Investigating the Existence of Rules
"Boss, did I mess this up?"
He looked at the skill information with He Jiong expression. "I copied someone else's skill, but the level has to be my own. Isn't that terrible? Someone else's level nine Great Roc Spreads Wings becomes a level one Toad Kicks in my hands. Even the most awesome divine skill will be useless!"
"You'll become powerful once you reach a higher level, and some extraordinary skills are incredibly strong even at level one," Wang Wen casually comforted He Jiong, but her mind was already on other people.
copy.
Upon seeing this skill, a figure flashed through his mind.
If I remember correctly, this skill was the main extraordinary skill possessed by one of the two other young men in the team assigned to him by the No. First Consortium in his previous life, a young man who liked to call him "Old Wang".
His skill at the time helped the team create more varied tactical combinations.
The effect of releasing various types of extraordinary skills twice in a short period of time can be qualitatively transformative.
Especially certain rare skills that have a limited number of uses.
Although the target needs to use the skill once before it can be copied.
And once copied, it can only be used once. After the skill effect ends, it will revert to its original form, [The Their Own Way]. If you want to use it a second time, you have to find someone to "copy" it again.
But this already had a terrible effect.
This effectively doubles the number of times the skill can be used.
All extraordinary skills with limited uses are generally not too bad.
Limiting the number of uses is itself a constraint on its power.
[The Their Own Way] alleviates this constraint in a certain sense.
"Boss, now that we've collected all the supplies and drawn the extraordinary skill, should I just go back to the 20th floor of the Insect Chamber?" He Jiong looked at Wang Wen with eager anticipation.
The skinny little boy chimed in, "If you want to stay, I can too! Last week, I was afraid of scaring my mom, so I only transferred a few tens of millions to her, and she's been calling me nonstop asking questions. It's good to hide in the tower for a while and have some peace and quiet."
"No rush," Wang Wen shook her head at the two of them, "Let's test their skills first."
He used [Same-Floor Teleportation] to make He Jiong copy.
The appearance of [The Their Own Way] is an unexpected delight.
This wasn't taken into account in the original plan, so we need to add more targeted testing content now.
The purpose of copying [Same-Floor Teleportation] is to split up and team up separately the next time we enter the tower, and see if we'll run into each other in the Insect Chamber.
If we actually encounter them in the Insect Chamber on the 20th floor, how will it be counted when we clear the game?
Does it count as both teams clearing the level, or does it count as whoever reaches 1000 first?
This is what makes [the Their Own Way] so terrifying.
It can detect the existence of rules.
Although the possibility of finding it is still very far away.
However, there is endless joy in fighting against nature.
Actually, what Wang Wen really wanted to test was the effect of [Unity with Heaven and Man] being copied.
Unfortunately, He Jiong's skills haven't been upgraded yet, and even after copying [Unity with Heaven and Man], the duration is only 1 hour, making it not very useful.
Furthermore, since he lacks the Five-Fold Enlightenment, it's very likely that even using [Unity with Heaven and Man] wouldn't achieve the effect Wang Wen desired.
The worst outcome is that it doesn't even qualify as a backup battery.
Therefore, Wang Wen was not in a hurry, and there was no opportunity to use the [Unity with Heaven and Man] at this moment.
It's the same as testing it again next time you need to use it.
He Jiong dutifully copied the extraordinary technique used by Wang Wen.
Then it became clear that [His Their Own Way] had changed to [Same-Floor Teleportation].
The [Same-Floor Teleportation] effect is the same if it hasn't been upgraded; the only difference is the 24-hour cooldown.
However, the cooldown time here is not very meaningful to He Jiong, because once this [Same-Floor Teleportation] is used, it will revert to [The Their Own Way].
He Jiong, however, now had the ability to lead a team into specific levels.
This is a real-life example of the "some skills are already very strong at level one" that Wang Wen mentioned earlier.
He Jiong felt the power of the case and was very happy.
He looked incredibly happy.
He racked his brains and analyzed, "Then I can help bring people into the Insect Chamber in the future! When the boss uses Same-Floor Teleportation, I'll copy it once, and the next time I can form a separate team and bring people into the Insect Chamber!"
"No rush." Wang Wen patted his arm with a smile, "Your skill is very useful. Let's develop it little by little and not limit our thinking to a single point."
"Oh, oh?" He Jiong echoed, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Seeing how hard Wang Wen was working to kill the insects these past two weeks, he's been thinking about how to change the situation.
When I acquire new skills, I habitually think about how to combine them for insect-fighting.
Upon hearing that Wang Wen planned to explore other uses, [she was] impressed.
I really couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Seeing his bewildered look, Wang Wen smiled and said nothing more.
He turned to look at the total number of Point he currently had.
A month of seamless tower entry, one Four Squares Formation and three Insect Chamber, Point 25 trillion points.
That's enough for him to reach level nine twice.
The remaining question is which level of level nine to choose.
Should we focus on overall physique? Or should we try leveling a specific extraordinary skill to level nine in one go and see the effect?
Or, should we extract new extraordinary skills?
The test results for [The Their Own Way] are obvious; it's definitely the skill I remembered.
From this perspective...
This extraordinary skill was only discovered by that young man 19 years later.
Now He Jiong has gotten his hands on it ahead of time.
It's as if Wang Wen changed the young man's fate.
Unless He Jiong dies, this extraordinary skill will be irrelevant to the other party. Without such a powerful skill, the young man's fate will probably be much more difficult.
He would need to work much harder to reach the heights he achieved in his previous life.
Wang Wen thought for a moment.
Although their relationship wasn't as close as Cheng Queyi's, who teamed up to climb towers for over a decade right after graduation, they were ultimately teammates who collaborated later on.
They were comrades-in-arms who had gone through thick and thin together and trusted each other.
Right now, my actions have made the other person's "journey" difficult.
I should find an opportunity to help.
Unfortunately, those two were personnel assigned by the group later on.
I didn't know them at all twenty years ago.
Judging from his age, that young man is probably only a seven or eight-year-old kid.
Wang Wen rubbed her forehead and gave up on her plan to take action herself.
I've decided to go back and ask Chen Hansheng for help again.
Based on the name and the vaguely mentioned hometown address, we should be able to find the target by following the clues.
Giving them some money gives them more options in life; they don't necessarily have to risk their lives in the tower, and they can live a slightly easier life.
Figure this out.
Wang Wen stopped worrying about it.
My skills are decent, but I don't have any urgent need to reach level nine.
In comparison, focusing on overall physical constitution and acquiring new extraordinary skills is more worthwhile.
Especially extraordinary skills; if someone takes away certain skills that are powerful enough to defy fate, you'll regret it to the core.
Since that's the case.
[Same-Floor Teleportation] The selected level will not be moved; there will be no penalty teleportation if you enter within five minutes.
Take advantage of this time.
Wang Wen spent 11 trillion to enhance her entire constitution to level nine.
They drew their ninth time in one go.
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two extraordinary skills he had just acquired.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he led his team to start the challenge.
The World Tower has 500 floors.
It's different from the previous hundreds of floors.
There are still some old friends on this floor who need to be visited.
In particular, we need to check whether those stranded individuals are behaving themselves and causing any trouble.
However, it was also noted that there was a "little" Fox of unknown age inside the level.
He had a bit of a headache.
Wang Wen decided to go in and properly resolve this issue.
