39: Global Sensation!

Chapter 39 Global Sensation!

"What's wrong with being level 23? Isn't it an exaggeration to reach the fiftieth floor at level 23? Hey, wait a minute... you're level twenty-three?" Lei Tai's eyes widened.

"The higher the floor, the higher the reward. From the first floor to the fiftieth floor, you can get a total of twelve million seven hundred seventy-five thousand experience points. It's normal to reach level 23," Liu Xinxin said from the side.

As expected of Liu Xinxin, she was the most sensitive and quick with numerical calculations.

"It's just that we didn't expect you to instantly climb the Global Endless Tower rankings," Ye Hongyi said.

"It was... quite simple," Lu Ran said, scratching his head.

This earned him eye-rolls from the Three Guild Leaders and Qin Wuyao.

"It's fine, isn't it? Anyway, I hid my personal information. They'll just think it's a high-level Undead Mage, nothing special," Lu Ran mused.

"It's not that simple. Before you climbed to twenty-eighth place, the top thirty were all hidden professions. Among them, there were only six magic-based professions, and they either had high burst damage, high control, or skills to restore health. No Undead Mage has ever made it up there," Liu Xinxin said.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw that it was true!

Moreover, he found Lei Tai's ranking on it, eleventh place!

Ye Hongyi's ranking was eighth.

He didn't see Liu Xinxin's name.

"Don't look, I'm a healing profession, with very few offensive skills. Although I can ensure I don't die, the damage output required for the higher floors isn't enough for me," Liu Xinxin saw through Lu Ran's thoughts at a glance.

Then she added, "But it doesn't matter, you've hidden your personal information anyway, so no one will find out that Undead Mage is you."

Lu Ran looked at the ranking board.

He was in twenty-eighth place, but twenty-ninth and thirtieth place also had the same fifty-floor record as him.

So he curiously asked Liu Xinxin.

"For the same floor count, the ranking depends on the clear time. The shorter the time, the higher the ranking. Twenty-seventh place is 51 floors. Below that, among all the fifty-floor clears, your clear speed is the fastest. How long did it take?" Liu Xinxin explained while asking.

"About four minutes, I guess," Lu Ran estimated.

As soon as he spoke, the Three Guild Leaders fell silent again.

Although Liu Xinxin had already explained it, Lu Ran probably still couldn't fully grasp how explosive it was for an Undead Mage to climb the Endless Tower rankings.

At the same time, the news spread globally.

Huaxia, Imperial Capital.

After Yu Qingcang finished handling his affairs, someone came to report that an Undead Mage had climbed the Endless Tower rankings.

Yu Qingcang was startled and asked in surprise, "Who is it? Someone from our guild?"

Currently, the strongest Undead Mages nationwide were basically all from the Tiandao Alliance, so Yu Qingcang naturally assumed so.

But his subordinate shook his head and said, "Not sure. The other party, like the Undead Mage who previously obtained hades' crystal skull, has hidden their personal information. Only their nationality and profession are visible; everything else is unknown. It's possible it's the same Undead Mage."

Yu Qingcang was a little dumbfounded.

Lu Ran obtaining hades' crystal skull was nothing.

Because it wasn't necessarily Lu Ran who obtained it himself; if the Three Guild Leaders obtained it and gave it to Lu Ran to equip, he could still climb the equipment ranking.

But this Endless Tower was different.

The Endless Tower was a solo dungeon!

Lu Ran could only clear it himself!

But...

What level was Lu Ran now? How did he reach the fiftieth floor?

Just with the no-cooldown Skeleton Soldier Corpse Explosion?

Yu Qingcang was a bit bewildered.

He thought for a moment, opened his communicator, and planned to ask the Three Guild Leaders.

But at this moment, a knock sounded.

Yu Qingcang temporarily gave up. After letting his subordinate open the door, a tall, thin man rushed in.

"Old Yu! Tell me honestly, who exactly is that Undead Mage!" The man's eyes were red.

"What? You know the news too?" Yu Qingcang chuckled and said.

"Nonsense! The Endless Tower rankings! That represents a comprehensive display of individual combat power. An Undead Mage climbing up there, I never dared to imagine it in my life!" The man said excitedly.

His name was Wang Mu, Huaxia's First Undead Mage, Level 60!

Yu Qingcang fell silent.

Wang Mu seemed to sense something.

He mused, "So, you really know that Undead Mage, right? Who is it exactly! I want to apprentice!"

Yu Qingcang sighed.

He said, "Old Wang, we're comrades, with so many years of friendship, I don't want to hide it from you, but this matter, I've already reported it to the higher-ups. It involves classified information, so I can't tell you."

Classified!

Wang Mu's eyes widened. The other party's identity was actually classified!

But Wang Mu still couldn't hold back and gritted his teeth, "It's those few leaders at the top, right? I also have connections with them, I'll go ask them!"

But Yu Qingcang shook his head.

He said, "It's useless. Those few at the top don't know. What I reported is to the very top. This classified information is of the highest level and not included in archives. The ones you mentioned don't have access. Old Wang, listen to me, don't ask anymore. You'll know eventually, and it won't be long."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Those few at the very top!

Wang Mu dared not continue thinking about it.

Moreover, it was a top-level classified secret, not even included in archives to prevent leakage, and even those influential leaders he knew didn't have access!

"Understood. I was impulsive. It's a good thing you reminded me, otherwise, if I continued to inquire, I would have made a mistake," Wang Mu said with lingering fear.

Yu Qingcang saw him give up asking and also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You said I'd know soon, don't lie to me," Wang Mu added at the end.

On the other side.

Sakura, Chi Nai Grand Shrine.

In the conference room, a woman dressed in a large red miko outfit adorned with cherry blossoms sat in the main seat.

She was Nanasheng, currently ranked first in the Endless Tower.

The eldest daughter of the Tsuchimikado family, Sakura First Onmyoji, President of Chi Nai Grand Shrine, and also the Shintoism Priestess of Sakura!

At this time, the high-ranking officials of Chi Nai Grand Shrine sat separately.

"An Undead Mage made it to twenty-eighth place in the Endless Tower, what do you all think?" Nanasheng asked indifferently.

The high-ranking officials of the shrines on both sides exchanged glances and voiced their opinions:

"Just good luck, only fifty floors, nothing special."

"No need to pay attention, maybe it was due to some special equipment that they cleared fifty floors."

"The other party hid their personal information. I suspect it's the same person as the owner of hades' crystal skull."

...

Upon hearing this, Nanasheng frowned deeply.

She reprimanded, "Idiots! That Undead Mage not only cleared the fiftieth floor of the Endless Tower but also did it in the shortest time among all fifty-floor clears! Tell me, what luck or equipment can allow an Undead Mage to achieve such a feat!"

Reprimanded by Nanasheng, everyone immediately dared not speak.

But no one could figure it out. If it wasn't an equipment issue, what else could it be?

Could it be a problem with the Undead Mage itself?

But an Undead Mage was just an Undead Mage, what kind of problem could there be?

Even Nanasheng, who was furious at the moment, had no clue.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, Nanasheng waved her hand and said:

"Never mind. Although it's strange, that Undead Mage reaching fifty floors is already their limit. No need to pay attention. Just keep an eye on Yu Qingcang. The reason I called you all here today was to ask about the results of your investigation into Huaxia's nationwide blockade of cross-border teleportation. How did that go?"
