Chapter 23 - 23: Ranking Tower
Chapter 23:?Ranking Tower
Strengthening his resolve, Wang Feng's father said, "Okay, you guys go and rest, and I'll handle everything."
Both Wang Feng and his mother listened to him and went to their rooms.
Wang Feng's father remained standing, determined to investigate everything related to this.
Butler's Point of View:
*Knock*
The butler, currently reviewing documents with Zhu Zhen, heard a knock and said, "Come in."
"Sir, a significant commotion has occurred at the goblin dungeon," the person who entered the office reported.
"What!" the butler and Zhu Zhen exclaimed simultaneously, quickly opening the news channel on their handwatches.
Five minutes later...
After seeing the news related to the Devil's Cult and the Ice Guild leader's daughter, the butler was utterly dumbfounded.
He anxiously dialed a number, and the call connected.
"Young Master, where are you?" the butler asked urgently.
"What happened, Uncle? I'm in my room," came a voice on the other end.
The butler's expression relaxed, and he said in an authoritative tone, "Young Master, I sense that something significant is about to happen, and you are not allowed to leave the villa."
"Eh! Why, Uncle?" a confused voice replied.
"Young Master, anything could happen, and I'm also in a bind. Please understand," the butler sighed helplessly.
"Okay, Uncle, don't worry about me. I have an S-rank player with me right now," the voice responded.
"Master, I still can't let you go outside in this chaotic area," the butler firmly stated.
"Alright, Uncle, I won't go," a resigned voice conceded.
"Good," the butler said, ending the call.
Zhu Zhen, who had been observing all of this, was quite surprised and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop the Young Master from leaving the villa?"
"You don't understand the situation in Province Xth right now," he said with frustration.
"What don't I understand?" she inquired, still puzzled.
"You just have to understand that a war is brewing beneath the surface of Province Xth. In extreme cases, even S-ranks can get killed," he explained, sighing.
"Oh! It could indeed be dangerous, then," she agreed.
Sam's Point of View:
After talking to his uncle, Sam felt extremely grateful for the concern, even though he wasn't allowed to leave the villa. He murmured to himself, "It's good to be cared for."
"Zhou Wen!" he called out, and his loyal servant came before him.
"Master, what happened?" Zhou Wen asked promptly.
*Cough* *Cough*
"Uncle, I'm going to the tower," Sam said.
"But Master..." Zhou Wen began to protest.
Sam interrupted him, speaking firmly, "You don't have to treat me like that. Just call me Young Master and consider yourself a part of this family."
"Okay, Young Master," Zhou Wen responded with a smile.
"I'm going to the tower now, and I will leave a duplicate of myself that no one will suspect," Sam declared calmly.
"Alright, Master, as long as you're safe," Zhou Wen replied, equally composed.
"Neo, teleport all the skeletons here," Sam commanded.
"Okay," Neo replied.
All the skeletons appeared, and Sam instructed one E-rank skeleton, "Change your skeleton form into a human form and make yourself identical to me."
"Okay," the E-rank skeleton replied.
"Your only task is not to get caught," Sam instructed.
"Okay, Master," the skeleton agreed.
"Let's check the stat points before entering the tower," Sam thought and murmured, "World System."

Sam was satisfied with his status and said, "Neo, let's teleport me and all the skeletons, except one, to the tower."
"Okay," Neo replied.
They were instantly transported to the tower's first floor, and a series of prompts appeared before Sam's eyes.
[Tower System]
[Welcome to the Ranking Tower's first floor, newcomers]
[Choose difficulty type: 1st star, 2nd star, 3rd star, 4th star, and 5th star]
Although Sam understood the meanings of these prompts, he decided to read the descriptions for each difficulty type.
1st star: 10 F+ monsters
2nd star: 50 F+ monsters
3rd star: 100 F+ monsters
4th star: 150 F+ monsters

Without much hesitation, he selected the 1st star difficulty and was instantly teleported to a random location.
