Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"I'll go scout ahead!"

Chen Xi was eager to get started, but the author stopped him with a shove.

At this moment, the author has just been promoted to a top-tier author, and since he has never fought a single battle, he has no chance of winning. Therefore, his fan base is essentially zero.

If the value is 0, the character's death will not have any impact on subsequent combat power, which can be described as having reached its lowest point and only having one way to go: a rebound!

Chen Xi nodded knowingly and gave a soft "hmm".

The author claims to be scouting ahead, but based on the previous monster appearance logic, purple experience monsters will inevitably appear in order from weakest to strongest.

His current strength is at 100% progress in Tier II, which is more than enough to deal with the purple experience babies that have just appeared. The author's actions clearly show that he is itching to play after just being promoted to Gold Tier.

Just like when you first acquire a new skill and enter a period of overconfidence, you might even want to challenge a stray dog ​​passing by on the street!

"Go, Yujiro Hanma! Activate Demon Back Mode, Father's Love Fist!"

Although there is no fan base to boost it, Tier II is still Tier II, and there is a class-like gap between Tier I and Tier I. The aura surrounding it alone is more than one level stronger than before.

But momentum is just momentum; it can't put food on the table.

"Bang!"

Yujiro Hanma's iron fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed hard into the face of the purple experience baby. The sound of the impact was like two pieces of high-density alloy colliding, dull and ear-piercing.

However, such a powerful blow only made the purple experience pet take half a step back, without even breaking its skin.

With a single blow, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

The author's expression changed slightly. He had been mentally prepared for the possibility of losing, but he had not expected the gap between the two sides to be so vast.

The enemy leveled up from a green experience pet to a purple experience pet, while he leveled up from an author to a gold-level author. Both levels leveled up simultaneously, but the gap in strength actually widened.

Although there are inherently unfair aspects to this, for example, if purple experience babies are calculated based on progress, these two would definitely not start at 0%, but rather between 10% and 20% progress.

But without a doubt, a creator of a hit anime without a fan base is ultimately just a tool.

The author personally experienced the situation and came to a complete understanding of this cruel reality.

next second.

After regaining its footing, the purple experience pet grabbed Hanma Yujiro's hands, immobilizing him so that he could neither continue attacking nor retreat.

At the same time, three other purple experience babies standing not far away seemed to be on the same wavelength and pounced at the same time. A dense barrage of fists rained down from all directions like a storm, with tricky angles that were impossible to avoid.

In the blink of an eye, Yujiro Hanma was literally reduced to "a lump".

Fortunately, the author had zero fans at this point, so the character's death didn't matter.

After dealing with Yujiro Hanma, the four purple experience pets turned their attention to Chen Xi and his companions, charging towards them with murderous intent.

However, they were clearly overthinking it, as a cold glint suddenly flashed by.

"puff!"

The sword light was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of the naked eye. With one strike, four purple experience pets were simultaneously cut in half at the waist, their bodies crashing to the ground.

The person who made the move was none other than Li Yaozu.

The author might not even win in a 1v1 situation, let alone a 1v4 situation.

Chen Xi had anticipated this scene. When the author was fighting him, he activated the extraordinary characteristics of the Emperor-Supporting Demon and summoned Li Yaozu in advance.

Immediately afterwards, four clusters of purple energy entered Chen Xi's body.

Ok?

Chen Xi immediately noticed that familiar strangeness again.

It seems there was no mistake!

Although I've never seen it before, this feeling is very similar to the feeling of the ring Chen Xi wears on her hand.

That strange sense of compatibility!

If the ring is a containment object, then this strange sense of fit can only have one possibility.

Number 5, the Primal Seed!

This forbidden object, which has already been destroyed, is right here!

These experience babies are likely the result of the power of the Primal Seed, which also suggests that the Primal Seed's abilities are related to leveling up.

"Boss, you really can gain experience here, right?"

Yang Wei saw that Chen Xi was expressionless, but because he knew her well, he knew that this "expressionless face" did not mean that something bad had happened.

"That's right," Chen Xi said in a deep voice. "Just as I thought, this place is indeed special. The experience pets here can also give experience points to people of level II."

The normal path to level up from II to III can only be completed through quests. The reason Chen Xi leveled up by fighting monsters all the way was because his quests were like that, and they were big quests, so he fought his way through from beginning to end.

"Alright, then boss, you can use four times the amount to upgrade to Tier III first, and then the rich will help the poor get rich!"

Yang Wei has now truly been resurrected. Even if he dies again, his memories and strength will remain at the current level, which is much safer than the author's.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to level up, but rather that Tier III strength was now indispensable in the Black Tower.

Furthermore, since Chen Xi can reflect his image, Chen Xi must be promoted to Rank III first.

Chen Xi nodded solemnly: "Let's move forward together!"

The purple experience pet does indeed correspond to Tier II, and Chen Xi gained experience points again after a long time.

However, this level of experience points is simply not enough to level him up.

After all, Chen Xi has already reached 100% progress, and this last step is the most needed.

If the purple experience babies also come in ten waves, plus four times the number, Chen Xi will definitely be able to reach Tier III!

......

......

Outside the Black Tower.

The world is like a snowfall that has lasted for ten thousand years, covering everything.

In a world of pure white, tiny glimpses of color stand out all the more.

"Damn it, I've tried so many methods, but nothing works!"

"It's simply...it's impossible to paint any color at all!"

"None of the colors can leave a trace in this world!"

"In that case, there's no way to restart the world."

The painter, holding a paintbrush, had his once meticulously groomed long hair now tangled in hemp rope. He sat half-paralyzed on the ground, looking somewhat disheveled, much like those talented but unappreciated people in stories.

"Don't be discouraged. Adjust your mindset. Tell me if there's anything else you want to do, and I'll help you."

A figure suddenly appeared beside the painter and offered words of comfort.

"Wang Sanjin?"

"Did you fail again?"

The painter said without turning his head.

"Another failure... those three words are really awful, but as you said, I failed again."

Wang Sanjin admitted it with a normal expression.

"To be honest, I never expected that after mastering the ability of 'returning,' I would revert to my most primal form and appear as a food delivery worker."

"Even in this state, I am unable to enter the Black Tower."

The painter gave a soft "humph," unconcerned: "Didn't that woman say the Black Tower was closed a long time ago? Isn't it normal that you didn't go in?"

"Which is more powerful, the Overlord Sequence or the Black Tower?"

"The difference in quality is obvious, what's there to be conflicted about?"

Wang Sanjin shook his head: "You don't understand. The identity of the overlord after returning is very special and cannot be measured simply by strength."

"In short, in theory, once a delivery driver accepts an order, he can go anywhere. Remember, I said anywhere, even if it's the Black Tower."

"But after I took on Chen Xi's order, I still couldn't get in."

"It's like..." Wang Sanjin paused, as if he had found a fitting adjective, and his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"It's as if that black tower never existed at all..."
