[Entering the village, you follow the small path through the center and soon arrive near the Brave Tower.]
[Below the Brave Tower, you see that over two thousand Fools have gathered, like you, all holding a Hero’s Badge, seemingly waiting for something. Meanwhile, the towering Brave Tower in front of you has its doors at the base tightly shut.]
[Note: Fighting and brawling are strictly forbidden within the Hero’s Village, and any violators will be stripped of their hero qualifications and expelled from the village.]
Over two thousand people...
Mu You clicked his tongue in astonishment, had so many people already received this task?
However, for a task of such a large scale, there should have been some information on the forum...
With that thought, Mu You switched to the forum to have a look.
On the forum’s homepage, neither domestic nor international sections had any related messages for the time being.
Mu You thought for a moment, then switched to the Indonesia region section to check, as the players who had received this task were mostly from the Indonesia region.
This time, there indeed was something!
On the forum for the Indonesia section, posts containing the word ’Hero’ had significantly increased.
Mu You briefly browsed through and found out that the task hadn’t been open for long; the earliest post had just been issued on Friday afternoon.
And this timing coincided with the opening of the City of Eternal Night...
In that case, did the task only officially appear after all twelve Sky Cities were unveiled?
Mu You quickly looked through a few related posts and pieced together some conclusions.
First, the Brave Tower was open from four in the morning until four in the afternoon every day.
Second, the Brave Tower had a total of 100 floors, and everyone with a badge could enter for free twice a day, starting from the first floor. Dying in the tower counted as one attempt. To enter again, it would cost 100 years of lifespan to buy a ticket.
Third, one of the posts mentioned that once inside the Brave Tower, all ’Untrue Power’ would be unusable.
As for what ’Untrue Power’ meant, the post wasn’t clear, only mentioning that all magic seemed to be disabled.
Mu You frowned and continued browsing, but unfortunately, perhaps because the opening hours were too short, he couldn’t find a single guide-worthy piece of information in the entire forum, only very scattered and chaotic info.
Of course, since the task had been open for two days and there had been four chances to enter, it was impossible that the skilled players from the Indonesia region hadn’t figured out the mechanics yet.
Obviously, the few who knew what was going on didn’t plan on making the information public. They were even intentionally blocking information, as this task was competitive in nature. Whoever reached the fiftieth floor first would receive that sole reward, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Mu You sighed. It looked like there was no hope for a guide, and he would have to explore on his own.
Mu You returned to the game, and it was already past three fifty in the morning, leaving just a few minutes until the Brave Tower would open.
With nothing better to do, Mu You controlled his character to stroll around the village.
[As you were walking around near the Brave Tower to observe the situation, a merchant dressed as a Fool suddenly called out to you.]
[You turned and saw that this Fool had set up a stall on the ground, displaying several dozen hexagonal star badges. Most of them seemed to have different colors from the Hero’s Badge in your hand.]
["Hey pal, you’re an Earth Hero, aren’t you? Need to switch your Hero’s Badge?" the Fool merchant asked, rubbing his hands and looking at the badge in your hand.]
Mu You was taken aback, only now remembering his badge did indeed have a suffix "(Earth)"...
There are different classifications for these badges?
Mu You controlled his character to inspect the other’s stall.
However, the names that came back were quite a surprise.
[Hero’s Badge (Fire), Hero’s Badge (Water), Hero’s Badge (Star), Hero’s Badge (Moon)...]
In his stall, there were a total of nine types of Hero’s Badges, with the suffixes: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Star, Moon, and Darkness.
Seeing these suffixes for the first time, Mu You felt an instant familiarity.
As just yesterday, in the City Lord group chat, he had just seen something similar—the attributes of the Sky City Lords’ Statues!]
