The speed at which a normal person climbs a tower is usually determined by the maximum number of floors they can reach.

The maximum is 300 floors; climbing the first 200 floors might take a week.

Unless you're a seasoned veteran who's clearly aiming for the 300th floor but spends most of your time hanging out in the lower 100s and 200s in front of newbies, you might be able to clear the first 200 floors faster.

It should take about four or five days to complete.

Then, relying on the income from this trip and the meals and entertainment at the new recruits' parties, they could eat, drink, and have fun for a month or two.

If you really have no money and no one to treat you, then go into the tower one more time.

Repeat this process.

They enjoy it immensely.

Tower Climber higher floors will be able to ascend the tower more quickly.

For a top-tier team like the one aiming for the 600th floor, the first 200 floors must be completed within 1 to 2 days.

Otherwise, there won't be enough time.

Based on this speed, the average time for each of the first two hundred floors is about 10 to 15 minutes.

This is the fastest speed ever recorded by humans to reach the top of the tower.

Cheng Queyi came from a respectable family.

My family has a little money.

I've learned about the limits of human speed from being around my parents all the time.

She didn't pay attention to the ninth floor that flashed by when she first entered the tower.

After all, people were still in shock at the time regarding the "special licensing rights".

And now, even the 11th floor has passed in a flash?

Cheng Queyi calculated the time from when everyone entered until the entrance to the lower level appeared.

His little head was full of question marks.

What's going on?

Is the control room broken?

It's already scattered all over the place before we've even started solving it?

after.

Her question mark lingered all the way to the 20th floor.

Nine scattered layers.

This includes the speed-shifting mechanism.

In the blink of an eye, I was already standing in front of the entrance.

Average time per floor: 3 seconds.

Cheng Queyi couldn't understand and looked at Wang Wen with a face full of confusion.

Wang Wen patiently explained to her, "Integer levels are still quite challenging; it will take some time."

Level unlocked.

About five minutes passed.

The progress bar is full, and the entrance to the next level appears.

Cheng Queyi: "???"

She tried hard to keep up with Wang Wen's train of thought, attempting to understand whether the phrase "take some time" was politeness or humility.

One hour later.

The group stood on the ground of the 99th floor.

Let alone Cheng Queyi.

Even Mo Ran and Chen Hansheng were a little confused.

Wang Wen explained to the group with a hint of helplessness, "There's nothing we can do about this floor. Everyone, take a break."

He was truly helpless.

The 99th floor was a complete waste of time. There was a time when I couldn't make it to the 700th floor. If it weren't for wasting 10 hours on this floor, I could have gone the first 200 floors much faster, maybe even in less than a day. In the end, I wouldn't have been so far behind by those few seconds.

Therefore, even the Academy's textbooks mention that, unless you're aiming for hundreds of floors, finishing your tower climb at the 98th floor is the best option.

Wang Wen's trip is definitely going to be over a hundred floors, so we can only grit our teeth and wait for these ten hours.

The energy required to pass the level by swearing an oath is greater than the sky.

It was tested as early as level 750. It consumed a full 10% of the energy to increase the level progress out of thin air, but the progress only increased by 0.1 points.

Just as she entered this floor Wang Wen tried again, hoping for the best.

One-thousandth of the energy only reduces the countdown timer for the level by three or four seconds, which translates to roughly one ten-thousandth of the progress.

To fill the progress by swearing an oath, his total energy would need to increase at least a hundredfold from its current level.

Zhu Xingguo, familiar with the place, took out tables, chairs, benches, and sofas and arranged them on the floor for Wang Wen to sit down and rest.

Then they began building toilets and a canteen.

Wang Wen closed her eyes to recharge.

While the recovery speed of a level 7 physique isn't enough for the consumption of the ultra-high levels, it's more than enough to make up for the consumption of the lower levels.

After all, that speedrun just now didn't even use one-thousandth of the energy.

This feeling captivated Wang Wen.

The feeling of clearing a level without burning any energy is just so wonderful.

It's like when you're weak and only have 10 attack power, you'd have to take ten hits to deal with a low-level monster with 100 health points.

Once you encounter a boss with tens of thousands of health points, you have to work yourself to the bone and consume countless resources just to barely defeat it.

A slight mistake could lead to failure and being unable to exit the tower.

Now let's come again.

The attack power has been increased to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

In the lower levels, all monsters, regardless of size, are defeated with a single strike.

Watching the various levels of challenges vanish behind me like fleeting clouds.

It felt absolutely wonderful.

Wang Wen, with her eyes closed, felt a deep sense of joy.

On the other side, Cheng Queyi.

With a head full of questions, he walked up to Zhu Xingguo and the others and asked curiously, "You climbed ninety floors in an hour? Is climbing towers this fast now? Didn't the intelligence say that each floor takes about ten minutes on average?"

Zhu Xingguo chuckled and said, "The intelligence is just ordinary people's intelligence. Master's entry into the tower is always a new human record. They're two different things."

Mo Ran and Chen Hansheng did not participate in this discussion.

A man, half-dead and limp.

One of them, engrossed in calculations, clicked his tongue in admiration.

Chen Hansheng said to Mo Ran, who was sprawled on the cushion rolling his eyes, "We've gained 200 billion Point in less than six days, even more than expected. This speed at which we make money is simply terrifying!"

Mo Ran remained motionless, rolling her eyes and refusing to speak.

I thought to myself.

Of course it's terrifying.

The person who killed two million giant cockroaches in one go was himself!

I'm never climbing towers with Wang Wen again!

That's absolutely inhuman work!

The 10-hour session ended.

Cleared the 99th floor.

Zhu Xingguo packed his belongings and followed the others into the entrance.

After a ten-hour rest, Wang Wen not only recovered all the energy she had used up during the speedrun, but also replenished an additional 18 per thousand.

Including the amount he recovered while resting outside the tower, his total energy has now returned to 70%.

This is a very unfortunate fact.

It takes an average of 55 hours to recover 10%.

He felt he never had enough energy until his entire physique was strengthened to a higher level.

Last week I was hoping to reach the 800-story mark.

They quit after only reaching the 750th floor.

The consumption of ultra-high-rise buildings is too great, and with the recovery speed not keeping up, every step is extremely difficult.

In their previous lives, everyone possessed level eight or even nine physiques and extraordinary skills, yet they still occasionally made mistakes and left the tower.

In this life, Wang Wen wanted to rely solely on himself. Even though he possessed Five-Fold Enlightenment strengths far surpassing his peers, his enhancement level of only seven was still insufficient and he was struggling in every aspect.

To be honest, he had considered taking all the money from the conglomerate to upgrade himself to level nine.

But the thought of the mess outside and having to clean it up myself makes it seem like a hassle.

Wang Wen, unlike Chen Hansheng, was amazed that the benefits of the Four Squares Formation were in hand.

He was even somewhat dissatisfied.

Entering the tower costs 200 billion each time.

Still too slow!

Will it take a year to reach 10 trillion?

Slow! Too slow!

Are there any other, faster ways to make money?

While casually working through the progress of the 100th level, Wang Wen was also racking her brains to think.

Suddenly, he remembered a time in his life when he was "forced to leave the class."

That special level seems to be quite valuable?

Wang Wen nodded secretly, deciding to give it a try next week.

1 a. m. Sunday.

Cleared the 200th floor.
