Chapter 197: The Infinite Tower, Endless Possibilities
Chapter 197: The Infinite Tower, Endless Possibilities
Adding to his curiosity, Uchiha Yi wanted to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Infinite Tower. He realized that people without a certain level of influence or status might not have detailed knowledge about it.
The individuals in front of him seemed to hold some social standing within the Dragon Nation. Perhaps they could provide the information he sought. So, cooperating with them wasn't a big deal.
"Registration requires going to the relevant department," said the burly man. "Please come with us."
Seeing Uchiha Yi cooperate so readily, the man heaved a sigh of relief. Resolving matters without resorting to force was always preferable.
The last thing he wanted was an impulsive, powerful individual with unknown abilities creating chaos. If he could handle this peacefully, his task would be much easier.
Taking Uchiha Yi and the girl into custody without resistance was a rare stroke of luck. After all, failing a mission would lead to criticism from his superiors, and that wasn't something he wanted to face.
Following the burly man, Uchiha Yi boarded the security vehicle.
"Hey, brother, what's your name?" Uchiha Yi broke the silence, initiating a conversation in his usual approachable manner.
"Zhou Wu," the man responded briefly, slightly puzzled by Uchiha Yi's calm demeanor.
In Zhou Wu's line of work, most people showed visible signs of panic or resistance when apprehended. But this young man? He seemed entirely unfazed, almost as if nothing could rattle him.
Or perhaps he had an ace up his sleeve, Zhou Wu mused.
"Well then, Brother Zhou, my name is Zhou Yi," Uchiha Yi said with a smile. "What a coincidence—turns out we're both from the Zhou clan!"
"..." Zhou Wu was momentarily speechless. He wasn't naive enough to take the young man's words at face value.
However, he didn't press further. As long as this person cooperated until they reached their destination, Zhou Wu wouldn't complain.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhou," Uchiha Yi continued, "what do you know about the Infinite Tower?"
Zhou Wu raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to know?"
"Anything and everything! Especially the things that aren't publicly available," Uchiha Yi replied casually, observing Zhou Wu's reactions.
"You've got some nerve making demands," Zhou Wu chuckled. "But fine, I'll share what I can."
After all, the young man seemed harmless for now, and Zhou Wu didn't mind indulging his curiosity.

The Infinite Tower: Basics and Secrets
Zhou Wu explained that the Infinite Tower offered endless possibilities.
To start, individuals must register their identities within the tower, granting them the rank of One-Star Member. From there, they can accept one-star tasks.
These tasks offer a variety of rewards: superhuman abilities, advanced technology, magical spells, martial arts techniques, and more.
The tasks fall into two categories:
1. Reincarnation Mode:
In this mode, tasks typically have shorter time limits, ranging from days to a few months. Participants are rewarded upon completion, but failure often comes with severe consequences.
2. Conquest Mode:
These tasks are significantly more challenging and often bizarre. For instance, one task required participants to regrow the hair of a bald man named Saitama. On the surface, it sounded simple enough, but no one who accepted this task ever returned.
Unlike Reincarnation Mode, which allowed participants to use their physical abilities, Conquest Mode required them to enter the task world in their soul form.
Participants had to start from scratch, adapting to the task world's unique power system. Failure to adapt meant the mission was doomed.
Moreover, if the task's target died prematurely, the mission would automatically fail.
Because of these hurdles, Conquest Mode was largely abandoned by superhumans after an initial wave of interest.

The Perks of Conquest Mode
Despite its risks, Conquest Mode had unparalleled rewards. Successful participants gained unrestricted access to the task world, control over its resources, and the ability to integrate its power system into their own.
They also received titles such as "Destined Hero," granting them extraordinary luck and influence.
As a result, Reincarnation Mode was humorously nicknamed the "Employment Mode" by superhumans due to its relatively stable income and lower risks. Meanwhile, Conquest Mode earned the moniker "Entrepreneurial Mode" for its high-risk, high-reward nature.

Hearing Zhou Wu's explanations, Uchiha Yi couldn't help but smile. His curiosity about the Infinite Tower only deepened.
When Zhou Wu finished, he turned to Uchiha Yi. "Anything else you'd like to know?"
"No, this is great," Uchiha Yi replied. "Thanks for the detailed explanation, Brother Zhou."
