But despite his complaints, Bai Qi was highly satisfied with this pair of mono lens glasses.
Being able to see runic attributes would be significantly beneficial for his future studies. Still, he decided that it would be best to seek Professor Dong’s advice on using these glasses correctly.
Bai Qi carefully stowed away his runic monocle and stepped back on the teleportation circle, arriving at the ninth floor.
As soon as he entered the ninth floor, he saw a deactivated rune puppet crouching on the floor, one hand on its forehead, a precisely crafted Rubik’s Cube floated in front of it.
Remembering the previous challenge, Bai Qi didn’t rush to grab the Rubik’s Cube. He kept Alpha on alert towards the puppet and began investigating his surroundings.
“Beta, is there danger here?”
Bai Qi patted the Husky on the head. The Husky, unimpressed, twisted its head away without responding.
(I know, but I won’t tell.)
Looking at the Husky’s behavior, Bai Qi maliciously grinned, grabbed the Husky and threw it towards the rune puppet.
Bark Bark Bark Bark!
(Humans, I may not be a wolf, but you are truly a dog!)
After landing, the Husky roared at Bai Qi, who callously ignored him.
Bai Qi walked over to the rune puppet, examined it closely, and found that not only was its power exhausted, many of its runes were damaged-it was completely useless now.
“So, is the ninth floor another welfare distribution?”
Bai Qi immediately recalled the “Lamentation Tower” scenario, took a deep breath, and picked up the Rubik’s Cube.
The cube was made of obsidian, a third-order Rubik’s Cube, with runes randomly engraved on it. Bai Qi didn’t know their purpose.
And that was it?
Bai Qi waited patiently; neither the first-time clear rewards nor the teleportation out appeared.
“Quit!”
“QUIT!”
Bai Qi tried all the languages he knew; the secret realm tower gave no response, almost like it planned to trap him there.
“Damn it, I had too many cheats activated and finally got account locked.”
Distressed, Bai Qi hand ruffled through his hair, looking at the scrambled Rubik’s Cube in his hands, suddenly had an idea and started looking it over thoroughly.
The previous step tested observation, maybe the ninth step tests operation, Bai Qi reasoned.
Bai Qi didn’t know many runes, but even a third-order Rubik’s Cube didn’t pose much of a challenge to him, even if he couldn’t understand the runes on it.
Soon enough, he was able to complete the third-order Rubik’s Cube. Six runes had light up m succession, and the cube was pulled out of his hand and flew into the air.
So it was like that, huh?
Bai Qi nodded his head in satisfaction, awaiting the arrival of the first-time clear rewards. However, the runes on the cube only flickered before dimming and descending back into Bai Qi’s hands.
It was still the same cube, only now it had transformed into a fourth-order cube.
“Why does this plot seem so familiar to me…”
Looking at the now more challenging Rubik’s Cube in his hands, Bai Qi rubbed his temples, his mind going back to an unending golden finger challenge.
“Using a Rubik’s Cube as the ninth floor challenge is a bit childish, isn’t it?”
Bai Qi continued fiddling with the cube while shifting his attention to the broken rune puppet beside him.
“Maybe it wants me to repair this puppet.”
Bai Qi considered the first-time clear rewards he had gotten so far and believed it was plausible.
“Who cares, let’s try and see.”
Back at the entrance to Twin Towers,
Bai Qiucha, who had failed yet again, leaned against the Skeleton Dragon in defeat, his eyes never leaving the rapidly flashing ninth rune glyph on the entrance door, filled with uncertainty.
He was a unique profession among beast masters, a Soul Communicator. He could establish connections with pets far stronger than himself without the fear of backlash, thus making him an outstanding figure among peers of the same level.
But even so, he couldn’t simultaneously eliminate 50 Rune Puppets-II on the sixth floor.
Li Xusheng shared this uncertainty. As a fusion talent beastmaster with potent physical strength due to being mixed-race, he could output without concerns Still, he only passed the fifth floor after activating his secondary talent. As for the sixth floor, he was unsure he could get through.
If these two third-stage Beast Masters couldn’t pass it, who knows how Bai Qi blasted his way to the ninth floor.
Perhaps this was why dad (the minister) was interested in this kid?
Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the ninth floor’s rune stabilized. Bai Qi reappeared at the entrance with an old rune puppet standing next to him.
“Bai Qi, you cleared the floor, what’s the reward?”
President Qin approached Bai Qi. Seeing Bai Qi’s tired expression, he summoned an elf. The elf circled Bai Qi, sprinkling countless spots of light. Bai Qi immediately felt his fatigue wash away; its effectiveness was much better than the Angel Fruit.
“President Qin, what kind of pet is that?”
Looking at the elf that returned to President Qin after it aided him, Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked, “Didn’t the association say they were going to give me a pet? Can I choose this one?” President Qin shook his head, saying smugly, “Forget it. There is only one light elf in the Federation, none other.”
Wow, a rare pet!
Old Qin was lucky!
Bai Qi put away his envy and started plotting something else.
Perhaps, when Alpha evolves next time, he can come to Old Qin?
The wool offered was free; why not take it?
“Ahem, we digressed.”
President Qin pulled Bai Qi aside, glanced at Yi Yu not far away, and asked
“What’s the reward of the ninth floor? It can’t just be this useless puppet, ’ right?”
“Um, kind of.”
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment before giving an ambiguous answer.
“What do you mean by kind of?”
With a black line on his face, President Qin looked at Bai Qi’s evasive eyes and decided not to question further.
With so many people and so many eyes here, it’s not good to ask too much. “Congratulations, you’ve cleared two secret realm towers consecutively, that’s quite an accomplishment even in the Federation.”
Yi Yu smilingly walked over to Bai Qi and eyed the rune puppet next to him, saying, “Is this the reward from the ninth floor?”
“Yes!”
Bai Qi answered, without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing Bai Qi’s confirmation, Yi Yu’s eyes shone, he looked at the puppet closely and asked, “I am very interested in runes, but I haven’t found a decent rune puppet. Can you give this to me?”
“I can exchange it with mechanic handbook data after the fourth stage.”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!”
“Deal.”
The two of them quickly made the trade, one handed over the handbook, and the other handed over the puppet. It was all smooth and happy.
However, the surrounding people were somewhat dumbfounded.
What the hell just happened?
