- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 81-90
Chen Ye used only two fingers to press against the door, preventing Li Qiang from closing it.
“Young man, what are you doing? Be careful, or I’ll call the police!” Li Qiang said warily.
“Sir, Chu Renmei has started killing again. Over twenty people have died at her hands, and now she’s after me. I don’t want to die, so I need your help!” Chen Ye lied again.
In reality, those people had died by his own hands.
Hearing about so many deaths, Li Qiang’s face showed a pained expression.
“Aunt Mei, it’s been nearly a hundred years, can’t you let go?” he muttered sorrowfully.
Finally, Li Qiang relented. “Alright, I’ll take you there!”
In the original story, Li Qiang was kind-hearted from a young age, which likely contributed to his long life.
“Thank you, sir!” Chen Ye smiled.
Li Qiang changed his shoes, locked his door, and then led Chen Ye to where Chu Renmei was buried.
“Is it far, sir? Should we take a cab?”
“It is a bit far. Let’s take a cab.”
Chen Ye hailed a taxi after hearing this.
…
While the taxi was on the road, a small truck suddenly lost control at a red light and sped toward the back of the taxi.
The truck driver, a middle-aged man, looked dazed.
The taxi had just started moving and couldn’t accelerate fast enough to avoid the collision.
Seeing this, Chen Ye’s face darkened.
“Bang!”
He elbowed the car door open and pulled Li Qiang out from the back seat.
The entire sequence of actions took less than a second.
Before Li Qiang could react, he found himself sitting on the road.
Boom!
The truck crashed heavily into the back of the taxi, crushing the rear seat.
At that moment, the truck driver snapped out of his daze and hurriedly got out to check the situation, panic-stricken.
Chen Ye had just helped Li Qiang up when another sudden event occurred.
A white sports car, speeding at least 80 mph, headed straight for him.
The driver, a fashionable young woman, was screaming and unable to do anything else.
Chen Ye’s face changed as he pushed Li Qiang out of the way.
He tried to dodge, but it was too late…
In a critical moment, Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body.
Boom!!
Another crash sounded.
This time, it wasn’t a car hitting a car but a car hitting a person!
The white sports car’s front end crumpled upon impact.
Chen Ye was thrown more than ten meters away by the force of the collision.
Two accidents in quick succession drew the attention of numerous bystanders.
Many people got out of their cars to watch.
“Wow, this guy is definitely dead after such a hit!”
“Yeah! That young man is really unlucky!”
The onlookers all assumed Chen Ye couldn’t have survived such an accident.
However.
To their shock, Chen Ye, lying on the ground, flipped over and slowly got up.
Finally, he stood firmly, unscathed!!
“This… is this even possible?”
The onlookers were stunned, staring at Chen Ye.
Ignoring the stares, Chen Ye walked to the sports car. Through the window, he saw the female driver slumped over the airbag, unconscious.
Without checking further, Chen Ye approached the truck driver.
“What happened just now?” Chen Ye asked.
The driver stammered, “I… I don’t know. Suddenly, everything went dark, and the truck lost control…”
Chen Ye’s eyes flashed with realization.
He immediately understood that this was Chu Renmei’s second attempt to kill him!
Scanning the surroundings, he saw no sign of Chu Renmei.
Chen Ye then went to the still-shaken Li Qiang and said, “Sir, you must have noticed too, right? These two accidents were no coincidence; they were aimed at me!”
“This isn’t a coincidence but Chu Renmei trying to kill me!”
Li Qiang nodded repeatedly and pointed to a nearby mountain. “Aunt Mei… is buried on that mountain!”
Chen Ye glanced at the mountain and said, “I don’t know the exact location. Could you lead me there, please?”
“Of course… But young man, you were hit pretty hard. Are you sure you’re okay?”
Chen Ye took a deep breath, “I’m fine!”
In truth…
He wasn’t entirely unscathed.
Though his Armament Haki made him nearly invulnerable, his internal organs were still flesh and blood.
The impact from the sports car was powerful. If Chen Ye weren’t so strong, he might have suffered internal bleeding.
Right now, he had some internal injuries.
The more he was attacked, the more Chen Ye wanted to resolve the issue with Chu Renmei quickly.
Under the astonished gazes of onlookers, Chen Ye and Li Qiang continued on their way.
The mountain wasn’t far; they decided to walk the rest of the way.
…
Half an hour later.
Li Qiang finally led Chen Ye to the place where Chu Renmei’s body was discarded years ago.
However, to Li Qiang’s surprise, the area had been bought by a real estate company and turned into a construction site for a luxury residential area.
“This place used to be a desolate burial ground. How could it…”
Chen Ye wasn’t surprised.
He had seen the original storyline and knew what had happened here.
“Sir, I think her remains were thrown into a nearby ravine or pond by the developers. Do you know if there’s a pond nearby?” Chen Ye asked.
Chu Renmei’s remains were indeed in a nearby pond!
“Yes!” Li Qiang nodded. “There’s a pond nearby with very clear water. The villagers of Huangshan used to get their water from there. I’ll take you there.”
“Thank you, sir.”
To be honest, it was fortunate that Li Qiang was still in good health. Otherwise, an average elderly person would have struggled with all this.
Li Qiang was nearly a hundred years old… proving that good people do get rewarded!
Soon.
Li Qiang led Chen Ye to a pond.
“This is it, the only pond around here!”
Seeing the pond, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
He remembered the plot. This pond was indeed where Chu Renmei’s body was.
The pond’s location was quite secluded. Without Li Qiang’s help, Chen Ye might have taken a whole day to find it.
…
————————
Chapter 82
“After all these years, the water here is still so clear!” said Li Qiang, moving toward the riverbank as if he wanted to drink the water from his old home.
“Sir, I advise you not to do that!” Chen Ye quickly stopped him.
In the original story, Li Qiang drank from this pond and was killed by Chu Renmei, who drove a steel rod through his throat!
Chu Renmei originally didn’t intend to kill Li Qiang. She finally decided to act because Li Qiang revealed her past to others…
“Sir, there might be a corpse in this water. Drinking it could make you sick,” Chen Ye warned kindly.
Li Qiang, being kind-hearted and helpful, had earned Chen Ye’s concern and he didn’t want to see him get hurt.
Hearing Chen Ye’s warning, Li Qiang gave up the idea.
“Young man, you’re right!”
“Sir, thank you for bringing me here. I can handle it from here, so you can go back now.”
“Young man, be careful. Aunt Mei, she…”
Li Qiang trailed off, shaking his head before turning to leave.
Watching his departing figure, Chen Ye murmured, “Now, it’s her turn to be careful!”
Once Li Qiang was gone, Chen Ye cast a cold glance at the pond before turning to leave as well.
Although he knew Chu Renmei’s body was submerged in the middle of the pond, Chen Ye wasn’t foolish enough to dive in to retrieve it or to engage in a fight there.
People are land creatures after all!
Chen Ye wasn’t about to be foolish enough to battle the ghost on her home turf.
In the original story, one of the male protagonists dove into the pond to try to resolve Chu Renmei’s grudge. He ended up being strangled to death by her at the bottom…
…
Soon, Chen Ye returned to the construction site.
“Who’s in charge here?” Chen Ye asked a worker.
Maybe it was Chen Ye’s imposing demeanor, but the worker didn’t dare ignore him and pointed to a plump man in a white hat. “That’s the project manager. He’s in charge here.”
On a construction site, those wearing white hats are usually high-level managers.
Yellow hats are the lowest rank, worn by ordinary workers.
Red and blue hats indicate staff with specific positions.
“Thanks!” Chen Ye nodded and walked confidently toward the project manager.
Before he even reached him, he heard the manager berating his subordinates:
“The project is already five days behind schedule! What are you all doing? If you don’t want to work, then get out!”
Several blue-hatted workers stood with their heads down, not daring to speak.
At that moment, the manager felt someone tap his shoulder and turned around quickly.
“Who are you?” he asked, seeing the unfamiliar face.
Chen Ye smiled slightly. “Are you the project manager? I’d like to borrow your water pump (a large pump).”
That’s right!
Chen Ye planned to drain the pond where Chu Renmei’s body was hidden!
“Who do you think you are? Just asking to borrow our equipment? Are you some kind of big shot in Wan Chai? So arrogant!” the manager replied, annoyed.
“I’m even more arrogant than that!” Chen Ye said with a smile, but his actions were ruthless!
Slash!
He pulled out the black blade Autumn Water from his personal storage and sliced off two of the manager’s fingers.
Then, amid the manager’s screams, he placed the blade against the man’s neck.
“Now, will you lend it to me?” Chen Ye asked with a smile.
“Yes! Right away! You can borrow it as long as you need!” the manager replied in terror, feeling the sharpness of the blade.
“See? That wasn’t so hard. And lend me a case of gasoline while you’re at it,” Chen Ye said calmly.
Now in the final showdown, it was a life-or-death battle with Chu Renmei, and time was short. Chen Ye was no longer worried about subtlety.
Soon after, the manager, now very cooperative, directed workers to transport two large pumps to the pond and set them up with power.
“Rumble, rumble!”
The two pumps roared to life.
These heavy-duty pumps, weighing 10 tons each, were quickly draining the small pond!
In less than an hour, the pond would be dry.
Watching the water level drop, Chen Ye smiled.
Chu Renmei, what will you do now?
…
This was a critical moment.
Chen Ye knew Chu Renmei would definitely try to sabotage his plan.
The best way for her to do that would be to destroy the pumps or cut the power.
So, Chen Ye stayed vigilant, guarding the area personally.
He was right.
Before long, a worker suddenly became dazed and started walking toward the power source.
Chen Ye knew immediately that this worker was possessed by Chu Renmei…
In the original story, Chu Renmei had demonstrated the ability to possess anyone who had drunk the pond water.
Without hesitation, Chen Ye sent the black blade Autumn Water flying. Guided by his telekinesis, it severed the worker’s legs in an instant.
Seeing this, the project manager and other workers screamed in horror.
They watched in shock as the legless worker showed no signs of pain.
Using his hands, the worker continued to crawl toward the power source.
Such a horrifying scene left the manager and workers petrified…
Chen Ye, however, remained calm.
With a wave of his hand…
Slash!
The worker’s head was severed, rolling on the ground.
The body finally collapsed, lifeless.
Was the worker innocent?
Of course!
But Chen Ye couldn’t afford to be lenient when his plans were threatened.
In these dangerous times, Chen Ye had become ruthless, a quality of a seasoned reincarnator.
“You all listen up! No one is to approach the pumps or generator from now on!” Chen Ye warned coldly.
Immediately, the project manager and workers backed away from the equipment.
“Chu Renmei, the water is almost gone. What else can you do?”
Chen Ye felt confident.
The next moment.
Chen Ye’s expression changed.
He felt his left hand losing control!!
At the critical moment, Chu Renmei had chosen to possess him…
—————————-
Chapter 83
**(Explanation: On construction sites, when digging foundations, it’s common to encounter groundwater seepage, so large construction sites are usually equipped with water pumps to remove groundwater)**
At the final moment, Chu Renmei decided to directly possess Chen Ye!
No wonder the “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon is rated as a “nightmare” level.
Once Chu Renmei uses this trick, how many reincarnators can withstand it?
Chu Renmei’s inability to fully possess Chen Ye was entirely due to his incredibly strong mental fortitude.
Strong mental power represents strong willpower!
Chen Ye’s current mental strength is dozens of times that of a normal person.
Combined with the boost from the Heart of the Brave, his willpower is exceptionally strong!!
Even ten Chu Renmei’s trying to possess him wouldn’t be able to control his mind!
However, Chu Renmei was clearly desperate, and despite failing to fully possess him, she still managed to take over one of his arms.
It seemed Chen Ye’s plan to drain the pond had truly scared her.
This was a desperate move!
Once the pond was drained and Chu Renmei’s body was exposed, with Chen Ye’s strength and means, he could easily deal with her.
With control over Chen Ye’s left arm, Chu Renmei immediately made it clench into a fist and swung it toward the nearby water pump!
In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded!
“Slash!”
The sound of cutting was heard.
It was Chen Ye.
He had directly cut off his own left arm with his blade!!!
Ruthless!
Extremely ruthless!!
The nearby manager and the workers were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
They had seen tough people before, but someone as ruthless as Chen Ye was a first!
He didn’t hesitate at all to sever his own arm.
Not only the workers, but even Chu Renmei was shocked by Chen Ye’s ruthlessness…
…
Chen Ye’s face turned pale.
Blood flowed continuously from the severed arm.
But Chen Ye didn’t care!
Once he returned to the Reincarnation Space, the system could heal all his injuries, and his hand would grow back.
So, losing an arm wasn’t a big deal to Chen Ye.
If his hand couldn’t be restored, he wouldn’t have been foolish enough to self-mutilate.
The next moment.
He felt a strange sensation in his right hand.
“Hmm? Trying again? You caught me off guard before, but now you think this will work?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Armament Haki covered his entire body.
“Get out!!” Chen Ye shouted angrily.
Instantly.
Chu Renmei’s attempt to control him failed again.
Subsequently.
Chu Renmei made several more attempts to possess Chen Ye, all ending in failure.
“Chu Renmei, not even the King of Hell can save you today!!” Chen Ye snorted coldly.
Although Chu Renmei had been a pitiful figure in life.
However…
What did that have to do with Chen Ye?
This ghost had repeatedly caused trouble for him, even forcing him to sever his own hand. She had completely enraged Chen Ye!
Ten minutes later.
“Sir… the pond is drained,” the manager reminded softly, eager to go to the hospital.
Chen Ye stood up and saw that the pond’s water had finally been drained, leaving only a bit of residual water.
A body wrapped in a straw mat floated to the surface, exposed to the air.
Decades had passed, and the body had turned into bones.
Even as bones, the hands were raised, shaped like menacing claws, showing the hatred from when they were alive.
Clearly.
This was Chu Renmei’s skeleton.
Beside the skeleton was a bracelet.
Decades had passed, and the bracelet had turned old and black, covered with algae and looking filthy from being submerged in water for so long.
Seeing the bracelet, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
This was also a very important item.
The bracelet was something Chu Renmei cherished in life. Putting it back on her would help to resolve her grudge.
Holding the bracelet in his hand, Chen Ye’s eyes gleamed coldly.
Then.
Chen Ye stepped through the mud, walking towards Chu Renmei’s skeleton.
Suddenly.
A female ghost with disheveled hair and a blue robe appeared out of thin air, blocking his path.
“A ghost!!”
Seeing the ghost, the manager and the workers screamed in terror and fled.
Chen Ye ignored them and focused on Chu Renmei, smiling coldly.
“Do you really think you can stop me now?”
Finally.
For the first time, Chu Renmei spoke: “What will it take for you to leave me alone?”
(In the original story, Chu Renmei also spoke in the end)
Hearing this, Chen Ye laughed loudly but didn’t bother to respond, continuing to stride forward.
Chu Renmei angrily lifted her hair, revealing a hideous, decayed face, and roared at Chen Ye.
It was terrifying!
However, to Chen Ye, this was just her last struggle!
Chen Ye ignored her, walking straight through her illusionary body, arriving at her skeleton.
He picked up the bracelet and put it on one of her hands.
As soon as the bracelet was on, it emitted a golden light.
When the light faded, Chu Renmei’s skeleton, which had been holding its hands up, finally slowly lowered them.
“Aahhh!!!”
Behind Chen Ye.
The apparition of Chu Renmei let out a horrified scream and finally vanished like a bubble.
It seemed Chu Renmei’s grudge had been resolved, and she could no longer harm anyone for now.
However.
Chen Ye intended to completely eradicate this ghostly woman.
No compromises!!
Then.
With a casual gesture, Chen Ye used his telekinesis to move Chu Renmei’s skeleton to the dry shore.
Next, he poured the borrowed gasoline all over her bones and set them on fire.
Boom!
Flames roared to life.
From within the fire came a shrill scream…
The bones were Chu Renmei’s greatest weakness.
Until they were reduced to ash, Chu Renmei wouldn’t be truly defeated!
“Congratulations! You have completed the main task!”
“Note: You will exit this world in 10 minutes…”
The main task was completed.
In less than half a day!
With Chu Renmei dead, nothing could continue to hunt Chen Ye.
In 10 minutes, Chen Ye would leave this place.
So, he stayed where he was, waiting.
When the flames died down, only a pile of ashes remained.
A gust of wind blew through, revealing a glint of gold within the ashes.
It was Chu Renmei’s bracelet.
It had returned to its golden color after being in the fire.
Recalling the bracelet’s earlier behavior, Chen Ye picked it up curiously.
As soon as he touched the bracelet, a system prompt sounded:
“Ding! Special item detected!”
——————————
Chapter 84
“Wow?”
Chen Ye was surprised as he looked at the bracelet in his hand.
He didn’t expect that after defeating Chu Renmei, the bracelet would turn into a special item.
But it wasn’t entirely unexpected.
Just now, the moment he placed the bracelet on Chu Renmei’s wrist, it emitted a golden light, clearly showing something unusual.
Would an ordinary item glow?
Anyway, getting a special item was an unexpected bonus.
Chen Ye stored the bracelet in his personal inventory, planning to study it thoroughly once he returned.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Ye disappeared from where he stood…
…
[Congratulations! Reincarnator ‘Shura’ has performed exceptionally well in the Reincarnation Tower dungeon ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’, completing it in six hours and killing the ghost Chu Renmei, thus overachieving the dungeon task and receiving a perfect rating: SSS!]
Supernatural!!
In the Reincarnation Plaza, the dungeon hall, and among those currently in the dungeon world…
Every reincarnator in the Reincarnation Space heard this broadcast!
Supernatural Rating: SSS!
It had happened again.
And the recipient of this honor was, once again, Shura!
Shocking!
Incredibly shocking!!
All the reincarnators who heard the broadcast were astonished!
This was the third time Shura had received the “SSS” supernatural rating!
Moreover, these three “SSS” ratings were achieved within a span of fewer than ten days…
Such an achievement was unprecedented!
The entire Reincarnation Space was abuzz:
“He’s back! That man is back!”
“Trembling in fear, once again feeling the terror of being dominated by Shura!”
“Here we go again, every time I hear this broadcast, I get a headache!”
“Damn, how long has it been? Three ‘SSS’ ratings? Is he farming supernatural ratings?”
“Shura is constantly reminding me that I’m a failure…”
“Damn, ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’? Isn’t that a nightmare-level dungeon? I heard the ghost in there is incredibly fierce, and Shura managed to defeat her?”
“Does Shura have some super-powerful treasure?”
“Don’t be silly. The Reincarnation System won’t allow loopholes. Any treasures in the ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ dungeon would be useless.”
“Hacking, Shura must be hacking!”
“Truly a god among men!!”
“I once tried ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ and barely made it back. During the three days, I was tormented by the ghost seven times. I had to tie myself up and stay in an empty room, not eating or drinking for three days to survive. I ended up with severe depression afterward… I can’t imagine how Shura managed to defeat the ghost.”
“Dude… no wonder you’ve been less active lately. Feeling better now?”
“I heard Yiye Zhiqiu issued a bounty on Shura? At this rate, Shura might soon surpass Yiye Zhiqiu.”
“I feel the same. Shura is too powerful, earning supernatural ratings in all his dungeon runs!”
“Ha, I got news that a group entered ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ to ambush Shura for Yiye Zhiqiu’s bounty… seems like they didn’t make it!”
“Hiss! Really?”
“Why would I lie? That rich second generation, the Great Demon King, was behind the ambush plan. Do you see him around?”
“Damn, is Shura that ruthless?”
“A genius like Shura must be ruthless to survive in the Reincarnation Tower. When the Great Demon King invited me to join the ambush, I declined. Looks like I made the right choice!”
“Dude, you’re smart! No one’s going to claim Yiye Zhiqiu’s bounty!”
“Shura is amazing. If he sells dungeon guides, just following him would make anyone a top player!”
“Wow, that’s true. Shura, please take me under your wing!”
…
With the system’s announcement, the previously quiet Reincarnation Space burst into commotion!
All the reincarnators were discussing the news, sparking another wave of excitement.
The “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon was well-known in the Reincarnation Space!
It was the first nightmare-level dungeon!
Countless brave souls had challenged it, with 90% failing and never leaving the Reincarnation Tower.
Even those who barely survived were mentally scarred, developing severe psychological trauma.
The Reincarnation System only heals physical injuries after a dungeon.
It doesn’t help with psychological wounds.
Over time, the “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon became one that nearly all newcomers avoided.
Nowadays, most chose the relatively simpler “A Martial World of One.”
So, when news broke that Shura had defeated the terrifying ghost in just six hours, everyone was shocked.
Even more astonishing was Shura achieving supernatural ratings in both the first two floors of the Reincarnation Tower!
This meant that if Shura decided to mentor someone, just sharing a dungeon guide could help others achieve high ratings…
Given this, Shura’s value was enormous!!
At this moment.
Countless powerful factions were eyeing Shura!
Some wanted to recruit him; others saw him as a threat to be eliminated!!
…
In a bar at the entertainment center.
Yiye Zhiqiu was relaxing in a private room, drinking with two women, one massaging him, the other pouring his drinks.
He was thoroughly enjoying himself!
Suddenly.
Hearing the Reincarnation System’s broadcast, Yiye Zhiqiu stood up abruptly, his face shocked.
After a moment.
Yiye Zhiqiu’s eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately logged out.
Back in the real world, Yiye Zhiqiu went to his father’s bedroom.
“Father, are you awake?”
“Is that you, Third Son? What’s the matter?”
“There’s something I can’t decide on. I need your advice.”
After a moment of silence in the room, a voice finally responded, “Help me up and get dressed…”
——————————–
Chapter 85
-Beijing-
In the Ye family’s study.
Yiye Zhiqiu (One Leaf Knows Autumn, 97th global top expert) was reporting to his father:
“Dad, tonight, that ‘Shura’ received another supernatural rating, and it was in a nightmare-level dungeon…”
Hearing this, the old man’s murky eyes suddenly lit up with sharpness.
Although the old man had never been to the Reincarnation Space, as a former high-ranking figure, he knew much more about it than ordinary people.
Regarding the “SSS” rating, Old Master Ye had only recently learned that there was such a perfect, supernatural rating in dungeon runs.
In the past, the most talented individuals, Adam and Murong Chuixue, had only achieved an “S” rating at best.
The “SSS” rating was only known after Shura appeared.
After a while, Old Master Ye sighed, “This person is indeed exceptionally talented, a born reincarnator!”
“With his talent, his future achievements will certainly surpass that foreigner ‘Adam’!”
Yiye Zhiqiu asked, “Father, what should I do now?”
The old man didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “What do you think you should do?”
Yiye Zhiqiu clenched his fists and then relaxed, speaking in a low tone, “I must admit, his talent is the greatest I’ve ever seen. I can’t control him for now. He’s not on the same level as me and won’t be in the same dungeon. Among the reincarnators of the same level, none can match him… His rise is unstoppable!”
The old man nodded, sighing, “It’s good that you’ve realized this.”
“Father, do you mean…”
The old man closed his eyes, a trace of reluctance on his face, and said faintly, “Withdraw the bounty on him. With his talent, even the elders at the central hub are probably intrigued. Continuing to oppose him would be unwise unless you find a way to kill him.”
“Is my nephew’s revenge just going to be left unsettled?” Yiye Zhiqiu was unwilling.
He wasn’t truly concerned about his nephew’s revenge.
He was more worried about losing face in the Reincarnation Space if he withdrew the bounty on Shura.
After all, he was a top player globally, a major figure.
But being afraid of a newcomer…
Such news would definitely damage his prestige.
“Of course, it can’t be left unsettled!”
The old man’s face remained calm, but his tone was filled with hatred, “Such a talented individual is bound to be extraordinary in real life. Even if he’s very discreet, there will be traces… I’ll have people investigate his true identity. If we can’t find it, we’ll endure. If we do…”
He didn’t finish, but Yiye Zhiqiu understood.
“Understood, Dad.”
…
In the Reincarnation Space.
At this moment.
Chen Ye was enveloped in a red glow, feeling a warm sensation all over.
His severed arm was rapidly regrowing, and in just a few breaths, it was completely restored.
Chen Ye clenched his fist, feeling no discomfort. His new arm felt exactly like the original.
A series of prompts echoed in his mind:
[Congratulations, Reincarnator ‘Shura,’ on completing the task. Your rewards are as follows:
Reincarnation Points: 50,000 points.
Physical Attributes: +30.
Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card: X1. (Stored in your personal inventory)
Golden Chest: X1. (Stored in your personal inventory)]
Hearing the system prompts, Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
As expected of a nightmare-level dungeon!
Even with the same supernatural rating, the rewards from the “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon were significantly higher than those from the “World War Z” dungeon.
Just the Reincarnation Points reward was 20,000 points more!!
Chen Ye was very satisfied.
In addition to these system rewards, he also obtained a special item, the bracelet, whose function was yet unknown…
This effort and risk were well worth it.
The system then transported him to the Reincarnation Plaza.
“You have new communication messages. ‘Ake’ invites you to a video call. Please respond promptly.”
“You have new communication messages. ‘Murong Chuixue’ invites you to a video call. Please respond promptly.”
As soon as Chen Ye appeared in the Reincarnation Plaza, he received communication requests from two friends at once…
Fortunately, he had previously blocked messages from strangers.
Otherwise, his communication channel would have been flooded…
Because.
So many people wanted to contact Chen Ye now.
“Decline for now. System, respond that I’m currently unavailable,” Chen Ye instructed.
Then, he entered his personal warehouse.
He was going to open the treasure chest…
…
Somewhere in the Reincarnation Space.
“Your video call request has been declined. The other party responded: Currently unavailable.”
Hearing the system prompt, the masked girl Ake showed a disappointed expression.
She sighed and chose to log off.
On the other side.
Murong Chuixue also received the system prompt.
Unlike Ake, she was surprised.
As the world’s second-ranked expert, countless people sought her favor. Anyone she contacted would welcome her eagerly, even excitedly.
Even “Adam” would show her some respect.
Being directly declined for a communication request was a first.
She felt a bit perplexed, not used to it…
However, Murong Chuixue didn’t get angry.
At her level, how could she be upset over such a trivial matter?
Moreover, couldn’t people have emergencies?
After thinking for a moment, Murong Chuixue instructed:
“System, leave a message for Shura to contact me as soon as he is available.”
She urgently needed to talk to Shura because his performance had caught the attention of the central hub’s elders.
She needed to quickly speak with Shura, gauge his reaction, and ensure he wasn’t swayed by other factions!
Even a fool could see that Shura surpassing Adam to become the top expert was only a matter of time!
An “Adam” was enough to make other countries struggle to rise!
This wasn’t an exaggeration.
If Adam wanted to conduct a decapitation strike, no one could stop him!
And a more talented Shura naturally became a top-tier talent that every major power desperately needed…
…
(Don’t worry, the protagonist won’t join any faction!)
—————————-
Chapter 86
-Personal Warehouse-
Chen Ye retrieved the golden treasure chest, opening it slowly and full of anticipation…
A flash of golden light!
Then, the system’s prompt sounded:
[Congratulations! You have opened a golden treasure chest and obtained the combat skill: Savage Charge!
Savage Charge: An active attack ability. After using this ability, the user charges forward violently, becoming immune to all damage for five seconds and increasing their attack power threefold!
Note: Savage Charge consumes a lot of stamina, so use it with caution!]
After hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Ye was momentarily stunned and slightly disappointed.
The ability “Savage Charge” seemed quite powerful, potentially serving as a finisher. The five seconds of invincibility could be a lifesaver in critical moments.
However.
Compared to the telekinesis ability, Savage Charge was less practical.
Its potential was also not as high as telekinesis.
In reality.
“Savage Charge” is a top-tier combat skill that, if used well, can yield unexpected results.
If Chen Ye were to sell this ability, many people would be interested!
Five seconds of invincibility is a life-saving measure!
Chen Ye’s disappointment stemmed from his high expectations. In the “World War Z” dungeon, the golden chest had granted him the infinitely potential telekinesis ability.
Chen Ye had thought that the more difficult “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon would yield an even better reward.
But it turned out the opposite.
Compared to telekinesis, Savage Charge was certainly inferior.
“It seems that the items from the golden chests are all valuable, but which one is better is random.”
After a moment, Chen Ye regained his composure.
Overall, he was still very satisfied with the dungeon rewards.
With 50,000 points, he could significantly enhance his strength again.
Then.
Chen Ye spent 45,000 points to exchange for 150 potential points, distributing them to his basic attributes, leaving 5,000 points for emergencies.
It wasn’t that Chen Ye didn’t want to upgrade his Armament Haki further.
Armament Haki was very useful!
But upgrading it to the next level required an enormous amount of points.
Upgrading his “Master” level Armament Haki to the “Transcendent” level required 240,000 points!
Yes, you read that right!
240,000 points!!
Not even the richest in the Reincarnation Space could afford that.
(Note: The points needed to upgrade skill proficiency are calculated based on the rarity of the skill. The more powerful the skill, the more expensive it is to upgrade!)
…
After allocating his potential points, Chen Ye’s current attributes were:
[Name: Shura.
Reincarnation ID: (Zone C) 90086.
Physical: 100.
Mental: 200.
Strength: 114.
Agility: 100.
Available Potential: 0.
Skills: English (Proficient), Driving (Beginner), Shooting (Expert), Disguise (Expert), Basic Swordsmanship (Expert).
Special Skill: Armament Haki (Grandmaster).
Combat Skill: Savage Charge.
Ability: Telekinesis.
Reincarnation Points: 5372.
Overall Rating: B.]
…
These were Chen Ye’s current attributes!
All four basic attributes exceeded 100!
Moreover, his mental attribute was an astounding 200 points, which was incredibly strong!!
(There was no miscalculation; the system also rewarded 30 physical points!)
His overall strength rating had finally reached the “B” level!
A newcomer who had just cleared the second floor of the Reincarnation Tower achieving a “B” level rating was truly astonishing!!
A “B” level rating signified a very powerful individual.
In the entire Reincarnation Space, such individuals were big shots.
If Chen Ye wanted to join a faction in the real world now, just showing his arm’s strength rating would instantly make him a high-ranking leader…
Clenching his fist, feeling the surging power in his body, Chen Ye smiled in satisfaction.
The feeling of controlling immense strength was intoxicating!!
Apart from the golden treasure chest and points, there were two other rewards for this dungeon.
One was +30 physical attributes (already accounted for).
The other was a Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card.
The latter was a valuable item, allowing Chen Ye to immediately proceed to the third-floor dungeon.
According to what Chen Ye knew, there was only one dungeon world on the third floor of the Reincarnation Tower.
-One Piece!!-
This was a large-scale public dungeon world, divided into multiple stages, appearing throughout the Reincarnation Tower.
Apart from the third floor, it also appeared later.
For example, the twenty-eighth floor dungeon that Murong Chuixue was stuck in was also ‘One Piece’…
Rumor had it that the twenty-eighth floor dungeon of ‘One Piece’ required reincarnators to participate in the major event “Marineford War!”
The characters appearing there were the top combat forces in the ‘One Piece’ world, capable of world-destroying actions…
Currently.
Among all the reincarnators, only “Adam” had cleared that stage!
…
Chen Ye pondered for a moment but decided not to use the “Dungeon Cooldown Refresh Card” yet.
Although he had ultimately defeated the ghost Chu Renmei in the “The Eternal Evil of Asia” dungeon, the mental exertion was significant. He needed a good rest now.
Then.
Chen Ye picked up the special item, the bracelet, that he had just obtained.
“System, can you tell me what this bracelet does?”
Immediately, the system prompt sounded:
[Special Item: Bracelet!
This item can dissipate the resentment of vengeful spirits. After sealing the ghost Chu Renmei, it gained a new function: Random Teleportation!
Random Teleportation: A weakened version of Chu Renmei’s ability. When used, it can randomly teleport the user a short distance, up to a maximum of 5000 meters.
Note: The bracelet’s teleportation function cannot be used frequently. It can only be used once every 24 hours.]
Hearing the system’s prompt, Chen Ye smiled and happily put the bracelet away.
This random teleportation ability was quite useful and could be a lifesaver in critical moments!!
Overall, the dungeon rewards were very plentiful!
Chen Ye was very satisfied!

Chapter 87
**Personal Warehouse**
As Chen Ye exited his personal warehouse, he received a system prompt:
“Your friend ‘Murong Chuixue’ has left you a message…”
Chen Ye was momentarily taken aback. After listening to the message, he decided to call Murong Chuixue back.
Murong Chuixue hadn’t logged off yet.
It seemed she was waiting for Chen Ye.
When Chen Ye initiated a video call, Murong Chuixue quickly answered.
“Good evening, Murong,” Chen Ye greeted with a smile.
“Shura!” Murong Chuixue said directly, “I’m in Room 3327 at the teahouse in the entertainment center. Could you come over? I have something to discuss with you.”
Chen Ye had nothing else planned, so he agreed after thinking it over.
“Alright, I’ll be there soon.”
After ending the call.
Chen Ye had the system transport him to the teahouse in the entertainment center. He entered the room directly after inputting the room number.
Inside the private room, Murong Chuixue was alone.
“Shura, have a seat.”
After Chen Ye sat down, Murong Chuixue politely asked, “Would you like something to drink?”
Chen Ye shook his head, indicating he didn’t need anything.
Murong Chuixue, however, took the initiative and ordered two cups of calming tea through the holographic screen, spending 70 Reincarnation Points.
Soon, a smart sprite brought the tea into the room.
“This is calming tea. It helps to soothe the mind and refresh the spirit,” Murong Chuixue explained. “Shura, you’ve just completed a nightmare-level dungeon. Your mind must be quite exhausted. This tea will help nourish your spirit.”
“Oh?”
Chen Ye took a sip of the tea and was pleasantly surprised to find that his tired mind indeed felt much more relaxed.
“No wonder there were so many people here when I arrived. It turns out the tea has this kind of effect. The Reincarnation Space is truly amazing!” Chen Ye marveled.
Murong Chuixue smiled slightly and then said, “Shura, you probably know why I’ve asked to meet with you.”
“To buy a strategy guide?” Chen Ye guessed.
“That’s one of the main reasons,” Murong Chuixue replied. “Shura, name your price for the ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ guide.”
However, Chen Ye shook his head.
“Why?” Murong Chuixue was puzzled. “Don’t you want to sell it?”
“It’s not that,” Chen Ye shook his head again. “It’s not that I don’t want to sell it, but I don’t want to deceive you. The key to dealing with the ghost in ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ is having a fearless heart. For that, I have to thank you. The ‘Heart of the Brave’ you gave me helped me a lot!”
Hearing this, Murong Chuixue wasn’t surprised at all. “I should have figured that out earlier.”
“I remember the ghost in ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia’ kills by creating illusions. The weaker the mind, the easier it is to be killed…”
She smiled and didn’t press further about the strategy for ‘The Eternal Evil of Asia.’
She knew.
While having a fearless heart was crucial for dealing with the ghost, Shura must have had other critical information as well!
Not pressing further was also because there was no third ‘Heart of the Brave’ available…
“Let’s not talk about strategy… Shura, I’ve come to you this time with a message from higher-ups.”
Murong Chuixue asked, “Shura, are you interested in joining the government and serving the country?”
“Not interested!!” Chen Ye refused without hesitation.
Murong Chuixue smiled wryly. “Shura, don’t you want to hear what conditions they are offering?”
“Not interested in hearing them either!” Chen Ye said flatly. “I value my freedom and don’t like being constrained. Even if they offered to make me a general, I wouldn’t be interested… Murong, you don’t need to promise me freedom. Your presence here to recruit me shows that this ‘freedom’ isn’t what I want!”
Chen Ye’s words were firm and resolute.
Murong Chuixue sighed and nodded. “I understand.”
Chen Ye was right. Even someone of her level had to worry about mundane affairs and was sent to recruit him. What kind of freedom was that?
Unfortunately, Murong Chuixue had no choice. Her family background determined her destiny.
Looking at Shura with envy, Murong Chuixue asked, “Shura, your response is what I expected. I won’t force you… But I hope you won’t join any other factions lightly. If one day you decide to align with a faction, please consider us first. After all, we are compatriots!”
“Of course!” Chen Ye nodded. “Just because I don’t want to be constrained doesn’t mean I don’t love my country!”
Hearing this, Murong Chuixue stood up with a smile.
“Shura, thank you for being honest. I have to report back now, so I won’t disturb your rest any longer!”
“Alright!” Chen Ye also stood up.
Then.
Murong Chuixue logged off, her figure disappearing from the room.
Chen Ye thought for a moment and then also left the Reincarnation Space to return to the real world and rest…
…
**Real World**
**West**
In a dimly lit room, several middle-aged Caucasian men with sharp auras were seated.
These individuals were part of the CIA of the Sam Empire, also known as “CTA”!
All those present were high-level executives of the CTA.
They had gathered for a meeting.
The central topic of the meeting was “Shura”!!
“The target, codenamed ‘Shura,’ is initially determined to be a Chinese national!”
“He has received three ‘SSS’ supernatural ratings within ten days, two of which were in the Holy Tower!!”
Western countries preferred to call the Reincarnation Tower the Holy Tower and referred to dungeon worlds as trial worlds.
Different terms, same concept.
Hearing this, the surrounding people were shocked.
“Three ‘SSS’ ratings? Oh my God, that’s incredible!”
“Why isn’t such talent a Sam citizen?”
The director glanced at everyone and said seriously, “The President is very concerned about this target, viewing him as a potential threat. If given a few more years, he could threaten our nation’s stability and prosperity. Therefore, we must quickly find out his true identity!”
“And then what?” someone asked.
“Recruit him if possible!” the director replied coldly. “If he agrees to become a Sam citizen, it’s our fortune. If he refuses, for the sake of our country’s prosperity, we must eliminate this threat!!”
“Your mission is to find him. Mobilize all spies and spare no expense to locate this person. Once found, Mr. Adam will personally take action…”
“Hiss!”
Hearing that Adam would get involved, everyone was startled.
That “S” class powerhouse had become a symbol of strength for the nation!
…
Similar meetings were taking place around the world!!
——————————
Chapter 88
**The Next Day.**
**Morning.**
After waking up, Chen Ye washed up and went downstairs for breakfast.
His father had not returned from work yet, and Chen Ye didn’t want to go to school so early, so he stayed home to test his telekinesis.
He mainly wanted to know how heavy an object he could control with his current mental strength.
He first tried lifting the television.
It floated effortlessly under his telekinetic control.
Next, he tried the refrigerator.
It was heavier, but still manageable.
The refrigerator also floated slightly under his telekinetic control.
Fortunately, his father wasn’t home!
Otherwise, seeing this scene, he might have thought the house was haunted…
Finally, Chen Ye tried lifting the sofa and finally felt some strain!!
He walked over and lifted the sofa with his hands, estimating it to be around four to five hundred pounds.
This meant his telekinesis could lift objects weighing around 400 pounds?
200 points of mental strength could lift about 200 kilograms!
This was Chen Ye’s estimate.
The exact numbers might differ slightly, but the margin wouldn’t be large, so there was no need to worry about minor differences.
It was clear that mental strength and physical strength were completely different.
With his current physical strength, he could lift a thousand pounds with ease!
However, despite his mental strength being nearly double his physical strength, the lifting effect of telekinesis was still less effective than physical strength.
Of course, the greatest advantage of telekinesis was its mysterious and intangible nature, making it difficult to defend against.
Its practicality was far superior to mere physical strength.
…
At school.
Chen Ye thought the students would be discussing his alter ego “Shura” since he had achieved another “SSS” rating last night.
However, that wasn’t the case!
When Chen Ye entered the classroom, he quickly noticed that the students were all looking at him with strange expressions…
Chen Ye was taken aback.
He wondered if his true identity had been exposed.
He calmly sat back in his seat, intending to ask Jiang Tao what was going on, but Jiang Tao hurriedly questioned him first.
“What’s going on, Old Chen? Yesterday after school, I just went to the restroom, and then the school beauty Wen came to see you? And she invited you to her birthday party today?”
“How do you know?”
“Who doesn’t know about it in school now? Even the gatekeeper uncle said you and the school beauty have something going on! Look around, everyone’s staring at you… Old Chen, you’re amazing, silently winning over the school beauty!”
Jiang Tao’s tone was filled with envy and jealousy!
Chen Ye, hearing this, felt relieved.
As long as his true identity wasn’t exposed…
“Don’t talk nonsense. She invited me out of friendship… I saved her life last time, remember? She just wants to thank me.”
Chen Ye spoke loudly enough for the surrounding young men to hear.
With his mental age, he had long lost interest in childish jealousy and fights.
He hated trouble and wanted to avoid it whenever possible!
Sure enough.
Hearing Chen Ye’s words, the faces of the young men around him softened. Their looks of envy and jealousy remained but without the hatred!
“Is it really that simple?” Jiang Tao asked.
“Yes!” Chen Ye nodded seriously.
Jiang Tao whispered, “Old Chen, I believe you, but others don’t. I heard that Zhang Tao and his gang, after finding out, vowed to block you after school and teach you a lesson!!”
Chen Ye was puzzled, “Who is Zhang Tao?”
“Uh? Old Chen, you didn’t get brainwashed by the river water, did you? You don’t even know the genius and top rich kid of our school?”
Jiang Tao began to explain in detail:
“Ten days ago, Zhang Tao achieved a B-level rating in ‘Detective Chinatown,’ earning 2000 Reincarnation Points. Do you remember? It was the talk of the school.”
“And he was the one who brought a fleet of sports cars to confess to the school beauty! At the last recruitment event, his comprehensive attributes were just a bit lower than the school beauty’s, and they both got special admissions to the same university…”
“Old Chen, if you’re interested in the school beauty, you need to act fast.”
Chen Ye finally recalled a bit and explained, “I usually focus on top players like Shura, so I was a bit confused!”
“Come on! Shura is way out of our league… uh!!”
At this point, Jiang Tao suddenly remembered that his friend had already reached the fourth floor of the Reincarnation Tower!
Given his friend’s talent, the gap between him and Shura wasn’t that big after all.
“Well, forget what I just said… Now that Zhang Tao is after you, what’s your plan?”
Jiang Tao then slapped his forehead, “Oh my memory! I keep treating you like a nobody… Old Chen, don’t take it the wrong way. It’s just that you’re usually so low-key. You didn’t even tell me you were advancing in the Reincarnation Tower… I worried for nothing. If Zhang Tao dares to trouble you, let me know. I want to see him get beaten by you!”
Chen Ye felt speechless. “Your names are so similar, why do you act like enemies?”
“Come on, don’t associate me with that guy. Who doesn’t dislike him in school?” Jiang Tao said. “Old Chen, promise me, if that guy troubles you, give him a good beating.”
“Childish, not interested!” Chen Ye replied.
He truly had no interest in such matters.
Right now, he was most interested in the Reincarnation Tower!!
Pursuing great power had become Chen Ye’s goal.
Because the feeling of being full of strength was intoxicating…
…
After finishing his conversation with Jiang Tao, Chen Ye took out his phone to check the strategy guide for the third floor of the Reincarnation Tower.
Yes.
He planned to tackle the “One Piece” dungeon tonight.
Unsurprisingly.
Online, his alias “Shura” was trending again!
Previously, many netizens were skeptical about Shura, thinking he was just lucky.
Now… everyone was asking if Shura needed any followers!
One “SSS” rating could be considered luck.
Two “SSS” ratings could still be called luck.
But three consecutive “SSS” ratings? Anyone calling that luck would be considered brainless.
—————————-
Chapter 89
“Without a doubt, Shura is a true legend!!”
“Do you even need to say that? Shura has been my idol for a long time!”
“Are we about to enter another era dominated by Shura?”
“Shura is just too awesome. Last night, while I was drinking in the Reincarnation Space, I heard that Yiye Zhiqiu has already withdrawn the bounty on Shura!”
“Seriously? Is that true?”
“Of course, it’s true. A lot of people know about it now.”
“It’s definitely true. I was there when it happened. Yiye Zhiqiu even said he wants to be friends with Shura.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, I’m speechless. I need more words to express my amazement!”
“Is Yiye Zhiqiu scared?”
“He must be! With Shura’s extraordinary talent, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes the world’s top expert. Who wouldn’t be scared?”
“Shura is incredible! To think he could scare off someone as formidable as Yiye Zhiqiu as a newcomer!”
“Don’t think I don’t see through your flattery, trying to cozy up to Shura!”
“Shura’s talent is truly astounding. I feel those superpower universities should invite him to teach!”
“+1! If Shura were to become a teacher, I’d be the first to enroll!”
“Enroll? You think the school would even accept you? Any school with Shura would become a prestigious institution!”
“Right, with Shura’s guides, people would be fighting to get in!”
“Guys, check out the War Academy’s (the top superpower university) website. They just posted that if Shura wants to teach, they’ll make him a vice dean immediately!!”
“Whoa, that’s amazing!!”
“War Academy is smart with this move, but Shura is even more impressive!”
…
Online discussions were blazing hot.
Chen Ye couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction reading the praise.
When Chen Ye saw netizens mentioning that “Yiye Zhiqiu” had withdrawn the bounty on him and even wanted to be friends, Chen Ye was momentarily stunned before letting out a cold laugh.
He wasn’t stupid!
He could clearly see that this was just a delaying tactic from Yiye Zhiqiu!
If Yiye Zhiqiu found the chance, he would not hesitate to kill him.
Chen Ye sneered inwardly, not taking Yiye Zhiqiu’s compromise seriously.
If given the opportunity, he would still choose to eliminate Yiye Zhiqiu.
Next.
Chen Ye found the official Weibo of “War Academy” and indeed saw their public invitation to him…
With a shake of his head and a smile, Chen Ye closed Weibo and opened the Reincarnation Forum.
He had no interest in becoming a teacher.
In the Reincarnation Forum, his alias “Shura” was also trending.
Many people were speculating how long it would take for Shura to become the world’s top expert!
Some were even betting on whether Shura would achieve another “SSS” rating in his next dungeon.
Of course, such gambling-related posts were quickly deleted by the administrators.
Chen Ye stopped paying attention to those and went to the strategy section to check the official guide for the third-floor dungeon “One Piece.”
The third floor of the Reincarnation Tower had only one dungeon world.
**One Piece!!**
This was a large-scale dungeon world!
It would be divided into several stages, appearing in different parts of the Reincarnation Tower.
Other large-scale dungeon worlds included “Marvel,” “DC,” “Naruto,” “Transformers,” “Dragon Ball,” etc.!
The official guide was as follows:
“Before reading this guide, I hope everyone takes the third-floor dungeon seriously. Make sure you are well-prepared before entering!!!”
“The third-floor dungeon is not only a watershed of strength but also affects your future progress!”
“Why is the third-floor dungeon a watershed? Because in the third-floor ‘One Piece’ dungeon, completing the task gives you a chance to obtain the legendary special item: Devil Fruit!!”
“As for what a Devil Fruit is, I don’t need to explain, right? Eating it grants powerful abilities!”
“Please note, whether you can get the Devil Fruit as a reward after completing the dungeon depends entirely on your performance!!”
“The better you perform, the rarer the Devil Fruit you will receive!!”
“So, make sure you are well-prepared before entering!”
“In addition to the important Devil Fruit reward, the ‘One Piece’ dungeon also affects your future progress!”
“Since this is a large-scale dungeon world, it will appear in later stages of the Reincarnation Tower. If you are not prepared from the start and perform poorly, you might not be able to complete future tasks…”
“Now, let’s talk about the third-floor dungeon strategy!”
“The background of the ‘One Piece’ dungeon world is quite simple, with two major factions: Pirates VS Marines! Don’t worry about the Revolutionary Army for now.”
“Upon entering the dungeon world, you will face a faction choice: either become a Pirate or join the Marines!”
“This choice is mandatory by the system, and you only have 30 seconds to decide, so think it through before entering the dungeon!”
“No matter which faction you choose, the main tasks are quite similar!”
“Becoming a Pirate means you need to raise your bounty as high as possible within seven days, with a passing line of 30 million Berries!”
“As long as you reach the passing line, you won’t be eliminated when the seven-day task time ends.”
“Joining the Marines, you will also have seven days, but instead of raising a bounty, you need to earn reputation points.”
“Reputation points are positive fame and recognition!”
“The passing line for Marine tasks is 3000 reputation points. Of course, the higher your reputation, the better the rewards!”
“Whether you become a Pirate with a high bounty or a Marine collecting reputation points, the core of the task is to cause a stir!!”
“For Pirates, raising your bounty is easy, just take down some big names!”
“Of course, be careful not to hit an iron wall! The task time is seven days, and you can’t exit early! If you take down a big name but get caught within the seven days, you’re on your own!”
“For Marines, collecting reputation points isn’t difficult either, as there will be an assessment at Marine Headquarters within the seven days. Perform well, and earning 3000 reputation points should be achievable!”
—————————
Chapter 90
“Relatively speaking, becoming a pirate gives you a higher chance of getting a good rating!”
“Assassinating a small country’s king can definitely make your bounty skyrocket instantly!”
“But similarly, becoming a pirate is also more dangerous. You will be hunted by the Marines, troublesome bounty hunters, and even other pirates who might be after your head for the bounty!”
“Choosing the Marine faction is much safer. You just need to perform well in the Marine assessment.”
“If you’ve reached the third floor of the Reincarnation Tower, your overall strength rating is likely above D-level, right? Most Marine soldiers are ordinary people. As long as you perform well, you can definitely stand out and earn enough reputation!”
“So, will you choose the pirate faction or the Marine faction?”
“It’s up to you to decide!”
“My suggestion is, if you’re not confident in your strength, choose the Marine faction. At least your safety will be guaranteed. After all, your life is the most important!”
“One more important note!”
“In the third-floor dungeon ‘One Piece’ world, whatever identity you assume will remain until the next time you enter this dungeon!!”
“So, those planning to become pirates and cause big trouble, think carefully!!”
…
After reading the official guide, Chen Ye felt somewhat dissatisfied.
It wasn’t that the guide was poorly written.
On the contrary, it was quite good and would definitely help newcomers a lot!!
Chen Ye was dissatisfied because the guide only provided a general introduction, focusing entirely on the pros and cons of choosing between the pirate and Marine factions.
Chen Ye’s biggest advantage was knowing the plot.
This guide didn’t mention anything about the plot!!
Without knowing the timeline of events, Chen Ye couldn’t formulate his plan properly.
Of course.
This guide wasn’t completely useless to Chen Ye.
At least, after reading it, Chen Ye knew the task details.
With the task clear, Chen Ye’s first choice was the pirate faction!
The official guide had a point!
Becoming a pirate offered a greater chance for a high rating but was also more dangerous.
Knowing the plot, Chen Ye knew that the most prestigious group in the “One Piece” world was the Celestial Dragons!
If he killed a Celestial Dragon at the beginning, his bounty would undoubtedly explode, right?
However.
Chen Ye also knew that the Celestial Dragons, as top nobles in the “One Piece” world, were not easy to deal with.
If he did kill a Celestial Dragon, it would surely anger the World Government, and even the Marine Admirals would come after him personally.
Chen Ye was confident in his strength but not so arrogant to think he could take on a Marine Admiral!!
They were the top combat forces of the Marines!
Every Marine Admiral was extremely powerful!!
Therefore.
Chen Ye urgently needed to know the plot so he could use it to formulate an accurate plan!
Otherwise, even if he found and killed a Celestial Dragon within seven days, he wouldn’t escape the pursuit of the Marine Admirals.
…
Thinking this, Chen Ye continued searching the strategy section for non-official guides.
After going through several guides about the third-floor “One Piece” dungeon, he found very little information related to the plot.
Most people’s focus was on the faction choice between pirates and Marines.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn’t find any plot-related information.
Chen Ye felt disappointed.
Without knowing the plot, he would have to play it by ear once inside the dungeon.
This put him at a disadvantage!
Chen Ye’s first plan was to assassinate a Celestial Dragon, but he didn’t want to take such a risky action without confidence!
After some thought, Chen Ye decided to ask someone who had successfully cleared the dungeon.
And the only person he knew who fit this description was…
Murong Chuixue!
Chen Ye decided to visit the Reincarnation Space that evening and ask Murong Chuixue about the situation before making a decision…
…
At school.
Chen Ye spent another day idling around like a salted fish.
He had already decided not to go to college after graduating from high school.
It felt pointless!!
The only issue was explaining this to his father…
With seven days left until the college entrance exams, he decided to tough it out in school for this week!
At least he would get a high school diploma to give his father some comfort.
“Ring, ring!”
When the bell signaling the end of the last class rang.
Chen Ye was about to leave when he was blocked at the door again…
The person blocking him was none other than the school beauty, Wen Daxiaohua!
“Chen Ye, school is over. You should be free tonight, right?”
Hearing the straightforward question from Wen Daxiaohua, Chen Ye felt a bit exasperated.
Because.
The nearby guys were looking at Chen Ye with eyes full of jealousy, almost to the point of madness.
Even his good buddy Jiang Tao’s eyes were red with envy.
After some thought, Chen Ye shook his head and refused: “The college entrance exams are coming up. I need to study tonight, so I won’t be attending your birthday party. Happy birthday!”
It wasn’t that he was afraid of these guys causing trouble.
With his current strength, he could easily take on the entire school!
Chen Ye simply didn’t want to waste time at a birthday party!
He would rather get some sleep!
Resting and preparing for the upcoming dungeon was more important, wasn’t it?
Classic iron man thinking!!
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s refusal, everyone around was stunned!!!
Wen Daxiaohua personally invited him, not just once but twice, and Chen Ye refused??
They couldn’t imagine what was going on in Chen Ye’s mind.
Even Jiang Tao, seeing his friend refuse such a good opportunity, was shocked.
Although he liked to show off in front of Chen Ye and was jealous of Chen Ye’s good fortune, he was still a good friend.
Jiang Tao kicked Chen Ye and quickly tried to explain: “Wen Daxiaohua, don’t listen to him. This guy is probably nervous seeing you and said something foolish…”
“Old Chen, isn’t that right?”
Saying this, Jiang Tao stepped on Chen Ye’s foot, signaling him not to speak nonsense.
Chen Ye understood Jiang Tao’s intention, but he still didn’t want to go…
“I’m serious. I need to study for the exams! You guys got special admissions, but I can’t even get into a junior college?”
“Damn! Old Chen, you and your studying!” Jiang Tao got anxious: “Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been daydreaming all day. Do you really look like someone who’s about to study?”
Chen Ye felt a bit embarrassed but still didn’t change his mind.
Wen Xingyi nodded, saying, “I understand, your ‘studies’ are important.”
She said this calmly on the surface but was internally very stubborn!
Sometimes, the harder it is to get something, the more one wants it.
Chen Ye’s refusal triggered Wen Xingyi’s stubbornness.
Moreover.
She felt that Chen Ye seemed to be avoiding her!
This made her more suspicious of the connection between Chen Ye and Shura.
So she said, “Study hard for your exams. I’ll find you after they’re over!”
Leaving this sentence, Wen Xingyi ignored the shocked expressions around her and left calmly.
She was a girl who did whatever she wanted, not caring about others’ opinions.
Chen Ye: “…”
He felt that if he didn’t leave soon, he’d be killed by the looks.
Time to make an escape…
…
(The next chapter will open a new dungeon. You absolutely won’t guess how the protagonist will kill a Celestial Dragon and avoid the Marine Admiral’s pursuit!!)
I will guess it right away ! Haha
