Just call me Thor

Chapter 17: 100% Exploration Rate Guide

"Team up?" Mike frowned slightly, ready to decline.

He had awakened an SSS-level talent, and just clearing the beginner's instance had caused a storm, stirring up all sorts of trouble. His identity as Thor had to remain a secret until he grew stronger. Therefore, he needed to avoid contact with others, especially someone like Jessica, who was the center of attention.

"No thanks, I prefer to go solo," Mike said.

Jessica wasn't surprised by the rejection. She was well aware that in the eyes of others, she was just an F-level nobody-a drag on any team, a burden.

Cain, worried that Jessica might misunderstand, quickly explained, "Mike doesn't even team up with me. He said he's planning to tackle the second level of the Tower of Truth today."

Everyone in the class knew about Cain and Mike's relationship. If even Cain couldn't team up with Mike, it meant Mike was definitely not lying.

In fact, Mike had no reason to lie. Whether Jessica was an S-level or an F-level talent, teaming up with Mike meant she'd win without lifting a finger; she wouldn't need to do anything.

"Thank you," Jessica said, bowing slightly to Mike again before pulling out a scroll. "This is a map of the Tower of Truth, from the first to the tenth floor, collected by my grandfather. It includes monster spawn locations, monster information, and even records of many hidden quests..."

Jessica hadn't finished speaking when Cain's eyes locked onto the scroll, his mouth almost watering. What a treasure!

He loved collecting all sorts of information, especially knowing the importance of maps. This item was priceless, something ordinary people couldn't buy.

Unabashedly, the scroll in Jessica's hands was worth over a million dollars!

Cain gave Mike a meaningful look, signaling him to accept it. Mike felt a bit helpless; to others, this item was incredibly valuable, but to him, it was worthless.

"Please, you must take this! It's the most precious thing I can offer right now..." Jessica held up the scroll, her face flushed and her gaze unwaveringly firm. It was clear from her stance that she wouldn't rest until Mike accepted it today.

"Alright, I'll return it to you after I use it," Mike conceded, taking the scroll and waving his hand dismissively. "If there's nothing else, I'm going to head out."

As Mike walked away into the sunset, Jessica bowed again in silent gratitude, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes.

"Jessica, Jessica!" A well-dressed lady hurried over to Jessica's side. "What are you doing here? I couldn't find you just now; you had me worried sick."

The lady exuded an air of elegance, her skin well-maintained and glowing, her features bearing a resemblance to Jessica's. "Jessica, don't worry about the talent issue. Listen to your mom, let's go home for dinner."

Jessica managed a smile, "Mom, I'm fine."

"You say you're fine, but your eyes are all red, my poor child..." The lady embraced Jessica, her expression briefly clouded with worry, though she quickly regained her composure.

"Who was that male classmate just now? Aren't you going to introduce him to your mom?"

"No, he's nobody special, just a classmate."

"I saw you give him the map. Tell me the truth, do you like him?"

Jessica quickly defended, "Mom, no! Mike is just a classmate from our class..."

"Alright, alright, let's get in the car." Sitting in the passenger seat, the lady took out her phone and tapped a few times, sending a text message.

"Check the background of a boy named Mike."

From the rearview mirror, watching her daughter who seemed unconcerned, the lady's gaze turned cold. Her daughter had awakened an F-level talent; what mother wouldn't feel heartache? If anyone tried to take advantage of her vulnerability to deceive her daughter and gain benefits from the Morrow family, she would never allow it!

After dinner, Mike returned home and pulled out the map Jessica had given him, spreading it out on the table.

"A lot of information here, but none of it useful to me." Under the effect of the [Eye of Truth], there were no secrets to be found!

"The Tower of Truth requires continuous climbing, breaking through levels, and I'm currently on the first floor," Mike mused as he looked at the map of the first level.

The leveling spots from Lv.1 to Lv.10 were already useless to Mike. As for hidden quests and special

areas with low rewards, Mike simply ignored them.

"Huh?" Mike noticed a number next to the map of the first floor:

[Exploration Rate: 0%]

"There's an exploration rate?" Mike wondered aloud. "What happens when it reaches 100%?"

[The higher the exploration rate, the richer the rewards when breaking through the levels of the Tower of Truth]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

[First Floor Clearance History: 100% Exploration Rate 2 people, 90% and above Exploration Rate 19 people...]

Seeing the notes that appeared before him, Mike's spirit was lifted.

100% Exploration Rate, just 2 people?! That meant... even among the legendary three supreme beings

of the past, one had never reached 100% exploration rate!

[Methods to increase exploration rate: Defeat monsters, kill special bosses, explore the map...]

[100% Exploration Rate Guide: Start by heading to Thunder Valley...]

After reading all the information, Mike made a decision.

"I need to reach 100% exploration rate on the first floor, and if possible, break through it today!" The levels and floors in the Tower Truth were interconnected. On the first floor, Mike could never surpass level 10; he had to break through the first floor to continue leveling up.

After analyzing the 100% exploration rate guide, Mike identified a challenging issue: the combat wasn't difficult, but covering such a long distance in six hours was a bit of a stretch. The Tower of Truth was only open for six hours a day; missing today meant waiting until tomorrow. "Let's check out the Trade Secret Realm to see if there are any teleportation skills available." With that thought, Mike activated the Tower of Truth mark and entered the Trade Secret Realm early.

The Trade Secret Realm was open hours a day, with no time restrictions. Just as he logged on, Mike was bombarded with messages from Foreskin.

"Bro! Big bro! Are you there? Contact me as soon as you see this message!"

Mike quickly sent an address, and within a minute, Foreskin appeared in front of him. However, this time Foreskin looked at Mike with a peculiar expression.

"Big bro, who exactly are you?" Foreskin asked, a hint of awe in his voice.

"What's up?" Mike responded, curious about the sudden change in demeanor.

"About that guy Jacob you reported today, cough, he's been detained!"

"That's good news," Mike remarked, feeling a sense of justice served. The fewer demon cult followers,

the less pressure

humanity.

"You might not know this, but after he was caught, he ratted out a bunch of big shots. Thanks to the leads he provided, just today, they nabbed three Battle General-level demon cult followers!" Foreskin explained, clearly excited by the news.

Mike was genuinely surprised. "Buy one, get three free deal! Feels like a Christmas sale."

"Let's get to the point, the real deal," Foreskin said, pulling the conversation back to business. "After some discussions between the head honchos and Defense Headquarters, they've set your reward for the report-30,000 gold coins!"
