Having experienced so many things in succession, Wang Wen felt increasingly that the rules of the World Tower were strange.

It doesn't seem to be the kind of completely hostile organization that wants to eliminate the Tower Climber.

Instead, it seems to be about preventing or even preventing Tower Climber from staying in the tower's interior world on a certain floor.

Especially in Wang Wen's Reincarnation, the kind of targeted obstruction was as if the heavens, which were originally above all living beings and should have ignored the world and treated all people equally, had opened their heavenly eyes and focused their attention on him, this small individual.

Wang Wen always felt that there was a pair of hands pushing him forward from behind, while there was another pair of hands blocking him from the front.

The feeling of being caught in the middle made it hard for him to breathe.

Exhaustion grows daily, yet I'm unwilling to stop.

He could clearly sense that all his confusion would be answered after reaching the thousandth floor.

Like the urgent need for an answer when you've racked your brains to solve a long-standing puzzle.

He wanted to see the answer.

Climbing a thousand floors requires strength.

Formidable strength.

In his previous life, when he reached the 900th floor, he and his four teammates possessed a total of 47 extraordinary skills upgraded to level eight or nine. Even the extraordinary skill [ The Their Own Way ], which allows him to copy other people's skills and coordinate flexibly, was upgraded to level eight or nine. Furthermore, they gathered nearly 90% of the resources of the First Consortium, including dozens of unique treasures, thousands of rare items, and countless ordinary items.

even so.

They were still stuck on the 929th floor.

To be precise, the journey of the group actually ended on the Cheng Queyi died. The additional 29 floors were just Wang Wen's desperate struggle. The World Tower levels are basically composed of mechanisms. Without a master of Breaking Ignorance Level of Mechanism Art, Wang Wen, an All-Round Tower King with five entry-level masters, couldn't hold out for long.

at the moment.

This lifetime.

Wang Wen alone possessed Five-Fold Enlightenment.

There's no need to worry about basic skills.

However, the number and level of extraordinary skills within the team are still far from sufficient.

Not to mention the extremely rare and unique rare treasures.

Based on his personal strength, he has basically recovered and even surpassed his previous self at level 900.

However, in terms of team strength, it seems they're only about halfway there.

To reach the 1000th floor with the current conditions, Wang Wen either needs to spend time gradually improving the team's overall strength.

Alternatively, we can try a different approach.

Try to master the ability to "defy the rules".

Clearly, the Human Face that could destroy the spirit that forcibly seized the right to reside in the Scepter possessed such an ability.

Wang Wen looked at the other person with anticipation.

As a result, the Human Face looked at the Little Sun, swallowed hard, and said with some helplessness that eliminating the artifact spirit was purely a survival instinct.

It's a survival instinct, just like eating and defecating.

As for specific knowledge such as "how to defecate" or "the complete process from eating to defecation," it may require consuming the energy of three hundred " Wang Wen " to "unlock the memory."

Wang Wen expressionlessly extinguished the Little Sun in her palm.

Three hundred?

I've only managed to save up this little bit of energy, and you think you can swallow me whole?

That's a bit too blatant of them to eat like that!

Wang Wen did not immediately agree to the "deal".

He suspected that this thing could sense the total amount of energy in his body.

They fabricated a dubious and ambiguous excuse to try and monopolize it.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem very intelligent and did not know the source of these energies, so they only mentioned a number like "three hundred".

If they knew that these "three hundred Wang Wen " were merely the result of a few days of prayers by the local commoners, who knows how outrageous their demands would have been.

Wang Wen put Human Face on her phone to sleep, indicating that she needs time to think about it.

The Human Face finally crawled into the Scepter with a relieved expression.

The issue regarding the [ Oath Scepter ] is temporarily resolved.

I came here.

They not only obtained divine power, a high-quality energy source.

They also successfully brought the hidden dangers within the Scepter to the surface by having two high-quality cannon fodder delivered to their door for free.

Double happiness!

Wang Wen finally felt a little relieved.

He watched as the young emperor arranged for the entire nation to observe a moment of silence and ordered the various prefectures to bury the numerous corpses that had already died in the surrounding areas.

Just like at the beginning, they carried young and middle-aged people to various places to inspect the specific casualties.

The statistics clearly demonstrate just how vulnerable humanity is in the face of disaster.

Wang Wen lamented that if the plague had been eradicated sooner, so many people wouldn't have died.

He was thinking to himself that he was indeed too weak, that even a spur-of-the-moment act of kindness was so difficult and forced.

It's like an adult seeing ants struggling to move stones on the ground, suddenly wanting to help them remove the stones, only to find they can't lift them!

It's really ugly.

Hearing Wang Wen's remark, the young man remained silent.

The middle-aged martial arts master took up the conversation, expressing his insights in local dialect.

He said.

The eighteen levels of hell require enduring the suffering of the preceding seventeen levels, but who can say for sure if we are currently in the eighteenth level of hell? After all, living in this world involves experiencing many sufferings similar to those in the seventeenth level of hell. Death, perhaps, is precisely leaving hell and returning to that truly beautiful world, free from war, conflict, pain, and torment.

Leaving this world doesn't necessarily mean death; it could be rebirth!

Wang Wen found this theory very novel when she first heard it.

He thought for a moment, then said to the middle-aged martial arts master, "Since you're so open-minded, why don't you teach me your ultimate techniques?"

It was originally intended as a provocative joke.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged martial arts master laughed heartily and replied nonchalantly, "What's so difficult about that? If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

The Nine Heavens Double Yang Art, according to the Martial Saint, is a superior skill that, when mastered to the Great Perfection level, allows one to unleash Ninefold Force of power; it is a technique for utilizing true qi.

Wang Wen had a foundation in various cultivation methods in the early stages, and after learning from the Martial Saint for less than half a day, she grasped the essence of using true qi.

It's a genuine art of energy manipulation!

He copied the methods of the middle-aged martial arts master to manipulate energy.

The same amount of energy resulted in several times the destructive power.

No wonder it's Ninefold Force that even a transparent barrier can't stop!

In addition to gaining divine power and resolving hidden dangers, Wang Wen also acquired a new skill: the art of manipulating energy.

It turns out that besides the double happiness, there was an unexpected surprise as well.

This trip was very rewarding.

It's time to leave.

I glanced at the time displayed on the aircraft tower.

Around 4 a. m. on Sunday.

Although there are still 20 hours until the reset, it's impossible to climb any higher. Even if each subsequent floor takes 17 minutes to fill the progress bar, you can only climb a maximum of 70 floors in 20 hours.

This doesn't even take into account the unexpected situations that might occur with integer levels and special stages.

If you can't reach the 800th floor, random numbers are meaningless.

Wang Wen nodded, finally letting go of her own guilt and deciding to end her journey and leave the tower.

Everyone hadn't had much rest during this period and was quite exhausted. When they learned that Wang Wen had decided to leave the tower, even though they hadn't reached the reset point, they were still quite happy that they could leave the tower sooner and rest.

No matter how much they support Wang Wen, she is still just a mortal, and she will feel tired if she doesn't sleep well or eat enough.

Moreover, it seems that Wang Wen is the only person in the entire world who keeps trying to reach the 1,000th floor.

Other Tower Climber are particularly adept at taking things as they come.

Most people climb towers for a living.

Once you achieve your life goals, the motivation to climb the tower isn't as strong.

The reason why Wang Wen's team was able to keep pushing the tower was inseparable from Wang Wen's own leadership and perseverance.

If it weren't for Wang Wen.

Others may have ended their tower-climbing journey long ago after reaching the 700th floor for the first time and obtaining the unique treasure of the 700th floor, and settled down to enjoy the lower floors.

Just as Chen Hansheng, Song Ping'an, and others had thought.

You're already number one in the world, why are you still working so hard?

He lacks neither fame nor money, and with his immense power, everyone treats him with utmost respect. What more could he possibly want? He could simply choose a burial plot, lie there in luxury, and die content—that would be enough to bring him peace, wouldn't it?

Wang Wen did not explain her thoughts to them.

This time, after leaving the tower, he decided to temporarily slow down his progress towards the 1000th floor, and instead bring as many of his own people as possible to the 700th floor to obtain the treasure, ensuring that he would have more options in case of unforeseen circumstances.

He used up all of " Wang Wen's" energy to create another 10,000 light machine guns, leaving them for the young emperor and the middle-aged martial saint as a way of thanking them for their care.

In particular, the energy manipulation techniques taught by the middle-aged martial arts master.

He benefited greatly from it.

After that.

Based on previous tests, it was calculated that one in ten thousand could feed dozens of people.

It consumed the energy of about ten " Wang Wen " and fed hundreds of thousands of people at once.

This time, there was no threat of plague.

Those who had been fed all passed the progress review for the spacecraft.

The negative numbers are dropping rapidly.

It dropped back to zero within a few minutes, and then started to rise again from zero.

Without any unexpected problems, it smoothly rose to 100 points.

The aircraft's notification arrived as expected.

[Level progress reached 100%, level 700 cleared]

[Level progress is full]

[Please proceed to the next level within five minutes, or you will be forcibly teleported.]

Hmph!

Having worked so hard to get to this point, it's definitely worth it to complete the game.

Wang Wen led the group, and in front of the young emperor and the middle-aged martial saint, steadily entered the teleportation portal and disappeared.

Standing on the ground floor of the 701st floor, the group looked at the double-layered "Survival Chamber" ahead and announced their exit from the tower in unison.

It was a little after 4 a. m. on Sunday.

The entrance to the World Tower is quiet, but not deserted.

Among the few Tower Climber.

Five people stood out in particular.

Because many people waited day and night in the square, just to be the first to welcome these five people out of the tower.

These people didn't know when the target would leave the tower.

But that didn't stop them from waiting day and night.

after all.

Everyone gets paid a salary; there's nothing shameful about earning money.

As soon as the five people stepped out of the tower, groups of people rushed forward to greet them.

Show concern and care.

Hot towels, hand warmers, even power banks and data cables were provided. I really don't know which clever person was worried that people's phones would run out of battery after leaving the tower, ensuring that they could charge them anytime.

Wang Wen, the skinny little boy, Cheng Queyi, Mo Ran, Zhu Xingguo.

As time goes on, the world's number one player gradually gets used to being the center of attention.

They casually responded to the sounds around them and walked together through the portal towards the Academy.

As soon as I arrived at the Academy gate, I saw another group of people waiting there.

Upon seeing Wang Wen and her group appear, one of the people waiting at the door rushed out and said in a low voice to Wang Wen's side, "My dad's grave has been dug up!!"
