Let's go back a few days.

Wang Wen is still inside the tower, slowly recovering her energy while attempting to ascend.

A secluded meeting room outside the tower.

The heads of the five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten conglomerates gathered for a meeting.

They didn't invite the First Consortium.

They're all big bosses; they clearly stated at the last meeting that they wanted to be his lackeys. There's no need for us to fawn over them.

Six people believe.

This world cannot be ruled by those Tower Climber.

Especially for a single Tower Climber.

Even if the Tower Climber doesn't care about anything.

It's never appropriate to stand atop the world's giants and dominate the major conglomerates.

Confucian scholars use their literary skills to disrupt the law, while chivalrous individuals use their martial arts to break the law.

When a person's physical strength exceeds that of a universal law enforcement body, that person is either under some form of strong restraint.

Or...

This man is the emperor.

What emperors are there in the world today?

And Wang Wen didn't seem to be someone who could be controlled.

Therefore, the Six Great Consortiums felt...

This kind of person.

It's better to eliminate them.

As long as the thorns can be removed, everything else is negotiable.

The world is still at peace.

The world still belongs to conglomerates.

Everything is normal.

So they came up with a plan.

Wang Wen is very strong; she is the world's number one Tower Climber.

Even Lu Ci of the First Consortium was no match for him.

Even with the combined resources of the entire conglomerate Qin Dongbei, the big boss of the Second Consortium, couldn't defeat him.

This means that even if each faction sends all its Tower Climber up, it won't make a difference.

If they couldn't even defeat the top two groups of 600-story buildings, how could they expect any miracles to happen with these 500-story buildings?

Besides, the most powerful team in the 500 floors, Boai Milai, is also on the other side.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Since there's no hope for the Tower Climber...

What about technology?

Wang Wen is strong again.

Ultimately, it's all flesh wrapped around bones.

High-yield high explosives can melt even steel, let alone the human body.

That concludes the discussion.

The female head of the Seventh Consortium, lighting a thin cigarette, said in a strange tone, "Sorry, I'm afraid that's not necessarily true. Don't forget, they were able to block even the missiles of the First Consortium back then!"

The other officials in charge were all taken aback.

He hesitated, not entirely convinced, and said, "Didn't they say he was seriously injured and almost unable to move after blocking the attack? If we increase the yield, surely we can achieve a decisive victory with one strike?"

"Everyone, wake up!" the female manager sighed. "Wang Wen was only at three hundred levels back then, how many levels is he at now?"

The Fifth Consortium, unable to bear it any longer, slammed down its cigar gun and glared at the female head of the Seventh Consortium: "President Xu, are you backing out? Do you think all of us consortia can't handle this brat?"

"I'm trying to find a solution, aren't I?" The female manager, referred to as Manager Xu, took a puff of her cigarette and said casually, "I'm definitely not going to back out, but if I don't have a good solution, I'm too lazy to get involved in this mess."

"You!" The Fifth Consortium suddenly stood up.

Looking around at the other major conglomerates...

He gritted his teeth and spat out the words: "He can stop missiles, but what about nuclear bombs?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The entire room fell silent.

The heads of the various conglomerates looked at each other, speechless.

The female manager, "General Manager Xu," trembled, and a thin ash fell onto her fingers, burning her so much that she quickly threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Everyone's expression was solemn.

"Has it... come to the point where we have to use nuclear weapons?" The head of the Tenth Consortium, a middle-aged, overweight man who usually wore a smile, now had a somewhat stiff smile on his face, "Won't this cause misunderstandings with the First Consortium?"

"This isn't a misunderstanding, is it?" President Xu tossed aside his cigarette and questioned, "With such a large strike range, is it meant to destroy the entire Fifth Region?"

The Fifth Consortium grinned maliciously, "To achieve great things, you always have to sacrifice some small parts."

The more he spoke, the more convinced he became. "The Tower Climber can no longer do anything to the other side. If the technology companies are still cautiously experimenting with various gadgets, are you planning to have the other side come knocking on your door and twisting your necks one by one?"

The three companies that hadn't spoken yet nodded in support. "I think President Lin is right. If we're going to go for it, we should go for the biggest one!"

Most people agree.

The seventh and eleventh conglomerates also remained silent.

The head of the Fifth Consortium made the final decision. "Then it's settled. I'll take the lead on my suggestion, and I'll be in charge of the nuclear warheads. You all take charge of the site, personnel, and equipment, and try to get everything ready before Wang Wen leaves the tower, so we can give him a surprise!"

then.

A few days later.

Wang Wen has left the tower.

The Six Great Consortiums are in complete chaos.

What a big surprise!

Mr. Xu, the head of the Seventh Consortium, frowned deeply. "Did Wang Wen know about our plan and deliberately catch us off guard by leaving the tower early?"

The Fifth Consortium grunted in a sinister tone, "Impossible! He was still inside the tower when we were discussing this; he couldn't receive any information from the outside world!"

President Xu disagreed. "The inability to receive outside information from within the tower is a historical intelligence tactic. Now that they've broken through that history and reached the 700th floor, can we still guarantee they don't have any means of communication?"

The Fifth Consortium remained silent, chewing their cigars in silence.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the middle-aged, overweight man from the Tenth Consortium quickly spoke up to ease the tension, "Even if he receives the message, it doesn't prevent us from carrying out our plan. We don't have evidence before the incident happens, and we can't just kill us all."

The Fifth Consortium scoffed, "We can't delay any longer, act now!"

Sixth, Eighth, and Ninth Foundations: "The launch site isn't ready yet..."

"We can't wait any longer!" The Fifth Consortium made the decision. "Use airborne cruise missiles to transport them! Or simply drop aerial bombs!"

Inside the Academy.

Upon learning that Wang Wen had been released from the tower, all his friends came to visit.

Groups gathered on the playground to "hold a banquet" and celebrate.

This is essentially a customary practice.

Each time Tower Climber emerges from the tower, there is a celebration, to some extent, to ensure their safe return and that they did not die inside.

It's also a good opportunity for a large group to get together and enjoy a delicious meal.

Of course, people in Wang Wen's circle weren't there for the food; they were simply there to celebrate.

Chen Hansheng looked radiant after just a few days apart.

He clinked glasses with Wang Wen and said with a smile, "The Tiansheng and Fourth Consortium's assets are almost settled. Guess how much money it is?"

Having not had a drink in a long time, Wang Wen downed it in one gulp, savoring the taste as she smacked her lips. "This wine is pretty good, where did you get it?"

Mi Lailai next to him was laughing so hard her chest was shaking.

Unable to hold the chopsticks steady, he simply gave up, releasing the piece of bamboo fungus and saying to Chen Hansheng, "See? I told you he didn't care about this!"

Chen Hansheng looked embarrassed and pointed at the wine bottle that Wang Wen was clutching. "Even the best of this stuff is only worth a few hundred thousand at most. Those two conglomerates have a combined value of over a hundred trillion! My brother, how can you be so indifferent!"

"Hey!" Wang Wen patted Chen Hansheng's arm and replied cheerfully, "Little brother is so good, let big brother give you a hug."

"???" Chen Hansheng picked up his wine glass in frustration and downed it in one gulp.

Mi Lailai, feigning drunkenness, approached Wang Wen and said, "Brother, I want a hug too."

Wang Wen froze.

Mi Lailai about to say, "Boring."

But then they found Wang Wen, her body stiff, looking up at the sky.

So she also looked up at the sky.

A dark shadow, growing larger and larger, fell from the distant sky.

They went straight to the roof of the dormitory building and landed there.

It bloomed into a Little Sun even before it touched anything.

Mi Lailai a sharp pain in her eyes and instinctively lowered her gaze to avoid looking at them, only to find that Wang Wen had disappeared from her side at some point.
