For several consecutive weeks, they entered the tower seamlessly.

Wang Wen was worried about the physical and mental condition of her team members.

Especially Zhu Xingguo, who has always been by their side and has never been absent, and Cheng Queyi, who joined the team early on, feel that they need to take a break.

So, ignoring their protests, he forcibly removed them from the team and told them to rest for a week.

Cheng Queyi tugged at Wang Wen's sleeve and said, "Then I'll go home for a week and come back next week. Please don't kick me again, senior!"

Wang Wen nodded.

She kept taking the props that Zhu Xingguo handed to her.

Listening to Zhu Xingguo nagging like a nagging wife:

"Master, I won't be by your side, remember to eat well and get plenty of rest."

"I've copied a lot of this 'Healthy Body Water' for you. Use it for drinking water, washing vegetables, and cooking. Don't skimp on it! I'll copy more when you finish it."

"Once you enter the tower, without my skills, you'll face a severe food shortage. The Gourmet Bread isn't an item and can't be stored. Here are a few hundred Ginseng Fruit for you to take. Although the item's effects are diminished by eating more, they can still be used as rations, albeit barely."

"The rare item [Spirit Grain] from floor 740 is very expensive. I only have a small handful left. If you're really craving rice, cook a small pot, but don't share it with others..."

"Bring plenty of healing items like [Great Restoration Golden Pill] and [Health Potion]. Use these to recover from minor injuries. Your energy is precious; conserve it wherever possible."

"..."

Only when Wang Wen looked at him helplessly did Zhu Xingguo stop searching and Yi Yi leave the Grand Plaza.

Cheng Queyi and Wang Wen waved goodbye.

She then turned to the thin boy, still worried, and instructed him, "While we're gone, please take good care of your senior, okay?"

The skinny little boy patted his chest and confidently assured him, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Wang Wen looked at the two of them speechlessly. "Excuse me, am I currently paralyzed on one side due to a stroke? It seems like I've been the one taking care of you, haven't I?"

Cheng Queyi disagreed, offering a reasoned analysis. "While the seniors were indeed taking care of us while we were climbing the tower, their excessive focus on climbing made them particularly troublesome in other aspects of our lives!"

"I never eat on time; when I'm hungry, I just grab whatever's available and make do."

"I drink very little water and prefer cold water to hot water."

"When resting or sleeping outdoors, we just sprinkle some powder around us; we can't even spread out our bedding properly, and we don't like using blankets."

Cheng Queyi pursed her lips, seemingly recalling a scene from the past, and said with a furrowed brow, "What if we catch a cold under those damp trees?"

Wang Wen: "..."

He was stunned.

The skinny little boy succinctly summarized. "Besides climbing towers, he's good for nothing."

Seeing Wang Wen trying to argue but having He Jiong to say, He Jiong, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, quickly focused on playing with his phone, repeatedly counting the numbers on his balance in his personal account, as if it wasn't 100 million but 100 million billion that he couldn't count no matter how many times he tried.

Actually, what Wang Wen really wanted to say was, "Why are there so many rules about climbing a tower?"

In my past life, I slept in piles of dung and piles of dead bodies during the hardest times. I must consider the shade of a tree a blessing.

Besides, given his current abilities, even if he catches a cold, shouldn't the concern be the cold virus itself?

But looking at Cheng Queyi and the boy's concerned eyes...

He closed his mouth again, keeping the words to himself.

There will always be some people in the world who soften your heart and make you reluctant to refute their good intentions.

These two people in front of me have no memories of their past lives.

They went this far purely out of genuine sincerity.

Faced with this sincere affection, Wang Wen couldn't bear to refuse it.

I used to be too obsessed with climbing towers and lost a lot.

It's rare for someone to have such a high starting point in their life, possessing a memory that surpasses that of most people by twenty years, and having an exceptional start with five masters.

Victory is in sight as we sprint to the 1000th floor.

Wang Wen didn't want to have any regrets.

One hour after leaving the tower.

Finally, they persuaded all those who needed to leave to go.

Wang Wen was organizing her props in the aircraft storage area.

Zhu Xingguo was right about one thing.

Without his [Equal Exchange].

Once inside the tower, everything in life will become inconvenient.

Although Wang Wen climbed the tower even before Zhu Xingguo, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go back to frugality.

We've long been accustomed to Zhu Xingguo's all-around logistics capabilities.

Without these things, the quality of life inside the tower will definitely drop significantly.

Fortunately, he was the All-Round Tower King in his past life, so he could survive even if he entered the tower alone, at least he wouldn't have trouble finding food and drink.

We really need to prepare more props.

Without Zhu Xingguo, the available resources were reduced by more than half, and the main force shifted from ordinary items to World Tower items that could be Point and retrieved at any time using points.

Some time ago, Ma Dong from the props market in the Second Region handed over the 10,000 basic props he had collected to Wang Wen.

The total price after the two settled the bill was less than ten million.

It's easy to imagine just how basic these props are.

Out of ten thousand items, not a single one was rare!

Most of them are common items that Point a few hundred points each.

The few items that cost over a thousand were all ordinary items from lower tower levels.

It's truly amazing where Ma Dong found so much "junk".

Fortunately, Wang Wen herself had quite a few good items, and after prioritizing and scouring the prop warehouses of several major conglomerates, she managed not to embarrass the Academy's prop warehouse.

The number of students in the Academy is increasing.

Some rules and regulations are also being gradually improved.

However, those are problems for Li He and Grandpa Gu to solve.

Just like the skinny little boy said, Wang Wen only knows how to climb towers and doesn't care about anything else.

Right now.

The basic props that Ma Dong found unexpectedly came in handy.

Basic items are considered basic because they don't have any particularly powerful effects.

It cannot heal wounds, subdue enemies, prolong life, or protect the body.

However, it can provide certain conveniences in daily life.

Just like the [Fuel Card] that Chen Hansheng made into a business card, it is a type of daily necessities.

After Wang Wen gave Zhu Xingguo a batch of these props to make copies, they were stored in the aircraft without being touched.

I thought I'd never have a chance to use it.

I never imagined I'd have a chance to play.

He inspected the props and got a general idea of their categories.

He took out his phone and started calling for help.

There are currently two open positions on the team.

Considering that the level must be full before floor 300 can be opened, otherwise random players will be matched into the team.

It's better to fill your own group beforehand and then join.

Furthermore, the profits from entering the tower with him were substantial.

Wang Wen needs to select as many people as possible who are worth "investing" in.

The first image that flashed through his mind was that of Mi Lailai.

He quickly shook his head.

They have their own team.

It's never a good thing to constantly break up other people's relationships.

Wang Wen continued to ponder.

I thought about it again and again.

The image in my mind finally settled on a group of people.

Those were "discarded members" of the Resource Team that had been idle for several weeks.

There were thirty people in total.

Speaking of Resource Team.

Since Zhu Xingguo was able to achieve self-sufficiency and infinite cycles, supplies like [Health Potion] no longer needed to be provided by Resource Team.

The supplies they obtained each week were added to the Academy's inventory according to a profit-sharing ratio.

This can be considered as maintaining the tradition of the Resource Team and not disbanding.

But those "eliminated members" seem to have had a rather tragic fate.

The resource-gathering mission is over, and Wang Wen hasn't assigned them any new tasks in the tower.

As a result, those people have been living on the basic salary provided by the Universal Love program recently.

It's been a bit tough.

even so.

The feedback from Chen Hansheng was that the thirty people were waiting silently.

There were no negative emotions or complaints mentioned.

His character is truly impeccable.

Wang Wen was very satisfied.

Starting today, we've decided to grant them the privilege of "rising to prominence."
