Day and night kept rotating as they continued their journey. Although they already had their own food supply, they would still hunt the local Shinheuh every now and then to get some fresh meat to eat than just keep eating canned and preserved food.

Finally, after a few days of travel, they finally got out of the rocky grassland area as they reached what looked like a small paved road that extended far forward, something that indicated that a human settlement was nearby.

Following the road for a while, it seemed that the road didn't lead them astray as they did indeed finally see some small buildings and smokes that wafted out of the chimneys in the distance, the human settlement.

"Alright, let's go there, Little White." Liu Guanyi plainly commanded as the tiger softly growled in affirmation and moved her feet to the direction of what was most likely a human settlement.

After spending many days in the wilderness aimlessly, they needed to go to a human settlement to resupply, rest for some time, and most importantly, look for information about the surrounding areas.

It had been five years since that incident on the 75th floor. Now, they had reached the 80th floor.

A bit slow for their pace as it took them a year to climb one floor but they had decided to do slow down a little bit after the incident just a precaution and preparation against their enemies.

After arriving on the floor, they had quickly rented a place and dedicated almost all of their time on the floor to train themselves. At the moment, their strength was much more powerful than it was back on the 75th floor, courtesy of their crazy training regime.

After that, they went to the floor's administration office to sign up for the floor test. Now, their task to be able to climb to the next floor was to travel into one of the remote places from the floor's inner area, remote since it was in the middle area, but not that remote since it was near the border to the floor's inner area.

Their mission was to help some local communities there. The test administrators said that they received some worrying and disturbing news about the problems that the people there faced.

It wasn't bad or grave enough to the point that they had to take care of the problems themselves, but bad enough if the problems were ignored and let free to fester.

As the Floor Ruler was the one with the responsibility and authority to oversee and manage the entire floor on behalf of the guardian, it was their duty to curb and solve any problem that popped out in their territory whether they liked it or not.

As the test administrators on each floor were the employees of each corresponding Floor Ruler, their jobs weren't just assigning some tests to the regulars and overseeing the test but also to serve the Floor Ruler's biddings.

Since the Floor Ruler had apparently decided to throw their problems to them, the test administrators had also seemed to inherit the not giving a f*ck quirk from their boss as they decided that the test would be to help the distressed people in the middle area.

Certainly not a shady task like what they had experienced on the 75th floor, even pretty smart of them, but a lazy and unbecoming behavior nonetheless for mighty Rankers like them to use the honest Regulars who wanted to climb to the top as some sort of free labor to deal with their problems.

Well, they didn't seem to target Adori and the company as many other teams also got the same task but only in different locations.

Well, they knew pretty well why.

When they had come to the administration office, instead of looking like a legitimate and neat office for people to work, it was more like a bedroom with a huge and comfortable bed with all the pillows, bolsters, and so on.

There, they saw a green-haired man sleeping peacefully on the bed wrapped in a thick and warm-looking blanket. They had to shake him up and cried out loudly repeatedly to wake him up to ask about the floor test.

And when it was done, albeit with what looked like a herculean effort, the green-haired man had instantly laid down on the bed once again.

It was weird for Liu Guanyi to see something like this, a person so lazy that he was incredibly reluctant to leave the comfort of his bed even just for a minute to do the job he was hired to do.

Heck, it was Adori, a princess of Zahard that was more respected and well-known compared to her sisters, who had received such bad treatment.

Liu Guanyi couldn't imagine how he would serve other people if a famous princess of Zahard like Adori had obtained a cold shoulder, a great disrespect even if he was a Ranker from one of the great families.

However, after Adori explained her analysis about that weird encounter, Liu Guanyi could only nod his head in understanding and accept that there were indeed such strange people.

Yes, strange people, not just a man as she said that such laziness was spread among the members of one particular house of the ten great families…

The Eurassia.

The family that was specialized in shinsu control and was in fact the best wave controllers among all the numerous races and people that lived in the tower.

All of their members were said to be geniuses as wave controllers as they could manipulate shinsu as they wished no matter the difficulties.

What the other families and wave controllers thought to be impossible, they apparently beg to differ as they accomplished what they thought of as impossible feats effortlessly without even thinking.

If the ordinary people were small fish in the ocean and the ten great families were the big fish, then the Eurassia family was the flying fish.

The other fish could only swim no matter what they do and train in their entire lives but even if the flying fish didn't train in their entire lives, they could still fly out of the water.

That was just their inherent and natural ability.

Although they might not be the strongest family out there, their ability and feats in shinsu control were so ridiculous that they were thought to have been borne by shinsu themselves.
