Petty
It's that exciting time of dividing the spoils... the moment to settle the accounts.
This time, excluding everything else, we'll focus on Point integers.
A total of 11.5 trillion.
One trillion of those dollars was obtained by Wang Wen through a vow.
The other 1.5 trillion is a reward for eliminating pests, which is just a small amount that comes along with the fulfillment of the vow.
Wang Wen still found it troublesome and planned to divide the total into 10% for each person and 60% for herself.
They were stopped by four people in a neat row.
Mo Ran: "Stop!"
Zhu Xingguo: "Master, calm down!"
Cheng Queyi: "Senior, please don't do that!"
The skinny little boy. "Squeak..."
Wang Wen looked at the four people whose expressions had changed drastically with a strange expression.
Especially the thin little boy who fainted immediately.
Puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Queyi looked at Zhu Xingguo, Zhu Xingguo looked at Mo Ran.
Mo Ran hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I did contribute to the Four Squares Formation last time, but I really didn't do anything this time. Stop with your nouveau riche attitude and don't try to give me any money!"
"It's the rules," Wang Wen thought, feeling rather helpless as they entered this tedious phase again. "How can the rules we agreed on be changed so easily?"
"Rules may be rigid, but people can be flexible; we can't be inflexible and stuck in old ways." Mo Ran pointed to the thin, unconscious boy. "If you really want to share, share it with your friends, don't drag me into it."
Zhu Xingguo, unusually, stepped forward to advise, "Master, this is really too much; it's not good."
Wang Wen thought for a moment.
He suggested, "How about this, I won't split the 100,000 I earned, but the 15,000 reward from killing the bugs can be split among the four of you, right?"
Mo Ran shook his head. "That won't work either."
Wang Wen clenched her fist and threatened him. "If this isn't allowed and that isn't allowed, do you want to get beaten up?"
Mo Ran remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics. "Beating me won't work either; the 15,000 yuan for killing the insects wasn't really my problem anyway."
Wang Wen was depressed.
The situation remained deadlocked for a time.
Those Tower Climber the tower who were passing by overheard the discussion.
Perhaps the darkness prevented them from recognizing Wang Wen and the others.
All I heard were phrases like "15,000 divided among four people".
He let out a mocking laugh.
While walking, he complained, "The lower levels are just lower levels. After climbing for a week, I only have a little over 10,000 Point, maybe a hundred levels at most? Four people are sharing the points, and they're still pushing and shoving each other around. It's so stingy. They'll just give away a few thousand points each. Forget it!"
"Look," Wang Wen said, spreading her hands at Mo Ran, whose face was ashen, "Even passersby are laughing at us. Are you still going to keep pushing and shoving each other?"
Mo Ran glanced at the area of the martial arts ban, took two steps back, turned around, grabbed the person who had just spoken by the collar, and dragged him back.
Just as the opponent was about to launch a counterattack, he was caught by the 500-layer unique treasure [Immortal-Binding Rope (High-level)] that Zhu Xingguo casually threw out.
The more you move, the tighter it becomes.
It hurts and I sweat when I move.
The opponent shouted for help from his friends, while yelling, "What kind of skill is it to sneak up outside the tower? If you've got the guts, find a place to fight it out properly! A bunch of newbies are giving you face by relying on your crappy gear... Holy crap? What the hell?"
He was stunned by the information about the items scanned by the aircraft, including phrases like "500 floors" and "unique treasure".
Friends who heard the shouts nearby rushed over.
They were eagerly preparing to fight and rescue the people.
As soon as he got closer, his gaze lingered on the faces of Wang Wen and Mo Ran.
After a long pause, he cautiously asked, "Excuse me, are you Team Leader Mo Ran from the Academy?"
Mo Ran rolled her eyes and said to the person who approached her, "Your friend said he wants to find a place to fight. You guys discuss it, and let me know when you've decided on a time and place. I'll bring people over later. It can be a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, it's fine with me."
"Wow!!!"
A group of people jumped up and down excitedly.
The one bound by the [Immortal-Binding Rope (High-Level)] was sweating profusely from the pain, yet kept bowing and scraping to Mo Ran, saying with an embarrassed smile, "Team Leader Mo, it's all a misunderstanding! The lighting wasn't bright enough, so we didn't recognize you at first. We've longed to visit the Academy for so long, and we've always wanted the chance to go in and pay our respects to you!"
"Come on!" Mo Ran snorted irritably, "Today is the day when everyone leaves the tower. So many experts are leaving at this time. What gave you the guts to start a fight right away?"
The one who was tied up was both anxious and helpless. "Look, this is just a misunderstanding! I kept hearing everyone talking about five thousand or ten thousand, and I figured that even the highest Tower Climber couldn't earn that much, so I got a little carried away..."
Wang Wen gestured with her chin, indicating to Zhu Xingguo to put away the props.
He smiled at Mo Ran, whose face was dark, and said, "What they said is right. Fifteen thousand, each person can just get a few thousand, and that'll be fine."
Mo Ran tossed his head, his face dark, and as he let the group go, he said coldly, "Just because you hear 15,000 doesn't mean 15,000 points! Be more careful next time!"
The released men bowed and scraped repeatedly.
Xu Yuan exited the Grand Plaza and entered through the portal. Once he reached a secluded spot on the street, he grumbled indignantly, "So what if the tower is tall? They call it '15,000 points'? Is it 150 million points or something? That's ridiculous! They're just putting on airs!"
His friend put his arm around his shoulder and laughed, "Don't be angry. You finally made it out of the tower, let's go get you a late-night snack to welcome you back! Besides, he's a world-class expert, maybe he's worth 1.5 trillion, haha..."
"Bullshit!"
"If I had that much money, I'd eat shit while standing on my head!"
"Hahaha.."
In the end.
Wang Wen ultimately failed to divide the money equally.
Following only the most basic rules, the 1.5 trillion share was divided among the four people, each receiving 10%.
even so.
Everyone received 150 billion Point.
Mo Ran looked at his account balance, which was increasing by digits every week, and complained that he had too much money to spend. He said he wouldn't come back next week if it was still this boring money-spending.
Wang Wen looked at these lazy people who were content with the status quo and had no intention of climbing to the thousandth floor with a sense of helplessness.
But there's nothing we can do.
Some people like to make history, while others prefer quiet and peaceful times.
Those who aspire to be heroes cannot expect everyone else to do the same.
Some things truly must be borne by an individual alone.
Pioneers are often somewhat lonely.
He finished distributing the money.
Looking at the more than 11.2 trillion yuan he still had left.
I know that next time I go into the tower to strengthen my character, I'll be able to reach the edge of level nine.
The question is whether to first strengthen the overall constitution to level nine or extract the extraordinary skill first; this requires careful consideration.
The former represents a steady improvement, but with little change.
The latter involves risk but offers a chance to achieve great success.
After all, aside from the trillion-level eighth-tier and the ten-trillion-level ninth-tier, the remaining two hundred billion could easily upgrade the newly acquired extraordinary skill to the seventh level.
If you're lucky enough to draw an exceptionally powerful skill, you might unleash a devastating attack, eliminating the need for tedious farming and allowing you to directly charge into the tower.
Wang Wen shook her head.
Let's not dwell on these things for now.
I was just about to ask everyone if they were alright and if they wanted to seamlessly enter the tower with me.
Then I noticed that my phone, which had regained signal, started receiving messages continuously.
He took out his phone and looked through it.
Filter out some meaningless messages and reply to some friends' concerns.
Finally, one message caught my eye.
