Chapter 375 is not a bug.
The five of them climbed from the forty-sixth floor to the fiftieth floor.
Surprisingly, there was no announcement this time.
In the past, there would be announcements after they cleared each level, but today it was quiet.
Of course, Meng Qingyin never paid attention to these things. It was Lu Cheng who felt it was strange: "Have you guys checked the chat area? There's no announcement about clearing the level today. That's really strange."
Qin Jiu said disdainfully, "You don't actually keep an eye on the announcements every time you clear a level, do you? Lu Cheng, you're way too vain."
Lu Cheng suddenly felt a little guilty and weakly retorted, "I didn't! I just happened to open the chat area!"
Of course he paid attention to the announcement!
The reason is simple: Zhang Yan will see it too!
How could he possibly miss such an opportunity to shine in front of Zhang Yan?
Unfortunately, the system acted strangely today and didn't send any announcements, whereas previous announcements were always real-time.
I don't know what's wrong with me today.
Qin Jiu, of course, was unaware of Lu Cheng's ulterior motives, and shouted mockingly at him: "Vanity!"
Lu Cheng did not refute.
Meng Qingyin spoke up at the right moment: "Alright, go back and rest first, we'll continue this afternoon."
Although they wear breathing masks, which can largely block demonic energy, the breathing masks are not 100% effective at blocking demonic energy.
A very small amount of demonic energy will still be absorbed into the body. Because the amount is so small, you will only feel tired and there will be no other side effects. You will recover after a good rest.
The four had no objections, and they went back to their respective homes outside the tower to rest and recuperate.
In the afternoon, the five continued to grind the Magic Tower, reaching the sixtieth floor.
The monsters on this floor are no longer water-type monsters, but earth-type monsters, specifically demonized earth turtles.
This was the first time the five of them had faced an earth-type monster. They were not very familiar with the attack methods of the demonized earth turtle, and they found themselves in a tough battle for the first time.
This enormous, demonized earth turtle is adept at controlling the earth. It can manipulate the earth as a weapon, condensing it into earth balls to attack them unexpectedly, or it can manipulate the earth as a defense to withstand their attacks.
None of Meng Qingyin and her group's attacks hit the mutated earth tortoise; instead, they were injured by the earth balls. Don't underestimate these earth balls; they were as big as apples, solid, and very firmly packed. They hit them at an extremely fast speed, leaving bruises on their bodies with each blow.
Although it won't lead to disability, having multiple injuries can significantly impair mobility.
Of the five, only Meng Qingyin was in better condition, with fewer wounds, only a few in total.
This is due to the Spider Silk Cloak's skill, "Swift as the Wind."
She activated her skill proactively, moving as fast as the wind, and the clay ball couldn't even touch her.
However, the duration of [Swift as the Wind] is only one minute, while the cooldown time is five minutes.
During this five-minute cooldown period, she inevitably got hit by the clay ball.
Chen Leying and the other three were in much worse shape, with multiple bruises on their bodies from being hit by dirt balls.
Tang Mian couldn't help but curse loudly.
Lu Cheng wished he could skin the demonized earth turtle alive.
but……
They were helpless against the earth ball attack of the demonized earth tortoise.
In the end, the five decided to call it a day and go back to think of a plan to fight again the next day.
This time, there was still no announcement regarding their clearance.
Even the players in the chat area noticed that something was wrong.
Mu Shisheng: "Have you guys noticed that there haven't been any announcements about clearing levels in the Magic Tower lately...?"
Twilight Star: "Maybe the big shots are busy with other things lately and haven't been farming the tower yet."
Diyi: "But recently, besides playing the Magic Tower, there haven't been any other activities."
Yi Tuo Ba Ba Qi: "We don't understand the world of the big shots. Maybe they customized some props in the Magic Tower Shop."
Wooden Bumpkin: "Hehe, you guys really know how to make excuses for Mengmeng. The reason there was no announcement is that they couldn't keep up with the activity, what other reason could there be?"
Yunying, who loves cashew cookies: "Oh, judging from your tone, may I ask if you've reached the first level?"
Wooden Bumpkin: "Hehe, I don't expect to be featured in the announcements anyway, so why do you care which level I've reached?"
The paramecium who loves soda: "You want to show off, but do you have the ability?"
Old Mu: "The 'Sharing Fortune' team is recruiting! Our team has a dedicated tower-climbing squad and various high-level players. What are you waiting for? Join our team now!"
"..."
Lu Cheng privately messaged Meng Qingyin: "There hasn't been an announcement yet. Which part of the process went wrong?"
Mengmeng: "I don't know."
I am the lucky one (poor man's version): "Can't you communicate with 007? Why don't you ask 007 if there's a bug?"
Mengmeng: "Why are you so fixated on the announcement?"
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I just feel something's not right. Why is there no announcement for no reason? If it's really a system bug, then it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Maybe even 007 himself doesn't know this bug exists. You have to tell it so it can fix it."
Meng Qingyin thought about it and felt that what Lu Cheng said made sense.
If it really is a bug, we should remind 007, otherwise what if it affects its system values?
Mengmeng: "Okay, I'll mention it to 007."
She clicked the button to contact 007: "007, I think I found a bug. There are no announcements for clearing the Magic Tower. Please fix it as soon as possible."
007: "This isn't a bug."
Meng Qingyin was taken aback. Was it a bug?
007: "An announcement will only be made when players clear a new level of the Magic Tower."
Meng Qingyin asked in confusion, "Only players? Are there NPCs also farming the tower?"
After sending the message, she suddenly remembered something.
Yes, NPCs can also participate in tower raids!
Qin Feng and his group, and Qin Zheng and his group, didn't they go and clear the tower?
Mengmeng: "You mean, if an NPC clears the Magic Tower, there won't be an announcement?"
007: "That's right. Since they're not players, there won't be any announcements."
Meng Qingyin's heart sank.
In other words, there are NPCs farming the tower, and they are progressing faster than your own team!
But just a few days ago, there were announcements about their team clearing the tower.
How did that NPC team catch up with and surpass them in just a few days?
who are they?
Could it be related to the missing Ming and Qing dynasties?
Meng Qingyin had no clue.
She shared this in a small group chat.
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "I knew it! Why did there suddenly stop the announcements? Turns out someone beat us to it!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Why are those NPCs grinding in the tower? Do they get rewards? What floor have they reached yet?"
Mengmeng: "Do you think if the NPC team clears the Tower of Babel, we can leave this map?"
Chen Leying: "If the answer is yes, then we don't need to stop that NPC team."
I'm an unlucky person: "Yeah, as long as they clear the Tower of Babel, we can leave this map, so we definitely have to protect them."
Mengmeng: "But we can't be sure right now whether we can really leave this map after the NPC team clears the Tower of Trials."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "I think whether they can clear the level or not, it will have no effect on us. If they clear the level, it would be best if we could leave this map. If they clear the level and we can't leave, it won't affect us either. Let them be."
Mengmeng: "What if... Ming Qing is in that NPC team? If she really took the Three-Pointed Knife, what is she planning to do? What if what she's doing is contrary to our goals?"
