New District (Second Update)

"More or less done. Time to go out and deal with Commander Wu."

Time in the Mission Space passed in an instant, but time afterward in the Reincarnation Space remained synchronized with the real world. In other words, he should currently have vanished from Wu Pei’s room.

He could come back for the rest of the training later.

However, just as Xu Yue was about to leave, another prompt came from the space.

Congratulations, Reincarnator. You have completed your Promotion Mission, shed your newcomer status, and become an official Reincarnator. Official Reincarnators will unlock additional permissions, including access to intermediate training cards…

Having endured the baptism of fire and blood to become an official Reincarnator, the missions you face from now on will become more difficult, and the penalties for mission failure will increase…

Your district has been promoted from District ‘Wu’ to District ‘Ding.’ Pay 1,000 Reincarnation Points to manually choose a district number. If you do not pay, one will be selected at random.

The successive prompts all confirmed that Xu Yue had entered the ranks of official Reincarnators. Seeing the fee for selecting a number, he could only grumble inwardly that the space truly left no stone unturned when it came to charging fees. It would not even spare 1,000 Reincarnation Points.

Although Xu Yue did not care much about 1,000 Reincarnation Points, given his personality, he would not waste even a single point on something so meaningless. Nor did he care about lucky numbers.

He did not have companions who needed to coordinate with him, either.

So he naturally chose random selection.

When the space acted, even with Xu Yue’s current perception, he could not sense the slightest change. The entire district transfer was completed in an instant.

The small wooden cabin had successfully advanced to District ‘Ding.’

Transfer successful. Current district: ‘China Ding-13.’

Since the transfer was complete, Xu Yue naturally prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to exit, the entire wooden cabin began to shake violently.

Xu Yue could not help frowning.

Someone was attacking his foothold from outside?

Though this cabin looked crude, its defenses were enough to withstand attacks from an ordinary Special Jonin.

He had only just entered District ‘Ding.’ Shouldn’t everyone here be at the level of official Reincarnators?

Thinking this, Xu Yue stopped exiting and changed into the saved face of Uncle Yue.

Boom!

A huge gap suddenly burst open in the cabin wall.

Then Xu Yue saw something outside with a strange, slightly futuristic design…

Uh, an excavator…

Several figures slowly walked in through the broken wall, blocking all of Xu Yue’s escape routes as they brazenly swept their gazes across everything in the room.

However, Xu Yue had enough Reincarnation Points, so he generally stored his belongings in Sealing Scrolls. There was nothing kept in the room.

Seeing the bare and shabby room, the uninvited guests seemed rather dissatisfied.

One of them spat onto the floor, then glared viciously at Xu Yue.

"Hand over your valuables. Save us the trouble of wasting our merit fines."

A man with a cigar in his mouth and a cape draped over his shoulders casually pulled over one of Xu Yue’s chairs. He sat down with his legs spread apart, his face full of arrogance.

This was…

A robbery?

Even Xu Yue, with his reaction speed, was momentarily bewildered.

Was District ‘Ding’ this dangerous after becoming an official Reincarnator?

"Gentlemen, may I ask why you destroyed my house, and why you came looking for me? Aren’t you afraid of the space’s punishment?" Xu Yue asked in an even tone.

"Haha, don’t try to deceive us. We’re professional Safe-Zone Break-In Gang members. We have our own methods of calculation. You just appeared, so you must have only recently passed your Promotion Mission! A newcomer’s Promotion Mission differs from later Promotion Missions. Failure means erasure, so success means enormous gains."

The caped man with the cigar, lounging in an obnoxious pose, exhaled a smoke ring and gave a savage grin.

Xu Yue finally understood. Tsk, after becoming an official Reincarnator, there was a risk of having people break into his home. So that was what the district selection fee was for: choosing a district with better security, or one occupied by a legion, for self-protection.

"So you specifically target newcomers who have just arrived?"

"Of course. They may all be official Reincarnators, but there’s still quite a gap between someone who has completed four missions and someone who has completed seven. Besides, those old hands may not have many points left on them. We prefer safety and value for money."

The cigar-smoking man snapped his fingers and explained again.

The reason he said so much was also because he hoped Xu Yue would be sensible and voluntarily hand over the protection money.

Otherwise, if they encountered someone truly stubborn, even if they beat him up—or even risked severe punishment to kill him—they would gain nothing from it. Who would do that without profit?

Of course, if the other party refused to recognize the situation, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was also necessary!

Throwing out several photographs, the cigar-smoking man revealed his stark white teeth. The photos showed Reincarnators in various wooden cabins dying gruesome deaths.

"Rest assured, these photos were left behind by people who refused to obey. As long as you obediently hand over enough points, we’ll leave immediately. We can even sign a protection agreement covering the intervals between three missions. Neither we nor anyone else will come to collect fees from you again."

Looking at the tragic deaths in the photos, Xu Yue’s expression became somewhat strange.

"So you do this because you can afford the punishment? You really do whatever you want."

At Xu Yue’s words, the others burst into wild laughter.

"That’s right. Since you’ve just arrived, newcomer, you should obediently pay some tuition fees. Don’t force us to act…"

"You should know that once we start, the points deducted from us remain the same until we kill you."

"When it comes to torture, we have a thousand different methods!"

"If you force us to kill you, then you’re truly impressive."

"As long as we can afford the price, we can reasonably make use of the space’s rules."

"Sorry, but having money really does mean you can do whatever you want!"

"…"

Outside Xu Yue’s wooden cabin, beside the rather futuristic-looking excavator, quite a few people who had set up stalls or posted trade listings stood by the road and watched.

"Those disgusting guys again. This newcomer is really pitiful."

"Isn’t he? He just passed his Promotion Mission, so he must have gained quite a lot. They’re going to make a killing."

"Heh, thankfully there’s protection for stall trading. But the space gives everyone these shabby little houses, and there’s no rule protection inside. It really is designed to bully people."

"Want protection? Pay to upgrade."

"The key is those technological items. Look at that machine. It’s slow as hell and useless in a real fight, but it’s perfect for tearing down houses. If Reincarnators had to dismantle one themselves, it would probably take at least the best among experienced Reincarnators."

"…"

The main theme of the Reincarnation Space was cold indifference: if it had nothing to do with you, you stayed out of it.

These spectators were merely looking for amusement while running their stalls.

Some of them had even suffered similar losses themselves, and took a certain malicious pleasure in it. They wished everyone else would suffer the same losses they had.

But at that moment, scorching flames surged outward through every opening in the wooden cabin, tongues of fire spraying forth.

Even from where they stood watching, they could feel the waves of heat.

"Huh?"

"Explosive Tags? Did they run into someone from a barbecue shop?"

"Probably not a barbecue shop. Their area of activity isn’t here…"

"I wonder whether those pests were taken out."

"They went down together? What a hot-tempered guy…"

After the blazing flames disappeared, everyone was surprised to find that the house had not vanished!

Instead, the damaged areas gradually repaired and filled themselves in.

The owner of the house was not dead!

Yet not a single robber who had entered came back out!

The excavator turning into white motes also showed that its owner had been killed.

This… was really someone who had just passed a Promotion Mission?

Those people were all old hands who had completed seven missions!

It was because they were about to enter their next Promotion Mission that they used this method to frantically amass wealth.

Though everyone despised them, no one could underestimate their abilities!

Yet they had held an absolute advantage in numbers and had completed more missions, only to be forcibly wiped out by one person?

For a time, everyone’s gaze toward that battered wooden cabin changed. The soot-blackened cabin now seemed like a terrifying monster with its jaws wide open…

The owner of that house had some kind of move that could take everyone down with him, yet he also possessed defensive, life-saving abilities. He could not be provoked…

Second guaranteed update~

Also, you only need to have a rough understanding of Lelouch’s background~

The main plot is about an abandoned Prince with a severe Sister Complex starting a rebellion.

It’s considered a mecha anime, but it contains two kinds of superpowers. One is Code, which has no particularly special abilities aside from granting immortality. Well, immortality is a bit weak as an attribute and can more or less be ignored, but eternal life is absolutely real. The other superpower is Geass, an ability gained by those who form contracts with Code holders. Geass is a unique ability that specifically affects the brain and nervous system. Its users possess all kinds of different powers. Lelouch, the protagonist of the anime, has absolute control: he can control each person once by making eye contact.

Besides those two special abilities, there is also a unique system said to have been left behind by God, as well as C World, the collective human subconscious~

It is considered one of the easiest anime settings in which to obtain the attribute of eternal life~

It doesn’t matter if you do not know the plot. You only need to know the background points I mentioned.

Before obtaining Code, one must first obtain Geass. After obtaining Code, one can directly connect to C World. The Divine Miracle locations around the world can access God’s operating system~
