"You're the one who's trash!" Upon hearing Cain's words, the Miss Ke Family initially intended to say that, but then she suddenly pressed her head, frowning, and said:

"A voice is saying I don't have the Passage Right and that I should challenge it..."

"Ah, that's normal. That's how it is when you give birth in the Tower of Babel. Don't take the baby out of the building before it's strong enough to Combat Power, or it will be forcibly kicked out. Your situation is probably similar now. Once the countdown is over, just follow the prompts and fight your way up floor by floor. This is the sixty-first floor. Once you defeat the guardian of this floor, you can move freely around it. It shouldn't be too difficult for you."

As soon as Cain finished speaking, the Miss Ke Family vanished in a flash. Only then did Feng Xue breathe a sigh of relief, take out Gynomorphic Filter from her waist and put it in her pouch. The Arab-American girl with purple eyes in front of her also turned back into a normal young man.

"Where did you find such a great master?" Seeing Feng Xue take out a Phantom Object and put it away, Cain seemed to realize something and asked casually.

Feng Xue shrugged and said:

"You know the Ouroboros I encountered in the last world? It's the kind of creature that has the power to control destiny and restart civilizations. It trapped me with a single gesture."

"So you used information about Infinite City to make a deal with it?" Cain's tone was slightly helpless, but Feng Xue noticed he used the word "it," and suddenly became curious about how the Miss Ke Family was perceived by them. However, she didn't ask, but instead shook her head and said:

"No, I brought her here on my own initiative, in exchange for the continuation of the Weird Tale I created over there."

"Are you stupid?" Cain's face showed an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, but upon closer inspection, one would think that he was questioning whether Feng Xue was putting on a brave face.

Feng Xue responded to this in a seemingly casual manner:

"The Trait we got this time is quite special. Without the unique conditions of that world, it's practically impossible to reproduce this thing."

"I'm starting to wonder what outrageous Weird Tale you've come up with that you'd be willing to provoke such a being." Cain's face showed curiosity, but he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, just stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

"What!" Feng Xue's face broke into a smug, mischievous grin as she exclaimed in surprise, "How did you guess that I had condensed 'Single Character Authority'?"

"I didn't expect that... damn it!"

Cain's words were vividly translated into a string of profanities by the Tower of Babel, to which Feng Xue smiled without saying a word, but secretly made a note of it.

It seems that Cain, this old-school Weird Tale, had some understanding of the transcendence of "Single Character Authority".

As for why he could understand the name Feng Xue had chosen so casually...

It's definitely the "Common Language" of the Tower of Babel!

As long as you have a clear understanding of the meaning of the language you are speaking, even if you just meow, the other person will understand what you are saying.

Cain seemed to have been completely taken aback by Feng Xue's shocking revelation. He squatted in the corner, muttering things like, "Innate Supernatural Tale are indeed useless." Feng Xue was also somewhat bewildered, thinking to herself, "How can this veteran supernatural Weird Tale so fragile?!"

Then he saw the skin color of the young man, who originally had brown skin and distinct Arab features, suddenly begin to change.

It wasn't a fading or loss of saturation; rather, it seemed to have undergone a fundamental change. In just a few seconds, his skin had lost all color, becoming somewhat pale. This change instantly made Feng Xue realize something, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"You accepted the Supernatural Tale Entry from the progenitor of the vampires? So casually?"

"I've been hesitating for over a decade! If I hesitate any longer, I don't know how many more times I'll be exposed by guys like you! At least this Trait has a Single Character Authority!"

"Hehe..." Feng Xue didn't know whether she had helped him make up his mind or this guy was simply telling her, "What are you showing off for? I also have Single Character Authority." However, Feng Xue didn't care about that. Cain's Single Character Authority were either [sin] or [blood]. But if it was sin, he should have had it long ago. It should be the blood power of the progenitor of vampires.

Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel sorry for the Weird Tale led by the vampire with big breasts.

However, after Cain stood up, his skin returned to the brown color typical of desert tribes, making Feng Xue even more suspicious that he was acting.

However, Cain did not give him a chance to doubt, but instead frowned and said:

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen someone bring back Weird Tale from another world. Does Infinite City even accept Weird Tale from other worlds?"

"Isn't that obvious? We're all acquired Acquired Supernatural Tale who didn't ascend, and you're Old Fossils existed before the Infinite City even existed. Aren't we all outsiders to the Infinite City? What's the difference between coming out of the Tower of Tower of Babel, coming out of the gate of the real world, or coming out of the gate above the Garbage Dump?"

Feng Xue was quite puzzled by Cain's question. Cain seemed to ponder for a moment before nodding and saying:

"What you said seems to make some sense. By the way, now that you've obtained the Single Character Authority, are you planning to climb the ranks?"

"I don't have any plans in that regard yet. Well, I've realized I'm missing something. I need to gather the Weird Tale I want first, and then I'll challenge the higher levels."

"As long as you're confident, that's fine. I'm going back to familiarize myself with the new Trait." With that, Cain didn't give Feng Xue a chance to stop him and turned away, disappearing from Feng Xue sight.

Faced with Cain's elusive Ghostly Evasion, Feng Xue could only shake her head slightly. As soon as First Turn, her mind suddenly went blank.

"Grass!"

Although there was no actual attack, Feng Xue felt his brain process a massive amount of information in that instant. He reached into his waistband and pulled out the filter he had just put back, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Looking at the Miss Ke Family, now back to her usual self—a leather-clad Black Long Straight Hair- haired girl with a penchant for stimulating her own interests—he tried to forget the shock of that moment and said:

"It's done so quickly?"

"Hmm, it feels pretty simple. Every time the countdown ends, the voice tells me that I have gained the Passage Right through the challenge. I just climbed up one floor at a time like this. Speaking of which, you have to challenge houses here to get the Residence Right, right? I'll go challenge one first." The Miss Ke Family spoke so casually, but even without her Heart of Clear Water, Feng Xue could feel the smugness in her voice.

Feng Xue did not refute this, but simply pointed to several model apartments not far away and said--

"Those houses are all unoccupied right now. If you want to live there, just go and take on the challenge. By the way, I feel like you're quite enthusiastic about this?"

"Of course I'm enthusiastic! Try staying in a small room for a few years, and to me, that world is no different from that small room!" The Miss Ke Family said matter-of-factly, to which Feng Xue could only shrug.

"You're awesome!"

Don't you understand the terms "depth" and "breadth"?

The Miss Ke Family is a composite Omen Weird Tale that was created after a world swallowed all the Weird Tale. It regained its sanity under the power of time. It only accumulated in one world, but because of the numerous restarts, the depth of each ability was very high. It's like if you are reborn hundreds of times and you are studying mathematics, even if you don't have any achievements in the field of mathematics, your understanding of the related topics will definitely be very deep.

However, she was ultimately working in isolation, without anyone to talk to, so she lacked an understanding of the Weird Tale system, which is a lack of breadth.

Unlike Infinite City, which has a large number of undeveloped areas and a population that refreshes every ten days, Infinite City has accumulated a wealth of information in terms of breadth. Therefore, it has a good understanding of the formation of Weird Tale, the connections and mechanisms of terms, Trait, Tag, and other information. This is its breadth.

It's like being reborn hundreds of times, each time researching alone. Compared to a civilization with billions of people, all exploring at the cost of their lives, accumulating knowledge over decades, the depth of research might not match the research of one person over hundreds of lifetimes, but the breadth of knowledge would absolutely crush it.

Secondly, regarding the strength of Aoyagi Lantern, the Miss Ke Family...

How did you figure that out?

Putting aside the fact that these two are fundamentally incomparable, I haven't even quantified their abilities, okay?

If you insist on using the comparison that the protagonist can trick the Miss Ke Family, while Aoyagi Lantern dares to say she's waiting for the protagonist on the top floor, to argue that Aoyagi Lantern is stronger than the eldest daughter, then fine, you win.

The classic line is. "I can drive and kill Tyson, thugs can beat me to death, so thugs can easily kill Tyson, right?"
