Up the Tower Again

A flash of red light appeared, and a green chain hook grabbed the body of Fierce Beast not far away. Shen Beijun pulled hard, and the Fierce Beast was torn apart.

The chain hook, as a weapon, is inconsistent with Shen Beijun's usual elegant image and appears somewhat brutal.

Qin Mumu's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this, and his previous feelings of affection vanished instantly.

"Young Master Shen!" Player No. 008 ran over from a distance, a joyful expression on his face.

Shen Beijun's originally sinister gaze sharpened. "Could it be?"

Putting away the chain hook, Shen Beijun patted his clothes, regaining his usual gentle expression.

Unfortunately, after several days of traveling and relentless hunting of Fierce Beast, Shen Beijun now looked disheveled and could no longer recapture his former elegance.

"How is it going?" Shen Beijun glanced north and lowered his voice.

Those people from the Military District are hunting Fierce Beast in the north to earn Points.

When the Military District personnel came earlier, Shen Beijun met them and greeted them.

The Military District selected a northern area to hunt Fierce Beast, Shen Beijun immediately sent 008 back to secretly observe their actions.

Sure enough, a short while later, a seven-man squad from the Military District left the Beast Zone, and 008 immediately followed them.

It took me half a day to get back.

When the others in Zone 1 saw 008 return, they all gathered around him.

"Found it! They found the entrance to the fifth floor!" 008 said in a low voice, unable to hide his excitement.

"Young Master Shen's guess was spot on! Those people in the Military District really did have a map. I followed that seven-man team, and they found the entrance to the fifth floor in just half a day."

Shen Beijun didn't show it on his face, but he was incredibly excited inside!

God knows what he's been through these past two days! He's so afraid of being surpassed by Zone 18, he's almost driven to the brink of illness by anxiety!

"Are you sure?" Shen Beijun asked impatiently.

"I'm sure those seven people were incredibly excited after finding the entrance, shouting that they'd been searching for so many years and had finally found it!" 008 said with a broad smile.

If they can't find the entrance to the fifth floor, they won't even last seven days to leave the Myriad Phenomena Tower; they'll be tortured to death by Shen Beijun!

"Great! Once we get to the fifth floor, we'll be able to catch up with the people from Zone 18!" Qin Mumu said happily.

The players in Zone 1 are now thinking that once they get to the fifth floor, the stairs after that are easy to find.

"That's right! Once we get to the seventh floor and wipe out that bunch of trash from Zone 18 and Ye Changge, we'll not only get first place in this competition, but we'll also become the only Novice Village to break records in this year's Myriad Phenomena Tower!"

A glint of malice flashed in Shen Jiangyun's eyes, and she emphasized the word "only".

Shen Beijun was amused by his words, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's talk about these things on the fifth floor." Shen Beijun glanced again in the direction to the north where the Military District was located.

008 immediately understood, lowered his voice even further, and said, "Young Master Shen! I rushed back as soon as I heard their conversation. The Military District team should still be on their way; they haven't returned yet."

The meaning of 008 is quite clear: those in the Military District who were earning Points are unaware that the team they dispatched has already found the entrance to the fifth floor.

"Well done." Shen Beijun rarely praised him, his tone much gentler. "Xiao Peng, lead the way. Let's set off now and try to get to the seventh floor before those people from the Military District, so we don't run into trouble later."

Although no one would care if someone killed someone Myriad Phenomena Tower, these things still needed to be done discreetly, as being seen by others would inevitably cause trouble, especially if seen by officials.

Shen Beijun wants to eliminate the people in the Zone 18, so he must avoid the Military District forces and go up to the 7th floor.

"Walk."

Having found the entrance to the fifth floor, everyone in the team finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before.

But just then, the ethereal broadcast voice rang out again.

"Congratulations to player Player No. 171 for reaching the eighth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, Points 128 points, for Points total of 255 points, currently ranking first on the Tower Floor Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work!"

Congratulations to player Player No. 171 for achieving Points 6151 points, currently Points first on the Overall Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work!

The relaxed atmosphere in the group suddenly froze.

Eight floors!

A wave of despair washed over Yu Wanru suddenly felt a little dizzy.

You should know that their plan before coming to Myriad Phenomena Platform was to go up to the seventh floor.

Eight floors! They hadn't even considered that!

Those people from Zone 18 actually made it to the eighth floor!

Are they out of their minds? They're so quick to court death!

The creatures on level eight are all level 15-16! Their low level is practically asking for death!

The real issue is, why go up to the eighth floor at this time?! Isn't that annoying?!

Ahead, Shen Beijun could no longer take a step, and the others couldn't help but shudder.

No one dared to speak.

"Do these people from Zone 18 have a grudge against me? Why do they always come upstairs at the crucial moment? It's infuriating!" Qin Mumu gritted his teeth in anger, cursing Ye Changge and the people from Zone 18 in his mind.

If it weren't for them, why would Shen Beijun be in such a hurry to get going?

"Go up, go up! Aren't you afraid of falling to your death if you go that high?" Qin Mumu cursed.

Shen Jiangyun stood behind Shen Beijun. Ever since the announcement started, he felt the temperature around him drop several degrees.

With the sun blazing down, it's really rare to find some relief from the heat.

Seeing that Shen Beijun's fingernails were almost digging into his flesh, Shen Jiangyun's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard.

Finally, she stepped forward and cautiously began to speak:

"Young Master Shen, the people in Zone 18 are only level 10. At their level, they can't even get Points above level 8, and they might even get killed by the Fierce Beast. That would save us the trouble of taking action."

007 and 010 behind them exchanged a glance.

Shen Jiangyun is a fucking genius! He even came up with such a bizarre angle! I'm impressed!

"Young Master Shen! I just checked the Leaderboard. Those eight people seem to have split up. Only number 171 made it to the eighth floor. The others' Points haven't changed, so they must be stuck on the seventh floor." The speaker was Player No. 008.

Upon hearing this, Shen Beijun immediately summoned the ranking list and opened the Tower Floor Ranking.

Rank Number Points

171 255

2161 127

3172 127

Just as 008 had said, only Xiao Fan, number 171, went up to the eighth floor; the others didn't.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect these idiots to split up. Going up to the eighth floor alone, isn't that just courting death?" Shen Jiangyun laughed.

Anyone with common sense knows that the higher you go in the Myriad Phenomena Tower, the more difficult it becomes, and the contestants must stay together.

Those people from Zone 18 actually split up on the seventh floor, and one of them even went up to the eighth floor alone.

What's the difference between this and courting death?

Shen Beijun's mood instantly improved. "Maybe it's really as Shen Jiangyun said, those trash in Zone 18 will bring about their own demise before I even have to make a move."

The team's atmosphere seemed to have improved again.

But just then, Chen Xuewei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
