Chapter 227

Night fell.

Chen Ye stayed in his new house, but since the internet hadn't been set up yet, he could only use his phone for now.

He turned on his phone and logged into the network.

Online, countless netizens were discussing one topic: the Blacklight Virus!

It turned out that this morning, the authorities had already issued a statement saying that foreign terrorists had spread the Blacklight Virus within the country, causing chaos in 17 cities and resulting in the deaths of over ten thousand people!

Fortunately, the chaos had been brought under control.

As soon as the news broke, the entire internet was shocked.

Countless netizens were discussing and condemning the terrorist organization.

At the same time, they were analyzing the impact this event might have on human survival.

Because while the situation was under control domestically, it wasn't the case abroad. Many already chaotic small countries had been completely paralyzed by this event, turning into playgrounds for zombies.

Luckily, the Blacklight Virus wasn't highly contagious; it couldn't be transmitted through air or water. Otherwise, there would have been a major global biochemical crisis.

Chen Ye only glanced at the heated online discussions before moving on. 

He was less concerned about the impact of the Blacklight Virus and more interested in the strategy guide for the ninth floor of the Reincarnation Tower.

The Blacklight Virus was naturally something for the bigwigs to worry about.

For Chen Ye, the most important thing right now was to enhance his strength!

Opening the Reincarnation Forum, Chen Ye skipped the general discussions and went straight to the strategy section.

But…

He couldn't find any official strategy guide for the ninth floor of the Reincarnation Tower.

He even found the strategy for the tenth floor, which was a major assessment instance called "Final Destination," but there was nothing for the ninth floor.

Chen Ye found this strange!

He then searched for "Reincarnation Tower ninth floor instance" in the search bar, only to find some posts by netizens who had shared their own theories and speculations.

After reading the posts, Chen Ye finally understood what was going on.

The ninth floor of the Reincarnation Tower was a competitive instance, where Reincarnators from different national regions would compete in a single instance for victory.

The instance was called "Three Kingdoms Showdown," but no one knew the details of the instance.

This was because everyone who had cleared the instance would automatically forget the process after leaving…

So no strategy had ever been circulated.

This was likely the Reincarnation System's protection mechanism for the "Three Kingdoms Showdown" instance.

If everyone knew how to play, what would be the point of the showdown?

…

Chen Ye turned off his phone.

He frowned.

He hadn't expected that there would be such a competitive instance.

Now, with no one remembering the strategy, it meant he would have to figure it out on his own?

But Chen Ye wasn't too worried.

With his current strength, completing the task wouldn't be difficult.

It was just that without any pre-knowledge of the plot, he couldn't prepare specifically for it.

At midnight.

Chen Ye arrived at the Reincarnation Space right on time.

[You have a new communication message. 'Murong Chuexue' is inviting you to a video call. Please respond promptly.]

Shortly after entering the Reincarnation Space, Chen Ye received a system notification.

He chose to accept.

In the 3D video, Murong Chuexue's graceful figure appeared.

"Shura, come have some tea!"

Chen Ye knew that Murong Chuexue must have something to discuss, so he agreed, "Sure!"

Soon after.

The two met in a private room at a teahouse.

"Shura!"

Seeing Chen Ye enter, Murong Chuexue immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations on earning another Supernatural rating in the 'A Chinese Ghost Story' instance."

"Shura, you're truly amazing, managing to accumulate so much Yin energy."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "I broke into the underworld. There were too many ghosts there; I couldn't kill them all!"

"Oh? I see..."

Murong Chuexue's eyes brightened, but she wisely didn't press further.

This was related to Shura's strategy. It was great if Shura was willing to share, but if not, she couldn't force him.

"By the way, Shura, did you hear about the mysterious expert who appeared in AH City yesterday at dawn and took care of a Blacklight Virus Adaptor..."

Murong Chuexue suddenly asked, "Do you know anything about that?"

"That was me!" 

Chen Ye admitted openly!

There was nothing to hide about this.

With his current strength, there was no need to keep his true identity as tightly guarded as before.

"So it really was you..."

Murong Chuexue said, "There are only so many A-level experts in the country. As soon as it was confirmed that none of them were involved, it was easy to guess that it was you. Shura, on behalf of the military, thank you for your help. That Adaptor caused quite a bit of trouble..."

Chen Ye waved his hand, "It was just a small effort. After all, I'm also from Huaxia. Seeing a foreigner causing trouble on our turf, I had to step in and teach him a lesson!"

Murong Chuexue laughed at his words, "Since it's confirmed that it was you, I'll issue the order to stop the investigation when I get back."

Her words were also a gesture of goodwill toward Chen Ye.

It meant that if Chen Ye didn't want to reveal his true identity, they wouldn't pursue the investigation further.

Chen Ye smiled, "What are we drinking? It's on me!"

"Alright, since you're such a big spender, I won't hold back!"

They ordered two cups of Tranquility Tea and began drinking slowly.

The tea was very effective, often calming the mind and preventing Reincarnators from developing extreme psychological tendencies.

Reincarnators in the Reincarnation Tower often faced life-and-death situations, and over time, it was easy for them to develop extreme psychological conditions.

Such as bloodthirstiness, insanity, and so on!

The appearance of Tranquility Tea was likely to specifically treat the psychological trauma of Reincarnators.

While sipping her tea, Murong Chuexue suddenly asked, "Shura, you're about to attempt the ninth-floor instance in the Reincarnation Tower, right?"

Chen Ye nodded, "I'll be going tonight at 5.0!"

"You're really pushing yourself, Shura!"

Murong Chuexue sighed, then said seriously, "Shura, I've received information that several foreign forces are planning to ambush you in the ninth-floor instance!"

"Oh?"

A cold glint flashed in Chen Ye's eyes, but he remained fearless, "Then let them come!"

"Shura, there's no strategy information online for the ninth-floor instance because everyone who participates in the ninth-floor instance loses their memory of it afterward. However, I have managed to gather some information about the ninth-floor instance."

Murong Chuexue continued, "Let me tell you about it. I hope it will help you!"
