It turns out that the Insect Chamber are indeed endless.

Not only was the second eight-hour period completed smoothly, but the two consecutive eight-hour periods that earned money were also completed without any doubt.

But 14 trillion in seven days is just a theoretical figure.

Just like how a 24-hour day can theoretically be divided into three 8-hour periods.

In fact, there is a fairly long rest period in the middle of each 8-hour shift.

It was fine at first; it only took a few minutes to finish.

It gets tougher as you go on.

Everyone else can sleep and rest inside the bubble, but Wang Wen cannot.

His body is the bridge between [the Unity with Heaven and Man] and [the Oath Scepter].

Once you fall asleep, this connection is broken.

The Scepter will then draw upon its own energy to fulfill the vows required.

Insufficient energy will forcibly end the vow, thus wasting the number of times you can achieve [Unity with Heaven and Man].

When she was once again in a daze and almost lost the power to keep up with her vow, Wang Wen made a special vow.

By making a vow, you will ensure that you stay healthy for a specified period of time, keeping your body in a state of full sleep and high energy at all times.

The time and energy required to make this state permanent far exceed eight hours.

After wasting an opportunity for [Unity with Heaven and Man], Wang Wen chose to have it take effect at the "specified time".

In other words, the first few minutes of each use of [Unity with Heaven and Man] are used to swear that this state will last for 8 hours, ensuring that one is in high spirits when doing serious business afterwards.

Unfortunately, even though the vows were fulfilled time and time again.

He inevitably showed signs of fatigue.

This is a kind of psychological exhaustion.

Repeating the same action every day.

It felt like driving at a constant speed on a flat, straight highway that seemed to stretch on forever.

There are no road conditions that require maneuvering or avoidance.

As long as you keep driving at a constant speed, the surrounding scenery will remain largely unchanged.

Over time, even if you're not lacking sleep, you'll still feel sleepy.

Wang Wen was able to persevere not only because her teammates took turns chatting with her, but also because of the resilience and perseverance she had developed in her past life.

Even so.

Starting from the 5th day, Wang Wen's rest intervals between each 8-hour period became longer and longer.

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.

Their interest in chatting and talking has also increased.

He even takes a nap occasionally.

Everyone could see the exhaustion beneath his forced cheerfulness.

After restoring the use of [Unity with Heaven and Man] twice in the last eight hours, the total number of uses was increased back to 4.

Wang Wen stopped this cycle and ceased making money.

The Point he earned by making a vow were barely enough for ten trillion.

It's two trillion less than expected.

That's the limit.

The prize pool for the current level of the aircraft game is still growing steadily, and it now exceeds 1.2 trillion.

It far exceeds the size of the Four Squares Formation by several times.

And it's still increasing.

The number of ticks per second has exceeded three million.

At this rate, the changes in the insects are almost invisible to the naked eye.

It expands and shrinks dozens of times per second, almost like a perpetual motion machine.

Don't even mention going through the portal.

Even trying to grab its mouth would be difficult.

One careless move and you could tear the insect to shreds.

There's no hope of going to the next level.

Wang Wen led the whole team to sit and rest in the hall.

He mainly needs to rest on his own.

Cheng Queyi diligently massaged her head and shoulders.

Wang Wen said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I'm not tired, it's just that making money is so boring, it's making me sick of it."

Mo Ran gritted her teeth and yelled at him, "Do you know how annoying your words are?"

The group did not leave the tower.

Wang Wen devoured too much space in this level, causing the insects to keep filling it back. The top of the insect wall was pushed up to an unknown height, and all the insects that fell down died instantly without exception. With such a large area, the number of insects that died at the same time was terrifying.

Every second, tens of thousands of insects are converted into reward Point.

No one would give up money that's been handed to them for free.

So everyone decided to wait until Sunday when the reset point was reached before leaving.

Fortunately, the team had Zhu Xingguo had an all-purpose storage space.

He got into position.

The automated washrooms have been built to be increasingly sophisticated and clean.

Barbecue grills, copper hot pots, iron pans for making pancakes, and rice cookers for cooking rice are all neatly arranged.

A wide variety of vegetables, fruits, meats, and seafood are available, categorized like a buffet, with quantities so large they need to be served in bowls.

This is a "player" who has taken item duplication to the extreme.

The supplies encountered in different checkpoints can be infinitely replicated once they pass through Zhu Xingguo's hands.

Especially now that Point are increasing, these ingredients that only require a few or tens of Point can be supplied without limit.

Anyway, if we can't finish it, it won't go to waste. We can wash it and sell it back to the World Tower to keep it fresh.

Everyone had to admit that, thanks to Zhu Xingguo's "Equal Exchange" mechanism, life inside the tower was better than life outside, even just in terms of food.

After all, some unusual ingredients can't be bought outside the tower even if you have the money.

For example, there's "nutrient soil," artificially synthesized using special technology. It tastes like soil but contains all the nutrients the human body needs.

For example, there is the meat of a deer-shaped monster that has been domesticated and raised by humans. Although it is meant for consumption, it is incredibly strong and often kills butchers.

In addition, there are things like deep-sea algae, snow-capped lotus, forest mushrooms, and desert trees.

There are countless varieties and numbers.

Once you leave the tower, you can't find anything to eat.

Unless you've already tasted the flavor inside the tower from Zhu Xingguo, who can use [Equal Exchange], you can only make do with some Gourmet Bread after leaving the tower to savor the experience a little and satisfy your taste buds.

Because [Equal Exchange] can only be used within the tower.

Zhu Xingguo can only bring one non- World Tower item per week.

It's already acting as Little Sun carrying Wang Wen's full energy.

There's no way to bring other ingredients.

Gourmet Bread can indeed mimic the flavors of something you've tasted before.

But that's the same old taste; no matter how freely you try to imitate it, it'll always be the taste from your memory.

It's impossible to create a new flavor out of nothing.

Even a slight increase or decrease in saltiness or blandness, or a slight increase or decrease in temperature, is unacceptable.

It is exactly as I remember it.

There will be no change.

It cannot replicate the unique taste created by using real ingredients.

Cheng Queyi was even troubled by the fact that she seemed to have gained weight.

That's not all.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhu Xingguo buried himself in the skills list and spent a long time browsing through them.

Surprisingly, they found all sorts of board games, playing cards, and other items.

Those who were interested gathered in small groups to play cards for entertainment.

Aside from Wang Wen's occasional meditations, spiritual awakenings, and studies of the [Heavenly Dipper True Canon (Advanced)] "copied" by Zhu Xingguo.

The other four, including Cheng Queyi, also participated in the card game.

Time slips away quietly.

It was 11:51 PM on Sunday night.

Insects continued to fall from the insect walls in the distance.

The reward Point are also constantly increasing.

However, the speed gradually dropped to around two million per second.

It's clear that even without Wang Wen's devouring, the insects are still replenishing their numbers quite quickly.

The prize pool displayed by the aircraft has reached a Point over 1.5 trillion points.

Everyone knew when to stop.

No longer greedy for more, I packed my things and prepared to leave the tower.

One by one, they departed amidst a white light.

Wang Wen looked around.

He nodded thoughtfully, reported to the aircraft that he was leaving the tower, and departed with the others.

The last wisp of white light from the teleportation disappeared.

The insects Insect Chamber no longer fall out.

Once the system resets at midnight, all the empty spaces disappear, and the hall returns to its initial state with four white walls.
