Fifteen minutes later, Liu Mu came in a hurry and was quite attentive.
Bai Wu took the thin booklet from his hand and read the talent sequence at a glance.
"You seem to lack some common sense about the tower?"
Recalling what the head of the interrogation group of Team 7 said before, Liu Mu said.
"I have lost my memory."
"Based on the impression you gave me before, you could have found a better reason to lie to me."
"So you'd better believe it. The people who arrested me most likely violently erased my memory for the sake of convenience during the aftermath."
Before, he asked Yun Shu and Xue Ci, the fourth floor has many ways to erase memory. The most common one is to purify a plant called An Ai.
As he spoke, his eyes looked at the sequence within one hundred.
Liu Mu also noticed that Bai Wu had read the first three pages and smiled:
"In the entire lower three layers, the one with the highest sequence is 59, Sequence 256: Extreme Shadow. Those further ahead have not appeared for a very long time."
"What about the first 100? Have they ever appeared in history?" Bai Wu asked casually.
The sequence is different from the companion power. The companion power can be obtained as soon as you leave the tower, but only a very small number of people can awaken the sequence.
According to current statistics, the vast majority of awakened people, no matter how long they have been outside the tower, are ranked after seven hundred.
The first 100... In Liu Mu's eyes, that was the realm of God. But it really existed in history, and this period of history is not far away.
"There is one, but it cannot be verified. It is no different from folk legend."
"Tell me."
"Take a look at Talent Sequence 75: Absolute Dissolution. More than 20 years ago, it was said that a miner at the bottom awakened this sequence. This is much more exaggerated than winning the lottery. This is the equivalent of a true overnight success."
"It seems that person had a bad ending." Bai Wu directly stated the conclusion.
Liu Mu opened his mouth and suddenly felt that it was boring to talk to this person.
But he nodded:
"He disappeared. He just disappeared. The matter was quickly suppressed. After so many years, there is no way to investigate. The highest commander of the High Tower Guard Corps at the time did not actively investigate the case, but tried his best to erase all information about this person."
"That means they were taken away by an organization of a higher level than the Zhenyu Corps."
"Yes, but I don't know where he went. It's very likely to be the fifth floor, the ruler level. Or... the sixth floor."
Bai Wu already knew that the tower currently only had six floors.
"By the way, will this world force people to check their talent sequence? Will it register everyone's talent sequence information?"
"That won't happen. Talent sequences are private to each individual. Just like within the Survey Corps, many people's sequences are hidden and never revealed."
Bai Wu nodded, this was good news.
That is to say, after experiencing that incident, there may still be people within the one hundred sequence, but these people have learned their lesson and they don’t know what they will face when they go to the fifth level.
So maybe it's true that someone is hiding his talent. So I have to be careful.
Bai Wu's eyes swept across the second line of the first page.
Talent sequence 24: Eye of Prell.
Able to see notes and explanations of the hidden aspects of one's personality in the area where one's sight is focused. Advanced: Unknown.
The later the number is, the more detailed the explanation is. By the first fifty, there is basically only a simple explanation.
But Bai Wu was sure that this was his ability, but this message led to more questions.
"Why does this body have such a high sequence? Has it been outside the tower long ago?"
"No, my companion force is so weak, which means that this body is indeed going outside the tower for the first time, but it can awaken such an advanced sequence. Is this a beaver? This is not a beaver."
"I can't find any clues to this problem for now. At least I have to find out the past of this body before I can use the process of elimination..."
Bai Wu's intuition told him that the origin of the Eye of Prell must be related to some extremely important information, but as he had just arrived in the Novice Village, he was not yet qualified to investigate it.
"The style of the remarks matches the hidden side of my personality? Is my hidden side so mean?"
Thinking of those naughty comments, Bai Wu denied it three times in his heart, I didn’t do it, don’t talk nonsense.
Liu Mu said:
"This should be your first time out of the tower, so don't even think about talent sequences for now."
"Hmm. I have a question. Talent sequence, a person can only have one?"
"You can only awaken one type, but according to what was passed down on the sixth floor, you can also obtain additional sequences by killing some extremely powerful evil creatures. However, even if this kind of evil creature really exists, it is best to pray that you don't encounter it."
Bai Wu understood. It was reasonable to kill and drop it. It was passed down from the sixth floor...
In other words, Wujiu and Liu Mu are considered to be the masters in the tower.
But there are also some hidden masters who have rare and advanced sequences, or even multiple sequences...
The Eye of Prell is not suitable for combat. Although it is mentioned to be advanced, it seems that the advanced ability is not suitable for combat.
I have to find a way to get out of the tower and get some other talents.
“Ahem.”
Liu Mu suddenly coughed and prepared to talk about business.
Bai Wu understood what he meant in an instant:
"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, you're a good person. I choose Team 7."
Before Liu Mu could even open his mouth, he was rejected.
"Why?"
"During the previous three hours of interrogation, I learned that Team 7, among the sixteen teams, leaves the tower most frequently."
“Isn’t this a reason to quit?”
Even if they were from the investigation corps outside the tower, who wouldn't want to stay inside the tower? Bai Wu's words sounded like he really wanted to leave the tower.
"If you want to leave the tower, I will transfer you to the vanguard group of my 13th team. If you don't want to leave the tower, go to the interrogation group. You can make any request."
After a conversation with Bai Wu, Liu Mu was sure that Bai Wu was a good candidate.
Bai Wu shook his head:
"You should still be single, right?"
"I'm the captain of Squad 13... Well, I am."
"Remember, you must choose someone you have a pre-existing crush on. If you have a crush on someone, don't play away from home. You will lose because you act later. I have a preconceived impression and I have a better impression of Team 7. Besides, the number thirteen is unlucky."
“Fuck!”
Liu Mu left angrily.
About two minutes after Liu Mu left, Yun Shu, Xue Ci, the head of the interrogation team, and Wujiu, the captain of the Seventh Squad of the Investigation Corps, entered the interrogation room.
Bai Wu looked at Wujiu.
When this man is calm, he looks lazy, serious, with slightly drooping eyelids and eyes like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed.
Based on his experience from his previous life, Bai Wu instinctively felt that people with this style of painting were most likely top masters.
The remarks were quickly explained.
You know, like many Japanese RPG games, you will often encounter a powerful late-stage NPC in the novice village, and this dwarf is probably positioned in this way. However, he hides a secret that the sixth floor is also interested in.
"My name is Gu Qingyu. You can call me Captain Gu."
"Okay five-nine."
"… "
Wujiu glanced at Yunshu and Xue Ci behind him with a grim face.
The two of them turned their heads away at this time, pretending to look around at the scenery.
Fortunately, Wujiu himself didn't really care about the nickname since he had been called that many times:
"I would like to invite you to join the Survey Corps. Through the fingerprint query, you don't have an identity, but this is not surprising. There are indeed some people in the lower class who are like this. They don't have a citizen ID or an identity. After you join the Survey Corps, I can get you one."
"I have a request."
Wujiu nodded. "If you don't want to go outside the tower, you can also go to the interrogation team. They have accumulated a lot of cases recently."
"I want to get out of the tower tomorrow."
Xue Ci Yunshu was stunned, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
Wujiu frowned and looked at the white fog.
"We have tested your Companion Power. Because you are in the blue zone, you have grown to the third stage of the first stage in less than two hours. However, even in the face of a slightly distorted evil..."
"If you mean to remind me that it's dangerous outside the tower and I can't go out yet, then duck don't have to."
The white fog interrupted Wujiu's warning.
"Just let me follow the veterans. I won't be a drag. I'm not asking for death, and I don't think you really want me to stay in the tower."
What a weirdo...
After finally escaping from the tower, why are you in such a hurry to get out? Xue Ci and Yun Shu were a little confused by Bai Wu.
But Wujiu was not a normal boss. He actually agreed:
"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will join a group of four people, including you, to form a team of six and head to the white area."
Bai Wu also knew the color division of the regions. He asked weakly:
"What is above the blue area?"
Wujiu automatically skipped over this ignorant question. Baiwu was not trying to commit suicide, he was just out of curiosity.
"I have arranged for someone to take your fingerprints and complete the formalities for joining the Survey Corps. From now on, you are a lower-class citizen."
Haven't I always been
Bai Wu didn't know yet that although they were all members of the lower class, people with citizen numbers and those without citizen numbers lived two different lives.
…
…
Wujiu is extremely efficient in his work. In his previous life, this kind of work would take him at least a week to complete.
But under Wujiu's urging, all the formalities were quickly completed. Soon Bai Wu had his own citizen number - 560205278, and was assigned to the bottom level.
There are nine hundred meters between the ground floor and the second floor.
Every floor is the same, and between floors there are huge elevators that can accommodate nearly a thousand people at a time.
Looking at the elevator, Bai Wu knew that the scale of this tower was truly spectacular.
Under Wujiu's arrangement, he had a simple residence on the ground floor, but he had to pay 400 taels per month.
From Wujiu, Bai Wu quickly learned that one tasci was roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of one dollar in 2020 in his previous life.
Quite cheap...
There is no such thing as a prime location or a first-tier city in the tower. The ground floor is always crowded. If you are not a member of the Survey Corps, you really can't rent a house at this price.
Of course, if it is the imperial army of the high tower, then the starting point is the second-floor house...
Considering that he didn't even have the most basic resources for survival, Bai Wu was very friendly and asked Wujiu to borrow some money.
Wujiu borrowed the money with a gloomy face. Although he looked fierce, he was very generous to his subordinates.
Over the next few hours, Bai Wu began to familiarize himself with the environment surrounding his home—the southern western corner of the bottom floor of the tower.
From the perspective of the people on the third and fourth floors, the entire bottom floor is inhabited by desperate criminals, and this is the poorest and most degenerate place in the world. As long as they can give a reasonable amount of towers, these barbarians can do anything.
The place where Bai Wu is at this moment is called the Leak Picking Port.
There are no rivers or seas in Gaota, and of course no ports. It is just a simple place name.
The word "picking up a bargain" is very simple. There are all kinds of goods here, and the gimmicks all come from outside the tower, that is, spiritual items.
The port is very simple, with only one main road, about six meters wide, and on both sides of the road are all kinds of shops like street stalls.
There were no price tags, and no one robbed, because there were extremely tacit underground rules here. The port was mostly selling fake goods, and there were real spirit-inducing items, but they were very rare.
If you buy genuine products, you can basically make a small profit, but if you buy fake products, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck. It can be considered an alternative gambling game.
How to distinguish the real from the fake? The eyes cannot tell. Because the unscrupulous merchants have reached a tacit consensus - not to reveal the function of the items.
They only said that the thing came from outside the tower. They would make various assumptions about its specific abilities, but they would never say anything for sure.
It is common here to see people holding a urinal and bragging to others that it is Aladdin's magic lamp, which is a bad marketing.
But the irony is that many people are willing to believe the lies of businessmen, even if they are deceived again and again.
Because life needs hope.
Everyone hopes to buy a treasure to make this boring and cruel life at the bottom of society a little more comfortable.
Bai Wu walked into the leak-picking port.
He hadn't put on the blue uniform of the Survey Corps yet, but he had put the bag of TAS coins given by Wujiu into his bag.
The bulging purses were like the smell emitted by females, and the vendors on both sides of the road began to shout wildly like males in heat.
In the eyes of profiteers, this boy is definitely a walking cash machine. How much vision can a child of eighteen or nineteen have
Of course, they didn't know that in such a junk market, they would encounter a lucky guy with the "Eye of Prell" who could find bargains.
