Chapter 98: Welcome to the Second Level!
Welcome to…
[Tower of Seals, Second Floor]
When these words appeared in front of everyone, they were all very excited!
"Finally reached the second floor!"
"The second floor seems even bigger than the first floor, doesn’t it?"
"How is that possible? The Tower Climbing Law should make each floor smaller as we go up."
"Hold on, look at the map first, buddy."
"This map isn’t clear, what the…heck?"
When a player opened the map, they were stunned.
Even though the map was still dark and not fully open, the outline appeared to be just as big as, if not larger than, the first floor!
Is this map getting bigger as we go up?
This…
Wow, this is too exciting!
Ye Qiu wasn’t surprised at all, the map really does get bigger as we go up.
Because the Tower of Seals is built up from countless continents.
You could say, each level is like a small world.
Just as everyone was marveling, an official update announcement suddenly came out!
Many players went to check the announcement.
After seeing the school and the expansion of the map outside, many players directly left the second level to explore outside.
Fang Ze and the others also went.
Ye Qiu was hesitating whether to search for the Sword of Death Eaters on the second floor.
The Sword of Death Eaters, as a weapon that can grow stronger, may be weak in the beginning but has great potential.
However…
Where did the Sword of Death Eaters come from?
To be honest, although Ye Qiu has a good memory, he is not able to remember everything.
As time passed since his rebirth, some things became more unclear to him.
Even though he took notes right away, jotting down most of what he knew, there were still some gaps.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qiu couldn’t remember, so he sighed, "Oh well, I’ll just have to rely on luck."
The teleportation point on the second level is at a junction.
It’s called a junction mainly because the second level is divided into two terrains.
One is a normal green land, the other is a pale snowy land.
These two terrains each occupy half of the map.
Corresponding to two different countries.
Yes, there are humans in the world of the second level.
And they are humans who can communicate normally.
The city on the left green land is called City of Storms, with a king named White Emperor.
The city on the right snowy land is called the City of Ice, with a king named Black Emperor.
The two countries kept fighting for many generations because of different beliefs.
This is the main theme of the second level.
The war between two countries.
Players can choose to join one side, or stay neutral and move between both countries.
Of course, the final outcome will be the defeat of one country.
It all depends on the player’s choices.
If they choose to support the White Emperor and defeat the Black Emperor, then the world will be ruled by the White Emperor.
Conversely, if players support the Black Emperor and defeat the White Emperor, then the world will be ruled by the Black Emperor.
Everything depends on the player’s choices.
But Ye Qiu thought that most people would probably support White Emperor.
"After all, White Emperor represents the human side."
。。。
Outside the tower.
The players held a meeting to discuss what they should do for the upcoming beast tide!
Otherwise, it’s easy to deal with the houses in the central area, but the players’ houses in the outer regions will be destroyed by the beast tide’s siege!
After some discussion, everyone decided to build a wall around all the players’ houses to protect them!
"With this scale, we’ll need too many bricks and resources."
"Do you have a better idea then?"
"I… don’t have."
"Then it’s all done."
"You need to know one thing, we don’t have many players, but we have a lot of people!"
"Isn’t Xirang refreshed every day? Let’s all go together and dig up to the daily limit!"
"Get another group of people to build dozens of kilns, this plan is definitely feasible!"
"Well, not to mention a billion people working together, even if we can get five million people to work together, this can happen."
"But how are we going to deal with the main gate?"
"Since we’re going to enclose a city wall, we should start by keeping a gate, right?"
"Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave."
"That’s easy, just use iron nails and bars to reinforce the wooden boards, put two boards side by side and make a double door!"
"In that case, the door would be too heavy. It might be better to use a rope and pulley system to lift a wooden board up as the door."
"That would be too fragile, it could easily break with just one poke!"
"How about digging a moat?"
"No, we would lose too much land that way, and the outside land would still be usable."
"We could just enclose the existing houses, slowly develop the outside, and then build another layer of city walls."
"Expand layer by layer outward, build the city walls higher and thicker, it can easily support archers to play attack and defense battles on top of the walls!"
"So should we stick with the reinforced double doors?"
"I agree, even though opening them might be tough, requiring a dozen players to push together, the advantage is that monsters can’t get in."
"Well, let’s put four big gates around the four main roads, it will be easier that way."
"I agree."
"I second the motion."
"By the way, what do you do for work in real life?"
"I work in civil engineering."
"Wow, it’s not easy to find someone who really understands architecture."
"Well, it’s not that great. Even though I study civil engineering in real life, I don’t often get a chance to practice."
"Let’s not talk about that, look at this guy here."
"This guy works on concrete horizontal transport engineering in real life, he’s a big shot among us."
"Um… working as a laborer?"
"Yes."
。。。
Over there, life players and construction players are having a blast, while combat players are exploring outside.
Although it’s said that small monsters appear outside at night, there are so few of them that they’re not even worth bothering with.
After wandering in the wilderness for a few days, the group discovered that the map of this wilderness is not just twenty times larger than the original map.
It’s almost the size of two counties!
Darn it…
So exciting!
Running around the map all day long!
Later, some players also found several schools and kindly shared their locations on the forum.
Fang Ze looked at the locations of the twelve schools on the forum and realized that their positions followed a pattern.
The arrangement of the twelve schools is like the twelve numbers on a clock!
Taking the Tower of Seals as the central point, the whole map looked like an endlessly large clock!
With this idea in mind, finding these schools became very simple.
After two days of searching, Fang Ze finally found the Blazing Fire School.
From afar, these schools looked like small towns.
There were guards in front of the gates!
The buildings at the Blazing Fire School are all in red and gold colors, with many flags hanging on the walls.
The red flags have a golden blaze pattern on them.
Most NPCs at the Blazing Fire School are dressed in fiery red robes.
However, these robes are not all the same. Some have gold trim, showing a more prestigious status.
They each have a badge on their chest, with a blaze pattern and several stars on it.
The stars represent the level of Blaze wizards they are.
The highest level has nine stars.
The lowest level has one star.
Fang Ze walked forward, only to be stopped by two wizards.
"Outsider?"
