The team headed to the north of the starter city. It took them three hours of traveling to reach their destination, the special territory inside the tower. By the time they arrived at the location, another group had already arrived.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes focused on the red barrier in front of him. His Spirit Eyes failed to see through the barrier, but he could see through the barrier. The garden Eril talked about was behind the barrier. 'It's similar to the dungeon back on earth, but the difference is that we can keep the territory.'

Eril and Damian headed toward the group that had been waiting there. Tang Shaoyang was not interested in what they talked about. He was more curious about the 'resource' since this would be his first time fighting for the resource. There were a lot of things he needed to learn about the tower. There was a screen on the barrier with three words on it, Epic Rank Garden.

Tang Shaoyang did not know what it implied, but he assumed that the resources also had a grade. The one in front of him was Epic Rank Resource. 'But I don't see the barrier at the mine and also the poisonous valley. Does that mean those two places are not a resource?'

He thought the resource was not something like this but just an area where the precious materials grew or could be found. They just needed to occupy the area and defend the area for the people who wanted to take it over. That was the scenario in his head, but it was actually different if the system protected the area, like in the Territory Wars. The faction could not forcefully take over the area or the resources in this case but must follow the system's rules. In that case, there was no need for a faction to heavily guard the resource against the other factions since they could not take what was inside directly.

'A little bit of information about the tower. Maybe I should get closer to the higher-ups in the guild to get more information without telling them that this is my first dimensional tower.'

Tang Shaoyang had zero knowledge about the tower. It was said that he had to beat the boss floor to get to the next floor, but from the look of the situation, the factions were not in a hurry to get to the next floor. There must be a reason why the factions that had gone through several dimensional towers did not rush to the next floor. They should have the resources that were available on the eleventh floor already from the previous tower, so the resource was not the main thing they stayed with.

'Maybe to train the low levels? But the low-level players can still stay on the eleventh floor while the stronger ones go to the upper floor. It's more efficient than staying on this floor.' Now he thought about it. These factions had experienced the tower several times. They should not have lacked the resources on the eleventh floor. 'Roman, Lulu, and Eril are the only ones I know here. Guild Master Gortham will mostly be away for his other things.'

The talk was longer than he thought it would be. Another group was the Virandal Empire, and it seemed there was a change in the agreement. He could hear them debating over something like the numbers that could participate in the contest. It seemed the Virandal Empire wanted to reduce the number from originally a hundred to only five people. Eril insisted on the original agreement, but The Virandal Empire opposed the idea. After discussing for almost half an hour, both could not come up with an agreement. Eril asked for time for them to discuss the issue with his team, calling Damian, Lulu, Roman, and Ying for the discussion.

Damian no longer had the same hostility, but he still did not hide his dislike toward Ying. As if he made sure that Ying knew his dislike.

"How is it? That Virandal bastard wanted to change the agreement at the last minute. They want to reduce the number to five people. The problem is we can't ask the Guild Master to solve the issue. Those nobles from the Virandal Empire will not want to meet us." Eril explained why it became an issue. The Guild Master was not around to help them.

"What if we don't agree with them? They are the ones who break the agreement, not us." Roman felt like this was not a big issue. The Virandal Empire was the one who broke the agreement by changing the condition at the last minute.

"That's the issue. They will bring the issue to the alliance, and if they bring this into the alliance, more factions will know about this Epic Rank Garden. That means we have more competitors to fight against." Eril pointed out the main issue. The other factions would know more about the resource, and they would want to join in contesting the resource. That was Eril's concern if the issue was brought to the alliance.

"Then we have no choice but to agree with them then? Let's do it. I don't think we will lose against them, five against five." Lulu expressed her thoughts confidently.

"That's also an issue. They have one Myth Rank, two Ancient Ranks, and two Epic Ranks. I don't think we will win against them." Eril got a massive headache from encountering such a problem with her first responsibility.

Roman and Lulu exchanged glances. They seemed to think the same thing. "I don't think that's an issue, Eril. We can easily win this contest." Roman smiled. "We have Brother Ying here. He will win us the contest."

Roman and Lulu had experienced how strong Ying was. Despite being of Ancient Rank, Ying survived the Gods' attack, so a mere one Myth Rank and two Ancient Rank should not be an issue. On top of that, they were not going to fight against those five but defeat the boss that occupied the garden. Whoever defeated the boss first won the contest.

"Don't be ridiculous, Roman. What can one Ancient Rank do against two Ancient Ranks, let alone the Myth Rank? Are you going to take responsibility if we fail the assignment?" Damian shot a glare at the easygoing Roman. This was a serious issue, not something that could be trifled with. An Epic Rank Garden was not something that came easily.

"If we bring this to the alliance, we can work together with the other factions, and I don't think we will lose if we work together with the Holy Kingdom and the Varuman Empire."
