Chapter 152: Chapter 151
(Author note: I definitely won't be taking people with me all the time. It's just that this dungeon is relatively simple for the main character, so I'm taking someone along this one time to earn rewards for a girl and prepare for the eighth-floor dungeon. No one else will be taken along afterward.)
After leaving the trading center, it was already past 1 AM.
The USB drive I got from Murong Yuling was very useful, containing a super virus capable of modifying other system programs—quite impressive!
"Great Asura…"
Murong Yuling had just started speaking when Chen Ye interrupted, "Just call me Asura."
"Alright, Asura… When are we going to tackle the dungeon?"
"Right now!" Chen Ye asked with a smile, "Do you have a reset card?"
Murong Chuixue immediately chimed in, "Don't worry about the reset card, Yuling. I'll have someone bring it over right away."
Chen Ye said, "Then I'll wait for you in the preparation room."
"Okay, Asura, I'll be there soon!"
…
After parting ways with the two sisters, Chen Ye headed straight to the Reincarnation Tower.
After using a dungeon cooldown reset card, Chen Ye took a step forward and reached the fifth floor of the Reincarnation Tower.
A sprite appeared out of thin air, coming to his side.
"Hello, honorable Reincarnator 'Asura,' how can I assist you?"
"I'm here to tackle the dungeon!" Chen Ye said.
"The dungeon world on this floor is '2012.' Are you sure you want to enter now?"
"Confirm!"
As soon as Chen Ye made his choice, he was instantly teleported into a white room.
At this moment, the white room was already crowded with people.
And more people kept being teleported in.
Everyone was in groups of three or five, chatting away, making the whole room quite noisy.
It was obvious that these people were here to tackle the '2012' dungeon.
'2012' is considered a major dungeon world, attracting quite a number of participants.
The countdown on the wall showed there were 26 minutes left before the dungeon started.
Chen Ye found a corner and sat down to wait.
"Whoa! It's the great Asura! The great Asura is here too!"
Just as he sat down, someone recognized him.
Immediately.
The entire preparation room turned their eyes towards Chen Ye.
Their gazes were fiery, as if they were looking at… their savior?
"Great Asura, can you take me through the dungeon? Name your price!"
"Daddy Asura, please take me along, I'll do anything!"
"Grandpa Asura, please be kind and take us through the dungeon!"
"Yes, this dungeon won't affect your rewards even if we form an alliance. Please take us along…"
"Brother Asura, I'm a girl, can you take me?"
"Whoa, girl, that's too much! I called him daddy, and you're calling him brother? Are you trying to be my aunt?"
"Dude, that's nothing. I called him grandpa. By that logic, I should call her great-aunt…"
…
Chen Ye: "…"
Chen Ye was speechless with these characters.
"I'm not interested in taking anyone. Please leave!"
Hearing this, everyone looked disappointed.
Some were still unwilling to give up and wanted to say something, but seeing Asura close his eyes, it was clear he didn't want to talk anymore.
At this moment.
A sprite-like girl was teleported in.
The girl scanned the preparation room and, upon spotting Chen Ye, immediately ran over.
"Asura… I'm here!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Asura stood up and said, "Come, let's form an alliance!"
Everyone: "…"
What the heck!
Didn't you just say you weren't interested in taking anyone?
How come a girl shows up, and your interest changes just like that?
That's heartbreaking…
"I remember her, she seems to be Murong Yuling!" someone whispered.
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood and looked at the two with strange eyes.
Confirmed!
These two definitely have something going on!!
Moments later.
"Attention Reincarnators, teleportation to the mission world will begin in 10 minutes…"
By now.
Almost 100 people had gathered in the preparation room.
In the last ten minutes of preparation time, people started gathering in groups, discussing their plans in low voices, clearly forming alliances.
Chen Ye stood with Murong Yuling.
Many eyes were still fixed on them.
Ignoring their gazes, Chen Ye said to Murong Yuling, "Once we enter the dungeon, follow my instructions!"
Murong Yuling nodded her head like a pecking chicken.
Even if the great Asura didn't say so, she would follow his lead.
Time passed by second by second…
The 10 minutes flew by.
The system's prompt sounded again:
"Teleportation countdown begins, 10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1!"
As the countdown ended.
Everyone in the white room was enveloped in red light and disappeared.
…
"The system is randomly generating your civilian identity…"
The system's prompt sounded in his ears.
The next moment.
Chen Ye regained his vision.
He found himself in a small roadside motel.
There was another person in the motel, a young, pretty woman with black hair and black eyes.
Almost immediately, Chen Ye knew that this woman was Murong Yuling.
This was the effect of forming an alliance, allowing allies to recognize each other at first glance.
"Yuling?"
"It's me!" Murong Yuling replied immediately.
At this moment.
The system prompted them again:
"Attention: Mission issued!"
"Main mission: Survive for at least 24 hours."
"Mission duration: Unlimited!"
"Note: The longer you survive, the higher the reward. Survive 1 day for an E-level rating. Survive 2 days for a D-level rating. Survive 4 days for a C-level rating. Survive 8 days for a B-level rating. Survive 16 days for an A-level rating. Survive 32 days for an S-level rating… and so on!"
"Note: You have 5 hours of preparation time, the disaster will occur in 5 hours."
…
As soon as the system's prompt ended, Chen Ye sprang into action.
"Follow me!"
Murong Yuling quickly followed.
Chen Ye left the motel and went to a public phone booth by the roadside, finding a map inside.
(Note: In 2012, smartphones had just started to become widespread, so public phone booths were still around!)
He and Murong Yuling were currently in Salt Lake City, not far from the soon-to-erupt Yellowstone Park volcano.
Chen Ye clearly remembered the plot. When the Yellowstone Park volcano erupts, it's utter chaos—ground collapsing, skyscrapers falling, the entire Salt Lake City sinking rapidly!
The system only gave five hours of preparation time, and he needed to leave this city quickly!!
In five hours, this place would become a death trap!
Anyone staying behind would die!!
