Return and Points

Looking at the S symbol on his watch, Ye Siyu tapped it lightly, and a screen of light appeared before him. It had only two options: mission and return. The mission option let him check his next mission world in advance, while return took him back to his original world.

Of course, S-rank privileges were not limited to these. It was only because Ye Siyu was still a Plane Apprentice and his level was too low that his S-rank privileges had unlocked just those two functions. Otherwise, they definitely would not have been so simple.

As for the functions available beyond the Plane Apprentice level, the newcomer's handbook said nothing about them. Those were already matters for a Plane Bachelor.

After opening the S-rank privileges menu, Ye Siyu did not select the mission option at the top.

There was a month between each mission, and a Plane Apprentice's S-rank privilege to check a mission could only be used within ten days of the next one. There was no point checking it now, so Ye Siyu tapped return at the bottom instead.

Those chosen by the Plane Space had only two ways to return to their original worlds. One was to commit suicide and leave the Plane Space; the other was to obtain an S-rank evaluation. Each S-rank evaluation allowed one return to the original world during the following rest period, and the returns could not be accumulated.

However, S-rank evaluations were extremely difficult to obtain. According to statistics in the newcomer's handbook, at most one or two out of every hundred thousand chosen ones managed it, and those were experienced veterans who had prepared for it. For a newcomer like Ye Siyu, the chances were minuscule. Even among several billion people, there might not be a single newcomer who obtained an S-rank evaluation on their first mission.

Ye Siyu was excited about this. If he had not possessed the ability to reincarnate infinitely, then with his abilities, obtaining a D-rank evaluation like other newcomers would already have been an extraordinary achievement. There was no way he would have been able to return to his original world as he could now.

The moment Ye Siyu tapped the option, the entire room began to break apart. The single room, originally a little over ten square meters, became a room of roughly the same size, though this one was far messier than the room in the Plane Space.

The familiar bed, desk, chair, computer, and everything else were unchanged.

This was the rest room behind the small convenience store Ye Siyu ran. Before entering the Plane Space, he had been sleeping in the store's rest room.

It was pitch-dark outside. He turned to glance at the digital alarm clock on the nightstand. The time was frozen at 1:30 a.m. on October 15, exactly when he had closed his eyes to sleep.

If not for the power surging through his body, Ye Siyu might have thought everything before this had merely been a dream, as though he had never left the room.

But he knew he really had just left this room and gone to a bizarre world.

"None of this was a dream," Ye Siyu murmured. He then lay down on the bed, his mind turning over all sorts of things: reincarnation, the Plane Space, missions. As he thought, he fell into a deep sleep. He was too tired.

At noon the next day, Ye Siyu finally woke from his deep sleep when the bright sunlight streamed through the window and fell on his face.

After getting up and washing, Ye Siyu raised the convenience store's metal shutter and opened the door.

However, he had no intention of doing business. He only wanted to let more light into the store.

Ordinary people in the real world spent their lives working hard for the four most basic necessities: food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

But when Ye Siyu became one of the Plane Space's chosen ones, he gained a path to becoming a being at the very top of the food chain. He was no longer the ordinary person who had once struggled to make a living. Money and status were no longer very important to him.

As long as he had Points, he could easily obtain money, food, and all the other things needed to sustain an ordinary person's life.

A single Point could be exchanged for ten kilograms of gold or a month's worth of ordinary food.

He could eat as much as he wanted, with his choice of delicacies like abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw. The current Ye Siyu had no need to keep running a business to support himself. Rather than wasting time on such things, he would be better off thinking about how to use his Points effectively to increase his strength.

In the Plane Space, aside from sustaining daily life, the main purpose of Points was to help the chosen ones cultivate and train their skills.

The Plane Space was different from the Lord God Space. It did not exist to force humanity to evolve or deal with outside life-forms. Its purpose was to select a Plane Sovereign.

Thus, unlike Reward Points, Points could not be exchanged for everything reincarnators wanted. Very few things could be obtained with them. Skills that appeared in movies or novels, such as Fireball, as well as high-tech items like Iron Man armor and Gauss pistols, could not be exchanged for.

To learn skills, one could only create them oneself or learn from other chosen ones and people in the mission worlds.

The Plane Space provided only basic knowledge such as Combat Mastery and True Qi Mastery. Any further advancement had to be achieved on one's own.

"Boss, how much is this drink?" came a soft voice.

While Ye Siyu was thinking about the Plane Space, someone had entered the store to buy something without him noticing. It was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen. Judging by her clothes, she was probably a student at the university next door.

"Not for sale," Ye Siyu replied, a little annoyed at having his thoughts interrupted.

"What about this one?" The girl picked up another bottle and asked again.

"Not for sale," Ye Siyu said, waving his hand. It seemed opening the door to air the place out would not do.

"What kind of business are you running? You won't sell anything!" The girl grew a little angry when she heard Ye Siyu's answer.

"I'm not doing business today... Forget it, you can have that drink. Just go," Ye Siyu said impatiently. He then stood up from behind the counter and prepared to close the door.

"Haha, mister, that's not how you flirt with girls." When Ye Siyu offered her the drink, the girl's slightly angry expression turned odd. She thought he was deliberately flirting with her and immediately giggled.

"If you don't leave now, I'm closing the door," Ye Siyu said helplessly.

"Bye-bye, and thanks for the drink, mister..." Seeing that Ye Siyu was sending her away, the girl walked out with a playful air and smiled as she spoke. She thought Ye Siyu was embarrassed because she had seen through him.

When the girl stepped out of the convenience store, she turned around, ready to say something to Ye Siyu. To her surprise, before she could speak, he pulled the metal shutter straight down.

It turned out he really was sending her away.

"Caw~ caw~ caw~"

A crow flew through the girl's mind.
