“I’m ready.” Tang Muxin nodded and then listened carefully.

Avril immediately started explaining, “Everyone who enters the Tower of Trials will have their attributes set to one hundred points. You can bring one weapon that is scanned from the real world. You can use all the skills that you possess as well as any martial arts skills that you have learned.”

Tang Muxin was surprised. You could use all your skills? Martial arts as well? You could even bring in a weapon that was scanned in from the real world?

That was a good thing.

Before she came here, Tang Muxin knew that she was able to use her skills in here as she had come in as an elemental mage. However, she did not know that she could bring a weapon in. It seemed that she would have to go back and ask Dali to prepare a good weapon for his own use.

“Yes, okay. I understand.” Tang Muxin asked, “Anything else?”

“Yes.” Avril continued explaining, “There’s no limit to the number of times an individual can attempt the Tower of Trials. Every attempt costs five Galaxy Dollars. The reward for every level can only be obtained once. Once the level starts, the reward chest for the level will appear at the stairs. The reward for every level is different. The reward chests will always appear locked and the beasts guarding the level will drop the key. The level is considered completed when you have obtained the reward that is in the reward chest.”

It did not seem to hard to understand. Kill the beasts, get the key, open the reward chest, get the reward and complete the level. Simple.

“So,” after her introduction had ended, Avril finally asked. “please choose if you wish to hide your identity.”

“Hide.” Tang Muxin nodded.

She was an elemental mage, after all. Even if she did not manage to complete level twenty, she should be able to finish at least ten or more levels. She did not want people to be disturbing her every day in the future—Dali hated such troublesome things!

“Okay. Then, good luck!” When she had finished talking, Avril’s figure slowly faded out.

When she had completely faded out, numerous glowing green eyes slowly appeared in the huge doorways in the east, south, and west side of the cavernous arena.

Tower of Trials, the challenge begins!

Level one, one hundred ordinary-level beasts, Cold Crystal Dog!

“Okay, come on!” Tang Muxin licked her lips in anticipation. “It won’t hurt, anyway. If I lose, it’ll just be five Galaxy Dollars. I shall give it my best!”

As she spoke, she summoned an elemental ball and got ready!

In Li Nianwei’s room.

“It seems that these few levels are not very hard.” She looked at the huge needles poking up everywhere from the ground and smiled. “Luckily, I have seen the elemental mage Herazl in battle. My ability to control metals is actually quite useful.”

One hundred Cold Crystal Dogs were all skewered on the huge metal needle, looking like a meat kebab. The only thing missing was a fire…

“Well, let’s see what the reward for level one is.”

She walked elegantly to the key that had dropped in a corner and bent down to pick it up, her posture beautiful like a fairy who had descended from heaven. “It’s not like Earth here. We should all do our part and help Young Master. Hehe.”

She opened the reward chest.

Looking at the contents of the chest, Li Nianwei shrugged. “Okay, it seems that the reward for this level is not very interesting.”

The reward for level one was fifty Galaxy Dollars…

At the same time, on the other side.

Lucifer laid on the floor. His body was being eaten by a hundred Cold Crystal Dogs…

Although he had failed, Lucifer did not seem to mind at all. He was not in a hurry to get past the level. Anyway, there was no limit to the times he could attempt the level, he just had to pay another five Galaxy Dollars.

“Well, it looks like my curses don’t have much effect here.” A layer of skin had already been eaten up. Lucifer stroked his chin. “It seems I have to think of some other way to attack them.

“As a dark elemental mage, I should not be limited to using only curses to attack. If the Galaxy Virtual Network is able to encompass the entire galaxy, then, it must have a special way of transmitting information. If I can find the loopholes in this method of information transmission and combine it with my elemental mage skills…

“I think I might be able to develop a new attack…”

By this time, the Cold Crystal Dogs had started gnawing on his leg…

Lucifer continued to think. “Yes, according to the fundamental theory of the universe, in the universe, we usually only see only five percent of the matter present. The remaining twenty-five percent is dark matter, and seventy percent is dark energy. If the Universe Virtual Network uses dark energy for information dissemination, then they should already have greater control over dark energy. But that is obviously not the case now. They are still unable to easily exterminate the Zerg when they go up against them. The weapons they use are probably just particle guns, so they should not be using dark matter and dark energy to transmit information.”

The Cold Crystal Dogs started eating his innards…

Lucifer continued, “If they don’t use dark matter and dark energy, then, in order to transmit information throughout the entire Milky Way, there can only be one other way…

“Attractive force!

“In the universe, other than dark matter and dark energy, the only other thing that is everywhere is attractive force! Only attractive force exists everywhere. In the universe, from the biggest stellar systems and star fields to the smallest electron and molecule, there exists attractive force!

“Although I’m not sure how to transmit data using attractive forces, I’m sure if I find a loophole, I will be able to…”

The Cold Crystal Dogs started to eat his heart…

“Ah, okay. I admit defeat this time.” Lucifer waggled his eyebrows. “Let me go outside and do some calculations. Yes, yes…”

Another place, inside Dali Pawnshop.

“Hey, great Mister Gate.” Luo Qiang went up the stairs and looked at the old man who was lying on the bed snoring. He approached and poked at him carefully. “The Tower of Trials is open. You are a powerful man who is worth one hundred and twenty thousand Galaxy Dollars a month. You’re not going in to take a look?” The old man’s real name was New Gate. This was what Luo Qiang saw from the signature in the contract.

“It’s just a Tower of Trials, what do I want to go there for?” Mister Gate turned over. “Let me sleep for a while more…”

Damn! What would he want to go there for?!

“Honorary Aristocrat!” Luo Qiang shouted, “If you manage to pass level twenty, you can directly become a red-level Honorary Aristocrat! Aren’t you going to try? If you become an Honorary Aristocrat, will you still need to pawn yourself? You’ll have as much money as you want!”

Actually, that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that if he became an Honorary Aristocrat, he would not need to stay here anymore…

This was a great man who was worth one hundred and twenty thousand a month—the shop was small and, although the boss was not short of money, he was afraid that this great man might one day kill him with a kick. Just look at his size!

“What is the point of becoming an Honorary Aristocrat?” The great Mister Gate turned over and continued sleeping. “Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing important. I want to sleep some more.”

“Wha…” Comrade Luo Qiang almost died. Fortunately, Luo Qiang was very quick thinking. “That, great Mister,” Luo Qiang said slyly, “I heard that if you can get a good ranking, there’s wine! Good wine! When the time comes, just tell our boss and you can get whatever wines you want!”

“Oh?” As expected, when he heard that, great Mister Gate immediately woke up. “There’s wine? That’s not bad. Well, in that case, I will go in and take a look. Right, what level do I have to pass?”

“Level twenty!” Luo Qiang did not dare to state a level that was too high. “Level twenty will be enough. Definitely enough!”

“All right.” Master Gate slowly got off the bed and put on the virtual reality helmet. “I’ll go play a bit, then.”

Outside the Tower of Trials.

There were countless people outside the Tower of Trials looking up at the huge screen that was outside the tower.

These people were mostly those whose abilities were not that great. They were just here to experience the tower and have some fun trying to pass the levels. They were not too serious, as for them, getting past level twenty was completely impossible.

Ability was one thing, curiosity was another—they were unable to pass the levels, but they could still hang around and soak in the atmosphere!

“Hurry look, the name list has refreshed!”

“God, there are twenty-five people from our Shenluo City who have passed level sixteen! These people must be absolute geniuses. Their future is sure to be bright!”

“Yes, but it’s a pity no one has passed level seventeen yet. Level seventeen must be very hard!”

“That’s obvious. If it were not difficult, would there be so many good items as rewards in the Tower of Trials? I heard from a warrior friend of mine that the reward for level one is fifty Galaxy Dollars. Level two, one hundred. Level three, two hundred. Level four, four hundred. Level five, eight hundred! From level six onwards, it’s two thousand! That is followed by level seven, four thousand! Level eight, eight thousand! When you get to level nine, the amount is twenty thousand. Level ten, forty thousand! From then on, the rewards are all kinds of equipment and items. There are core gems for embedding, high-level equipment, and all kinds of accessories with special abilities! The rewards get better with every level!”

“Eh, yes. To be honest, the rewards are indeed very good. The first few are just average, but those later on are really good! Unfortunately, we are not skilled enough. Forget it, let’s just watch the show.”

“Yes, yes. Watch the show. At least get an eyeful. We can go inside to train when there is time in the future. Speaking of which, this is a really good place to train.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right!”

Level seventeen, in a room.

“You have failed this challenge. Will you continue by paying five Galaxy Dollars?” In the huge room, the angel Avril, who was flying in the air, asked a young man who was standing on the ground.

This young man had black hair and black eyes. There was a dark golden sword hovering around him. He was one of the seven people who had completed level sixteen and had opted to keep his identity a secret, Ye Feng!

His plan was simple—he would not make his information public until he passed level twenty!

“Continue the challenge!” Ye Feng’s eyes glinted with determination and he nodded.

“Ok.” The angel Avril said gently, “Level seventeen, one hundred city-level beasts—Spiritual Stone Horn Rhinos. Good luck.”

“Come!” Ye Feng licked his lips in excitement. “I killed twenty-six the first time. Twenty-nine the second time. Thirty-three the third time. The last time was the seventeenth time, and I killed eighty-four. My target this time, ninety!”

Spiritual Stone Horn Rhino, City-level beast. It had tough skin and a huge body which was almost three meters high! When it ran, the ground trembled. A timid person would be so scared he would not dare to move just from the sight of it!

It was crazy!

Soon, the trial began!

“Boom, boom—” A loud rumbling sound was heard and one hundred Spiritual Stone Horn Rhinos rushed out from the three huge doors, charging straight at Ye Feng. The loud rumbling sound instantly reverberated around the entire seventeenth level.

These one hundred Spiritual Stone Horn Rhinos had horns that shone with a metallic glint and blood-red eyes. When they started rampaging, even one single charge would be enough to smash Ye Feng into smithereens.

“Come!” As he watched the Spiritual Stone Horn Rhinos charging toward him, Ye Feng remained still, standing his ground calmly. He even licked his lips in anticipation. “I don’t believe I can’t get past this level today!

Somewhere else, the youth Gu Yan was seated on the ground, contemplating the battle he just fought.

“This herd of Spiritual Stone Horn Rhinos is hard to deal with because all they do is charge. Their skin is tough and their flesh thick, so normal attacks do not do much damage. However, if I were to use a stronger skill, I will be able to kill some, but that will cause considerable harm to myself.

“It’s so hard! This Tower of Trials is crazy hard!

“However, no matter how hard it is, I still have to conquer it! I’m almost there. If I just continue trying, I’m sure I can succeed!”
