From Resident Evil to becoming a gacha god

Chapter 89 The Witch's Tower

"President, 'assisting you in your cultivation' means..."

""

Xiao Miao frowned and asked. This matter was very serious and he had to find out the truth. He was an entertainer, not a prostitute. If he wanted a hot meal, that was a different price.

Jiang Yuyan gave Xiao Miao a reassuring look: "Don't be nervous, it will also benefit you. By absorbing this soul crystal, you will gain a talent recognized by the system, and then you will naturally understand everything."

Xiao Miao hesitated. Jiang Yuyan did not urge him, but waited quietly. Her expression seemed calm, but her red lips under the veil were slightly pursed.

A moment later, under Jiang Yuyan's gaze, Xiao Miao raised his hand and grasped the soul crystal, and a dialog box immediately popped up on the system interface.

[Ding! Unknown talent fragment detected. Absorb?]

It is indeed something that unlocks new talents.

Xiao Miao didn't know the price of this kind of thing, but it was definitely not cheap, and there was probably no market for it. The president of Yujiang Society was indeed a super rich woman.

Since it was something the system could detect and authenticate, there was no need to hesitate. Xiao Miao immediately... kicked the soul crystal into his pocket.

"Can I absorb it at home?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Yuyan's face, but she quickly regained her composure: "Of course, do as you please. Don't forget to collect the other rewards from room 702 before you leave."

"Hehe, what a president's attitude." Xiao Miao grinned. "Actually, I was just joking. This thing must be very expensive, with 'nn'..."

Going home is too unsafe, I'll absorb it now.

After saying that, Xiao Miao clicked to confirm, and the blue and white soul crystal turned into a beam of light and flew into Xiao Miao's mind.

Instead of the expected soul-tearing pain, Xiao Miao didn't even feel anything unusual. If it weren't for the fact that a new talent had indeed appeared on the system panel, he would have thought that the light he had just seen was an illusion.

[Talent: Witch's Tower - Challenger]

[Ability: Can challenge the Witch's Tower at any time]

The new talent's panel description was simple, but more information appeared out of thin air in Xiao Miao's mind. He instantly understood the general rules of the Witch's Tower, subconsciously activated the talent, and the scene before him suddenly changed.

The office has vanished, replaced by a tranquil forest in the night.

Xiao Miao showed no panic. He looked around with curiosity. According to the information from his talent, this should be the soul world called the [Witch's Tower].

My current body should also be a pure soul body.

Xiao Miao raised his hands in front of his eyes. To his surprise, his body was surprisingly solid, even though he had expected it to have a ghostly, illusory feel. He was still wearing his clothes, the same ones he always wore.

I pinched my arm; it was no different from any other flesh and blood.

Xiao Miao could even feel his heart pounding. He took a deep breath, and the cool night air of the forest rushed into his lungs, giving him a jolt of energy.

"It's no different from a real body—no, that's not right, there are differences!"

Xiao Miao clenched his fist, feeling his strength increase significantly. He jumped nearly two meters high with a single leap, and with one punch, the tree trunk cracked.

On second thought, this change is quite normal; my physical strength is only 10 points, while my soul strength is a full 15.

It's reasonable for someone to be quite powerful in the spiritual world.

"Let's get down to business first."

Xiao Miao stopped the experiment, looked up at the sky, and saw a full moon hanging in the night sky. The moon was very large, five to six times the size of the full moon in his previous life.

Under the moonlight, the towering Witch's Tower stands in the northwest corner of the forest, its top invisible, as if it were a passage connecting the forest and the full moon.

Xiao Miao walked through the forest, gradually approaching the giant tower, and more details came into view.

The tower is not constructed of ordinary bricks and stones; it is dark purple overall, with faint silver-gray patterns that are faintly visible on its surface, making it quite extraordinary.

The Witch's Tower is divided into countless layers, and instead of a gradually changing spindle-shaped structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, it is a regular cylindrical shape.

The old saying "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death" is true. The Witch's Tower seemed close at hand, but in reality, it required crossing most of the forest. Fortunately, Xiao Miao's soul body had strong basic qualities, and he successfully ran to the foot of the tower after a while.

The main entrance at the base of the tower is a towering, arched black stone gate, with a pattern of thorns entwined around a silver moon carved around its edge.

Xiao Miao placed his hands on the two massive black stone doors and gently pushed them, causing the doors to immediately begin to move.

It's not heavy; as long as your soul strength reaches 6 or 7 points, you can easily push open this door.

For Xiao Miao, who possesses 15 points of soul strength, pushing it away was incredibly easy.

With a slight exertion of both hands, the hinges of the door emitted a harsh, unpleasant friction sound, and the black stone door slowly opened inward.

The style inside the tower is exactly the same as the exterior. The ceiling of the first-floor hall is 5 meters high, and the floor is painted with a six-pointed star pattern with a huge number 10 written in the middle. Six thick pillars stand at the six points of the six-pointed star.

At the far end of the hall, there was a classic and ornate large bed; apart from that, there were no other decorations.

The challenger's talent information automatically appeared, allowing Xiao Miao to quickly understand the rules of the Witch's Tower.

Jiang Yuyan, the master of the Witch's Tower, is the tower's guardian, and Xiao Miao is the challenger. Each time Xiao Miao enters this space, he possesses 12...

After 12 hours of training, the challenger must duel the tower guardian.

The soul strength that the tower guardian can exert on each floor is fixed, with 10 points on the first floor. However, the soul strength of Challenger 1, Xiao Miao, is not limited by the Witch Tower.

The Witch's Tower has an extremely fast time flow, so fast that the real world is almost in a state of time stop, so there is no need to worry about your real body being harmed during the challenge.

Challengers who succeed in their challenges will be rewarded, while those who fail will be punished. The rewards and punishments for each level are fixed, but the specifics are not disclosed in the talent information, so Xiao Miao cannot guess them.

The Witch's Tower can be challenged once every 24 hours of real time.

"President, are you there...? Are you there...? Are you there...?"

Xiao Miao stood in the lobby and shouted, his voice echoing, but after a long while, there was no response.

As the master of the Witch's Tower, the president must have heard my shouts. The lack of response means he doesn't want to respond. It seems he plans to let me train for 12 hours first.

Let's practice, it's just 12 hours.

The Challenger's Talent comes with a set of cultivation techniques that are automatically integrated into one's instincts without needing to be learned. Xiao Miao walked to the classical bed, sat down, and began to cultivate cross-legged.

A force of attraction slowly spread out from Xiao Miao's body, and a moment later, a shimmering point of light flew into his body following the attraction.

Xiao Miao's spirits lifted, and he felt as if his soul strength had increased slightly. It wasn't an illusion; it really had!

The monotonous training room has become interesting!

Time flew by, and 12 hours later, Xiao Miao slowly opened her eyes.

[Ding, Soul Strength +1]

Current Soul Strength: 16

Each cultivation session increases one point of soul strength. In the real world, one can challenge once every 24 hours. That means that in the 15-day interval between two journeys through the heavens, one can increase one's soul strength by 15 points!

The president was right, it really is a good thing!

This wave is taking off!

"Tap, tap, tap~~~"

Footsteps echoed from the spiral staircase, and Xiao Miao rose to greet them.

Jiang Yuyan, the president of the society, slowly walked out of the stairs. Her clothes and appearance were exactly the same as in reality, the only difference being that she was carrying a blue sword.

"How does the cultivation feel?" Jiang Yuyan asked softly, her ethereal voice echoing within the tower, adding an air of otherworldly solitude.

Xiao Miao replied with a smile, "Not bad."

It was absolutely awesome!

Jiang Yuyan nodded: "Your soul strength has increased, right? That point of light you absorbed, I call it a spiritual particle. The concentration of spiritual particles is the lowest in the first layer, and it increases as you go higher, resulting in better cultivation effects, so..."

"6

With that, Jiang Yuyan casually twirled her sword: "Defeat me with all your might! The witch challenge officially begins!"

Xiao Miao looked at the long sword in the president's hand, and wanted to ask for one, but he swallowed the words back.

In the first layer, the president's strength was suppressed to 10 points of soul strength, while his own was 16 points of soul strength.

With 16 against 10, the advantage is in my hands!
