The Earth is Online - Chapter 55

[Chapter 55]

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo put on their shoes and left the food processing factory. When they left, the iron shoemaker swung the big iron lock and swaggered into the grocery room where Fu Wenduo had come out. Tang Mo glanced curiously, and his eyes stopped on the chains behind the iron shoemaker.

Black Tower once said that this chain has the effect of causality, and it cannot be undone automatically after being bound.

This chain does more than magic shoes.

Seeing the shoemaker walking further and further, Tang Mo turned his head and whispered, “Can you grab it?”

Fu Wenduo didn’t look back at the shoemaker’s chain, but he understood what Tang Mo meant: “Maybe not.”

Tang Mo showed a disappointed expression and continued to walk forward.

Fu Wenduo raised his lips slightly when he saw him like this, but did not speak.

That chain is indeed a treasure, but based on Fu Wenduo’s experience when he fought with the black shoemaker, even if he and Tang Mo join forces, they are probably not the black shoemaker’s opponent. The cobbler is one level more powerful than Pinocchio, and he should not have reached the level of Santa Claus and Granny Wolf, but it’s not much worse.

The two quickly passed through the factory area, returned to the mall, and parted at the entrance of the mall.

It was pitch dark, and Fu Wenduo planned to find a place in the mall to spend the night casually. Tang Mo saw his figure disappear into the safety stairs of the shopping mall, and went down by himself to the second floor of the parking lot.

When he arrived at the infirmary on the second floor, before entering the door, he heard the voices of Liz and Luo Fengcheng.

Luo Fengcheng asked: “Really notified?”

Liz said anxiously, “Really. Not long after I left the mall, I ran into Tang Mo and another man in black, which is Mr. Fu as the doctor said. After hearing me say this little girl came back, Tang Mo I am happy to say that he will come back immediately, so I will inform the little boy again. But now that we are all back, Tang Mo has not come back. Doctor, did something happen to him? Did he meet a stowaways or enter the dungeon? already?”

Luo Fengcheng was about to speak when a knock on the door rang. Everyone looked at the sounding place.

Seeing that the door was pushed open, Tang Mo stood at the door and said with a smile, “It’s time to enter the dungeon.”

Liz breathed a sigh of relief when the person she notified came back. She blamed herself a little: “I knew I left with you at that time, otherwise you wouldn’t enter the dungeon, Tang. I know all the dungeon entrances nearby.”

Tang Mo walked into the room: “I entered the reality copy.” After a pause, he looked at Luo Fengcheng: “It’s the copy of the black shoemaker. I went in with Fu Wenduo, and now we have cleared the customs.”

Next, Tang Mo simply repeated what he saw in the copy of the cobbler. He ignored the rewards he got, and focused on the prohibition of using abilities and props in dungeons. This is very important news. After Luo Fengcheng heard it, he said: “Thank you, this is very important. In the future, we have to prepare for the inability to use abilities and props in the game.”

Tang Mo said, “No need.”

Luo Fengcheng glanced up and down at Tang Mo, and after a long time, he smiled and said, “Okay, then you don’t need to thank me.”

Luo Fengcheng was keenly aware that something seemed to have changed in Tang Mo. The change might not be big, but it changed a little. Before the change, Tang Mo would also tell the Atak organization the news. After all, after the earth went online, almost all the people he knew had disappeared, and the only ones who could be counted as friends were in the Atak organization. But he might not speak so quickly, without hesitation.

Liz and another Atak member leave soon. After Liu Chen and Chen Shanshan said a few words, they wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and left the infirmary first. Tang Mo watched Liu Chen wipe away his tears and faintly sensed something was wrong, but he didn’t ask, and watched the bamboo-like boy leave.

For a while, only Tang Mo, Luo Fengcheng and Chen Shanshan were left in the spacious infirmary.

After coming out of the cobbler’s reality copy, Tang Mo finally saw this little girl again.

Tang Mo always wanted to make this little girl his teammate. He never forgot that he had obtained so many abilities, and only Chen Shanshan’s ability allowed the ability book to say “you got shit luck”. He walked to the hospital bed and saw the little girl lying slender on the bed, leaning against the pillow. His forehead and arms were all wounded, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, looking at Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng seriously.

Luo Fengcheng said: “Shanshan has brought some very interesting news. Tang Mo, I think it is also very important news for you.”

Tang Mo looked at the little girl.

Chen Shanshan nodded, no nonsense, and said directly: “I and Feifei entered the same Christmas Eve welfare dungeon. There are ten people in our dungeon, and I won’t say much about the specific game. Like Brother Tang and Teacher Luo, it is also a group confrontation. The game, but we are divided into five groups in total. Feifei and I are not in one group, when the game is in the third round…” Chen Shanshan’s voice stopped, her face full of wounds did not have much expression, and her voice did not change. Tang Mo felt that she seemed a little sad.

“Feifei died at the hands of a female player.”

Tang Mo’s heart froze, and a little girl’s bright and shy smile flashed before his eyes.

He didn’t speak, didn’t know what to say, just looked at the little girl on the hospital bed quietly.

Chen Shanshan paused for a while and continued: “In the fifth round, my partner and I were eliminated and forced to enter the tower attack game together. I played the tower attack game in the prison of the Underworld Kingdom. Don’t waste time talking about it now, but I found two important points in this game.”

Tang Mo said, “What?”

“First, players in the same tower attack game may not be attacking the same tower.”

Tang Mo immediately understood what Chen Shanshan meant, and exclaimed: “You mean, you are attacking the first floor of the black tower, but among the players who attacked the tower with you, there are players who attacked the second floor of the black tower?!” This news is too much. Surprisingly, Tang Mo couldn’t help but look at Luo Fengcheng.

Luo Fengcheng nodded at him with a solemn expression: “This is what Shanshan meant. There were eight players in the tower attack game she participated in. Once they entered the game, they became prisoners of the Underworld Kingdom. Shanshan’s seven people The mission is to kill a prisoner who has a low presence in the prison while the prisoners are out, and there is another person who seems to have a different mission than them.”

Chen Shanshan said: “The player just entered the game, and his behavior was a bit strange. She reacted quickly and immediately pretended not to notice anything, and discussed with us how to complete the task. But in fact, when the eight of us were teleported to this game, she As soon as I saw the other seven of us, there was a look of shock on my face. I’ve been paying attention to her ever since.”

Every player must be nervous when they are first teleported to attack the tower game. It is very rare for Chen Shanshan to calm down immediately and at the same time to observe her teammates. And she also found something unusual.

“It’s normal to be shocked by being forced to enter a tower attack game, and then deliberately pretending to be calm is also reasonable. But the teacher once told me that this kind of person who can quickly hide himself, even if he doesn’t have a ghost in his heart, is sure Smart people. In a multi-player game, what you need to watch out for the most is not your opponent, nor the rules, but the smart people in your team. Smart people tend to insist on their own ideas. This smart person has other intentions, which are even more terrifying, even more terrifying than the pig teammates, and even need to strike first.” Chen Shanshan calmly made a gesture of wiping her neck.

“…” Tang Mo’s gaze swept across Chen Shanshan and Luo Fengcheng.

You, Luo Fengcheng, teach other little girls this? !

Chen Shanshan said seriously: “At first I thought she had some other problem, but then I found out that some of her actions were very strange. During the progress of the game, I gradually realized that her tasks may be different from the other seven of us. After a pause, she added: “This is just my speculation, three points rely on inference, seven points rely on intuition. Of course, I don’t know what her mission is, because before the seven of us complete our main task , one night she was killed by the guards of the Underworld Kingdom. The guards dragged her appalling body in front of us and warned us that this is the end of the prison break.”

Tang Mo realized: “Her mission is to escape from prison?”

“Maybe this. I’m not sure.” Chen Shanshan said, “The prison is full of crises, and two of the seven of us succeeded in clearing the first floor of the black tower. The moment we killed the strange prisoner, we were teleported back. Earth. So if her mission is to escape from prison, the mission of the seven of us is too simple in comparison. Based on this, it is speculated that the mission of the seven of us is the mission of the first floor of the black tower, and the mission of the prison escape is probably the black one. Mission on the second floor of the tower.”

Luo Fengcheng said: “Shanshan is not sure whether the female player has cleared the first floor of the black tower. But she is indeed the most powerful among the eight players, whether it is intelligence, judgment, and decision-making. Whether it is supernatural or supernatural, they are all very powerful. Tang Mo, the fact that there can be players of different levels in the same tower attack game is just Shanshan’s speculation, you can listen to it.”

Tang Mo thought for a long time and said, “I believe this speculation.”

Luo Fengcheng smiled: “I believe it too.”

Lying on the hospital bed, the little girl heard that her teacher and her big brother, whom she respected very much, had affirmed her judgment, and she smiled a little, hiding the pain of losing her friend in her heart.

Tang Mo: “Is there another important point?”

Chen Shanshan cheered up and continued: “There’s one more thing that’s a foregone conclusion. When I left the tower attack game, the black tower asked me a question. It asked me if I decided to continue attacking the tower. I chose no. Then it Said that within three months, players can go to the black towers in each district to actively choose to attack the tower; after three months, if the player does not attack the tower, they will directly enter the tower attack game.”

“Can you choose to attack the tower on your own initiative?!” This incident shocked Tang Mo even more than the previous incident.

Chen Shanshan nodded: “Yes. According to the meaning of the black tower, the player can take the initiative to attack the tower at any time. Otherwise, if the player can only passively attack the tower, the time and opportunity of attacking the tower are not under his control. , it will definitely happen often that you have not attacked the tower for three months and are forced to enter the game of attacking the tower.”

Luo Fengcheng continued: “It said that players should go to the black towers in each district and choose to attack the towers, so Tang Mo,” Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo, “I want to wait for Jakes and the little fat Tang Mo to return from Puxi, we will You can know whether the player can take the initiative to attack the tower.”

Chen Shanshan’s return brought a total of two important news.

First, in the same tower attack game, there may be players with different levels of attack.

Second, players can actively start the tower attack game.

What Tang Mo was more concerned about was the news of “actively starting the tower attack game”.

For any player, no one wants to enter the dangerous tower attack game. Even a simple mode of attacking a tower game is a life-and-death experience. Before the arrival of three months, few players should choose to actively enter the tower attack game. Why did the black tower give the player this option?

Unless you take the initiative to enter the tower attack game, it is better than being forced to enter.

This benefit…

Tang Mo suddenly thought of the real key. He turned his head to look at Luo Fengcheng, who was also looking at him.

Seeing Tang Mo’s suddenly enlightened expression, Luo Fengcheng said, “I understand so quickly? I discussed with Shanshan before you came back. Normal players are reluctant to take the initiative to enter the tower attack game, unless there is an advantage in taking the initiative to enter. Two One possibility is to take the initiative to enter the tower attack game, and you can choose the game content, game difficulty, etc. This possibility is extremely low, and the Black Tower has never given players any choice in terms of games. The other possibility is… ”

Tang Mo calmly said: “Actively enter the tower attack game, you can choose your own teammates.”

After staying in the infirmary for a while, Tang Mo planned to go back to recuperate, while carefully thinking about the two important pieces of information he learned today. When he left, Luo Fengcheng said: “You are injured, do you need Liz to help you deal with it?”

Tang Mo shook his head: “Small injury, don’t bother.”

Luo Fengcheng did not reluctantly.

Just when Tang Mo was about to go out, the little girl’s voice sounded: “By the way, there is another piece of news that I don’t know if it is good news.”

Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng both turned their heads to look.

On the hospital bed, this girl, who had always been calm, blinked. Because of her joy, it was rare to show such an age-appropriate expression.

“Brother Tang, teacher… I have become an official player.”

Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng both froze in place.

A long time ago, when Tang Mo met Luo Fengcheng for the first time, in that game, the game boss Big Mole told them: “Reservists can also become regular players, as long as they complete a black tower game.” This matter has long been left behind by Tang Mo.

Earth has been online for two months, and he has never seen a reservist become an official player. Perhaps the Big Mole lied casually, and the reservists could not be turned into regular players at all. But now Chen Shanshan told them: “I have become an official player.”

The game that needs to be completed to become an official player turned out not to be a “dark tower game”, but a “tower attack game of the dark tower”.

Knowing the truth, Tang Mo really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

All the official players have abilities, and Luo Fengcheng is most concerned about what abilities Chen Shanshan has acquired. Chen Shanshan also wondered at this point, she didn’t feel that she had acquired superpowers, she could not move objects, and her inability was as great as a cow. After becoming an official player, there is no difference from the reserve period.

Tang Mo hinted: “Perhaps your powers are subtle. For example, enhance self-healing ability and increase brain power?”

Luo Fengcheng and Chen Shanshan were lost in thought.

Tang Mo left the infirmary.

He quickly found the commercial car that he always stayed in, and after entering the compartment, he took out the power book from the air, and couldn’t wait to turn to the fifth page. Under the dim light of the flashlight, rows of small black characters came into view. Tang Mo’s gaze stayed on the second line——

[Owner: Chen Shanshan (reserve)]

Tang Mo stared at the line of words intently, and under his gaze, the line of words gradually turned into—

[Owner: Chen Shanshan (official player)]

Really will change!

Tang Mo carefully looked at the other words on this page. Except for this line of “owner” information, Chen Shanshan’s abilities have not changed. After clearing the first floor of the black tower, Chen Shanshan’s ability level must have increased compared to two months ago. Tang Mo also felt in contact with her that her thinking is more agile, her analytical ability has improved, and her ability to integrate information is stronger.

However, in Tang Mo’s ability book, Chen Shanshan’s ability is still level 3 and has not changed.

“It may be that her power level has not changed, or it may be that after I collected her powers, the collected powers no longer have anything to do with her. Even if her powers are enhanced, the powers I collect will not change. Nothing will change.”

Tang Mo thought for a while and felt that the second kind of speculation was more likely.

If Tang Mo collects the ability, the ability can still grow with the owner’s growth, then this ability book is too golden finger, it is like a bug. Tang Mo is not greedy. After thinking for a long time, he gently closed the ability book. But just as he closed the book, he let out a surprised “Huh” when the pages were turned over.

Tang Mo opened the book again and turned to the last page.

[Ability: Look at my big pure eyes]

[Owner: Xing Feng (official player)]

【Type: special type】

[Function: Having a harmless face to humans and animals makes oneself look harmless, and the words and deeds are easily recognized by others. The temperament of the player changes with the increase of the time the ability has, and without using the ability, it is also a harmless face to humans and animals]

[Level: Level 2]

[Restriction: When using the ability, you need to look at each other with both eyes, and the two look at each other for at least five seconds continuously]

[Remarks: Hello, look at me~ Kazi blue eyes, bling, bling~]

[Tang Mo version instructions: It can only be used once a day. When using it, you need to keep looking at the other party for at least ten seconds. It takes twice as long for the player’s temperament to change. I know that Tang Mo has wanted to wink at others for a long time, and now he finally has an honest reason. 】

Tang Mo closed the book with a bang. He looked at this cheap ability book, and finally understood why he was in the reality copy of the black shoemaker, why facing Xing Feng, patience is always better.

After Tang Mo entered the dungeon, Xing Feng basically didn’t tell him the truth. Although Tang Mo didn’t know that the two players were killed by Xing Feng before, but according to Tang Mo’s normal character, after going through Pinocchio’s dungeon, his tolerance for his teammates has dropped to the bottom.

Xing Feng didn’t clarify the rules of the game several times. Tang Mo should have put a knife around his neck and forced him: “Either die or talk.” But Tang Mo never did.

“It turned out to be because of this ability…”

The ability “Look at my big pure eyes”, activating the ability can gain the trust of others and make oneself look harmless to humans and animals. You can also make yourself more believable without using powers. Because this is a subtle ability.

If Chen Shanshan’s ability is to continuously improve her intelligence and make her smarter. That Xing Feng’s ability is to constantly change his temperament, making him more and more harmless to humans and animals. Even without using powers, he looks more believable than the others. Maybe he took the opportunity to kill them by relying on this player before he gained the trust.

Xing Feng is an official player, but someone like Fu Wenduo is a stowaways. From a certain point of view, it can be regarded as the sky (black tower) to trick people.

After thinking for a while, Tang Mo opened the book again and turned to the page of abilities. His fingers rubbed lightly on the line of “temperament change”.

“…This ability is still a mandatory ability, can’t you choose to give it up?” Tang Mo muttered speechlessly.

Although he didn’t know what “change of temperament” meant and whether it would affect his appearance, when Tang Mo thought that others would see him in the long run, he would feel “Ah, what a harmless person!” cold. Rather than pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger and pretending to slap his face, he prefers to speak directly with his strength.

Of course, if this ability can make people more low-key, it is also a good thing. Tang Mo was still quite satisfied.

After a night’s rest, Tang Mo came to the infirmary. Luo Fengcheng told him solemnly: “Chen Shanshan can’t strengthen her physique.”

Tang Mo turned his head to look in astonishment.

On the hospital bed, the little girl who was covered in injuries was holding a bright little star in her hand.

Tang Mo only remembered when he saw the star. In the Christmas Eve dungeon half a month ago, Chen Shanshan and Qiao Feifei entered the game with Christmas branches. But they failed in the Christmas Eve dungeon, can they still use Christmas branches to enhance their physique?

As if aware of Tang Mo’s thoughts, Luo Fengcheng said, “I thought I couldn’t use the Christmas branch, but last night, Shanshan’s branch turned into a white star and flew in front of her. As it arrived, this star shed its light, trying to strengthen her physique and give her a Christmas gift. But it failed. The stars are still stars, and Chen Shanshan’s physique has not been strengthened.”

Tang Mo remembered the sentence he saw when he flipped through the power book last night.

[Ability: Superintelligent Thinking]

…

[Restriction: The upper limit of judgment accuracy is 50%, and the room for improvement of physical fitness is 0]

Possesses super intelligence, but abandons all force.

Tang Mo was silent for a moment, looking at the little girl on the hospital bed. He walked over and said softly: “There are gains and losses. Since it is impossible to make up for the shortcomings, let’s make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.”

Hearing his words, Luo Fengcheng and Chen Shanshan both showed a moment of surprise. The two looked at Tang Mo thoughtfully, but didn’t say anything.

Luo Fengcheng and Tang Mo quickly left the infirmary.

Luo Fengcheng said: “When Jakes and the others come back, I will have someone notify you.”

Tang Mo: “Okay.”

It took two whole days to wait.

At noon on January 6, Jakes, Zhao Zian, and Tang Qiao hurriedly returned to the mall. Luofeng City sent Jakes to find Tang Mo.

Tang Mo entered the office and saw only Zhao Zian and Jakes.

Luo Fengcheng said: “Tang Qiao and another member were injured and are now being treated by Liz. This time I asked you to come here to complete the agreement and let the little fat man tell you what happened in this assembly copy. Two Come on… Tang Mo, as Chen Shanshan said, now players can choose to enter the tower attack game.”

Tang Mo was slightly startled.

Next, Zhao Zian told Tang Mo everything that happened to the four of them in the Banana Tavern’s assembly copy. As Tang Mo guessed before, different players will encounter dungeon tasks of different difficulty. The strength of the four little fat people is absolutely high in Shanghai. Their task is to make delicious wine for the Banana Tavern and help to complete the Banana Wine Festival this year.

The Banana Wine Festival is an annual event in the Underworld Kingdom, and the Banana Tavern is well-known in the Underworld Kingdom. Many underground people from the countryside and monsters smuggled in from the monster kingdom will go to the Banana Tavern to taste their most delicious and prestigious banana wine.

Banana Tavern holds a Banana Wine Festival every year. Most players are tasked with infiltrating the Banana Wine Festival and becoming a guest. Some of the more powerful player teams like the Atak Organization are also tasked with making wine for the Banana Tavern, while others are trying to destroy the Banana Wine Festival.

In the end, the four Jakes worked hard and finally brewed a real banana wine.

“The main ingredient of banana wine is human blood. Monsters like to eat players, and underground people also like to eat players. So what they really like to drink is human blood.” He calmed down in the game, “Those underground people threw all kinds of stumps and broken hands into wine barrels to make wine. Human limbs are like crooked bananas… This is banana wine.”

After talking about the gathering of the dungeons, Jakes said: “When we left Puxi, we heard a rumor that players can choose to enter the black tower. Tang Qiao said that this kind of thing is very important, and decided to see the real situation. We were early this morning. We left the assembly copy and stayed beside the black tower. As a result, at six o’clock in the morning, we saw three players walking under the black tower together, and they disappeared after a while. They should have entered the black tower and played a tower attack game. already.”

The news that Jakes said is not only “players can take the initiative to enter the dark tower”, but more importantly…

“The three of them went in together?” Tang Mo asked.

Jakes didn’t understand why Tang Mo asked again, he scratched his head and nodded.

Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo: “I plan to go to Puxi with Jakes tomorrow to find out the situation. The black tower is located in Puxi, players in Puxi should know more information.”

He was inviting Tang Mo, and Tang Mo was really interested and wanted to visit. However, as he was about to speak, a clear and loud child’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Ding dong! Tang Mo, the official player of Huaxia District 2, has reached the level of the second floor of the black tower. In five days, he is ready to attack the tower!”

Tang Mo’s expression froze on his face.

Jakes and the little fat man didn’t notice his abnormality, and looked at him stupidly, waiting for him to respond. Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo’s expression, slowly narrowed his eyes, and observed calmly. After a while, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

That schadenfreude-like childish voice was broadcast three times in Tang Mo’s mind. Just like two months ago, Heita happily informed Tang Mo that you were going to attack the tower. This time, however, the time limit was no longer ten days, but five days.

After the sound stopped, Tang Mo turned his head and looked at the three of Luo Fengcheng.

There was a hint of concern and consideration in Luo Fengcheng’s eyes, but Jakes and the little fat man were purely concerned.

Tang Mo sighed and smiled helplessly: “You guys go first, I’ll go in a few days. The black tower informed me just now that it’s time to attack the tower.”

During the five-day preparation period for attacking the tower, Tang Mo did three things in total.

First thing, prepare some weapons. After experiencing the wolf grandmother incident in Monster Valley last time, Tang Mo has a deeper understanding of the level of monsters in the black tower. With his current strength, I am afraid he is not the opponent of Grandma Wolf, but he needs to prepare more weapons. For example, like Xing Feng, prepare some poisoned hidden weapons in case of emergency.

The second thing, he needs to improve his strength.

This strength is not to collect more abilities and enhance your physical level. Good abilities are difficult to collect, and Tang Mo has not been able to collect Little Fatty’s abilities so far. As for the enhancement of physical level, it can’t be more urgent. What he really needs to do now is to improve his fighting level.

After the battle with the shoe polish wolf, Tang Mo clearly realized that his hard power was not strong enough. He has a strong physical quality, but this physical quality to him is like a child holding a big knife, wielding it casually, without rules. He once fought against Fu Wenduo in the underground parking lot, and Tang Mo knew that Fu Wenduo deliberately let him go, otherwise, with Fu Wenduo’s fighting level, Tang Mo would never be his opponent.

Only Tang Qiao in the Atak organization had received boxing training, but she was injured at the moment, so it was difficult to teach Tang Mo. Moreover, she was only at an amateur level, and with her physical fitness much lower than Tang Mo’s, there wasn’t much she could teach him.

Tang Mo thought of Fu Wenduo.

Looking at the shoes on his feet, Tang Mo thought for a while and decided to find Fu Wenduo.

He didn’t find the man.

Fu Wenduo seems to be missing. After parting that night, Tang Mo never saw him again. Luo Fengcheng said that he and Fu Wenduo reached an agreement that after the four little fatty left the assembly copy, they would also tell Fu Wenduo the information about the assembly copy. But members of the Atak group couldn’t find him in the mall.

Fu Wenduo may have left the mall, or maybe…

“He also entered the tower attack game?”

Tang Mo thought of this possibility, he took out the turkey egg and tapped it three times. The white turkey eggs flickered faintly, and Tang Mo said softly, “Fu Wen…” The voice stopped abruptly.

The sound of metal colliding violently came from the other end of the turkey. The sound of bang bang bang sounded, as if something heavy fell to the ground, and after a while, there was another violent crash.

In the rush of fighting, Fu Wenduo’s surprised voice came: “Tang Mo?” He spoke quickly, but his voice was not anxious.

Tang Mo thought for a moment and said, “Are you playing a tower attack game?”

Fu Wenduo: “Yes.”

“…Okay, then I won’t bother you. File it directly if necessary.”

“Okay.”

The brief call ends.

Tang Mo actually had two purposes in looking for Fu Wenduo. The first purpose is to ask the other party to teach him some fighting skills and improve his strength. The second purpose was related to the third tower attack preparation he made: he wanted to invite Fu Wenduo to play the tower attack game together.

Tang Mo made this decision after careful consideration.

Both the Pinocchio dungeon and the Shoemaker dungeon prove that the difficulty of the game increases when he and Fu Wenduo play together. The latter is not yet apparent, the former has been confirmed. And in the game, the two’s archivers can only be used once.

But Tang Mo still made this decision. Because a good enough teammate is more important than the difficulty of the game.

Tang Mo had to admit that he and Fu Wenduo had a very tacit understanding, and when working together, they could trust each other unconditionally and maximize their interests. Such tacit understanding is rare. Tang Mo himself was notified by the black tower to attack the tower. He speculated that with Fu Wenduo’s strength, he probably also received the notification from the black tower.

Unexpectedly, Fu Wenduo took the first step and entered the game.

“But that’s fine. If you don’t go with him, at least the game should be easier.” Tang Mo thought to himself.

The next night, Tang Mo learned from Luo Fengcheng how to take the initiative to attack the tower game.

Luo Fengcheng: “Now players can indeed take the initiative to start the tower attack game. When the player walks to the black tower and chooses to enter the tower attack game in their mind, the black tower will sound a prompt to determine whether to enter the game or whether to form a team to enter the game. After a pause, he looked at Tang Mo: “When are you going to start attacking the tower, do you have any teammates?”

Tang Mo: “Tomorrow, there will be no teammates.”

Luo Fengcheng: “At present, the members of the Atak organization are not strong enough. It is a bit risky to attack the tower rashly. I plan to make them more fully prepared in February, and then go to attack the tower together.” He was telling Tang Mo, the Atak organization couldn’t help him this time.

“Okay.” Tang Mo did not intend to invite members of the Atak organization and himself to attack the tower. What he wants to attack is the second floor of the black tower, and members of the Atak organization can only attack the first floor of the black tower. No one knows what kind of tasks they will encounter when they team up to attack the tower together. Perhaps the existence of Tang Mo would increase the difficulty of the game for the opponent, but instead harm the opponent.

Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo steadily, and suddenly smiled: “Live.”

When Tang Mo was forced to participate in the tower attack game on the first floor of the Black Tower, someone also said this to him. Hearing this sentence now, he couldn’t help but think of the man’s face in his mind.

…I don’t know how Fu Wenduo is doing now.

Tang Mo smiled and said, “Okay, I will live.”

The next evening, Tang Mo came to Puxi. Standing on the Bund, he looked at the dark giant tower from a distance. As the sun sets in the west, the Huangpu River shimmers with sparkling light. Tang Mo appeared to be dressed in casual clothes, but in fact he had four knives tied to his legs, two daggers and a gun on his body.

He stood in front of the black tower and looked up at the black tower, ready to attack the tower.

At this moment, a clear child’s voice sounded all over the world——

“Ding dong! Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 2, successfully cleared the second floor of the Black Tower!”

Tang Mo was slightly taken aback.

After a long time, he laughed and whispered to himself: “He passed the level without even using the archiver. I should be fine.”

However, the black tower just finished broadcasting, and after only three seconds, another voice sounded——

“Ding dong! Lena Chopphos, the official player in Europe Region 1, successfully cleared the second floor of the Black Tower!”

Tang Mo had already decided in his heart to “enter the tower attack game”. Hearing this voice, before Tang Mo had time to be surprised, the familiar voice of the black tower rang in his ears.

“Ding dong! The second floor of the black tower (normal mode) is officially opened, and the multiplayer game starts to load…”

“Sandbox Generation…”

“Data loaded…”

“Teammate information is loading…”

“Welcome to the Queen of Hearts’ Jewel Castle!”

A dazzling white light flashed past Tang Mo’s eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in a dark corridor.

This is a medieval European-style corridor. One side of the corridor is a tall giant stained glass. Through this thick glass, a red moon in the shape of a heart hangs high in the sky. On the other side of the corridor hang various paintings by famous Renaissance artists. Holbein’s “The Statue of Maier Before the Virgin”, Raphael’s “The Beautiful Female Gardener”, and many paintings that have been lost and are treasured in the museum are hung on the walls of this corridor.

The moment Tang Mo opened his eyes, he clenched the small pink parasol on his waist to guard against a surprise attack, but the surroundings were calm. He turned his head to look, his eyes stopped on the two of them.

A young woman dressed as a white-collar worker leaned against the wall, rubbing her eyes dizzily, as if she didn’t respond.

Apart from her, Tang Mo looked to the other side.

On one side of the corridor, three meters away from him. A baby-faced youth leaned against the stained glass and looked at Tang Mo with a smile. The red moonlight shone through the window, showing mottled colors on the man’s face. He just stared straight at Tang Mo, and when he realized that Tang Mo was looking at him, the smile on his lips became even brighter.

Slowly, he tilted his head, raised his right hand in the shape of a pistol, and pointed at Tang Mo.

“Bang~”

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes. The baby-faced youth was still looking at him with a smile, his body seemed to melt into the penetrating red moonlight, and his smile was strange.

The white-collar woman finally understood, she turned her head and saw Tang Mo and the baby-faced youth, staying above their heads for a moment. Taking a deep breath, the white-collar woman calmed down and said, “You should have heard Heita’s phrase ‘teammate information is being loaded’, so make sure… Now, you are my teammates?”
