recognized him as the Shura and quickly made way.

“Shura!”

Song Lingrong appeared right on time, smiling as she came to greet him.

“You’re late. Yu Ting was already picked up by her family earlier.”

Chen Ye wasn’t bothered by her teasing. “I’ll catch up with her later.”

“Let’s talk in my office!”

Once they were inside, Song Lingrong personally made Chen Ye a cup of tea.

“Chen Ye, on behalf of the government, I want to thank you for what you did last night,” Song Lingrong said sincerely.

She was referring to the battle between the Reincarnators from the night before, where Chen Ye had fought to bring honor to the nation.

“No need to exaggerate,” Chen Ye waved it off. “Besides, Adam isn’t dead. He still poses a serious threat to us.”

“Even so, you inflicted serious damage on Adam, which has bought us all a lot of time,” Song Lingrong said with a smile. “He won’t be trying to gain control of the Thirty-Three Layers anytime soon.”

Chen Ye thought for a moment and asked, “What’s the situation with the Sam Empire now?”

“Yes! This morning, their foreign ministry spokesperson expressed a desire for trade discussions to ease relations between our countries.”

At this, Song Lingrong smiled. “Chen Ye, you’re now a national hero. So many people online look up to you as an idol!”

Though Chen Ye wasn’t one to care about fame, hearing this did give him a sense of pride.

Of course, he remained humble on the surface.

“Let’s get to business,” Chen Ye said. “I’m thinking about moving. Do you have any recommendations for a good place?”

“Oh? Why the sudden decision to move?” Song Lingrong asked in surprise.

“I think my identity has been compromised… Today, some suspicious people moved in next door,” Chen Ye explained honestly.

Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed in Song Lingrong’s eyes.

“Are people targeting you?” she asked. “Do you need help?”

Chen Ye waved it off. “I’m not really afraid of being watched. I just don’t want to be bothered by annoying flies, so I’d prefer somewhere quieter.”

Song Lingrong understood. After thinking for a moment, she smiled. “How about you move to Beijing and become my neighbor? There’s an empty courtyard next to mine. And by the way, Yu Ting has been staying with me lately.”

Chen Ye knew well the value of a courtyard in Beijing.

The price was easily in the hundreds of millions…

And with his current wealth, he certainly couldn’t afford one.

However, knowing that Song Lingrong had suggested it, there must be a way.

But Chen Ye still asked, “Isn’t a courtyard in Beijing usually insanely expensive? I can’t afford that.”

“You wouldn’t have to pay anything!” Song Lingrong laughed. “There are talent housing policies in place, offering homes to attract top talent. And you, Chen Ye, are one of our country’s most outstanding talents!”

Since she put it that way, Chen Ye didn’t argue.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

A glimmer of excitement appeared in Song Lingrong’s eyes.

Having Chen Ye as her neighbor was definitely good news for her family, offering countless advantages.

“Shall we go check out your new home now?” Song Lingrong suggested with a smile.

“No rush,” Chen Ye replied. “There’s something else I want to discuss with you.”

“Oh? What’s that?”

“Have you ever heard of a multiplayer dungeon card?” Chen Ye asked.

“Multiplayer dungeon card?” Song Lingrong frowned slightly as she tried to recall. “I’ve heard of individual dungeon cards, but this is the first time I’m hearing about a multiplayer one.”

“Really?”

A glint appeared in Chen Ye’s eyes.

It seemed that multiplayer dungeon cards were extremely rare in the Reincarnation Space.

Perhaps, like golden treasure chests, they only appeared as rewards for achieving super-god ratings.

“I’ve never even gotten an individual dungeon card myself,” Song Lingrong added. “I’ve only heard about others getting them. They’re very rare in the Reincarnation Space.”

Chen Ye nodded in agreement.

Individual dungeon cards were indeed rare.

Even with his super-god ratings, he had only encountered them twice.

Then, without further delay, Chen Ye took out the multiplayer dungeon card and placed it on the table in front of him.

“Take a look, Fubuki.”

As Song Lingrong picked up the card, a system notification immediately appeared in her mind:

“Multiplayer Dungeon Card: As the name implies, this is a pass for a dungeon that can be played by multiple people! It is recommended to invite more teammates to participate (up to 10 people). The mission rewards are generous, and the rewards are not divided among participants!”

“Note: Specific information about the dungeon will be revealed upon use!”

“Warning: This item does not belong to you and cannot be used!”

After hearing the prompt, a look of astonishment appeared on Song Lingrong’s face.

“This… this kind of thing, I’ve never heard of it before.”

Chen Ye smiled. “I came to find you because I wanted to talk to you about this.”

“I’ve gotten and used individual dungeon cards before. When you use one, it transports you to a dungeon world that only you can complete. Typically, the tasks are simple, the difficulty is low, but the rewards are generous… I’m curious to see what a multiplayer dungeon is like.”

“Chen Ye, are you saying…”

“I’d like to invite you and Yu Ting to join me in clearing a multiplayer dungeon!!” Chen Ye said with a smile.

“Of course, I’ve never done one before, so I’m not sure what it entails. There could be risks…”

Though Chen Ye was cautious in his words, Song Lingrong couldn’t contain her excitement.

The system’s prompt had already stated that the mission rewards were generous!

With that guarantee, even with a certain amount of risk, it was worth it.

Song Lingrong fully understood the goodwill behind Chen Ye’s invitation.

Besides!

This was an invitation from Chen Ye!

And who was Chen Ye?

The legendary Shura!

Being led through a dungeon by Shura was a guaranteed victory!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Moreover, Song Lingrong, like many Reincarnators, was stuck on a certain floor, unsure if her strength was enough to clear the next stage.

The Reincarnation Tower’s dungeons grew increasingly dangerous.

If your strength wasn’t enough, you could easily die!

For someone like Song Lingrong, what she needed most was reincarnation points to strengthen herself and continue advancing through the tower.

Chen Ye offering to take her

 through a dungeon was like a godsend… or more accurately, it was like receiving a pillow just when you were ready for sleep!

“Chen Ye, thank you…” Song Lingrong’s voice trembled with excitement as she expressed her gratitude.

Chen Ye chuckled. “No need to be so polite. Besides, I don’t even know what kind of dungeon it is. It might end up being dangerous and drag you into trouble!”

“As long as you’re there, I believe there’s no way we’ll fail!” Song Lingrong’s voice was full of confidence.

Everyone in the Reincarnation Space knew of Shura’s reputation.

He was synonymous with super-god ratings!!

The man who had earned super-god ratings in both the *Heart Demon* and *One Punch Man* dungeons.

Seeing the faith Song Lingrong had in him, Chen Ye smiled wryly and said, “Alright! Since you’ve agreed, let’s act tonight! But right now, it’s just the three of us. The system said we can have up to 10 people, so we still have seven spots left. It would be a waste not to fill them.”

Song Lingrong couldn’t help but ask, “Chen Ye, what are you suggesting?”

Chen Ye smiled. “I’m used to working alone and don’t have many friends, so I’ll leave those seven spots up to you!”

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Song Lingrong’s eyes.

Chen Ye was practically handing her a massive opportunity…

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if she spread the word that Shura was looking for teammates to clear a dungeon, the news would send shockwaves, at least across China, if not the whole world!

People would fight tooth and nail for a spot.

They’d probably be willing to break down her door for the chance.

After all, who wouldn’t want to be on Shura’s team and have a chance to clear a dungeon with him?

The only downside was that Shura had always been a lone wolf. Apart from bringing his girlfriend along a couple of times, he never took anyone else.

Now, he was offering her control of these seven coveted spots…

The possibilities for how she could leverage this opportunity were endless.

For example, if she were greedy, she could sell those spots for a fortune and reap incredible rewards!

However, Song Lingrong wasn’t foolish. She knew better than to make such a short-sighted move.

There were other ways to use this opportunity to build powerful alliances…

The benefits were so immense that they were impossible to ignore.

She glanced at Chen Ye, her eyes filled with gratitude.

“Chen Ye, do you have any specific requirements for the remaining seven participants?”

“Requirements…” Chen Ye thought for a moment before saying, “First and foremost, they must follow orders.”

“Since this is a multiplayer dungeon, it’s possible there will be team-based objectives. I don’t want anyone messing things up and causing the mission to fail, or not meeting my expectations… Of course, I won’t set impossible goals or deliberately put anyone in harm’s way.”

Song Lingrong nodded. “Of course! I’ll make sure they follow orders. I will, too.”

She smiled and added, “After all, your achievements speak for themselves. You’ve become the leading authority on dungeon strategy in the Reincarnation Space.”

Chen Ye quickly played it down. “You’re exaggerating, Fubuki.”

“It’s not just me who says that,” Song Lingrong shook her head. “It’s a fact acknowledged by everyone!”

Chen Ye sighed. “Alright, let’s move on. The second requirement is that their strength must be decent. At least an A-grade comprehensive rating! I don’t want anyone dragging us down.”

Song Lingrong nodded again.

Even if Chen Ye hadn’t made that point, she wouldn’t have allowed weaklings to join.

She knew all too well the dangers of incompetent teammates.

Besides, she and Tang Yuting were both participating in the dungeon.
