Heading to the Residential Area

After Hom left, Feng Xue thought for a moment, picked up her employee ID, and dialed Old Li's number.

"Hey, Xiao Feng, what's up? Are you planning to challenge the Tower of Babylon?"

Old Li's frivolous voice rang in her ears, slightly surprising Feng Xue, but considering the date, she didn't think much of it and said directly:

"I have a general understanding of the challenges. I'd like to ask you about the specific Residence Right challenges, and also whether there are any hidden features or hidden mechanisms in the guards on each floor."

"You'll know once you try it," Old Li said nonchalantly, seemingly not believing Feng Xue could succeed on her first try. However, considering that Feng Xue was the fastest-growing among his current investments, he still spoke up:

"There's not much to say about the guards. They won't die anyway. If you encounter one you can't beat, just admit defeat and try again. Even among the same type of guards, there will be different situations. For example, some archers use shortbows, while others use submachine guns. As long as you're skilled enough, you'll always be able to find one you can beat."

"After you get the [Passage Right], you can take a walk around that floor first. You might find someone renting a door. If you don't get the Residence Right in the end, renting a door directly is also an option. The price will be much lower than outside."

As for challenging Residence Right...

At this point, Old Li paused slightly, as if summarizing his points, and after about a minute, he finally spoke:

"There's really not much to say about this, since every homeowner is different. If you really want to find some tips, then if you can't beat them, just admit defeat immediately. In the right to Residence Right challenge, the homeowner can be resurrected, but the challenger can't. If you die, you're really dead. However, as long as you leave the challenge space, your injuries will still heal."

"Another thing is that each homeowner can only challenge one challenger per year. That means you can challenge each floor fifty times. Also, it's important to note that for every challenger you defeat, the homeowner gets one chance to refuse a challenge, and this refusal counts towards the number of challenges."

"So, if I'm rejected by a homeowner, I can't challenge him again this year?" Feng Xue frowned, feeling there were many loopholes in this explanation.

Old Li clearly understood his thoughts and affirmed:

"That's right. Some people hire others to rack up wins in order to gain the right to refuse, but no matter how much the reward is, it can't compare to the Residence Right the Tower of Babylon. So only those experts who plan to directly challenge higher levels will earn some extra money along the way, and even if they do, it won't be much. In addition, once you get the Passage Right to enter a higher level, you can't enter a lower level challenge, so you don't have to worry about high-ranking figures coming down to Fried Fish."

When Old Li said this, his tone was inexplicably melancholic. Feng Xue immediately realized that this guy might have gotten the Passage Right Weird Tale pass through higher-level groups, but his level dropped, leading to the awkward situation where he couldn't beat higher-level monsters and couldn't beat lower-level ones either.

Wisely, Feng Xue didn't continue the topic. She asked for some other details and, finding that what Hom had said was almost the same, she hung up the phone.

Having gained a general understanding of the so-called challenge, Feng Xue reorganized her equipment.

After more than half a year of accumulation, he had acquired quite a few Phantom Object. Although none of them were high-level items that could change his fighting style, there were some good items that could be used in specific situations.

After taking stock of these small items to avoid forgetting them when needed, he then packed up his main combat equipment.

He packed up all his non-combat items, such as expensive fountain pens, Alligator Wallet, and Peerless Martial Art, took out the used cards from the "graveyard," and carefully put them back in their place before putting on his main combat items again.

He was dressed in the Phantom of the Opera's Evening Gown, wearing the Boots of Silence (tucked inside his shoes), with the Blade of Suffocation in his right hand and the Disassembly Madonna in his left. The Bell of Absolution hung from his belt, and his face was completely covered by the Visage of Oath.

Hidden in his sleeve was an Unspeakable Rod-shaped Object he could access at any time.

Feng Xue carefully placed the final Gynomorphic Filter into the inside pocket of the dress, making sure it wouldn't fall out no matter what she did, before nodding in satisfaction. She then hung the consumables, which couldn't be quickly accessed due to their size, along with the waist pouch, on her belt.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection with its menacing purple flames, Feng Xue grinned slightly, feeling that this outfit would be more in line with the style of a greatsword.

"Even if we manage to get it working now, there probably won't be enough time to fine-tune it. Let's talk about it later."

Feng Xue abandoned her idea of continuing to cosplay Wang Ha and pushed open the door to walk onto the street.

I hadn't noticed it when I first came back from the Real World, but now it seems that South District is a bit too lively today.

However, those who survive in the Landfill Area are all burdened with some "sin," and under the deterrent effect of the [Visage of Oath], no matter how crowded it is, there will always be a wide road that is made way for them.

Feng Xue passed through the crowded streets like a returning queen, feeling a secret sense of satisfaction amidst the hushed silence.

He took out his employee ID and hailed a Rental Flying Vehicle. Before he could even speak, the driver said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Sir, you're planning to go to the Residential Area, right?"

"Hmm." Feng Xue's voice, after passing through Visage of Oath, took on a cold quality. The driver shuddered upon hearing this, but immediately started the engine and flew north.

Although the four Landfill Area are vast, they are mostly three-dimensional. The Rental Flying Vehicle had only been driving for ten minutes when it had already left the South District. Through the car window, Feng Xue saw many aircraft of various sizes traveling in the same direction. Only then did he truly realize how many Weird Tale were hidden in the South District.

The aircraft quickly landed on the street, and Feng Xue stepped out of the cabin, her expression becoming subtle.

There was still some time before midnight. Although the area wasn't densely packed, there were quite a few people of various shapes and sizes standing around. This reminded Feng Xue of the scenes of crowds Garbage Dump the small Landfill Area on Garbage Day.

However, unlike ordinary flames, in Feng Xue's eyes, they could see clusters of flames of different colors.

"Are these their Supernatural Tale Entry?" Feng Xue switched her gaze to the identification page of the Golden Finger, where various kinds of information immediately appeared on the flames.

But just as he narrowed his eyes, preparing to read, a chilling gaze sent a shiver down his spine. He then noticed that the Weird Tale Trait was reading was staring at him with a warning look.

Although she didn't know if the other party had an exceptionally high level of perception or if all Weird Tale possessed similar powers, Feng Xue stopped looking around and instead focused her mind, beginning to observe with a normal perspective.

The so-called Residential Area was surrounded by walls that weren't too high, and it looked no different from a high-end community in reality. In front of the retractable gate stood two strange Weird Tale whose bodies were also burning with "flames." Judging from their inhuman appearance, they were probably some kind of supernatural Weird Tale.

Time passed second by second, and more Weird Tale gathered from afar. Soon, the number of people near the South Gate had reached nearly a thousand. In addition to the Weird Tale, one could occasionally see some people who had not yet been able to condense their flames. These were probably the strange tales that were trying to enter through the trial.

"I don't know if they're confident they can beat the Weird Tale, or if they're simply looking to rent a door cheaply..."

Did I not write it clearly? Ten floors form a group; once you obtain Residence Right, you can move to the next group.

1-10 is a group

11-20 is Group 2

21-30 are three groups

If you obtain Residence Right on any floor in Group 1, you can jump directly to Group 2 and start fighting from floor 11. Is that hard to understand? Why do some people think that having Residence Right on floor 3 allows you to directly challenge floor 31?
