Wang Wen actually has a lot of things he wants to ask.

For example: Why do you live in such a miserable place when you are obviously rich?

Another example: Why are you so nice to me? You actually left First Consortium for my sake? That's First Consortium, are you old and confused?

He also knew that the old man actually had a lot of things he wanted to ask.

For example: How do you know you are here? How do you find this place?

Another example: Why can you survive the missile bombing of First Consortium? Why can you do something that even the 500th floor can't do when you are only on the 300th floor?

But.

Wang Wen didn't ask anything.

He simply said, "The Academy is almost ready, please move over and live with me."

The old man didn't ask anything.

He looked around reluctantly, patted his trouser legs and said with a smile, "Okay."

Both of them knew it in their hearts.

A simple answer means that the old man gave up his comfortable retirement life and came back to work hard to help Wang Wen build the Academy into the second First Consortium.

It also means that Wang Wen promises to take good care of this elder who has been a close friend for two generations and prevent him from being exposed to wind and rain for no reason in his later years. When he gets old, he still has to watch Human Face leave the place he has guarded for most of his life.

Wang Wen helped Gu Jianbing pack simple luggage.

Before going out, he said to Gu Jianbing, "From now on, whenever I have a bite of noodles, I will never let you just drink soup."

Gu Jianbing suddenly let out a loud sigh and said angrily, "I almost vomited after eating noodles these days! I want to eat meat!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Close the doors and windows and leave this old yard.

Approaching the street corner, Wang Wen happened to see the dark and thin Kidney Deficiency Bro selecting pork ribs at the entrance of a simple vegetable market.

I saw him selecting and saying to the camera of his mobile phone, "Then I won't cook today. Thanks to old man Leng Jiao for the reward. Buy some of these ribs, get some winter melon, cook it in one pot, and drink some drinks. That's it. Give Ollie a lot, and the young man will be done!"

Wang Wen passed him by.

He raised his eyebrows and was about to express his feelings about how wonderful the fate is.

The cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

He took it out, looked at it, and answered the phone.

Luo Shan's voice came from the receiver. "I said I haven't seen you in the past few days, so you went to the slums? Tiansheng does not seem to be involved over there, you are smart!"

Wang Wen asked strangely, "How did you know I was in the slums?"

Luo Shan paused and said with a sly smile, "Hey, how can you be the leader of the Intelligence Department if you don't have the ability to collect intelligence?"

He would never say that he saw it accidentally while watching the live broadcast.

Wang Wen nodded, remembering that the other party couldn't see him, so he said into the microphone, "Mo Ran is still at First Consortium? You tell him that the old man went back to the Academy with me. I hope he can keep his words."

Luo Shan paused again and said suspiciously, "Why don't you call him yourself?"

"You are familiar with him." Wang Wen smiled politely.

He would never say that he was already fantasizing about Mo Ran beating Luo Shan with a black face.

Taking a taxi on the way to the portal.

Gu Jianbing said to Wang Wen as if telling a story, "I have always had a memory that I don't know if it is a dream or real. In the fragmented picture, there seems to be me in another time and space. In that time and space, I knew a young man who stood tall and upright. His appearance is not clear, but his outline is very similar to yours..."

heard this.

Wang Wen couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the old man who seemed to be telling a story, and then thought of Senior Li in the Academy who climbed to the 300th floor in a week.

Some speculations seem to be getting clearer.

Wang Wen turned his head and silently looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window.

Time passes.

The portal will arrive soon.

Wang Wen helped the old man carry his luggage through the portal to World Tower Grand Plaza for transfer. He stepped out again and was already standing on the commercial street outside the Academy.

Gu Jianbing looked at the vaguely bustling streets and sighed with regret, "It used to be very lively here, right?"

Wang Wen nodded. "The Academy Teachers and students don't have much to do. Basically, these merchants are cheaper."

Gu Jianbing turned to stare at Wang Wen and said, "Do you blame me for never helping the Academy? If First Consortium had intervened, the Academy would not have been in this situation."

"Things are developing too fast." Wang Wen's face was expressionless, and his tone seemed to have no waves. "Even I didn't expect that I only entered World Tower once, and the Academy was gone. I I don't blame anyone at First Consortium. I have no obligation to help the Academy. I just feel that there is no need for a group like Tiansheng that is completely unreasonable and unruly to exist."

The two were talking.

Walk into the Academy door.

Just happened to run into Li He coming towards me.

Seeing Wang Wen leading an old man who looked familiar to the Academy, Li He didn't ask any questions, nodded to the old man, and said to Wang Wen, "Just in time, I heard that you were Forbidden Tower, please take care of the Academy's reconstruction progress in the past few weeks. I'm at level 400, and I'm going to sprint to 500 next week."

Wang Wen was prepared, but there was no surprise.

On the contrary, Gu Jianbing next to him was startled and asked Wang Wen with a strange expression, "You just spent a week climbing to the 300th floor, and now someone wants to climb to the 500th floor in a week? Do you people in the Academy calculate their tower climbing progress on a weekly basis?"

Li He looked really busy and had no time to chat. For Wang Wen's sake, he nodded politely to the old man, then left the Academy gate and headed straight for the portal.

Wang Wen thought for a while and explained, "This is just an isolated phenomenon and cannot be used as a reference. In the future, I will try my best to advise my friends around me to proceed slowly and not to rush too fast."

The old man nodded noncommittally and looked around the Academy: "Where do I live?"

"Senior Li has gone through all the superficial procedures." Wang Wen swiped casually. "Now this is all ours, we can live wherever we want."

The old man's eyes lit up. "Such a large area? Then you have to arrange the facilities well!"

Wang Wen smiled and said, "I am particularly interested in the mechanism protection array that Intelligence Department built for First Consortium. I wonder if the Academy can get a similar set here? In case there are always some weird little flies flying in."

The old man sneered disdainfully, "As long as I have enough money, I can make a better one! If only Intelligence Department hadn't paid for it himself, it would have covered more than one main building?"

Wang Wen opened the optical computer with a touch of his wrist to view his personal account.

He smiled mysteriously and asked, "How much does it cost?"

Gu Jianbing After watching a circle of the Academy the wall, the old god calculated silently for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "Be conservative, let's start with one billion in the first stage."

"???"

Wang Wen, who was typing on the light and shadow keyboard, stopped and the mysterious smile on his face solidified at the same time. He turned to look at the old man in disbelief. "How much???"

The cooperation with Philanthropy Group Chen Hansheng was officially launched that afternoon at the strong request of Wang Wen.

Five hundred Tower Climber.

Strictly speaking, there are 493 Resource Team members, plus the 5 members of the Mi Lailai team, as well as Chen Hansheng and his assistant, barely enough to make up 500 people.

See this patchwork team.

Wang Wen almost crooked his nose.

He asked Chen Hansheng incomprehensibly, "The big boss who promised me that he would have enough for five thousand people at any time is now actually going to play in person? What's going on with Mi Lailai over there? This is Resource Team, not an elite team. Do you Universal Love have a mine? Are you using the elite team as your Resource Team??"

Chen Hansheng scratched his chin in embarrassment and explained, "I don't know until I've been there, but I realized that there are so few people I can trust..."

The next second, his expression changed, he pointed at the five hundred people lining up on the Academy playground, and said proudly to Wang Wen: "But don't worry, I guarantee that everyone standing here today is reliable! At most, he is a tower-climbing loser, but his character is absolutely fine, and no one will take it for himself!"

Mi Lailai, who was dressed like a fairy over there, raised his nose in disbelief and shouted, "What's wrong with the Elite Team? You look down on the Elite Team? If you don't use bean bags as dry food, don't think that you can't beat you if you break the veil!"

Hearing this, a tall handsome guy walked out of the elite team, walked slowly and stood not far from Wang Wen, raised his chin and asked, "Are you Wang Wen?"
