Black Tower 4.0 update ~ Eve's game ~

Fiddlesticks' darts, the target of which will run uncontrollably for 40.2 kilometers. This is a karma prop that looks very counter-intuitive, but is actually a bit of a cockamamie. If you use it during a fight, the enemy will be in a constant state of dodging and running. As long as they adjust their state in time, it will be useless.

Bai Ruoyao apparently adapted to this oddball prop in a flash.

The silver-colored butterfly knives were like fluttering leaves, each stabbing Tang Mo's vitals, and their movements were extremely fast. Tang Mo dared not be careless. After not seeing him for half a month, Bai Ruoyao's strength had actually improved. He was faster and stronger. Tang Mo opened the small Yang San with a snap, only to hear the sound of metal clashing on the umbrella surface with the slender butterfly knife.

The two butterfly knives actually left a white scratch on the reinforced little Yang San!

Bai Ruoyao hooked up his lips, "Tangtang, your umbrella is nice."

A black shadow flashed by, Bai Ruoyao immediately used his butterfly knife to block the blow. He slid backward a few meters, raised his head, and stared at Fu Wenduo.

From Tang Mo's dart to Bai Ruoyao's attack, it all happened in three seconds.

Although Bai Ruoyao was psychotic, he was not a fool. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his gaze turned a fist at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's bodies before looking at the three Chen Shanshan on the side. His eyes shone with a faint light, looking at the deathly aura on the bodies of the five. He gave a cheeky laugh, "There are so many of you, bullying me alone."

Practicing Yu Zheng clasped his hands on his arms, "I will stay out of your business."

But besides practicing Yu Zheng , there were four other people. Fu Wenduo and Jacks couldn't possibly watch Bai Ruoyao attack Tang Mo casually.Especially Jacks, he glared viciously at Bai Ruoyao.The baby-faced young man noticed his angry gaze and blinked: "That big guy over there, do I know you? Don't look at me with such a passionate gaze, I'm not a homosexual. gay."

Jacks Gnash: "Bai Ruoyao ......"

Bai Ruoyao raised his eyebrows, "You know me?"

Jacks knew Bai Ruoyao, of course, but Bai Ruoyao didn't know him.

Bai Ruoyao's enemies in Shanghai are countless. In the gathering copy that Shanghai players will never forget, although Jacks didn't lose the game because of Bai Ruoyao, he also suffered a lot indirectly. Only a madman can do something that is detrimental to others.

Jacks doesn't really hate Bai Ruoyao, but he hates him a lot.

Bai Ruoyao muttered, "So I'm this popular," and the smile on his face grew even wider.

"You didn't come here to kill me this time."

Bai Ruoyao smiled and looked at Tang Mo: "Don't want to kill you?"

Tang Mo put away Little Yang San, not the least bit worried about Bai Ruoyao's sudden attack: ''Although you have an odd personality, you're not a fool and won't send yourself to death. When you attacked me when I was alone, you had a chance of winning if we fought alone. But now that there are so many people, even if you do kill me, you won't be able to leave alive."

Bai Ruoyao deliberately exaggerated, "Wow, so that's what I thought, it's the first time I know eh Tangtang."

Tang Mo ignored the man's feigned insanity as he coldly said, "Bai Ruoyao, what do you want here?"

Bai Ruoyao: "Take a walk."

No one believes his bullshit.

Bai Ruoyao said with a serious tone and a smile, "I was taking a walk, and I accidentally saw Tangtang and Major Fu. we are old friends, how long have we not seen each other, of course I want to come up and say hello when I see you." Bai Ruoyao pulled the dart off his shoulder without changing his color, he didn't give it back to Tang Mo, but put it into his pocket very naturally. He didn't give it back to Tang Mo, but put it in his pocket very naturally. However, this prop will become an ordinary dart after one use, and Tang Mo didn't stop him from doing so.

A low male voice rang out, "Yesterday the Black Tower announced that a new version would be updated soon."

Bai Ruoyao bristled and twisted his head to look at the man with a calm face.

Fu Wenduo swept a glance at the doll-faced youth and cut in, "You're worried about this update."

Bai Ruoyao paused for half a second, then suddenly smiled, "Ah, so that's what I thought, and again, it's the first time I've known, thank you Major Fu."

Any exchange of words seemed to be useless before this baby-faced young man's deliberate act of stupidity. Tang Mo's eyes narrowed as he stared at Bai Ruoyao, and after a few moments, he looked up at Fu Wenduo, who shook his head at him as they stared at each other, and the corners of Tang Mo's mouth pursed up as he turned to walk away, not intending to waste any more time on this man.

Bai Ruoyao saw this and exclaimed, "Hey Tangtang, don't you want to kill me?"

Tang Mo kept walking without looking back.

If there was a chance to kill this person, Tang Mo certainly wouldn't be lenient. However, he and Fu Wenduo agreed that Bai Ruoyao's strength had grown again, and no one knew where this person's strength had increased from, but if they really wanted to kill each other by force, Bai Ruoyao might be able to escape, and they would also reveal a lot of their cards.

This is Chosen's base camp. Practicing Yu Zheng is right next to it. There are plenty of opportunities to kill Bai Ruoyao, but now is not the time.

The crowd walked a little further when a helpless voice with a chuckle sounded from behind them, "What if I said that I have information about Mu Huixue?"

Tang Mo stopped on her feet and turned her head in dismay.

The butterfly knife flung a beautiful blade in the air and was received in the sleeve in the blink of an eye, and the smiling doll-faced youth winked at Tang Mo.

"I said, I know Mu Huixue Oh."

Fu Wen Sheng had mixed feelings when he heard that he would be able to meet Tang Mo and his big brother today. These days, he was at the Chosen Organization in place of Li Miaomiao, helping Ruan Wangshu and the others to heal their wounds. He was a little afraid of the Chosen's smugglers and had to be a follower. However, when he leaves Chosen he will have to meet Fu Wenduo ......

"Just out of the tiger's den, into the wolf's den ...... again," the little friend muttered to himself depressingly. Maybe his brother was even more vicious than Chosen!

A knock on the door sounded outside the classroom, Fu Wen Sheng was startled and subconsciously looked at Ruan Wangshu, who was sitting at the end of the classroom, the sickly white boy nodded at him and Fu Wen Sheng silently walked over to open the door. When he saw Tang Mo and the others, he was both happy and nervous, and timidly called out "Big Brother". After Fu Wenduo nodded, Fu Xiaodi's eyes flicked to the smiling psychopath standing at the back of the crowd.

Fu Wen exclaimed, "Ah, why you!"

Tang Mo's team also included this little kid who was always casually bullied by Bai Ruoyao, and the baby-faced youth mimicked Fu Xiaodi's stunned look and exaggeratedly acted out, "Ah, how come it's me. Hee hee, guess."

Fu Wen grunted audibly and was about to turn around and enter the classroom when he suddenly realized, "What are you doing running in place?"

Bai Ruoyao's smile froze, "......"

...... Tang Mo There is nothing good about this group at all!

Practicing Yu Zheng told Ruan Wangshu about Bai Ruoyao. Ruan Wangshu looked at Bai Ruoyao warily and allowed him to exchange information.

Ruan Wangshu : "Yes, yes, first you say, who is Mu Huixue."

Bai Ruoyao's eyes narrowed, "Why me first?"

Ruan Wangshu calmly said, "Because it is you who have asked us."

Bai Ruoyao made an exaggerated face, and Ruan Wangshu repeated, "If you don't want to cooperate, you can leave here, Mr. Bai."

Bai Ruoyao let out a laugh and said to Tang Mo, "Tangtang, look at him bullying me."

Tang Mo didn't bother to look at him.

Bai Ruoyao was still laughing, but his grim sight locked onto the pale teenager. After a moment, he spread his hands, ''Who made me have a good temper. Mu Huixue, 25 years old this year, from Guangzhou. She just returned to China the year before last, her hands are very good, and she is quite famous in the circle. I met her once in Moscow, a very good looking woman oh."

Tang Mo: "And then what? "

"Nothing."

Crowd: "......"

Ruan Wangshu's voice was icy cold, "Mr. Bai, if this is the information you wish to exchange with us, I think you can leave now."

Bai Ruoyao: "What I said is true."

Ruan Wangshu : "So what if it's true, does any of this mean anything to us."

Bai Ruoyao said with a straight face, "At least now you know if Mu Huixue is a man or a woman, how old he is, and where he lives."

In a flash of light, Yu Zheng pulled out a dagger. She was very fast, the dagger immediately on Bai Ruoyao's neck, and he didn't even hide, but looked at practicing Yu Zheng with a smile on his face. no one would have thought that this time, it was Tang Mo who stopped practicing Yu Zheng. he looked at Bai Ruoyao carefully, and after a long time, he said: "your information does make sense. "

Ruan Wangshu frowned, but he chose to believe Tang Mo.

Practicing Yu Zheng retrieves the dagger.

The fact that Bai Ruoyao knew Mu Huixue is significant in itself.

Without delay, putting Bai Ruoyao's matter aside, Ruan Wangshu spelled out the information that the Chosen Organization had gathered these days: ''Because of the existence of the Time Ranking, we all know that it's hard for Transparent People to trust each other, and there's not much of an organization. But it's not that there isn't. Half an hour ago the Transparent Man we caught this morning disappeared, and I ended his life before he did. He was ranked 98th on the Time Ranking." Ruan Wangshu looked grim, "According to him, there are a total of two better known Transparent Man teams in Beijing."

Tang Mo: "What kind of team?"

Ruan Wangshu : "The first one is a twin brother and sister, the brother is ranked 71st on the Time Ranking List.These two people are in the light and the other in the dark, no one has ever seen them together. No matter what time it is, if you fight with one of them, you have to always be on guard against the other one sneaking up from the shadows. They are very strong."

Fu Wenduo: "Where's the other team?"

Ruan Wangshu was silent for a moment, but he didn't even say it directly, instead he said, "Perhaps because Beijing is the capital of China, it is already densely populated and the city is rich in resources. As we guessed before, after Earth came online on November 18th, all of us survivors stayed on Earth, while the Transparent went to a place very similar to Earth. There is almost no difference between that place and Earth, and the only difference might be the lack of a moon."

Tang Mo: "No moon?"

Ruan Wangshu : "This is my speculation. Chosen has captured a total of nine Transparent People, and from their descriptions, they have never seen the moon. Apart from the extra rest time they get for killing people, the Transparent People can only rest on Earth for ten minutes after completing each game. I don't rule out that because ten minutes is a short period of time, coincidentally none of these people have ever seen the moon, but it's a bit too much of a coincidence that none of the nine people have seen the moon in six months. So I hypothesize that that Earth doesn't have a moon, only a sun."

"The moon symbolizes night, and night symbolizes rest. Transparent people do not need rest, so the Black Tower did not grant that world a moon." Ruan Wangshu looked to Chen Shanshan, the young girl looked calm, "This speculation is not impossible."

The crowd did not dwell on this topic as Ruan Wangshu continued, "The second organization is even more difficult to deal with than those twin siblings. Tang Mo, you said earlier that you met a middle-aged man who was number 89 on the Time Ranking."

Tang Mo nods, "Well, his name is Li Chaocheng."

Ruan Wangshu : "Beijing has a total of four people on the time charts."

Tang Mo was stunned, and Fu Wenduo asked, "Including Li Chaocheng?"

Ruan Wangshu: "Well, that includes him." The crowd was slightly relieved, but then they heard Ruan Wangshu say, "But the seventh place in the Time Ranking is in Beijing." Ruan Wangshu's voice grew heavy, "That transparent person said that the seventh place in the Time Ranking is a sixteen year old girl, her name is Xu Yunsheng."

Next, Ruan Wangshu describes in detail the three-member team, which has a very young average age.

Killing the top ten in the time ranking would earn you a fine quality prop. However, over the past half year, Xu Yunsheng's name had steadily climbed from over ninety to seventh place, and besides Mu Huixue, she was the second person in Huaxia on the Time Ranking. Players who were not on the Time Ranking were not necessarily not strong, but those who were able to enter this ranking must be bold and determined and powerful.

Ruan Wangshu: "Xu Yunsheng's team only kills meat pigs."

They only kill Transparencies with no extra rest time, unless a player tries to kill Xu Yunsheng to get props, then they will go for the counter-kill. Such a team was extremely rare amongst the Transparencies. There weren't many Transparencies that only dared to kill meat pigs, but there were very few players on the time charts that only killed meat pigs.

But this does not mean that Xu Yunsheng is not strong.

Ruan Wangshu looked up at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo : "A month ago, there were five Time Ranking players in Beijing. The Transparent in 36th place heard that Xu Yunsheng's team only kills meat pigs, and thought she was not strong enough, so he took the initiative to kill her. The next day his name disappeared from the time rankings and Xu Yunsheng climbed from 10th to 8th."

Ruan Wangshu didn't really know much about it; of the nine Transparencies Chosen captured, only one was a player on the Time Rankings. Xu Yunsheng's team had a very bad reputation in Beijing, any single player they came across would be killed. No one else could know their information, and no one even knew what Xu Yunsheng's powers were.

Tang Mo lowered his eyes, pondering the information of these two teams in his mind. Ruan Wangshu spoke some other information, mentioning in passing that although Shanghai didn't have any players ranked in the top fifty of the Time Ranking, it did have four players in the bottom fifty.

Chen Shanshan : "The Transparent People's regional division is the same as ours. Beijing is Huaxia Zone 1, Shanghai is Zone 2. Mu Huixue is Zone 3, and if she is in Guangzhou, then Guangzhou is Huaxia Zone 3."

The situation in Beijing is more complicated than anywhere else.

In addition to the two most famous teams, there are dozens of Transparent People teams in Beijing. These teams often consist of only two people, and when they find their "prey", the results are divided equally.

Most of the information Ruan Wangshu got was from Beijing, but he warned, "Many powerful people aren't on the Time Rankings, and we can't be careless. As far as I know, there seems to be two squads of foreigners over in Suzhou, neither of them are on the Time Ranking, but they are very famous, or infamous. The reason they are not on the time ranking is because they are particularly fond of resting, and will choose to rest whenever they have a break. However, they are extremely strong and cleared the third level of the Black Tower very early on, they like to raise meat pigs and their killing methods are very cruel."

Hearing the word Suzhou, Tang Mo paid a little attention, but didn't think too much of it.

The intelligence was all summarized, and the crowd made a quick decision.

Tang Mo : "There are still seven days until the Black Tower is renewed, we have to gather more information. I'm more concerned about the twins than Xu Yunsheng's team. The older brother is at #71 on the Time Ranking, but the younger sister is not." After a pause, Tang Mo looked down at Chen Shanshan : "Shanshan, what do you think?"

Chen Shanshan : "I also think that they seem a little more eccentric."

Bai Ruoyao's smiling voice rang out at this moment, "Wow, a woman's intuition? Such a small child also has a woman's sixth sense?"

Fu Wenduo faintly said, "Have you finished running?"

Bai Ruoyao, still running in place : "......"

After Tang Mo and Ruan Wangshu agreed, Chosen Organization and Tang Mo's side decided to use these seven days to catch as many Transparent People as possible.

Ruan Wangshu : "Since the Black Tower announced the new update, the Transparencies are staying on Earth longer, so if you catch a Transparent, you'll have more time to dig information out of him." ,

Chosen is centered around six powerful players, but they have many members.

The average strength of the transparent people is definitely stronger than the survivors, but the strength of the Chosen members is also far beyond the ordinary players. Bai Ruoyao ran for a whole hour and finally stopped his feet. He smiled as he listened to all of Ruan Wangshu's arrangements from the side, and only when the crowd focused their attention on him did they realize that he had disappeared at some point.

Even Fu Wenduo didn't notice his disappearance.

Tang Mo's mind became even more vigilant.

For the next seven days, Tang Mo accidentally enters a copy. More time was spent carefully searching for traces of the Transparent Man. When May 18th came, Tang Mo had already gotten a complete time ranking. First place was still Mu Huixue, Xu Yunsheng's name dropped from seventh to ninth, and his twin brother's name advanced to 62nd.

Ruan Wangshu and leaders of other organizations in Beijing also appear to have had dealings, but no contract has been reached between the two sides.

They are all waiting, waiting for a new version to arrive, waiting for a new situation.

May 18, 2018, 6:00 pm.

The warm red sunset slowly slid towards the horizon as a translucent moon rose from the east. The warm sunlight shone on the dark giant tower, actually making it appear soft. However, the moment the second hand pointed to six o'clock, an inclusive and warm song rang out, followed by a flood of female choruses coming from all directions.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were hiding in a small building on Chang'an Street, staring at the black tower from a distance.

The Black Tower had never been so gentle as it was today.

It's a Ave Maria.

The female voice hummed softly, and the black tower shimmered with a warm light red glow. However, in the deadly silence of Beijing, this otherwise very gentle song sounded strangely eerie. The earth was silent, and the roads of the city were empty. Countless pairs of eyes hid in a building, looking at the black tower with fearful and hateful eyes.

When the singing stopped, the light on the tower was annihilated at the same time.

Everything became cold again, yet this was the Black Tower.

A small white point of light flashed up at the tip of the tower. This time there were many people who noticed this point of light and they counted it quickly, however after a few seconds their expressions became ugly. Tang Mo tried his best to keep his eyes open to count the number of times the dot jumped, but even with his dynamic vision, he couldn't catch the number of times the dot jumped.

The point of light pulsed wildly, perhaps a hundred thousand times, perhaps a million times ......

Then came the second point of light.

It jumped over 30,000 times.

The third point of light jumped 6,923 times.

The fourth point of light only pulsed eleven times.

Tang Mo waited with great patience, but the fifth point of light didn't even light up again.

Tang Mo suddenly realized something, and his upper body tensed up. In the next moment, a clear and emotionless child's voice rang out -

"Ding Dong! New rules added to Black Tower version 4.0 -"

"First, the Endbringer copies are officially closed."

"Second, open the returnee game. Returners are players with no status, and the ways in which returners can gain status are announced: eliminating one stowaway earns you stowaway status; eliminating ten full players earns you full player status. Methods of elimination include, but are not limited to, gameplay.

"Third, returnees who receive status will no longer be subject to breaks. The Time Leaderboards will always exist, and the rankings will not be updated as of 18:00 pm on May 18, 2018."

"Fourth, turn on the stowaway conversion option. Stowaways who clear the fifth floor of the Black Tower are automatically turned into reservists; reservists who clear the sixth floor of the Black Tower are officially turned into full players. Returnees eliminating reservists can directly become official players."

Broadcast three times in a row, the cold childish voice echoed over every city on the globe. It was perhaps the quietest moment in the world, not a single person spoke, not a single person moved. It was as if they were panthers lying in the grass staring at their prey, waiting for their enemies to appear.

"Ding Dong! Five million six hundred and thirty-three million players successfully loaded into the game ......"

"Three hundred and twenty thousand players successfully loaded into the game ......"

"Game archive in progress ......"

"Player data loading in progress ......"

"Game data loading ......"

"Archived successfully at ......"

"Loaded successfully ......"

"The Returner Game has been updated ......"

"Dingdong! On May 18th, 2018, Black Tower version 4.0 is officially online, welcome players to the game."

Tang Mo hid in the small building, waiting for the last sentence, "Please try to attack the tower. Instead of staring at the Black Tower, he looks at the Chang'an Street in front of him. In Transparent Man's world, the Black Tower is also suspended above the Forbidden City. When Transparent Man returned to Earth and the two worlds merged, perhaps they would suddenly appear nearby.

But three seconds later, Tang Mo jerked his head up and looked at the black tower in dismay.

Chen Shanshan was surprised, "What about that line about please work on the tower?"

Fu Xiaodi also reacted, "Yeah, at the end of every update the Black Tower says something like please try to attack the tower, not this time? Doesn't it want us to attack the tower anymore."

Tang Mo's heart surged with a sense of foreboding, and Fu Wenduo's face gradually sank.

In the next instant, a joyous childish voice rang out over the globe--

"Dingdong! Mu Huixue, a returnee from Huaxia Zone 3, took the lead in clearing the fourth floor of the Black Tower, triggering the Black Tower 4.0 version update. The returnee receives the reward - Eve's Game."

"Rules of the game--"

"First, for seven days, from May 18 to May 24, 2018, the game will be played from 18:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the next day. The game does not affect the Black Tower game."

"Secondly, during the game time, returnees receive an additional 'Eve's Reward' prop. The prop is a one-time prop, and players are asked to find their own way to use the prop."

"Third, returnees who fail to use their props at the end of the game are judged to have lost the game."

"Fourth, an Earth player who kills a Returner on the Time Leaderboards will receive that Returner's ' Eve's Reward'. If that Returner does not use the 'Eve's Reward', the Earth player may find a way to use the prop."

"Fifth, an Earth player who kills Mu Huixue, a returnee from Huaxia 3, will receive 'Eve's Reward' and the rare prop 'Fallacy Compass'."

"Sixth, returnees who kill Fu Wenduo, a stowaway from Chinese Zone 1, can directly open 'Eve's Reward' and gain the 'Respect of the Underground People'."

"Seventh, Returners kill Lena Chopphos, official player of Europe 1, for direct access to ......"

......

"Thirteenth, Returners who kill Tang Mo, an official player of China Area 1, can directly open 'Eve's Reward' and gain the 'Respect of the Circus Leader of Oddities'."

"Fourteenth, Returnee kills Ruan Wangshu, a stowaway from China 1, available at ......"

"Fifteenth, Returner kills official player of Huaxia Zone 1 practicing Yu Zheng ......"

......

"Forty-nine, the returnee kills James Holland, the stowaway from Europe's Zone 18, which opens up 'Eve's Reward' directly."

All over the globe, in every corner, all the players stood with their eyes wide open, listening to the Black Tower finish the forty-nine rules one by one. There had never been a Black Tower game that had so many rules, yet every name that the Black Tower spoke, Earth players had heard before.

Fu Wenduo, Lena Jopphos, Andre Ivan Petrov, Tang Mo ......

Each of these names, in the past half a year, had once been announced globally by the Black Tower, with only a very few names not being known by players around the world. And now, the Black Tower spoke their names again in the same mechanical tone, repeating them over and over again.

The sun sank into the earth, the moon rose, and the moonlight poured into that black tower. The black tower's calm to almost indifferent voice sounded faintly--

"You know Eve, find her, she's hope."
