It was late at night and no one was on the silent street. The evening wind blew across the street, rolling up leaves and fine stones and making a rustling sound. Tang Mo hid by the window of a household goods store. He walked into the store, lowered his voice and determined the situation of Fu Wenduo on the other end of the turkey egg.

The pair quickly exchanged information.

After entering the tower attack game, Tang Mo only contacted Fu Wenduo once. Later, he participated in the truth clock game and the two of them didn’t speak.

“Five days have passed, so… it has been nine days since the four stowaways ambushed us.” Tang Mo calculated the date in his heart. “The time flow on both sides is really different. I experienced one day at the most in the tower attack game. Where are you now?”

“My house, to the west of the Forbidden City.” The low magnetic voice emerged from the turkey egg. In the dark store, Tang Mo listened to this sound and his heart gradually calmed down. He heard Fu Wenduo continue to say, “The situation is safe. There is no one from the Tian Xuan organization in the vicinity. There are two official players organizations in the Forbidden City. Be careful when coming over.”

Tang Mo nodded. “Yes, I will head over at dawn.”

It had been a long time since the earth went online and most official players had blood on their hands. Stowaways weren’t the only ones who would kill for the sake of benefits. It was just like in the Iron Shoemaker game. The official player Xing Feng killed many players and backstabbed Tang Mo. He couldn’t be careless towards anyone.

The two of them confirmed the situation in Beijing for the past few days. It turned out that three days ago, an assembly instance opened in Beijing and the gathering place was near the Temple of Heaven. Tang Mo was attacking the tower, Fu Wensheng was around and it was unknown when the Tian Xuan would attack so Fu Wenduo didn’t participate.

Fu Wenduo added, “A reality instance appeared at the entrance of Peking University.”

Tang Mo was surprised. “At the entrance?”

“Yes, at Ximen. The new reality instance just appeared yesterday and already more than a dozen players have died in this instance. Their bodies were thrown out on the side of the road. From your position, you might pass by it so be careful not to trigger the reality instance.”

“Okay.”

When Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo spoke, they expressed their meaning with the shortest words and didn’t waste time. As they exchanged information, Tang Mo inadvertently looked up and saw the clock hanging on the wall of the store. He found that 10 minutes had actually passed?

Time flew a bit too fast. He felt like it had only been three minutes.

They clearly hadn’t said to much and tried to finish it as soon as possible. How could so much time pass?

Tang Mo thought about this strange problem. He inexplicably had a thought, ‘Time passes quickly when talking to Fu Wenduo.’ He hadn’t yet figured out this feeling when a low voice filled the quiet store. “Tang Mo.”

Tang Mo paused and looked down at the turkey egg in his arms. A moment later, he asked softly, “What is it?”

“The black tower’s third floor, is it dangerous?”

Was it dangerous?

It seemed to be quite dangerous. As soon as he entered, he faced Mosaic’s fire and hundreds of black tower monsters fleeing together. Without the earthworms, it would’ve been very troublesome to deal with the black bugs. In the truth clock game, he used luck and some speculations to win the game. He also blackmailed Mr. Rabbit to get an extra reward.

…Eh? Extra reward?

Tang Mo immediately recovered his spirit. “I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m going to look at the reward I received.”

Fu Wenduo was preparing to say, ‘What type of game is it? Can you tell me?’ when he was interrupted by Tang Mo.

Then Tang Mo reacted. “Oh yes, what did you want to say?”

Fu Wenduo, “…”

Major Fu, who had intended to care about his teammate, sighed softly. In the simple two-storey building, a tall and handsome man stood in the yard and looked up at the moon in the sky. He wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and was holding a white turkey egg in his right hand. Fu Wenduo heard Tang Mo’s impatient voice and knew that his teammate really wanted to check the reward from the tower attack game and was in no mood to talk to Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo looked at the sky while behind him, Fu Wensheng was filling mineral bottles with water while glancing at his brother.

After a moment, Fu Wenduo laughed and said, “Tang Mo, congratulations on being the first one in China to clear the black tower’s first floor.”

Tang Mo wasn’t in the mood to hear Fu Wenduo’s congratulations. He hurriedly said, “Okay, I’ll tell you about my game tomorrow. I’ll tell Xiao Fu at the same time, so that you’re both prepared when you attack the third floor.”

After this sentence, Tang Mo hung up. Fu Wenduo looked down at the turkey egg, helplessly shook his head and returned to the house.

In Beijing’s Xicheng district, a household goods store.

Tang Mo put the turkey egg back in his pocket and confirmed again that no one was around. Then he took out the transparent pocket watch and golden candy from his pocket. Tang Mo took out his flashlight and carefully looked at these two props.

The transparent pocket watch seemed to be made out of crystal. It was clear and very delicate. It looked no different from a regular pocket watch with two small hour and minute hands set inside, along with a slender second hand. Tang Mo carefully observed for a while before turning his eyes to the golden candy.

The golden candy was even more common. It was an ordinary candy with a gold wrapping paper. The light reflected off the gold wrapper from all angles. Tang Mo weighed it and sighed, “It isn’t gold, it is a bit lighter. It should be a similar metal.”

Tang Mo tried to hit the two props and put them in water. After a few attempts, the golden candy reacted first.

[Prop: Very Ordinary Golden Candy]

[Owner: Tang Mo]

[Quality: Rubbish]

[Level: 1]

[Function: A candy that has been treasured by Mr. Rabbit for 36 years. Perhaps someone would love to eat it? Of course, it is likely to be moldy.]

[Restrictions: None. A’Tang, you can’t kill with it.]

[Note: Tang Mo thought he had gained something. He never thought the rabbit father is still a rabbit father.]

Tang Mo, “…”

Tang Mo turned the candy around three times without any expression, trying to find other users. However, the black tower mercilessly told him that it was ordinary candy. Tang Mo frowned before putting the candy in his backpack. He wasn’t going to throw away this seemingly useless thing. For five months, Tang Mo had gained many rubbish things from Mario’s hat. Unless it was a bowl of water, broken shoes or really useless rubbish, Tang Mo wouldn’t throw anything away. There was a pocket in his bag dedicated to these ‘garbage.’

“Maybe the Queen of Hearts likes to eat golden candy?”

Tang Mo muttered and continued to study the transparent pocket watch.

This transparent pocket watch was clearly more important than the golden candy. The golden candy was an extra item that Tang Mo got from Mr. Rabbit. The transparent pocket watch was his reward for clearing the instance. Tang Mo opened the pocket watch and tried a variety of methods, all of them failing to find the current use of the pocket watch. He was about to burn the pocket watch with fire when his gaze stopped on the three hands on the clock.

The thin second hand didn’t need attention. It had been moving clockwise as always. But the other two pointers…

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at the minute and hour hands.

This pocket watch was very strange. The second hand was moving but the minute and hour hands never moved. The minute hand was pointing to the 47th position while the hour hand was to the right side of the number ‘1.’ It was about one-quarter of the distance of one square away. Tang Mo looked at it seriously before suddenly moving the hour hand to the right. His hand touched it and pulled it to the correct position. Three quarters of the distance away from the number ‘1’.

There was a click as the hour hand returned to the right position. Then small lines of words appeared above the transparent pocket watch. At the same time, a clear child’s voice rang in Tang Mo’s mind.

“Ding dong! It has been detected that a player using the ‘I love the black tower, I want to attack the black tower’ charm has cleared the tower attack game and received an extra reward. The player is the first one in China to clear the black tower’s third floor (normal mode) and an extra bonus is added.”

“Successfully stimulated the infinite non-probability.”

“Ding dong! The game reward Mr. Rabbit’s Probability Pocket Watch has changed to Black Tower’s Infinite Non-Probability Pocket Watch.”

A dazzling golden light burst from the pocket watch. Tang Mo closed his eyes and opened them again, clearly seeing a golden pattern form on the transparent pocket watch.”

“∞?” Tang Mo denied it. “There is a flew.”

In the middle of the clock, a strange symbol was drawn under the three points. It was an infinity symbol but there was a slash in the centre of the symbol, as if someone had wanted to delete this infinity symbol. With the appearance of this symbol, the small writing on the transparent pocket watch also started to change. Tang Mo looked at these golden words and the expression on his face stiffened.

[Prop: Black Tower’s Infinite Non-Probability Pocket Watch]

[Owner: Tang Mo]

[Quality: Rare]

[Level: 3]

[Function: The hour and minute hands of the pocket watch will always point in the wrong direction while the second hand will keep moving. The pocket watch can detect all probability events around the player. Once the probability of an event occurring is infinite, the player can manually trigger the pocket watch and open the infinite non-probability event. The hour and minute hands will return to the correct position, triggering an infinite non-probability.]

[Restrictions: The player can actively choose to use the infinite non-probability pocket watch once every 10 days. The infinite non-probability event triggered by the pocket watch isn’t completely controlled by the player. There is a 50% chance that the player’s attempt will succeed.]

[Note: Believe in the black tower, it will be 10,000 times better than Mr. Rabbit’s probability pocket watch. Don’t believe in the black tower… do you want to bite the black tower? The black tower has earned your trust!]

Tang Mo, “…”

He wanted to return to the Spirit Prairie and change it back with the truth clock!
