Chapter 185: Chapter 184
"Shura, I actually envy you," Murong said with a hint of admiration. "The higher you climb in the Reincarnation Tower, the harder the missions become. If your strength can't keep up, there's no way to clear the instances, which is why so many Reincarnators get stuck at a certain level, too afraid to try moving forward."
She continued, "The foundation of every Reincarnator is really important. And when it comes to foundations, Shura, no one in the entire Reincarnation Space can compare to you."
"Shura, I hope you keep pushing forward and reach heights that none of us could ever dream of."
...
After parting ways with Murong Chuxue, Chen Ye made his way to his personal storage.
"System, can damaged special items be repaired?" Chen Ye asked.
The system responded affirmatively, "Yes, they can."
He pointed to the Mark VII suit and inquired, "What would it take to repair this?"
In the *Avengers* instance, Chen Ye had taken a hit from a Chitauri spaceship's energy cannon in the final moments, causing significant damage to the suit.
It was still functional, but much more susceptible to damage.
"Repairing a special item requires 500 Reincarnation Points each time," the system replied, causing Chen Ye to exhale in relief.
Five hundred points wasn't too expensive.
He could use the Mark VII suit a few more times before considering repairs.
Afterward, Chen Ye made a quick visit to his personal instance, *The Great Wall*, since it had been a few days since he checked in on his 'Little Lin'. After spending some time with her, Chen Ye headed straight for the Reincarnation Tower.
It was currently 1:30 AM.
Murong Chuxue's friend had transferred three Instance Cooldown Refresh Cards to him yesterday, and Chen Ye still had two left.
Standing at the entrance of the Reincarnation Tower, Chen Ye didn't hesitate to use one of the Instance Cooldown Refresh Cards.
In a single stride, he made his way to the seventh floor.
A tiny sprite appeared out of nowhere and floated beside him.
"Hello, esteemed Reincarnator 'Shura,' how can I assist you?" the sprite asked.
"I'm here to start an instance!" Chen Ye replied.
"Very well, please select the instance world you wish to enter."
With a wave of its hand, a holographic screen appeared in front of Chen Ye, displaying two instance worlds:
*Kung Fu Hustle* (Normal)
*The Ring* (Hard)
Chen Ye's target was clear, and he selected *Kung Fu Hustle* without hesitation.
Once the selection was made, he was immediately transported to a white room.
The room wasn't crowded—there were only about a dozen people.
When the others noticed Chen Ye's arrival, many of them were visibly surprised.
In the Reincarnation Space, few people didn't recognize Shura's masked assassin appearance by now.
"Whoa, it's Shura!"
"What's going on? Why would Shura come to clear a normal difficulty instance? Shouldn't he be tackling the harder one?"
"Maybe even Shura isn't confident about the harder instance..."
"Shura doing a normal instance? That doesn't seem like him."
"Damn, with Shura here, we're definitely going to be overshadowed... Should we back out? What do you think?"
"I'm not backing out. I need to reach a B-level rating as soon as possible so my father can get better treatment."
"I'm thinking of backing out. With Shura here, getting fame points will be tough."
"Don't be too hasty! Running an instance with Shura might not be a bad thing. If the big shot gets the main rewards, we might still pick up some leftovers. *Kung Fu Hustle* is rarely completed, especially the part involving Pig Sty Alley—Shura might be able to do it!"
"Exactly! I heard that during last night's *Avengers* instance, Shura drew so much Chitauri fire that a lot of Reincarnators got lucky. Not only were there several A-level ratings, but two people even scored S-level ratings!"
"Really? If that's the case, then I'm staying!"
"Yeah, I'm sticking around. As long as we don't mess with Shura, completing the mission should be easy."
As soon as they saw Chen Ye, the group started chattering among themselves, clearly surprised to see such a powerful figure taking on a normal difficulty instance.
A few people eventually decided to leave, planning to return for the next round to avoid clashing with Shura.
Chen Ye, with his keen hearing, overheard their conversation. They had been planning to assassinate the leader of the Axe Gang at the end of the mission to gain a massive amount of fame. But with his arrival, they felt the difficulty of their plan had increased, so they chose to withdraw.
Chen Ye was a bit speechless.
Was his reputation really that intimidating now?
Not bothering with the others, Chen Ye found a spot to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, the countdown was down to the last ten minutes.
"Attention, Reincarnators: The mission world transfer will begin in 10 minutes..."
By this time, there were twelve people left in the preparation room, including Chen Ye.
With the last 10 minutes ticking down, no more participants could join, and those inside couldn't leave.
So, this group of twelve would be heading into the *Kung Fu Hustle* instance together.
Ten minutes flew by quickly.
The system's voice echoed again:
"Mission transfer countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"
As the countdown ended, everyone in the white room was enveloped in a red light and vanished.
...
"Fresh buns! Get your fresh meat buns!"
"Ancestral herbal remedy—apply it to injuries and feel better instantly. Come and buy!"
"Fortune-telling and divination—normally a hundred bucks, today only ten! If it's not accurate, it's free!"
When Chen Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a bustling street.
Around him were countless vendors and shops, all styled in a nostalgic, old-fashioned way. The people walking around were mostly dressed in clothing reminiscent of the Republic of China era.
The air was filled with the shouts of vendors hawking their goods.
Many men in long gowns were energetically pulling rickshaws up and down the street.
In the rickshaws, you could occasionally see people in tailcoats and top hats, likely Westerners.
Taking in his surroundings, Chen Ye couldn't help but smile.
Experiencing different worlds was one of the perks of the Reincarnation Space.
