The Endless Tower, as the na suggests, is a mysterious tower of unknown height.
In the previous life, the top-ranked player only reached the 89th floor.
As for Lin Yi, he only managed to climb to the 41st floor before he could go no further.
Each floor of this towering structure corresponds to a separate instance, and only by passing the instance’s test can one progress to the next floor.
The content of the instance adjusts according to profession.
Each floor can be challenged repeatedly without limit until it is conquered.
However, once a floor is cleared, it cannot be challenged again.
The rewards for passing each floor are divided into fixed rewards and random rewards based on instance completion.
A fixed reward is earned as long as the instance test is passed.
The other, random reward is drawn based on performance in the instance.
The higher the completion rate of the instance, the greater the chance of receiving an excellent reward.
But these are not the most important aspects.
The most crucial point is:
The Endless Tower’s instance rankings are determined by the levels that players challenge.
The higher the level challenged, the higher the ranking.
For those on the sa floor, rankings are based on who completed it first.
The Endless Tower can be considered as a significant prelude instance before the opening of national wars.
Because at this ti, the Endless Tower’s rankings will no longer be limited to players from the Hua Country District but will face all players worldwide.
What stuck in Lin Yi’s mory was that when the Endless Tower instance first opened in the previous life, the entire vast Hua Country only had three people on the top 100 rankings.
And among the top ten, for over half a year, not a single na of a Hua Country player appeared.
As a result, the Hua Country was ridiculed by players worldwide as the "Eastern Dwarfs."
This voice only diminished significantly a year later when Shengshi Drunkard squeezed into the ninth rank.
Even so, the fact that the country with the most players, the Hua Country, only secured a ninth-place spot was still considered a disgrace by many players.
Until Lin Yi’s rebirth, that ranking never shifted.
If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow the ga’s official forum will update a new section, which will be:
[Global Forum].
At that ti, only players maintaining a top-100 ranking in the Endless Tower for 12 hours can post and comnt on articles in this section.
Those not eting the requirents will only have browsing privileges.
This will then beco the "main battlefield" where nations confront each other before the national wars.
Due to so historical reasons, the Hua Country will also be the primary target of focus, subjected to insults from all sides.
But even so, the vast difference in strength ant there was no ability to resist.
In the previous life, Lin Yi only felt it was due to our lack of strength and skill.
However, looking at it now, it is clearly a conspiracy against the Rafam Continent.
And as the Huaxia District happened to be located in the vast Rafam Continent, it naturally beca the primary target.
Lin Yi thought this because, during the Demon Race Invasion, several countries behaved very oddly after the invasion.
That feeling wasn’t that of enemies but more like allies?
At this mont, Shengshi Drunkard suddenly ca to Lin Yi and said:
"Let’s go."
According to the agreent, today was the day Lin Yi promised to help Drunkard complete that unknown task.
Yet unexpectedly, the Endless Tower updated at this ti.
However, judging by Drunkard’s deanor, he clearly had no intention of giving up on this task.
This was just as Lin Yi had thought.
The Endless Tower has just co out, and everyone is still exploring its chanics and everything else.
Even the rankings will experience significant fluctuations, which will stabilize in a few days.
By then, whatever task Drunkard had would have been completed long ago.
Moreover, Lin Yi was also very curious about what kind of task would trouble Drunkard.
However, Shengshi Drunkard wasn’t thinking as much as Lin Yi.
He chose to complete the task first because it was evidently more important than the newly released instance.
After all, the instance wasn’t going anywhere, and completing this task would greatly enhance his strength, making the choice obvious.
But when Lin Yi saw the task information shared by Drunkard, he was still struck by the task’s content.
Because Lin Yi didn’t expect it to actually be this task:
Sankalo’s Commission.
Task Level: Unique
Task Restriction: 12 people
Task Requirent: Head to the Giant Peak Mountain Range outside Black Tortoise City, search for Sankalo’s benefactor Divit, and safely bring him back to Sankalo’s residence in Black Tortoise City.
Task Hint: The Giant Peak Mountain Range was once the territory of the Cyclops clan, extrely dangerous. Find the wandering traveler Gus hidden in the mountains, who might provide further clues.
Seeing Lin Yi’s grave expression, Shengshi Drunkard couldn’t help but curiously ask:
"Feng Hua brother, is there so problem with this task?"
Settling the turmoil in his heart, in order not to reveal too much, Lin Yi could only say:
"Isn’t this Sankalo a down-and-out tailor in the residential area of Black Tortoise City?"
The drunkard looked at Lin Yi in astonishnt, sowhat incredulous, and said:
"How do you know that?"
It’s no wonder the drunkard reacted this way.
One must know that in a main city, there are nearly a thousand functional NPCs alone.
It’s already impressive if soone can rember all these NPC nas.
And aside from functional NPCs, there are ordinary NPCs who number in the tens of thousands.
Shengshi Drunkard wouldn’t think that Lin Yi would bother to rember those NPC nas just for fun.
Moreover, if it weren’t for triggering a task, this so-called Sankalo might not even be as good as an ordinary NPC.
Who would specifically pay attention to such an unnoticed ordinary NPC?
Therefore, when Shengshi Drunkard heard Lin Yi say this, he reacted so intensely.
Seeing the strange look in the drunkard’s eyes, Lin Yi had to calmly say:
"If I tell you I heard about this Sankalo from the Cyan Dragon City Lord, you probably won’t believe it,..."
But to Lin Yi’s surprise, before he could even finish, Shengshi Drunkard confidently said:
"I believe you."
"Uh~"
Looking at Shengshi Drunkard’s utterly convinced expression, Lin Yi was stunned, thinking: Do I still need to say the words I prepared?
After being stunned for a mont, Lin Yi let out a dry laugh, pretending to be calm, and said:
"To be honest, I did hear so things about Sankalo once by chance from Babylon. But at that ti, I just heard it as a story, so I didn’t pay special attention."
"However, I didn’t expect to actually encounter this task related to her today."
Looking at the drunkard’s serious face, Lin Yi said:
"I guess you’ve completed this task before, so I won’t waste words on how difficult it is."
Finally, he asked:
"If you want to help you complete this task, I must be the team leader, and everyone, including you, must follow my arrangents. Can you do that?"
Upon seeing this task, Lin Yi already knew what kind of task it was.
Because in the previous life, this task was also triggered and completed by Shengshi and his team.
But Lin Yi heard then that Shengshi received this task at level 20, and when they completed it, Shengshi Drunkard was already level 35.
This huge span already clearly shows the complexity and difficulty of this task.
Because of this, when Shengshi Drunkard exposed the task details, it caused quite a stir at the ti.
People were not only shocked by the difficulty of the task itself but more by the generous rewards it offered.
The fact that it could garner such attention from Shengshi Drunkard likely ans one of the rewards, the hidden profession: Giant Berserker.
In the previous life, because at that mont Shengshi Drunkard already had the hidden profession of War Knight, he was not so eager for the task.
But in this life, because of Lin Yi, what originally belonged to the Drunkard, the War Knight, was taken by stable as a mountain.
Having finally encountered a hidden profession related to close combat, the Drunkard couldn’t help but be attentive, even seeking Lin Yi’s help when he couldn’t complete it himself.
As for that hidden profession, Lin Yi didn’t have too many thoughts, but rather one of the task’s side quests gave Lin Yi in this life a special idea.
In the previous life, Drunkard aid to complete the task and claim rewards, so he did not choose to complete so side quests but directly skipped them.
If Lin Yi in this life hadn’t experienced so much, he probably wouldn’t think there’s anything wrong with this, either.
After all, generally, side quests not only offer fewer rewards but are also troubleso to do, and for many people, doing side tasks is a waste of ti.
But now, Lin Yi keenly sensed that those side quests once skipped by Drunkard must have hidden secrets about the Cyclops race.
As one of the Hundred Races, until the Demon Race Invasion in the previous life, there’s been no information about the Cyclops race.
Lin Yi strongly suspects, is it possible they missed the only chance to revive the Cyclops race because of Drunkard’s task?
And now the answer to this matter is in his own hands.
In response to Lin Yi’s requirents, Shengshi Drunkard put forth his own demands, saying:
"We can follow your lead, but in the end, I must be given the priority to choose one of the rewards."
Lin Yi smiled:
"No problem."
Shengshi Drunkard:
"Then shall we go now?"
Lin Yi thought for a mont,
"You guys go wait for at the West City Gate of Black Tortoise City, I’ll prepare so things first and co over in a bit."
After bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Yi directly went to Cyan Dragon City to find Babylon, and straightforwardly said:
"Help get an introduction to the City Lord of Black Tortoise City, as long as it’s not about marrying your daughter, na your terms."
Upon hearing this, Babylon rolled his eyes:
"Scram."
