Chapter 49 New difficulty
49 New difficulty
[Points - 2500]
[Remaining points: 500]
Looking at the instant deduction of over 80% of his points, Although it would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed However, considering how valuable and rare the lucky potion was, Ye Tian knew that in the not-too-distant future even if he had a million points he wouldn't be able to get them
Perhaps it was a newcomer benefit, but even in his past life apart from the first three that appeared when he just joined the tower he never found any others no matter how he looked
And to make things worse, back then like people of the Blue Star who had lived in a world of science and technology all their lives things like luck were subconsciously looked down by them
It was also due to that same mentality that like the others Ye Tian ignored missing one of the greatest opportunities in his past life
Thinking back to it now, it was an unknown not job that bought them and used them on a few bronze vouchers to get legendary rewards
Rewards that turned him from an unknown person to a lord dominating one side of the galaxy
So now that Ye Tian had gotten a golden ticket, how could he not use it!
Thinking of this, he took out the ticket in one hand and held the potion
Looking at both, an expectant glint couldn't help but shine in his eyes
"I hope this works!"
"Devour!"
Activating his devouring abilities, Ye Tian gulped down the potion in one go!
[Ding! It is detected that trialist is consuming luck potion!]
[User luck has been improved by 500% for five minutes]
[Ding! It is detected that trialist has activated devour!]
[congratulations on getting SSS-class skill burst of luck: by consuming certain amounts of mental power, physical strength, life force, mana and so on, the users luck can be improved temporarily Note: the amount of luck improved and duration is detected by the quality and quantity of the energy consumed
Warning! Using this skill without sufficient energy may result in permanent damage to the user and in the worst case complete abolishment]
Watching each notification pop up one after the other, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing
"Haha it worked! And it was an SSS-class skill at that!"
"Thinking back to it now, isn't the real hero my devouring ability?" "Ex-level plunder, S-level devour, it seems that abilities that have to deal with plundering have a special resonance with me"
Thinking of the past, Ye Tian continued to chuckle as he looked at the timer counting down above his head
[4:10]
"Four minutes ten seconds? Damn! It seems like I need to hurry up"
"Tower! I want to use the golden voucher!"
Shouting to the tower, Ye Tian quickly used the ticked as fast as he could After all, it would be a waste if the potions effect ended before putting it to actual use especially since when next he could make up to 3000 points was not determined And even if he could, there was no guarantee the potions would still on sale since if he Rembered correctly, they would be sold out around a month later when he had just gotten to the fourth floor Smiling wryly at the current situation, Ye Tian could only wait as he hoped the tower would respond quickly enough
And luckily his wish came true as not even a second had passed before he got a response
[detecting trialist is using golden voucher!]
[begin to commence lottery]
*Boom!*
Exploding into a puff of golden smoke, a golden wheel suddenly appeared in front of Ye Tians face showing all kinds of rewards on it
"Zeus lightning bolt (true), a goblins rotten sock, Merlin's staff, Aphrodites underwear"
"Damn! Apart from the few trash rewards, almost everything here is capable of leveling the blue star!"
"Just what is the tower, and why does it have all these?"
Looking at the items on the wheel, had he not known the unfathomable nature of the tower Ye Tian would have thought that most of them were fake
However having known the towers capabilities and seeing these prizes, Ye Tian further strengthened his determination to find out the true nature of the tower
But that would have to be for later as after going through a couple of rotations the wheel had finally reached an item
And seeing this item, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a question mark hover over his head
[soul world tree seed: covetous of the ability of the world tree to create different worlds by absorbing the void, the patriarch of the soul clan after years of study created this in an attempt to have this ability
Based on the soul, the soul world tree seed is designed to be able to absorb soul power to burnish itself and grow into a world tree cable of creating thousands of worlds
Unfortunately because of the astronautical soul power needed to achieve such a goal, the soul clan launched a slaughter in the universe trying to achieve it
But even then they still lost resulting in their clan being wiped out and the soul world tree being destroyed by the different races of the universe
This seed is the last relic showing the existence of the soul clan or the soul world tree]
Reading through its description Ye Tian suddenly felt like he had a headache
What was it with people of this universe?!
It seemed like one side was always trying to destroy it and the other side always besieging somebody
Looking at it now, Ye Tian suddenly felt that his being besieged in his past life was nothing special "However, this soul seed hunh although I have neither head of the world tree nor soul race in my past life but its abilities are quite outstanding!"
"So much so that if it's capable of what I think it's capable of doing then there would be any need to climb this tower, at least not personally"
"And even if I did, there wouldn't be any need to worry about someone constantly trying to target me"
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh at the power of luck, for him to get such an item apart from good luck he had no other explanations
However, just in case someone did manage to spy into his waiting room Ye Tian didn't say what he was going to use it for
Rather he was going to wait till he got back on the blue star before implementing his plan
"Hmm alright, now let's take a look at the other announcements given by the tower"
"Let's see, seventy percent survived That's good or at least shows that only mine was tampered with"
"Tower store is open, yeah I just used that"
"Community forum is open? That noisy place? There's no need to put too much attention there for now"
Looking at the community forum notification, Ye Tian decided to ignore it
Not because it was something bad, in fact strictly speaking it was actually a good thing
The forum was something the tower created where different trialists from the same planet could talk to each other even when separated However, the only problem with that was that it was unmoderated resulting in it either being full of spam or just people whining and being a nuisance So with that in mind, he unhesitatingly skipped it before taking a look at the last notification [The towers difficulty can now be chosen]
Looking at this particular notification, Ye Tian had a smile on his eyes
For him who wanted to stand out to his audience, this notification was the most favorable for him
It turns out that from now on before climbing a floor, trialists are expected to choose a difficulty they want to clear the tower in
And while the higher the level the greater the rewards, so does the danger also increase
"Easy, normal, hard, and solo"
"All players who pick any of the three easy, normal, and hard will be lumped together completing floors and trials together"
"However, solo players like the name suggests doing everything alone, even their trials are different as special trials were created for them"
"But for me who wants the audience for himself, solo is the best option, not to mention that it's not like I would never see other trialists the tower"
"In fact as long as I get to the resting floors like the tenth floor where everyone can gather I would easily need other players"
Talking to himself, Ye Tian didn't even hesitate as he picked the solo option
And as soon as he did that, a notification confirming us actions popped up in front of his face
[detecting that trialist is trying to choose solo mode]
[Warning! The difficulty difference between solo mode and other modes is not the same scale]
[Once picked there is no way to change your option] n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[Does the trialist still retain his choice?]
[Y/N]
Looking at this series of warnings, while others in face of such of thing might have changed their minds and pressed no
However Ye Tian on the other hand was diffent
Chuckling at the transparent screen, Ye Tian pressed the Yes button confirming his choice
"Haha solo mode, I hope you don't let ne down"
Saying this he sat crosslegged running the mana technique as he waited for the next trial to come.
