Chapter 39: New Identity!

[Welcome to the first floor of the tower of trials, Please complete all tasks within the required amount of time!]

[Task 1: Discover the ruined village somewhere within this forest]

[Task 2: find the source of the destruction of the village]

[Defeat the main cause of the disaster that took place]

[Note: The time given for these quests is 48 hours, failure to do so will result in death!]

Looking at the both familiar and unfamiliar text in front of him, Lin Ye couldn’t help but have a smile on his face

“Haa~ thank goodness, it seems like the quest for the first floor is the same as that of my previous life!”

“If that is the case, then that just makes what happens next all the more easier!”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Ye quickly began to scan his surroundings, and much like it stated in the quest, he was currently trapped within a forest

Filled with lush weeds, trees, shrubs, and stones as far as the eye can see with an additional animal roar from time to time

It wouldn’t be an example to call it a natural paradise compared to most places on the Blue Star which had been overrun due to industrialization

Taking another glance, Lin Ye once again admired the beauty of his surroundings before frowning as he realized a serious problem

Transported with no food, no map, no water, given these current conditions, not to mention completing all three tasks

But even completing the first task alone within the time period would be a major headache

And if Lin Ye remembered it right, almost thirty percent of the trialists failed to complete all three tasks resulting in an instant death

While those who managed to complete one or two tasks, although gained a low score and received low prizes

They were able to survive this being able to climb other floors of the tower

“Haha thinking of it now, wasn’t this place nicknamed the awakened killer? Since it was due to this floor that a lot of the first batch of awakened died”

However apart from laughing a bit at its nickname, Lin Ye didn’t care too much about the first floor as even back then he managed to complete all three tasks with time to spare

If anything, the only thing Lin Ye found valuable was the hidden piece that someone in his past life discovered granting them A-level strength almost immediately

Unfortunately, the person never revealed the characteristics of the item causing most people to speculate its identity

“However, before we do anything there is something that has to be done!”

Murmuring under his lips, Lin Ye looked toward the sky with a smile

And sure enough! Just coming into his field of vision was a floating eye wrapped in what seemed to be a purple-like energy

“Hello, people of the blue star! and those gods and goddesses who may be watching!”

“You may call me devourer and I am a human from the blue star who awakened the S-level ability devouring and absorption!”

“No matter what it is whether organic or inorganic I can eat or absorb it through hand contact allowing me to possess some of its abilities or characteristics!

Looking at the floating eyeball, Lin Ye continued to speak as if he was talking to the people of the blue star, introducing himself and talking about the current situation

And as for worrying about himself getting exposed, Lin Ye had already prepared in order to prevent such an ordeal

Draped from head to toe in a long black robe and black clothes beneath, and a white spiral mask complexly covering his face only leaving room for one eye

Lin Ye made it so that it would be almost impossible to associate devourer with him as even his hands were covered in gloves

With the right black and the left white, making it impossible to tell his skin color much less his race

Adding to the fact that he also installed a voice changer within the mask making his voice appear much deeper

Lin Ye was almost a hundred percent sure of keeping his identity safe as he had already planned a route to even ungraded them later on as he progressed through the tower

However, that would be for much later as now he currently has to deal with the tasks at hand

One complete long the current floor one tasks

Finding the hidden piece and the first floor

And lastly garnering as much attention as possible from the live broadcast

Thankfully he had already gained a lot of attention by his sudden talking towards the eyeball as that was the observer in charge of recording and transmitting the live broadcast

Observers, special beings or tools created to live broadcast each floor and each trialist Specifically in a one-to-one ratio

And with the abilities of the tower of trials, it is then transmitted onto the internet on the Blue star

So now, in contrast to other trialists who were still in loss, despair, or denial

Lin Ye ’s act of waving to the camera immediately garnered a lot of attention

( Bis sis onii: Anchor is so funny! How did he know where the camera was?

[I am him: upstairs don’t be distracted! Didn’t you hear his ability? Absorption and devouring?? Isn’t that too Op?]

[King Kong: yes upstairs is right! Not to mention it’s an S-level ability at that!]

[night owl: 6666!]

[skyman: 6666!]

[Redhunt: 6666!]

All of a sudden a barrage of messages instantly popped up in front of Lin Ye ’s screen

And while most of them were positive, a lot of them were in disbelief as no one wanted to admit that such an outrageous ability existed

However, just seeing them get so riled up was enough for Lin Ye at the moment

Next what he needed to do was to put that ability into play or at least make it look like it and allow them to believe it’s true

Once that happens, then the ability can be said to be as good as his

At least that was what Lin Ye intended to do before a certain pop message interrupted his thoughts

[A certain god with one eye is looking at you with a smile]

Seeing this message, Lin Ye who had been smiling all this while instantly turned cold under the mask
