- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 592
“Lord Shura strikes again! It’s impossible to escape from this constant reminder of how much better he is!”
“Seriously! I even logged on an hour and a half late tonight, just to avoid hearing this notification, but it turns out Lord Shura also changed his dungeon-clearing time tonight. So frustrating…”
“Hahaha, it’s not that Lord Shura changed his time; he was running a multiplayer instance first and then started clearing the Reincarnation Tower. That’s why he was an hour late.”
“Ugh, I totally forgot about that! What a pain…”
“By the way, don’t you guys think it’s weird that Lord Shura got another god-tier rating? I’ve read the strategies for the ‘Pacific Rim’ dungeon online, and the enemies are gigantic Kaiju, each with at least A-rank strength. Plus, the mission duration is supposed to be 72 hours. How did Lord Shura manage to complete it in just 8 hours and even go beyond the mission requirements?”
“What’s so strange about that? Lord Shura doesn’t follow the normal path. What seems impossible for us is probably just a walk in the park for him.”
“Exactly. Lord Shura is just that amazing. He’s a true national icon!”
“I don’t care how Lord Shura gets his god-tier ratings; what I’m interested in is… isn’t his next dungeon the 20th-floor trial?”
“What?! You’re right! I almost forgot! The ‘Pacific Rim’ dungeon was on the 19th-floor challenge. That means Lord Shura’s next dungeon is the 20th-floor trial, and that’s a huge opportunity for us newbies!”
“Whoa, thanks for the reminder! I’m signing up right now!”
“Me too!”
“Wait, wait… what are you guys talking about? What opportunity for newbies? What does Lord Shura clearing the 20th-floor trial have to do with us?”
“Bro, haven’t you read the guides on the 20th-floor trial?”
“No, I haven’t. Why?”
“You better go read up! Opportunities like this don’t come twice!”
“Ugh, stop teasing me and just spill it! Or you’re paying for this round!”
“Fine, fine… You know how every fifth floor in the Reincarnation Tower is a trial dungeon, right? Well, the 20th-floor trial is a bit different from the others. The main task in the 20th-floor trial is… bringing along newbies!”
“Exactly. When most veterans take newbies into the 20th-floor trial, there’s a high chance of failure. Many newbies die because it’s such a dangerous mission. But when it comes to Lord Shura, he’s the very definition of safety and reliability. He’s never failed a dungeon run since he started climbing the Reincarnation Tower.”
“Trust me, don’t hesitate. Go sign up now! I’m betting thousands of people in the Reincarnation Tower are waiting for this chance to hitch a ride with Lord Shura, get rich quick, and then go farm other tower dungeons!”
“Wait, that explains why you’ve been hanging around the safe zone for three years! You were about to try the first-floor dungeon, then suddenly changed your mind. You’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you?”
“Hahaha, of course! I was gearing up to give the tower a shot, but then Lord Shura appeared, clearing dungeons at lightning speed. So I decided to wait, and it paid off!”
“But wait! Aren’t there a limited number of spots for newbies in the 20th-floor trial?”
“Yeah, the limit’s 15 people. Why?”
“Then what makes you so sure Lord Shura will pick you? There’ll be a ton of newbies applying, right?”
“True, but there’s always a chance, right? And if I’m chosen, I’ll be hitting the jackpot! The rewards from the 20th-floor trial are incredible. Even if Lord Shura gets the highest rating, the rewards for the rest of us are the same. And if he pulls off another god-tier rating, each newbie will walk away with at least 10,000 Reincarnation Points!”
“Hiss! Ten thousand Reincarnation Points?! Are you serious?”
“Haha, believe what you want. I’m signing up!”
“Wait for me, I’m coming too!”
…
Similar conversations echoed across the Reincarnation Plaza.
Soon, countless newbies from the safe zone were flocking to the mission hall, all lining up to register.
For a moment, the hall was so crowded, it was nearly bursting at the seams.
“Whoa, so many people?”
“Yeah, it’s insane! I thought there’d be maybe 10,000 people at most, but looking at this crowd, we’re easily breaking 100,000!”
“Sigh, Lord Shura’s influence is terrifying. Our chances of getting picked are slim to none!”
“I know, right? Who’d have thought there’d be this many people? I can only pray for a miracle now. Hopefully, I’ll get lucky and hitch a ride with Lord Shura.”
“Wait… I’m still confused. Haven’t others cleared the 20th-floor trial before? Why haven’t I heard about this before?”
“That’s because no one is as reliable as Lord Shura! Even Murong Chui Xue’s 20th-floor trial run didn’t cause this much hype!”
“And another thing—since the 20th-floor trial requires taking along newbies, what happens if no newbies sign up when others are running it?”
“Haha, if there aren’t enough volunteers, the Reincarnation System will forcibly assign 10 newbies. If they’re lucky, they’ll come back alive; if not, they’re dead meat.”
“What the hell? How have I never heard of this before?”
“That’s because you’re too naive! Did you really think the Reincarnation System was some kind of charity? From the moment you entered, your fate has been out of your hands!”
“But wait! This area is called the safe zone, right? And we’re only doing low-danger dungeons, so why would that happen? Isn’t this supposed to be safe?”
“You’re so young, bro. There’s no such thing as absolute safety! Even in the so-called safe zone dungeons, people die. It’s just safer than the Reincarnation Tower… It’s like how your country can be called the safest in the world, but people still die unexpectedly all the time!”
“Yeah! Haven’t you noticed how some of your friends have suddenly stopped logging in? That’s not because they retired. It’s because the Reincarnation System forcibly sent them to the 20th-floor trial with a veteran!”
“What? No way… I’m freaking out. How do I avoid getting forced into this?”
“It’s simple! Just start running the Reincarnation Tower dungeons, and you’ll no longer be considered a newbie!”
“Crap, but that’s even more dangerous!”
“What did you expect? The Reincarnation System didn’t set this up so people could live forever in the safe zone doing nothing! You’ve gotta earn your place!”
“But… but what if I get forced into the trial, and the veteran doesn’t care about me or tries to kill me?”
“Don’t worry about that. It won’t happen. The 20th-floor trial’s rating depends on how many newbies survive. The more that survive, the higher the rating! Unless the veteran is crazy, they’ll do everything they can to keep you safe…”
“Oh, please… Oh, gods, please let Lord Shura pick me!”
