Chapter 971: Adventure Two Point O – Part 1

Mayor Celap told everything about the mission to Tang Shaoyang and his group, including how to clear the third floor. The first and second floors had similar missions, killing the ruler or king, but it was totally different from the third floor. The third floor was another adventurer arc, the second one for Tang Shaoyang after Arkania.         

In order to clear the third floor, they had to be an adventurer and clear the quest to help the people. Each individual from the faction had to complete a hundred quests. That was a lot for sure, but they could clear the mission quickly if they took the easy quests. The problem was that a hundred easy quests would give them less reward.     

That was what Celap told him, but he could not tell if the Mayor was telling the truth or not. He could not know about that fact, and the mission to clear the third floor might be simpler than completing a hundred quests. Killing the Mayor himself, for example. The mission for the first floor was to kill the Boss that ruled the first floor. The second floor’s mission was to kill the King of one of the kingdoms. It was not a surprise the mission on the third floor was to kill the Mayor.     

There was only one way to prove that, killing the man in front of him. However, if he was wrong, he risked himself and the team by fighting the whole town. Not that he was afraid of it, but it would be harder for them to clear the third floor if Celap was telling the truth.     

“I can understand why you don’t trust me because most of the natives inside the Dimensional Tower are hostile to the traveler. However, I can prove to you that I am telling the truth. You can take one quest, then you will soon find out the truth.” Mayor Celap noticed the distrust in Tang Shaoyang’s tone.     

“If that’s the case, I will choose to trust you for now,” Tang Shaoyang made the decision, “I have a few questions before that. Why do you call us travelers instead of players?”     

Celap smiled, “We were once also players, but we were imprisoned by the system in the tower for its design. So, we are the same players, so it’s weird to call you a player. We decided to address you as a traveler because you come from outside the tower. While the other prisoners don’t like this place, we find this place is comforting compared to the outside tower.”     

“I want to know where my people are. Why only ten of us teleported to Murika?”     

“Ah, I forgot to explain that issue,” The Mayor put his palm on his forehead, “Your people are teleported to the other towns. We design that each town will receive ten travelers, so we can spread you out because we are afraid of conflict between factions. We don’t want our home to become a battleground for travelers. Another reason is that each town can get help from the travelers equally. Even though we are players, we have limited growth because of the tower’s design.”     

“There’s no need to worry about the clash between factions. The other factions are still stuck on the second floor, and only eleven factions have access to the Dimensional Tower as of now.” Tang Shaoyang explained the situation, “If each town receives ten people, does that mean there’s another group of my people in Quily?”     

“I am not sure about that, but I can send a letter to Quily to ask about your people if you want,” Mayor Celap shook his head, “However, most likely, your people are not in Quily but spread out in the continent equally. There are 1391 towns on this floor, and each group would be sent to the other towns randomly. There’s no pattern of how players teleported. The System does not allow us to regulate that even though we have the freedom to set the mission.”     

“I don’t think letters are efficient. We will visit Quily later by ourselves,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head. The journey to Quily was two weeks, which meant they needed to wait a month to get a reply. By that time, they might have finished one hundred quests.     

“I know you are racing against time to clear the first ten floors, but there’s no need for you to worry about that, Sir. The time inside the tower, or at least on this floor, the time flows three times faster than outside the tower. One day outside is three days on this floor.” Mayor Celap shared critical information with Tang Shaoyang, but the latter frowned.     

“If that’s the case, it only applies on this floor. The first two floors had the same flow of time as our world.”     

“Understandable because the System gives us the freedom to set the time that way,” Mayor Celap nodded, “If we are on the side of a group that wants to go out of the tower, then we won’t bother to set up the time for your convenience. We will do as much as we can to delay you and the other travelers from finishing the mission too, or maybe kill you if possible.”     

“If that’s the case, why don’t you and your group set up the easiest mission instead of completing a hundred quests?” Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow. The mission was much simpler, but it was a hassle. For him and his people to clear the third floor, all five hundred people along with him must complete a hundred quests. If one of them did not complete a hundred quests, they could not complete the mission.     

“While we don’t want to obstruct the traveler or get out of the tower, we still need help. The quests are issued by natives who have trouble or need help, so completing the quest is helping the native. Of course, you will not do it for free. The people who issue the quest will compensate you for the trouble,” Mayor Celap added.     

“I have nothing else to ask,” Tang Shaoyang glanced at his group, “Do you have any questions for Mayor Celap?” Everyone shook their heads, indicating they had nothing to ask.     

Thank for reading this chapter

“So, where do we receive the quest from? After completing a hundred quests, I will start looking for my people,” Tang Shaoyang had his plan. He brought the capable, but just in case, he wanted to meet them as soon as possible.     

Mayor Celap nodded, “Before we start, I want to remind you of something, Sir. While we don’t want to obstruct you from clearing the mission, there’s a group of people that will do everything to delay your mission. Be careful of them. Some of them were quite strong.”
