Sub-Tower

Thinking of all this, Lin Mu let out a sigh of relief and did not challenge the Demon Cloud Tower.

For no other reason than that.

It's because he doesn't have enough points.

Although I earned several million points from previous missions.

However, this period of cultivation has also cost a lot.

There is still a considerable gap to reach the ten million mark.

Even if he had enough points, Lin Mu wouldn't want to take on the challenge, since he didn't know anything about what was going on inside the tower.

Going in like this could very well result in losing ten million points.

"Young man, do you want to challenge the Demon Cloud Tower?"

Just then, a man with a small mustache, wearing a baseball cap and dressed in a somewhat retro style walked towards them.

Lin Mu sized him up. From the school badge on his chest, he could tell that the person in front of him should be from Sacred Origin Martial School.

"Let me introduce myself. My Sun Hao. My surname is Sun, and my given name is Hao, which means 'ambitious and resolute.' I have been at this school for five years!"

"Although my cultivation level isn't anything special, I know this school extremely well. I'm a guiding light for you freshmen. If you make a deal with me, I guarantee you'll avoid a year of detours in this school!"

The man spoke with a smile on his face, his words flowing smoothly and persuasively.

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on his face.

He really wanted to find someone to learn about the Demon Cloud Tower.

"How did you make that deal?" Lin Mu asked.

"It depends on what you want. I'll give you the corresponding points based on the information you need. I have all kinds of information here, whether it's information from the Heaven Ranking, Earth Ranking, or Human Ranking, or even the preferences and habits of the school beauty. As long as you can afford the price, I can provide it!" Sun Hao boasted.

"How many points are needed for information about the Demon Cloud Tower?" Lin Mu asked.

"Which level do you need? The first level costs 100,000, the Second Floor costs 1 million, the Third Floor costs 5 million... The higher the level, the more you need!" Sun Hao explained.

Lin Mu's lips twitched slightly.

This man looks like a shrewd businessman, and he really is.

The information for just the first layer alone requires 100,000.

This price is not cheap at all.

"Brother, I know what you're thinking, but the Demon Cloud Tower is designed for the geniuses of the academy. Ordinary people wouldn't even bother to challenge it!"

"Moreover, the Demon Cloud Tower has a strong tempering effect on martial artists. It is more of a training experience than a challenge. If you do not know the situation, not only will you fail the challenge, but you may also perish inside!"

"The price I've quoted is already very reasonable!" Sun Hao explained.

Lin Mu's face showed a hint of contemplation. "I'm very curious, why does the Demon Cloud Tower challenge require so many points?"

"Is that even a question? The Demon Cloud Tower is an ancient Divine Artifact; just maintaining its operation requires an enormous amount of energy!"

"Students also need to consume energy to enter and train, and this energy is all pure silver. If it were open for free, it would bankrupt Sacred Origin Martial School in just one week!"

"These points are used to cover the operating expenses of the Demon Cloud Tower, and also to set a threshold so that people cannot easily take on the challenge!"

"Moreover, as long as the challenge is successful, the points will be returned at 1.5 times the normal rate, which is not a loss at all for a prodigy!" Sun Hao explained.

Lin Mu nodded slightly.

He did need to challenge the Demon Cloud Tower, but he still felt a little reluctant to spend 100,000 points directly on it.

He still planned to inquire about it himself first before deciding whether to buy it.

Sun Hao seemed to have read his thoughts, "How about this! I'll give you another piece of information first. It only costs 300 points, and it will help you challenge the Demon Cloud Tower in the future!"

"If you're interested, we can trade now!"

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment; three hundred points were nothing to him.

Nodding slightly, "Okay!"

Lin Mu operated his phone and transferred 300 points to Sun Hao's account.

Sun Hao smiled slightly, "Normally, we'll go to a certain place before challenging the Demon Cloud Tower!"

"This is the Sub-Tower, which is much easier than the Demon Cloud Tower. As long as you can clear the Sub-Tower within the time limit, you will have the opportunity to challenge the first floor!"

Sun Hao took out a small notebook and placed it in front of Lin Mu.

Lin Mu opened it, and there were densely packed words on it.

Upon seeing these words, his expression changed slightly.

Only then did he learn that there was a Sub-Tower a few hundred meters away from the Demon Cloud Tower, and that the Sub-Tower also had training effects.

The cost is only one-thousandth of that of the Demon Cloud Tower.

Many people train in the Sub-Tower before challenging the Demon Cloud Tower.

The notebook contains a comprehensive record of the Sub-Tower.

What is the first layer? What is the Second Floor?

After reading all this, Lin Mu's opinion of Sun Hao improved slightly.

Although this person charges a high price, the items are indeed practical.

Thank you!

"It's alright, it's all a matter of mutual consent. Besides the Demon Cloud Tower, I have a lot of information here, including information about a genius who recently emerged in our academy!"

"You can buy anything from me if you're interested!" Sun Hao said.

"Genius? What kind of genius?" Lin Mu asked curiously.

"A freshman who is said to have the potential to make it onto the Heaven Ranking is Lin Mu. He has become famous in just half a year since entering the university. He not only crushed the Recommended Student, but also gave the senior students a good beating!"

"If you're interested, I can sell you his information for just 1,000 points!"

"Including where he lives, what Martial Skill he's good at, and how to deal with him when you encounter him in the Virtual Combat Arena... I guarantee you'll get more than your money's worth!" Sun Hao said, patting his chest.

Lin Mu felt ashamed.

He's not out of his mind to pay for his own information.

However, he could also tell that this information broker did have some skill.

I've only been enrolled for a short time, and they're already selling my personal information.

"I'll go check out the Sub-Tower first!" Lin Mu said.

After saying that, he walked forward.

Sun Hao didn't care and walked towards another person.

As an intelligence broker, his daily work consisted of collecting and selling intelligence.

As for cultivation!

That thing, good enough is fine.

Where is the sweetest thing to do? Make money!

Following Sun Hao's directions, Lin Mu arrived in front of a High Tower.

Compared to the Demon Cloud Tower, this tower is like a giant compared to a dwarf.

The entire Tower Body is only a hundred feet tall, and the aura it emits is much weaker than that of the Demon Cloud Tower.

However, there were quite a lot of people here, and many of them walked inside after paying their points.

With the information given to him by Sun Hao, Lin Mu was quite familiar with the tower and walked towards the main entrance.

The Sub-Tower is inferior to the Demon Cloud Tower in every aspect, but it also has a variety of training methods within its Tower Body.

More importantly, three days inside the tower, one day outside.

This is why many people are willing to come here.

Unlike the Demon Cloud Tower, it poses no danger whatsoever; one can always retreat if one cannot endure it.

After paying the fee, Lin Mu walked towards the gate.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, an extremely dense Source Force enveloped him, and his figure seemed to enter another space.
