The rewards for the World Tower change starting from floor 800.
It's no longer available upon first login; instead, it only appears after completing a certain number of levels.
Wang Wen told everyone all this intelligence information, word by word.
Although everyone was curious about how he obtained this completely undocumented information, no one dared to ask further questions in the current oppressive atmosphere.
Even He Jiong didn't dare.
Because of her rebirth through bloodline rebirth, Wang Wen would occasionally stop and stare blankly, as if recalling something.
Each time she recalled it, her expression became very serious. Even though He Jiong was slow to notice, she realized something was wrong and gradually stopped daring to say too much.
The atmosphere within the team became increasingly oppressive under these circumstances.
Only Wang Wen seemed completely unaware.
Seeing the food He Jiong handed him during his break, he was once again lost in memories.
He vaguely remembered.
once Upon a time.
A boy and a girl were with him.
The three of them are not highly experienced, lack experience, and are not skilled enough.
For several days, I couldn't find anything to eat, and I was so hungry in the cramped, scattered area that it wasn't crowded.
The girl wanted to go outside the tower to eat.
I did not agree.
So the three of them went hungry for a long time.
Later, when he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, and not knowing what was edible in the wilderness survival challenge, he decided to go into the river to catch fish as a precaution.
I didn't catch any fish, and I almost ended up with crocodile poop.
In the end, the boy cut off both the head and the tail.
The girl set a mechanism that caused the crocodile to fall apart.
Huddled around the small fire, the three of them cried as they gnawed on charred crocodile meat.
Some say that separation is for the sake of a future reunion.
That's strange.
Why does there have to be a next time?
Can't we just stay together and not separate this time?
Just like the blessing once given to the girl, wouldn't it be wonderful if all separations could lead to reunions, and all reunions could be without separations?
pity.
Most human suffering stems from the mismatch between one's abilities and desires.
A small number of them are those who cannot obtain what they desire, those who are reluctant to give up, those who are separated for a long time, and those who are forever separated by death.
"Boss, are you alright?" He Jiong handed over a bottle of Healthy Body Water, his eyes full of worry.
When Wang Wen came to her senses, she realized that she had been crying all over her face without even realizing it.
He wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand without expression, took a sip of water, put away the food, got up, and started the level.
Not far behind, Mi Lailai, a master of spiritual power at the Breaking Ignorance Level, silently watched Wang Wen's straight back. Just a moment ago, she had felt sorrow.
A deep, suffocating sorrow weighed on my heart.
She didn't know why Wang Wen was experiencing this emotion.
All she knew was that she desperately wanted to hug that figure who never said a word and silently endured everything.
So she stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Wang Wen around the waist.
She gently placed her right palm on his chest, as if trying to discern a deeply hidden emotion in his heartbeat.
Wang Wen looked at Mi Lailai's fair arms, then turned to look at the delicate face close to her shoulder.
I thought about it.
Trying to use a similar tone as usual, I said to her, "I advise you to give up on that idea. No matter how long you hold her in this position, you won't get pregnant."
In the past...
An attack of this magnitude will inevitably provoke a more ferocious counterattack from the other party, until the atmosphere is eased and everyone partes with laughter and jokes.
At least that's how Wang Wen remembers it.
But this time, he found that things were not going as expected.
Mi Lailai still held him gently.
Not only did they not let go, but they also made Wang Wen's shoulders and back feel hot and sweaty.
A bead of sweat rolled down Wang Wen's forehead.
Feigning composure, she said to the person behind her, "The food is indeed not as good as your Universal Love restaurants, but it's not enough to make you throw up, is it? Besides, that was food brought by He Jiong. If you were going to throw up, you should have thrown it on him, right?"
Upon hearing this, He Jiong, standing next to him, innocently adjusted the backpack on his back.
Mi Lailai shook her head, both amused and exasperated.
She wiped all her tears and snot on Wang Wen's clothes.
Then he released his grip and softly left behind the words: "I am a master of mental power, at the Breaking Ignorance Level."
Wang Wen fell silent.
He knew what those words meant.
Even if you can hide your emotions from anyone else, you certainly can't hide them from a master of mental strength.
Not to mention this one who is at the Breaking Ignorance Level.
Further attempts to cover it up would only make him appear clumsy, so he fell silent.
Fortunately, when the surrounding fog dissipated, a huge humanoid machine appeared ahead, breaking the frozen atmosphere with its voice.
That is the general guarding the 800th floor this time.
Wang Wen and her companions encountered a rare, single-player, violent challenge.
The other person shouted at Wang Wen in a deafening voice, "Go back, or you'll die."
After calming herself down, Wang Wen tried to communicate with the other party. "Actually, I can just fill in the progress and complete the game directly. Can you give me some time so we can all get along peacefully?"
"Since that's the case," the humanoid machine grew even larger, seemingly standing up instead of sitting, "Then die."
It stomped its foot lightly.
The ground shook violently, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
A faint, eerie sound spread from the center, instantly encompassing a large area of space, including Wang Wen and her group.
The humanoid machine raised its clenched fist towards Wang Wen, its voice mechanical, stiff, and cold. "Within this domain, all World Tower items or extraordinary techniques below the 800th floor are ineffective. Prepare to die."
Everyone except Wang Wen was startled and hurriedly checked their own props and skills.
Without hesitation, the mechanical arm detached from the body and hurtled towards the spot where everyone was standing, trailing a blue-white flame.
The Tathagata, the Fox, and Human Face floated out.
Their complexions varied.
boom!
The robotic arm exploded in mid-air.
A transparent barrier, barely visible, firmly blocked the explosion.
The humanoid machine let out a surprised and uncertain "Eh."
Seeing that the barrier was still intact, He Jiong on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and shouted disdainfully, "Big guy, but not very bright. Who told you my boss only knows how to use World Tower items and skills? See, it's useless without bombs! Useless! Give me a rest!"
Chen Hansheng rubbed his forehead and asked He Jiong, "Little He, where are you from?"
He Jiong, confused, asked, "Me? From the Academy."
"No," Chen Hansheng continued rubbing his temples, "I'm asking where your hometown is."
He Jiong repeatedly said "oh" to indicate that he was a native of the Fifth Region.
Chen Hansheng nodded to indicate that he understood.
She also stated that there had been a misunderstanding about the Fifth Region, and that not all native Fifth Region residents were as mature and composed as Wang Wen.
There are also those who are particularly good at getting by and getting by.
He Jiong scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
He repeatedly said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. We're all family, no need for such formalities."
The two of them were chatting happily, each on their own.
Tathagata seeing Wang Wen deflect the mechanical bomb, Tathagata said with a somewhat helpless expression, "The oath has been interrupted, and the progress is only about halfway complete. So even your laws can fail at times?"
Wang Wen shook her head. "It's just that we encountered a more advanced set of rules."
After speaking, he reached out and remotely controlled the invisible giant energy hand, grabbing the humanoid machine and dismantling it piece by piece.
The humanoid machine stood in its own domain, shouting "Impossible!" in disbelief, as it was torn to pieces by an invisible giant hand.
Finally, they crushed the core engine.
[Level progress reached 148%, level 800 cleared]
[All Tower Climber reach the 800th floor of the World Tower for the first time will randomly receive one of three realms.]
[Basic Rules of the Domain: 1. The coverage area can be expanded using World Power before each release. 2. All items and extraordinary skills below level 800 within the domain's range are rendered ineffective. 3. Rule-based treasures are unaffected by the domain.]
He Jiong looked at the introduction.
He turned to Wang Wen blankly and asked, "Boss, are we... invincible now?"
