Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 469 - 333: Clearing the Stage, Dumbo

With this feeling of disappointment, he walked out of the current passage and entered the external lobby connected by the passage.

This was a rather spacious and bright place, with smooth white stone slabs underfoot that were as reflective as mirrors. Hundreds of vigorously burning candles were hanging overhead. Apart from the three tightly closed doors, the surrounding was lined with transparent crystal windows, and a small flying elephant with a comically long nose was slowly flying toward him.

"Congratulations! Adventurer! You have successfully passed one of the high tower’s tests!"

The fair-skinned little flying elephant showed no fear of strangers. As soon as it saw Wang Zhifan enter the lobby, it flew to a spot about two meters away from him, hovering at eye level and greeting him with an enthusiastic and shrill voice.

Seeing how the little elephant blended so well with the lobby, Wang Zhifan guessed it must be the tower’s administrator or an attendant of some sort.

"Thank you... but your test was way too short. I only cleared five levels in total. This tower definitely has more than five levels. That’s cutting corners."

He shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction on the spot, saying he didn’t get enough enjoyment and wasn’t very happy with the play.

"Adventurer, that’s because the strength you displayed far exceeded the standards of the floors. The tower allowed you to skip the meaningless test segments."

The slightly comical little flying elephant replied without hesitation, refuting the claim of cutting corners.

"Alright... can I ask where the Demon King is?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Wang Zhifan didn’t dwell on the tower’s issues any further; he remembered his main purpose for coming.

Upon hearing this topic, the little flying elephant immediately shook its head, its slender nose swaying in the air.

"I’ve been in this tower since reaching adulthood and haven’t seen any outside creatures for too long, so I couldn’t possibly know where that guy is."

It spoke with a calm tone, not considering the Demon King a big deal.

"Alright then, what should I do now, leave this tower?"

Not surprised by the answer, Wang Zhifan turned his gaze to the three doors not far away.

But the little flying elephant shook its head again, responding:

"Adventurer, those aren’t exit doors; they’re where you claim your rewards for this climb. It seems your luck is quite good; there’s even a golden door."

"Do I have as many doors as I have keys...?"

Wang Zhifan remembered only then that he hadn’t yet used the keys he acquired in the tower, realizing they were intended for the reward phase.

He closely examined the three doors, noting that although they appeared similar overall, one lock was made of black-grey iron, another of yellow-green bronze, and the last of golden gold, each corresponding to all the keys in his possession.

"I wonder if the rewards inside can be stored in my portable space."

What Wang Zhifan was most concerned about was whether the rewards could be taken with him; otherwise, no matter how good the rewards were, he could only use them within the dungeon and not transport them outside.

Considering that the reward behind the golden door must be the best, he first approached the door with the golden lock, corresponding to the golden key, and retrieved the respective key from his pocket to unlock it.

Pushing open the golden door, he found the space inside wasn’t large, with only a weapon rack and a clothing rack.

The weapon rack held a massive black greatsword. The broad blade looked extremely heavy and formidable, with a row of red gemstones inlaid on the hilt, adding a unique charm to the heaviness, signaling to anyone that this weapon was no ordinary item.

The clothing rack had a gray cloak hanging on it. It appeared thin and supple, looking like it could fly away with the wind and wasn’t very eye-catching, but Wang Zhifan’s sharp senses told him it similarly contained potent mysterious power.

"How come there’s still no information available? How am I supposed to know how to use these two pieces of equipment?"

The most frustrating thing for Wang Zhifan was that despite obtaining two high-quality pieces of equipment, these items didn’t seem like normal dungeon rewards, lacking any item descriptions, which significantly dampened his excitement from receiving them.

"Do you know what special attributes this greatsword and this cloak have?"

Unable to figure it out himself, Wang Zhifan turned to ask the little flying elephant outside the door, hoping it could provide an answer since it was native to the place.

But once again, it disappointed him, responding nonchalantly:

"Adventurer, this is also my first time seeing these two powerful pieces of equipment. I don’t know more about them than you do; you should consult an appraiser to answer this question."

"Really... then what exactly is your role here if you don’t know anything I ask?"

Feeling a bit annoyed by the little guy, Wang Zhifan responded with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

But the little flying elephant didn’t get angry at all and instead shook its head, wagging its slender nose as it replied:

"I’m merely a witness of the tower, responsible only for welcoming adventurers and seeing them off, and am not involved in anything else."

"Alright, alright... once I finish opening the doors, hurry and send me away."

Feeling exasperated by its explanations, Wang Zhifan wore a helpless expression as he stepped out and retrieved the appropriate keys to open the bronze and black iron doors as well.

Inside the bronze door was a silver ring, whereas the black iron door contained a wooden pitchfork, the items’ quality not even remotely comparable to those from the golden door.

Wang Zhifan pocketed the ring from the bronze door and discarded the pitchfork, then returned to the golden door to pick up the black greatsword and gray cloak.

The weight of the black greatsword was impressively heavy, easily tipping the scale at a hundred pounds, but for the powerful Wang Zhifan, that wasn’t a problem. Only its massive size made it tricky to carry comfortably.

"Adventurer, is your Space Ring full? Why don’t you store them in it?"

The little flying elephant, observing throughout, was puzzled and questioned him as he prepared to leave carrying the greatsword in hand.

It had long noticed items disappearing from Wang Zhifan’s hands out of thin air and, seeing the high-quality rings he wore, assumed he definitely possessed a Space Ring.

"Yes, there’s no more room. Several of my rings don’t have spatial capabilities; they look good but aren’t useful."

Not providing more detail, Wang Zhifan gestured with his eyes for it to quickly do its job and send him out of this high tower.

"I’ll take you to the gate at the base of the tower... but one last thing, do you need a ring transformation service? I can help you convert a ring into a Space Ring, though it’s not free."

The little flying elephant tentatively asked as a final note.

"You have such a powerful ability? What do you need as payment?"

Wang Zhifan showed a hint of surprise, looking at the little guy that had initially seemed unreliable to him.

"Food! Any delicious food!"

The little flying elephant’s response once again surprised Wang Zhifan since it didn’t propose any harsh demands.

"I’ve got plenty of food here. Have a look and see if any suit your taste."

Since this could yield an unexpected benefit, Wang Zhifan was willing to give it a try.

He quickly took out his stock of ingredients from what he called his Space Ring, mostly prepared foods from the Wuji Sect World and natural ingredients from Gaia Planet, all of which were delectable in his opinion.

The little flying elephant saw him produce a food box and some strange fruits it had never seen before. It lifted its long nose to sniff them, soon choosing the Sweet Fruit from Gaia Planet.

Instead of eating the fruit immediately, it accepted the Sweet Fruit, making it vanish into thin air before asking Wang Zhifan which ring he wanted to be transformed.

"Transform this one for me."

Without much thought, Wang Zhifan removed a sapphire ring from his finger. In fact, this was his long-worn rare-grade Sea God Meditation Ring, capable of speeding up the recovery of life and extraordinary energy. Among all the rings he wore, it currently had the lowest grade and practical value, so he was willing to experiment with it, feeling it wouldn’t matter much if it ended up becoming useless.

"Alright, I’ll help you turn it into a Space Ring, large enough to hold what you carry."

The little flying elephant picked up the sapphire ring Wang Zhifan handed over with its nose, immediately assuring him, yet if one looked closely, they could see a peculiar excitement hidden in its eyes.
