Chapter 103


    The ck tower’s version 3.0 update was over and peace was restored.


    Tang Mo didn’t move from where he was hiding in the clothing store. He waited for three minutes and saw a thin figure quicklying out of the mall across the street. The man rushed into the nearbymercial street and quickly disappeared. They waited another five minutes before Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo went out the back door of the clothing store.


    In the dark night, the two of them was as fast as the wind. They moved under the shadow of the trees while the leaves rustled. It was impossible to see their movements. Only the leaves that moved in the wind suggested that two people had run underneath the trees.


    The two of them returned to the parking lot and found Fu Wensheng.


    Fu Wensheng saw that it was Tang Mo and put down his tightly held weapons. He hurriedly asked, “What happened?”


    Tang Mo’s expression wasplicated. It wasn’t ugly but it definitely wasn’t good. Fu Wensheng quickly looked at his brother. Fu Wenduo got into the driver’s seat and drove into a private parking garage. He got off and pulled down the roller shutter doors. The three people quietly hid in this abandoned private garage.


    The dark underground parking lot was filled with silence.


    Tang Mo took the shlight from his backpack and held it upwards with two bricks. The white light shone towards the ceiling, illuminating this small garage. He took a stone and knocked down a can of gasoline on the garage floor. The dark gasoline quickly flowed all over the ground. Tang Mo dipped the stone in the gasoline and drew something on the ground.


    “There are three main dots. The first dot shed quickly and nearly reached 10,000 times. You and I were distracted when it started shing...” Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo before drawing a small circle on the ground, writing 9,927 next to it. He said, “This is a rough estimate but it probably shed 10,000 times.”


    Fu Wenduo stated, “The second dot shed 364 times.”


    Tang Mo nodded and drew a small circle below the first one, writing 364 next to it.


    The two people didn’t say a word as they carefully stared at the two small circles. Fu Wensheng didn’t understand what they were saying but he didn’t interrupt. After half a minute, Tang Mo picked up the stone and drew a third circle. The stone made a loud noise as it moved against the ground. Tang Mo drew this circle with dashed lines and then wrote a ‘2’.


    “This light was far weaker than before and it shed twice.”


    Fu Wenduo looked at the number and asked, “When the 2.0 versionunched three months ago, were there these dots?”


    “There were.” Tang Mo drew two small circles to the left side of the three circles he had just drawn. “This light dot was first and it shed 62 times. This is urate information. I stared at it the whole time and there were no omissions. Then there is the second dot of light. The ck tower’s 2.0 version only has two dots of light. The first dot is simr to the first two we saw today and was rtively solid. The solid dot was darker. Altogether...”


    Tang Mo moved the stone and wrote a number on the ground. “It only shed once.”


    The ck tower updated two times over a period of three months. Every time, the ck tower would have white spots sh before it officially announced the version update. The white light dots were divided into solid ones and hollow ones. The 2.0 version had two dots and 3.0 had one more solid dot. In addition...


    Tang Mo spoke calmly, ” The number of shes has increased by many times.”


    Fu Wenduo said, “62 times became more than 9,000 times and the second point became solid, shing 364 times. Three months ago... what did you and Luo Fengcheng think?”


    Tang Mo wasn’t surprised that Fu Wenduo guessed he was with Luo Fengcheng and discussed the white lights together. It was because a few days after the ck tower 2.0 version updated, Fu Wenduo found the Attack organization. It wasn’t surprising that Fu Wneduo guessed this. ording to Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng’s nature, they wouldn’t let go of these white dots that were obviously valuable.


    Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo and answered, “The spection of Luo Fengcheng and I at the time... these white dots represent the floors of the ck tower.”


    Fu Wenduo didn’t look surprised. Fu Wensheng had been listening to them for a long time and only now understood.


    Tang Mo exined, “The ck tower has a total of seven floors. At present, no one in the world has passed the third floor. In other words, the yers have only cleared the second floor.” Tang Mo drew arge circle on the outside of the three solid circles. He said, “The first dot represents the first floor of the ck tower and the second dot represents the second floor. On November 22nd, Fu Wenduo, you were the first person in the world to clear the ck tower. Since then, yers in the other nine regions around the world cleared the ck tower. Thetest region to clear the first floor of the ck tower was on December 18th. That’s why it isn’t impossible for 62 yers to clear the first floor worldwide on January 1st when the ck tower’s version 2.0 updated. The most important thing is what the hollow dot that represents the second floor stands for.”


    Fu Wensheng guessed, “Doesn’t it represent the ck tower’s second floor?” Then he quickly denied it. “But no one cleared the ck tower’s second floor at the time. In the world’s 10 regions, the first yer to clear the new tower attack floor will be announced globally.”


    “At that time, no one had cleared the ck tower’s second floor. A few dayster, your brother cleared it.”


    Fu Wensheng expressed doubts. “What does this second light dot mean? It shed once.”


    Tang Mo stated, “This is just something that Luo Fengcheng and I spected. The light dots represented the ck tower floors. The second light dot only shed halfway and the light was darker. This probably means... someone attacked the ck tower’s second floor but failed. Therefore, his light didn’t turn on. For example...” Tang Mo paused and looked at Fu Wenduo. “I remember that at the end of November, Major Fu was pulled into the second floor of the ck tower but failed.”


    Fu Wenduo’s lips slightly curved.


    That was three months ago. At that time, Tang Mo suddenly heard Fu Wenduo’s voce and opened the turkey egg to help Fu Wenduo with the ck tower’s second floor. It was a pity that Fu Wenduo failed to clear the instance. He loaded the file bymitting suicide and then found a way to leave the second floor.


    ording to the information obtained by the three dots, the light dots represented the ck tower floors and the number of shes represented the people who cleared the floor. Everything was very reasonable.


    Tang Mo looked at the small circles on the ground and his voice was calm. “Now there were more than 364 yers in the world who have cleared the ck tower’s second floor. In addition, two yers have tried the ck tower’s third floor but failed. They might’ve died in the game or narrowly escaped. These two people aren’t me or Fu Wenduo.”


    Fu Wensheng heard this and wondered, “Will they be Chinese?”


    Fu Wenduo was the first yer to clear the first and second floor. It was enough to objectively say he was the strongest yer in China but he hadn’t tried to clear the ck tower’s third floor. This didn’t mean there were no other Chinese yers who hadn’t tried it.


    Tang Mo said, “As far as I know, Shanghai doesn’t have such yers. Generally speaking, most cities in China should be the same as the one we are in now. The poption isn’tparable to Beijing and Shanghai and they don’t have the resources of a big city. The level of the yers is more ordinary.” For example, this version 3.0 update only had one yer in Handan go to the ck tower to check the situation.


    Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo. “If the two yers who tried to clear the ck tower’s third floor are from China then they are most likely from Beijing. Major Fu, did you say that Beijing has a very powerful stowaways organization led by a strong stowaway?”


    “The organization is called Tian Xuan.” Fu Wenduo picked up a stone and drew a map of Beijing on the ground. “Their base is in the Chaoyang District. When I left Beijing four months ago, their leader had already cleared the ck tower’s first floor. Now four months have passed. There is a chance he has challenged the ck tower’s third floor.”


    Tang Mo asked, “What is his specific ability?”


    Fu Wenduo recalled, “I don’t know the specific power but he can change the weight of an area...” Fu Wenduo’s voice abruptly stopped as he looked at the Beijing map on the ground.


    The air in the private garage instantly solidified. Fu Wenduo’s hand stopped in the air while Tang Mo’s eyes slowly widened. Their faces exposed that something was wrong. The next second, they looked at each other and spoke in unison.


    “Is he called Ruan Wangshu?”


    “He is called Ruan Wangshu.”


    The confused Fu Wensheng looked at them. “What happened? Who is Ruan Wangshu? Big Brother, Brother Tang?”


    Tang Mo’s lips slowly tightened. He dipped the stone in the petrol again and wrote words on the ground. After writing these words, he paused for a moment before writing more words. Fu Wensheng didn’t know who Ruan Wangshu but once he saw thest words that Tang Mo wrote, he cried out with surprise, “Lian Yuzheng? Brother Tang, why did you write her name?”


    Tang Mo’s face was dignified. He looked at the child and exined, “It is because... 30 seconds ago, the ck tower issued an announcement. China District 1’s stowaway Ruan Wangshu and official yer Lian Yuzheng have sessfully cleared the ck tower’s second floor (hard mode).”


    Fu Wensheng’s eyes widened and he cried out, “Lian Yuzheng? The popr female singer Lian Yuzheng?!!”


    Nanjing, the new Nanjing Group.


    Chai Rong was practicing boxing when he heard this sound. He was so scared that he broke the sandbag.


    Shanghai, the Attack organization.


    Jack was the only member of the organization to hear the announcement. He was stunned and went to the office of Luo Fengcheng, who was holding a folder. The folder was filled with a thick stack of paper, with two lines disyed at the top. The top line clearly read: Bai Ruoyao, Yuzhong District, Chongqing...


    Such situations were urring around the globe.


    Some yers heard about the hard mode for the first time and asked with surprise, “Eh, hard mode? Who are these two Chinese yers and how did they clear the hard mode?” Some yers were long used to it. They mouthed these two strange Chinese names and no longer concerned themselves with it.


    A clear voice was heard in the minds of 364 yers around the world.


    “Ding dong! China District 1’s official yer Lian Yuzheng has sessfully cleared the ck tower’s second floor (hard mode).”


    “Ding dong! China District 1’s stowaway...”


    The ck tower made the global announcement three times.


    The author has something to say:


    Foreign yers: I feel that the China’s yers are especially amazing. Why are they all Chinese people? [Stunned Face]


    Chinese yers: Hehehe, call your fathers!
