Chapter 71: Farming Mode

“It’s the 60th floor!”

Lin Mo stood alone on the empty sixth floor, waiting for his opponent to appear.

Along the way, he had a rough understanding of the situation in the New Talent Tower.

The New Talent Tower was a place that tested one’s overall strength. Some opponents were good at strength, some were good at speed, and some were good at sneak attacks. Sometimes, they would even be surrounded by several opponents… Of course, as long as one had absolute strength, any test was the same!

For example, Lin Mo was bare-handed and rampaging. He punched his opponents one by one and directly crushed them all the way to the 60th floor.

“From the fiftieth floor on, each opponent has a fourth-rank combat technique.”

It was no wonder that there were so few people on the annual rankings who had broken through to the 50th floor or above. After all, among the third-year students every year, there were not many who had reached the fourth rank in combat technique. Moreover, most of them had yet to challenge the challenge mode.

“The opponent on the 59th floor is only at the relatively ordinary level of the early-stage fourth rank. However, his combat intelligence is higher, and his overall strength is stronger!” Lin Mo estimated that from the 60th to the 69th floor, his opponent’s combat skills would still be at the early-stage fourth rank. However, his combat intelligence, combat ability, and so on should be raised to an extremely high level.

Soon, the opponent on the 60th floor appeared. It was a female warrior brandishing a long whip.

The whip in the green-robed heroine’s hand was nearly ten meters long. She only took a few steps forward and swept it horizontally. The tail of the whip was enough to injure Lin Mo.

In her opinion, Lin Mo, who was bare-handed, had no weapon to block the whip. Under her whip, he could only run around exhausted.

“Die!” The green-robed woman’s eyes were ferocious, as if she wanted to whip Lin Mo to death.

However, in the next second, the ferociousness in her eyes turned into shock. Lin Mo reached out and grabbed the tail of the whip.

“How is that possible!?” The green-robed woman’s eyes were about to fall out.

How fast was the tail of a whip? Catching a long whip empty-handed was much more difficult than slashing it empty-handed!

Lin Mo ignored his opponent’s shock and grabbed the end of the whip. With a sudden yank, the green-robed female warrior was sent flying. A fist the size of a sandbag was waiting for her.

BOOM!

Lin Mo punched out, and his peak rank 4 strength instantly erupted!

This punch, which was three small realms apart, was not something that an early-stage fourth-rank green-robed heroine could withstand.

One punch, kill!

60th floor, pass!

At the same time, Lin Mo received a notification from the New Excellence Tower. “Primordial Universe player Lin Mo, congratulations on passing the 60th floor of the Ascetic Tower for the first time. You have received 1 Primordial Universe point.”

Primordial Universe Points?

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up. This was good stuff!

One Primordial Universe point was equivalent to a million yuan in reality! Moreover… Primordial Universe points could be easily exchanged for money, but money might not be able to buy Primordial Universe points.

“Doesn’t this mean that I just made a million yuan with one punch?” Lin Mo suddenly realized that it was so easy to earn money!

A million yuan a punch!

Ten punches for ten million!

‘Make money? As long as I have hands!’

Having tasted the sweetness of “making money”, Lin Mo immediately became even more motivated. He even realized that the towers in the forest were not ascetic towers. They were simply money trees!

“When I have nothing to do in the future, I can come to the forest to farm money often!” Lin Mo thought as he looked up at the 61st floor expectantly.

As far as he knew, after reaching a certain level in the Ascetic Tower, one would obtain Primordial Universe points for every level. Clearly, the New Excellence Tower had points rewards starting from the 60th level.

However, just as Lin Mo was happily activating the “money farming mode”, he did not know that… in the entire Xia country, millions of eyes were staring intently at the annual rankings of the New Excellence Tower. They were dumbfounded as they watched the number of floors on “Black Earth” constantly increase.

“61st floor, passed!”

“65st floor, passed!”

“So fast! Black Earth is so fast! He’s definitely the fastest man I’ve ever seen in my life!”

“Lady upstairs, I suspect you’re driving, but I have no proof!”¹

“How can he be so fast? He’s already on the 65th floor. Is Black Earth still insta-killing him?”

“The only reasonable explanation is that… Black Earth’s combat technique has already reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank!”

“Hiss—a third-year student at the mid-stage of the fourth rank? I feel like I’ve embarrassed my alma mater. I’m already a fourth-year student, but I’m still inferior to a high school student!”

“Brother upstairs, don’t be sad. I’ve been out of university for three years, but I still can’t compare to Black Earth. But am I discouraged? No! — What’s the big deal if I can’t compare to Black Earth today? I don’t think I can compare to Black Earth in my lifetime!”

“In my opinion, not only has Black Earth’s combat technique already reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank, but the weapon he uses is definitely extremely lethal! Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to clear the tower so quickly!”

“Could Black Earth have brought mortars in and blasted his way through?”

“What bloody mortar! We can only bring some conventional cold weapons with us in the Ascetic Tower!”

“Let’s see which floor Black Earth can reach!”

“From the looks of it, he’s about to enter the New Excellence Tower’s history rankings! I wonder if he can break the highest record in history!”

“Ding Yi” at the top of the historical list left a record of 72 floors.
