Half a day later, Yang Rui arrived at Luoyang Royal City on his flying pet. However, it took him quite some effort just to enter the city.
Luoyang Royal City was currently in a half-sealed state. Perhaps Cao Cao had been frightened by the sudden appearance of Yang Rui's troops. Now, entering and exiting Luoyang Royal City required proof of identity. It was very strict.
If not for the many public buildings in Luoyang Royal City, Cao Cao would have probably sealed off the city.
If only the entrance and exit were strictly controlled, Yang Rui could fly directly into the city with his flying pet. However, Luoyang Royal City was protected by a formation. The entire city was enveloped by a layer of invisible air. Let alone a flying pet, even a forceful attack would take a lot of effort.
From this point, it could be seen that Cao Cao's forces had a deep foundation. If Liu Bei's forces could set up such a formation, they would no longer have to fear Yang Rui's aerial bombs. Moreover, Yang Rui had never seen such an anti-air formation in the game.
In the end, Yang Rui could only use the Shapeshifting Mask to knock out a hooligan. Only then was he able to sneak into Luoyang Royal City.
When Yang Rui made his move on this passerby, the hoodlum was in the middle of molesting an NPC woman. For some reason, the system didn't recognize the hoodlum as an enemy faction NPC. However, it was precisely because of this that Yang Rui didn't feel guilty about making a move on him.
"System Notice: Respected player Blazing Sun, due to your identity as a Civilization Envoy, the remaining three tower raid opportunities from the past two game years have been reserved. Do you wish to use the accumulated tower raid opportunities? Please make your choice! "
The process of entering the Tower of Civilization was needless to say. It was worth mentioning that Yang Rui had obtained the Civilization Envoy Certificate during his first attempt at the Tower of Civilization. The system had reserved the one tower raid opportunity that should have expired.
This was equivalent to Yang Rui having one more tower raid opportunity. It also provided him with the opportunity to obtain more soul-type items.
After Yang Rui entered the Tower of Civilization, he first opened the Tower Raid Leaderboard for the entire region.
[Tower of Civilization Clearance Leaderboard:
1st Blazing Sun – Three Kingdoms Area – 114th Floor
2. Aliyah - Egyptian Civilization - Floor 82
3rd. Peter - Slavic Civilization Area - Floor 74
4th. Tomsko – US Civilization Area – 74th Floor
Fifth Floor, Gurgaon. Hindustani Civilization.
6th Floor Pitt – Mexican Civilization – 69th Floor
Dragon Soul – Three Kingdoms Area – Floor 69
Iron Blood Sword – Three Kingdoms Civilization Area – Floor 69
9th Vic – Greek Civilization Area – Floor 69
10th. Ichiro Sato – Japanese Civilization Area – Floor 69
…
Note: The number of floors shown on the leaderboard is based on the last floor completed by the player. Floors that were not completed are not included. "
Previously, Yang Rui had charged all the way to the 115th floor of the Tower of Civilization in the Three Kingdoms Area. Based on the number of floors completed, he had reached the 114th floor. This was the record for the entire region. Even now, it seemed that no one had ever broken it.
From the list, it could be seen that the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization was a watershed. No matter which civilization it was, very few people could reach the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization. Most people were stuck at the 69th floor of the Tower of Civilization.
In reality, the NPCs on the 60th to 70th floors of the Tower of Civilization were only Tier 6 soldiers. However, the 70th floor's Advanced Cities were the most difficult. It was extremely difficult to challenge an Advanced City alone.
The Basic Cities and Intermediate Cities before the Tower of Civilization were relatively easy to pass. There were even NPCs that provided secret passageways. However, the 70th floor's Advanced Cities tested players' true combat power.
At this time, most of the names and civilizations on the tower ranking list were familiar to Yang Rui. Some people may have invested more energy or used some special items, so it was normal for them to be able to rush up a few more floors.
However, the second place on the leaderboard was occupied by an unfamiliar name. It was Alia from the Egyptian civilization region. She had actually reached the 80th floor's Special Rank City and completed the 82nd floor's Tower of Civilization!
In reality, Yang Rui only had a shallow impression of her. Alia from the Egyptian civilization region had been very eye-catching when she had first challenged the Tower of Civilization. Meanwhile, this player was very mysterious. Before she had challenged the Tower of Civilization, she had never revealed her name.
What caught Yang Rui's attention wasn't just the player's identity. It was also the player's position in the tower. Logically speaking, if this player could break through the 80th floor of the Tower of Civilization, which was guarded by Sixth Grade soldiers and Sixth Grade special soldiers, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the tenth floor after the 80th floor.
Between the 81st and 90th floors of the Tower of Civilization, there were only NPCs at the Basic General level. Moreover, there were not many of them. When Yang Rui reached the 10th floor, he had a much easier time than the first 10 floors.
Even if she could not reach the 90th floor, under normal circumstances, this player from the Egyptian civilization region called Alia should have no problem reaching the 84th floor.
With a trace of doubt in his mind, Yang Rui did not waste any time after entering the Tower of Civilization. He began to climb the Tower of Civilization as fast as he could, killing his way up.
There was no need to say much about the first 70 floors. Yang Rui had not spent much effort to reach the Tower of Civilization the last time. This time, it was even smoother.
Moreover, Yang Rui did not try to obtain all the Civilization Imprints this time. He only confirmed that the Civilization Imprints could no longer be combined into a booklet on the first floor. After that, Yang Rui only obtained enough Civilization Imprints to reach the next floor.
At the same time, Yang Rui's strength had increased by a lot. When he entered the Tower of Civilization, he was only a Level 3 Historical General, and his Martial Points were only 89.
At this moment, Yang Rui was already a Level 2 Historical General. After removing all his equipment, his raw Force Points had reached 91, breaking through the threshold of 90 Force Points.
In addition, Yang Rui was wearing the Golden Emperor Set and other soul-type equipment that was at least Violet-Gold rank. Yang Rui's overall attributes had increased by a large margin. He was no longer the same as when Yang Rui first entered the Tower of Civilization.
Yang Rui had spent less than a game day to reach the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization. On average, he only spent a little more than 20 minutes on each floor.
It was important to note that the 70th floor included a Basic City guarded by Fifth Grade soldiers and an Intermediate City guarded by Sixth Grade soldiers. These two levels were the most time-consuming.
If the Tower of Civilization's leaderboard had a ranking based on speed, Yang Rui would definitely be on the leaderboard. He might even be far ahead.
The reason why Yang Rui was in such a hurry was that there were no more rewards in the previous levels due to the increase in the number of levels refreshed. Or rather, the rewards given were already very low.
Of course, when Yang Rui reached the 70th floor, he still brought along the 30 village warriors from the Tower of Civilization. He had been farming their levels and grades. By the time Yang Rui exited the Tower of Civilization, he would have no problem upgrading them to Seventh or Eighth Grade soldiers.
At the same time, Yang Rui was still on the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization. He used the dropped parts to assemble five small trebuchets, four small siege carts, and five small scaling ladders. They might be useful when attacking the next level and city.
Another four hours later, Yang Rui had cleared the 79th floor of the Tower of Civilization and arrived before the 80th floor's Special City.
The 80th floor's Special City was guarded by Sixth Grade special soldiers. There were both ranged and melee soldiers. The level of the city was also very high. Naturally, the difficulty of attacking it was very high.
When Yang Rui cleared this floor previously, he remembered that he had used the Violet-Gold equipment Corolla Bamboo Hat – Soul's Upper Body Absolute Defense. He had also used the Chaotic Flower Blindfold to force his way through.
However, this time, Yang Rui relied on the increase in his strength and defense to save the usage of the Forced Summoning Token – Soul and the Faction Conversion Token – Soul for the 70th floor.
The Special City guarded by Sixth Grade soldiers was not a good place to attack. Yang Rui used the Forced Summoning Token – Soul.
Using this token, the user could randomly select 100 soldiers from any faction to use. Yang Rui instantly controlled a soldier near the city gate and rushed into the city.
After the most difficult step, there was no need to talk about the rest. The next step was to clean up. It didn't take long for Yang Rui to clear the level. Not even a Special City could stop Yang Rui.
It needed to be mentioned that the city and other buildings in the Tower of Civilization could be regarded as a miniature version of the normal game interface. It had the same functions as a city of the same level, but the scale and number of guards were far different.
In the end, it all depended on whether the player's strength could break through the city. After all, the player could only enter the tower alone. If there were too many guards, how could the player pass?
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for successfully breaking through the 80th floor of the Tower of Civilization in the Three Kingdoms Region. Player has received 1,000 Reputation, 1,000 Gold Coins, and the right to draw eight Silver items."
After clearing the 80th floor of the Tower of Civilization, Yang Rui received a system notification. Among the rewards, there were finally Silver-rank and above Soul-type items. Moreover, there were eight of them. This was the purpose of Yang Rui's trip.
However, the level of the rewards this time was much lower. When Yang Rui cleared the 80th floor of the Tower of Civilization, he was rewarded with three Violet-Gold Soul-type items. This time, however, it was only Silver-rank.
This was the third time the 80th floor of the Tower of Civilization had been cleared. Yang Rui and the Egyptian player had both cleared it once, so it was normal for the level of the rewards to be lower.
Next, the NPCs on the 81st to 90th floors of the Tower of Civilization were Basic Generals. As there were fewer of them, and whether it was the checkpoint or the city, the defenders would still take the initiative to attack, so Yang Rui had a much easier time clearing the levels.
In less than four hours, Yang Rui had broken through the 90th floor of the Tower of Civilization.
This time, the system rewarded him with nine Soul-type Gold-rank items. Since the Egyptian player was stuck on the 82nd floor, and Yang Rui was the only player in the entire region who had cleared the tower twice, the reward only dropped by one floor.
All nine Soul-type Gold-rank items had decent attributes, but there were no top-grade items. Instead, they were mostly miscellaneous items that were suitable for ordinary people to use in order to get through the threat of the Origin Force.
Compared to the previous time, Yang Rui's strength had increased, and his consumption of Origin Force had been greatly reduced. Although his speed of clearing the floors was fast, he paid attention to his recovery during each floor to ensure that he could continue to fight.
Therefore, after Yang Rui broke through the 90th floor, he did not stop for long and entered the 91st floor of the Tower of Civilization to continue.
The 91st to 100th floors were filled with Seventh Grade common soldiers and Seventh Grade special forces. The other floors weren't difficult for Yang Rui, but the 95th floor was a special level checkpoint, and the 100th floor was a special level city. It was very difficult for him to clear it.
Yang Rui followed his previous experience and used the same trick on the 95th floor. He activated the additional attribute of the Python Leather Combat Boots, Soul [Python Movement], and lured the enemy to use up all the oil, rolling stones, and black wood on the checkpoint. After that, he took down the checkpoint with brute force.
On the 100th floor, Yang Rui directly used the Faction Change Token, Soul, and used its 1,000m * 1,000m * 1,000m area of effect to quickly control 500 soldiers near a city gate. He then quickly killed his way into the city and secured victory in one fell swoop.
The 100th floor was an important node. Previously, Yang Rui had obtained the identity of a Civilization Envoy here. Although there were no additional rewards this time, Yang Rui still obtained 10 Soul-type Gold-rank items.
After breaking through the 100th floor, Yang Rui did not stop in the Repair Space and directly entered the lower floor.
Because the 500 or so soldiers that Yang Rui captured could last for 6 hours, and they were all Tier 7 special troops. Moreover, most of them were ranged soldiers. Naturally, Yang Rui wanted to make use of them.
Tier 7 special troops were comparable to Tier 8 normal soldiers, and almost comparable to intermediate generals. In addition, they also had combination skills that ordinary generals did not have. They were already very useful.
Therefore, a scene like this appeared on the 101st floor to the 110th floor of the Tower of Civilization. Yang Rui walked as if he was taking a stroll. In front of him, 500 Tier 7 special troops were fighting to the death for him. Behind him, 30 village warriors followed along.
Yang Rui would only occasionally help when necessary. In fact, he did not really care about the lives of these soldiers. After all, they only existed for 6 hours.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui spent most of the time watching from the sidelines. Even so, in just a little over an hour, Yang Rui had already cleared the 110th floor. The 500 soldiers played a significant role in this.
Moreover, they were not done yet. Yang Rui did not even take a close look at the 11 Violet-Gold soul equipment that he had obtained this time. He immediately led them to the next floor.
It was important to note that any Violet-Gold soul item in the hands of other players would be a treasure among treasures.
After the 111th floor, there were only Tier 8 soldiers. However, the Tier 7 special troops that Yang Rui brought were not bad either. Moreover, they had a numerical advantage. Thus, it was a one-sided situation.
In this manner, they pushed all the way to the 115th floor of the Tower of Civilization, catching up to Yang Rui's previous record.
On this floor, Yang Rui directly activated the additional attribute of the Golden Roc's inner armor, [Golden Roc's Evasion]. Together with the soldiers who were exerting their last bit of energy, they quickly exhausted the defensive measures at the center of the checkpoint. It took them an hour to level the entire floor.
Yang Rui had left a new record on the Tower of Civilization leaderboard after breaking through the 115th floor.
