Black Tower 4.5 Update~

Mu Huixue pours all the mineral water in the plastic bottle on her wound, her arm recovers, the wound heals completely, and she returns the bottle to Fu Wenduo.

The city of Beijing is silent, the Black Tower no longer makes a sound, and as the sun sets, the giant black tower is reflected in the evening sun.

Mu Huixue: "That was a good fight, I'm a little hungry. Are you guys hungry?"

Tang Mo looked at her and shook her head, "It's okay."

Mu Huixue smiled and waved her hand, "I'm hungry, then I'll go out and find something to eat first."

As the words fell, the woman in black propped her right hand on a desk, lightly jumped a few times, and left the building. Mu Huixue was deliberately looking for an opportunity to leave, the Black Tower had suddenly released a new version of the update tips, and before that Bai Ruoyao had told an extremely important secret. She was not a member of Tang Mo's team, so it was inconvenient for her to stay here and listen to their internal discussions.

Tang Mo got a great deal of information today.

Black Tower version 4.5, information about the Black Tower and powers as stated by Bai Ruoyao.

Tang Mo looks to Fu Wenduo: "I don't think Bai Ruoyao is lying."

Fu Wenduo : "I also think that he is telling the truth."

If Bai Ruoyao's words are true, then Fu Wenduo's notes on his powers, the words that were erased by the Black Tower are--

"The last player with this ability cleared the seventh floor of the Black Tower." Tang Mo said word for word. After pondering for a while, Tang Mo said, "Last year, Luo Fengcheng and I had a discussion about what the supernormal ability was all about, and whether it was bestowed upon the player by the Black Tower, or whether it was possessed by humans themselves, and that the Black Tower only acted as a catalyst to catalyze it out of the player's body."

Chen Shanshan nodded, "Teacher did talk to me about this. The way I see it and the way my teacher sees it is that the Black Pagoda is the catalyst, and that the supernatural abilities belong to the humans themselves."

Tang Mo: "I think so too. But if it's true, as Bai Ruoyao said, that you're not the only one who has the same ability, and that at some unfathomable point in time, there were also players who had it ......, then does this ability really still belong to human beings themselves?"

Chen Shanshan fell silent, "When the Atark Organization gathered information in Shanghai, they collected information on about three thousand players. None of them have the exact same psychic ability, there are occasional similarities, and the similarities aren't that great."

Speaking of which, Fu Wen Voice also had a say, "Team Xiao has done a similar survey!"

Xiao Jitong did the same thing?

The crowd looked at Fu Wen Sheng, and Fu Xiaodi said honestly, "Around the beginning of the year, Team Xiao had the Nanjing group record as much information as possible about the psychic abilities of every player in Nanjing. The power of our Nanjing group in Nanjing at that time, Big Brother and Brother Tang you know, almost all players would come to us to buy game clues and exchange props. Brother Xiao used the anonymous method to collect over 10,000 alien abilities, none of which were the same."

Chen Shanshan concludes, "This sample size is sufficient to basically determine that everyone's psychic abilities are different."

"So ...... what exactly is the thing that determines psychic ability?"

Fu Wenduo's low voice rang out, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Nice, it's what it is that determines which powers the player has.

Until Bai Ruoyao stated the information that "the player has powers that have been possessed by others before", Tang Mo was not the least bit skeptical about it. No two people in the world are identical, so it's understandable that they have different powers. But if the powers are consistent, what is the reason for the consistency?

Fingers tapped lightly on the desktop, and after a few seconds, Tang Mo brushed his eyes open and snapped, "Genetic recombination?"

Fu Wenduo looked at him, "Huh?"

This is the name of Fu Wenduo's psychic ability.

Chen Shanshan seized the keyword and said in surprise, "You mean genes?!" The little girl's brain was running at an extremely fast speed, and like pouring beans, she muttered a long string of words to herself, "If it's genes, it does explain it. Everyone's genes are different, so genes determine psychic abilities, and psychic abilities are very different. But if genes can, maybe DNA can too? Then make the assumption that alien abilities are determined by genes, or even more subtle DNA. Then on that basis ...... the alien abilities are exactly the same, which means that the DNA of the two people is exactly the same ......"

The voice came to an abrupt halt as Chen Shanshan said in an odd tone, "How can there be two people with exactly the same DNA. Even if it's a clone, there's still the possibility of variation and mutation."

"Does it really not exist?"

Chen Shanshan turned his head to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: "Humans have about 3.1 billion DNA base pairs, and no matter what, there must be a fixed order, and this fixed order forms a certain person. With only seven billion people on Earth, the probability of producing two identical individuals is so low that it is almost impossible to realize on Earth. But if you extend that time frame to 13.82 billion years, the range extends to the entire universe ...... Murphy's Law?"

Chen Shanshan blanched, "Murphy's Law, whenever something bad has a chance of happening, even if the chance is small, it's bound to happen."

Tang Mo: "From the birth of the universe to the present day, looking at the entire universe ......" The voice slowly stopped, Tang Mo's fingers tightened, and said the words: "Perhaps there really exists in the world of the other me. Then ...... what exactly is the Black Tower?"

What exactly is the Black Tower?

No one said another word in the silent room.

There was an answer that stood out in Tang Mo's mind, the one that made the most sense, but if that was the case, what would they face when they cleared the seventh floor of the Black Tower? Would it be true freedom, or another form of slavery?

Behind these thousands of black towers, who really stands.

Closing her eyes and breathing softly, Tang Mo looked to Fu Wenduo: "Hungry?"

Just now, when Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan were using their Super Intelligent Thinking Abilities to make deductive guesses, Fu Wenduo had been standing by the side, occasionally saying a few words. At this moment, Tang Mo turned his head to look at him, and he quietly looked at Tang Mo. He curled his lips and said to the two little children, "Find a safe place to hide, we'll go look for supplies."

Fu Wen Sheng listened very much to his elder brother's words and nodded his head in a hurry.

Chen Shanshan, on the other hand, kept her head down, her bangs falling down so that it was difficult to see her expression.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo left the building together to look for supplies. Chen Shanshan stayed inside for a while, and half an hour later she went out to use the restroom. Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, she was suddenly startled to see a tall, thin back.

The huge moon hung high in the sky, shining through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the stairwell, illuminating the shadows of the stair railing in long, slanting lines that fell to the ground. A woman in black with a high ponytail sat on the corner of the stair railing, one leg propped up on the ground, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Perhaps because the glass was so brightly polished, the moon seemed to be unobstructed, spilling over her completely.

Chen Shanshan hid his surprise behind a calm expression, intending to bypass the other party to go to the restroom. Before taking two steps, Mu Huixue smiled and said, "Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo went out to look for supplies?"

Earth has been online for more than six months, and players are demanding less and less food and water, and their bodies are metabolizing slowly. But it is not that there is no demand for food and water.

Chen Shanshan did not hide, "Yes." After a pause, she asked, "What are you doing?"

The short-haired girl didn't expect to hear an answer, yet the next moment Mu Huixue answered her, "Sun and moon."

Chen Shanshan froze, "?"

...... tanning the moon?

Mu Huixue : "The earth of the returnees has no moon, only daytime. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The moment it sets, it immediately rises again from the east. For we are not entitled to rest. Perhaps to it," Mu Huixue pointed to the giant black tower illuminated by moonlight, "we Returners are just tools to play the game. Do you know that, Ant?"

Chen Shanshan didn't understand her intention in asking this, and she replied, "I know."

Mu Huixue smiled, stretched, and stood up from the armrest, "We are worker ants. The life of a returnee is only about playing games and attacking towers, there is no value in it. More than six billion people, in the end, there are only three hundred and fifty thousand left ah ......"

The woman in black leaned over and stroked the little girl's hair, grinning, revealing her white teeth, "Most of the returnees are strong and healthy young men, men mostly. The last time I saw a little kid as small as you was three months ago. Well ...... are you malnourished? It looks like you're only twelve, about the same as that little boy."

Chen Shanshan's voice was low: "My family is not very well off." And also picky eaters, so it's true that they might be a bit malnourished.

Chen Shanshan didn't say the latter part.

Mu Huixue didn't say anything else.

Chen Shanshan walked around her to go to the restroom, and she looked back to see the woman lying on the stair railing again, her hands behind her head, peacefully basking in the moon.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were both a little surprised to see Mu Huixue when they returned with the supplies.

They thought Mu Huixue was long gone.

Mu Huixue smiled slightly, "I don't know my way around Beijing, and I'm updating the new version tomorrow, so I don't have anywhere to go anyway. It's dark now, so I'll leave tomorrow when the new version is updated."

Mu Huixue was definitely not their teammate, but the woman didn't look like much of a threat. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo acquiesced to her staying in the building. Although Mu Huixue was strong, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo weren't really unable to defeat her. If she really dares to do anything, Tang Mo won't hesitate to use his "A Very Fast Man" ability and work with Fu Wenduo to finish her off.

In the evening, Chen Shanshan recorded the names of those who had been notified by the Black Tower in his little notebook.

Tang Mo reads the name: "Europe 1, official player, Lena Choppers."

The player has an excellent memory after Earth Online. Fu Wenduo said, "She was the first player in Europe to clear the first floor of the Black Tower."

Tang Mo nodded, "I remember that too."

Fu Wenduo : "There are ten zones around the world, and currently, the European zone has been exempted from the mandatory tower attack after three days because she has cleared the fifth floor of the Black Tower. In addition to the European zone, the remaining nine zones, if no one passes the fifth floor of the Black Tower within three days, it will be mandatory for all members to attack the tower."

Tang Mo frowned, "Three days is a bit tight."

Because of the Returner incident, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo have not had time to worry about attacking the tower after the Black Tower 4.0 update and the fusion of the two worlds. With Eve's game and Santa Claus's fun shopping street, they had a lot of things to worry about. If they rushed to attack the tower now, they were not prepared enough. The same goes for the other senior players. Lena Jopphos is the exception.

Their best option would be for the Black Tower to force the opening of the tower attack three days later, but then the entire Chinese players would be pulled into the tower attack game.

Most players progress far too fast to keep up with the Black Tower, and suddenly attacking the tower is dangerous. Not to mention other people, Fu Wen Sheng was in danger. He was going to raid the fourth floor of the Black Tower, and with the kids' current strength, it would be easy for accidents to happen. Moreover, the mandatory tower attack was not allowed to form a team, no one could guarantee that they would attack the tower alone, or that they would encounter unfamiliar teammates.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Mo decided, "Wait for the Black Tower 4.5 update and we'll attack the tower."

The crowd rested for the night.

In the early hours of the next morning, when the sky was bright, at 5:58 a.m., Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other.

When they ran to the window, they found Mu Huixue waiting there as well.

Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Sheng ran over at the last minute. No one spoke, the five of them looked up together, looking at the lofty tower in the distance.

Meanwhile, Suzhou, Guanqian Street.

A fiery red convertible sports car arrogantly rampaged down the pedestrian street, knocking over all the stalls placed in front of the stores. The wheels of the car scratched out an unpleasant braking sound on the ground, and a ten-meter-long black tire trail appeared on the ground. The car clattered and drifted, stopping horizontally right below the black tower.

If Tang Mo were here, he might recognize the convertible sports car, which was put on display in the lobby of the first floor of a large shopping mall in Suzhou during the anniversary celebration last year, and is worth more than three million dollars.

And at that moment, the two young foreigners sitting in the car smiled broadly and took off their own sunglasses, looking up at the black tower.

Seeming to detect a gaze from the shadows, one of the brown-haired foreigners glanced in that direction.

The blonde man sitting in the driver's seat threw his sunglasses of some luxury brand to the floor: "Hey David, what are those little ants doing looking at them. All they dare to do is hide in a dark corner and look enviously at you and I. Do they dare to come out? No, I'm sure they don't even have the guts to take another look."

David disgruntled, "Pitt, I told you before, why let these little buggers live, just kill them all, that's what we do in that world anyway."

Pitt raised his eyebrows, "Do you want the whole of Suzhou to be just the two of us? I don't want it if you do, I'm not gay, I don't want to have a two-person world with you."

David skimmed his mouth in disgust, and he was about to voice a retort when the black tower suddenly flashed with colorful light.

Pitt : "Well, a new version is coming."

The same is happening all over the world.

It was just that in most places, the players who ran to observe the Black Tower update were hiding in the shadows, and very few of them were as rampant and arrogant as these two foreigners in Suzhou.

This time before the update, the black tower still flashed five white points of light from top to bottom.

The first point of light flashed so fast that not even Fu Wenduo could see it, and the second point of light flashed over three hundred thousand times in total. The third point of light flashed fifty thousand times, and the fourth point of light flashed more than a hundred times.

And at the end, the fifth point of light flickered only once.

This represents the current number of people who have cleared each level of the tower.

When all five points of light had flashed, a clear child's voice rang out, and said, in a voice that had no rise or fall -

"Dingdong! June 7, 2018 at 6:00 pm, Black Tower version 4.5 is officially live!"
