Black General and Handsome Guy waved to Lycia, Ellie, and Luna in a friendly manner. Upon seeing this, Chen Ping introduced them gently: "Yes, Lycia, Ellie, Luna, come and get acquainted. This is my good friend and the person in charge of the black market—Black General. This is his younger brother, Handsome Guy. They are both very reliable partners."
After Chen Ping introduced Hei Dashuai and Xiaosage, he immediately introduced the three girls: "This is my lovely sister Licia, this is the gentle Ellie, and this is the beautiful and generous (actually a bit silly) Luna. They are all my family and companions."
After exchanging greetings, Lycia, driven by curiosity, widened her eyes, which sparkled with excitement, and asked, "Brother Black Handsome, Brother Handsome, did you really emerge from eggs?" This question made the atmosphere even more relaxed and pleasant.
After hearing Lycia's answer, Black General laughed and replied, "So you are Lycia. That's right, we Egg Clan are indeed egg-shaped, and each Egg has a different origin and ability. And you, little one, it seems you are an Elf?"
Lycia: "Da da, that's right, Lycia is an elf, a contracted elf, uh, no, an origin elf, we've evolved."
"Oh right, right, Ellie is a mermaid, and Luna is a mermaid too."
Blackie and Handsome both smiled. Mermaid? You can tell just by looking at her tail. But Luna's fish skirt is a bit too big, quite different from the mermaids they've seen before.
With the arrival of Lycia and her friends, the atmosphere of the conversation became more relaxed and pleasant. In particular, Lycia's innocent and curious questions kept Blackie and Handsome Guy busy, and they were occasionally amused by her quirky questions, creating a harmonious and lively scene.
However, faced with Lycia's barrage of questions, Blackie and Handsome couldn't help but feel overwhelmed, but they still patiently answered them one by one, enjoying this simple and happy time.
Lycia asked curiously, "Big Brother Blackie, Big Brother Handsome, do you have egg whites in your food? Do you have egg yolks?"
Well
Chen Ping couldn't help but twitch his lips. How could Lycia ask such a question? Wasn't that presumptuous? Although he was quite curious himself.
Black General hadn't thought that far ahead. In response to Lycia's question, Black General replied, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Lycia, our Egg Clan doesn't have that kind of thing. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Lycia blinked and continued, "So, Brother Blackie, is it empty inside? Will you bleed?"
Lycia's problems are increasingly bizarre, leaving both Black General and Handsome Guy feeling exhausted.
Finally, Chen Ping couldn't stand it anymore and simply picked up Lycia and held her in his arms to calm her down. The noisy scene finally quieted down. Black General and Handsome Guy breathed a sigh of relief, while Lycia blinked her big eyes in Chen Ping's arms, seemingly wanting to ask more questions.
Chen Ping affectionately pinched Lycia's little cheek, then changed the subject, asking Black General, "Speaking of this, when I was in the Pantheon, I once saw a divine arena. I heard that those divine projections all came from the Divine Tower. Black General, do you know the specific origin and details of this Divine Tower?"
Hei Dashuai was slightly surprised after hearing this: "Oh my, I didn't expect you to have come into contact with this God Tower. The so-called God Tower is officially called the God Challenge Arena Tower, usually simply called the God Tower. It is a challenge venue designed specifically for gods at the God King level and above. Only gods who have reached the corresponding strength can attempt to climb the tower."
He further explained, "Challenging the Tower of Gods does indeed offer generous rewards. You'll receive the corresponding reward for each floor you clear, but you can only claim each floor's reward once, and you won't get it again if you challenge the same floor repeatedly. Challenging the Tower of Gods is more about training and improving your own strength."
Hei Dashuai recalled: "I remember that no one has ever actually climbed to the top of the Divine Tower. The highest record seems to be 729 floors. Many people speculate that the Divine Tower may have a full 1,000 floors, but these are just guesses, since no one has been able to reach the top to verify it."
After listening, Chen Ping nodded with interest and asked, "So, where exactly in the core sea area is this divine tower? I'd like to see it for myself."
Black General responded, "The divine towers are actually quite widely distributed in the core sea area. There is not just one, but about a hundred. They are evenly distributed in all the challenge sea areas for gods who meet the requirements to take on the challenge."
Chen Ping frowned, puzzled by the name "Challenge the Seas": "Challenge the Seas?"
Black General nodded and explained, "Yes, it's in certain specific sea areas. When you step into them, if other gods challenge you, you can't refuse. Furthermore, the defeated party has to pay the winner a certain reward."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this tantamount to forced robbery? And there's absolutely no way to escape it."
Upon hearing this, Black General laughed a few times and admitted, "You could say that. In many people's eyes, the Challenge Sea is like a sea teeming with bandits. Once you enter, you can't escape the fate of being challenged."
However, to slightly alleviate the pressure on the challengers, the loser will not be challenged by anyone else for a day after being challenged, which is a small consolation for them.
Of course, losers can choose to challenge other losers, and if they win, their temporary protection will disappear. However, if two losers duel, the winner will still lose protection and may be challenged by others at any time.
Chen Ping understood the rules of the challenge area from the Black General. He pinched Lycia's little face again, thinking to himself that at least a period of protection would be a buffer.
After being pinched, Lycia wrinkled her little nose, puffed out her cheeks, and cleverly let Chen Ping's hand slide over. Then she quickly covered her face with both hands, stubbornly saying, "Hmph, it doesn't hurt!"
Chen Ping didn't pay attention to these things, but continued to learn more about the special sea area of the core sea area from Hei Dashuai: "It turns out that the special sea area of the core sea area really does have unique rules."
Unlike the special sea areas in the advanced sea areas, which have almost no special rules, the Abyss Sea and the Holy Sea have more significant special rules. Chen Ping showed interest in these unique rules, hoping to learn more about the secrets of the core sea areas through Black Commander.
