After chatting with Master Fool, Mike sent a message to Foreskin, specifically instructing him, “Foreskin, whatever you do, don’t let Afterskin challenge the 30th floor today!”
Afterskin’s luck was simply too terrifying.
Challenging the 29th floor with Afterskin had already caused Mike a lot of trouble.
If he encountered Afterskin again on the 30th floor, Mike doubted he could achieve an SSSSS rating!
“Don’t worry, Fourth Bro!”
Foreskin replied immediately, “Afterskin already conquered the 30th floor yesterday in his
spare time. He’s already reached the 32nd floor, you won’t run into him tonight!”
Mike: …
In just over an hour, Afterskin had conquered both the 30th and 31st floors!
This was simply astonishing!
Of course, there was another reason for Afterskin’s efficient conquering.
He didn’t care about the conquest rating, he would settle as soon as his exploration rate reached the minimum requirement.
With the SS-rank talent [Reverse Polarity], Afterskin’s growth didn’t require much resource investment.
Moreover, his strongest weapon was his inexplicable bad luck!
What Afterskin lacked most now was levels, everything else could be improvised.
Upon receiving Foreskin’s message, Mike was initially quite happy.
But then he thought about it again and realized something.
Wait a minute!
The 30th floor, a place Afterskin had been to… unlucky!
He had only left a day ago, the bad luck hadn’t dissipated yet, wouldn’t he still be affected?! “No, this won’t do!”
Mike made up his mind, after conquering the 30th floor, he had to speed up his conquering efficiency.
At least, he had to stay ahead of Afterskin!
As long as Mike was fast enough, Afterskin’s bad luck wouldn’t be able to catch up!
Inside his private space, Mike waited for the last few minutes.
The Tower of Truth was about to open!
12:00 AM.
The moment the Tower of Truth opened, Thor’s personal reward for conquering the 29th floor with an SSSS rating arrived.
“SSSS-level conquest of the 29th floor, reward obtained: [Child of Primordial]!”
[Child of Primordial] triggers different effects based on Luck, current Luck: 17
[Child of Primordial (17)]: When focusing, skill success rate +5%.
“This is good, not bad.”
Mike nodded slowly, satisfied with the newly acquired reward.
Firstly, Child of Primordial would change based on his Luck, meaning it had growth potential.
Secondly, Mike now had many skills that had success rate requirements.
For example: Reincarnation Shadow from [All Things Grow].
Increasing the success rate by 5% would be a great help in battle!
As for [Steal Fire]… unfortunately, its success rate couldn’t be increased by other means at the moment.
Lastly, the effect of [Child of Primordial] could be actively triggered by Mike!
This way, he could avoid situations where negative buff effects were increased by 5%.
Putting away the description of [Child of Primordial], Mike prepared to enter the 30th floor of the Tower of Truth.
Before setting off, Mike made some preparations.
“Mystic Market special anonymous card, can conceal ID, put one on!”
“Human skin masks, nine ultra-thin ones!”
“I need to change clothes too, I usually wear black, this time I’ll wear white!”
“Put away Force of Nature, equip Hammer, and conceal it a bit…”
|| ||
Mike transformed from a black-robed mage into a warrior.
Next, Mike vanished from his spot and headed to the Core City of Truth.
Summoning the Truth Core Crystal, he entered the floor number: 30.
“Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!”
…
Tower of Truth, 30th floor.
This floor was called Brookfield Town.
At the only entrance to Brookfield Town, a burly man stood like a stone, unmoving despite the wind and rain.
He had been standing there for days, and all the passing participants had noticed his unusual
presence.
It was certain that this burly man wasn’t an NPC, but a human participant!
Moreover, he was a very strong African American man.
Someone had once tried to provoke him, only to be sent flying with a single punch.
Mike, passing by, recognized him at a glance:
[Malphite, Lv. 319]
“Why is Anderson here?” freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Just as Mike was thinking this, Anderson moved!
He was unstoppable!
He charged forward at an incredible speed.
With every step he took, the ground trembled violently.
Everyone’s vision blurred, and their bodies were lifted into the air, unable to react to what
was happening!
After leaving several afterimages, Anderson stopped.
The ground beneath his feet cracked, and countless spiderweb-like cracks spread in all
directions.
The reason Anderson stopped was simple.
A hammer was pressing down on his shoulder.
The hammer was still an inch away from his shoulder, indicating that its owner meant no harm. Otherwise, without Mike even attacking, the weight of the hammer alone could have
crushed Anderson to the ground.
Anderson stopped.
He looked up at the owner of the hammer and grinned.
“Good evening… Thor.”
Mike rolled his eyes and replied grumpily, “Good evening, Malphite.”
Ever since conquering the 29th floor, Anderson had stopped progressing on the 30th floor.
He was waiting, waiting for Thor to conquer the 29th floor, waiting for Thor to arrive on the
30th floor!
Anderson didn’t know who Thor was, nor what form he would appear in.
But Anderson knew one thing:
Thor would come tonight!
As long as Anderson beat everyone up, the one he couldn’t defeat would be Thor!
And what had just happened had proven everything.
The moment Anderson attacked, no one except Thor could fight back!
His identity was self-evident.
What Anderson could figure out, Mike could figure out too.
He sighed and said helplessly, “You’re much smarter than the others!”
Anderson just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Mike continued walking down the street, with a burly bodyguard following behind him.
Apart from revealing his identity at the beginning, Anderson didn’t make any other requests,
he just followed Thor.
Mike wasn’t surprised that Anderson had been waiting for him.
As Cain’s senior, Malphite always had moments of unique brilliance.
Mike suddenly remembered something.
During the last trip to the abyss to rescue Professor Gregory, Anderson had been seriously
injured in the abyss and ambushed again after leaving.
It seemed like every time the demon creatures attacked, they would focus on Anderson.
Thinking of this, Mike said casually, “I remember you were also there during the last trip to
the Suture Abyss?”
“Yes.”
Anderson nodded and then fell silent again.
When he wasn’t speaking, he was like a stone, incredibly silent.
Two people were following Thor and Anderson from afar, eavesdropping on their
conversation.
Kaelum and Elena.
Hearing Anderson’s reply, Kaelum was almost dying of anxiety!
Did this big guy even know how to talk?!
Mike glanced back and said helplessly, “Let them come over.”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Kaelum and Elena appeared in front of Thor.
Looking at the three familiar faces, Mike asked calmly, “Tell me, what are you trying to do?”
The other two looked at Anderson in unison.
It was Anderson’s idea to stalk Thor.
As for the other two, if they wanted to conquer the 30th floor, they could have done it long
ago.
They didn’t expect to actually encounter Thor.
As for what to do after meeting Thor, probably only Anderson knew.
“I… I don’t know either.” Anderson raised his right hand and scratched the back of his head, saying honestly, “Just
being a fan, I’m a fan of Thor.”
“And then?”
“That’s it.”
The atmosphere became awkward.
Kaelum really wanted to take this embarrassing guy back, lest their impression of him drop
even further.
Mike clapped his hands, signaling that they could disperse.
“Alright, fanboying over, time to go home.”
“Okay.”
With that, Anderson turned and left without looking back, taking Kaelum and Elena with him.
“Big guy, we’re just leaving like this?”
Kaelum was a bit unwilling.
That was Thor!
After finally catching Thor in person, it wouldn’t be too much to ask for an autograph or a
photo, right?
Leaving like this was such a loss!
After all, Thor was incredibly popular now.
Even just an autograph, even if they didn’t sell it, giving it to their friends would be a huge
honor!
Anderson shook his head and whispered, “Ace isn’t Thor.”
Getting down to business, Kaelum put away his playful demeanor and nodded in agreement.
“I agree, he doesn’t look like him.”
Ace’s aura was too flamboyant, while Thor’s personality was clearly more easygoing. Thinking of this, Kaelum whispered, “I heard from my nephew that Thor is very good at
making deals with people!”
Anderson ignored this and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“To where Thor will go.”
