Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Pressing Closer with Every Step!
For Lu Ran, this was simple.
Lu Ran didn’t even bother to look at what boss was on the 54th floor.
After entering, he directly threw a Blood Spear.
Gained experience, then exited.
Outside, the three others were still watching the global rankings of the Endless Tower.
Sure enough, the moment Lu Ran came out, the rankings changed as well.
Already twelfth place!
"Not bad, looks like we’re about to enter the top ten." Ye Hongyi said with satisfaction.
Only Lei Tai had a strange expression.
Frustrated, he said, "Yeah, this kid is about to enter the top ten, and I’m about to enter the top ten too! I’ve been trying for half a year but haven’t been able to climb another level! Damn it!"
Right above Lu Ran was Lei Tai in eleventh place.
Although Lei Tai had passed the 55th floor, because it took him the longest among the few people on the 55th floor, he was at the bottom of the rankings.
But this was already quite an achievement.
You must know, Lei Tai is not a Strong Attack Series profession, but a tank!
The output is not strong, and the fact that he managed to bulldoze his way to the 55th floor is already an extreme achievement.
Unless Lei Tai continues to level up to 65, unlocks new skills, or gets new equipment, such as the equipment from the Black Dragon team dungeon, there is hope to continue to challenge higher floors.
But leveling up is extremely difficult and very slow!
At the current stage, it’s also impossible to obtain equipment from the Black Dragon Mountain range.
And even if Lei Tai’s level increases, new skills are unlocked, and he gets the right equipment.
Other professionals are not standing still either, Lei Tai would be lucky to maintain his ranking.
"Let’s go eat." Liu Xinxin said with satisfaction.
In the dungeon hall behind them.
The bustling crowd all paused their steps, all staring in unison at the global rankings of the Endless Tower.
"Didn’t I say? That Undead Mage big shot won’t stop just like that."
"It’s already the fifty-fourth floor, my God, is this still an Undead Mage?"
"Two floors in one day? Come rain or shine?"
"I suspect this big shot is doing it on purpose!"
"On purpose my ass, who wouldn’t climb higher if they could? Surely it’s constant attempts every day, and today they were lucky to climb another level."
"If tomorrow morning this big shot climbs another level, I’ll live stream eating shit!"
"I advise them not to continue, they might just get killed one of these times."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
At Ikenai Grand Shrine of Japan.
Nanami was feeling very upset!
The deal with the U.S.A has yet to get a response, she’s willing to pay, but the U.S.A is unwilling to sell!
After all, at this critical moment, giving other countries Black Dragon Mountain Range equipment still has a significant impact on national battles.
The only reason to seek a deal with Yu Qingcang was entirely due to coveting Hades’ Crystal Skull!
Left with no choice, Nanami could only lead her team to challenge the Black Dragon Mountain range, still at the easiest normal difficulty.
But still returned defeated.
This time, in a team of fifty people, over thirty died, a more significant loss than any previous attempts!
Looking at the remnants of her team with darkened expressions.
Nanami was so desperate she wanted to go crazy.
"Organize the personnel, and we’ll keep trying tomorrow. Before the national battle, no matter what, we must conquer the Black Dragon Mountain Range!" Nanami said harshly.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces looked increasingly bitter.
This damn woman talks big, but she hides behind others when inside, arranging several healers to ensure her health.
The other teammates die valiantly!
Continuing to try is not a problem, but it’s others who die!
But in Japan, no one dared to disobey Nanami’s orders, so they had to agree.
At this moment, a maid imprudently walked over.
"That Undead Mage broke through again just after six o’clock, passed the 54th floor, now ranking twelfth." the maid cautiously said.
Nanami, who was already irritated, upon hearing this, nearly exploded on the spot!
"Again with that Undead Mage, only the fifty-fourth floor, so what if they’ve passed? Cleared one layer in the morning, another at night, takes a whole day to clear one, what’s there to report about this?" Nanami cursed.
But upon saying this, Nanami suddenly paused.
Suddenly feeling something strange.
Usually, for other professionals, if you’re stuck in the Endless Tower, you’re truly stuck, it’s unrelated to technique, it’s entirely a matter of equipment, level, and skill damage pairing values.
If you can’t beat it, you can’t beat it!
It’s not something you can luckily pass by continuous trying.
Once is luck, but what about twice? Three times?
That Undead Mage, over these past two days, occasionally making a push, one in the morning, another in the evening, like clocking in and out of work, treating the Endless Tower like a game? Can it really be played this way?
The maid, reprimanded a few times, dared not speak anymore.
Nanami suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, if that Undead Mage climbs another floor, report to me immediately. Everyone else, prepare equipment, consumables, team profession combination plans, and grouping, hand it to me by tonight, we’ll continue trying the Black Dragon Mountain Range tomorrow, that’s it!"
After speaking, Nanami turned and left.
The members behind her sighed one after another.
This Nanami is getting crazier and crazier!
Early the next morning.
Lu Ran and the three guild leaders gathered, and upon arriving at the dungeon hall, they immediately went to the Endless Tower to report, clock in, and without hesitation, launched an overnight charged Blood Spear, took out the 55th floor boss, and came out.
As simple as drinking cold water.
Although Lu Ran’s current magic attack isn’t that high, under the charging of the Blood Spear, at this stage of the Endless Tower, Lu Ran enters and insta-kills!
No suspense at all!
The news, naturally, also reached Japan’s ears at first instance.
Nanami, already early up and having organized fifty team members, formed a large team, counted the headcount, checked groupings, profession arrangements, as well as consumable supplies, etcetera.
But in the process, Nanami remained uneasy, as if a thorn was stuck in her heart, unable to swallow or pull it out.
Seeing the team almost completely organized.
Nanami took a deep breath, calmed herself, and discarded the thoughts of that Undead Mage from her mind.
Only then did she step forward, about to lead the team to depart.
Just then, the maid approached with small hurried steps, her feet pattering.
Seeing the maid appear, Nanami’s liver quivered.
She was not accustomed to using a communication device; unless in urgent circumstances, notifications were usually required to be delivered to her face-to-face.
Yet now, she somewhat resisted this rule.
"President..." the maid’s face was somewhat troubling, even unsure whether to speak or not.
"Don’t panic, say it slowly, what’s the matter?" Nanami forced a smile, feigning calm.
"That Undead Mage... passed the 55th floor, now... now tenth place, the dungeon hall has already exploded, probably globally, all professionals are focused on that Undead Mage," the maid gritted her teeth and said.
Nanami’s expression froze instantly.
That guy, actually climbed another floor!
"What time did they pass? How long did it take?" Nanami asked calmly.
"Eight-thirty, the same time as yesterday, as for the clearing time, there have been three people now on the 55th floor, and he still took the shortest time among them." the maid stated.
