Chapter 13: Conspiracy!
Three days after the new player came online.
Everything started to become orderly, most of the players entering the tower had already put on leather equipment.
Different ways to defeat low-level demon beasts have been frequently discussed on the forum.
The strategy of the five-person team has been shared, but other players have found it difficult to surpass Fang Ze and his group's progress.
In other words, the efficiency of other players' five-person teams in killing monsters is far behind Fang Ze's team.
So far.
Only Fang Ze's team has been able to defeat middle-level demon beasts without any casualties.
In Chen Ye's design.
Killing a low-level demon beast yields 10 copper coins, 10 points of fame, and a complete Ordinary Soul Origin.
The rewards for defeating a middle-level demon beast are 20 copper coins, 20 points of fame, and a complete Ordinary Soul Origin.
High-level demon beasts provide 30 copper coins, 30 points of fame, and a complete Ordinary Soul Origin.
The benefits of demon beasts may seem to increase layer by layer, but the benefits of Soul Essence remain constant.
This is because regardless of their rank, the soul lifespan of these demon beasts is ten years.
The difference in rank among demon beasts lies only in the concentration of demonic energy in their bodies.
The higher the concentration of demonic energy, the stronger the monster's abilities will be, leading to the classification into high and low levels.
Demonic energy originates from the first-layer sealed boss.
The original demon beast, Fenrir.
The closer you are to the central area, the stronger the demonic energy emitted by Fenrir, and the monsters in the center will also become more powerful.
The place where players are initially teleported to is only the edge area of the first layer, with only some low-level demon beasts with sparse demonic energy.
Similar to demonized hounds, demonized snakes, and other small demon beasts.
The middle-level demon beasts are much bigger in size, including demonized vultures, demonized lions, and other medium-sized demon beasts.
The high-level demon beasts include demonized bears, demonized pythons, and other demon beasts.
Further up are two elite monsters, but players currently cannot encounter them.
Including the boss Fenrir sealed on this floor, players cannot encounter them.
Because they are not the main bosses.
The main boss on the first floor is a human named Larik, who is the Guardian of this floor.
He is the human who sealed Fenrir according to the design.
From the beginning, the Gravekeeper explained that this is a Tower of Seals.
And each floor has a Guardian (heir).
If the player kills the Guardian, then the boss sealed at the corresponding level will be released.
In other words, if the player kills the Guardian on the first level.
Then Fenrir will be unsealed, escaping the Tower of Seals and becoming a boss outside the tower!
It all started with one of Chen Ye's dark interests.
The Gravekeeper is not actually a caretaker, but a cultist.
Cursed by an ancient being inside the tower, he gained eternal life but was bound to never leave.
Only when that being is unsealed can he break free from the curse of immortality and gain true freedom.
So the Gravekeeper will guide and encourage players to enter the Tower of Seals.
And deceive the players to defeat the Guardian of the Tower of Seals!
Just like he said at the beginning.
Inside this tower are many opportunities and ancient legacies, waiting for players to explore and discover!
In reality, every time a player defeats a Guardian, a sealed boss will escape from here!
Naturally, the territory outside the tower will also expand.
If this continues, the world will become extremely chaotic!
The ancient disasters sealed inside the tower will return to this land!
Finally, all these settings will be applied to reality!
If no one enters the tower to defeat the Guardians, then this world will not suffer from the invasion of heretics at the same time.
Of course, extraordinary beings will also not be born.
So, the players' starting point was wrong from the beginning.
They were never treasure hunters looking for opportunities in the tower, nor adventurers exploring unknown lands.
They were the culprits who uncovered the seals of the gods, causing the world to collapse!
All of this was naturally orchestrated by Chen Ye!
He wanted the players to open Pandora's box themselves, blaming no one but the influence of greed!
But what if someone noticed the truth of the game during play?
If they have already discovered the truth about the Tower of Seals, they will naturally reveal this information after the game is over.
So does that mean no one will enter the tower?
Actually, no. You see, where there's a reward, there's sure to be someone willing to take the risk!
Inside the Tower of Seals, there are several paths that can help players ascend to godhood!
No one can resist that level of power!
Simply put, those who are determined will act promptly.
They don't care about the chaos of the real world. They only seek to gain the power of the gods and control everything themselves!
And as long as one person thinks that way, there will surely be a second!
Human greed knows no bounds. Even if they know it's wrong, they will still take that step without hesitation!
Chen Ye, who watched everything in the sky, thought for a moment.
"The index is almost enough, but increasing the number of players too quickly is not good. Let's take a break for a few days."
"These players are progressing quite fast. In less than ten days, they have already conquered the edge zone of the first level."
"By doing this, they can explore the core area of the first level once they find the first layer of the mines and arsenal."
"But it's not easy to get into the core area of the first level."
"They also need to solve a puzzle."
"The cunning wolf, bound by the snake, is held by the deceitful owl, who is chaotic and unclear."
"Only by solving this puzzle can the players enter the core area of the first level to meet the Guardian."
In Chen Ye's design, each layer of the Tower of Seals is actually like a small world of its own.
And each layer has a different ecosystem.
The first level is mainly abundant in mineral resources.
Not only are there copper, iron, and coal mines, and other real-world minerals, but also minerals created by Chen Ye himself!
One of them is Violet Gold, which is as hard as a diamond.
There are magical ores with inherent magic conductivity and magical crystals containing a large amount of demonic energy.
It's impossible for players to handle these special ores themselves.
Players can only find a way to handle those special ores after awakening the legendary dwarf craftsman in the first level of the Tower of Seals.
The dwarf craftsman will tell the players about this puzzle.
Only by solving the puzzle can players go deeper into the core area.
Because Chen Ye knows that if this dwarf craftsman appears.
Then the player's equipment level can instantly indicate a higher level.
At that time, they can easily break into the first level of the core area.
So, to slow down the game progress, Chen Ye intentionally set up this puzzle.
"Even if someone can solve the puzzle in the shortest time, it doesn't matter."
"Anyway, the fifth level boss has been defeated, and there are plenty of resources, so we can try converting items."
Chen Ye had already decided what to convert, but before converting, he needed to clarify one thing.
That means the transformed item or ability cannot have Absolute Characteristic!
Absolute Characteristic is basically when something happens without being affected by anything else!
For example, an arrow that always hits its target as soon as it's shot, or a bread that destroys the universe when it touches the ground!
Once something created by Chen Ye has Absolute Characteristic, the cost of creating it becomes extremely high.
There are also some features that ignore physical rules, like a statue unaffected by gravity, or fire that can merge with water!
The cost of creating these things will not be low.
Unless Chen Ye deliberately writes a physical concept, such as water can actually merge with fire.
But this is like directly changing the laws of reality.
In other words, the rules of the real world will be directly altered!
It's like Chen Ye wanting to practice immortality, he first has to define what immortality means.
What abilities do immortals have?
You need to establish these settings first.
Then he needs to establish a medium, like if people don't eat or drink for a certain time, they can become immortal.
This is directly altering the laws of reality.
And not just Chen Ye, but everyone can become immortal through this method!
So the best way is to create a small object, carrying which can grant special abilities.
Or, creating a bottle of potion!
Just by drinking this potion, one can gain abilities!
