Chapter 182

According to the official strategy guide, the seventh floor of the Reincarnation Tower has two instances.

One is the "Normal" level instance *Kung Fu Hustle*, and the other is the "Hard" level instance *The Ring*!

When Chen Ye saw these two instance worlds, he was momentarily taken aback.

He was very familiar with both of them.

Without much hesitation, Chen Ye decided on his target for this mission: *Kung Fu Hustle*!

Although the rewards for a "Normal" level instance would undoubtedly be lower, the moment he saw the *Kung Fu Hustle* instance, Chen Ye knew his focus was no longer just on the rewards...

He then opened the official strategy guide:

"The seventh floor of the Reincarnation Tower offers two choices: the 'Normal' level instance *Kung Fu Hustle* and the 'Hard' level instance *The Ring*!"

"First, let's talk about the hard instance *The Ring*. In my opinion, the difficulty of this instance is no less than that of *The Eternal Evil of Asia*. If you're not mentally strong, don't choose this instance..."

"The task in this instance is survival. Once inside, you'll find an old television, an outdated VCR, and a videotape in front of you. You must watch the videotape as soon as possible, or the system will erase you!"

"But once you watch the tape, you'll be cursed. A vengeful spirit named Sadako will be after you..."

At this point, Chen Ye skipped the strategy guide for *The Ring* and moved on to the *Kung Fu Hustle* guide.

In fact.

Chen Ye knew the *Kung Fu Hustle* world better than anyone. He was only looking at the official guide to see if the system had altered the plot...

"Now that we've covered *The Ring*, let's talk about the 'Normal' level instance *Kung Fu Hustle*."

"Compared to the horror of *The Ring*, the *Kung Fu Hustle* world is also quite dangerous, with many martial arts masters. Be cautious if you encounter them..."

"The world in this instance is one where industrialization is just beginning. Technology is very backward, similar to our world about eighty years ago!"

"The mission in this instance revolves around fame, which is your renown. Note, this is not reputation points, so it doesn't matter if it's good or bad fame—as long as your name becomes known, you'll complete the mission!"

"The mission requirement is to earn at least 10,000 fame points within a month!"

"Based on the calculations of various experts, it seems that one person equals one fame point... In other words, your name needs to be known by at least 10,000 people."

"Upon entering the instance, all Reincarnators will start in a place called Dong Guang, where there's a massive organization known as the 'Axe Gang'!"

"It's recommended to join the Axe Gang. Given that those of you reaching the seventh floor likely have a C-level overall strength rating, it shouldn't be hard to join the gang with your skills."

"How do you earn fame points? Of course, by performing well and helping the Axe Gang take over more territory, making sure your name is known among the gang members!"

"Pay attention, here's the key point... The Axe Gang has grand ambitions and wants to control all of Dong Guang, but there's a place called 'Pig Sty Alley' that's extremely dangerous, filled with masters. Do not go there."

"If you're unfortunately sent to Pig Sty Alley by the gang leader, my personal advice is to be polite when you get there. Don't pick on anyone, and find a way to get out as quickly as possible!"

"Here's a rundown of the masters in Pig Sty Alley!"

"The strong man carrying sandbags all day is named Coolie Qiang. His ultimate move is the Twelve Kicks of Tan Leg, and one kick can shatter a concrete wall!"

"The sleazy old man in the tailor shop is a master of Iron Fist, with unmatched punching power!"

"The middle-aged man making breakfast is a master of the Eight Trigram Staff, capable of wielding his staff with unparalleled skill!"

"Based on assessments by many veterans, these three have an overall strength close to C-level, possibly nearing B-level!"

"In addition to these three, Pig Sty Alley has a married couple who are even more formidable—Landlord and Landlady. One is a Taichi master, the other a master of the Sonic Boom technique. Their strength is definitely beyond B-level!"

"As for whether there are any other masters, that's unknown for now..."

"Once again, a warning: unless you're an overwhelmingly powerful master, do not, I repeat, do not show off in Pig Sty Alley, or you might meet a tragic end!"

...

After reading the official strategy guide, Chen Ye was slightly surprised.

The guide didn't mention the "Beast" Killer Huoyun Evil God or the exceptionally gifted protagonist "Sing."

"Could it be because the mission time is only one month, so these two don't have a chance to appear?"

With this thought, a gleam flashed in Chen Ye's eyes.

Soon, a plan started to take shape in his mind...

Choosing the *Kung Fu Hustle* instance wasn't about the rewards for Chen Ye.

If it were, he would have picked the more challenging *The Ring*!

Because the higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards.

For this instance, Chen Ye's primary target was that beggar, and the secondary target was sing (the protagonist name)—or more precisely, the *Buddha's Palm* technique that Sing possessed!!

Luckily, he earned a "Temporary Comprehension Card" in last night's instance.

This card would come in handy tonight...

Next.

Chen Ye closed his phone, took out some paper and a pen, and started drawing.

That's right—he was practicing drawing.

Using his memory, Chen Ye was drawing a character that resembled a beggar.

At first, the drawings were pretty ugly, but after constant practice, the beggar he was sketching began to look more and more like the real thing.

By the afternoon, Chen Ye had gone through dozens of sheets of paper.

And his beggar drawing was looking more and more lifelike.

Upon closer inspection, this beggar bore a striking resemblance to the one from *Kung Fu Hustle*—the one who tricked young Sing into buying the *Buddha's Palm* manual...

...

That night.

At exactly midnight.

Chen Ye appeared promptly in the Reincarnation Space...
