Just call me Thor - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Same prompt
The chicken leg was placed in front of him, and Afterskin didn’t complain. He devoured it in a few bites, not even sparing the bone.

“Burp—”

Afterskin leaned against the wall, slowly stood up, and stretched.

“A little bland.”

Afterskin looked at Vladimir behind Mike and said with sincere blessings, “I hope you get diabetes.”

Vladimir: ???

Vladimir’s work schedule was very tight these days.

During the day, he was responsible for staying by Little Nine’s side, serving as a playmate, pillow, blanket, remote control, piggy bank…

At night, when Thor was exploring the Tower of Truth, Shadow Three would take care of Little Nine, and Vladimir would return to the private space, always ready for his master’s summons.

In other words, Vladimir was now working two jobs.

As a reward, Thor generously offered to double his base salary.

Vladimir excitedly ran to ask Dorian, the werewolf who handled payroll, only to be told:

“Since you’re a high-tier combatant, paying you a base salary would be an insult. So you only have monthly, quarterly, and annual bonuses.”

Vladimir was stunned on the spot.

Mike looked at Afterskin in front of him, confirming that this was the person he was looking for.

“Let’s go, I’m taking you on a quest as someone requested.”

Afterskin didn’t rush to respond, but said seriously, “Before we set off, there are some things I need to make clear. Ahem, I’m already plagued by misfortune, I’ll definitely be a burden to you.”

Mike nodded. “I know.”

Taking Afterskin, a walking bad luck charm, to challenge the 29th floor of the Tower of Truth and achieve an SSSS-level rating, that would truly showcase the meaning of the name Thor!

“The point is, I have nothing to repay you with.”

Afterskin emphasized, “Everything I give away carries bad luck, even a copper coin…”

Mike said generously, “It’s okay, I never do good deeds for money, I’m not interested in your money!”

Vladimir and Ace: ???

“Thank you.”

With that said, Afterskin had nothing more to be pretentious about.

He looked at Ace, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. “Did Calderon really succeed?”

“Succeed my ass!”

Ace’s words were incredibly foul.

“The Archdemon is still alive and kicking. What’s the difference between that old geezer and a useless piece of trash? He couldn’t even kill the Archdemon efficiently.”

Mike glanced at Ace. So you’re saying you’re very brave?

Next time, he would send Ace directly to the Archdemon and let him show off his foul mouth again?

Mike had reason to believe that Ace would actually dare to do it, but he would probably die a horrible death.

Afterskin nodded slightly, looked at Mike, and chuckled. “This guy is even more annoying than me. You’re going to have a hard time this time.”

Mike shook his head. “It’s no trouble at all.”

As long as Foreskin paid him extra afterwards!

As for Afterskin’s reward, forget it.

Afterskin took a step forward, but the stone brick under his foot suddenly crumbled, revealing the void.

He stumbled, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, Mike was quick-witted and grabbed Vladimir, throwing him over to serve as a cushion for Afterskin, preventing him from falling to his death.

Vladimir, sprawled on the ground, had the void in front of him and Afterskin behind him.

At the same time, Mike took two steps back and looked at the spot where Afterskin had fallen.

“This is…”

“A small damage caused by a void fragment disintegrating the space of the Core City of Truth.”

Ace said slowly, “This kind of thing has happened no more than three times in the past three hundred years.”

Mike fell silent upon hearing Ace’s explanation.

Was Afterskin really that unlucky?

“It’s okay, just a minor issue.”

Afterskin, getting up from Vladimir, took out his broken fan and waved it a couple of times. The spot where the fragment had appeared was slowly repaired.

At the same time, a void fragment appeared in Afterskin’s hand.

As the embodiment of misfortune, when bad things happened, he also received some compensation.

For example, the void fragment in his hand at this moment.

Afterskin looked around and found that no one wanted it.

Although it was a good item, the bad luck it carried was too much.

Anything associated with Afterskin was truly unlucky.

“Well, I’ll just have to find a way to give it to a demon god again.”

Afterskin smiled and put it away.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time he had done this.

“I’m ready!”

The three of them gathered. Without further ado, they set off immediately.

They had no more preparations to make.

Afterskin’s talent would be nullified upon entering the 29th floor, making him completely useless.

Ace was a brute, there was nothing to prepare for.

Just charge ahead.

As for Mike, he had already made all the preparations.

Mike summoned the Truth Core Crystal.

Since they were challenging the floor as a team, as the leader, the other members needed to use his Truth Core Crystal to enter the corresponding floor of the Tower of Truth.

Three hands touched the Truth Core Crystal at the same time. Afterskin only used one finger, to avoid transferring too much bad luck.

Mike entered the corresponding floor number: 29th floor!

A flash of lightning and two flashes of white light, and the familiar prompt sounded in their ears simultaneously.

“Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!”

…

Tower of Truth, 29th floor.

The three figures appeared at the same time.

“Did you hear that?”

Afterskin and Ace exchanged glances, understanding the meaning in each other’s eyes.

They were both meticulous individuals, veterans from the first generation of human powerhouses.

The only difference was that Afterskin was stuck on the 29th floor, while Ace was a residual will split from Calderon.

Their current strength was indeed lacking.

But their vision was extraordinary.

Afterskin and Ace knew many secrets that Mike didn’t.

Afterskin started to say, “Back then, you…”

But Ace interrupted him.

“Back then, it was the old geezer, Morpheus, Nathan, and Cedric, the four of them cleared this floor together.”

Hearing this, Afterskin didn’t show any surprise and continued naturally, “Oh.”

This piqued Mike’s interest, and he looked at the two of them.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Calderon, Morpheus, Nathan, and Cedric, these four were among the first generation of human powerhouses.

It was reasonable for them to clear the floor together.

“Nothing.”

Both of them shook their heads at the same time, and Ace added, “I hate it when he lumps me together with the old geezer.”

Although Mike felt that there was something strange about them, he didn’t delve deeper and instead shifted his attention to the 29th floor.

“Alright, let’s focus and start the challenge!”

Behind Mike, Ace and Afterskin exchanged glances again.

Ace nodded slightly, his meaning clear:

“Back then, when old Calderon and Morpheus teamed up to challenge the 29th floor…”

“They also heard the same prompt!”

That sentence…

Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!
