CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 430: YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM ME?

Countdown to the Titan Secret Realm opening: 18:52:42

"49th floor, Feng Hua is on the 49th floor!"

When someone noticed Lin Yi entering the Endless Tower, they kept a close watch on the Endless Tower rankings.

And afterwards, Lin Yi did not disappoint, spending a few hours overtaking Satan J, who had reached the 47th floor, once again becoming the number one on the Endless Tower leaderboard.

Because of yesterday’s update of the World Power Ranking, everyone was somewhat mentally prepared for this and wasn’t as excited as before.

But in fact, those with a keen eye will notice that there are some differences between the power rankings and the Endless Tower leaderboard.

The power rankings are calculated based on elements like player equipment and pets.

High power does not necessarily mean the player is stronger.

This point is very clear when looking at the two leaderboards.

Not all of the top ten players in the power rankings appear in the top ten of the Endless Tower, which is quite telling.

The reason for this disparity is because:

The Endless Tower tests the player’s actual combat ability, so many have realized that the power ranking has some inflated numbers.

As everyone saw Lin Yi stuck on the 49th floor, they couldn’t help but speculate:

"Do you think this time Feng Hua can reach the 50th floor?"

However, the players focusing on this from the Hua Country War Zone all enthusiastically affirmed:

"Isn’t that obvious? Of course, he’ll reach the 50th floor!"

Someone else sighed from the side:

"I want to see if this Endless Tower really has no limit."

In response, some started self-deprecatingly:

"They’ve already reached the 50th floor, and I’m stuck on the 20th floor, unable to move, it really makes one feel inadequate!"

"You at least reached the 20th floor, should I be proud that I’m still on the 15th floor?"

While everyone was discussing Lin Yi’s tower challenge, Lin Yi had already returned to the Floating City from the Endless Tower.

Originally, Lin Yi aimed to break through the 50th floor to see if another hidden quest would be triggered.

After all, there was a hidden quest in the Floating City on the 30th floor;

The 40th floor triggered a hidden quest with the Winged Race;

Both times brought immense rewards to Lin Yi, so Lin Yi was curious about the surprises on the 50th floor.

However, the 50th floor’s boss was too monstrous, and even though Lin Yi used all his means, he couldn’t kill it.

Lin Yi challenged it twice in a row and both ended in failure, with the boss still having about 10% health left, leaving him helpless.

When Lin Yi returned to the Floating City this time, the scene was vastly different from when it was first occupied by the Demon Race.

The blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds;

The warm sunlight shone down, giving the magnificent city a hazy, sacred glow.

Unique buildings stood tall, and flowers and green trees lined the streets, adding vibrancy to the city.

When Lin Yi looked, all he saw were players from various world battle zones dressed in exotic costumes, bustling about.

Of course, what probably attracted the most attention now were the Winged Race players flying around in the sky.

Seeing this scene, a virtual city immediately came to Lin Yi’s mind: Sky City, also known as the City of Freedom.

Lin Yi’s sudden appearance naturally caused a stir, but over time, players were no longer as crazed as at the start.

No longer would they surround you layer after layer.

In addition, Lin Yi’s approachable and down-to-earth personality meant people respected him genuinely rather than idolizing him mindlessly.

Of course, Lin Yi also sensed some deeply hostile gazes around him.

Lin Yi didn’t even need to look to know where these hostile players were from, but they could only glare.

After witnessing Lin Yi’s prowess, no one dared trouble him privately.

Just as Lin Yi prepared to teleport to the City Lord’s Mansion, he suddenly received a private message from Banxia Liuli.

Even though they only temporarily teamed up for the trial event yesterday, Lin Yi still added them as friends.

After all, being matched together among hundreds of thousands of players is a form of fate, isn’t it?

Lin Yi glanced at Banxia Liuli’s message, hesitated in place for a moment, and then replied.

Feng Hua (private chat): "Wait for me there for a bit, I’m coming over now."

...

Meanwhile, in a tavern private room in the Vermilion Bird City, an Elf Priestess named ’Su Yan Lan Yan’ asked Banxia Liuli next to her:

"Do you think Master Feng Hua will agree to our request?"

At this moment, Banxia Liuli also looked uneasy and said:

"I don’t know either."

Initially, Banxia Liuli hadn’t planned on reaching out to Lin Yi.

After all, she and Lin Yi only became teammates by chance during an event and spent a few hours together.

Moreover, during that time, she didn’t really help much and mostly relied on others to assist her.

In terms of feelings, Banxia Liuli thought that her relationship with Feng Hua was just a chance encounter at best.

But she couldn’t resist her friend and roommate’s persistent persuasion and finally had to muster the courage to reach out.

Just then, Banxia Liuli suddenly received Lin Yi’s reply and couldn’t hide her excitement:

"He replied, he replied."

"Ah!!!"

Su Yan Lan Yan screamed excitedly:

"Really, really?"

"What did he say? Tell me quickly."

As she spoke, she excitedly tugged at Banxia Liuli’s robe, making Banxia Liuli laugh helplessly.

Banxia Liuli rolled her eyes at her friend and said somewhat irritably:

"Can you calm down and listen to me?"

Su Yan Lan Yan realized she was indeed over-excited.

Even though she let go of Banxia Liuli, her face was still full of passion.

Banxia Liuli shared Lin Yi’s reply:

"He said he’ll be here soon and asked us to wait."

But just after she finished speaking, Banxia Liuli received a system prompt:

"Player ’Feng Hua’ requests to enter the private room. Please choose:"

[Accept][Decline]

Banxia Liuli’s eyes widened in shock, not able to respond:

"So fast!"

Su Yan Lan Yan instantly understood:

"Is he here?"

Banxia Liuli glanced at the door, nodded:

"Yes."

"Right at the door."

"Oh no, oh no!"

Su Yan Lan Yan suddenly seemed nervous and at a loss:

"Banxia, can you help me check, how do I look today?"

"Does this outfit match me?"

"What kind of girl do you think Master Feng Hua likes?"

"What should I say when I see Master Feng Hua?"

...

Banxia Liuli, who had been extremely nervous earlier, became less anxious upon seeing her friend’s state.

At least compared to her, she had spent some time with him, hadn’t she?

Thinking of this, Banxia Liuli calmed her nervousness and excitement and chose:

[Accept]

Then, the door opened, and Lin Yi walked in wearing a white robe, smiling at Banxia Liuli:

"You wanted to see me?"
