Chapter 864 - 864 863 Rewards

Chapter 864: Chapter 863 Rewards Chapter 864: Chapter 863 Rewards Because his worldview had expanded to an incredible extent.

Han Dong too stood frozen in place for a long time, his brain working at full capacity, accepting a whole new world system and pondering some profound questions.

“Speaking of which, with Fate fully initiated by the Black Tower and completely open to the ‘outer’ parallel universes, providing different life forms the opportunity to ‘grow’… what is the ultimate purpose?”

Why reject the Demons from my world?

What standards must a life form meet to be recognized as a ‘participant’ and thus enter the World of Fate?”

More and more questions emerged from his mind as he delved deeper into his thoughts.

In the end, Han Dong chose to give up thinking.

Not to mention whether continued thinking was meaningful, this was Han Dong’s first visit to the Black Tower, and it was unclear whether there was a ‘time limit’ to his stay.

The most pressing task was to understand the basic rules of the Black Tower.

Those profound matters could be thought over later.

…

As Han Dong’s thoughts returned to calm, the familiar voice of the System sounded:

“Since this is your first visit to the Black Tower, I will act as your ‘guide’ to assist you in acquiring basic knowledge about the Black Tower.

You needn’t worry about your teammates; the flow of time in the world of the Black Tower is only one ten-thousandth of that in other minor worlds. Even if you stay here for a day, it will be less than ten seconds for your teammates.”

With the explanation about the flow of time, Han Dong felt reassured.

Moreover, according to the tone of this guide, it seemed that Han Dong could stay for a day.

If he really had that much time, coupled with the System guide’s instructions, it would be enough for Han Dong to earnestly explore this gateway to a ‘new world.’

“The area you are currently in is the ‘Common Area’ of the base level of the Black Tower.

Participants who have obtained the qualification to enter the Black Tower can choose to go to the Black Tower each time they enter or exit Fate Space.”

Let me first explain the rules of the common area:

1. Do not maliciously attack others nor infringe upon the rights of others by any means.

2. Non-Fate powers will be blocked by the Black Tower; use your inherent Fate powers appropriately, at the right time, and in the right circumstances.

3. When in the Black Square, you may apply to the system for a ‘temporary stall,’ and the Black Tower System will assist you in selling related items (restricted to Fate items).

You must strictly adhere to the order of the common area, violators will be arrested and detained directly by the employees, deprived of a large number of Fate points, or even stripped of your related privileges.”

“Okay.”

Han Dong brightened up; such rules would protect him well.

After all, according to what “The Timekeeper” had said in the Holy City, Han Dong was considered ‘early’ in obtaining access to the Black Tower… Han Dong’s ‘individual level’ was, compared to the creatures from different worlds in the square, at the bottom.

Without such rules for protection,

a participant like Han Dong, at the bottom level and possessing two epic treasures, would definitely become a target of many.

“First, please follow my guidance to the ‘Inspector Office’.

Because you successfully killed the Black Tower escapee, Pennywise, in Other Derry Town, you will receive a special reward from the Black Tower.”

“Okay…can I ask, how long can I stay here?”

“Since this is your first visit to the Black Tower and you need to go to the ‘Inspector Office’ to receive your reward, you will be granted extra detention time, totaling 36 hours inside the Black Tower.”

“Thank you.”

Han Dong smiled, happy that the length of time was sufficient for him to uncover some things.

Following the guidance of the guide, along a specific route, he reached the edge of the Black Square… A black building resembling a snail shell stood before him, the ‘Inspector Office (Square Division)’

The employees inside all wore Swirl Masks.

Before Han Dong could even speak, the employees had already reviewed his ‘Fate history’… they even directly called out his previous life’s name.

“Han Dong, Grade One Participant.

In Fate Era 301 year, participated in his first trial of ‘True Fate.’

World Number M-9310, corresponding area – [Other Derry Town].

During the trial, he acquired a 10% ownership of Other Derry Town and completely killed the Black Tower escapee, the Uncontrolled One – Pennywise.

As displayed by the Black Tower archives.

The “Uncontrolled One” Pennywise originated from the high-ranking Fate activity group, the “Dark Circus”, due to his astonishing disguise abilities and complete disconnection from the circus.

Initially, when efforts to capture him were made, his identity was not fully verified, resulting in a lower-than-actual assessment rating.

He was only contained in the common prison on the lower levels of the Black Tower, which, due to dimensional disturbances, led to a containment failure.

Thank you for your assistance in eliminating the Black Tower fugitive.

The reward list has been made available, and the relevant rewards will be directly issued by the System.”

“This efficiency…”

Han Dong had just stepped into the “Inspector Office” when the staff had already handed him the reward list.

The rewards are as follows:

1. Fate Points reward: 200 (For killing a Class II fugitive (upgraded from Class I))

2. Access to the Black Tower World (now effective)

3. Intern Employee Card

Han Dong had just been thinking that he was short on Fate Points due to his previous venture with Other Resident (NO.99) – Doctor West to the real world and the training of Miss Chen Li, which had exhausted all his points.

Now with two hundred points at hand, he might be able to find some useful items in the Black Square.

However, before using the points, Han Dong had a question.

“Excuse me, what is an Intern Employee Card?” Han Dong had only received the reward list and had seen no such card.

The Black Tower System immediately provided an answer for Han Dong:

“A virtual credential, now Soul Bound to you.

The ‘Intern Employee Card’ is a special recruitment measure by the Black Tower World for external participants.

Without prior knowledge of ‘Black Tower’ and ‘Uncontrolled Ones’, the participant who kills an uncontrolled individual or a Black Tower fugitive will receive the award of the Intern Employee Card.

The holder of the card can then access the Black Tower’s supervisory archive to view information on Uncontrolled Ones (at the lowest security level).

In subsequent destiny events that you carry out, you may enter the world where the Uncontrolled one is hiding.

Capturing an Uncontrolled One will earn a 100% Black Tower reward.

Killing an Uncontrolled One will only yield 30% of the Black Tower reward.

The Black Tower World will assess the performance of the intern employees during specific periods.

Those who fail the assessment will have their intern card revoked,

those who meet the standards may continue to hold the intern card,

and those who meet the standards for three consecutive times and excel in evaluations will become a ‘Formal Employee’.”

Another series of settings were loaded into Han Dong’s brain.

“Accessing the Black Tower’s supervisory archives to view low-level Uncontrolled One information… essentially means hiring us to help capture people.

Of course, it’s not free labor; considering the 30% reward from killing Pennywise, it’s quite fair… and additionally, once becoming a ‘Formal Employee’, one definitely gets closer to the core of the Black Tower World.

“Timekeeper” must be a Formal Employee.

But, considering the current situation of “Timekeeper”… it’s clear that a significant price has been paid.

I’ll think about these matters in the future.”

Han Dong immediately shifted his thoughts to more pressing matters and inquired the Black Tower System:

“Excuse me, can I inquire here about the Other Derry Town related to me and a destiny servant?”

“Please follow my guidance to the ‘Connection Room’.

I can initially detect that both factors related to you have undergone significant changes.”

“Hmm?”

Han Dong’s first thought was the successful promotion of Other Derry Town and Miss Chen Li’s growth… but he also had some concerns.

The world of “Yin Yang Road” that Chen Li visited is filled with matters of ‘Strange Power disorder’.”
