Chapter 157 Hidden Dungeon - Tower of Babylon

From January 22 to January 24, Anson Lu had nothing to do. He bought a game console and a bunch of genuine discs, and stayed at home in the apartment to play various games that he could not afford before.

On January 25th, something happened that shocked the world.

The national team of the Republic of Iraq released a piece of information that could be described as "magical" - they discovered a giant tower that did not exist in a barren desert in Iraq.

The location of this dark giant tower is exactly the site of the ancient Babylonian Tower of Babel.

The story of the "Tower of Babel" is recorded in the Bible, the Old and New Testaments. At that time, humans hoped to have a high tower that could lead to heaven, so they united to build the "Tower of Babel". In order to stop humans' plans, God made humans speak different languages ​​so that they could not communicate with each other. The plan therefore failed, and humans went their separate ways from then on.

However, if Christians were to travel to Iraq today in 2026, they would probably be so shocked that they would be unable to open their mouths, kneel on the ground in fear, and stare tremblingly at this blasphemous tower that reaches the sky.

This is the fact. The Tower of Babylon, which should have collapsed two thousand years ago, has reappeared in this world.

Moreover, its grandeur remains as great as it was in the past. Just one glance at it is enough to give people a shocking feeling as if they were facing a god.

"So, what is the Tower of Babel for?" asked Anson Deer.

"It's not clear yet, but the law enforcement team has sent people to investigate, and the results may be made public after a while." Urushihara Ritsu replied calmly.

Asuka Uesugi folded a thousand paper cranes and said nonchalantly, "I heard that it might be the location leading to a hidden dungeon or the location to activate a boss challenge."

"Where did you hear that?" Anson Lu looked at her with disdain.

“Online.”

"Go away. You can believe what's said on the Internet."

“Can’t we trust what’s online?”

Anson Lu ignored Asuka and looked at Urushihara Ritsu: "No way, Crow, even with your connections, you can't figure it out?"

Urushihara Ritsu flipped the Bible with his fingertips and said calmly, "The law enforcement team is keeping a tight lid on the situation. They also sent people to guard the outside of the Tower of Babel to prevent any unauthorized persons from approaching."

"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's wait for Lorenzo's news. If he doesn't say anything, it means there is no danger in the appearance of this relic, and the benefits have been taken away by the law enforcement team." Anson Lu held up his chin and looked at his mobile phone.

"Indeed, I don't think it's a big deal." Chu Qimo took a sip of tea. "If there is indeed some challenging mission hidden in the ruins, then they will definitely ask the president for help. On the contrary, if there are only some easy-to-obtain rewards in the Tower of Babel, then the law enforcement team will not make it public to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I have to say, you really understand the law enforcement team." Urushihara Ritsu couldn't help laughing.

Anson Lu shrugged and said teasingly, "Not really. For example, if there are any end-level chess pieces hidden in the Tower of Babel, they can't use them. What they deserve will still be given to me."

"Heh, how can the law enforcement team be so magnanimous?" Asuka said sarcastically.

"Come on, the world is about to be fucking destroyed, and they still have time to scheme against us? Lorenzo is not a fool, haven't you noticed that he has been trying to please me recently?" Anson Lu said.

"Lu Jun is right. Lorenzo is also a reasonable person. It will be difficult to deal with the world boss in half a year by relying on the power of the law enforcement team and the national team alone." Urushihara Ritsu laughed, "Whether it is the law enforcement team, the national team, or our Hell Lighthouse, as long as we are human beings, in the face of this disaster that threatens the whole world, there is no doubt that we are a community with a shared destiny."

"Anyway, when they need to exchange interests with us, the law enforcement team will come to us." Chu Qimo said calmly: "Now, we can't get close to the Tower of Babel. After all, their people are in charge. If we approach rashly, it will be equivalent to tearing our faces with the law enforcement team. So, I suggest that everyone stop this meaningless quarrel."

"Did you hear that?"

"Did you hear that?"

Ansonlu turned his head, and Asuka also turned her head at the same time. The two of them looked at each other fiercely, and the voices they spoke were almost completely in sync.

"Teacher Chu is obviously talking about you."

"Teacher Chu is talking about you."

The two seemed to be meeting each other's radar again, glared at each other, snorted coldly and looked away.

Chu Qimo took a sip of tea while Qiyuan Li turned the pages of the book.

The two have become accustomed to this kind of noisy interaction. To stay in this guild, you must first learn to tolerate the constant quarrels between Anson Lu and Asuka, otherwise your ears will never be relieved.

"Oh." Anson Lu suddenly said, "Is it true?"

"What's wrong, Deer-kun?"

"Lorenzo sent me a message right away." Anson Lu yawned and clicked on Lorenzo's message bubble. "This big brother reported the news quite quickly. Let me see what he said."

【Lorenzo: Anson, I'm sure you've heard about the Tower of Babel incident in the Republic of Iraq.】

[Anson Deer: What a coincidence, I was watching the news. ]

【Lorenzo: The investigation results are out. If you have time, we can discuss this matter. 】

At this time, the gossip souls of Urushihara Ritsu and Chu Qimo were burning, and the two of them came over silently, one with a charlatan-like face and the other with a stern face leaning on the left and right sides of Anson Lu respectively, staring at the panel dimly.

"Damn, how gossipy are you guys? Can't you wait for the president's notification? What if Lorenzo talks to me about private matters?"

Anson Deer felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help but bump into their shoulders to ask the man to move away.

"President, I think it is impossible for someone like Lorenzo to talk to you about private matters." Chu Qimo opened his notebook, picked up the ballpoint pen, and said lightly.

"Lu Jun, I think this matter is very important. Personally, I am a devout Christian, and the existence of the Tower of Babel is extremely attractive." Urushihara Ritsu found a passable reason.

"Who cares about you! Can you please learn to respect personal privacy? If I were the principal, I would definitely punish you by making you copy the school rules of Shangshi High School a hundred times!"

Anson Lu yelled and pushed the two men's shoulders apart. Urushihara Ryu, Chu Qimo and the other two bumped into each other. Finally, Anson Lu compromised miserably.

He typed a reply.

[Anson Lu: Didn’t I say I was watching the news? I must have time, so where did that “Tower of Babylon” come from? ]

At the moment when Lorenzo replied to the message, Anson Lu was quick-witted and stretched out his arms, pinching the deep eyes and the cold eyes beside him with his index fingers.

“Bang!”

President Lu was subdued in an instant and pressed on the table, and there was no further news.

"Oh."

Asuka Uesugi sneered sarcastically, and her ruthless sneer reached President Lu's ears.

At this moment, his mood was even worse and miserable.

"Sorry, Lu-kun, it was a conditioned reflex." Urushihara Ritsu let go of Anson Lu's left hand.

"Sorry, President, it's a conditioned reflex." Chu Qimo let go of Anson Lu's right hand.

Anson Deer stood up, shrugged calmly, and said expressionlessly:

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. You all should remember this. Next time, don't let me see you sending messages! Especially you, Teacher Chu. It turns out that no one who keeps a diary is normal."

[Lorenzo: This is a hidden dungeon that only level 50 players can enter, but the information is limited, and the dungeon rewards are still unknown. ]

"It is indeed a hidden copy." Chu Qimo said.

"It seems like this is a very important dungeon." Urushihara Ritsu thought, "After all, this is outside the dungeon time. The ruins of ancient Babylon appeared in Iraq."

"Well, the reward should not be ordinary. After all, it is a level 50 copy. Maybe it contains props that can change the ending of the game." Chu Qimo echoed.

Asuka said faintly, "Come on, you just believed what the captain of the law enforcement team said?"

"Lorenzo has no need to lie." Chu Qimo explained calmly, "It's better to say that even if he lies, he won't gain anything. The initiative is always in his hands."

Anson Deer stretched out his finger, typed, and sent.

[Anson Deer: Oh, a hidden dungeon. Wait, level 50? Please, do we have a chance to reach level 50 before the Tokyo Dragon descends? ]

[Lorenzo: Level 50 is still possible. As long as there are no mistakes, according to the current upgrade progress, the average level of sequence players will be raised to level 50 around May. Then, we can try to challenge this "Babel Tower Hidden Dungeon." ]

[Anson Deer: It’s May, and there’s only one month left before the World Boss descends. At this critical moment, if casualties occur in this hidden dungeon, wouldn’t that be terrible?]

"That's right." Urushihara Ritsu smiled, "In this critical moment, if an important player dies, it will directly affect the outcome of the World Boss Battle."

"Are you the worms in my stomach? Can you please shut up?" Anson Deer was so impatient that he almost bit the crow.

[Lorenzo: Of course, there is such a risk. Otherwise, why do you think I would come to you to share this information? It is precisely because you are the world's number one. With your participation, the tolerance rate will be raised to the highest level.]

"President, I suggest that when you talk to someone like Lorenzo, you should pay attention to your personal image. If you are too rash, you will be subconsciously looked down upon in future cooperation." Chu Qimo reminded.

"Teacher Chu, are you my mother?" Anson Lu complained.

[Anson Lu: That’s right, after all, I’m number one in the world. ]

【Lorenzo: Although it is true, I have to say that you are completely immodest on this point.】

[Anson Deer: Have you ever thought that if we both die in this Babel Tower instance, the world will really be over. ]

"President, are some of your wording too..." Chu Qimo hesitated to speak.

An Senlu interrupted him: "Stop smelling bad, Mr. Chu, you smell too much like your father!"

"Lu Jun, if we had never met before, I would think that anyone who spoke in this tone was an idiot whose brain had not yet been opened." Urushihara Ritsu agreed faintly.

Chu Qimo said seriously: "Indeed, President, playing dumb can make people relax their vigilance against you, but there must be a limit."

"However, this is Lu Jun's consistent style." Urushihara Ritsu said, "There are already many blog posts on the Internet analyzing whether the 'old chess player' is a schizophrenic patient. Some people even used the characteristics of Lu Jun's two personalities as specimens to write some disgusting homosexual articles."

"Crow, shut up, this is the president's order."

"Okay." Qi Yuanlu smiled.

Asuka Uesugi was laughing so hard that she pounded the table and didn't even bother folding paper cranes - she loved watching Anson Deer being tortured by these two weirdos, it was simply the best entertainment of the day.

Under Anson's indifferent gaze, Lorenzo quickly replied to the message.

【Lorenzo: That is impossible. This is my confidence in myself and in you. 】

"Wow, why did I see such gay words when I just came over?" Uesugi Asuka came over at some point and raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that Lorenzo has a very good impression of you."

"You are the least qualified to stand next to me and watch." Anson Lu glanced at her coldly and then typed.

[Anson Deer: Okay, if I'm still alive in May, just remind me and I'll fly to Iraq to accompany you through this instance when I'm free.]

[Lorenzo: Okay, it's settled. Let's continue investigating to see if there are other entrances to the Tower of Babel. If we find any other clues, I will inform you as soon as possible.]

【Anson Deer: Okay, bye. 】

After Anson Lu finished typing, he closed the chat panel.

He took a deep breath and felt a sense of pleasure as if he had been freed from purgatory.

"Have you seen enough?" He turned his head.

“Yeah.” The four people behind him nodded. As for why it was four people: because Yuri had just woken up, and seeing them gathered together, he also came over to take a look at the fun, but just took a glance.

"That's enough. I'm going to call the police." Anson Lu dialed 110. "Hello, police officer, there are four perverts here. They have completely violated my right to privacy."

The four of them were already doing their own things, and no one was continuing to support the comedy.

Anson Lu put down his phone awkwardly, his eyes twitching slightly.

Yuri seemed not to have woken up yet, her clear eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist. She covered her mouth with her white hands, yawned softly, and her snow-white hair swayed gently.

"Play chess?" she asked suddenly.

"Well, let's play chess." Anson Lu stood up.

"Today, I must win a game against you."

"Haha, I remember you have hyperthymesia, someone said the same thing the day before yesterday and yesterday."

"Tomorrow, I will say the same thing."

"Oh, so pitiful, how about I give you a plate?"

"No." Yuri said firmly, "If you let me, I won't go down again."

The two of them walked out of the dormitory while talking.

Chu Qimo wiped the black Sky Sword with a towel and asked, "Speaking of which, have the president and Miss Yuri been spending more and more time together recently?"

"Yes, these two get along very well." Urushihara Ritsu flipped through the Bible.

Asuka Uesugi held her chin, glanced at the closed dormitory door, opened her mouth, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "After all, we don't know how to play chess."
