Chapter 182: Chapter 181
That's right!
The theme of this high-level meeting was to discuss Chen Ye, also known as Shura.
"This man is rising too quickly. He has already become a threat to us and must be stopped as soon as possible!" the President began, setting the tone for the meeting.
"Does the Intelligence Bureau have any updates?" the President asked.
The Director of the Intelligence Bureau replied awkwardly, "Not yet, sir. He's been too low-profile in real life. We just need a little more time..."
Hearing this, the President was clearly displeased.
A senator couldn't help but scoff, "If we give you more time, Shura will become unstoppable!"
The Director of the Intelligence Bureau didn't argue; he had no grounds to. The President had already instructed him to find Shura's real identity, and he had made no progress. Naturally, he couldn't refute others.
"Why can't we try to recruit him?" someone asked.
"We've already tried, but he turned us down!"
"Maybe we didn't offer enough? I find it hard to believe anyone wouldn't be tempted by the right price!"
"We shouldn't get our hopes up. According to our intel, Shura prefers to work alone and isn't interested in joining any organizations!"
"I heard he partnered with someone yesterday? Maybe we could target that person?"
"No way! The person Shura helped is related to that woman who's second only to Adam. If we touch her, we could spark a war among the Reincarnators!"
...
The room buzzed with discussions on how to deal with Shura.
Seeing that everyone was going in circles without coming up with a solid plan, the President couldn't help but say, "Gentlemen, please use the same cleverness you do when making money. If we don't stop Shura, he's going to become a real threat to us!"
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but roll their eyes.
That's a bit too blunt, isn't it? Sure, they're all about making money, but you don't just say it out loud!
At this point, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau suddenly spoke up, "Sir, my informant tells me that Shura has been asking that woman to help him buy up a lot of instance cooldown refresh cards. He wants to run instances every day. Maybe we can stop him that way!"
"How would we do that?"
"Simple, we send our people to District C and start buying up all the instance cooldown refresh cards. We create obstacles for his operation, maybe even drive up the prices to make it harder for him to buy them! This won't stop his rise entirely, but it could slow him down."
Everyone's eyes lit up at this suggestion.
The President nodded slightly and said, "That's a good plan. Implement it as soon as possible!"
So far, this was the only plan that could have any impact on Shura.
The rules of the Reincarnation Space were too restrictive—if you wanted to kill someone, it had to be within an instance.
And high-level Reincarnators couldn't enter low-level instances again!
In other words, even if Adam wanted to kill the threat, he wouldn't be able to enter the seventh-floor instance.
As for Reincarnators at the same level, who among them could match Shura?
After a bit more discussion, the meeting adjourned.
However, the President asked Adam to stay behind and brought him to the study in the White House.
"General Will, please have a seat."
In the study, the President was very polite.
"Mr. President, what can I do for you?" Adam asked as he sat down.
"It's like this..." the President began, "I've heard that you're planning to take on the challenge of the 31st floor of the Reincarnation Tower?"
Adam nodded, "Yes."
The President asked with concern, "Are you confident? If you're not, there's no need to rush. Will, you should know what your existence means."
Adam nodded again and said, "Rest assured, Mr. President. I wouldn't act rashly if I wasn't confident."
"Good! Please be careful."
Adam nodded once more, "If there's nothing else, sir, I'll take my leave."
"Alright, see you next time."
...
As Adam left the President's study, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
He wasn't an idiot—he knew that the President's concern was just a front. In reality, the President was afraid of Adam growing too strong and becoming uncontrollable...
Adam sneered inwardly. He knew that his increasing power was starting to scare these politicians!
But these politicians wouldn't be able to stop him from getting stronger!!
He needed to clear the 33rd-floor instance as soon as possible and gain access to the Reincarnation Tower's authority.
Once he did, he could become a true "god" and trample these politicians underfoot!
...
Morning.
Chen Ye was woken up by his father.
"Xiao Ye, it's already eight o'clock. Why aren't you at school yet?"
"I overslept!"
Chen Ye replied casually, then noticed his father's tired face and asked, "What's going on? Haven't you resigned yet?"
"Almost..." His father chuckled and said, "The boss hasn't found anyone to replace me yet, so I'm sticking around for a few more days."
Hearing this, Chen Ye shook his head in silence.
"I'm heading to school now!"
Everyone makes their own choices.
He had talked to his father about this several times, even giving him a million yuan, but his father was still so stubborn, so Chen Ye decided not to interfere anymore.
After grabbing a quick breakfast on the way, Chen Ye slowly made his way to school.
In truth.
He was itching to test the power of Thor's Hammer...
But that thing makes too much noise, so after thinking it over, Chen Ye decided against it.
By the time Chen Ye arrived at school, it was already 9 AM, and he was clearly late.
Luckily, with only four days left until the college entrance exam, this was the final review stage, and the teachers weren't strict about attendance.
In the classroom, many students were still talking about Shura's achievements from last night.
Chen Ye just smiled and didn't pay much attention.
Hearing praise once or twice is satisfying, but after a while, it loses its charm.
Jiang Tao, the chubby kid, didn't come to school today. Chen Ye wondered where he was.
So, Chen Ye took out his phone and started browsing the internet.
As expected, Shura's name was all over the web again.
Many netizens were commenting on how Shura had managed to achieve three SSS ratings in one night, saying that he had taken the game to a whole new level!
Naturally, there was no shortage of praise.
Chen Ye skimmed through it and then went directly to the Reincarnation Forum to open the strategy section.
He then found the strategy guide for the seventh floor of the Reincarnation Tower.
The seventh floor had two instances.
When Chen Ye saw what they were, he was stunned!
