Chapter 143
The twenty-third floor is a dark maze. Once you enter it, it is so pitch black that you can hardly see your hand in front of you. Coupled with the ethereal background music, it feels like you have entered hell.
The good news is that Xia Mo has his own way of dealing with maze-like terrain.
Although I don’t remember the correct answer, as long as I follow the method, I will find a way out quickly.
After lighting the candle given at the entrance of the maze, Xia Mo walked inward by feeling the left wall with the faint light. After walking a short distance, the road ahead became a dead end. So he went back to the fork in the road, continued to walk to the left, continued to retreat when he saw a dead end, and then turned left... and so on.
She progressed very quickly. According to the time display in the upper left corner, only 5 minutes had passed and she had already completed 70% of the maze.
However, Xia Mo stared around with a slightly suspicious expression.
She remembered that there were no pure maze floors in the Tower of Babel. There should be monsters on every floor, so why didn't she encounter any this time?
After turning a corner, suddenly, a pair of red eyes flashed in the darkness ahead.
Bloody bat!
Finally remembering what the monster on this floor was, Xia Mo skillfully threw out a set of procedures.
Undead Mark, mark 3 helpers; Star Scattered, slow down the group first; Star Destruction, group attack and freeze; Comet Storm, sweep away everything and end.
In just a few seconds, all the hideous blood-red bats died at her feet.
Xia Mo didn't dare to delay and ran towards the exit with his weapon.
During this period, she encountered two waves of blood-red bats, more in number than the first time, but it didn't matter, they were just a piece of cake. She got rid of them in a few moves and strode out of the maze.
[Successfully cleared the 23rd floor of the Tower of Babel, current ranking: 1]
[Experience Point Reward +30,000, Gold Coin Reward +100]
This is what she wants.
Xia Mo closed the reward box and did not continue to rush up, but waited there.
More than twenty seconds later, the second place in the Tower of Babel was announced - Daydream.
22 seconds slower than her, well, she knew it.
With a slight curl of his lips, Xia Mo opened the next level and continued the attack.
Daydream stared at his ranking in disbelief. He was actually second? And he was over 20 seconds behind her?
The scene of her playing around in the Yakat Cave emerged involuntarily. I shook my head vigorously in my daydream. The cave is a cave, and the Tower of Babel is the Tower of Babel!
After half a year, he didn't believe that he couldn't beat her!
He rushed in with all his might, 23rd floor, 24th floor, 25th floor... He just kept rushing all the way to the 30th floor.
Coming out of the exit, Daydream couldn't wait to see the rankings.
Damn, second again!
Since the 22nd floor, he had never been able to take first place again! The title of perpetual runner-up seemed to be nailed to his head.
Daydreaming took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down and not get angry. After all, the opponent was good at AOE violent output, while he was an assassin who was better at single-target attacks. From the perspective of monster-killing efficiency, he was naturally at a disadvantage.
He can't avoid the advantages and disadvantages of his profession, so he might as well change his equipment!
As a player with a certain reputation on the assassin list, it is normal to have one or two sets of replacement equipment.
He is a solo player. Apart from playing dungeons, he rarely teams up with others to kill monsters. So for the sake of efficiency, he specially found a blacksmith and an enchanter to make a set of equipment suitable for group attacks.
Now was the time when it would come in handy, so Daydream quickly changed into it and plunged into the thirty-first floor.
Half an hour later, Daydream came out of the thirty-first floor panting.
Ranking, he wants to see the ranking!
He raised his eyes and looked at the ranking list expectantly, but his expression instantly fell as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water.
How could this happen? Another second one?!
This time he clearly took less time than the previous floor, so why did he still get the same result?
Gritting his teeth unwillingly, he turned to open the Tower of Babel overall leaderboard to see how long she had taken.
“Only 2 seconds late!”
My chest felt like it was being strangled, and my breathing became difficult. Daydreaming stared at the result intently: "Okay, since it's only 2 seconds away, I'll give it my all!"
After drinking the stamina potion to fill up the red and blue bars, he gripped the dagger tightly and rushed to the new floor with a determined look on his face.
32, 33, 34...
All the players outside the Tower of Babel stared in amazement.
"Oh my god, this guy called Daydream just had sex with the Ink Boss?"
"I really admire his courage. He actually dared to challenge the number one on the list."
"Well, he's in the top ten of the assassins list after all, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant."
"Am I the only one who noticed that starting from the 30th floor, Mo Se's performance was only 2 seconds faster than Daydream's every time?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two people's results.
"Is it a coincidence?" someone asked in surprise.
But this was quickly refuted by others: "Once or twice can be called a coincidence, but look at the rest of the time, all the differences were only 2 seconds. This is really not human control?"
hiss--
The players outside the tower gasped.
"Can this be controlled manually? Are you kidding us, little sister?" A male player shook his head and laughed.
The girl who retorted rolled her eyes at him: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that the Ink-colored Boss can't do it. People are different, understand?"
The male player fell silent, and the others also stopped talking.
At this moment, when they looked at the results of the Tower of Babel, their eyes were not just filled with surprise, but also with indescribable shock and astonishment.
Inside the Tower of Babel, Xia Mo, who was completely unaware of all this, was still carefully calculating the progress and time.
After killing the monsters in the tower in seconds again, she did not rush out. Instead, she waited quietly for more than ten seconds before taking a step out.
[Successfully cleared the 39th floor of the Tower of Babel, current ranking: 1]
[Experience Point Reward +100,000, Gold Coin Reward +500]
【Congratulations, you have reached level 35! 】
The experience points rewarded by the Tower of Babel are so generous that players can level up by one level just by grinding the tower. This is why so many players competed for the top three points back then. After all, getting one point is equivalent to grinding monsters in the wild for 3 hours! Who wouldn’t be jealous?
What a pity, Xia Mo has taken all the first place in the Tower of Babel in this life.
Not only do we have to take all the credit, but we also have to tell the second person’s daydreams that they can never surpass her.
As soon as Xia Mo came out of the 39th floor, Daydream followed him out.
Seeing that there was still a huge "2" written behind his ID, Daydream admitted that he was mentally broken!
What made him even more angry was that this time his result was still only 2 seconds slower than hers!
Wait, how come it’s such a coincidence every time?
His eyes froze for a moment, and he finally realized something was wrong and quickly flipped through the results.
My head buzzed.
Damn, she’s controlling the points! No, she’s controlling the seconds!!!
Daydream was stunned, his eyes wide as if they were light bulbs.
Is she still human? She can even deliberately control the time it takes to clear a tower, no more, no less, exactly 2 seconds faster than him every time! How does she do that? Does she have the Eye of God? God, she must be a devil!
His emotions were in turmoil, his lips trembling slightly, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time...
Devil, she is absolutely a devil...!
In my muddled brain, only this sentence kept playing over and over again.
Xia Mo was still rushing up, but he was somewhat tired.
She drank another bottle of stamina potion and decided to finish the 40th floor and call it a day.
Every 10 floors of the Tower of Babel constitutes a strength level, so 40 and 39 are not the same concept.
But she decided to give it a try.
As I stepped into the entrance, I heard a slight clicking sound and a faint smell of engine oil wafted into my nose.
Bullets confronted each other, and Xia Mo remembered the theme of this floor.
The floor collapsed and a launcher appeared in front of her, shooting bullets at her.
Xia Mo supported himself on the floor and did a side flip to avoid the attack, then teleported from the flank, stepped on the maximum release range of the skill, and threw!
The launcher exploded, but more launchers popped up.
They are like cockroaches that can't be killed, and they keep appearing like spring breezes blowing again. Players who are among them not only need to control their bodies to dodge them agilely, but also need to find the right angle to launch unexpected counterattacks.
Xia Mo didn't know how many such launchers he had destroyed, but the end was still in the distance.
Time passed exceptionally slowly. Even though Xia Mo had taken a dose of the speed-up purple medicine, he still felt that his pace was much slower than at the beginning.
Bang bang, when she turned to dodge, two bullets hit her left and right shoulder blades respectively. She couldn't lift the weapon with both hands, so she was forced to retract the Star Staff and prepare for melee attack.
Without the support of arms, the body balance when running decreased, but Xia Mo didn't care. The progress had been pushed to 80%. How could he give up?
At the moment when she was almost hit in the head by a bullet, she threw herself forward with all her strength. The bullet just passed by her scalp, and she also struggled to the base of the launcher.
If your hands can’t work, use your teeth!
It bit the wire coiled on the base with one bite, snapped the wire, and the transmitter stopped working.
In the subsequent confrontation, Xia Mo did the same thing. Of course, he was hit by several bullets while dodging them.
Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit her head or heart, which are critical parts of her body. She wouldn't be killed in one blow. As long as she still has a breath, she will continue!
When the progress reached 99%, Xia Mo finally saw the light of day exhausted.
She ran as fast as she could, and just as she was about to take a step forward, bang bang bang! A launcher mysteriously appeared behind her!
I'm speechless. Why are you so persistent?
Xia Mo made up her mind and ignored the chasing bullet. She rushed outwards. A white light flashed at the finish line and the bullet hit her left back almost at the same time, penetrated her heart and shot out from her ribs.
I don’t know whether I won or not... This was the last thought in Xia Mo’s mind before he fell to the ground.
After a few seconds, she woke up.
The ring on his right hand was glowing faintly, and a string of congratulations floated over his head.
[Successfully cleared the 40th floor of the Tower of Babel, current ranking: 1]
[Experience Point Reward +120,000, Gold Coin Reward +600]
[Climb 40 floors in one go and earn the title of "Non-Stop Tower Climber"]
[Non-stop Tower Climber: Permanently increase your maximum stamina by 20]
[Win the first place in the tower climbing 30 times cumulatively and get the title of "Brave Tower Climber"]
[Brave Tower Climber: Magic Attack/Physical Attack Permanently +6%]
That's right, a full 120,000 experience points saved her a lot of time on monster farming. School will start next week, and her time in the game will be greatly reduced after school starts. She will have no time to level up, so it's really the right time to climb this tower.
She needed both titles.
The upper limit of physical strength is just like [Constitution], which is extremely difficult to improve. Now she is rewarded with 20. In other words, it means that she can last at least 8 more hours without drinking physical strength potions.
As for the one that permanently increases attack, I won’t say much. Which player doesn’t like it?
Immediately get up from the ground and put on the title.
As for the glowing ring just now, Xia Mo rubbed it quietly. This was the dragon ring that exploded from the dark dragon Augustine. Thanks to its immunity attribute, she did not die after being hit by the neutron bomb.
When we came out of the tower, it was already dark outside.
Not forgetting the letter he picked up on the Holy Snow Mountain, Xia Mo shook his clothes and whistled.
Xiaoyi circled down from the sky and crawled at her feet.
"Get off the island."
She wanted to go back to the royal city to confirm whether what was said in the letter was true.
