The air-floating vehicle sped towards the city center.
About ten minutes later, thankfully, there was finally a place where living people gathered in the City of Reincarnation.
Looking down, there were many hovercars and various mounts parked on both sides of the road, and there were many more reincarnated people passing by. Various industries had gathered here.
A magic shop opened by a reincarnator with mage blood sells mage-specific bread, as well as talismans and other items. A large crowd gathers at the shop's entrance.
There's also a clay shop run by a reincarnator with Deidara's bloodline from Naruto, with a huge banner that reads: "Exploding Clay - Explosion is Art!"
What really caught Tina's eye was the firearms shop! This was incredible; it was practically stealing business from the Reincarnation Shop!
wrong!
Tina suddenly felt that the atmosphere in this store was very strange. There was no trace of the firearms she was familiar with. Instead, it was filled with a lewd atmosphere. So, what kind of firearms were they...?
……
Besides the three listed above, there are more than a dozen other shops run by various reincarnators. These are either cheaper than the main god's shops or so bizarre that they're not even available in the reincarnation shops (like the clay bomb). For most people looking for value for money, these are extremely attractive.
then
In a certain part of this desolate and lifeless metropolis, the industries that have sprung up and the people they attract have given this place a semblance of the prosperity of a small town.
The hovercar slowly descended into the parking lot in the central area, and the group jumped off one after another. Tina was the last to get off, and after disembarking, she followed J to the entrance of a massive ten-story building.
People were coming and going in a steady stream; business seemed to be booming.
It looks like a four-star hotel building, but it's actually a bar—a ten-story upscale bar with several bold, black metal characters above it.
——FE Bar
"FE, what does that mean...?" the girl asked curiously.
"Pfft," Wu Teng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He tilted his head and explained in a low voice, "Actually, at first, J wanted to call it 'Periodic Table' Bar, but the main god said there was a character limit for registration... so it was changed to Iron, which is FE."
"Huh? The periodic table... Isn't that funny?"
"Oh," Tina replied casually, and seeing that J had already gone in first, she immediately followed.
Wu Teng was left standing there awkwardly for a moment, then quickly straightened up and followed him inside.
After passing through a long red corridor, there was another entrance inside the building, which was blocked by two robot guards. A red beam swept across them, and the armed robots made way, uttering a synthesized "respectfully" in unison.
[Welcome back, Master!]
Upon entering the opulent bar, Tina discovered that there were quite a few people inside... or rather, quite a few reincarnators.
The enormous ballroom in the center was no longer occupied by singers or dancers; instead, it had been transformed into a giant crystal screen, continuously playing storylines from various 'worlds' and information about the postures of the City of Reincarnation.
The area surrounding the crystal screen resembled a normal bar, with numerous round tables and chairs, as well as several bar counters. Dim lighting and heavy metal background music created a warm atmosphere, where reincarnators gathered in small groups to exchange information or find teammates.
Hearing the robot's welcoming voice, J stepped into the hotel, and instantly all fifty or sixty pairs of eyes turned to him.
"Yo ho!! Uncle J, long time no see!"
"Tsk! Manager J has gotten even more handsome in just a few days. Shall we pop some champagne and give us a discount to liven things up?"
From all directions, the sounds of reincarnators trying to get close to J could be heard. J remained dignified and didn't say anything, but walked in with a smile on his face. Immediately afterward, Tina and Wu Teng also appeared.
Wu Teng is also a celebrity in the lower district and a good friend of Manager J. Many people are familiar with him, but the little girl following behind him seems to be someone they are seeing for the first time.
"Oh my! Manager J, there are already very few female reincarnators, and you're always out flirting with other women. Where did you kidnap this little loli from?"
"This little girl is so cute, J. What's your relationship with her? Can...can we get to know her?"
J was determined not to let these people provoke Tina, so he gave the man a natural and sincere smile and explained kindly:
"This guest, please watch your expression and your brain, or I won't hesitate to cripple all three of your legs, because... she's my daughter..."
Beneath J's smile lay a serious expression, devoid of any hint of jest. The man felt a chill run down his spine, and was about to say "I wouldn't dare," when...
BOOM ...
A 720-degree spin! J's body spun and twisted in mid-air, crashing through several tables and chairs before finally slamming heavily onto a long bar table in the distance.
After a series of crashing sounds,
The air was deathly silent.
Some of the reincarnators who were pouring wine remained motionless, their expressions blank with disbelief, oblivious to the wine overflowing from their glasses, trickling down the table and onto the floor with a 'drip-drip' sound.
Everyone else was like an idle robot at the bar, completely still, except that their gazes were all fixed on J, who was lying disheveled under the bar.
A cute, silver-haired little girl walked up to J with tiny steps, her arms wrapped around a chestnut ball that was even cuter than a plush toy.
The girl remained calm, lowered her gaze, and softly asked, "...Are you alright?"
J, still dazed and confused from the fall, reached out and grabbed the edge of the long bar table, slowly stood up, straightened her hair, pushed up her glasses, wiped the dust off, and then said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Faced with the surprised, fearful, and strange gazes suddenly cast upon them by the entire audience.
J might give in to Tina, but he wouldn't be so easily appeased by their attitude. He turned around and roared at them, "What are you bunch of bastards looking at! You want to die?!"
"Haha... It's alright, it's alright, everyone, let's keep chatting, let's keep chatting..."
The reincarnators quickly brought the atmosphere in the bar back to its lively and boisterous state, but there was an inexplicable sense of merriment in it... which probably gave the reincarnators another source of amusement to share during their leisure time.
"Two glasses of Lafite, please." Uncle J first said to the robot at the bar, then sighed, "...Tina, even in the cycle of reincarnation, you're still so cheeky."
“I hate it when people call me daughter.” Tina’s calm voice carried a hint of coldness. She glanced at him slightly. “...If there’s a next time, I’ll use the railgun.”
J: "..."
Two stemmed glasses filled with a deep red liquid were quickly brought up by the robot. J handed one to Tina first, then picked up another and took a sip.
"Where's the other person?" the girl asked.
"You were so rough, you probably scared him away."
J put down his glass and gave a wry smile: "...Actually, I'm quite envious of that guy. He changes girlfriends every few days. The first one was some dark magic girl, and then some female knight appeared. As for me, sigh."
“A four-star monster, a Queen Knight,” Tina suddenly said.
"Hey, how did you know?" J asked in surprise.
A chill ran through the girl's eyes. She had no interest in explaining and instead changed the subject:
"Didn't you say you were going to introduce your bar? More than just selling drinks...?"
J then instructed the robot to retrieve two orange canned drinks from a sealed display stand—exactly the same as the previous two.
Only when the girl grasped the ordinary canned drink again and invaded it with her consciousness did this string of information appear before her eyes.
[Element Functional Beverage]
[Producer: J]
[Level: Blue]
[Effect: Restores 20% of stamina, mental strength, and mana within half an hour after drinking. Cooldown: 3 days]
The girl was somewhat incredulous: "Dimensional amplifier...? Is this a technological product from 'our world'?"
J admitted, "By chance, I got hold of the blueprints from the organization, and later, after being transported to this ghost reincarnation world, I was inexplicably given a hint that I could make this drink... and this bar exists to run it."
"After FE Bar became popular, I, a nobody, became known as Manager J, and my fame somehow spread, but..."
J sneered and continued, "However, it seems I've infringed on the interests of some forces. In the last world, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, I was severely outmaneuvered by that force, chased by 98 Kabane for four or five stations, and almost capsized in a ditch!"
Tina: "..."
Suddenly, heavy footsteps thumped loudly, growing closer and clearer. The force transmitted from the ground caused ripples to form in the glass of red wine in Tina's hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and oppressive. More than half of the reincarnators in the bar had already left, and the remaining chatter was suddenly hushed up and inaudible.
The air seemed blocked, unable to circulate; an eerie silence and a pervasive sense of dread created an extremely oppressive atmosphere in the bar.
Beside the bar, both the girl and Uncle J looked up at the same time, glancing towards the bar's entrance.
—He was a towering giant, over two meters tall, with muscles as thick as coiled dragons. The dim light couldn't illuminate his shadowy face beneath the pirate hat and bone mask, and his ghostly pupils were even more dim and sinister than the light itself.
Clad in a massive, floor-length black robe that enveloped his entire body, exuding a dark aura as swift as the wind, and with a mottled, jet-black knight's greatsword strapped to his back, this enormous, terrifying creature, unlike any human, strode with earth-shaking steps to a spot thirty meters away from J.
"The president asked me to ask you... what's your... decision?"
A chilling, hoarse sound emanated from his throat, and his sinister gaze was fixed on J, who was leaning haphazardly against the long bar table in the distance, staring at the scarlet liquid in his glass as it swayed leisurely.
The clever Tina could vaguely guess that either he wanted to obtain J's technology for making energy drinks, or he wanted to incorporate Hotel FE into 'that force'. So, the girl's gaze also turned to Uncle J, wanting to observe his attitude.
J remained relaxed, slowly downing the crimson wine in his glass in one gulp. Only after the bottom of the glass lightly tapped against the table, producing a soft click, did the manager's nonchalant voice rang out:
"Please pass on a message to your vice president... Your Master J only responds to gentle persuasion, not force!"
Tina sensed something was wrong and quickly pushed J: "...Um, did you misunderstand...? It's not that you're unyielding to both soft and hard approaches?"
"Ah……"
The terrifying behemoth turned and left, leaving behind a low, contemptuous echo in the air.
"Is there a difference?" For the first time, fear appeared in Uncle J's eyes as he watched the giant disappear step by step into the dim light, and a sense of hostility gathered in his heart.
"Hassan, the strongest death knight under the vice president of the Twilight Council—a master assassin of the Mountain Elder lineage, known for his unparalleled stealth and cunning—will never resort to soft tactics if he can get away with it..."

[Ah, I'm so sorry about the recent slow update speed. I'm one of the slowest writers, so I can't be fast at all. Plus, Sister Nanxi is urging me about the release date... So, in addition to guaranteeing at least 4000 words per day, please allow me to save up some chapters for the release. I'll update like crazy after the release (I'm just jinxing it, I hope the release won't be a disaster Orz) ~~~ I'd be so grateful!]
[My teammates and opponents will be assembled soon, and we can enter the world in a day or two. Also, thank you so much everyone... (tears)]
[Ta50 Nata, and an invitation to the new world!]
Stars, like dust motes dotting the ink, are like beautiful fireflies quietly burning on a dark canvas.
A few hours ago
Ten kilometers outside the FE bar, Tina found a quiet, open area and paid 5 Reincarnation Points to buy a villa on the vacant land... But when she looked around, she couldn't find a refrigerator-themed villa? How annoying! Well, then, a minimalist style it is.
