A Blessing, Not a Curse

In Wang Wen's view, this world is amazing.

Like a passerby rushing up to commit suicide as if it were a joke.

And passersby who, as if joking, abandoned their companions and ran away.

What are these two passersby doing here?

My mind was filled with doubt.

His eyes began to flicker.

He observed the girl in front of him with the skills of a master of Scientific Deciphering at the Breaking Ignorance Level.

To everyone's astonishment, signs of energy were discovered within the girl's body!

It's not magic, spiritual power, or any other kind of power.

It is the unified energy of all forces that one possesses only after Five-Fold Enlightenment, just like myself!

Of course, Wang Wen didn't know whether the girl's genitals were punctured or not.

Although the amount of energy within the other person was faint, it was indeed genuine energy.

For the past few weeks, I've been going back and forth on issues related to energy, and Wang Wen is extremely familiar with this kind of energy.

The reason I entered the observation mode of the master of Scientific Deciphering was because I felt a sense of both strangeness and familiarity.

The unfamiliarity is the first time that something is not perceived within one's own body.

Familiarity, then, means understanding energy itself.

This unexpected discovery temporarily put aside Wang Wen's ambition to Devour Heaven and Earth.

Previously, when using [Unity with Heaven and Man], the duration was eight hours. Replenishing energy took half an hour, and increasing the number of uses took nearly four hours.

In addition, there were other miscellaneous delays such as clearing levels, teleporting, and searching for habitable planets.

With just over three hours left, adding another round was already a stretch, so he didn't even consider it.

Leaving the tower was simply a way to replenish energy while the skill was still active.

To be on the safe side, he doubled the time to replenish the energy, which was more than enough to allow for an hour. Wang Wen was still unsure about the "endurance" of this world. In order to avoid consuming the entire planet in an instant and causing the extinction of all things, he temporarily stopped making the oath.

In any case, I'm currently in a state of Unity with Heaven and Man and don't lack energy.

If there is a truly powerful enemy who prevents him from leaving the tower even while in a state of [Unity with Heaven and Man], then even if his internal energy is fully replenished, it will be useless.

Wang Wen followed the girl silently.

He wants to see more people with energy.

And while you're at it, ask them how they obtained this energy.

Outside the tower.

The four people waited in the Grand Plaza.

Zhu Xingguo asked curiously, "Why hasn't Master left the tower yet?"

Chen Hansheng asked suspiciously, "Could something have happened?"

Mo Ran resolutely said, "I'll go back and take a look!"

Chen Hansheng stopped him, first carefully glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then softly advising, "If I remember correctly, your permission is to return to the original position before exiting the tower, right? That's outer space! If something really happens to Wang Wen, you won't be able to help even if you go!"

Mo Ran broke free from his hand and rushed into the entrance of the World Tower to activate the permission for the aircraft.

Return the way you came!

Chen Hansheng quickly retrieved a bottle from the prop storeroom and slipped it into Mo Ran's hand before he disappeared.

Once Zhu Xingguo left the tower, he couldn't use the [Equal Exchange] method anymore, so he could only be given a piece of bread. Actually, he also wanted to go in to find his master, but unfortunately, the permission wasn't right and he couldn't go back.

Looking at the way the group was scrambling to get in, Cheng Queyi asked, puzzled, "Why don't you try to wear a spacesuit and go in?"

Chen Hansheng shook his head. "Currently, we cannot develop a completely scanned non- World Tower device. No matter how lightweight, simple, and body-hugging it is, and how metal-free it is, some of it will still be lost during the teleportation process, thus rendering it useless."

Cheng Queyi nodded thoughtfully. "I thought top conglomerates would have methods that ordinary people wouldn't know, but it turns out you can't either."

"..." Chen Hansheng looked at her speechlessly, thinking to himself, what do you mean by "you" and "us"? Aren't we all in the same boat?

Mo Ran's figure disappeared at the portal entrance and then reappeared shortly afterward.

His body, which had been painstakingly restored to its original state using the power of the world, was once again left half-dead.

He held the bottle Chen Hansheng had given him between his pale lips.

His eyes gradually cleared from their cloudiness, and seeing the concerned people surrounding him, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, panting heavily, "I'll go back, but there's no one left."

Zhu Xingguo cautiously took out a replica of the Great Restoration Golden Pill stored in the aircraft and gave it to Mo Ran.

Upon seeing the item information, Mo Ran spat out Chen Hansheng's bottle and opened his mouth to swallow the pill.

Chen Hansheng frowned and analyzed, "It must be due to the teleportation. We left in different orders. I left early, so who was the last one to leave?"

As they were talking.

The three of them turned their gazes to Cheng Queyi without prior arrangement.

Cheng Queyi immediately panicked. "He was perfectly fine when I left! He even told me he'd heal me again after I left the tower!"

The three fell silent again.

"Never mind, it's a blessing in disguise," Chen Hansheng said. "Everyone, go back and rest. I'll have someone keep watch here and let you know if anything happens."

In the end.

Aside from Chen Hansheng returning to the group to take care of other matters...

Zhu Xingguo, Cheng Queyi, and Mo Ran did not leave.

There are still more than eight hours until midnight.

They wanted to keep waiting until Wang Wen emerged from the tower.

After such a long time, Wang Wen, who thought that no one would wait for him in either of his two lifetimes, finally found someone willing to put everything aside and wait for him to come out of the tower.

Old Master Gu once waited for him before he passed away, but he seemed to be in good health throughout his life. Given Wang Wen's current relentless pace of climbing the tower, it's hard to say who will go first.

That concludes the discussion.

For these few people at the entrance, this week's tower-climbing progress has come to an end.

Even though everyone's feelings were different as they "ascended" to the 600th floor, they were all praying for the same thing at this moment.

Wang Wen, come out quickly.

This week.

He Jiong found it very strange.

He discovered something.

In the first few days, Du Keke and he were in frequent contact.

It's very easy to ask the other person out for dinner, shopping, or a movie.

He was so relaxed that he once thought the two had officially started dating.

But things changed in the last few days.

I can't get him to come out.

They don't reply to messages very often.

There are now all sorts of excuses for making phone calls.

He couldn't understand it at all.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I've decided to ask for clarification today.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Du Keke is chatting and having afternoon tea with her best friend.

It's another weekend.

The day everyone eagerly awaited the tower's completion.

Basically, any big gatherings will be happening in the next couple of days.

People who have just survived a disaster will have different emotions than usual, and will likely be more vulnerable than usual.

If any outstanding Tower Climber are found, these next two days present the best opportunity.

However, Du Keke wasn't waiting for these things.

She was very upset.

She complained to her best friend, "Ugh, it's so annoying! Why isn't there a prince charming waiting for me?"

Her best friend, biting her straw, asked in bewilderment, "Weren't you getting along quite well with that Mr. He the other day?"

"What's so great about him!" Du Keke slammed down her Coffee in frustration. "When I first heard he knew some big shots, I thought he was a hidden millionaire. But what has he been doing for the past three or four days? Eating out, watching movies, going to amusement parks, and the few times he went shopping, it was all at the Four Seasons Plaza in Third Region! He hasn't even been to First Region, let alone Second Region!"

Her best friend was even more puzzled. "What does eating out and watching movies have to do with whether someone has money or not? Don't rich people eat? Besides, even if he doesn't have money now, as you said, he knows important people, which means he has potential, right? He'll definitely have a bright future, so what are you worried about?"

Du Keke looked at her best friend, feeling both helpless and amused. She said irritably, "Miss, you need to be more careful! Fairy tales are full of dreamers. What do you think the future is? How can you guarantee you'll be rich in the future if you don't have money now? Am I supposed to gamble my best years on someone else's future? If I win, great; but what if I lose? Who will give my youth back? Why don't I find a rich person now to at least not lose?"

"But..." Her best friend let go of the straw and asked doubtfully, "You didn't say that a few days ago, did you? I thought the great hero you told Mr. He about was real."

Du Keke laughed heartily.

I looked around.

Stirring the spoon in her cup with a disdainful look, she said, "Don't all men like this kind of thing? How can I make them believe my sudden change of heart if I don't say something nice?"

Her best friend tried to persuade her, "Coco, I think..."

"Ugh, another call! These persistent nuisances are so annoying!" Du Keke took out her phone and looked at the incoming call, her brows furrowed.

After taking a deep breath.

She answered the phone gently, "He Jiong, I'm having afternoon tea with my best friend. Would you like to join us?"
