Chapter 306 Food is the Original Sin
Chen Yifan returned to his dormitory and immediately connected the data chip Xia Nan had given him to his identity bracelet.
A massive amount of information flooded in instantly.
The Tower of Ascension, from the eleventh to the twentieth floor, includes a map of each floor, information on monster types, skill lists, attack patterns, and spawn patterns.
Even the spawn points of some extremely hidden traps and rare materials are clearly marked.
The level of detail in this guide far exceeded his expectations.
Xia Nan really went to great lengths to win me over.
and also……
Such detailed information.
It was as if they were afraid he wouldn't make it.
Chen Yifan's gaze finally settled on the information of the BOSS on the twentieth floor.
[Twentieth Floor Boss: Abyss Demon (Lv.55 - Lord Level)]
【Characteristics: High agility, high magic resistance, immune to physical attacks, proficient in mental attacks and shadow spells.】
[Strategy Tips: Players with strong physical burst damage should focus their attacks on the BOSS's energy core during the three-second weakened state after the BOSS uses the 'Shadow Devour' skill.]
Immunity to physical attacks?
Chen Yifan frowned.
It's that disgusting mechanism again.
However, at the end of the guide, there was a line of special information marked in red that caught his attention.
[Special Information: Starting from the twentieth floor of the Tower of Ascension, a 'Clearance Rating' system will be activated. The rating will be based on a comprehensive evaluation of multiple dimensions, including completion time, combat performance, and damage taken. When the rating reaches the legendary 'Extreme' level, there is an extremely low chance of obtaining a fragment of the 'World Core' from the completion treasure chest.]
Fragments of the core of the world!
Chen Yifan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He remembered the thing mentioned in Li Yuantu's diary and Lin Tian's intelligence report, which was an "item" capable of altering the rules of reality!
So this thing really was inside the Tower of Ascension!
In an instant, all his plans had a clear objective.
Break through the tower!
Reach the twentieth floor as fast as you can!
Then, do everything you can to get that "Extreme" rating!
If he could obtain a fragment of the World Core, he would have the opportunity to rely on his talent.
Deciphering higher-level rules of power
It can even completely break free from the constraints of the [World Engine]!
However, just as he was about to set off for the Tower of Ascension again, Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu came looking for him.
"Fanzi, we need to discuss something."
Wang Fugui rubbed his hands together, his face showing a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
"explain."
Chen Yifan hid the strategy information and looked up at them.
"Um...we'd like you to take us to the arena and play a few matches."
Lin Xiaoyu mustered her courage and spoke, her eyes filled with determination.
"arena?"
Chen Yifan looked at the two of them with confusion.
Then he suddenly remembered that Wang Fugui had told him something before he went to find Li Yuantu.
I almost forgot.
"right!"
Wang Fugui suddenly patted his chest.
"I've been training in the dorm these past few days, I feel like I'm going to get moldy! Besides, we want to get stronger! We don't want to hold you back anymore!"
During the Black Forest Manor incident, Chen Yifan's words, "You will only be a burden if you go," deeply stung them.
Wang Fugui, in particular, dreamed of fighting alongside Chen Yifan, instead of always hiding behind him and watching his back.
Lin Xiaoyu felt the same way; she didn't want to be like before, helplessly watching Chen Yifan face danger alone from behind.
They knew the gap between themselves and Chen Yifan, but they didn't want to give up catching up.
Chen Yifan looked at the two people in front of him.
He could sense the urgent anxiety emanating from the two of them.
In this semi-gamified world, weakness means being eliminated by the rules at any time.
Wang Qingyun's warning was still ringing in his ears.
The truth about heretics and the harvesting by the divine court are too far removed from ordinary professionals, so far that they are not even qualified to know the truth.
Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu's current power system is entirely dependent on the [World Engine].
If disaster were to strike and the engine were to break down, they would instantly lose all their superhuman abilities.
"We need to find a way to let them also experience true power..."
A thought flashed through Chen Yifan's mind.
In the end, it was put aside for the time being.
With his current strength, the genetic lock, the mental lock...
They have absolutely no ability to help others open it.
He was lucky.
The soul of a behavioral time traveler.
Without the mental lock, and just happened to meet Luo Tian.
Otherwise, he would remain in the dark forever.
"I'll take you to the arena."
"However, let me make this clear first."
His expression turned serious.
"Battles between people are not like running through a dungeon. Your opponents will use all sorts of tactics and unimaginable schemes."
"There, food is the original sin."
"If you're scared, it's not too late to back out now."
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Fugui pounded his chest loudly. "Fanzi, just you wait and see!"
Lin Xiaoyu nodded heavily, her eyes showing no sign of backing down.
"Walk."
Chen Yifan said no more and led the two of them straight to the multi-purpose sports arena located in the east area of the school.
The gymnasium at Kyoto University of Technology.
It is a magnificent building, resembling the ancient Roman Colosseum, covering a vast area.
It is divided into hundreds of battle arenas of different sizes, from one-on-one arenas to team battle zones that can simulate various complex terrains.
This is the liveliest place on campus besides the Sky Tower.
Every day, countless students come here to hone their skills, fight, settle scores, or simply vent their excess energy.
Chen Yifan rented a medium-sized team simulation battle room directly at the service desk using his academic credits and started the "life-or-death battle" mode.
In this mode, the system will adjust the pain perception of both parties to 100%.
Although you won't actually die, the feeling of being injured is exactly the same as in real life.
He also enabled the random matching function.
"Fanzi, are you serious?"
Stepping into the battle room, watching the alloy walls slowly rise around him, Wang Fugui swallowed hard. The environment here was somber and cold, completely different from the exhilarating scene he had imagined.
"Otherwise what? You think this is child's play?"
Chen Yifan said calmly,
"Remember, from now on, I am not your friend, I am your captain. What you have to do is obey my orders unconditionally."
"yes!"
The two responded in unison.
Soon, a system notification sound rang out.
【Successful match! 】
Opponent: Iron-Blooded Team (three members)
Average level: Lv.39
[Battle Mode: Team Elimination]
[Battle Map: Randomly Generated... Abandoned Factory]
As the notification sound ended, the ground beneath the three people began to change drastically, and the surrounding scenery rippled outwards like water.
A few seconds later.
They found themselves in a huge factory filled with rusty containers and discarded machinery.
The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of engine oil and rust.
"The opposing team consists of three senior students, with a standard class composition: a berserker, an archer, and an elemental mage."
Chen Yifan's [Mind's Eye] instantly swept across the entire battlefield, revealing the opponent's location and information clearly.
"Fatty, you stay in front and find an opportunity to use [Savage Charge] to disrupt their formation."
"Xiaoyu, you stay behind and use the Frost Vines to restrict the berserker's movement. Take care of the archer first."
"I'll sneak up behind them and find an opportunity to take down their mage instantly," Chen Yifan quickly gave the order.
This is a very conventional and safe tactic.
"clear!"
Wang Fugui roared, raised his tower shield, and charged towards his opponent like a human tank.
Lin Xiaoyu also took a deep breath, and the staff in her hand glowed faintly.
Battle is imminent.
However, Chen Yifan did not sneak up behind him as he had said.
He simply retreated silently into the shadows of a shipping container, calmly observing the battlefield like a bystander.
What he wanted to see was not how they won.
The real question is how many mistakes they will make.
