A Strange Special Level

Wang Wen pulled the restless, thin little boy back, reassuring him to stay in the center of the hall.

I and three others each took a section of the wall and began killing the insects.

Each of these insects Point 100 points.

Each time a bug dies, the remaining bugs gain a few points.

Wang Wen, who was not yet skilled enough, was discouraged by this challenge.

Now that he has some trump cards, he's back to see what's so strange about this situation.

Special levels of this type only appear at very high levels.

When you encounter this special level at a very high level, you often have to keep fighting until you reach the last boss, who becomes the strongest BOSS. Defeating the boss will allow you to clear the level.

It's a test of both hard skills and physical fitness.

However, the fact that we can encounter it on the 20th floor suggests that someone with the strength of only the 20th floor likely lacks the strength and stamina to kill the last one.

According to the principle that the World Tower should not block the way, it is unreasonable for this type of level to appear on the lower floors of the tower.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will definitely be a shortcut that allows you to clear lower levels of the tower.

Wang Wen's goal was to see what the shortcut was and whether she could make some money by using this special checkpoint.

The others discovered that these insects, which could be killed with a single blow, actually rewarded a whopping 100 Point each!

I was instantly filled with passion!

While the amount of money earned in the Four Squares Formation is impressive, it requires a long period of accumulation, and the Point reward is only seen at the very end.

Right now, killing one grants an immediate reward, and seeing the team's prize pool soar, everyone is experiencing the real thrill of "farming money."

Cheng Queyi was the slowest; the fact that she could take down two of them in a second with such a small mechanism was a testament to her superb Mechanism Art.

Mo Ran was much more ruthless.

Even without the [Thunder Fury Knuckleduster], he still has the [Dharma Hand], which, when he puts on the gauntlets, can smash through a large section of wall with a single punch.

On average, each punch can kill more than a dozen!

He alternated between his arms, striking like a human pile driver, constantly shattering layer upon layer of "walls." The insects kept squeezing out, but before they could even spread their wings, they were blasted to pieces again.

In the blink of an eye, he had already eliminated hundreds of insects.

Zhu Xingguo was even more outrageous.

Take the Divine Power Light Gun directly from the [Equal Exchange] and blast a beam of light at the wall!

With his current combination of [Equal Exchange] and [Universal Advancement], the number of items he possesses is practically inexhaustible!

Level 5 [Equal Exchange] allows you to purchase the target item 16 times.

The level 5 [Universal Advancement] skill can duplicate four copies of items that cannot be advanced.

After the four duplicated items are sold into [Equal Exchange], each item becomes an independent target, and each can be purchased 16 times.

This means you now have 64 of these items in the [Equal Exchange] section, and you can buy as many as you want as long as you have enough Point.

Once you've used up most of them, you can use the [Universal Advancement] feature to duplicate four more copies and sell them back, increasing the purchase quantity by 64 copies.

This process repeats in an infinite loop.

Everything that passes through Zhu Xingguo's hands becomes infinite.

The only downside is that a unique Arcana item still cannot be obtained in a second.

During the testing process, after the first advancement, unique treasures will have changes in their effects and attributes, and the suffix "(Higher Tier)" will appear after the item name.

Normally, using [Universal Advancement] in this situation would duplicate the item, but the unique treasure was not duplicated, and its second advancement was still successful.

The item's effect remained unchanged; the only difference was the addition of "(High-level)" after "(High-level)" to complete the upgrade.

For example, the full name of Wang Wen's [Oath Scepter] is now: [Oath Scepter (High-Rank (High-Rank (High-Rank)))]

This is absolutely outrageous!

However, apart from unique treasures, any other item can be produced infinitely and self-sufficiently, provided there is enough time (the cooldown required for [Universal Advancement]) and money (the Point required for [Equal Exchange]).

In this light, Zhu Xingguo, in a sense, reached the concept of "infinity" before Wang Wen.

At this moment, he was recklessly bombarding the insect wall with the "Divine Power Light Gun," a non- World Tower item he had obtained on the 720th floor.

A single blow blasted a hole through it.

One shot and a gun is ruined.

The Divine Power Light Gun, which Point 800 points, is particularly useful here. It offers excellent value for money, and a single shot can Point you over ten times the points.

Its insecticidal efficiency is much higher than that of Mo Ran.

Cheng Queyi saw that her teammates' firepower was becoming increasingly fierce.

Then look at your toy-like little contraption.

Especially after hundreds of insects have died, they grow larger and larger, reaching half a person's height, and even small mechanisms cannot kill a single one in half a day.

She pouted angrily.

Not to be outdone, they immediately unleashed [All-Metal Storm].

Wang Wen, who was watching an invisible giant hand slowly pinching an insect against the wall next to her, suddenly looked up.

High above, layers of metal panels appeared out of thin air, as dense and distinct as fish scales.

Each fish scale, once opened, revealed a dark, protruding gun barrel.

At the very center of the metal panel is a massive, fully-aimed, auto-aiming heavy cannon.

With a flick of Cheng Queyi's finger...

The sky was filled with streaks of light cutting through the air.

Every few seconds, a beam of light, as thick as a person's embrace, would be fired from the central heavy cannon, drenching the target.

Aside from Cheng Queyi's location, the insect wall in front of her suffered its heaviest Destruction blow since the level's inception.

All the insects were smashed before they could even touch the ground.

The entire wall continued to extend deeper inside.

The insects' rate of expulsion and growth couldn't keep up with the rate of crushing at the front end.

Wang Wen saw it clearly.

The team prize pool displayed on the aircraft instantly exceeded 100,000 Point.

Just then...

The corpses of all the insects in the entire hall disappeared.

The insect, which had grown to be more than a person tall, instantly reverted to its tiny form when it first entered the level.

What happened?

Wang Wen squinted her eyes.

In the distance, Zhu Xingguo was still gazing intently at the Steel Firmament above.

Mo Ran stopped what he was doing and picked up a shrunken insect to examine it.

This is the hurdle.

Something strange was about everything.

The special level that was only available on floor 590 appears on floor 20.

Both the rewards and the strength required to pass the level seem beyond the reach of those Tower Climber lower levels of the tower.

This was the first time Wang Wen encountered this level.

The team was already quite strong.

Leaving aside him and Mi Lailai, the other three all have strength exceeding one hundred levels.

However, they failed to complete the game and were discouraged.

Now I'm coming again.

Except for the skinny little boy.

The remaining four are all at least at the level of level 600.

They did bring out some different changes.

There is still no sign of customs reopening.

Is there really no way to pass this level?

Wang Wen shook her head inwardly.

impossible.

There are no completely blocked checkpoints.

There must be a way to pass this level; it's just that we haven't discovered it yet.

He mimicked Mo Ran's gesture, waving his hand to use his energy to grab an insect for observation.

A short time for reflection.

The insect grew to the size of a basketball.

Caught by the "air," it thrashed and struggled wildly, its mouth wide open as if biting at Wang Wen, threatening and intimidating her.

Wang Wen's observational gaze swept over its mouth and then suddenly stopped.

It seems I've seen something.

He couldn't help but lean forward and slowly approach the insect's wide-open mouth.
