"Take a break for a couple of days, I’ll introduce my junior sister to you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Divine Thief’s eyes lit up, but seeing the hamr in the big sister’s hand, he hesitated a bit.
Divine Thief, "Your junior sister, she doesn’t wield a hamr like yours, does she..."
Hamr Sister, "Don’t worry, she doesn’t use this."
Divine Thief, "That’s good..."
Hamr Sister, "The one I use is a dium hamr, she’s more talented than and uses a large hamr. Only at my master’s level can one use the ancestral super-large hamr."
Divine Thief, "?"
...
After watching this little act, Zhang Ze went to his family’s Little Deer Back Tea Shop next door and bought a pack of extra-large cups of juice, then headed to a specific room in the second-floor hall.
Before chatting with Jade Book Tower, Zhang Ze planned to find Bai Tao first.
If there’s no backdoor to take, then he would ride on others’ progress.
Anyway, honestly starting from the First-Layer was absolutely impossible. He promised the system to do tasks, but didn’t promise to start honestly from scratch...
The group currently climbing the highest level is led by Bai Tao and the Demon Race.
Bai Tao, Zhang Ze’s number one book fan, relied on her strangely high seniority and called many friends over from her hotown.
Very rich, very leisure type of people.
Ever since Loulou’s Illusion Realm officially opened to custors, this group of rich second-generation individuals has been hanging out here.
Yet, their obsession is not just indulging in diversion, but a not-so-filial yet quite righteous ideal.
They aim to beat their ancestors!
During the Ten Kingdoms Chaos, the Demon Race were insects and needed proper correction.
Although these events are based on distant past history, and the Illusion Realm is partly real and partly fake, their actions can’t change anything.
But every powerful strike is a reflection on themselves.
So, their actions have been supported by each family’s elders. If it weren’t for the agreent between High Tier Demon Race and Human Race, the elders would want to join the fun as well.
...
Just as Zhang Ze entered the room, he saw Bai Tao directing operations in the pub-style decorated VIP room.
"Miemie, go check your family tree. Our next target might be your ancestral grandmother who did so bad deeds during the Ten Kingdoms era."
"Which one to check? My family has two family trees, check the White Miemie or Black Miemie one."
A gray-haired girl with natural curls and a straight face asked earnestly.
Bai Tao, "?"
"Six hundred years ago, the Black and White families of the Miemie Race united into one. Otherwise, why do you think my last na is Gray," Gray Miemie explained.
"Ah, this..." Bai Tao pondered for a mont, recalling the scattered information gathered in the last scenario, "then check an ancestor nad Miemie like you."
"Everyone in my family is nad Miemie, which one to check?"
Bai Tao, "?"
"I an, you’re all Miemie, how do you call each other?"
"Although we’re all Miemie, the tones are actually different. In our family, we distinguish by pronunciation and middle na."
As she said this, Gray Miemie demonstrated 18 different ways of calling Miemie to Bai Tao and others, and ntioned that her full na is actually Gray Soron Miemie.
Bai Tao fell into deep thought, as this childhood friend she played with for a while, with her unique tradition from a distant family, gave her quite a shock.
Indeed, our Demon Race is unfathomable.
Zhang Ze, who had been listening for a while, gave a light cough at this ti and then magically sent the drinks to the table.
"I think the person you’re looking for might be a Black Miemie."
Having said that, Zhang Ze then recounted the little story he overheard in the hall, ntioning the ti and place.
Gray Soron Miemie curiously glanced at Zhang Ze, then took out her family’s thick genealogical record from her Storage Ring and started flipping through it.
"Teacher, what brings you to ?" Bai Tao asked, sipping on her juice.
After sitting down, Zhang Ze explained roughly what he was up to and asked Bai Tao how their progress was and what Jade Book Tower’s mood was like.
"Oh, that." Bai Tao pinched her ear a bit, "We’re over fifty layers now, but after..."
Bai Tao found it hard to explain, so she took out a notebook and handed it to Zhang Ze.
It turned out that starting from the Twentieth-Layer, those history-based segnts no longer progressed in chronological order.
They beca chaotic, the years jumbling out of sequence.
For example, the Twenty-first Layer was still the North County battle of the Ten Kingdoms era.
But by the Twenty-second Layer, it jumped to the Southern Border Witch Extermination of the Dongqi era.
After the Fiftieth-Layer, the chaos escalated further.
"Before the Fiftieth-Layer, though the years beca jumbled, the difficulty of each Illusion Realm still increased increntally, and Jade Book Tower provided relatively clear tasks.
"However, after the Fiftieth-Layer, Jade Book Tower no longer assigned tasks. Even the layers themselves beca random, and each person could only enter once a day," Bai Tao explained.
"Exactly," a Bird Demon uncle sipping a ginseng fruit juice said, "I’ve entered post-Fiftieth-Layer Illusion Realms twice."
The Bird Demon uncle started reminiscing while stroking his tuft of hair.
"Once was the Fifty-seventh Layer. Before I even understood what was going on, I was stabbed and killed."
"And in the Sixty-fourth Layer, I entered in the year 1783 of the Dongqi era. I was helping an old lady deliver a letter, and then I was escorted out of the Illusion Realm."
While Zhang Ze read the notebook and listened to Bai Tao and the Bird Demon uncle, he thought how the Jade Book Tower seed like it was about to fall apart.
"Is it so unstable? Won’t there be problems?" Zhang Ze asked.
