We have the Fountain of Youth and the Mermaid's Tears; all we need is an NPC to be our test subject.

Henry won't do it.

He had drunk from the Fountain of Youth before, and couldn't drink from it a second time.

To inherit the curse of immortality, one must simultaneously drink both the Mermaid's Tears and the Fountain of Youth.

We need to change the NPC.

On Mermaid Island, besides bartender Henry, there's pirate Robert and bounty hunter Randy.

Or rather, Ye Bai didn't really have any choice.

Give Robert the curse of immortality, and turn them into new monsters, new scourges?

Ye Bai obviously wouldn't do that.

"brush--"

A gentle breeze swept by, and Randy felt the scenery before him sway slightly. Ye Bai's figure reappeared.

"captain!"

"Randy, I don't think I've introduced myself yet."

Ye Bai laughed.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shura."

He reached out and shook hands with Randy.

"Wes Randy, bounty hunter."

Randy's gaze towards Ye Bai shifted slightly, and he spoke with a hint of surprise.

"I've heard your name before, Captain Shura. I've heard it many times these days!"

In taverns, on ships, in St. Mary's harbor—no, in any harbor—people are talking about your name.

Randy wasn't exaggerating.

The fifteenth floor is a floor with many human players.

Everyone gathered together, went out to sea to fish, and had a wonderful time.

With more people, there are more topics to talk about.

These days, the emergence of the Asura is definitely the hottest topic among human players.

Ye Bai spoke again,

"Then you should also know that I, or we, are actually quite different from you."

Randy nodded.

"Yes, it was discovered a hundred years ago."

You appear for a maximum of six hours each day, from a place called Blue Star. Oh, right, you are unkillable...

Randy casually mentioned some of the players' characteristics.

After saying that, he shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"You seem to call this place...the fifteenth floor?"

"right."

Ye Bai had nothing to hide and nodded in acknowledgment.

What's the difference between the so-called NPCs and real people inside the Eternal Tower?

In Ye Bai's view, there was no difference.

They are not data, they are not virtual; they can be grasped.

Only by venturing into the Tower of Eternity with this perspective can one truly understand everything that those who came before have done.

Nightmare believes the Eternal Tower to be real.

It might even be a world within a single floor.

That is why nightmares are kind to people and will never kill unless absolutely necessary.

To some extent, the second brother's hatred of evil and his willingness to draw his sword at the slightest disagreement stemmed from the same reason.

If you treat Eternal Tower as a typical online game, ignoring good and evil, right and wrong, and only focusing on maximizing your own interests...

While becoming stronger, you will also lose some things.

Take the fifteenth floor as an example.

Ye Bai only needs to take the [Mermaid's Treasure] to gain 30% exploration progress.

He doesn't need to kill the "immortal monster" at all to achieve a 4S rating.

only,

Just as Ye Bai said.

Since we're already here, wouldn't it be appropriate not to kill a boss to celebrate?

"Randy, now you have a choice."

Ye Bai took out the Mermaid's Tears and the Fountain of Youth, and explained the whole story.

Randy was somewhat incredulous.

"So, you intend to give this blessing to me?"

"This is not a blessing, it's a curse."

Ye Bai emphasized that "immortality" is not as wonderful as it sounds.

"Moreover, even if you agree to do this, I have conditions."

"Please speak."

Ye Bai and Randy made a three-point agreement.

After Randy receives the curse of immortality, he will return to St. Mary's Port and reintegrate into society.

Ye Bai didn't care how Randy used this power.

But Randy must promise one thing: he must not use this power for evil!

This power, this curse, can easily lead people astray, ultimately causing them to fall into the abyss.

Randy didn't think for long before nodding in agreement to Ye Bai's conditions.

"Do I need to swear an oath, or sign some kind of contract?"

Randy knew that verbal agreements had limited effectiveness.

If Shura wants to restrain him, he can use something more powerful.

"Nothing is needed, absolutely nothing."

Ye Bai handed the two items to Randy, revealing a warm smile.

"You just need to remember that Shura is silently watching everything."

Your actions cannot escape the eyes of the Asura.

When you break your promise, the Asura will come after you and take away everything that was given to you.

The island is in the sweltering heat of summer.

Randy suddenly felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his body.

The Shura Captain in front of him, wearing a half-mask, was clearly using the calmest tone to utter the harshest words.

"As you wish, my captain."

Randy took a half step back, took off his hat, and pressed it to his chest.

After doing all this, he picked up two glasses of wine, drank them in one gulp, and then bent over and began to gag.

"vomit--"

These two things tasted even worse than horse urine, and they disgusted him!

"Rinse your mouth, let's go."

Ye Bai tossed a bottle of mouthwash to Randy.

Soon, the two of them were lifted into the air.

Flying is permitted on Mermaid Island.

However, Ye Bai chose a less strenuous method.

Cerberus's four limbs transformed into seatbelts, securing Randy.
