"Do you think so? Maybe I just don't want to tell my name to random people that come to me." Tang Shaoyang shrugged.
"You…." The blue-armored guy was about to approach Tang Shaoyang, but Natasa stopped him. She said nothing as she pulled him back and whispered, "What are you doing? Why are you provoking people out of nowhere? Remember where we are, we are not in our territory anymore, and the people here are from the top eleven factions. We don't want to fight any of them right now!"
"There's no way that dude can escalate the situation into a war between factions. Look at his equipment; he does not wear any. He must be a watchdog from one of the eleven factions," The blue-armored man secretly glanced at Tang Shaoyang. There was not a single piece of equipment, a black coat, a black shirt, and black pants.
Natasa rolled her eyes, showing her frustration, "Why does he need to wear his equipment in a place with no monster? Alright, I have enough of you. Let me do the job, and can you wait for me with the others there?"
The guy was clearly annoyed being told to walk back. He secretly glanced at Tang Shaoyang, and Natasa knew him too well. She immediately called her friends, signaling her friend to come over. The red and black armor came over, "Keep a watch on him. We paid a huge price to reach here, and I don't want his arrogance to ruin our sacrifice!"

That's a minus point. There's no way you are jealous of a random stranger she just met, right? Calm down and take it slow. Girls don't like possessive men."
Natasa returned to Tang Shaoyang, "I apologize for my friend. He's usually not like that."
"It's fine. However, I have a reminder for you newcomers. The fight is prohibited inside the tower area, or else you will be expelled from the area for a month." Tang Shaoyang told Natasa one tip with his still flat tone. "If you want more information about the tower. You can find it at the entrance."
Natasa stood there for a while, digesting the information she had just received. She seemed to forget what she wanted to ask.
"If you have nothing else, then I will take my leave," Tang Shaoyang walked away, heading back to the empire's district. He got the information these people were the new faction that arrived at the Dimensional Tower, not part of the other ten top factions. That was the reason he was willing to help them a little.
On the way back, Tang Shaoyang realized how important these houses were. Not so important for the eleven factions that got here with the portal, but it was so important for the factions that did not come with the portal. They could not go back anytime, and they would be stuck here to clear the Dimensional Tower.
"Wait…. Isn't this a chance for us to earn more coins?" The thought of money lingered in his head after entering the eleventh floor. "We can open a shop or maybe buy all the districts and sell all of them at a higher price?"

Tang Empire Capital, Tang, Conference Room
Tang Shaoyang immediately held a meeting as soon as he returned. Everyone was surprised to see him return earlier. He told them what the eleventh floor was, and though he was unsure of the whole purpose of the seventh floor, he described what they got from the eleventh floor.
"We don't have a problem getting more coins. We have Sis Li Shuang to secure our finances, but we need to think of a few measures against the other worlds. If you said this was not their first experience with the dimensional, this is a big trouble for us. Not only do they have advantages in knowledge about the eleventh floor and above, but they must be stronger than us as a whole," Zhang Mengyao voiced her concern regarding the future fight in the dimensional tower.
She felt like the coin was a secondary issue as the main issue was how the other three worlds in the Starter City would treat them, "According to you, Allurion and Egunov might not be hostile toward us, but Mellanainia might be hostile. We need a countermeasure against Mellanainia."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"May and may not be hostile. We will find out about it tomorrow." Tang Shaoyang shook his head. "How to make a countermeasure against the force we know nothing about. What we need is not a countermeasure, but a change in focus…." He paused midway.
Everyone in the room looked at Tang Shaoyang, waiting for him to finish his words.
"I want to say that we need to focus our main force on the dimensional tower, but I remember why we focus our main force on expanding our territory." Tang Shaoyang explained with a sigh.
The empire focused on the exploration team to clear out the zombie outside there that might be a threat to the empire. That was to prevent the same incident where they lost one exploration squad to a zombie who
The Elven Kingdom and the native of the Gigante Forest were still focusing on settling down on Earth, on the new world. He could not fully utilize them yet. Even though they were his vassals, he did not want to force them to do something they did not want.
Aki, the Dark Tremor, the rat beastmen who had mind control ability, raised his hand. "Beast Coven is ready to assist Your Majesty's expedition in the dimensional tower."
The Beast Coven was Alton's former group, the group the old man created for his vengeance, which was later defeated by Tang Shaoyang. Aki took the name, and the beastmen from the Gigante Forest was part of the Beast Coven with Aki as the leader. The rat might not be the strongest from the Beast Coven, but he was chosen by Tang Shaoyang to be the beastmen representative.
"We have settled down, and we are ready to join the battle anytime."
