Chapter 19: Chapter 18
"What do you want to ask?"
Ake looked at Chen Ye warily.
Chen Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not an unreasonable request. I just want you to answer one question."
"What question?"
"Listen carefully. You can only answer 'yes' or 'no'... Does your family know that you're an idiot?"
Ake instinctively responded, "No!"
Then quickly corrected herself, "Wait... I'm not an idiot!!"
This girl was smart. As soon as she answered, she realized she'd been tricked.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Ye burst into laughter.
Ever since he found out that Ake, the girl he was trading with, was his school's beauty queen Wen Xingyi, he'd been planning this prank.
Teasing this girl was partly for fun.
But the other half was to relax himself.
After the trade, Chen Ye was going to challenge the Tower of Reincarnation.
With its myriad dangers, the Tower of Reincarnation was a life-or-death gamble for Chen Ye, naturally making him anxious.
Remaining constantly anxious wasn't good.
So, Chen Ye decided to tease Wen Xingyi a bit to ease his nerves...
Yes!
Finding joy in someone else's discomfort felt quite satisfying!
"Is this amusing to you?"
Seeing Chen Ye laugh heartily, Ake snorted, "Asura, how can you be so childish?"
Chen Ye shrugged indifferently.
He didn't care what Ake thought of him.
Having achieved his goal of relaxing, Chen Ye said, "Let's start the transaction."
Ake, with a cold expression, opened her personal storage and took out a box of gold bars.
"Here are the gold bars, with transaction fees already deducted by the Reincarnation System. Please count them."
Looking at the gold bars shimmering before him, Chen Ye calmly smiled and said, "No need, I trust you."
"Just a reminder, you can't store real-world items in the Reincarnation Space. You must take these gold bars out within three hours, or they will be absorbed by the space," Ake said.
Chen Ye wasn't aware of this, so he nodded, "Thanks for the reminder."
"You've taken the gold bars. Where's the 'Infernal Affairs' dungeon guide?"
Ake reminded him again, "You better not give me a fake guide. I've enlisted the Reincarnation System to arbitrate. If your information is worthless, you'll have to return all my gold bars and cover the 30% fee."
Chen Ye smiled and nodded, "So should I tell you directly or write it down?"
"Just tell me directly."
"Alright, listen carefully..."
Chen Ye cleared his throat and began, "The 'Infernal Affairs' dungeon world centers around the confrontation between the police and the drug cartel. Both sides have moles in the enemy camp. On the police side, Inspector Liu Jianming and Agent Lin Guoping are the moles. In the cartel, Chen Yongren is the undercover cop..."
He relayed all the information he knew in one breath.
Ake's eyes sparkled with interest as she listened, staring at Chen Ye in amazement, "Asura, how did you know all this?"
Chen Ye had already prepared a lie, "I've been to the 'Infernal Affairs' dungeon seven times. I gathered this information through experience."
Hearing this, Ake looked at Chen Ye with newfound respect.
To clear a dungeon world seven times, his perseverance was truly formidable!!
"I want to know, last time in the 'Infernal Affairs' dungeon, what did you say to Superintendent Huang that made him believe you and start suspecting Liu Jianming and Lin Guoping?"
"I told Superintendent Huang about the secret signal between Liu Jianming and Han Chen. Whenever Liu Jianming said, 'Dad, I can't come home for dinner tonight,' he was alerting Han Chen. But the key was I also tipped Huang off about the location of a deal between Han Chen and the Tai gang: Longyu Beach!!"
"I pretended to tell Huang that I saw Liu Jianming and Han Chen meeting last night..."
After finishing, Chen Ye asked, "Any more questions?"
Ake's eyes glinted as she asked, "So, if I follow your steps, I can get an 'SSS' perfect rating on the task?"
Chen Ye noncommittally replied, "That's not guaranteed. It depends on your performance. If your acting isn't convincing enough for Superintendent Huang, you might not succeed."
Ake nodded and gave a final reminder:
"Asura, remember our agreement. You cannot disclose any information about the 'Infernal Affairs' dungeon to anyone else for the next month!"
"No problem!"
With that, their transaction was complete.
