Shanghai City, Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Main Auditorium
A gigantic black stone monument was erected on a high platform in the auditorium. The stone monument was filled with dense white text that constantly changed.
There were hundreds of people sitting in the auditorium. Most of them were middle-aged men and women, but there were also some young or old people. There were also people holding cameras that looked like reporters.
These hundreds of people were very quiet. No one said a word. Nearly all of them were staring intently at the gigantic stone monument on the platform.
But suddenly, the silence in the auditorium was completely broken at a particular moment. The hundreds of people exclaimed like a frying pan.
At that moment, a row of bright green text appeared on the stone monument!
"The first person to clear the level is out? So fast? "
"Thirteen seconds … He broke the record for the fastest person to clear the first level!"
"Eh? Shi Xiaobai … Why don't I have any impression of this name? "
"I think I've heard of it somewhere …"
"I remember now. Isn't this Shi Xiaobai the double S-class genius that suddenly disappeared from Gaia?"
"Gaia? Impossible! How can a second-rate organization like Gaia have such a talent? "
"No, he's a rookie from Gaia. My database still has some information regarding Shi Xiaobai."
"Ss … Is Gaia about to rise?"
“.....”
Yama Minamiya and Riko were also sitting in a corner of the auditorium. They were extremely shocked and pleasantly surprised. From time to time, people would come over to ask if Shi Xiaobai was a rookie from Gaia. There were even reporters who came over to ask about Shi Xiaobai's deeds. The two of them immediately felt 'flattered'.
Shi Xiaobai's sudden move stunned nearly everyone who was paying attention to the matter. As Shi Xiaobai's exposure was extremely low, he was extremely mysterious to everyone. This mystery made the shock even more intense. Instantly, there were sounds of discussion about Shi Xiaobai!
Perhaps to the entire China, this was a trivial matter that did not stir up too many waves.
However, to the public opinion circles that were paying attention to the organization's mass selection, the name 'Shi Xiaobai' was on fire!
.....
.....
Shi Xiaobai did not know that his real name, 'Shi Xiaobai', had been remembered by countless people and had begun paying attention to him. If he knew, he would definitely say, "This King hasn't even attacked seriously, but all of you are already kneeling?"
In fact, he was able to kill a hundred Darkness Nightmare Shapeshifters in such a short period of time. Firstly, it was because his luck was pretty good. He was directly teleported to the Darkness Nightmare Shapeshifters' lair. There were Darkness Nightmare Shapeshifters everywhere for him to kill. Secondly, it was because his Pig Slaughtering Knife was very effective against darkness-type creatures.
Therefore, this shocking matter was a trivial matter to Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai was transported to the second level's pocket world. After his consciousness turned blurry for a moment, his vision gradually became clear. The scene in front of him had indeed changed.
Shi Xiaobai realized that he was on a small platform that resembled an altar. Beneath the altar was a light purple hard ground. Four three-meter-tall brown walls formed a square. The square was about the size of ten football fields, making it look like a miniature city. In the middle of each wall was a gigantic square hole. It looked like four gigantic city gates without doors.
There were a few houses scattered in the miniature city. In the middle of the city, there was a lush green tree. The tree was not tall, but its trunk was extremely thick. Perhaps even ten people would not be able to wrap their arms around it. Hundreds of vines hung down, making it a spectacular sight. The lush branches and leaves made it look like it was brimming with life.
Just as Shi Xiaobai was about to carefully observe it, a sacred and authoritative voice suddenly resounded in his mind.
"Welcome to the second level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower — Guard City!"
"In 'Guard City', there are a total of thirty miniature cities. Trial-Takers will be randomly assigned to a particular city to carry out the mission of guarding the city!"
"The city you are currently in is City # 1. Due to your arrival, the mission of guarding City # 1 has officially begun. In three minutes, the first wave of demonic beasts will arrive."
"You need to protect the Tree of Life during the demonic beast horde. Killing demonic beasts will earn you Tower Defense Points. When your Tower Defense Points reach 500 or more, it will be considered as you clearing the level. You can then choose to head to the third level at any time."
"If the Tree of Life dies during the demonic beast horde, the city will be breached. You will be randomly sent to another city, but your Tower Defense Points will be reset to zero!"
"Every time a demonic beast horde arrives, the next demonic beast horde will immediately begin a countdown. Furthermore, the demonic beast horde will increase in strength with every wave. Please cherish the first few waves that are the weakest, so as to earn enough Tower Defense Points."
"There will be other trial-takers that will be sent to City # 1 in the future."
"Gentle Reminder: Make good use of the resources in the city. It will be beneficial for you to better defend the city!"
"The first wave of demonic beasts will arrive in three minutes. Countdown begins."
"Good luck!"
.....
As the sacred and authoritative voice receded, Shi Xiaobai could not help but reveal a smile.
This trial was very interesting!
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings on the altar's platform and had a guess.
The huge tree in the middle of the city was likely the Tree of Life. The four wide open city gates were probably the entrances to the demonic beast horde. In that case, it was best to have four people guarding the four entrances.
If it was one person guarding, he would definitely have to release the demonic beasts into the city. When that happened, even if he could kill the demonic beasts, it would be difficult to ensure the safety of the Tree of Life. However, the first wave of demonic beasts would arrive in three minutes. Shi Xiaobai guessed that he would have to guard the first wave alone.
As such, the speed at which he killed the demonic beasts, the number of demonic beasts, as well as the vitality of the Tree of Life were all crucial. Shi Xiaobai could not decide on the latter two, so he could only rely on the former.
How could he speed up the killing of the demonic beasts?
Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment before he suddenly recalled the gentle reminder the voice said at the end.
Make good use of the resources in the city?
In this desolate city, other than the Tree of Life and a few dilapidated low houses, there was nothing else.
Shi Xiaobai jumped down from the altar and walked to the nearest low house. Only then did he realize that there was a dust-covered sign hanging on the front door of the house.
Shi Xiaobai swept away the dust and the words written on the sign were — Points Treasury.
This name was rather strange.
Shi Xiaobai gently pushed the door and it immediately opened, revealing the scene inside. There was nothing in the house, and it was very clean and tidy. It was a stark contrast to the dilapidated exterior.
However, the four walls of the house were filled with dense text. It was dizzying just looking at it.
Shi Xiaobai randomly found a line and when he focused his eyes, he saw the line that said:
"Summon Hellfire: Summon a powerful Hellfire to help you defend the city. Requires 1000 Tower Defense Points!"
