Greatest Streamer System-Chapter 298 - – Next Slate

The crossed sword mark was located 150 meters away from the previous lightning trial. Max already had an idea of what kind of trial and game they had to finish in order to get the next slate.

Following the animal trail proved to be the correct choice. All trails were connected from one mark to another. Choosing the straight path would only slow them down.

Unlike the lightning mark earlier, the double cross sword was pretty easy to spot.

"Whoa… This is amazing."

"Un. It looks like a pyramid without the tip."

What waited for them in the next mark was a large structure made from rock blocks, with stairs on each side heading to the top, which looked like a large square area. The crossed sword mark floated right above that square area.

There was nothing else around them, and the trial hadn't started yet, even when they got close to the building.

"It seems we need to go to the top and trigger the notification first." Max guessed based on the situation and his game knowledge.

"Maybe. Want to take a look?"

"Sure."

They began to climb the stairs slowly. There was no notification yet, so they proceeded to the top of the structure. When they reached the top, the structure suddenly shook as if an earthquake had shaken it.

"What the–?"

"Hya!" Lily lost her balance due to the unexpected shake, but Max was able to catch her and pulled her into an embrace.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Un. I am fine." She answered as she backed away.

— SHOW OFF!

— Tsk, should I take my voodoo doll back from the trash?

— Now I am considering getting a girlfriend too. Who wants to be with me? I am half as handsome as Breeze

— Cough, just half?

— Bro has no confidence lol

The shaking stopped after a few seconds. Max regained his composure and looked around. When he did that, he noticed that the stairs behind him were gone, and the structure became taller than before, jutting out to the sky like a tower.

Following that, the notification rang.

"I guess we can't turn back." He said as he peered down with Lily. "It's so high. Probably around 30 meters? We would die if we fell. Like… splat. Yeah, that's not a good idea."

"I don't want to be splattered."

"Right?" He said. freewebnoveℓ.com

He turned around and looked at the pedestal in the middle of the structure.

"And that's the slate we're searching for. Is it chicken?"

"Seems like so." Lily narrowed her eyes to look at it better, "Want to take it? There seems to be no trap."

"Well…" Max grinned and approached it slowly, "Only one way to find out."

He didn't want to rush this as he didn't know the rule yet.

Nothing happened even though he was already close to the pedestal. There was also no notification, which was slightly strange.

However, he soon realized the reason.

"There is something written here." Lily pointed out at the pedestal's body as she traced it with her fingers. "Help the chicken fly. Reach the ground safely with the slate. We believe that you can make our dream come true. What does that mean?" She looked at Max curiously.

"That means we're free to take the slate, but there will be obstacles that try to stop us." He answered and took the slate. "And when we do this…"

Rumble rumble–

The tower shook again. This time wasn't as bad as the first one.

Sreeech–

Following that, the sound of rocks scraping against each other could be heard closely. Max and Lily stepped back as they saw the pedestal got eaten by the tower. The ground under it moved, revealing a spiral staircase leading down the tower.

Torches were lit, giving the newly opened staircase an eerie feeling. The feeling it gave was like those of dangerous dungeons often found in fantasy games and fiction.

— Ooooh!

— That looks cool!

— Eerie spiral staircase. It undoubtedly will lead to the depth of hell

— From the looks alone, I can attest it's similar to a dungeon.

— So, can chicken fly or is it just a metaphor? They literally just need to walk down the stairs and reach the bottom?

— Darkness… This noble me loves darkness

— Blood God has detected many amounts of blood inside. HAHAHA OFFER THEM TO HIM! Only HIM can SAFE you

— But still… Isn't this too easy for them?

— Yeah… No one stops them from doing something else.

[ILoVeRocK has started a mission.]

[Stream Mission: Climb down the tower without going through the staircases.]

[Reward: 2,000 diamonds.]

— Bruh said 'Let me do it' in the most direct way.

Indeed. Their task was just to reach the ground safely. There was no rule that forced them to go through this spiral staircase that certainly would be filled with traps.

"Say…" Max looked at Lily and grinned, "Do you want to learn how to climb down a wall with small gaps?"

— As expected

— This crazy b4st4rd!

— He still prioritizes money over his lover!

— Still, can LilyPixel climb down the wall with him?

— You must be new. Lemme tell you a story…

— No need. LilyPixel can move as crazy as Breeze. She's that talented. They are just too scary

"Climb down the wall?" She asked with sparkling eyes, her interest was piqued. "Can we do that without any equipment?"

"We can. I will instruct you and use this chance to teach my chat, too."

"If you say so. Please teach me. It sounds… interesting."

"Alright. Let me show you how it's done, then."

Saying so, he went to the edge of the structure and looked down. It was a bit scary. Just thinking about what would happen if he felt adrenaline pumped into his blood. There was nothing more exciting than the thrill of the extreme sport.

'If only this is in real life…' He thought, but he immediately shook his head. 'No, I shouldn't do that. I will worry Lily if I do this in real life. Yes, the VR world is good enough.'

A shame, but he didn't want to risk it too much like in his past life. He was satisfied with his current life. Not to mention, there was also a VR world where he could experience everything with just a slight difference.

"First of all…" He spoke loudly to distract himself from useless thoughts and got into the real business. "Throw your bag down."

He threw his backpack without hesitation. It soared in the air and hit the ground with a thud. After it landed safely, Max looked at the camera and spoke.

"That's the first step. By calculating the weight and the speed of the bag, we know how tall this tower is. All equipment in the bag and the backpack itself is around 1 KG, and it reached the ground in less than 5 seconds. With the gravity being 10m/s, you can just count it yourself."

— Yeah, we don't know.

— Isn't that like around 50 meters?

— How can he calculate it like that? I mean, I am not confident saying my backpack is 1KG

— Tell us how you do it.

"It's easy." He smirked as he prepared to go down the tower. "I just lied to you guys."

— This MF

— WTF

— I trusted you!

— How could you betray us like this… I thought we were friends…

— Lying is easy. Indeed.

"Anyway, that is that, and this is this. You need to slowly grip the edge of the structure like this and lower your body. Let yourself hang for a few seconds and get comfortable with it."

Max moved as he explained how to do it to his viewers and Lily. He hung on the edge of the structure and looked up at Lily, who was peering at him.

"Do you think you can do it?"

Nodding, she replied, "I can try."
