Chapter 90

Victoria Harbour, the morning sea breeze was cool and damp.

Ye Yun, Vanessa, Zhang Yusheng, and Zhang Yulian stood quietly, gazing at the sea and the sky.

"…Cang Xing was right, there is indeed no very specific and clear method for reincarnation yet, but it’s not just about enhancing one’s strength."

"Currently, in all of China, apart from Cang Xing, only two people have completed reincarnation. They are both leaders of the [Republic Guard], but the information is heavily sealed, even we non-headquarters CTs haven’t received specific information."

"Adding to this, the known world-renowned T or CTs, the known reincarnation information is mostly summarized by players."

"Firstly, when players first enter the game, there are only two factions available: Justice — CT faction, and Evil — T faction. As for the legendary third faction — the Neutral faction, it has always been considered a hidden faction. Although the name 'Neutral' doesn’t seem to be associated with power, one point must be made: currently, there are no more than ten players in the Neutral faction, and these people only joined the Neutral faction after their first reincarnation. This means that even if the Neutral faction is not as powerful, its threshold is much higher than that of T and CT."

"Secondly, the two major factions of Justice and Evil each have six paths. When players first enter, they are all on the basic path. To put it simply, these six paths are like the lowest level of a three-story staircase. To move up, one must complete reincarnation. The three levels of the staircase are: Lawful Good (LG), Neutral Good (NG), Chaotic Good (CG), Lawful Evil (LE), Neutral Evil (NE), and Chaotic Evil (CE). The second level adds two paths but removes two. Besides Lawful Good (LG), Chaotic Good (CG), Lawful Evil (LE), and Lawful Evil (LE), it adds Lawful Neutral (LN) and Chaotic Neutral, removing Neutral Good (NG) and Neutral Evil (NE). At the highest known level, an Absolute Neutral (N) is added."

"After the first reincarnation, the paths available to players are almost fixed. For example, Lawful Good can only choose Lawful Good (True) after the first reincarnation, and only after the second reincarnation do two choices appear: Lawful Good (Absolute) and Lawful Neutral. Similarly, Chaotic Good can only choose Chaotic Good (True) after the first reincarnation, and only after the second reincarnation can it choose Chaotic Good (Absolute) or Chaotic Neutral."

"When players first consider Neutral Good and Neutral Evil, they might find these paths, which reduce mission rewards by 30%, to be a trap. However, once the truth of reincarnation is known, it’s not hard to see that these two paths are the closest to power. Neutral Good’s first reincarnation directly turns into Lawful Neutral, and Neutral Evil’s first reincarnation directly turns into Chaotic Neutral… paths that others need a second reincarnation to achieve, you can achieve with just one. Isn’t that enough?"

"The Neutral faction, as a hidden faction with no more than fifteen members, is clearly powerful. As an independent existence separate from the police and criminals, the system tasks they receive are different from those of the police and criminals. It is said that the rewards are more generous and the strength increase is easier. Among all those who know the reincarnation information, there is a saying: the strongest second reincarnation path is only one, and that is Absolute Neutral (N)!"

"And the Absolute Neutral path can only be chosen by Lawful Neutral and Chaotic Neutral! Even if others reincarnate into these factions for their second reincarnation, without knowing about a third reincarnation, they cannot enter the Absolute Neutral path."

"So Cang Xing’s advice to you is true, but the current information is all about the paths after reincarnation, not the method of reincarnation."

After Vanessa finished her long speech, she took a deep breath and said, somewhat weary, "But why would Cang Xing give you such a hint? I don’t believe that dead transvestite… that bitch would be so kind."

While she was speaking, Ye Yun kept looking at his right hand, which was still enveloped in flames: "I don’t know, but… in the short term, I probably don’t have the ability to cause her trouble."

For a moment, the four were silent.

After a night of fierce battle and a night of chaos, the two major factions in Hong Kong suffered a huge blow, one that could not even be described as a severe injury.

The casualties among the players were indeed severe, but the tens of thousands of civilians who died, the destruction of Hung Hom, the ruined concert, and the many Asian superstars and groups…

Who would pity them?

At the time, Ye Yun did not feel the severity, and because he was constantly facing life and death, he did not notice. But when he walked out of Hung Hom and saw the densely packed crowds on the streets, some anxious and some weeping, it was as if the cries of ten thousand ghosts were echoing in his ears.

With this feeling, Ye Yun was even more convinced that killing the Unlucky Wolf was right. This despicable man always used others' lives as chips, never thinking about the families of the dead.

But as one of the true culprits behind the concert, Ye Yun sadly realized that he had no right to hate the Unlucky Wolf…

His hatred for the Unlucky Wolf came more from the 'Third Institute'!

"The Third Institute?" Zhang Yusheng’s face had become much thinner overnight. He took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "Don’t have too much hope. Think about it, if X-steam and the Third Institute have the same research direction, X-steam has the ability to peek at system tasks. Even if the people in the Third Institute are not as good as X-steam in some aspects, they might still have the ability to peek at certain scenes. So this time, Major Vanessa, you and I must be careful. If we find that the Third Institute suddenly disappears after we return, it means they have peeked at the content of this main task and know they have been exposed, so they have fled or hidden. But similarly, they might notify the Seven Wolves team, and then we might face the revenge of the Seven Wolves."

Vanessa flicked her red hair, her eyes sharp yet confused, "Let them come! I’ve had enough of this suffocating life. Why should a national organization be at the mercy of a mere civilian team?"

"It’s like the difference between soldiers and mercenaries. We are constrained by too many rules, and the national emblem on our heads does not allow us to deviate from the basic principles," Zhang Yulian said softly, hugging Zhang Yusheng’s arm.

Zhang Yusheng smiled at Ye Yun, "Now it seems that you, the T, are the most relaxed."

The bitterness in his smile was clear, how could Ye Yun not see it?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Yun stretched his body, "Well, there’s no such thing as a feast that never ends. It’s already hard enough for enemies to stand side by side, now it’s time to say goodbye."

He shook hands firmly with Zhang Yusheng, "Until we meet again… or perhaps it’s better if we never meet again?"

Zhang Yusheng patted his shoulder, "The next time we meet, we might be enemies fighting to the death. Not meeting is naturally the best."

Ye Yun said, "Enemies? You don’t need to worry about that. Didn’t you say you would stay to integrate the CTs in Hong Kong? Then you won’t have to worry about meeting me. I’ll find a place to rest today and leave Hong Kong tomorrow."

Zhang Yusheng asked, "Where do you plan to go?"

"Who knows? The world is vast, and I am alone. There are many things I want to do and many places I can go. Besides…" Ye Yun said with a touch of feeling, "It’s better to see foreigners die than to see my own people die before my eyes."

"I suggest you…" Vanessa suddenly took out a shimmering parchment, "Travel according to this."

"What is this?"

Vanessa smiled, "Something I promised you. Open it and see."

Ye Yun was taken aback, took the parchment from Vanessa, and was stunned.

"Design Blueprint for [Blazing Sun Glove (Right)]!?"
