Rumble—

A flash of white light appeared, and Ye Bai appeared in a tunnel. As soon as he landed, the ground began to shake.

In the dimly lit tunnel, rocks kept falling, kicking up clouds of dust.

The rough, masculine voice roared.

"Run!"

"The mine has collapsed!!"

Another landslide and rockfall occurred, completely blocking Ye Bai's retreat.

The sound of a woman sobbing came from behind Ye Bai.

"Save my husband, cough cough... He went deep into the mine to earn money to buy me medicine... Waaaaah..."

The choked sobs echoed in the tunnel, particularly eerie, sending chills down one's spine.

"Accept the quest [Medusa's Request]?"

[Mission Objective]: Bring Medusa's husband or his belongings back to [location unclear].

[Task Reward]: After submitting the task, the level rating will be automatically calculated.

"

"receive."

Only after accepting the mission can Ye Bai move forward in the tunnel and begin his challenge.

"Thank you, kind person."

The crying behind the pile of stones stopped, and a gust of cold wind blew past Ye Bai's head, leaving him alone in the entire tunnel.

"This level design even has a backstory, which is interesting."

There's a reason why Eternal Tower was initially viewed as an online game when it first appeared.

Levels three through six are like traditional RPG games, where a quest is given within a familiar background story to increase player enjoyment and motivation.

Ye Bai looked ahead and did not act rashly.

With 6 hours and the help of the [Eye of Insight], passing the level is a sure thing.

However, how to achieve a 100% success rate is the question Ye Bai needs to consider!

[How to achieve 100% exploration progress: First reach 99% exploration progress, then gain the remaining 1%]

That's well said, it's as good as saying nothing at all.

"That's a good tip, but don't give that kind of tip next time."

Ye Bai surveyed his surroundings, trying to gather more information.

This is an abandoned mine, rumored to be haunted by man-eating monsters. Miners who tried to fight them off all turned to dust.

You are currently in the first position.

[By moving straight ahead, you can harvest 100L of pure drinking water]

To your left front, a giant lizard is guarding the campfire. It's friendly and won't attack you.

To communicate with it, you'd need either to know the intricate and complex language of lizards, or to happen to possess the SSS-level talent, Eye of Insight.

[To the right front, damn it, it's so dark, there's nothing there.]

Three choices were presented to Ye Bai, and the last option was eliminated.

"Pure water is of little use to me, but based on my experience with RPG games, such items usually have an effect later on."

Otherwise, there would be no reason to leave 100L of purified water on Ye Bai's path.

"If you only need water, you can try water magic."

Ye Bai himself was not a water mage, but he carried relevant spell scrolls with him.

"Water Ball Technique!"

Ye Bai tore open a scroll, and a water ball floated in his palm before finally falling.

The water began to evaporate and disappear immediately upon contact with Ye Bai's skin!

[Rules of the Pit: Water cannot be created using magic for washing or drinking!]

There are even special rules!

In this way, the value of 100L of purified water increases dramatically!

"But the lizard can communicate, so there must be some special clue on it..."

Compared to water, lizards are much rarer!

If it were anyone else choosing, they would definitely choose purified water without hesitation!

Oh, Ye Bai forgot that they had no choice but to guess.

Ah, the troubles of happiness.

"Choose the lizard."

Ye Bai had a bold idea in his mind that he wanted to try.

Just because you can only move forward within the squares and cannot move left or right doesn't mean the lizard can't move left or right.

If the lizard can help him fetch water, Ye Bai will not only gain a clue, but also get the water!

Only children make choices; I want them all!

Ye Bai walked towards the tunnel to the left and proceeded to the next square.

Second section.

In the empty pit, the campfire crackled and popped, and a huge lizard was resting near the fire.

Upon seeing Ye Bai's arrival, it merely raised its eyes briefly before turning its head away, no longer paying attention.

"As expected, it won't attack me; it's a neutral NPC or creature."

"We need to communicate with it in lizard language to see if there are any clues we can gather!"

When Ye Bai saw the characters in the Lizard Language, his face immediately fell.

Sorry, I forgot you don't speak lizard language either.

[Swept to Pinyin pronunciation mode]

Following the prompts from the subtitles, Ye Bai began to speak:

"Waibibabu?"

What the heck?! Is this lizard language?!

I've long suspected that Dave from Plants vs. Zombies is actually a lizard man!

"Wabibabu!!"

The lizard suddenly stood up from the ground, looking at Ye Bai with eager eyes. It was the first time in countless years that it had encountered a being that could communicate with it!

“Aba aba...”

Ye Bai communicated with the giant lizard using lizard language, and then used the [Eye of Insight] to translate what the giant lizard said.

Ye Bai quickly understood what the lizard was trying to convey.

"Run! Tell me to run!"

"There's a petrifying monster out there; she's beyond my ability to defeat."

Really? I don't believe it! Ye Bai looked at his 30th floor, ready to unleash its power, and felt there was nothing to be afraid of.

The term "petrifying monster" appears repeatedly in the description of the giant lizard.
