Chapter 2

When midnight struck, Chen Ye noticed that the crescent moon tattoo on his arm was glowing faintly red.

This meant that the Reincarnation Space had opened.

Chen Ye pressed firmly on the tattoo.

Five seconds later, a red light flashed, and he vanished from his room...

When Chen Ye regained his vision, he found himself standing in a vast plaza.

The plaza was enormous, seemingly endless.

By this time, many people had already gathered, and more were being transported in by red light, causing the crowd to grow quickly.

A holographic attribute panel appeared in front of Chen Ye:

**Name:** Asura 

**Reincarnation Number:** (Zone C) 90086 

**Physique:** 12 

**Spirit:** 14 

**Strength:** 9 

**Agility:** 11 

**Distributable Potential:** 0 

**Skills:** English (Proficient), Driving (Basic), Shooting (Expert) 

**Martial Arts:** None 

**Abilities:** None 

**Reincarnation Points:** 122 

**Overall Rating:** Below Standard

After reviewing his attribute panel, Chen Ye felt a bit frustrated.

"Asura" was not Chen Ye's real name. It was the alias chosen by the previous owner of this body.

The previous owner also designed the current appearance in the Reincarnation Space as a masked assassin to hide his true identity.

Chen Ye understood the purpose. In the Reincarnation Space, most people chose to hide their real identities because they were in competition with each other. Sometimes, entering the same instance might mean being in opposing factions, and it was common to make enemies. Thus, hiding one's real identity was advantageous.

Chen Ye had no issue with the fake identity created by the previous owner. What bothered him was how weak the attributes were, despite spending so much time in the Reincarnation Space!

(Average adult attributes were around 10.)

No abilities, no martial arts skills, just a few mediocre skills. The only decent skill was "Shooting," which was at the "Expert" level.

(Proficiency levels: Basic, Proficient, Expert, Master, Transcendent)

"What a waste!" Chen Ye sighed.

But Chen Ye wasn't too disappointed. He knew this was the reality for most people playing it safe in the safe zones. Safe zone instances were worlds without life-threatening danger and offered lower rewards. Moreover, there was a one-month cooldown period for completing safe zone instances, making it difficult to grow stronger in the safe zones.

The real place to become powerful was the "Reincarnation Tower" in the central area!

The Reincarnation Tower had 99 floors. Each floor was a dangerous world with constant threats, and the Reincarnation System issued extremely difficult tasks. Failure often meant being erased...

Note, the Reincarnation Space wasn't a game; dying in an instance meant real death.

So, despite the Reincarnation Tower's rich rewards and powerful abilities, most people didn't dare to challenge it.

Chen Ye looked towards the central area and saw a towering structure reaching into the clouds.

He recalled a legend: it was said that anyone who conquered all 99 floors of the Reincarnation Tower would become an all-powerful god.

No one knew where this legend came from, but people believed it. Those who survived the Reincarnation Tower were true powerhouses!

After a moment, Chen Ye looked away.

Although he knew the plots and had confidence in tackling the Reincarnation Tower, he decided to first complete a task in the safe zone to familiarize himself with the instance worlds. This wasn't out of fear but caution.

...

In the instance hall, Chen Ye found it crowded. The large hall was almost packed.

At this moment, a flying little fairy appeared out of thin air and approached him.

"Hello, Asura. How can I assist you?"

This little fairy was a creation of the Reincarnation Space, similar to artificial intelligence.

"I'm here to run an instance," Chen Ye said.

Based on his memory, the previous owner of this body last ran an instance a month and a half ago... The cooldown period was over.

"Alright, please select the instance world you wish to enter."

The little fairy waved its hand, and a holographic screen appeared in front of Chen Ye, displaying many familiar names:

"Crazy Stone," "The Pursuit of Happyness," "Struggle," "Hello Mr. Billionaire," "You Are the Apple of My Eye," "Infernal Affairs"...

When Chen Ye saw "Hello Mr. Billionaire" and "Infernal Affairs," his eyes gleamed.

Based on his predictions, the task in "Hello Mr. Billionaire" would likely be helping the protagonist Wang Duoyu spend ten billion yuan within a certain timeframe. The task in "Infernal Affairs" would definitely involve the two undercover protagonists.

These tasks might be challenging for others, but for Chen Ye, who knew the plots, they were very straightforward...

After some thought, Chen Ye chose "Infernal Affairs"!

According to the fairy, "Infernal Affairs" was rated as an orange instance, indicating a certain level of danger, hence higher rewards for completing tasks.

Most other instances were rated as green and had been cleared by others, offering minimal rewards.

"Hello, Asura. You have selected the 'Infernal Affairs' instance. Do you confirm?"

"Yes!"

As soon as he spoke, the instance hall around Chen Ye dissolved like water, and the scenery changed in an instant.

He found himself in a pure white room with five other people.

Seeing the other five, Chen Ye's eyes flickered.

These were the fellow reincarnators who would join him in the "Infernal Affairs" instance.

"Reincarnators, you have five minutes to prepare. The task world transmission will begin in five minutes," announced the system.

Everyone remained silent, observing each other. No one was a complete novice and knew they might become competitors in the instance.

After a minute of silence, a stylish young man couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Hello, everyone. My name is 'Crow,' and my overall strength rating is E-level!"

Hearing this, many looked at Crow with surprise. Achieving an E-level rating in the safe zone was no small feat.

Everyone stayed silent, watching this Mr. Crow.

Crow continued, "I want to ask if anyone is interested in forming an alliance?"

No one responded.

Crow smiled and said, "To show my sincerity, I'll share some information I have."

"I've previously run the 'Infernal Affairs' instance. The reason no one has cleared it is due to the system's extremely difficult task."

"This world has two factions: the police and the triads. Both have moles, and our task is to find the moles!"

Many seemed thoughtful upon hearing this.

Chen Ye's eyes flashed, and his heart pounded. If what Crow said was true, the "Infernal Affairs" instance task would be incredibly easy for Chen Ye!

Because he knew who the moles were!!

"It sounds simple, but we only have 72 hours!" Crow continued. "Catching a cunning mole in three days is no easy feat. And the system's grading is based on speed. To get an A-grade, it must be done within 24 hours, which is almost impossible..."

"I have a few suspects but need manpower to investigate. Is anyone willing to join me?"

Finally, someone showed interest.

"Hello, Mr. Crow," a young boy in anime attire asked. "If we form an alliance, how will the rewards be distributed?"

Crow looked at the boy and smiled, "Bro, you're new, right? Forming an alliance requires a pact, and the system will evenly distribute the rewards among the pact members... Any other questions?"

The boy shook his head, "No, I'd like to join. Please guide me, Mr. Crow."

Crow smiled and nodded, then looked at the others, "Anyone else interested?"

"Me!"

"Count me in!"

Three more people agreed to join Crow.

Including Crow, that made four. Only Chen Ye and a masked girl remained silent.

"Would you two consider joining?"

Chen Ye just shook his head.

The masked girl simply said, "Not interested."

Crow didn't press, smiling slightly and gathering his three allies.

"Choose the 'triad' faction when we enter the instance."

The other three nodded.

At this moment, the five minutes were up.

The system's prompt sounded:

"Beginning transmission countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"

The countdown ended.

Whoosh!

The white room vanished, and Chen Ye, along with the others, was enveloped in a red glow, being transported away.
