Chapter 400 The Tower of Babel

Wei Miao did not respond immediately; she needed to consider the intention contained in that single word.

The main thing is, it's too much of a coincidence.

Just as Shadow A extended an invitation to travel together, Simon sent this message.

He continued his habitually taciturn style.

The friends list shows whether your friends are online. In chat software, "Are you there?" is usually used to check if a friend is available.

Today is Friday, and Simon must know that she has already finished this week's rankings.

So what can online players do at this time?
Wei Miao looked at the other colorful avatars on the list, namely Lu Ke, Wu Yao, and Xi Men.

It's highly likely that they, like myself, received the test qualification.

Wei Miao glanced discreetly at the silent shadowy figure E.

Could he be Simon?

Wei Miao pondered for a moment, then replied in the chat box, "Together?"

This time, Simon replied with two words: "Okay. Wait."

Looking at the context alone, it's utterly baffling.

Wei Miao withdrew her attention and heard Shadow A say, "...I have some things to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

She smiled, while Shadow A was probably speechless at having to deal with this group of awkward silencers and decided not to play along with them anymore.

As soon as Shadow A stood up, Shadow D stood up abruptly and bowed slightly: "Then I'll be going too."

After looking around and making eye contact with everyone, Shadow D left before Shadow A, without waiting for their reaction.

Shadow A watched his retreating figure, whistled with interest, waved to the crowd, and slowly walked away.

There were four other people present.

Shadow C clearly wasn't going to waste time staring at them, so he stood up briskly and nodded slightly: "I'm leaving now."

The remaining three looked at each other without saying a word.

Shadow B pondered for a moment, shrugged, and got up to leave.

Finally, only Shadow E remains.

Wei Miao tentatively asked, "Together?"

If Shadow E wasn't Simon, given his cold and silent personality, he would likely not have accepted her invitation.

Shadow E asked directly, "A rabbit?"

He dared to directly reveal the nickname because Wei Miao had already given him enough information.

Conversely, even after obtaining the crucial information of "waiting," Wei Miao, considering the timeline, still couldn't be certain that the shadowy figure E was Simon.

“Ximen,” Wei Miao said, using his nickname to acknowledge her identity.

The two finally connected and walked side by side toward the library entrance.

As they walked three meters from the door, a beam of azure light descended from the sky, carrying their figures away in a flash.

Outside the library, there was no one else in sight.

Wei Miao studied the map on the terminal and asked, "Where do you want to go next?"

Ximen looked around at the various shops with their doors tightly shut and said, "The arena."

Wei Miao had no objection.

Many shops are currently closed, and the remaining facilities, such as the opera house, are definitely not having performances right now, so going there would likely be a waste of time.

We can look at these later. The arena is in the upper left corner of the map, and it only has one building, the "Tower of Babel".

Using the map's teleportation function, after deciding on their destination, the two found themselves standing before the Tower of Babel in an instant.

In mythology, the Tower of Babel, also known as the "Tower of Babel," was built by humanity in an attempt to reach heaven. However, the gods deemed this act arrogance and thus confused human languages, rendering them unable to understand each other. The plan failed, and humanity scattered to the ends of the earth.

The round tower before me is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, soaring into the clouds, its number of stories impossible to count. Its building material is as smooth and lustrous as jade, naturally emitting a faint glow, like a divine miracle.

Each floor is also extremely tall, with many deep archways leading into the tower.

Wei Miao and Xi Men exchanged a glance and walked towards the Tower of Babel.

During the journey, Wei Miao asked, "By the way, why did you invite me?"

Given Simon's personality, being a lone wolf is his style.

“As a community, it must require communication and cooperation,” Simon explained. “I just want to reserve an ally in advance.”

Wei Miao smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

The two met through pleasant cooperation in the dungeon, and their friendship deepened further during the All Saints' Day rankings. They got along well and had a good foundation of trust.

However, communities involve not only cooperation but also conflict.

Simon was well aware of this.

Therefore, his gesture of goodwill this time is merely to express an attitude.

Similarly, Wei Miao's acceptance of the invitation also demonstrates her stance.

When cooperation is needed, the other party should be given priority.

But when interests clash, they will absolutely go all out.

This is what players are like.

With the help of the Tower of Babel's self-illumination, the two were able to barely see their surroundings.

They entered through the same archway.

As he stepped into the archway, Ximen's figure suddenly disappeared.

This is clearly the same mechanism as the library. After entering, players are separated into independent spaces.

At the same time, a new module has emerged from the community section.

It is called the "Tower of Babel".

Welcome to the Tower of Babel! This is your first time entering the Tower of Babel; we will now explain the rules to you.

The Tower of Babel is a combat facility, a self-contained space open 24/7. Players operate independently outside of multiplayer.

The Tower of Babel offers two battle modes: training mode and strategy mode.

[Training Mode: Players can customize training content through the Babel Tower module, adjusting the training ground, training dolls, and player physique, as well as performing combat simulations. Players are encouraged to explore on their own. Some special privileges require ranking up to obtain.]

Training fees vary depending on the player's rank. Calculated per hour: Masked rank: 100 Community Coins; Makeup rank: 200 Community Coins; Celebrity rank: 400 Community Coins; Thousandfold rank: 800 Community Coins; Formless rank: 1600 Community Coins.

[Strategy Mode: The Tower of Babel is, in legend, the gateway to the gods, a place where one could approach and slay them. In Strategy Mode, the Tower of Babel has 100 floors, with the strength of the guardian increasing from the bottom to the top. Every 20 floors corresponds to a rank; for example, floors 1-20 are the Masked Rank. Strategy Mode is free to challenge and has no limit on the number of attempts.]

[The strategy progress is divided into server-wide progress and personal progress. Taking the Masked Rank as an example, floors 1-19 are all personal progress, and players can only challenge them alone. For each floor cleared, the corresponding rank's training mode fee is reduced by 1%, but the fee reduction is not shared between ranks.]

[Every 20 floors features a boss level with a unique server-wide progress mechanism. The final boss is significantly stronger than those on the previous 19 floors, exceeding the theoretical limit for that rank. The final boss can be challenged online by up to 5 players in a team, with no skill restrictions. Upon completion, the training mode fee reduction for the corresponding rank is increased to 50%.]

[In addition to the challenges, players can choose to complete the game directly using community coins. Please see the table for specific costs (click to expand).]

Please note that for any level, a player must achieve the first kill before other players can use community coins to clear it.

[In addition, the team that first-kills a boss level will be recorded. Whenever a player spends Community Coins to clear that boss level, the first-kill team will receive 10% of the Community Coins, divided equally among all players. This share continues until the next boss level is cleared. Each player can receive a maximum of 100 times the cost of clearing the level.]

[Please explore the remaining details on your own. Wishing all players boundless strength and great fortune!]
