Book 6: Chapter 42

Jeffery was sitting on a piece of fluffy fur that had been draped over a block of ice, the structure acting as a couch. In his hands, there was a steaming mug of unknown liquid. From the way it smelled, Jeffery assumed it had some white-striped ant honey inside of it, but other than that, he really couldnt tell. It tasted sweet though, so he didnt complain. In fact, all he did was stare at the contents of the mug and wonder why he was here.

Around him, in a massive igloo that had grown even more from when it had first been formed, there were all kinds of furnishing: tables, chairs, desks, beds, couches. They were all made out of ice, and the furs had been taken out of Lindyss pocket. When Jeffery first saw a giant hide come out of Lindyss dress, he understood why the elf wasnt concerned about food or water or other supplies: she possessed an inventory item or inventory skill.

Of all the shelters he had stayed in, there was no doubt this one was the coziest. It wouldnt be a problem to survive the whole length of the advancement exam without ever leaving the igloo, but Jeffery knew that wasnt going to happen. No one enjoyed being confined in the same place for extended periods of time, and it was this one behavior of people that made Jefferys job so damn hard. If everyone would just sit on their asses and wait out the time, no one would get mauled by wild animals or trip on a root and break their leg or have a tree fall on top of them after chopping it down because they were morons.

Alright, the purple-eyed woman with horns said. Jeffery raised his head and saw she was talking to the shirtless man. Are you hungry? Should we eat something before we go exploring?

The shirtless man nodded. Eat first. Decide after.

I know this! the melon-shaped egg said while flashing in what Jeffery thought was a seizure-inducing manner. The first-floor unique hidden piece is one of the seven great mysteries of the tower! Every floor has a unique hidden piece, and when its claimed, the tower makes a grand announcement! The first floor is the floor with the most traffic, so youd expect the piece to be found by now, but it hasnt! No one knows what it is. Most people speculate its a skill because the majority of unique hidden pieces have granted skills. If you guys find it, and Im there to witness it, Ill be sure to experience a huge jump in my growth!

The purple-eyed demon blinked and glanced at Jeffery. He nodded to confirm the caterpillars words. For such a small creature, it certainly had a lot of information stored in it. The purple-eyed woman raised an eyebrow. You know where the unique hidden piece is?

Jeffery shook his head. If he knew, would he still be down here on the first floor? I dont, but Ive heard a lot of different rumors. Its beyond my capabilities to verify them though.

How do we want to search for it? the purple-eyed woman said, glancing at the members of her group before her gaze landed on Jeffery. Is the stage very large? Would it be better to split up or stick together while searching?

The stage is very large, Jeffery said and frowned. If you want a better shot at finding the unique hidden piece, itll be better if you split up. Im not sure how strong you folks are, but I sincerely doubt theres anything in the region that can threaten you. If you dont find the unique piece within the ninety-day period of the exam, you can always abandon it through your root bracelet at any time to remain eligible for readmission.
