The World Tower is Wang Wen's most important asset now.
Without this part, his strength would be reduced by at least half.
Upon hearing the other party say that they would try to isolate themselves from the things in the World Tower, they immediately became wary.
The high priest saw that he remained silent.
He patiently explained, "Cultivating imagination requires you to comprehend the true meaning of the world, to express yourself, to feel, and to listen. The more attentive you are, the more the world will respond. Now think about it: if the world knows you are a savage plunderer, surrounded by the aura of plunder, how can it be willing to communicate with you? Therefore, do not use any material or ability plundered from the world, including your so-called extraordinary skills. Even the fewer of these Tower Climber around you, the better. Sincerity is the most basic attitude for communication."
That concludes their conversation.
Even long after the high priest left, Wang Wen was still pondering.
The High Priestess, upon returning to her new hideout on the Western Continent, faced a rare moment of skepticism from her companions after they learned that she had indeed taught the people of the Eastern Continent the methods of cultivating imagination.
Their companions believed that the barbarians of the Eastern Continent were not qualified to communicate with the world.
Moreover, they already possess plundered goods; if they were to gain the ability to communicate, they would completely crush the Western Continent.
The high priest smiled mysteriously.
He told his companions that to cultivate imagination, one must isolate oneself from the World Tower's plunder, just like in the Western Continent. Therefore, once Wang Wen began cultivating, he would inevitably be in his weakest period as Tower Climber.
At that time.
This is the perfect opportunity for the Western Continent to officially return and unify the two continents!
The companions then understood the high priest's good intentions.
yes!
The investigation shows that the situation in the Eastern Continent has changed drastically. Wang Wen is now in complete control, and once he dies, the rest of the country will be leaderless and can be manipulated at will.
As expected of the High Priest!
The people of the Western Continent were extremely excited and dispersed to continue their investigation and surveillance, hoping to witness Wang Wen's weakest moment.
Luo Shan has always enjoyed watching live streams.
In particular, watching live streams of life in the slums increases his sense of happiness about his own life every time he watches them.
These kinds of live-streamed lifestyles often involve some small interactions between the streamer and the viewers.
For example, there was that skinny, Kidney Deficiency Bro who lived off the money given to him by the audience every day.
As long as the audience pays, they'll eat whatever they want and stay wherever they want.
Luo Shan had previously given tips and instructed the recipients on how to spend the money.
But those were all minor incidents.
At most, it's only a few hundred Point.
But recently...
He became infatuated with a new live streamer.
Known as the goddess of the slums.
This "slum goddess" has a livestreaming style that is somewhat similar to, yet different from, that of the Kidney Deficiency Bro."
Similarly, it also involves viewers making requests and fulfilling them.
The difference is that her reward system has a threshold; you need at least 1,000 Point to make a request.
The most crucial point is that as long as the tipping reaches the fixed threshold, any request will be fulfilled!
This slum goddess is said to live in a house she bought herself.
Having money on hand means you really have a lot of money.
She has a cute appearance and a really good figure.
This means she doesn't have to struggle to survive like the Kidney Deficiency Bro.
Instead, she dresses herself up exquisitely every day.
The background in the live stream, which is her own house, was decorated in a warm and beautiful way, like a princess's dream castle.
They don't care about the audience's attitude.
They don't even care whether there are viewers giving them tips.
No one comes to the door, so they go about their own lives, putting on beautiful makeup and wearing pretty clothes, broadcasting for about two hours each night before stopping to rest.
This openly accepting attitude has only increased her fame. Coupled with her charming and attractive face and alluring figure, she stands out among the many live streamers about life in the slums, attracting a constant stream of viewers.
Luo Shan was one of them.
As a promising young man, I've had quite a few girlfriends, but this kind of fresh experience is truly rare.
I calculated that I had enough money to cover several thresholds.
I decided to try a few big ones.
Point tens of thousands of points directly propelled me to the top tiers—it was both exhilarating and thrilling.
He became obsessed after that one trial.
Now the expenses are getting out of control; every night, tens of thousands of dollars are being spent.
One day, he decided to try his luck with the top-tier one million, and the veins on his forehead almost burst.
After a period of time...
The savings in the account quickly disappeared.
Even their livelihoods became difficult.
Although the Academy provides free food and drink to certified teachers, that only guarantees basic necessities.
To enjoy a higher and better experience, you can only buy it with money or exchange it using the most difficult-to-obtain Academy Coin.
Even as Luo Shan became engrossed in watching the live stream, he remained aware of the importance of the Academy Coin to him.
I didn't exchange the Academy Coin for money.
So he had no choice but to eagerly approach Wang Wen to ask for a spot in the Bug-Hunting Squad, hoping to earn some money to alleviate his financial difficulties.
A new week is fast approaching.
He followed He Jiong and the others into the Insect Chamber without incident.
Seeing the well-organized layout of the Insect Chamber, I was amazed at how Wang Wen's processes were becoming more and more sophisticated, her scale larger and larger, and her methods of making money more and more clever.
Luo Shan made a series of impressive gestures as he toured the area, getting to know the members of the Bug-Hunting Squad and learning about their monthly income.
They couldn't wait to join the army of insect killers.
Before I could even land a few hits...
Then they saw Wang Wen leading people into the Insect Chamber. He pointed at him and said that his strength was too weak and he should at least be on par with the 600th floor of the Bug-Hunting Squad. So this time, he would take him to the 600th floor and then let him return to the Insect Chamber alone to stay and fight insects.
Luo Shan then realized that the benefits and treatment of the Bug-Hunting Squad were truly terrifying!
It turns out that all official members of the Bug-Hunting Squad get carried up to floor 600 for free!
He then realized just how much benefit Wang Wen's simple "okay" meant!
It's like a gift from heaven!
The members of the Bug-Hunting Squad were all honest people carefully selected by Wang Wen.
They usually stay inside the tower, and even when they occasionally leave, they keep a low profile and don't flaunt their wealth or power.
Therefore, the outside world has never known the true situation of the Bug-Hunting Squad, only that there is countless riches to be plundered in the Insect Chamber.
Luo Shan wasn't part of their "insider" circle, so naturally he was unaware of these things.
He thought joining the Bug-Hunting Squad was just to work for the "capitalists".
If he hadn't been so short of money, he wouldn't have bothered to go and get Wang Wen dewormed.
But now.
He saw the truth.
A huge wave of emotion surged within me, filled with deep regret for my foolishness and lack of foresight.
The Bug-Hunting Squad enjoys such incredible treatment; those who join must have undergone countless tests and selections.
But what about him?
A casual request, followed by Wang Wen's nonchalant "Okay."
That's it!
He became a member of the Bug-Hunting Squad.
Enjoy equal treatment.
What's this?
This shows that Wang Wen is nostalgic!
Luckily, I met her early on! And I didn't make enemies with Wang Wen when she was still a student at the Academy, otherwise I wouldn't have the qualifications to join the Bug-Hunting Squad so easily.
With teary eyes, Luo Shan watched as Wang Wen summoned the spirit Fox to lock onto the size of the insect. Countless words of gratitude and emotion welled up in his throat, but he couldn't find the words to express them.
But then Wang Wen pointed at the insect's large mouth and urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go inside, we're in a hurry!"
"Go in?" Luo Shan looked at the sticky, wet mouth of the worm, and the exclamation mark on his face instantly turned into a question mark.
