Back when Lin Mo helped Ning Xi take over the Divine Might Tower, his goal had been to let her accumulate 3.2 million reputation as quickly as possible, so she could use the tenfold enhancement on the rewards from the Ten Halls of Yama Hall and obtain the SSS-rank Hidden Class Advancement Certificate.
And the facts had proven that the Divine Might Tower really was the fastest way to earn reputation at this stage.
After leaving the Divine Tomb dungeon, Lin Mo and Ning Xi first returned to Inferno City and stored all the treasure chests they had obtained in the dungeon in the city's warehouse.
Then they headed straight for the Divine Might Tower.
It was around 11:30 in the morning, close to noon.
Outside the enormous Divine Might Tower, the line of players was still as long as a dragon.
Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan, who had come along with Lin Mo and Ning Xi to take a look, were deeply shocked.
"My god! It's already 11:30 and they're still lining up. Aren't they going to eat?"
As soon as Xia Wanwan finished speaking, Ling Xiao analyzed, "The players at the front have already waited in line for several hours. They're finally about to get in."
"If they leave now to eat and come back, they'll have to line up all over again."
"So to them, skipping a meal is no big deal, but they absolutely have to enter the Divine Might Tower."
"Tsk! These people are crazy," Qin Feng shook his head, "Seriously crazy! My grandma used to rush to the supermarket for discounted eggs early in the morning, and even that wasn't this crazy."
"Is the Divine Might Tower really that attractive?"
At that moment, several players standing nearby in line turned toward them.
"It's amazing, bro! Seriously amazing!"
A level 59 Assassin said, "Listen, bro. In the Divine Might Tower, killing monsters isn't affected by level differences! For example, it's a pain for me to fight level 60-plus monsters outside right now, but if I kill low-level monsters, my rewards get reduced too much and leveling is slow."
"But in here, I can easily kill level 51 and 52 monsters while still getting 100% of the normal kill rewards. No level penalty at all. And these monsters even have a chance to drop reputation. Doesn't that sound awesome?"
Another young Soul Archer who looked like a student said enviously, "The Divine Might Tower also has kill achievement rewards! I heard someone in the class next door stayed here grinding all night yesterday. He reached 500 kills and got a D-rank skill book as a reward."
"He sold it right away for 8,000 yuan. Damn it! Everyone in our school was so jealous, so I came first thing this morning to line up."
Another level 58 Sword and Shield Warrior said regretfully, "Damn it, I got too greedy! I actually got in this morning, but I used three tickets at once and summoned three monsters. They killed me instead, and now I have to line up all over again."
Hearing this, Qin Feng and the others finally understood why these players were so "crazy."
Not just them.
Even Qin Feng couldn't help getting excited himself.
"This sounds awesome! I want to go in too... but I don't want to wait in line."
At that moment, Ning Xi said, "Brother Lin Mo, let's go in and take a look."
"Okay."
With that, under Ning Xi's lead, the five of them walked past the long queue and headed straight toward the Divine Might Tower.
The players who had been waiting patiently in line were naturally unhappy.
"Miss, you're really pretty, but you can't cut the line!"
"She's the Lord. Why would she need to queue?"
"Holy crap! That's awesome!"
Feeling the countless envious gazes around him, Qin Feng said proudly, "Having connections really is great!"
After entering the Divine Might Tower, Ning Xi opened the territory interface.
She discovered that around three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Divine Might Tower had already reached Level 2.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Divine Might Tower (Territory)]
Lord: Liuli (Temporary Lord, 4 days 10 hours 51 minutes remaining)
Level: 2
Rank Requirement: Black Iron Rank 1
Level Requirement: 50
Description: The Divine Might Tower is a land of prestige. Players who enter the Divine Might Tower and complete challenges have a chance to receive additional reputation rewards upon victory. At the same time, whenever challengers obtain reputation, the Lord of the Divine Might Tower will automatically receive a percentage as commission. (At the current level of the Divine Might Tower, the Lord receives a 20% reputation commission. Upgrading the Divine Might Tower to Level 3 increases the commission rate to 30%.)...
Upgrade Requirement: The Lord must obtain a total of 20,125/50,000 reputation through the Divine Might Tower (before any reputation bonuses are applied).
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Each time the Divine Might Tower levels up, a new floor is unlocked.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Currently unlocked:]
First Floor: Tickets cost 10 copper coins each. Players can use the corresponding ticket to summon level 51-55 monsters. Defeating a monster has a 1% chance to grant 1 reputation point. Maximum capacity: 100,000 players.
Second Floor: Tickets cost 20 copper coins each. Players can use the corresponding ticket to summon level 56-60 monsters. Defeating a monster has a 1% chance to grant 2 reputation points. Maximum capacity: 100,000 players.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
As the Lord, Ning Xi originally received a 20% commission every time players on the first or second floor gained reputation.
However, thanks to her SSS-rank talent, Supreme Emperor, which granted a hundredfold reputation bonus, the reputation commission Ning Xi ultimately received was even higher than what the players themselves earned, reaching twenty times their gains.
Looking at the territory statistics, Ning Xi said, "When both floors are full, the first floor generates about 2,000 reputation every hour. Before the hundredfold bonus, I receive a commission of about 400."
"The second floor generates about 3,000 reputation every hour, and I receive a commission of about 600."
Qin Feng scratched his head, "Wait, that doesn't seem right."
"The chance of getting reputation on the second floor is still 1%, but each reward increases from 1 point to 2 points. Shouldn't the second floor's total income be exactly double the first?"
"Dummy!"
Xia Wanwan laughed.
"That's because the level 56-60 monsters on the second floor are much stronger than the level 51-55 monsters on the first floor."
"The difficulty goes up a lot, so players kill monsters more slowly. Naturally, the income can't simply double."
Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is!"
Ning Xi happily said to Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, if we include my hundredfold talent bonus, that means I can earn 100,000 reputation every hour, or 2.4 million reputation a day."
"That's much faster than when we used to earn reputation by killing bosses."
Looking at it this way, the more than 56 million reputation needed to enhance all the treasure chests from the Divine Tomb suddenly didn't seem all that impossible.
After all, even if the Divine Might Tower's current income never increased, it would still generate that much reputation in just over twenty days.
And this was only the income from a Level 2 Divine Might Tower.
Once they upgraded it further to Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5, Ning Xi's reputation income would become even higher.
The Divine Might Tower's upgrade requirement depended on how much reputation the Lord obtained through the tower.
And only the base reputation counted, before any bonuses.
Going from Level 2 to Level 3 required a total of 50,000 reputation.
At the current rate, the Divine Might Tower generated 1,000 commission reputation every hour, or 24,000 per day.
That meant it would only take a little over two days to meet the upgrade requirement.
Not to mention that it had already accumulated 20,000.
In other words, they only needed another 30,000 reputation for the Divine Might Tower to level up.
That would take only a little over a day.
According to the territory quest triggered by Ning Xi's Miracle, as long as she upgraded the Divine Might Tower to Level 3, the duration of the Life Token: Heavenly Might would be extended from seven days to thirty days.
At the same time, the Divine Might Tower Lord status would also be extended to thirty days.
