“Participant Thor has conquered the Twelfth Floor with an SSSS rating, granting all humans in the Tower of Truth the buff [Speed Conquer]!”
“Limited-time buff [Rapid Attack]: +30% attack speed for all humans in the Tower of Truth, lasts 6 hours!”
“Limited-time buff [Robust Physique]: Upon death, humans in the Tower of Truth will not enter a weakened state when returning to the Core City of Truth, lasts 6 hours!”
“Limited-time buff [Experience Ascension]: Merges all previous Experience Boost buffs, +60% experience gain, lasts 3 hours!”
“[Speed Conquer]: Within the first 45 minutes of entering a level, Exploration Rate efficiency +15%, lasts 90 minutes.”
As the reward for conquering the Twelfth Floor, [Experience Ascension] directly merged previous experience buffs, providing a higher bonus. It’s hard to calculate whether this is a net gain or loss.
If Mike continues to conquer the Tower of Truth at such a high frequency, the human race will definitely benefit. They can enjoy high experience bonuses, greatly improving their leveling and conquest efficiency.
Of course, this boost will be most noticeable in the early stages and will become less effective in the mid to late stages. Some levels are bottlenecked by a boss or specific scenario, and the experience bonus won’t help.
It’s a nice-to-have buff but not a changer.
[Speed Conquer] is a new buff with an unexpectedly powerful effect! It increases the efficiency of gaining Exploration Rate!
This boost won’t raise the participants’ upper limits but will save them time.
For Mike, [Speed Conquer] is incredibly useful! With six hours of exploration time tonight, he plans to achieve at least four SSSS ratings.
Two hours have already passed, and he’s halfway through his goal, making good progress! Meanwhile, the personal reward for the SSSS rating has arrived.
“Congratulations on conquering the Twelfth Floor with an SSSS rating, earning the reward [Potential Unleashed].”
[Potential Unleashed]: When leveling up, gain +100% attribute points and free attribute points, applicable for 50 levels.
After conquering the Eleventh Floor, Mike’s level increased from 60 to 76. After the Twelfth Floor, Mike has reached level 94!
ID: Thor
Talent: Eye of Truth (SSS Grade)
Level: 94
Class: Stormwalker Magus (Wind, Fire, Lightning)
HP: 102,500/102,500
MP: 349,400/349,400
Strength: 2,105 (+3,156)
Intelligence: 5,002 (+610)
Spirit: 4,616 (+520)
Agility: 1,437 (+3,073)
Constitution: 1,608 (+2,971)
Luck: 12
Equipment: Force of Nature (+4), Nightmare’s Breeze, Thunderclap Hammer, etc.
Skills: Wind’s Reach, Meteor Fire Rain, Lightning Phantom Form, Void Tremor, etc.
Status: Potential Unleashed, Perfect Aim, Speed Conquer, etc.
Besides Force of Nature and Nightmare’s Breeze, Mike also has some miscellaneous equipment pieces that provide minor attribute boosts. Of course, the biggest boost comes from Nightmare’s Breeze, which offers significant bonuses to three attributes: Agility, Strength, and Constitution.
As a mage, Mike’s Intelligence attribute is almost on par with his Strength attribute, which is a bit awkward.
With over 5,000 Intelligence, Mike’s offensive capabilities are formidable. Although he has mastered some other types of magic, his primary offensive means is Lightning, which is overwhelmingly powerful.
For his safety, it’s said that abyssal demon creatures have started stacking Lightning resistance. Knowing Thor’s high burst damage, their efforts to stack Lightning resistance have become even more frantic.
Mike believes those cowardly creatures might even achieve Lightning immunity!
Currently, Thor has no abilities to ignore magic resistance. In this situation, fire and wind element attacks become crucial, and with high Intelligence, he still has strong offensive capabilities.
With [Potential Unleashed], Mike’s attributes will significantly increase in the future.
As an SSS-grade class template, each level-up for Mike is equivalent to several, even dozens, of levels for others. With the doubling effect, his advantage will become even more apparent.
After a short rest, Mike didn’t waste much time and chose to enter the Tower of Truth again.
“Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!”
Thirteenth Floor.
Mike appeared in an endless wilderness, with fierce winds whipping up sand and stones, stinging his face.
[Thirteenth Floor Exploration Rate Method: Help the wandering Yordle clan establish a tribe and successfully defend against enemy attacks.]
[First, you need to find the Yordle clan’s tracks.]
For other participants, just finding the Yordle clan’s tracks in the wilderness would take considerable time. Mike, however, didn’t need to worry about that. With the [Eye of Truth], finding things was never a problem.
Even without using the [Eye of Truth], Mike had [Wind’s Reach], a high-speed movement skill, allowing him to quickly discover the Yordle clan’s tracks.
“Swish—”
In the midst of the fierce wind, Mike’s figure appeared, and before him stood several ragged little dwarfs. They were even shorter than dwarves, not even reaching Mike’s knees, and they liked to wear colorful umbrella-shaped hats, making them look like walking mushrooms from above.
A dirt-covered Yordle clan member mustered the courage to step forward, trembling slightly as he spoke, “Hello, lone wanderer of the wilderness. Though it may be presumptuous, could you help us? In return, besides gaining the friendship of the Yordle clan, you will receive our most precious treasure!”
“No problem.”
Mike accepted the task. First, he needed to find the scattered Yordle clan members, who were lost in various corners of the wilderness. He needed to gather at least half of them to start building the Yordle clan’s tribe.
“Tripod.”
At Mike’s summons, the Cerberus Phantom appeared, looking at its master with a puzzled expression. It seemed to be saying, “When did you give me such a strange name?”
“We’ll split up. You go here, here, and here.” Mike gave the Cerberus Phantom three coordinates, instructing it to gather any Yordle clan members it encountered along the way.
The Cerberus was momentarily stunned. Three coordinates, three trips? Is that even feasible?
Soon, it understood Mike’s intention. The Cerberus split into three, each head taking a part of the body and heading towards the targets.
True “splitting up.”
With the Cerberus’s full assistance, the Yordle clan members were quickly gathered. Next was the construction of the tribe’s village!
The [Eye of Truth] could provide perfect blueprints. However, the Yordle clan members were too short and weak. Even with perfect blueprints, gathering materials would take them a lot of time.
“Sigh, if only we could call in some help,” Mike thought, wondering if he could bring people from his exclusive space into the Thirteenth Floor.
“Who should I summon? If I summon the wrong person, it could lead to their death, so I must be careful.”
Mike finally decided on a target: Vladimir. As a vampire, this guy could revive infinitely. As long as Mistveil Castle stood, he wouldn’t die.
With a thought, Mike summoned Vladimir.
A well-dressed, elegant vampire appeared before him, holding a wine glass in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, looking a bit flustered.
“Master? Did you summon me?” Vladimir looked around in surprise. “Where is this place?”
“It’s where you need to work overtime!”
After successfully summoning Vladimir, Mike continued to summon others. Dwarves, miners, werewolves, vampires, and even lizards were brought to the Thirteenth Floor to help build the Yordle clan’s tribe.
As the overseer, Vladimir held a small whip, supervising the vampires while trying to cozy up to Mike. When he learned the floor number, his face turned a bit pale.
“Thirteenth Floor? My esteemed master, that’s not a good number! Thirteen represents bad luck, the home of demons, the origin of all misfortune and disaster…”
As he spoke, Vladimir’s voice grew quieter. He looked at Mike with a peculiar expression, thinking, “Why does the Thirteenth Floor sound like Thor’s home turf…”
A new prompt appeared before Mike:
[Vladimir’s OS: Why does the Thirteenth Floor sound like Thor’s home turf…]
