All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 371: Unrestricted Access
"How come monsters from low-level dungeons appear here?"

Seeing a small monster that did not belong to the current copy world appear in front of him, the thin white wizard William immediately looked puzzled.

The strong female warrior next to him was even more furious. She suddenly leaped over and launched a ruthless attack with the double axes in her hands. All the green-skinned monsters were killed within half a second and turned into light and disappeared without a trace.

"These monsters are very weak. We should have other opponents."

The female warrior then commented that as a high-level player who had played countless dungeons, she was very familiar with the various routines of the dungeon. Modes such as fighting in the arena and climbing towers often appeared in the dungeon, and the current situation seemed to belong to at least one of them.

"I think so too...but if that's the case, we can't stay here for long. It's not a good thing to waste our energy."

The white wizard frowned as he spoke, because the dungeon mechanism in this place that seemed familiar to him was obviously missing a link, that is the reward part. They would not indulge in a tower climbing game without rewards. After all, no one wants to do something that wastes energy.

While the two were talking, a staircase leading upwards appeared out of nowhere outside the arena where they were. It seemed to connect to the upper level of the tower, but the view of the upper level was blocked by the staircase itself, arousing the curiosity of observers.

"William, do you want to continue climbing the tower?"

When the female warrior saw this expected thing happening, she did not attack bravely like she did at the beginning, but chose to ask her companions for their opinions. The reason was that she was not willing to climb the tower without any benefit.

"Let's try to get out first, otherwise this place is most likely a trap."

The thin white wizard still had a frown on his face. He didn't even look at the newly appeared stairs. He turned around and walked back the way he came, which was the other direction outside the arena. There was a short passage there, and they could see the brass door they came in through.

Now this door is tightly closed, which may indicate some bad situation.

Little did they know that when the two players turned around and walked towards the black tower gate, Wang Zhifan, who was on the top floor of the tower, was also watching them. The lack of cooperation from these two people made him feel a little emotional.

"Hey guys, you want to leave right after you get here? Are you expecting me to set up a system where you can get equipment when you kill monsters? Learn from the gunner player who came in first. He stayed inside to rest after killing three floors. Although he was a little lazy, at least he knew how to act!"

What made him unhappy was that these two foreign players did not respect his tower at all. They came in and killed a few small monsters on the bottom level in seconds and then stopped working, which delayed his hope of obtaining data from them.

These data actually have two aspects. They include not only their tests on the monsters set up in the tower, but also the combat effectiveness they each demonstrate. Because after Wang Zhifan has collected enough relevant data in the tower, he can also use these players as a model to create monsters or bosses with similar abilities to them, thus enriching the content of his tower.

So he now has two choices. One is to forcibly detain the two players and then throw them directly into the monster pile to work hard for him. The other is to really release them and leave without bothering with them.

"I don't think I'm a very stingy person... I'll give you one chance... No, it might be better to just open the entrance. The flow of people will definitely attract more people to come and work..."

Wang Zhifan suddenly understood the key to this problem. He found that he had previously neglected the consideration of human nature. That is, forcing a person to do something is likely to backfire, but if he is given a certain degree of freedom, he can often give play to his subjective initiative. This is actually a very simple truth, not some profound knowledge.

So, when the two foreign players at the bottom of the black tower approached the brass door, a scene that surprised them appeared. That is, this door seemed to have an automatic sensing device. After they approached, it slowly opened automatically and allowed them to pass.

"I can actually leave! It turns out I was wrong about this place!"

The thin white wizard, holding a staff in his hand, walked through the brass door with his female warrior companion and came to the outside of the black tower. He looked at the desert shadows gathered around the black tower and did not dare to approach. He realized that this strange desert building did not have the malicious intent he expected, and they were free to enter and exit.

"I understand now. This tower is a special shelter in this instance. Although we players need to fight monsters after entering, there will be no other dangers. This is like a shortcut left by the instance!"

The mage player then suddenly had an idea and said to his female warrior companion, his eyes revealing undisguised excitement.

"Shortcut? William, do you mean we can hide in here to get through this instance? Is that really feasible? Don't forget that Xia countryman just went in as well."

The strong white female warrior became a little hesitant after hearing this, because she was not as sure as William that this place was safe enough. One of the big problems was the presence of the hostile players before, which meant that they must have other dangers in the tower.

But the white wizard William was not worried at all. He just replied confidently:
"Don't worry, Nova. Based on my understanding of the dungeon, in a tower climb like this, the climbers are all independent of each other. One of the key pieces of evidence is that we just went in and didn't find any traces left by the Xia player, which means we probably won't be able to meet him in the tower.

Of course, even if we encounter him, the only one we should really worry about is him. With the strength of the two of us, we are definitely at an advantage in dealing with him. At the same time, the environment of the high tower is not very open, which is not conducive to the performance of the gunner profession..."

His argument quickly made the female warrior understand that what she was worried about was not a big problem, but rather an opportunity. For example, if they encountered the gunman in a small space on a certain floor, they could work together to kill him and seize his equipment to gain extra benefits.

This is definitely not a fantasy. Before, they didn't want to fight to the end in Daji Town because there were indigenous forces and more than one hostile player. The situation was too complicated and the risk was too great. But it was completely different in this black tower. The space was definitely narrower than the outside world, and there was no need to worry about the indigenous people making trouble. The advantage of two against one was huge.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the Xia assassin has also entered the tower. If he is there, our advantage will not be obvious. But even in this bad situation, I am confident that I can protect myself. You don't have to worry about me and just give it your all."

The mage player mentioned a concern in his heart. While speaking, he glanced at the outside of the black tower and the brass door of the black tower. Then he turned and walked towards the brass door and made the final decision. "It seems that this is the only option that is most suitable... Let's go in and hide for a while."

The female warrior also took a look at the dire situation outside and realized that without the protection of her companion, she would probably be stuck in the desert forever, so she followed without hesitation.

In this way, the two people who had just walked out of the brass door passed through it again and returned to the tower, which made Wang Zhifan, who was observing this place on the top floor, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Haha... As expected, I gave you the freedom to leave, but you don't want to leave... Then just work for me honestly. Although there is no reward at all, there will definitely be no problem with safety."

As he sighed, he used his authority as the master of the Black Tower to check the current settings again, confirming that these players would not get any rewards no matter how many levels they reached, and that the monsters assigned to them would not be too powerful, to prevent the testers who had finally appeared from being unable to bear it and running away.

In fact, even if these people all ran away later, he would not face the risk of losing money, because the data they left behind is definitely valuable. From the perspective that he provided these people with temporary shelter, this was a mutually beneficial transaction and no one lost out.

"It seems that I don't need to spend too much time on these players' affairs. Let them do whatever they want. The most important thing is for me to quickly practice the Wind and Thunder Stepping Heaven Art to Lv3."

At this time, Wang Zhifan no longer paid special attention to the players in the tower, mainly because this was his absolute territory and he had supreme authority. In addition, the Black Tower itself was of extremely high grade, so he didn't have to worry about anyone threatening him.

To put it more bluntly, without his permission, these tower climbers would never be able to see him, and it would be difficult for them to know that the black tower they were climbing belonged to another player. They would only tend to think that it was some special building in the dungeon.

At the same time, on the third floor of the Black Tower, a player from Xia Country was sitting on the trunk of a big tree, chewing something in his mouth. Not far from him, a staircase leading to a higher level had already appeared, but he had no intention of climbing it immediately.

"The King Kong gorilla that appeared just now is much stronger than the monsters on the first floor. Although I still killed it in one shot, it was a bit too much to not give it any rewards. It didn't even leave the gorilla's corpse for me to use as food... On the contrary, this tree has some tricks. The leaves taste a bit juicy and are no different from real plants. Maybe there will be a clean water source on the upper level. In that case, my strategy of surviving can continue... The Hearse of the Underworld really found a safe and good place for me..."

Unlike the other two foreign players, this person found the tower through high-level items that he valued very much, so he naturally trusted this place more. After he personally explored several floors, he became more and more convinced of this.

The reason is that he found that although the levels he had gone through did not bring any rewards, they could be utilized as part of the environment, which was equivalent to a hidden benefit. At the same time, after practice, he also found that even if he did not continue to climb up, it would not trigger mechanisms such as forced opening of levels. In other words, he speculated that he could stay in a certain level for a long time without having to keep climbing up.

All these factors combined, compared with the dark shadow monsters everywhere outside the black tower, and the indigenous forces searching for him with all their might in the distance, made him understand more clearly why the underworld hearse brought him here, and he believed that this strange place was the most suitable hiding place for him.

He was so satisfied with the current situation that he began to consider contacting his companion, the assassin player from Xia Country, and wanted to call him over.

But when he took out the special walkie-talkie produced from the technology copy, he found that it showed that no signal could be found, which made him feel a little surprised.

"The description of my rare walkie-talkie says that it can contact targets within ten thousand miles. Could it be that Qiangzi is more than ten thousand miles away from me now? According to the route of the underworld hearse before, he is definitely not that far! Then it must be this black tower that blocks the transmission of the signal. I will contact him when I go out during the day."

He had already decided in his mind to inform his companions about what happened here after one night. Anyway, they might not come even if he told them in advance, and it would be too dangerous to rush over at night.

Not to mention that based on his understanding of his companion, as a top assassin player, he is likely to be able to hide from the search of the indigenous forces. After all, that guy's stealth skill has not only been maxed out long ago, but it is said that he has also completed some special awakening task. His hiding ability is far beyond that of ordinary assassin players.

After thinking all this over, he leaned against the tree trunk and took a nap. He released several micro-machines around him to provide warning and avoid unexpected situations. He planned to try to rest in this place for one night.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, the teammate he was thinking about was still running for his life at full speed. The superb stealth ability did not allow this player to escape tracking. Instead, he could not bear the tremendous pressure and chose to plunge into the terrible desert.

"Report! The target has entered the Shadow Desert!"

As soon as the Xia assassin rushed into the dark desert where monsters were rampant, a dozen combat mechas with flames spewing from their backs arrived here. A special mecha master among them reported to his superiors through the communication module of the mecha.

This mecha pilot is special because he is a strange guy with a short stature like a child, but a head that is almost twice the size of an adult's. The mecha he uses is also very different from others. It is a special model customized just for him.

"Big Head, you lead your men to continue tracking the target. We must not let him escape our sight. I will personally lead a team to support you later."

A response came quickly over the communication line, and it sounded like a young man's voice.

"As ordered!"

The mecha master with a huge head immediately responded after hearing this, and then he led the other combat mechas around him without hesitation and rushed into the Black Shadow Desert, heading straight in a certain direction.

"Attention! That guy is starting to speed up! Follow me closely!"

In fact, in the eyes of other mecha masters at the moment, they cannot find any trace of the target in the desert. Only this mecha master nicknamed Big Head can firmly lock the target player who has been maintaining a high-level stealth state.

Because he is not only a mecha master, but also a psychic, an A-level psychic who specializes in the field of perception and exploration!
