Main Text Volume Chapter 186 Shortening the Gap

Angel also decided to make a music box on a whim. 『

Seeing Toby's pleading expression, he couldn't help but think of Graya. Because he had concealed the truth from Toby, he felt a little ashamed. He simply gave Toby a promise in exchange for the music box. It was a reassurance for the future that might be discovered by Toby.

Toby didn't know what a "music box" was. But he knew that Angel knew alchemy, so his eyes were immediately filled with expectation and joy. Even the echo flower that he cherished most on weekdays couldn't wait to push it to Angel.

Angel came to the laboratory with two echo flowers.

Music boxes, I don't know if there are Angels in other places, but in the Goldfinch Empire, they have always been a noble product among musical crafts. Although limited by backward technology, the scale played is too harsh and monotonous, but it is full of style and very popular among the nobles.

Angel once had a music box, which was given to him by Jon on his fifth birthday. The melody played in it was Happy Birthday. When he was a child, Angell liked this song very much and played it over and over again, but after going to Watford to listen to the concerts of the masters, he looked down on the simple scale of the music box.

However, it must be said that even if the monotonous metal collision sound of the music box is a bit harsh, it is still an indelible memory of Angell's childhood. Looking back now, the concert is indeed high-end, but the simple and melodious music of the music box is the most beautiful memory of those years.

The music box that Angell made for Toby was to perfectly restore all the scales, so he did not want the final product to become the monotonous scale of the music box, so he chose to use echo flowers as materials, which was his idea.

However, there was no music box in the alchemy book he obtained. The only music box drawing he had was the 3D printed atlas that Jon had stored in the holographic tablet. Angell did not intend to make a traditional music box, so he had to modify and recreate the drawing.

How to use the echo flower in the music box, how to avoid the defect of the echo flower recording once, these are the problems he needs to solve.

In addition, Angel actually has a little ambition.

He made the music box, even if it was a temporary idea, he wanted to do the best. Although the music box has a single function, he also wants to play some tricks.

He had only forged alchemical weapons before, and he had never touched other types of alchemical props. The music box is his new attempt, and it is also a stepping stone to open up his mind and let the alchemical road go further.

It can make Toby happy and exercise alchemical skills, so why not do it.

...

Angel did not start making the music box immediately. He still had a lot of things to do, and the one and a half month period was about to pass. When the news of the purification garden spread, masters poured into the Sky Tower, and it would be even more difficult for him to reach the top. So his main focus is still on climbing the tower. Only before resting every night, he has time to take out the alchemy book, study the characteristics of the echo flower, the choice of other materials, and redraw the map of the music box.

The days are spent in fulfillment.

A week later, Angel was promoted to the 5th floor.

These days, even if he won with rogue methods, his combat experience is getting richer and richer. How to avoid damage, how to accurately release tricks, when to attack and when to play defensive counterattacks, he has his own judgment, even if it is a little immature, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as more experience is accumulated, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes.

At present, Angel has not lost a game, but the promotion is still too slow.

If Butler Good is not wrong, the news of the purification garden will spread in less than a month. And he is currently only on the 5th floor.

The Sky Tower has 15 floors, and there are still 10 floors to the top. According to the speed of these days, it is obviously beyond the ability to reach the top before the news spreads.

How to improve the speed of climbing the tower? This is the problem that Angel is considering.

Shorten the time of playing against the players? When Angel was playing against the opponent, basically each game lasted no more than 5 minutes, so no matter how much he shortened the game, it would not increase the efficiency much.

What slowed down the tower climbing speed was actually the long intervals between games.

After each game, if you want to continue the game, the Sky Tower will considerately give the players half an hour to prepare. For others, this is a very considerate design, but for Angel, this half an hour of preparation time is the key to slowing down his tower climbing.

On the day when Angel climbed to the fifth floor, he found the staff at the lottery office and asked if there was any way to shorten the waiting time. It would be best not to wait and go directly to the stage.

The staff was obviously stunned by Angel's words. He had worked here for so many years, and this was the first time someone made such a request.

"Mr. Milk Baron, this is the requirement of the Sky Tower Management Office, and we cannot change it for you." When the staff said this, he looked at Angel with a speculative look. Is this Milk Baron very short of money? Or does he like to abuse his opponents? So he wants to play faster? But the staff checked the data and found that none of Angel's opponents died, and even very few were injured, which is extremely rare in the Sky Tower Arena.

If it's not this reason, what else could it be? Could it be that he wanted to reach the top of the 15th floor quickly? If he followed the steps, he would reach the top eventually, so why rush?

The staff obviously didn't know about the Purification Garden. There was no other benefit to climbing the Sky Tower except getting a ticket to the Infinite Battle Tower. Many people would even deliberately suppress their level to avoid being tortured to death by perverts at the top. They came to the Sky Tower for money or combat experience, so there was no need to go to the top to die.

Unless... Angel was a fearless battle maniac? Thinking of this possibility, the staff looked at Angel with more respect. There were many battle maniacs in the Sky Tower. Many of the players on the last three floors were battle maniacs, but most of them were wizard apprentices on the bloodline side. A battle maniac on the non-bloodline side was extremely rare.

"Is there really no way?" Angel's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Seeing Angel's disappointed expression, the staff was more certain that the other party was a battle maniac. The Sky Tower highly respected battle maniacs. As long as there were battle maniacs, there would be no fear that no one would come to watch the game.

The staff thought for a while: "How about this, you go to the management office to ask Director Melansha. If she agrees, then there is no problem."

After thanking the staff, Angel went down from the fifth floor to the first floor.

The Sky Tower Management Office is on the first floor. It was the place where Angel registered.

When he arrived at the management office, Angel asked the staff about Melantha. After explaining his purpose, the staff seemed to misunderstand that Angel was a battle maniac, so they asked Angel to wait at the management office and left to find Melantha.

After a while, someone pushed open the door of the management office.

Angel looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door. She was wearing a tight black uniform, with her head piled high and a serious look on her face.

The middle-aged woman was stunned when she saw Angel. Angel's reaction was the same as hers.

"Hello, I am Melantha Yada, the director of the Sky Tower Management Office." The middle-aged woman's identity was obvious. The serious expression on her face was replaced by a faint smile, and she walked in front of Angel.

This middle-aged woman, Angel had seen before, was in the lottery area on the first floor. She was responsible for registration and recording the lottery box. Angel always thought she was a staff member on site, but she didn't expect that she was the director of the Sky Tower Management Office.

"Director Melantha, I am..."

"Milk Baron, I know." Melantha seemed to smile very little. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which also had a bit of forced meaning: "A lot of people are paying attention to you. It's been a long time since I met a player who advanced as quickly as you."

Angel felt a little embarrassed. He was actually a little uncomfortable to advance by rogue methods.

Melantha seemed to see his embarrassment through Angel's black robe, and did not greet him again, but went straight to the point: "I heard from your subordinates that you want to reduce the interval time between consecutive games?"

Angel nodded: "Is it okay?"

Melantha did not answer yes or no, but asked with interest: "I am actually very curious, why do you want to do this? If it is to make money, it is faster for you to use your weapons to go to the mission hall to accept the mission. As for the saying that you are a battle maniac..." Melantha paused, seemed to know Angel very well, and said firmly: "I don't believe it."

"So, can you tell me the reason?"

Melantha's eyes were inquiring.

Angel thought for a moment and said, "I want to reach the top as soon as possible."

Melantha's face flashed with understanding, and she smiled and said, "You want to reach the top within a month?"

Angel did not tell Melantha the one-month deadline, but Melantha directly told her the exact time. It was obvious that Melantha knew about the opening of the Purification Garden.

"Yes."

Melantha: "Then I understand. Are you here to purify the garden?"

"That's right." Angel also admitted it.

Melantha nodded, but did not say yes or no. She just looked at Angel and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so well-informed." Then, Melantha said, "But I can tell you that it will be difficult for you to push to the 15th floor with the alchemical weapon on your wrist. The players on the last three floors will be more powerful than you can imagine, and there may even be danger of death."

Angel did not express his opinion on this, but he snorted in his heart: "He has a secret weapon."

Melantha stopped talking and did not ask Angel what secret weapon he had. Since he insisted on competing, she did not say more.

"Okay, I can change the interval time to 5 minutes. But I want to remind you that once it is changed, even if you reach the last three levels, you will still have to play continuously for 5 minutes. Are you sure you want to change it?"

Angel said without hesitation: "Yes!"
