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

"Once they return to their normal lives, delivery drivers are like Mundo—they can go wherever they want!"

"As long as there's a ticket, I can go anywhere, but I can't go somewhere that doesn't exist."

That's roughly the idea.

Wang Sanjin seemed very persistent about this. After speaking, he touched his chin, his eyes half-closed, looking like a top student deep in thought after encountering a difficult problem.

"Does not exist?"

"Impossible."

"This black tower is a real, tangible structure."

The painter glanced into the distance out of the corner of his eye and pointed:

"The world is now completely white. Everything is white except for that black tower in the distance, the black mist in the sky, and us."

"It's right in front of me, and so many extraordinary individuals have come and gone. You're telling me it doesn't exist?"

Wang Sanjin remained silent for a while, slightly opening his mouth, but ultimately chose to close it, without responding to or arguing about the issue.

"And what about you?" Wang Sanjin changed the subject. "You can't give color to the world now, are you planning to give up?"

"give up?"

"To be honest, I've thought about it, but it's impossible."

After the painter finished speaking, he grabbed a bottle of 82 Lafite from the ground and poured it into his mouth.

Although I can't color the world, I can still use my extraordinary characteristics to drown my sorrows in alcohol.

After finishing the drink in one gulp, he tossed the empty bottle aside, raised his hand, and made a gesture.

"OK?"

"It's three!" the painter corrected. "After so many failures, I've finally figured it out."

"To color this world, three conditions need to be met."

"First, my identity as a painter remains unchanged."

"Secondly, a special canvas."

"Third, a special paintbrush."

"This is a problem I figured out after a long time; it's not my fault at all, but rather a problem with the 'equipment.'"

"Although I am the one who wrote the painting, this real world is not art at all; it cannot be simply drawn."

Therefore, there must be a special canvas and a special paintbrush in this world.

"If I find these two things, I'm sure I can color the world!"

The painter spoke very seriously, a rare determination appearing in his eyes.

"Is there any news about it?"

"The two things you're talking about?"

The painter shook his head, then nodded after a while: "I don't know where those two things are, but I have a clue."

"Tell me about it," Wang Sanjin said, and then sat down on the ground with the painter.

He's quite free these days, but he can't do nothing, because the blank slate world has its own unique "dangers".

"I believe that both the canvas and the paintbrush should be inside the Black Tower."

"But now the Black Tower is closed again, and even if you use Return, you can't get in."

"But we are not without options." The painter finished speaking and looked at the black tower. "This thing has always given me a very logical feeling."

"According to that woman, although the Black Tower is closed, it's not absolutely impossible to get in."

"You mean the key?" Wang Sanjin quickly guessed what it meant.

"right."

"But we don't have any clues about the key either!"

"I might!"

"What do you mean by 'possibly'?" Wang Sanjin didn't quite understand what the writer meant by that.

"Zhou Xiaogu came to see me before. She has a close friend named Yi Xinxin."

Wang Sanjin had never met Zhou Xiaogu, but he had heard Chen Xi say that she was a very strong woman.

"So? What is this Yi Xinxin's identity?"

The painter smiled mysteriously upon hearing this: "She has no identity and is not a fake person; she is just an ordinary person."

"Then why did you bring her up?"

"It's very simple." The painter didn't keep him in suspense, "because something very unusual happened to this ordinary person."

"As everyone knows, the Black Tower devoured all ordinary people."

"But she... is still outside!"

Wang Sanjin was silent for a moment. He wanted to say, "Are you sure this Yi Xinxin is an ordinary person, and not someone who has awakened her ordinary identity?"

But then I realized that I don't have the identity of an ordinary person.

"So, because of this, you suspect she's the key to opening the Black Tower?"

Even if it's not the key, we might know where it is.

Wang Sanjin looked at the painter with amusement: "Are these two things related?"

"I don't know if it's there or not," the painter paused, "I can only say that it's necessary! The Black Tower needs to leave behind a key."

"Since the door isn't completely locked, we need a key to open it!"

The painter's tone was not simple; clearly, he himself was not very confident.

"Just try anything, even if it's a dead end. This Yi Xinxin is our only breakthrough point right now."

"Okay." Without much thought, Wang Sanjin chose to trust the painter. "Where is she? I'll go see her."

"Where is it? It should be in Shangjing City, but in this current blank world, can you still get there accurately?"

Wang Sanjin stood up, chuckled softly, turned around, leaving behind a reliable silhouette:

"Mission accomplished!"

......

......

The primordial seed safe zone.

"This is the 5th wave! Boss, you've killed 20 purple experience monsters, how come you haven't leveled up yet?!"

"I was hoping to follow you and get some benefits after you level up!"

Yang Wei wailed.

His original plan was for Chen Xi to reach level III first, and then he would take him to eat meat. Even if he didn't reach level III, he would at least significantly accelerate the progress.

Furthermore, this is a safe zone where there is no misfortune, so Chen Xi reaching level III at this time would be the best outcome.

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Xi killed five waves of experience monsters and still didn't level up!

This was also quite unexpected for Chen Xi.

He did feel his experience points increasing, but he still hadn't broken through.

I don't know if they're offering too little here, or asking for too much there.

On the one hand, this is the final step that requires the most experience points.

On the other hand, Chen Xi wondered if it was related to his multiple identities, which caused the already high demand to become even greater.

"Don't worry! You'll get promoted eventually."

Chen Xi offered a completely uncomfortable word of comfort.

The four continued forward, and after a certain distance, they felt the familiar crawling sensation under their feet once again.

Just as Chen Xi was about to continue using Yao Zu to kill enemies, just like before.

He was stunned.

Not only Chen Xi, but the other three were also stunned.

Because this time, the hand that emerged from underground wasn't purple, but red!

The red experience baby is crawling up from underground!

"They've been upgraded?"

"How is this possible? The intensity of the fifth wave is only about 60% of a normal Tier II wave!"

"How did it suddenly escalate to a higher level in wave 6...?"

Chen Xi's expression instantly darkened.

Thank you! This "Master Certification" is a gift from "Don't Want to Get Something for Nothing," the fifth such certification I've received for this book, and the second generous gift from "Don't Want to Get Something for Nothing." I'm extremely grateful! You truly live up to your name!
