Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 142: System’s announcement
[Ding! Congratulations, you are the first person to pass through Challenge Floor 10 and receive the special reward of the Challenge Tower.]
[Ding! The system will notify all other lords 3 times, visible to them. Do you want to hide your identity?]
Noan sighed and said, "Hide my identity."
[Ding! Successfully hid the identity.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]
…
Elsewhere, Jankos was preparing to enter the Challenge Tower to choose his Class when a notification from the system appeared before him.
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]
"What the hell?!" Jankos saw the notification appear three times before him as if mocking him.
He gritted his teeth, his hands clenched so tightly they turned white.
Previously, an E+ Rank Lord had taken his number one position, and now, a Rank F Lord could pass through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.
It should be known that even a former Emperor could only reach Floor 8 of the Challenge Tower.
No one had ever set foot on Floor 9, let alone passed through Floor 10.
But now, a Rank F Lord had passed through Floor 10.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
The surprising thing was that this Lord was only Rank F.
That's right, a Rank F Lord could pass Floor 10, a place that even SS Rank Lords couldn't reach.
What in the world is going on? Is this world crazy, or is he dreaming?
Since when have Rank E and F Lords become so strong?
"Damn it! A worthless Rank E+ bastard and a worthless Rank F bastard, don't let me catch you, or else..." Jankos gritted his teeth, his eyes seeming to spew fire.
He had always thought that after obtaining the 'Shards of Fate,' he would shine like the sun, emitting blinding light that would make everyone revere him.
However, before he could shine, other lights burned his eyes.
That's why he was furious and confused—could something strange happen in this world?
…
BAM!
At that moment, Alex had just smashed the head of a Zombie Licker.
Holding an E-rank energy crystal in his hand, he couldn't wait any longer and immediately absorbed its energy.
Even though the crystal was dirty, covered in blood and bits of flesh,
Alex needed to grow stronger, and he wanted to use the fastest method to become more powerful.
Since his encounter with that mysterious person, his arrogance and confidence had been like a shield with several cracks.
However, he didn't believe he would permanently lose.
It should be known that Alex possessed SS-level natural talent, and his mentor even claimed that he was a 'Fate Holder,' blessed by the goddess of fortune.
Therefore, he believed that failure was simply because he wasn't strong enough.
As long as he was given more time, he was sure he would become stronger, surpassing that mysterious person.
After absorbing the E-rank energy crystal, Alex felt his wounds were getting better.
With just a few more E-rank crystals, his injuries would heal completely.
By then, he could continue strengthening his power to a whole new level.
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord ??? Rank F Level 3 is the first to pass through Challenge Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.]
"Dammit!" A notification from the system suddenly appeared, causing him to curse.
Not just once, but the notification appeared three times, forcing him to pay attention.
"Rank F? Damn it! Since when can a Rank F Lord pass through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower?"
"Fake! It must be fake!"
The confidence he had just built up was shattered once again by the system's notification.
He, of course, knew what the Challenge Tower represented.
But how could a Rank F Lord pass through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower?
"System! Are you sure there was no mistake when sending this notification? Could it be that this Lord is Rank SS?"
The system remained silent and did not respond to Alex.
He truly wanted to believe that the system had made a mistake with the Lord's rank in the notification. Although the chances were almost nonexistent, he still hoped it was the case.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Alex thought of something: "Could it be... that the mysterious person who defeated me is the Lord who passed through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower?"
The more Alex thought about it, the more he felt this reasoning made sense.
A Lord with extraordinary power would indeed have an unusual monster under their command.
Therefore, it was possible that such a Lord could pass through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower.
The more he thought, the more Alex felt his guess was logical. However, he immediately shook his head, trying not to think any further.
If his guess was accurate, just how influential was that mysterious person?
He didn't want to think about that, as it would truly destroy his confidence.
"No! I am a 'Fate Holder,' I can surpass him," Alex mumbled to himself.
With that belief, Alex became even more desperate to hunt zombies.
…
"A Rank F Lord passing through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower?"
A dignified and powerful woman was sitting in the palace, seated upon a golden throne.
Her body was enveloped in a mist, and no one could see her actual appearance.
Her voice rang out like a mountain pressing down on the backs of everyone present in the palace.
They all bowed their heads, not daring to speak further, as they had just seen the notification from the system.
Indeed, the Lords in the special zone and even those outside could receive this notification.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Catherine lightly tapped her fingers on the armrest of the golden throne. The sound, though faint, became deafening in the stillness of the space.
Strangely, the immense palace had nearly a hundred people present, yet no one dared to speak, creating an atmosphere heavy with silence and tension.
After a moment, Catherine spoke: "I give you three days to find the person who passed through Floor 10 of the Challenge Tower."
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a man suddenly spoke: "The number of Rank F Lords is vast, and the lower-ranked Lords have all been sent into the Chaos World. Finding them will be very difficult."
"Hopefully, Your Majesty can show mercy and give us more time."
"Hm?!" Catherine furrowed her brows, her gaze turning to the man, filled with murderous intent.
The air grew hotter as if a fire were burning in the space.
Everyone bowed their heads in fear, and the man who had spoken was also terrified. He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I speak the truth. The Lords sent into the Chaos World seem to be covered by some power."
"Our system cannot connect with their system to update their information, and therefore, searching for them will be extremely difficult."
Hearing this, Catherine withdrew the pressure and coldly said: "Seven days. If you cannot find this person, then you may prepare your resignation letters."
With that, she stood and left without waiting for anyone to respond.
Everyone in the room let out a long sigh, filled with despair.
It should be known that although the number of Lords only comprised 0.1% of the world's population, it was still significant.
Moreover, almost all the lower-ranked Lords had been sent into the Chaos World, and they could not investigate or update the information of those Lords.
It could be said that finding this person was an impossible task.
Everyone could only sigh in resignation.
…
Elsewhere, in the area designated for Rank D Lords,
By a river, a young man sat leaning against a large stone, panting heavily, his body covered in blood.
Notably, there was a scratch-like wound on his arm.
The wound no longer bled, but blood vessels were visible, spreading like tree roots, starting from the injury and crawling throughout his body.
The young man lowered his head to look at the wound, his face filled with despair.
"Damn it! Why is this happening to me?" He gritted his teeth, his voice full of resentment.
Beside him, a Pixie hovered in the air. Its form resembled a tiny girl with butterfly wings.
She looked at the young man with a worried expression, speaking a strange language.
The young man frowned, shaking his head. "It's useless. I've been infected with the zombie virus. Even if you use healing magic, I'll still become a zombie."
Clang!
Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, startling the young man.
He pulled out the necklace he had been wearing and discovered that the pendant, which had once been a purple gem, had now shattered, revealing a shard-like broken glass that emitted a dazzling glow.
"This is..."
