After using the instance cooldown refresh card, Chen Ye stepped through the gates of the Reincarnation Tower.
He then arrived on the 12th floor of the Reincarnation Tower.
Standing high, you see far!
From the balcony, the entire view of District C was laid out before him.
A small sprite appeared out of nowhere and floated beside Chen Ye.
"Hello, respected Reincarnator 'Shura.' How may I assist you?"
"I'm here to run an instance!" Chen Ye replied.
"The instance world on this floor is *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. Are you sure you want to enter now?"
"Confirmed!"
"Alright, please wait a moment."
The sprite transported Chen Ye to a white preparation room.
At this moment, the white room was already filled with quite a few Reincarnators, at least fifty to sixty people.
After all, this was a major instance, and it was the only choice on this floor.
However, this was still significantly fewer than the hundreds of participants in the first phase of *Avengers*.
The first phase of *Avengers* was on the 6th floor.
Now they were on the 12th floor!
The 10th-floor major instance *Final Destination* had stopped many people in their tracks, so there weren't that many Reincarnators who could reach beyond the 10th floor.
Chen Ye's appearance initially didn't attract much attention from the Reincarnators in the preparation room.
"It's Shura!"
However, when someone recognized him and called out his name, the Reincarnators in the preparation room were taken aback.
"It's really Shura..."
"Didn't this guy just finish running the *Transformers* instance? Why is he back for another instance so soon? Doesn't he ever rest?"
"What should we do now?"
"Let's go and run the next round."
Immediately, quite a few Reincarnators changed their expressions and left without hesitation.
These Reincarnators were relatively strong and confident in their abilities, believing they could achieve high ratings.
But no matter how confident they were, they didn't think they could compete with Shura, so they promptly chose to leave.
They decisively avoided Shura.
In a blink of an eye.
Half of the Reincarnators in the preparation room had left.
The remaining Reincarnators were engaged in discussions.
"They all left. Should we leave too?"
"Why leave? Lord Shura is someone who can achieve a Super God rating. If we're lucky and have the same mission as him, we could win effortlessly!"
"But what if we aren't that lucky?"
"It's a gamble, really. Who can you blame for bad luck?"
"That's right, I'm taking this gamble too. My foundation is too weak; my overall strength rating just barely reached B-level. Running instances is getting harder and harder. I need to take this chance, or I won't be able to clear many more floors."
"Listening to you all, I think I'll stay too…"
…
Chen Ye: "..."
He listened to their conversations, feeling a bit speechless.
He hadn't expected these people to take such a chance, gambling on whether their mission would be the same as his.
Given the nature of the Reincarnation System, the likelihood of having the same mission in such an instance should be low...
It had to be said.
Reincarnators who managed to clear the 10th-floor instance, even if their strength was a bit lacking, certainly weren't short on determination and courage. Each one was fearless!
At this moment, there were still over twenty Reincarnators left in the room.
Of course, not everyone stayed to gamble on luck; some believed there were loopholes to exploit.
Even Shura wasn't invincible in the *Avengers* instance.
"Attention all Reincarnators: the task world transmission will begin in 10 minutes…"
The system's prompt sounded.
From this point on, Reincarnators in the preparation room could no longer leave.
In other words, there were a little over twenty Reincarnators who came to run the *Avengers: Age of Ultron* instance this time…
Next.
Everyone fell silent, waiting for the time to run out and the instance to begin.
In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes passed.
The system prompt sounded again:
"Starting transmission countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"
When the countdown ended.
Everyone in the preparation room was enveloped in a red light and disappeared.
...
[Please note, the identity information you will use this time will continue from your identity in the previous *Avengers* instance…]
With the system's prompt over, Chen Ye's vision returned.
He found himself in a room.
The room was very basic, with just a bed and a television. It looked like a cheap motel.
· ·············
Then, Chen Ye went to the bathroom.
Looking into the mirror, Chen Ye saw that his current appearance was almost identical to the last time he came to the *Avengers* instance.
"As expected of a major instance, continuing the previous identity."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Before Chen Ye could open it, the door was pushed open directly.
A plump white woman walked in.
"Hey, boy! This ain't a shelter. You already owe three days' worth of room fees. If you don't pay today, pack up and get out of here!"
Chen Ye was speechless and immediately pulled out a black card to pay.
…
He was puzzled. He had just entered the instance; how could he already owe three days' rent?
But it didn't matter.
Three days' rent was only 36 dollars.
And his black card had a limit of one billion, which he would never run out of.
The black card, in every instance set in a modern background, had a limit of one billion. Once it was used up, the next instance would automatically replenish it to the full amount—quite a magical item.
Just after leaving the motel, Chen Ye received a mission prompt:
[Attention: Main Mission Issued!]
[Main Mission: Establish a Faction.]
[Mission Description: In the current instance world, establish a faction of your own with at least 10 members.]
[Mission Time: 30 days.]
[Mission Failure: Eradication.]
[Note: Do not disclose the existence of the Reincarnation Space to others; violators will be erased.]
[Tip: To prevent your memories from being probed by others, the system has added protection methods for you. No one can access your memories.]
[Tip: To better help you complete your mission, the system has granted you 10 temporary loyalty contracts. Anyone who swears allegiance to you will remain absolutely loyal.]
[Tip: During the mission period, the stronger your subordinates, the higher your mission rating.]
...
Hearing the system prompts, Chen Ye was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected his mission to be to establish a faction?
Was the system trying to make him a big boss?
...
