"Respected Mage, welco to the challenge of the Endless Tower."
The mont Lin Yi entered the Endless Tower, he heard a voice that was incredibly familiar to him.
Ibayel Diuli Lv???
Guardian of the Endless Tower
A stooped, very aged old woman.
In the previous life, people liked to call this old woman the Guardian, including Lin Yi.
It wasn’t for anything else, but because of her power!
This was a terrifying existence known in the ga as the only NPC capable of instantly killing players who reached godhood status.
The interior of the Endless Tower is a vast space as large as a soccer field.
At this mont, Lin Yi stood at the very center.
In front of Lin Yi was the mysterious and powerful Guardian, who was also the only NPC issuing quests inside the Endless Tower.
She was the NPC all players would see upon entering the Endless Tower.
In the previous life, Lin Yi didn’t find this strange, assuming it was just a virtual character ’copied’ and ’pasted’ by the system.
But looking at it now, things might not be as simple as they seed.
Because up to now, Lin Yi could already distinguish between indigenous people and system NPCs at a glance.
Whether they were an NPC or an indigenous person, you could tell just by looking at their eyes.
Though system AI NPCs could be very realistic, the look of weariness from enduring hardships and wisdom revealed in their eyes couldn’t be simulated by system NPCs.
The mont he saw the elder, Lin Yi paid the highest courtesy on the continent, bowing respectfully:
"Greetings, Guardian."
However, the old woman didn’t even blink at Lin Yi’s actions, maintaining her usual expressionless deanor:
"Are you ready to start the challenge now?"
Lin Yi wasn’t bothered by the old woman’s reaction.
Every absolute master has a bit of this or that kind of personality.
Lin Yi was confident in his own speculations.
But since she wasn’t bothering with him now, Lin Yi was in no rush; after all, there were many days ahead.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi quickly nodded and said:
"Yes, starting the challenge now, thank you."
The old woman still expressionlessly replied:
"Alright, please get ready."
When the old woman said start, the surrounding scene changed, replaced by dense groves of ancient trees.
At this mont, Lin Yi stood on a five-ter-high platform surrounded by about ten ters of open space.
Upon seeing the surrounding environnt, Lin Yi already knew what the first layer’s challenge mission was.
Still, Lin Yi glanced at the challenge content:
[Endless Tower Challenge Layer 1]
Task Requirent: Eliminate 100 Grey Wolves: 0/100.
Fixed Reward: Rare Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20×1; Gold Coins ×5.
Star Level Random Reward ×1: Epic Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20; Gold Coins ×10; Rare Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20; Ordinary Equipnt Lv20; Gold Coins ×1 (The higher the star rating, the greater the chance of receiving a high-level reward).
Star Level Requirent: ★★★ (Perfect): Complete within 10 minutes; ★★ (Excellent): Complete within 20 minutes; ★ (General): No ti limit.
Seeing the task content, Lin Yi thought: As expected, just as I thought.
Then Lin Yi clicked: [Start].
When Lin Yi clicked [Start], the bushes around him imdiately began to rustle.
Following was a chorus of howling wolves approaching, and in monts, the platform was surrounded by a dense pack of grey wolves, all with fierce eyes.
As the first layer of the Endless Tower, the task is relatively simple, basically stand and attack.
If you don’t care about the star rating, you could stay here for a day until the task is completed.
But with Lin Yi’s current damage, these grey wolves with just 800 health each can be wiped out instantly with one Arcane Burst.
In less than two minutes, Lin Yi t the task requirents, feeling no pressure at all, very relaxed.
When Lin Yi submitted the task, besides the fixed reward, he also received a random reward of 10 gold coins.
As for that epic equipnt reward, Lin Yi had never hoped for it from the start.
Even if the dungeon star rating reached the highest three stars, the probability of getting epic equipnt would only be 5%.
With Lin Yi’s own luck of an ’African face,’ he never dared to expect to get the best from such probabilistic things.
If you only got one star, the probability is 0.5%, and those who could get it must be favored by the Goddess of Fortune.
By the way, once a layer of the Endless Tower is cleared, it cannot be re-challenged.
This puts an end to so people’s idea of farming equipnt here.
After completing the first layer’s challenge task, the old woman’s voice rang in his ear:
"Continue the challenge?"
Though he couldn’t see her, Lin Yi still respectfully replied: "Yes, continue!"
Then there was no change in the surroundings, rather Lin Yi’s task was updated:
[Endless Tower Challenge Layer 2]
Task Requirent: Obtain a rare material, Sharp Wolf Fang 0/1.
Fixed Reward: Rare Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20×1; Gold Coins ×8.
Star Level Random Reward ×1: Epic Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20; Gold Coins ×15; Rare Equipnt for Current Profession Lv20; Ordinary Equipnt Lv20; Gold Coins ×2.
Star Level Requirent: ★★★ (Perfect): Complete within 25 minutes; ★★ (Excellent): Complete within 50 minutes; ★ (General): No ti limit.
The grey wolves cleared earlier reappeared and scattered throughout the surrounding woods.
Upon seeing this task, Lin Yi almost laughed out loud.
Due to his ability to see through, the task originally testing luck most, beca the simplest task for Lin Yi.
At this mont, all the grey wolves bore an illusory shadow of a wolf fang, though they all mainly carried white wolf fang materials.
White materials are ordinary, naturally not what Lin Yi needed.
Where Lin Yi’s gaze reached, there was no sight of blue.
If not for his special ability, Lin Yi might have had to spend a lot of ti killing each one here until acquiring the rare wolf fang.
But now Lin Yi could skip all that hassle and directly mount Nightmare.
Nightmare flapped its wings and soared.
Sitting on Nightmare, Lin Yi had a clear view of the situation below.
In no ti, he found the ’protagonist’ hidden under a tree, looking indistinguishable from other grey wolves.
An Arcane Missile hit the target, and the grey wolf fell dead, dropping the "Rare Wolf Fang" Lin Yi needed.
As Lin Yi controlled Nightmare to land and joyfully picked up the rare wolf fang, the perpetually expressionless old woman let out a soft "Hmm."
At that mont, Lin Yi held the rare wolf fang: [Submit Task].
This ti, after receiving the fixed rewards, Lin Yi drew a rare equipnt from the random rewards as well.
For Lin Yi, clad entirely in epic or legendary equipnt, these rare items’ only use was to exchange them for so gold coins.
However, if the attributes were superb, Lin Yi would still choose to keep them in his bag, just in case.
After completing the task in under a minute, Lin Yi thought of a classic phrase: "Who’s next!"
"Hehe~"
Suddenly, the old woman’s voice rang again: "Continue?"
Lin Yi instinctively replied:
"Of course, continue!"
But as soon as he spoke, he realized sothing was off; the old woman’s usually monotonous tone had changed!
Yet by then, Lin Yi found himself atop a vast ocean.
Seeing the three-headed giant beast at its center, Lin Yi exclaid in shock:
"Whoah, what’s going on here."
