"Is there anyone sitting here with you?"
Alex looked at the cold woman staring down at him while asking a question.
Without doubt, Alex heard what she said when she was still standing at the entrance.
Not wanting other custors to be shooed, she decided to just look for a seat and share a table with a stranger.
For that, Alex can't help but have a good impression of this genius girl.
Unexpectedly, the target that she found was actually his table.
Thinking of it, a genius girl sitting with him, it's quite… normal.
Alex didn't take this so-called genius at heart.
For him, genius or not, they are all just the sa.
What he should focus on is making him stronger and stronger.
Anyway, feeling Elisa staring at him, Alex shook his head and said, "No, there's no one there."
"Then, can I sit with you?"
"Sure, go ahead."
With Alex's approval, Elisa finally sat down on the chair opposite of him and said, "Thanks."
After that, Elisa called a server and ordered so food.
When the server left, Elisa had nothing else to do and was planning to close her eyes while waiting.
However, when she rembered that there's a stranger with her, she thought for a second before introducing herself.
"Thank you for letting sit here. My na is Elisa Flores, pleased to et you."
She said, stretching out her hand to Alex.
Alex smiled and responded, "I'm Zero."
He grabbed her hand and shook it before imdiately letting go.
That action caused Elisa to raise an eyebrow.
Normally, when she's shaking hands with other people whether they are a man or a woman, they always like holding her hand for an extended period of ti.
Because of that, she actually doesn't like shaking hands with other people.
Unexpectedly, here in a restaurant that she took a fancy in.
She t a man who doesn't seem to care about her at all.
But she didn't care much about it and just honestly waited for her food to arrive.
Less than five minutes later, the food they ordered arrived at the sa ti.
When they saw the food they each ordered, Elisa and Alex looked at each other.
Surprisingly, they ordered exactly the sa thing.
Stir fried vegetables, Pancit canton, Beef Stew, etc.
Alex was the first one to speak.
With a smile, he said, "Looks like we share the sa taste with food, huh."
Hearing his words, a slight smile also appeared on Elisa's face as she said, "It seems like that's the case, Mr. Zero."
After a small conversation, the two started eating their food.
Elisa ate her food while maintaining proper etiquette. Her elegance didn't diminish one bit while eating.
As for Alex, he didn't really care about such things but you can still see that he is very clean.
10 minutes later, Alex finished eating.
Taking a gold coin from his inventory, Alex placed it on the table and stood up.
Seeing his movents, Elisa looked at him and asked, "Are you leaving now, Mr. Zero?"
To that, Alex nodded, "Yes, I still have sothing to do so I have to leave now."
"Understood, please take care on your way."
"Yes, thank you." Alex said, "Please continue enjoying your al."
After saying that, Alex headed out of the restaurant without looking back.
Once outside, Alex smiled and said, "Now then, ti to head to the Trial Tower!"
After picking up Ferri from the stables, the two of them directly headed towards the Trial Tower.
When they arrived at the periphery of the tower, Alex noticed that a lot of guards wearing heavy armor were standing around it.
"Hmm, so the Trial Tower is really heavily guarded, huh."
"Well, that makes sense. After all, it is necessary for players to breakthrough and advance their Tier."
Soon, Alex and Ferri approached one of the guards.
When those guards saw them going near them, they loudly said, "Halt!"
Imdiately, their movents ca to a pause.
Seeing that, those guards relaxed and asked, "State your purpose!"
Without saying anything, Alex took out his guild card and showed it to them.
The guards looked at it carefully.
When they saw that he was a level 25, they finally let down their guard and said,
"Okay, enter the tower and make sure to not forget about writing your na on the stone list at the entrance."
After saying that, they once again turned silent and just focused on guarding the tower.
Alex turned his eyes to Ferri and said, "Ferri, wait for to finish the trial here. It won't take long."
Ferri whimpered after hearing that and rubbed his head on Alex's.
After rubbing Ferri's head for a while, Alex finally turned around and entered the Trial Tower.
Just as Alex entered, he saw a huge stone monunt that had countless nas written on it.
"This should be the stone the guard was talking about."
"But, how am I going to write down my na there?"
After thinking about it, Alex shrugged and approached the stone.
Instinctively, Alex thought of touching the tone and so, he did.
That's when a system notification appeared.
[Ding!]
[It was detected that you're challenging the Trial Tower, would you like to write down your na on the stone monunt?]
[Yes / No]
Seeing that, Alex paused for a second before pressing the 'Yes' button.
For a mont, Alex saw the stone monunt glowed lightly.
It died down not even a second later and Alex didn't see any changes on the stone.
"Hmm, I wonder what's the purpose of this stone."
Curiously, Alex started looking carefully at the stone and noticed that beside the nas, there was sothing else written on it.
The floors!
After seeing that, Alex finally got a preliminary guess as to what the stone monunt's purpose is.
Rubbing his chin, Alex said, "From this, it seems like this stone monunt records the final floor that challengers achieve in the Trial Tower."
A smiled suddenly crept up his lips and he said, "I wonder if it's connected to all the other Trial Tower."
