“Hey, that’s not right!”
Although Maxen wanted to go to the Supreme Abyssal, he wasn’t stupid.
“Why do I have to pay a registration fee?”
Mike snorted coldly, “Just tell me if you’re in or not!”
He didn’t even bother to make up an excuse.
If he really wanted to fool Maxen, there were plenty of ways to justify the registration fee.
Paper and printing fees, background check fees, physical examination fees, venue fees…
Maxen clutched his wallet tightly.
“At least give me a number. How much are you talking about?”
“It’s not expensive.”
Mike thought for a moment. He had just lost 20,000 gold coins from Steal Fire, so he said, “Let’s say 200,000 gold coins.”
“Deal!”
Maxen agreed immediately, afraid that Mike would change his mind.
200,000 gold coins, only 0.2 Lord merits!
To be honest, Thor was being quite generous this time.
He was only asking for 200,000 gold coins, how conscientious!
After clearing the 27th floor, Mike was in no hurry to challenge the 28th floor.
The 28th floor was easy to say, just monster grinding and leveling up, a simple RPG mode, no big deal.
What he really needed to worry about was the 29th floor.
Unlike the previous floors, the 29th floor was a team mode.
Mike needed to form a team of 2 to 3 people and conquer it together.
Choosing teammates was crucial.
The team’s score was calculated together, and Mike had the [Blessing of Truth], which could raise the final score by one level.
So the other members of the team who went in with him could also benefit.
How could he enjoy such a good thing alone?
However, this reward could only be obtained on the first conquest.
In other words, Mike’s teammates had to be those who had not conquered the 29th floor.
Mike looked at Maxen and asked seriously, “I’m going to challenge the 29th floor tomorrow. What about forming a team?”
“I was just about to talk to you about this.”
Maxen’s expression turned serious.
“Someone has woken up from the cryo-chamber and wants to challenge the 29th floor with
you.”
“What?”
A huge question mark appeared above Mike’s head.
Someone had been cryogenically frozen specifically to team up with him?
This was too much effort just to leech off some supreme power!
Kaelum and the others were trying to ride Thor’s coattails and were desperately trying to repeat a year.
This guy was even better, he went straight into cryosleep!
He waited until Thor was about to reach the 29th floor before thawing himself out and waking
up.
What a ‘grand plan’!
“It’s like this, the 29th floor is a bit special.”
Maxen explained seriously, “Back then, there was a very talented individual who was stuck on the 29th floor, with no hope of breaking through in his lifetime. Ordinary people couldn’t carry him through the 29th floor, not even me. Professor Gregory determined that only a potential Supreme Being could do it.”
This was the first time Mike had heard of this.
Mike asked, “And then?”
Maxen scratched his head.
“This guy had a limited lifespan. Without breaking through the 29th floor, his strength couldn’t be further improved, and he would soon die. So he was cryogenically frozen, waiting for a potential Supreme Being to appear and find a way to carry him through.”
“Wait a minute.”
Mike interrupted.
“If I remember correctly, I’m the fourth potential Supreme Being.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
If it was true, as Maxen said, that only a potential Supreme Being could carry this person through the 29th floor, why didn’t Morpheus, Ares, or Apollo take him along?
Mike was a little wary. There couldn’t be something else wrong with this guy, right?
For a moment, Mike even wanted to stuff the guy back into the cryo-chamber.
Maxen laughed and said helplessly, “This guy has really bad luck.”
“During my First Godfather’s time, he was from the same era as my First Godfather, but he was a step behind and couldn’t keep up.”
“When my Second Godfather emerged, this guy had just been frozen. By the time he was thawed out, my Second Godfather had already cleared the 29th floor.”
“My thi-”
Maxen got carried away and almost called Apollo his Third Godfather.
“When Apollo challenged the Tower of Truth back then, there were no ripples at all. The third potential Supreme Being of the human race, for a long time, it was like he didn’t even exist!” Listening to Maxen’s description, Mike nodded slowly. It made sense.
Apollo’s challenges in the Tower of Truth were always completed with 99.99% perfection.
There would be no global announcements.
So, this frozen genius not only had a bad life but also terrible luck!
“But there’s still one problem.”
Mike analyzed calmly and asked back, “It’s not about the money, why should I take him with
me?”
Maxen said, “That guy is Foreskin’s best friend.”
“You should have said that earlier! I can agree to that condition!”
A satisfied smile appeared on Mike’s face.
He was definitely taking this guy with him!
Who was Foreskin?
The Mystic Market Manager, Apollo’s appointed spokesperson, the number one advocate for
fair trade, who had never earned a single penny from Mike!
Foreskin’s best friend was Mike’s best friend!
“Don’t forget what I told you before,” Mike reminded him. “Tomorrow, set up a meeting with the person in charge of the Nightmare corps. Let’s talk face-to-face.”
With that, Mike got up and left Wolf’s Den.
Leaving behind a bewildered Maxen,
“What does Thor want to talk about?”
…
After leaving Wolf’s Den, Mike opened a notification.
As a reward for achieving an SSSS-level rating on the 27th floor, he had received two rewards:
The qualification to communicate with the Fire God and the Quasi-God of Theft and Shadow!
In other words, Mike could now chat online with the beings in the temple.
As for what he could get out of it, that depended on Mike’s ability.
If he could get rewards just by chatting online, wouldn’t that be a talent in itself?
However, Mike tried sending messages to both the Fire God and the Quasi-God of Theft and
Shadow.
The messages sank like stones into the sea, without any response.
“I’d better focus on clearing the floors.”
Mike planned to get another SSSS-level rating tonight.
As for the 29th floor, he could only leave it for tomorrow because he had to wait for his
teammate.
“Guardian Shadow matters, Blaze’s matters, why am I so busy?!”
Mike sadly realized that he had more things to worry about, but his salary hadn’t increased!
To be precise, he hadn’t even received his first paycheck yet!
“Wait, if I raise my combat power tier to Lord before payday, can I get an extra month’s
salary?!”
Thinking of this, Mike had a new motivation to improve his strength.
Summoning the Truth Core Crystal and placing his hand on it, Mike entered the floor number.
“28th floor!”
Mike muttered, “I have a feeling I’ve already cleared this floor.”
“Maybe I’m mistaken. After all, I haven’t received the rewards yet!”
He hadn’t even gotten the SSSS-level rating yet, how could he have cleared it?!
A white light engulfed Mike, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
“Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!”
