Chapter 2 - Eye of Insight

  Ye Bai barely had time to react before his consciousness was pulled into a pure white space.

  "First-time entry into the Eternal Tower detected. Please create your Eternal ID."

  "Asura."

  Without hesitation, Ye Bai provided the Eternal ID he had prepared in advance—Asura.

  Before entering the Eternal Tower, you can check if the ID is available to avoid duplication.

  Surprisingly, the name Asura was available, perhaps because the previous "Asura" had passed away.

  "Eternal ID creation successful..."

  "Please select a profession within the Eternal Tower."

  The main combat professions include: Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Archer, Mechanic, Knight, Priest, and others.

  Support and life professions were not within Ye Bai's consideration.

  Before transmigrating, Ye Bai had mastered lightning in the Summoner's Canyon, earning him the nickname "Net Cafe's Little Faker."

  Now, in the Eternal Tower, he unhesitatingly chose the profession he was most familiar with:

  "Mage!"

  "Detecting attributes..."

  "Synchronizing..."

  A translucent light blue panel appeared before Ye Bai, displaying some basic information.

  Ye Bai carefully read through each line:

  Eternal ID: Asura

  Talent: Eye of Insight (SSS Rank)

  Level: 1

  Profession: Apprentice Mage

  HP: 180/180

  MP: 190/190

  Strength: 9 (Affects physical damage)

  Intelligence: 9 (Affects mana capacity, magic damage)

  Spirit: 8 (Affects magic defense, mana recovery speed)

  Agility: 7 (Affects movement speed, dodge rate)

  Constitution: 8 (Affects health capacity, health recovery speed)

  Luck: 10

  Equipment: None

  Skills: None

  An SSS Rank talent, really?!

  [Absolutely genuine!]

  When Ye Bai's gaze fell on Luck, a small note appeared:

  [Lucky individuals can trigger hidden levels in the beginner's dungeon.]

  Ye Bai's spirits lifted.

  A Luck score as high as 10? Hidden levels?

  Ye Bai had perused a lot of information about the Eternal Tower but had never heard of hidden levels!

  This small note was the effect of the Eye of Insight.

  Closing the attribute panel, the basic five-dimensional attributes within the Eternal Tower were: Strength, Intelligence, Spirit, Constitution, Agility.

  Generally, initial attributes range between 1-10.

  Ye Bai's initial attributes were among the best, a typical pentagon warrior.

  As for Luck, as a special attribute, Ye Bai had never heard of anyone starting with 10 points!

  Most people generally have between 0-2.

  "Hidden levels, huh..."

  At the moment, Ye Bai's thoughts were entirely focused on the SSS Rank talent and the hidden levels!

  "The beginner's gift pack for the Eternal Tower has been issued!"

  "Would you like to open the beginner's gift pack?"

  "Yes!"

  A blinding light flashed, and three glowing orbs appeared before Ye Bai, accompanied by a prompt sound.

  "Please select one item from the three rewards as your beginner's reward."

  According to the guides Ye Bai had studied, the rewards in the beginner's gift pack generally fall into four categories:

  Gold Coins, Equipment, Skill Books, Special Items!

  The least useful among them is Gold Coins!

  Because after receiving the beginner's gift pack, you immediately enter the beginner's dungeon.

  There, Gold Coins are useless.

  If there's a handy piece of equipment, the dungeon rating will significantly increase, and the rewards will be exceptionally generous!

  As for Skill Books, their value depends on the skill's utility.

  Few people manage to obtain Special Items, so there's little information available online.

  "The guides say the beginner's gift pack is entirely a matter of luck, with no pattern to follow."

  Recalling the guides he had read, Ye Bai couldn't help but smile wryly.

  Over the past century, countless people have studied the Eternal Tower, compiling, decrypting, and summarizing information, only to conclude that it all becomes useless now.

  In Ye Bai's view, the three glowing orbs held no secrets at all!

  While others had to rely on luck for their choice, Ye Bai could see everything clearly with the Eye of Insight!

  Ye Bai's gaze swept from left to right.

  In the leftmost orb lay a staff, surrounded by lightning.

  Equipment: Grip of Thunder (LV.1)

  Grade: A Rank

  Attributes: Intelligence +5

  Lightning Arrow (LV1): Deals (50+1*Intelligence) lightning damage, 100% chance to cause a slowing effect, 33% chance to cause a paralysis effect.

  Entry: [Thunder Strike] Attacks or spells have a 5% chance to cause a paralysis effect.

  (Hidden Entry: [Destiny] Gains advancement after casting 100 lightning spells)

  An A Rank staff!

  Ye Bai's eyebrows twitched, feeling tempted.

  This equipment was perfect for Ye Bai at the moment!

  Equipment grades, like talents, have SSS Rank as the highest, followed by descending ranks.

  A dual-entry, upgradable A Rank staff would be worth over a million on the market!

  And it's not even available for sale!

  Enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment in Ye Bai's neighborhood!

  "Don't rush, stay calm!"

  Ye Bai didn't rush to make a choice.

  The Grip of Thunder was indeed powerful, but Ye Bai decided to check the other two rewards before making a decision, just to be sure!

  In the middle orb, a pile of golden coins formed a small mountain.

  "5000 Gold Coins!"

  Ye Bai's eyebrows twitched at the sight of the amount.

  The currency of the Eternal Tower can be exchanged with the real world on the Blue Planet.

  1 Gold Coin equals 1000 Dragon Kingdom currency!

  5000 Gold Coins, equivalent to 5 million!

  On the trading market, 5000 Gold Coins could even buy a piece of A+ grade high-level equipment!

  "Is this the joy of having 10 Luck?"

  Ye Bai didn't expect each reward in the beginner's gift pack to be better than the last.

  However, between 5000 Gold Coins and the Grip of Thunder, Ye Bai still leaned towards choosing the latter to arm himself as much as possible!

  Although it was a bit painful, reason told Ye Bai that money was useless in the beginner's dungeon!

  If the beginner's dungeon could achieve an A Rank or higher rating, the rewards Ye Bai would receive would far exceed the value of 5000 Gold Coins!

  Shifting his gaze from the pile of golden coins, Ye Bai looked at the last glowing orb.

  "This is?!"

  Ye Bai gasped, rubbing his eyes in disbelief:

  "Special Item: [Lightning Element]

  Effect: Upon use, gain +100% affinity with lightning elements, +100% mana recovery speed, and randomly learn three lightning skills."

  Without any hesitation, Ye Bai pointed directly at the last glowing orb.

  "Received beginner's gift pack reward: [Lightning Element]!"
