--- Chapter 278 ---
As Huo Yuhao and others returned to the hotel, he glanced at Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao. A question slowly resurfaced in his mind.
"What's your first impression about the Tower of Babylon?"
Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth and answered, "Ahead of its time."
Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao thought about it and replied, "That tower is way too innovative."
Huo Yuhao bobbed his head at Zhang Lexuan's reply, but Ma Xiaotao's answer made him smile wryly. The Tower of Babylon is indeed way too innovative for this era.
Even in the original story, Huo Yuhao was the person to develop Spirit Pagoda and started a new era where Spirit Masters could form contracts with Spirit Beasts, which somewhat solved overhunting Spirit Beasts.
Why is it somewhat solved, not just solved?
Well, the Spirit Beasts are fucked one way or another 10,000 years later because of a 'certain' irresponsible God. That guy messed with the world so much, yet not solved any of the problems.
It's like that one aggravating cousin who comes to your house on holiday and leaves everything, including your room, like a broken ship.
With that in mind, Huo Yuhao planned to spread the Tower of Babylon over the Douluo Dalu Planet and reformed the Spirit Master's system soon.
Of course, this reformation only applied to the factions that Dragon Nest approved. Fortunately, the tower is only an energy-gathering site with built-in teleportation runes and a ranking system.
The Tower of Babylon's functionality lies within Giana's monitoring system and Self-Evolving Dungeon Advalon's constant supply of Spirit Beasts.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and asked, "Do you have any feedback about the Tower of Babylon's performance?"
"Hmm... Can you ask your teacher(Dragon Nest's leader) to make the Tower of Babylon easier?" Ma Xiaotao returned immediately.
"Well, everything except that." Huo Yuhao was speechless.
Zhang Lexuan smiled and suggested, "Since you can't lower the difficulty, what about adding the introduction of the Spirit Beasts and Bosses?"
"Some spirit beasts we fought earlier are extinct, and we barely know their information."
"But isn't that how Spirit Masters grow?" Huo Yuhao argued back.
"If you can't gather information about your enemy in the middle of the fight, then you're doomed when fighting in the real world."
"That's why you also have to add wrong information." Zhang Lexuan slyly added. "Every now and then, you will tell misinformation that caught the challengers off guard."
'Are you a demon?' Ma Xiaotao thought while looking at Zhang Lexuan's sly expression. This Senior Sister is too terrifying.
Yae, Huang Yuna, Huang Qiu'er, Kunou, and Ophis, who had been quiet in the whole conversation, felt this black-haired woman had the potential to be an ultimate sadist.
Zhang Lexuan felt their gazes and coughed in embarrassment, "That's just my words, so don't take them seriously."
"If you can't do that, you can also make five different difficulties like Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell."
"I think for the contestant to reach the 100th-floor minimum to get a reward is too difficult for the current era. Yes, I mean it."
"Each difficulty will correspond to how powerful the enemy per floor can be and the reward the contestant could get. Easy is obviously the lowest, and the contestant could only climb to the 30th floor."
"Let's say you can get a small increase in cultivation on the 30th floor."
"As for Hell..."
"Yuhao, is it true that you and your team conquered the 210th floor?" She glanced at Huo Yuhao, looking straight into his sparkling blue eyes.
The sudden shift caught Huo Yuhao off guard.
"It's true." Huo Yuhao answered with a shrug.
"What do you want to do with this useless information anyway?"
Zhang Lexuan shook her head gently, "It's not useless."
"It can be my future goal!"
"I won't ask about the specifics, though we can use this floor as the highest benchmark for the Tower of Babylon's whole difficulty."
"I see..." Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.
"But I already expected no one in the Douluo Continent could climb or finish the 210th floor for the next ten years."
"Why so?" Zhang Lexuan was curious.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "Your enemy on the 100th floor is a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. Now imagine what boss you had to face on the 210th floor."
"What would be the minimal requirement to challenge such a floor?"
"This..." Zhang Lexuan finally realized something.
Huo Yuhao patted Zhang Lexuan's shoulder and said, "Your feedback is good. I'll ask my teacher and see if we could implement some of it."
"An insider information from me. We still planned to add more floors later."
"R-Really?"
"Yes."
"Let's have dinner later. I'll send the location to your smartwatch." Huo Yuhao smiled at Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao and left with his teammates.
Zhang Lexuan watched Huo Yuhao's back and mumbled, "How can..."
"He is so handsome?" Ma Xiaotao finished her words.
"Yes. Wait, no..."
"What, you don't think your boyfriend is handsome?"
"That's not what I mean. Xiaotao, you dare to tease me!" Zhang Lexuan harrumphed and gently punched the phoenix lady a few times.
Ma Xiaotao giggled and hugged Zhang Lexuan instead, "Let's go back and absorb our harvest today."
"We still have so much Extraterrestrial Essence, and our cultivation base has increased by one level now."
"Mm, let's go back." Zhang Lexuan agreed, but she was still pouting.
"Senior Sister, have Yuhao said that you're..." Ma Xiaotao looked at this and asked.
"Me what?"
"That you're so adorable." Ma Xiaotao grinned at her and ran away.
"XIAOTAO!" Zhang Lexuan blushed and chased after the phoenix lady.
Ma Xiaotao also wanted to become Huo Yuhao's woman, but she didn't think a frontal assault would have much effect. So, unlike Xiao Xiao, she tries to make good relationships with his women.
They said if you can't beat them, join them.
After knowing Dragon Nest has such a thing as the Tower of Babylon, she shouldn't see Huo Yuhao's identity too lightly anymore. In the past, she could joke about it, but now?
Ma Xiaotao vowed to become a woman who could stand beside Huo Yuhao.
At the very least, she wished she could be Huo Yuhao's support in some way. And this is her method.
...
Huo Yuhao returned to his stay and told them he'd check on Scathach first.
"Then, we will have brunch first," Yae said after some thought.
"I don't know why she made such a huge reaction earlier, so I assumed it has something to do with her homeworld."
"Yes." Huo Yuhao honestly admitted.
Yae giggled, "Go and meet your lovely mentor-lover. We will be waiting at the nearest restaurant."
"See you later, Yuhao-nii!" Kunou waved her hand at Huo Yuhao already.
"Come on, Ophis, say it too."
"See you..." Ophis waved her hand slowly.
Huo Yuhao patted Kunou and Ophis, telling them to order anything they wanted from the restaurant later. The restaurant's food stock would go to zero quickly because of Ophis's appetite, but it's worth rewarding her performance in the Tower of Babylon.
"Then, Qiu'er and I would browse the mall." Huang Yuna suddenly said while hugging her disciple's arm. "Yuhao, can you charge my smartwatch?"
She fluttered her eyelashes at him.
'Is this how a sugar daddy felt?' Huo Yuhao thought while agreeing with Huang Yuna's request. Even without his help, Huang Yuna has enough contribution points to buy everything on Java Island.
He glanced at Huang Qiu'er and said, "Buy yourself new clothes, Qiu'er."
"Don't wear battle suits all the time."
"Mm." Huang Qiu'er blushed because her battle suit had tears in some places, exposing her tender skin to him.
After that, Huo Yuhao bid farewell and went to Scathach's temporary bedroom. There, he found Qianye Ying'er at the door with a wry expression.
"What's with the expression?" He approached Qianye Ying'er.
Qianye Ying'er sighed, "Go look for yourself."
"Just a reminder, Instructor Scathach's real body is coming for you in the Advalon."
"What??" Huo Yuhao was shocked.
He opened the door and saw Scathach's clone drinking red wine.
"Too late, you had to pay for that teasing, young man." The clone uttered while smirking at him.
...
Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon.
A crimson light sliced through the horizon and crashed on the ground near a place where Huo Yuhao meditated.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and saw Scathach in her full glory, "This, Shishou, please don't be angry."
"I was just trying to be funny when building that floor."
Scathach walked to Huo Yuhao silently and grabbed his collar, "I don't care."
"Fuck me."
"Now!"
'Eh?' Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.
Are you angry or horny?
