CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 268 ENDLESS TOWER RANKING

After Lin Yi came out of the private room in the tavern, he went straight to the Teleportation Array, choosing to head to the Netherworld Domain.

The moment Lin Yi stepped out of the Teleportation Array in the Netherworld Domain, he was greeted by the smell of volcanic ash.

As soon as Lin Yi walked out of the Teleportation Array, he sparked a heated discussion among those around him:

"Feng Hua, it’s actually Feng Hua."

"Is he here to challenge the Endless Tower too?"

"Nonsense, if you come here and don’t challenge the Endless Tower, are you just here to watch the volcano like you?"

"If he doesn’t come soon, he’s about to drop out of the top twenty."

"And that Satan J is too fierce, already on the 24th floor, no one knows how he got up there."

"I can’t even move on the 5th floor, these people are just abnormal."

"You managed to reach the 5th floor; I’m still stuck at the 4th."

"I just wonder how far this time Feng Hua can go; the World Forum right now is full of voices taunting Feng Hua."

Someone scoffed:

"Our drunk leader is already in the top ten; if you count Feng Hua as well, that means we have two people in the top ten. What makes them so arrogant?"

Besides these voices, there were also people who noticed the Jade Qilin and Golden Behemoth next to Lin Yi.

Everyone was familiar with the Jade Qilin.

Currently, the video and images of the Jade Qilin, labeled as the "Most Handsome Pet," were still hanging on the forum.

What was surprising to everyone, though, was the sudden appearance of the Golden Behemoth.

The fact that Lin Yi could have two pets made the surrounding players fill with envy.

Predictably, the next moment the forum would enter a new round of discussions about the Golden Behemoth.

However, compared to the allure of the Jade Qilin, the Golden Behemoth was indeed much less appealing.

At least for those beauty-loving girls, there was absolutely no love for the Behemoth.

As Lin Yi entered the Netherworld Domain, he listened to the discussions around while heading toward the sky-reaching Endless Tower at the village entrance.

The sky in the Netherworld Domain was as dim and lifeless as ever.

Anyone who stepped in here would have only one feeling: oppressive!

Because here, besides the players and those few NPCs, there was no sign of life to be seen.

Around the village was a world covered in red magma, thick smoke billowing, and haze spreading.

Above the Endless Tower, thick thunderclouds always rolled.

The low rumble of thunder felt like a giant’s heartbeat, inspiring awe and fear.

Lin Yi stopped for a moment at the entrance of the Endless Tower, looking at the top ten players displayed on the ancient wooden board.

Endless Tower Challenge Leaderboard:

First Place:

ID: Satan J / Floors Challenged: 24 (Clear Time 101:14:10).

Third Place:

Seventh Place:

Eighth Place:

ID: Brahma Heaven Emperor / Floors Challenged: 20 (Clear Time 53:36:15)

Ninth Place:

ID: Mi Wei / Floors Challenged: 20 (Clear Time 56:41:36)

Tenth Place:

ID: Shengshi Drunkard / Floors Challenged: 19 (Clear Time 53:36:15)

But Lin Yi’s ranking was...

Nineteenth Place:

ID: Feng Hua / Floors Challenged: 16 (Clear Time 00:18:57)

Lin Yi was surprised as he looked at the leaderboard. In just over two days, it was unexpected that the first place already reached the 24th floor. This speed was completely beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.

Moreover, looking at the top ten on the leaderboard, all of them had passed the 20th floor, except the tenth, Shengshi Drunkard, who remained on the 19th floor.

Judging from the discussions just now, it seems Drunkard is still inside the Endless Tower.

Lin Yi estimated that he might be attempting the 20th floor now.

Lin Yi compared the names on the leaderboard with those in his memory from the previous life and found.

Apart from Drunkard, only the second and fourth place left a deep impression on Lin Yi, while the others were completely unfamiliar, especially the first place.

In Lin Yi’s memory, in his previous life, the fierce Emperor Pu from Russia, was someone who occupied first place for a long time.

But in this life, he has fallen to second place, with a gap of two levels from the first, which made Lin Yi sigh deeply.

Who knows if such changes are the result of the butterfly effect from his own reincarnation.

As for that person named Yuna, she seems to be a player from Goryeo, you can tell it’s a woman just from the name.

The only female in the top ten of the rankings.

However, the unexpected rise of that Yamada Miki surprised Lin Yi even more.

To emerge suddenly among the world’s players using resources from an Island Country, who knows what opportunity this guy had, to become so powerful in a short time.

At least back when I was with the He Clan, he didn’t have the strength to rank in the world’s top ten.

But no matter what, now that I am here, these people’s rankings will have to shift back a bit.

Lin Yi saw those provocative posts on the World Forum; to make these people calm down and shut up, only a display of strength will be the most practical and effective.

As Lin Yi walked into the Endless Tower, he saw the old hag standing inside:

Ibayel Diuli Lv87

Endless Tower Guardian

Lin Yi didn’t expect to see this old hag’s level this time.

One has to know that in the previous life, even at level over 70, Lin Yi couldn’t see her level!

In the Rafam Continent level system, those who are level 85 and above have passed the Divine Tribulation and entered the Divine Domain.

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but who would have thought that this seemingly feeble old hag is level 87, it’s simply shocking.

Perhaps she is the strongest person Lin Yi has met in this entire game in this life.

But apart from this, the old hag showed no change in expression or movement upon his arrival this time.

"Respected challenger, would you like to continue the challenge?"

[Yes][Later]

Lin Yi first clasped his hands to the old hag as a gesture:

"I am troubled."

Then he clicked the option: [Yes].

Next, as Lin Yi’s vision blurred, he found himself in a dark and damp cave the next moment.

Not far from him, one after another, bumpy bugs were all over the entire passage.

Regardless of their strength, they looked extremely disgusting.

Cave Maggot Lv30

Life Value: 3500/3500

[Endless Tower Challenge 17th Layer]

Task Requirement: Clear all monsters in the cave.

Fixed Reward: Rare Equipment Lv30 for this profession ×1; Gold Coins ×20.

★★ (Excellent): Meet the task requirements within 60 minutes;

★ (Average): No time limit.

Special Requirement 1: Death means challenge failure.

Special Requirement 2: Cannot use any healing items.

Faced with such a task, Lin Yi’s ’Cheating’ is clearly unusable.

But fine, take it as an opportunity to level up both himself and the Golden Behemoth.

Then Lin Yi said to the Jade Qilin:

"Ian, protect Little Gold, just follow me, it’s still too weak right now."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Qilin immediately swaggered and pointed at the Golden Behemoth:

"Little Gold, get behind me and let the boss protect you."

Seeing the Golden Behemoth look to him for guidance, Lin Yi chuckled and said:

"Go ahead."

"Oh."

Receiving Lin Yi’s approval, the Golden Behemoth obediently went behind the Jade Qilin.

Yet, at this time, the Jade Qilin wasn’t satisfied and even used its hoof to teach the Golden Behemoth:

"I’m your boss, how can my words not be heeded?"

"From now on, just do whatever I say, understand?"

"A subordinate should have the awareness of a subordinate, got it..."

Listening to the Jade Qilin in the rear as it solemnly ’taught’ the Golden Behemoth, what should have been a majestic and awe-inspiring mythical beast, got portrayed like a rogue by this fellow, leaving Lin Yi quite speechless.

Looking at those experiences, oh no, just little monsters in the cave.

Lin Yi stretched his body, his eyes hardened:

"Let’s start working."
