Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 48

This was simple for Lu Ran.

He couldn’t even be bothered to check what the boss was on Floor 54.

He entered, immediately threw a [Blood Spear], gained the experience, and then exited.

The three people outside were still watching the global Endless Tower rankings.

Sure enough, the moment Lu Ran exited, the ranking changed again.

He was already in twelfth place!

“Not bad, looks like he’s about to break into the top ten,” Ye Hongyi said with satisfaction.

Only Lei Tai had a strange expression on his face.

He grumbled, “Yeah, this kid is about to enter the top ten, which means I’m about to enter the top ten too! I’ve been trying for nearly half a year without managing to climb even one more floor! Damn it!”

Right above Lu Ran was Lei Tai, currently in eleventh place.

Although Lei Tai had cleared Floor 55, his time was the slowest among the few who had cleared it, so he was ranked last.

But even that was quite an achievement.

After all, Lei Tai wasn’t a pure damage class; he was a tank!
His damage output wasn’t particularly strong. Being able to bulldoze his way up to Floor 55 was pretty much his limit.

Unless Lei Tai leveled up to 65, unlocking new skills, or obtained new gear—like the equipment from the Black Dragon raid—he had little hope of challenging higher floors.

But leveling was incredibly difficult and slow at this stage!
And obtaining Black Dragon Mountain range equipment was currently impossible.

Furthermore, even if Lei Tai eventually gained levels, unlocked new skills, and acquired better gear…

Other players wouldn’t be standing still either. Lei Tai would be lucky just to maintain his current ranking.

“Let’s go, time to eat,” Liu Xinxin said contentedly.

Back in the dungeon hall.

The crowds coming and going all stopped in their tracks, staring uniformly at the global Endless Tower rankings.

“See? I told you that Necromancer expert wouldn’t just stop there.”

“He’s already on Floor 54? Good heavens, is he even a Necromancer?”

“Two floors in one day? As regular as clockwork?”

“I suspect this expert is doing it on purpose!”

“On purpose, my foot! If you could challenge a higher floor, would you just hold back? He’s definitely trying constantly, and today he just happened to get lucky and climb another floor.”

“If this expert clears another floor tomorrow morning, I’ll livestream myself eating sh*t!”

“I advise him to stop. He might die on one of those attempts.”

…

Elsewhere.

At the Chinashi Shrine in Japan.

Nanaise was in a very bad mood!

Her attempts to trade with the Americans kept hitting a wall. She was willing to pay, but the Americans weren’t willing to sell!

After all, at this critical juncture, supplying other countries with Black Dragon Mountain range equipment could significantly impact the upcoming Nation Wars.

Their willingness to deal with Yu Cangqiong was solely because they coveted Hades’s Crystal Skull!
Left with no other choice, Nanaise could only try to challenge the Black Dragon Mountain range herself, still on the easiest, Normal difficulty.

But once again, she returned defeated.

This time, her fifty-person team lost over thirty members, suffering even heavier losses than previous attempts!
Looking at the battered, disheartened remnants of her team,

Nanaise was frantic with frustration.

“Reorganize the team. We try again tomorrow. Before the Nation Wars begin, we must conquer the Black Dragon Mountain range, no matter what!” Nanaise said sharply.

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone’s faces grew even grimmer.

This bitch made it sound so easy. She stayed safely in the back dealing damage, with several healers dedicated solely to keeping her alive,

while the other team members died miserable deaths!

Trying again was fine for her, but it was the other members who would pay the price!
But in Japan, no one dared to defy Nanaise’s orders. They could only assent.

Just then, a maid chose the worst possible moment to approach.

“That Necromancer… just after 6 PM, challenged another floor. He cleared Floor 54. He’s now ranked twelfth,” the maid reported cautiously.

Already irritable, Nanaise nearly lost her temper on the spot!
“That Necromancer again? So what if he cleared Floor 54? He cleared one floor in the morning, one in the evening… taking a whole day just to clear one floor. Why is that even worth reporting?” Nanaise scolded.

But as she said this, Nanaise herself suddenly paused.

Something felt odd.

Usually, for other players, getting stuck in the Endless Tower meant truly being stuck. It wasn’t about skill, but pure numbers: equipment, level, and skill damage scaling.

If you couldn’t beat it, you couldn’t beat it!

It wasn’t something you could just luck your way through by trying repeatedly.

Once might be luck. But twice? Three times?

This Necromancer had been clearing a floor every now and then these past couple of days, one in the morning, one in the evening, like clocking in and out of work. What did he think the Endless Tower was? A game he could play like that?

The maid, having been reprimanded, didn’t dare make a sound.

Nanaise forcibly suppressed her anger and said sternly, “Tomorrow morning, if that Necromancer clears another floor, report it to me immediately. As for the rest of you, prepare the equipment, consumables, team composition strategy, and grouping plan. Have it on my desk tonight. We try the Black Dragon Mountain range again tomorrow. That’s all!”

Having said that, Nanaise turned and left.

The remaining shrine members sighed heavily behind her.

This Nanaise was getting crazier and crazier!

Early the next morning.

Lu Ran met up with the three guild leaders. The moment they arrived at the dungeon hall, he headed straight for the Endless Tower to register, ‘clock in’, casually tossed a [Blood Spear] that had been charging all night, killed the Floor 55 boss, and came out.

It was as easy as drinking water.

Lu Ran’s spell power wasn’t extremely high yet, but with a charged [Blood Spear], he could currently one-shot everything in the Endless Tower.

There was absolutely no suspense!

The news, of course, reached Japan immediately.

Nanaise had spent the early morning reorganizing her fifty-member raid team, checking the roster, verifying groups, class composition, and consumable supplies.

But throughout the process, she felt restless, as if a thorn was stuck in her heart that she couldn’t swallow or pull out.

As the team was nearly ready to depart,

Nanaise took a deep breath to calm herself, pushing all thoughts of that Necromancer from her mind.

She stepped forward, ready to lead the team out.

But at that very moment, the maid came scurrying over with quick, light steps.

The moment she saw the maid appear, Nanaise’s liver trembled.

She wasn’t in the habit of using communicators for non-urgent matters; she usually insisted on receiving notifications in person.

But now, she found herself resenting this rule.

“Master…” The maid looked uneasy, unsure if she should even speak.

“Don’t panic. Speak slowly. What is it?” Nanaise forced a faint smile, pretending to be calm.

“That Necromancer… cleared Floor 55. He’s now… tenth place. The dungeon hall is in an uproar. Probably every player worldwide is watching that Necromancer now,” the maid said, gritting her teeth.

Nanaise’s expression froze instantly.

That guy… he really cleared another floor!
“What time did he clear it? What was his clear time?” Nanaise asked flatly.

“8:30 AM, the same time as yesterday. As for the clear time… there are three people who have cleared Floor 55 now, including him. He still has the fastest time,” the maid replied.
