Chapter 198: Customs officers~

"Ding Dong! New rules for The black tower version 4.5 -"

"Firstly, the 'Rush Six Mode' will be activated. The first three players/teams to clear the sixth floor of The black tower will receive a clue to the seventh floor."

"Secondly, as of June 10th at 6:00 pm, areas that have not cleared all five levels of The black tower will be forced to attack the tower. All players in that area (except those in play) will be put into the tower attack game. If no one in the area has cleared the fifth floor of The black tower after leaving the copy, the attack will still be mandatory."

"Thirdly, the interoperability mode is expected to open in version 5.0, so please feel free to figure it out."

These three rules were broadcast three times in a row by The black tower.

"Ding Dong! Three million nine hundred and sixty thousand players successfully loaded into the game ......"

"20,000 players successfully loaded into the game ......"

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

"Player data loading ......"

"Archived successfully at ......"

"Loaded successfully ......"

"'Grab Six Mode' has been updated ......"

"Dingdong! On June 7, 2018, The black tower version 4.5 goes live, welcome players to the game."

"Please ask players to work on attacking the tower!"

Shanghai , Nanjing Road.

A big, strong man looked at the black tower with dismay, scratched his head and turned his head: "Doctor, what does this mean? What does this mean, Doctor? This Sixth Rush mode means that we have to raid the sixth floor of The black tower in a hurry? We haven't even taken the fifth floor yet, why are we going to the sixth floor."

Beijing.

This Rob Six model is also different from what Tang Mo imagined.

"Surprisingly it's simply a case of raiding the sixth floor first?"

Beijing has a lot of powerhouses, and most people are on the fence about The black tower. Suddenly there is a six-goal mode, and it is clearly an urge for players to attack the tower. Tang Mo ponders for a moment and looks at Fu Wenduo: "The fifth level is not important, what really matters is the sixth level. The clue to the seventh level is more tempting than all the rare items."

The black tower 4.5 has not many new rules, only three, but they are very informative.

Mu Huixue smiled and said, "The black tower update is over, so I'll be off."

Tang Mo The four did not leave her behind.

The woman in black disappeared in three or two movements among the modern steel buildings and was soon out of sight.

Mu Huixue is not an enemy, nor can she be described as a friend. She is very strong, and it is unlikely that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo will be able to team up with her to get through the fifth level before they become familiar with her, which would make the game much more difficult. So it would be a good idea for her to leave at this point.

For a time, only the four members of the squad were left in the building.

Chen Shanshan looked grim: "The mandatory tower attack in three days is not so important. In this update, the six-goal mode and the 5.0 version of ...... Brother Tang, Mr. Fu's school, these two points are very important. This is the first time The black tower is teasing the next update."

Fu Wensheng wondered, "What is the interoperability model?"

Tang Mo : "Literally, it should be some kind of interchange. For example, players and The black tower BOSS, the underground people and monsters in The black tower BOSS, and the last possibility ...... is player-to-player communication." After a pause, he continued his analysis, "At the moment even players in the same city, for example, if we want to find the Chosen Organization, there is no telephone contact, we can only go to the eightieth centre and meet with them. Luo Fengcheng wants to send a message, he would also have to send Jackass a thousand miles to send Shanshan over. When Earth came online, the human way of communicating remotely was completely cut off."

In front of the two children, Tang Mo didn't hide the fact that he and Fu Wenduo have turkey eggs: "Not surprisingly, unless one has interconnected props like Fu Wenduo and I, there are over three million players worldwide and no one can communicate freely."

Chen Shanshan interjected, "There should be three million nine hundred and sixty thousand players at the moment, with another 20,000 players being returnees."

Fu Wensheng remembers that when The black tower 4.0 was updated half a month ago, there were more than 300,000 returnees. He was shocked, "How long has it been since then and they're down to 20,000?"

Chen Shanshan : "Most of the returnees should have been converted to full players. There are still some returnees that should be dead."

Tang Mo furrowed his brow and pondered over the contents of this update to The black tower.

"Rob Six Mode, Interoperability Mode ......"

"Interoperability mode ......"

Fu Wenduo's voice was low: "Up until now, players in the ten regions have never been able to communicate with each other."

Tang Mo looks up at him.

Fu Wenduo: "The rally copy is where players from every district can meet. In the tower attack game, you can meet all the players in the China zone. For example, if you're raiding the first floor of The black tower and you run into Whisper, you're in Shanghai and he's in Nanjing."

Tang Mo immediately understood what he meant: "Are you saying that after version 5.0, players from different zones can also enter the same game? China players could team up with European players to attack the tower?"

Fu Wenduo nodded gently and shook his head again, "Just a guess on my part."

The speculation, however, is perfectly reasonable.

But in any case, until The black tower 5.0 arrives, these are only speculations on their part.

With no time to lose, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo decided to get into the new version of The black tower as soon as it was released. He and Fu Wenduo look at each other and they nod in unison. They are currently located at the intersection of the Dongcheng District and the Chaoyang District, and in order to start the tower attack game, they must walk to The black tower, which is directly above the Forbidden City.

The four of them went downstairs quietly. Tang Mo's body was pressed against the wall as he carefully poked his head out to survey the surroundings, "No one."

Fu Wenduo lowered his head, his deep eyes gazing at his own brother, "Is it okay to go alone?"

Fu Wensheng nodded vigorously, "No problem, I can come over."

Fu Wenduo gave him a deep look, his voice calm: "Go on."

In the next instant, the short boy was seen scurrying off at great speed. He chose the shadows of the road each time, carefully avoiding any possible prying eyes. In no time he disappeared around the corner of the street, heading in the direction of Chaoyang District.

Fu Wensheng is going to the 80th Form.

It's not too far from the 80th Form, nor is it too close. Last night Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unanimously decided that Fu Wensheng would not take part in the tower attack and that Chen Shanshan would join them. Chen Shanshan is not very powerful and has only raided two levels of The black tower so far. In other words, she doesn't have much of a "presence" in The black tower, so adding her to the trio won't make it too much harder.

Apart from that, Chen Shanshan's brain may have enabled Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo to get through the game faster.

They only had three days.

Fu Wensheng had spent some time with the Chosen and it was best for him to hide there in Fu Wenduo's absence. Fu Xiaodi himself said that Ruan Wangshu was not so bad as to not take him in. And just now, Fu Wenduo said to him, "If we don't clear the fifth floor of The black tower in three days, you will immediately enter a safer copy of the game, without rushing to clear it, and wait for our news."

Yes, this is one of the bugs left in The black tower version 4.5.

For those who are playing, The black tower cannot be forced to attack the tower immediately, but only after they have cleared the game. With Fu Wensheng's current strength, it would be very dangerous for him to raid the fourth floor of The black tower. So if Fu Wenduo does not clear the fifth floor of The black tower after three days, Fu Xiaodi can just find an easy copy and go in first, stalling for as long as possible.

Fu Wensheng ran to a crossroads where he found a small, hidden shop to hide in. He looked around warily to make sure there was no danger before he whooshed out and soon arrived at the eightieth form.

As the child reached the door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and pulled a silver pistol from his pocket, aiming and firing without hesitation.

The female doctor in the white coat reacted extremely quickly to dodge the shot and came out from behind the door, shouting in displeasure, "Hey, hey, what are you doing, you bear of a child? I came out to pick you up on purpose, what are you doing, and you're actually hitting someone."

Fu Wensheng's tense body relaxes when he sees Li Miaomiao hiding behind the school door, but his face is not so pretty.

"...... You're picking me up?"

What happened, the news that he was coming to Chosen for refuge was an impromptu decision last night, no one had been told. And why was he picked up by Li Miaomiao ......

Li Miaomiao saw right through the kid's mind and shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "The head said, with your strength you definitely can't force the tower to attack, Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo will have to raid the fifth floor quickly. If the sky is falling, you'll have to hold the fort, so we Chosen won't have to fight to the death for the fifth level, just wait for you to pass. They had to find a place for you to settle down as they went to attack the tower. But the head didn't expect you to be the only one to come." Li Miaomiao glanced behind Fu Wensheng's back several times, but saw no one else. "No way, your brother was so relieved that you came alone without a problem?"

Fu Xiaodi said defiantly, "What's wrong with me being alone, nothing will happen at all!" He was particularly confident in his own strength.

Li Miaomiao gave a long, meaningful "oh" and then laughed. Fu Wensheng grumbled loudly in frustration and Li Miaomiao laughed even louder as the two walked together into the eightieth form.

On the other hand, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo have arrived around the Forbidden City.

An hour ago, The black tower had just been updated with a new version, and there were probably still players around. But they didn't think too much of it and headed straight ahead, to the bottom of The black tower.

After the game of Eve on the elevated road, almost all the senior players in Beijing knew Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. When they thought about it, they realised what these two men were trying to do by coming under The black tower at such a time. They were already wary of Tang Mo's strength, and now that they wanted to attack the tower, they were more than welcome to do so.

Tang Mo turns his head to Fu Wenduo, who nods at him.

Tang Mo took a deep breath, stepped forward and said in a calm voice, "Confirmed, entering the tower attack game."

At the same moment, Fu Wenduo and Chen Shanshan joined together and said, "Acknowledged, entering the tower attack game."

In a flash, the sound of cheerful music rang through the minds of all three at the same time. Accompanying this music is the crisp, childlike voice of The black tower -

"Ding Dong! The fifth level of The black tower (normal mode) is officially open. Multiplayer match game starts loading ......"

"Sandbox Generation ......"

"Data loading complete ......"

"Welcome to the River of Illusions!"

A blinding white light fills Tang Mo's eyes, and he squinted subconsciously. The white light grew fainter and fainter, and with it came the soft sound of running water. The sound of running water was very familiar, Tang Mo felt that he had heard it somewhere before, and often. When the white light dissipated, he reacted quickly and turned his head to look around. Before his head could turn, however, it suddenly froze.

With a bit of a heavy weight in his hand, Tang Mo moved slowly to lower his head and then: "......"

Noticing someone beside him, Tang Mo immediately looked at the other person, reflexively glancing down the moment he saw them, then again, "......"

Fu Wenduo : "......"

With expressionless faces, the two men pulled their trouser chains back up and walked out of the shabby bathroom together.

It was a long corridor. The corridor's floor was made of long, yellowed, damp wood pieced together one by one, and at the end of the corridor was the toilet they had just been in. Tang Mo looks at Fu Wenduo's outfit and sees that he is wearing a white uniform with blue trim. He lifted his arm again and found himself wearing the same clothes, unchanged.

" Where is Shanshan?"

Seemingly very used to wearing this military-like uniform, Fu Wenduo straightened his cuffs and said, "Just now we came out of the gents. I listened and there was no one in the women's toilet, Shanshan wasn't in there."

Tang Mo : "What's going on with this dress."

At the end of the sentence, The black tower's prompt sounded appropriately -

"Dingdong! Players Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo have entered the customs department of the Kingdom of the Underlanders and have temporarily replaced customs officers Mr A and Mr B as staff of the department."

"A friendly reminder that players Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo are very good at disguising themselves. To everyone else, they are Mr. A and Mr. B. Only in their own eyes can they see their true colours. Only in their own eyes can they see their true colours."

It turns out that at the moment of entering the game, he and Fu Wenduo had replaced the two underground people in the so-called "customs department" at the same time. So whatever these two underground people were doing at the time, they were doing.

...... The two men were on the toilet at the time.

Realising this, Tang Mo's face darkened a little.

Coughing softly, Tang Mo said, "Let's find Shanshan first."

The two men walk out along the corridor.

Halfway down the hall, a sharp footstep comes around the corner. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo continue walking calmly, as if they were really employees of the customs department. Soon, the owner of the footsteps appears.

A dwarf in a white with blue trim uniform rushed up on huge feet like a cannonball.

"Damn it, what are you two guys doing, slacking off! There's another batch of monsters coming through customs, what the hell are you doing and why don't you get your asses over here and get to work!"

As he spoke, the dwarf grabbed Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo's arms with both hands and dragged them forward. Tang Mo was surprised to find that the dwarf was so strong that even he could not break free from his shackles.

Fortunately, the other side was allowed to go.

Tang Mo with a wink: what is the customs department of the Kingdom of the Underlanders? Have you ever heard of the River of Illusion?

Never heard of it. Fu Wenduo looks calm, and if you ignore the fact that he is being dragged along by a dwarf at the moment, he looks as leisurely as if he were taking three steps.

Tang Mo thought about it: customs, the underground people and The black tower monster have to go through customs, where can they go after that ...... river of fantasy ......

Suddenly, a name flashed through Tang Mo's mind. He looked at Fu Wenduo in dismay and realised that Fu Wenduo had thought of that place too.

It was at this point that the three left the corridor.

A wet breeze greeted them and a large pink river came into view. What they were now in was actually an old wooden building located right in the middle of the river, with water on all sides. And this water was the very same pink river that lies at the border between the Kingdom of the Underlanders and the Monster World!

The gnome sniffed the wind and smacked his lips insatiably, "Ah, it's all the smell of meat. It's a beautiful day and the river is so blue."

Tang Mo captures the key word: "blue?"

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, the gnome slowed his pace and gave him an odd look, "My dear Mr. B, is the river of illusion not blue in your eyes? Let's see, is it the orange colour of the best banana wine, or is it a dirty black like your hair? The colour of the River of Illusions is different in everyone's eyes; it will be whatever colour you think it is in your heart."

Tang Mo froze, then brushed his head to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo : "......"

Six months ago, Tang Mo was forced by The black tower to raid the first level of The black tower, and before he entered the game he contacted Fu Wenduo and asked him to help him tell him what he had encountered on the first level. At that time, Fu Wenduo told him personally in a cold voice -

'The dividing line between humans and monsters is clear, with a pink river in the middle of their world.'

The Pink River ......

Pink River.

If he was preoccupied and misled by Fu Wenduo, he subconsciously thought the river was pink. Then Fu Wenduo saw pink ......

Fu Wenduo lowered his voice and explained, "The boatman in charge of the ferry at the time said that it was a pink river." That's why he saw the pink river.

Tang Mo : "...... hmmm."

Fu Wenduo looked at him.

Tang Mo looks up at him.

Holding it in for a moment, he couldn't help but curl his lip.

Fu Wenduo : "......"

"Well, what are you still doing, why don't you get to work!"

In the middle of the swiftly flowing river, a rickety, dilapidated wooden hut stands untouched by its waters. Extending from this hut to either side, a long wooden drawbridge stretches towards the Kingdom of the Underlanders and another towards the Monster World.

On the wooden drawbridge on that side of the Underlander Kingdom, a short-haired girl walked up the drawbridge, clutching a giant lollipop, her face expressionless. Around her stood mostly an assortment of The black tower monsters, but they did not find the human girl strange, for in their eyes they saw not a human, but their companion.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Don Grea perform and I've missed him so much. Is it true that the circus has gone bankrupt and can't perform anymore?" A rabbit-headed, dress-wearing The black tower monster's eyes reddened with distress and she gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Her companion, a skinny hamster, sat on her shoulder and said, "I miss His Highness Grea too, he was the most handsome gentleman in the Kingdom of the Underlanders."

Chen Shanshan follows the general flow, walking in silence. She appears to be looking down at the ground, but in fact her ears are perked up, gathering information about her surroundings.

It's all too sudden for her now. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are nowhere to be found, the mission is nowhere to be seen, and she's suddenly thrown into this place, into a pile of monsters. If it were Fu Wensheng, she would have been so scared that she would have turned pale and even shown her face.

Chen Shanshan calmly follows the army of monsters to the middle of the suspension bridge.

Chen Shanshan did not notice two werewolf-like creatures approaching the drawbridge at the end of the army of monsters.

"Hahahaha, David you're so funny like that. You've got such ugly ears and you stink like a beast!"

The brown-haired man said angrily, " Pete, you shut up! You're a wolf now too!"

The two taunted each other about their teammates, and if they weren't in the middle of an army of monsters, it seemed they could have just struck. The moment their feet stepped onto the drawbridge, an icy child's voice suddenly rang out in the minds of the five men.

"Dingdong! Side quest posted: find the stolen goods being smuggled by the monster/protect the stolen goods you are trying to smuggle."

"Ever since the Kingdom of the Underlanders set up customs on the River of Illusion, the taxes paid by the Underlanders and The black tower monsters travelling between the two lands every day have made the King fat again. It's a great fortune! The little monster likes to go to the Underlander Kingdom to buy Santa's lollipops, the big monster thinks more about ...... making money!"

" The black tower monster slogan: We don't pay taxes, we don't pay taxes, we don't pay taxes!"

"Say the important words three times."

The author has something to say.
