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

"no."

"I'm very curious, but there's nothing I can do about it."

The uncle's voice came with a sigh.

"The closer we get to that door, the more our power and that of the false men will be weakened."

"I once saw a person with a natural talent for chameleon-like behavior. He would become completely visible after reaching a certain distance, and he couldn't hide it from the Ta's slaves at all."

"Although I am a dominant force, my influence is definitely not insignificant."

"It's impossible to just walk in as an outsider as usual."

"But now... I'm preparing to enter the Black Tower."

"Now?"

Chen Xi looked surprised:

"Didn't you say earlier that only Stage III strength could guarantee safe entry and exit?"

"Indeed, Phase III can guarantee the safety of entry and exit."

"But there's no other way, this is my first task."

Task......

Chen Xi knows something about this.

The progress in Phase II cannot be improved by embodying an identity or killing fake people; it can only be increased through identity-related missions.

There are two types of tasks.

The first type consists of many small tasks, while the second type involves a single large task that directly advances you to stage III.

Although the former has a larger number of tasks, it is less difficult.

The uncle said, "This is my first task," which means his task is the first type.

"Is the first mission really this dangerous?"

"Is it because of the hegemon sequence?"

The second stage of improvement can only be achieved through missions, and this is the first mission, which means that the uncle's strength will not improve in the future.

Faced with Chen Xi's question, the uncle shook his head:

"No, the Overlord sequence missions are indeed more difficult, but they are not the main ones."

"From my perspective as an observer over the past few decades, I have summarized a pattern in the difficulty of Phase II tasks."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately adopted a look of attentive listening.

He is already at the peak of Stage I, and it's only a matter of time before he enters Stage II. This information is very important.

"I would summarize this principle in two words: 'fairness.'"

"If your Phase I identity is the kind that's easy to upgrade, then your Phase II tasks will be very difficult."

"Anyway, Phase II will be easier."

"I discovered this conclusion a long time ago, but through observation, I found that it is not accurate for many people."

"I kept thinking about it out of boredom, and later I realized that my reference point was wrong."

"The question of whether something is simple or difficult is not about comparing this identity with yourself."

"Instead, it's about comparing one's identity with the current era."

"I'll use your friend's identity as a lawyer as an example."

"The lawyer role is not easy to upgrade, so the tasks in Phase II will be relatively easier for lawyers."

"As for the upgrade process, whether your friend is a top student or a poor student, whether he or she upgrades her status with difficulty or ease, it will not affect the difficulty of the Phase II mission."

Chen Xi frowned slightly after hearing this.

The identity of a farmer is one that is relatively easy to upgrade to.

This means that his second-stage identity mission will be quite difficult, especially since he is the second-ranked member of the Overlord sequence, making it even more challenging!

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me so much."

Seeing Chen Xi frown, the uncle assumed he was worried about his safety.

"The difficulty of my series of tasks increases gradually; the first one is usually not a problem."

"Besides, I've seen so many sights, my experience, mindset, and knowledge are beyond question."

"With the addition of five pieces of black iron stone, I can unleash a very high potential power."

As the man spoke, he seemed eager to try it out, probably because he wanted to see the view inside the tower for himself.

"Alright, Chen Xi, I should go now that I've said enough."

"The world is so small, and it's getting smaller. As long as we're all alive, we'll definitely meet again!"

"Strive to become stronger, Chen Xi. In my experience, this world will eventually be completely devoured, and the Black Tower will be our final destination."

"I followed you all this way because I saw that there might be a conflict between you and your idol."

"I know his capabilities, so I drove here to follow him. Fortunately, it wasn't a waste of effort."

"After all, it was because of your appearance that I was able to rise to the status of a dreamer."

"You've saved my future in a way."

"So you don't need to feel guilty towards me."

"OK."

Without hesitation, Chen Xi walked down the steps.

"You..."

The uncle smiled and didn't say anything more, then snapped his fingers with a "click".

A black flame inexplicably appeared on the idol's body.

"This fire is called 'Amaterasu,' and it won't be extinguished until the target is completely burned down."

"Leaving the idol's body here will have a huge impact on that Orange Ten Association, which is not what you wanted, so I took care of it for you before I left."

"Thanks."

"But why did you drive here with me? I always thought you came with us in the back seat of Yang Wei's car."

The middle-aged man flashed his signature smile once again:

"Because the audience needs to maintain social distancing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black flames completely burned the idol's body to ashes.

It disappeared along with it, along with the tea set and the maid who had poured the tea.

Then, a backpack resembling a jet appeared on the man's back, clearly indicating that he intended to leave by flying.

This is the fastest method, bar none.

Boom! Boom!

Sparks shot out from the two tubes, instantly raising the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Keep in mind that it's summer now, thankfully it's nighttime, otherwise standing too close could have burned my skin.

"One last question."

Chen Xi looked up at the uncle who had already floated a meter above the water and spoke.

Which city has the most fake people?

Although Chen Xi is currently at the peak of Stage I, it's not the kind of peak that can be reached simply by planting crops for a day; rather, it's the kind that can be reached by making a little more progress.

This might require a year of farming to achieve, and Yang Wei also needs to upgrade.

Furthermore, the world is constantly being eroded, and there is no time to delay.

boom!

The two tubes of the jetpack behind the man, like the powerful propulsion device of the American team's car, unleashed amazing thrust.

It sent him flying into the sky in an instant.

Like a tear falling from the night sky, it glides into the distance.

The vast starry sky, like the enclosed interior of a mountain, echoes with three words:

"Go to Kyoto City!"
