After hanging up the call with Yao Lan, Lin Huang returned to his hotel room and logged into the Evil Alliance.
On the Stairway Tree, the Emperor's Heart's notification became a hot topic again. Most of them believed in the Emperor's Heart as he had never made a wrong judgment. Therefore, the topic changed from Lin Xie's cheating yesterday to how Lin Xie managed to obtain eight million points overnight.
Lin Huang did not pay attention to that. As soon as he returned to the Stairway Tree, he summoned the Mighty Ape and began a new round of climbing.
From the 31st checkpoint to the 40th checkpoint, the difficulty was much higher than before. The two waves of monster attacks were all immortal-level rank-5 bugs. It took Lin Huang 50 to 60 minutes to pass each checkpoint. On the 40th checkpoint, it took him one and a half hours to pass. It was past six in the evening when he arrived at the 41st checkpoint. Lin Huang did not continue. Instead, he logged out of the virtual world.
"It's getting more and more difficult. I can't use the Mighty Ape on the 36th checkpoint. Fortunately, I have Tyrant, so I can handle it for now …" As he logged out of the virtual world, Lin Huang did not look relaxed.
He had seen too many extreme environments on the Stairway Tree for the past few days. Each checkpoint was a difficult experience. Some of them were as difficult as the special training that Mr. Fu had arranged for him.
"From the 31st to the 39th checkpoint, only immortal-level rank-6 can pass it. As for the 40th checkpoint, only immortal-level rank-7 can pass it. According to the increase in difficulty, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to pass the 50th checkpoint … "Lin Huang knew his own situation very well. Although his overall ability was good, his physique was much weaker than an immortal-level rank-7 or rank-7. The Stairway Tree did not only test one's overall ability but also other aspects.
The reason why so many powerhouses were stuck on the 63rd checkpoint was that Life Power was prohibited. It was purely a test of one's body, so there was no way one could take advantage of it. Of course, that was what Lin Huang heard from Zhao San. He did not ask about the details of the checkpoints. However, he knew that if his Life Power was restricted, he would definitely not be able to pass this level.
After dinner, Lin Huang did not let himself be idle. Instead, he began to cultivate the Combatant Formula and did not go to bed until eleven o 'clock at night.
The next morning, he logged into the Evil Alliance again and continued to climb the Stairway Tree.
From the 41st floor onwards, the difficulty of clearing the floors skyrocketed. Just the 41st floor alone took Lin Huang an hour and fifty minutes to clear. From the 42nd floor to the 44th floor, he spent around two hours, and the 45th floor took him two and a half hours before he barely passed.
The 46th floor was the floor with branches. It was also the third human gathering point after the 21st and 34th floors.
After passing the 45th level, Lin Huang did not continue. He originally planned to go to the 46th level and find a place to log in. However, Yao Lan sent him a message saying that Huangfu Lin had arrived at Sweep City. He looked for a crack in the bark and logged out.
After the Emperor's Heart had issued an announcement regarding Lin Huang's matter, everyone's attention on Lin Huang had decreased a lot over the past two days. However, there were still many people checking Lin Huang's status every day.
Soon, most of the people at the gathering point on the 46th floor knew that Lin Huang was staying on the 46th floor.
Many of them were eager to challenge Lin Huang. One must know that he was very popular at the moment. As long as they killed him, they would be able to obtain more than four million points in one go.
Many of them had the same thought on the 33rd floor. However, Lin Huang did not stay on the 33rd floor at all and went straight to the 41st floor. Now, he was on the 46th floor. To most of the people on the 46th floor, it was a great opportunity to rob him.
After logging out of the virtual world, Lin Huang had no idea that he was being watched by many people on the Stairway Tree. After changing his clothes, he arrived at the Sweep City Restaurant before the appointed time.
After sitting in room 301 for about three to four minutes, Yao Lan, Huangfu Hao, and a tall lady in a white shirt and black pants walked into the room.
The woman had long black hair that reached her waist. She was very beautiful, but the expression on her face was somewhat cold. Although she did not reveal her aura, Lin Huang could vaguely sense a threat from her.
Lin Huang knew that she should be the chief of the Sweep Alliance, Huangfu Lin.
While Lin Huang was checking her out, she was checking Lin Huang out too.
"Sister Lin, this is Lin Xie." Yao Lan, who was standing aside, introduced while smiling, "Lin Xie, this beauty next to me is our current chief, Huangfu Lin."
"Hello." Lin Huang got up and shook hands with Huangfu Lin.
The two of them greeted each other and took their seats.
Yao Lan was still the one who ordered the dishes. Huangfu Hao seemed to be restrained in front of his sister, so he kept quiet.
Since Lin Huang was not close to Huangfu Lin, he chose to keep quiet as well.
Huangfu Lin, on the other hand, spoke to Lin Huang, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you two days ago, but you didn't pick up my call request."
"Two days ago?" Lin Huang was stunned to hear that, but he recalled immediately. "You're that number I don't know? I thought someone dialed the wrong number, so I didn't pay much attention to it. "
"It's okay. It's better to talk to each other face to face." Huangfu Lin nodded and changed the topic. "I heard from Xiao Lan that you didn't ask for the strategy of the Stairway Tree?"
"Yes." Lin Huang nodded. "I think it's more interesting to figure out a way to get through the checkpoints myself."
"So, you're on the 46th checkpoint now, but you didn't know anything about the checkpoints?" Huangfu Lin asked again.
"I heard about the checkpoints when I was on the 21st checkpoint, but I didn't know the details. I didn't ask around," Lin Huang admitted.
"Why did you do that? Wouldn't it be easier if you knew about the checkpoints and the strategy? "Huangfu Lin raised an eyebrow.
"To me, getting through the Stairway Tree is a process of cultivation. The more we cultivate, the further we can go. It's just a matter of time. There's no need for us to get through the checkpoints and force ourselves to reach a level that's beyond our abilities, "Lin Huang explained.
Huangfu Lin, Huangfu Hao, and Yao Lan fell into silence after hearing what Lin Huang said.
"Now, I completely believe that you didn't cheat." Huangfu Lin took a good look at Lin Huang and said again, "That's because someone who said that would never cheat for the sake of points."
"Thank you." Lin Huang did not thank her for her compliment, but for her understanding.
"What do you think of the Sweep Alliance?" Huangfu Lin's question caught Yao Lan and Huangfu Hao's attention. They looked at Lin Huang.
"It's alright." Lin Huang had nothing to comment on. After all, he had only joined the Sweep Alliance for a few days. Apart from Yao Lan and Huangfu Hao, he had never met anyone else.
"I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. The Sweep Alliance doesn't suit you." Huangfu Hao and Yao Lan were stunned to hear what Huangfu Lin said. Lin Huang raised an eyebrow.
"Sister Lin, you …"
Huangfu Lin interrupted Yao Lan, "The Sweep Alliance is just a small pond in the world of the Evil Alliance. However, you're not a small pond. You just haven't grown up yet. You can only grow up in the Heaven Alliance, the Hong Alliance, and the Tang Alliance. "
"Your combat level isn't high now, so the Sweep Alliance can provide you with some help. However, as your combat level increases, the Sweep Alliance will only become a burden to you. I don't want to see you give up on the Sweep Alliance and make everyone sad. Since you've only joined for a few days and you're not familiar with everyone yet, I hope that you can leave the Sweep Alliance. I can help you contact the Overlord Alliance, which is ranked first in Division 3. I believe they'll accept you. "
Lin Huang stared at Huangfu Lin in silence for a while. He could roughly understand what she was thinking from her eyes that were filled with unwillingness. Perhaps, she was talking about herself … She should have had a bright future, but she was held back by the limited resources of the Sweep Alliance. She did not want to see herself make the same mistake.
"Since you're so honest, I'll accept your suggestion and leave the Sweep Alliance." Lin Huang nodded his head eventually. "However, you don't have to do me a favor. I have other places to go."
For the rest of the meal, everyone ate in silence.
After dinner, Lin Huang returned the token to the Sweep Alliance and pressed the button to leave the Evil Alliance's page. He then left casually.
The other three stayed in the private room and did not leave.
"Let's go." Huangfu Hao said to Yao Lan. He seemed to be angry with Huangfu Lin and did not want to talk to her at all.
"You can leave first. I have something to talk to Sister Lin about."
"What's there to talk about? It took us so much effort to recruit a talent, but she chased him away." Huangfu Hao could not help but say what he wanted to say.
"You can leave first. I have something to talk to Sister Lin about."
After sending Huangfu Hao off, Yao Lan sat opposite Huangfu Lin again.
"Sister Lin, do you regret joining the Sweep Alliance?"
Huangfu Lin kept quiet and did not answer the question.
"Thank you. I know the answer now." Yao Lan knew that her silence was the answer. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault …"
