The Last Sentinel

Ye Feng stood at the entrance of Sherlock Tavern and waited for a long time, but he didn't see Brother Eighty, Zhuge Mengde, come out.

"Damn it, where is everyone?!"

"Could he have been snatched away by a girl?"

Just then, a waiter approached. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhuge?"

Ye Feng was taken aback. Zhuge Mengde? My name is Ye Feng! Zhuge Mengde is the Eighty-Year-Old Brother! Not me!

But considering that only a few people knew his real name, including senior Luo Yi, Ye Feng said, "That's right, it's me! Is there something you need?"

The waiter said politely, "Your friend Ye Feng asked me to tell you that you don't need to wait for him anymore. He has already gone to pursue his happiness. He also told you not to worry about him and that he will be careful."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "What?"

The waiter, thinking Ye Feng hadn't heard him clearly, repeated, "Your friend Ye Feng left this tavern six hours ago. He left with a beautiful lady, and they seemed to be very close. He told you not to wait for him."

Ye Feng wasn't unaware of the waiter's words; he was simply furious. That bastard Zhuge Mengde, would it kill him to use his own name to pick up girls? Why use my name to do that!

To put it another way, I could understand if you used my name to pick up girls on Earth, maybe even get a free meal. But I don't understand why you would use my name to pick up girls on Lighthouse Planet. I'm not well-known here, so what are you trying to achieve by using my name?

"Hey, isn't this my beloved, crazy brother?"

A slightly lewd voice rang out; it was none other than Sherlock, the owner of Sherlock's Tavern. The green goblin approached with a broad smile. "What's wrong? Are you in trouble, my brother? Maybe I can help you."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No, no trouble. I'll be going now."

Sherlock laughed, "Wait a minute! My friend, I'm going to a really fun place. Want to come along? I guarantee you'll make a fortune!"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Next time for sure!"

Sherlock said, "I'm talking about the Black Tower Guild! Are you sure you're not interested in going?"

Upon hearing the words "Black Tower," Ye Feng abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Ye Feng's interest in the Black Tower now surpasses everything else. The levels within the Black Tower represent the level of strength, and the Black Tower also contains the secrets left by Captain Zhang Beihai of the Natural Selection, who allowed him to traverse countless worlds. The Black Tower is also the path to Charlie Darwin's rise, and Ye Feng still has a chance to meet Charlie and kill him!

Sherlock stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder. "I told you, you'd be interested!"

"Let me tell you, bro, this Black Tower Guild isn't just a guild; it's a society, a massive interstellar stage. It includes finance, military, power, commodity forecasting, the slave trade, all sorts of markets, and even a dark horse talent investment fund market!"

Sherlock grabbed Ye Feng's arm, boarded the spaceship, and headed straight for the Black Tower Guild branch.

Ye Feng learned about the relationship between the Black Tower Guild and the Black Tower from Sherlock.

Despite having "Black Tower" in its name, the Black Tower Guild has absolutely no connection to the mysterious Black Tower, just like a wife cake doesn't actually contain a wife.

The full name of the Black Tower Guild is the Black Tower Related Industries and Services Association.

The specific organization behind the association is unknown; however, the Black Tower Guild has existed since the beginning of the Weiyang Era, when the Xuzu dominated the Milky Way.

The guild's main business consists of three segments: Black Tower rankings, Black Tower resource exchange, and Black Tower derivative services.

Among these, the Black Tower Ranking is Black Tower's core business, consisting of two lists: the Talent Ranking and the Combat Power Ranking, commonly known as the Dark Horse Ranking and the King Ranking. The list that Charlie Darwin appeared on is the Talent Ranking, while the King Ranking records the top combat power in each sequence. Both lists have their own merits, but the difference is that the King Combat Power Ranking is a hidden list, while the Dark Horse Talent Ranking is a public list.

Black Tower resource exchange is Black Tower's main business. It mainly involves the trade of resources brought out of Black Tower by Black Tower experts with various major forces. Black Tower Guild is responsible for contacting intermediaries and collecting handling fees.

The Black Tower offers a wide range of derivative services, from equipment rental, Black Tower dungeon intelligence, and re-employment for Black Tower experts, to recruitment, hiring, assassination, protection, and double-crossing among various factions.

"Don't be afraid to tell me, bro, the reason I was able to rise to prominence on Beacon Star was because I earned my first pot of gold from the Black Tower Guild's derivative services!"

"Do you understand the dark horse fund market? It's like the stock market you just mentioned, yes, it's similar to the stock market you described!"

"Every genius who joins the Black Horse Guild is like a new stock. The more you invest in this new stock, the greater the return from the genius! Of course, if your judgment is poor and the genius you invested in dies as soon as they enter the Black Tower, then you can only say you're extremely unlucky!"

Sherlock kept lecturing Ye Feng about the benefits of the Dark Horse Fund market, how to get rich overnight, and how to make a fortune.

He didn't mention a word about negative consequences such as bankruptcy or freefall.

Clearly, Sherlock had no good intentions; he just wanted to drag Ye Feng down with him.

Ye Feng didn't care about such heretical ideas, because the two of them were not on the same path.

Sherlock was just dabbling in it.

Ye Feng is a daredevil.

In fact, in Ye Feng's eyes, Sherlock could be killed at any time, and heretics should not exist!

Apart from humans, all other life forms in the universe have no reason to exist.

Thus, the man and the goblin, each with their own ulterior motives, stepped into the Black Tower Guild.

The Black Tower Guild is located in the center of Lighthouse Star. In terms of scale, decoration, details, and furnishings, it can be called one of the most iconic buildings on Lighthouse Star.

But Ye Feng is only focused on going to the Black Tower and has no interest in any exotic scenery or architecture.

Sherlock walked ahead, saying repeatedly, "Brother, listening to me is definitely a wise choice. Follow me, and you'll have a villa by the stars! Let's open an account and register our identities! Please open an account for my brother!"

The staff of the Black Tower Guild handed over two holographic panel reports.

There are two registration forms: the Black Tower Registration Form and the Black Tower Guild Member Registration Form. The Black Tower Registration Form is used for entering information about entering the Black Tower, while the Black Tower Guild Member Registration Form is for ordinary people like Sherlock who do not enter the Black Tower for training.

Sherlock, holding the guild registration form, said, "Hey, buddy..."

Ye Feng picked up the Black Tower registration form and began filling it out.

Sherlock hurriedly said, "No, no, brother, you filled it out wrong. The form you have is for those who enter the Black Tower for training. This is the Fund Market Member User Form!"

Ye Feng pushed Sherlock away. "I didn't fill it in wrong. I want to enter the Black Tower."

Sherlock looked at Ye Feng hesitantly, "Are you crazy? Entering the Black Tower! That's a death sentence!"

At this moment, in the huge guild hall, on the three upper floors of the massive corridor, tens of thousands of beings of all kinds looked at Ye Feng, and discussions rose and fell.

"Is this guy crazy? Is he going to go to the Black Tower to die?"

"Another megalomaniac! Humph! That's the Black Tower, after all!"

"The Black Tower Trial, once begun, is a death sentence!"

"This guy looks ordinary. Is he even qualified to enter the Black Tower for training?"

"That's right, Black Tower's transaction fees aren't cheap!"
