The Entrance Above Must Be Easy to Find
The fourth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Shen Beijun and his group had just finished hunting down a Fierce Beast BOSS. Everyone looked exhausted, and their lips were dry and white from the heat.
They look exactly like refugees from the African nation; where has the aristocratic air that came with their former noble family?
Shen Mumu wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly glanced at Shen Beijun's face, which looked angry but dared not speak out.
Ever since Shen Beijun woke up, he has been leading them to kill Fierce Beast and earn Points, giving them no time to rest.
After a day of hard work, the Points between them and the players from Zone 18 has widened even further!
There's simply no way to compare them.
No. 007 shook his head. The players from Zone 18 were hunting Fierce Beast bosses on the sixth floor, and their Points were sixteen times higher than theirs. This gap couldn't be closed by hard work alone.
Even if they work tirelessly day and night, the gap will only widen.
There's only one way to catch up with Zone 18: go up to the sixth floor and wipe out everyone in Zone 18!
However, after a whole day, they still hadn't found the entrance to the fifth floor, let alone the sixth.
No. 007 sighed inwardly.
"This competition is probably over."
"Young Master Shen! Those people from the Military District have gone up to the fourth floor," Player No. 008 suddenly spoke up.
"Really? How did you know?" Shen Beijun turned around, his eyes were dark-circled, and he looked several times more haggard than before.
Player No. 008 rolled his eyes inwardly. "It seems Shen Beijun has been blinded by hatred."
He inwardly scoffed, but outwardly, 008 put on a fawning smile.
"Young Master Shen, I just checked the Tower Floor Ranking Leaderboard saw that some people from the Military District have reached the fourth floor."
Upon hearing this, Shen Beijun snorted coldly and summoned the Leaderboard.
As expected, the Tower Floor Ranking have been updated. The nineteenth person on the Leaderboard is Player No. 178, Points 15 points.
The numbers following Player No. 178 are 179-200.
"They'll probably come to the Beast Zone to Points today, so keep an eye on them," Shen Beijun said in a deep voice.
"Shen Beijun, are you so sure that the people in the Military District can find the stairs to the fifth floor?" Yu Wanru asked.
"They definitely can!" Shen Beijun suddenly exclaimed confidently, "Ever since Jian Qingfeng reached the fifth floor, the Military District has been secretly searching for a location leading to the fifth floor during the annual Myriad Phenomena Platform competition."
"It's been so long, even if the Military District hasn't found the way to the fifth floor, they probably have a general idea of where it is. It's better than us finding it ourselves."
Shen Beijun lowered his eyes. Before he set off, his father Shen Long, had told him that the Military District had been searching for the entrance to the fifth floor.
Every year at the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition, Zone 1 always comes in first place.
This time, his father specifically instructed him that no matter what means he used, he must win first place.
If he is surpassed by the Military, his status in the family will plummet.
Shen Beijun opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
He must fight!
Originally, in the Cloud Sea, the Shen Sect's strength was evenly matched with that of the Military.
One side has a user with a Heaven-Tier Skill.
But recently, something happened in the Military District.
First, Zhou He created a Heaven-Tier Skill, and subsequently, many other people in the Military created Heaven-Tier Skill as well.
The Military's strength far surpassed that of the Shen Sect.
Now, with the Military at the height of its power, the Shen Sect's status in the game has plummeted, leaving them relegated to the status of mere quails.
If he can lead Zone 1 to first place in this Myriad Phenomena Platform competition, Shen Sect's situation will be better.
"I wonder if Father has found a user of God-Tier Skill."
Recently, players with Heaven-Tier Skill have been appearing in the game, and even players with God-Tier Skill, which are of an even higher rank, have emerged!
This is absolutely outrageous!
All factions are searching for the owners of these Heaven-Tier Skills, and that mysterious owner of the God-Tier Skill, hoping to use them for their own purposes.
Unfortunately, after searching for several months, I still haven't found one.
The Shen Sect's situation in <Cloud Sea> is becoming increasingly difficult. Only by bringing the owner of this God-Tier Skill into their ranks can they possibly fight against the current Military!
"Let's focus on winning first place in this Myriad Phenomena Platform competition first."
"Brother Shen," Qin Mumu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Those people from Zone 18 have already reached the sixth floor. Even if we follow the Military up to the fifth floor, we still can't catch up with them."
Normally, Qin Mumu wouldn't have poured cold water on Shen Beijun like that.
But she's too tired right now!
Despite the sweltering heat, they remained outdoors.
Qin Mumu felt that in that one day, she had endured all the suffering of her entire life.
The point is, what she said isn't wrong! So what if they went up to the fifth floor? If they can't find the entrance to the sixth floor, their Points still won't catch up with those people from Zone 18.
Although she didn't want to lose to Qin Muyu,... well, there was nothing she could do!
I'd rather just lie down and get second place; at least I'd be more comfortable that way.
"Shut up!"
Shen Beijun's fierce tone frightened Shen Mumu, who took a step back and shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
"What do you know? Even geniuses like us can't find the entrance, how could those trash from Zone 18 find it?"
Yu Wanru's lips twitched.
Are you crazy?! They've already found them, haven't they?
No one else spoke, only Shen Jiangyun stepped forward:
"Young Master Shen, what do you mean?"
I suspect that you only need to look for the entrance on the first four floors of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Once you get to the fifth floor, the entrance should be easy to find.
Back when Lord Jian Lord Qingfeng the Myriad Phenomena Tower, his level was still low. Although he reached the fifth floor, he didn't have time to look around much, which is why he couldn't find the entrance to the sixth floor.
Although the people in Zone 18 were weak, their levels were... passable. They used the Military Map to get to the fifth floor, and then discovered that the entrance to the upper levels was easy to find, which allowed them to quickly reach the sixth floor.
Shen Beijun thought he was a logical genius! How could he have thought of this?
The others' eyes lit up.
What Shen Beijun said...
That makes absolutely so much sense!
His explanation made everything make sense!
What's going on on the fifth floor? Basically nobody knows.
If someone from Zone 18 could get to the sixth floor, the stairs up must be easy to find!
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the team was no longer as gloomy as before.
In short, there's hope again!
"As long as we follow the Military up to the fifth floor, all the problems will be solved." Shen Jiangyun smiled.
After convincing himself, Shen Beijun felt less nervous than before.
He glanced at the sun and waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, let's find a cave to rest in for a while and wait for the Military to arrive."
"Congratulations to player Player No. 161 for clearing the Level 10 Special Secret Realm, Points 400 points, bringing their total dungeon Points to 500, currently placing them first on the Secret Realm Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work."
"Congratulations to player Player No. 161 for reaching the seventh floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, Points 64 points, for a total Points 127 points, currently Tower Floor Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work!"
Congratulations to Player No. 161 for Points 6023 points, currently Points first on the Overall Ranking. Other contestants, please keep up the good work!
The team's relaxed atmosphere, which lasted less than a minute, plummeted to freezing point again.
A wave of despair washed over everyone.
"It's over."
