…

The special effects and skills of this pair of rings were quite impressive but the attributes on the other hand, left Li Yi speechless. They were all attribute-lowering equipment.

Both rings were in the shape of Cactus King, adorning an adorable appearance. Li Yi did not take a fancy but Sister Windcloud Nine fell in love.

“The attributes are really good. Brother Yi, let’s split them between us, you take one, I’ll take one.”

“You can have them both.”

Li Yi hurled both rings to Sister Nine.

Although the special effects and skills were great, the attributes lowered were too much that it was not worthwhile. Li Yi was in pursue of the ultimate damage so he would not set his eyes on attribute-lowering equipment.

However, this pair of rings were suitable for Sister Nine. She was slow-minded, having slow reflexes during monster-farming. Equipping these two rings could save her a lot effort when tiny cactuses and Cactus King were released.

“All for me? All for me?”

Sister Windcloud Nine’s eye went red.

“Thank you…” She felt a lump up her throat.

Did she really have to?

Li Yi was speechless.

He did not know that if Sister Windcloud Nine saw something that she liked and someone were to give it to her, she would be moved to tears. Brother Windcloud Nine courted her this way.

“What? Don’t tell me you’re going to pay me back with your body?”

“Pst hahaha —” Sister Windcloud Nine laughed out loud.

“Let’s go to the next floor.”

With the exit presenting before them, Li Yi and Sister Windcloud Nine quickly cleared the desert stage.

On the 46th floor, Li Yi bribed the red-robed guardian to revive the entire party.

The last revival chance was used up.

If they were to bribe before clearing the desert stage, then they would have to go through the desert stage again. It was easier now as resurrecting on this floor would cause party members who have died to skip the desert stage.

Li Yi informed Brother Windcloud Nine on the fact that they could not bribe the guardian anymore. Hearing this, Brother Nine merely shook his head. The best strength of his was throwing money and with 100 chances gone, there was nothing more he could do.

“I doubt anyone could clear 100 floors.”

Li Yi chuckled, “I won’t say so.”

There has yet to be a player who successfully changed class but in the past life, the number of players who changed class was not just a handful.

Those who clear through their own ability may be scarce but in this world, there was a profession called boosters.

No one has been able to clear the Tower of Remorse because everyone was still unfamiliar with the tower’s setting and deciphering various mechanisms. Once familiarly sets in, clearing 100 floors would be an easy feat.

Although Li Yi did not have a bad track record in clearing towers, it was not a one man show. Coordination in the party was crucial. What more could he do if he was capable of clearing but not his teammates?

If the players’ ability went up as a whole, the difficulty in clearing Tower of Remorse would drop.

The 46th floor was a forest stage. The degree of difficulty in forest stage was average so it was nothing to Li Yi’s party.

Li Yi’s party only spent 3 minutes to clear the stage.

The 47th floor was a maze stage. Li Yi led the party to clear this stage in 1 minute.

The 48th floor was another forest stage and though there was slight change to the map, the difficulty was still not as high. 5 minutes later, the party cleared without suffering any casualties.

Li Yi’s party shot straight up to the 57th floor where they were met with the frozen maze, putting a halt into the party’s onward footsteps.

Apart from Li Yi and The Cat that Sings, the rest died. Since they could no longer bribe to revive, those who were dead were teleported out of the tower by force.

“Sister Cat, do we continue?”

“Why not? Let’s do it!”

Li Yi was going to give up but since The Cat that Sings wanted to carry on, he has to comply.

The duo spent an hour before they cleared the frozen maze. However, they both cursed in unison when they arrived on the 58th floor.

“F*ck!”

Another desert stage…

The higher the floor in the tower, the more difficult the stages became. There were too many random huge sandstorms, traps and mechanisms in the desert. At the face of windstorm, it took luck to save oneself from it…

Obviously, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings were not blessed with luck as the moment they entered the stage, they encountered a tornado that swept them both about for 5 minutes before they were dropped into a deep pit…

As the surface around was made out of sand, it was not possible to climb out from under the pit.

This was a dead end.

“I don’t believe I can’t climb out of here, f*ck!”

The Cat that Sings made use of all her limps to scramble her way up. She made it about seven or eight meters when she contracted a quicksand that caused her to fall back down.

As the pit was not huge, Sister Cat broke her fall by landing right into Li Yi’s embrace.

Sister Cat was not having it, “F*ck, you touched me.”

“No.”

“Why do I feel like there’s a hand?”

The Cat that Sings lowered her head for a look and saw a red scorpion on her chest.

“F*ck, how dare you to molest me?”

The Cat that Sing snagged the red scorpion and tossed it to the ground for a full on trample, in show of her valiant nature.

“Stop stomping, let’s just give up.”

Li Yi was clear that if they fell into a pit and there no other players coming to the rescue, they would not be able to get out so giving up was their only choice.

“No way, we’re at the 58th floor. Just a little bit more and we’ll be winning,” The Cat that Sings refused to the submit to her fate.

“Let’s just give up, it’s really…”

Li Yi has not finished talking when The Cat that Sings’ hand extended her arm out like lightning.

Pft tst —

Another red scorpion was crushed to death by Sister Cat.

“If it weren’t for my quick hands, you’ll become…”

Li Yi, “…”

Trapped in the pit, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings were bantering again.

Li Yi waved his arm, “Stop stop stop, aren’t we studying this pit?”

“You’re the one who wanted to, so who’s to blame?” The Cat that Sings was not yielding.

Scorpions!

Red scorpions!

From inside this underground cave, their surroundings were filled with scorpions.

Creeping over Li Yi’s body and The Cat that Sings’ body were scorpions.

“So many scorpions, f*cking hell motherf*cker c*nt, Cyclone Formation!”

Before The Cat that Sings could put on her equipment, she initiated Cyclone Formation. At the flicker of a white shadow, the scorpions around exploded to their death.

“Territory Release!”

Li Yi unleashed Chrono Territory as well, freezing the incoming surge of scorpions.

“What is this place?”

Li Yi and The Cat that Sings asked the same question in unison.

“F*ck!”

The duo gave each other the middle finger.

Sha sha sha sha sha sha sha…

A peculiar fading sound was heard, prompting the duo to hold their breath.

As the lighting was quite dimmed inside, they were limited to a vague visual and under as an environment, fear started creeping in their hearts.

Restricted to only sound without vision, the ever valiant Sister Cat could not help but tremble. She subconsciously drew near to Li Yi and grabbed his hand.

Sister Cat’s dainty hand was like ice. Tiny and supple, it was quite comfortable to touch.

Li Yi laughed within. This seemingly valiant Sister Cat has a timid side to her.

Just then, The Cat the Sings let go of Li Yi’s hand and held her dagger to sprint towards the direction of the sound.

“C*ntface motherf*cker assw*pe, make yourself known.”

Even with fear in her heart, Sister Cat was still valiant as always…
