Chapter 281: Entering The Tower
Zhou Shengsheng stood back and watched as Wang Wen flew into the academy without looking back.
He knew that he had no friendship with the other party.
Even if they had climbed the tower together.
Their last remaining friendship was also depleted by his repeated bad decisions.
He heard from his father that Wang Wen had barged into the meeting room and started a massacre, but he had spared his father’s life because of him.
Zhou Shengsheng was shocked.
That was the first time he realized that Wang Wen was a sentimental person.
It was also the first time he felt how wonderful it was to be treated with such deep affection by Wang Wen.
Unfortunately…
It seemed like they had broken all ties.
The other party had no intention of giving him a chance to repair their friendship.
He watched as the academy’s gate closed before his eyes.
It was as if Zhou Shengsheng was watching the window that God had left for him slowly close.
It vanished with the light, taking all hope with it.
With a bitter smile, he shook his head.
He sat down on the ground slowly.
The First Consortium’s Young Master just looked at the tightly shut gate of the academy. His eyes were listless and red.
Time passed quickly.
After everything was done, Wang Wen felt much more relaxed.
Ren Ruoruo healed Mo Ran, Li He, and the others after her transcendent skill’s cooldown was over.
He discovered that there was no way for them to recover fully.
Wang Wen stopped her from wasting her time and skills.
The oath was set. Those killed by Qin Dongbei and then returned to life must enter the World Tower and use the world energy point to recover fully.
That was Wang Wen’s compromise to the scepter, or rather, to the World Tower, so that he would not be drained dry.
That method would be more effective than all other treatments.
It was even more powerful than anything else.
Wang Wen guessed that he would have to consume an unknown amount of energy to make that huge oath.
Otherwise, there was no other way for those people to recover from their injuries other than entering the tower.
However…
Li He could enter the tower to heal himself.
Mo Ran was only on the 400th floor; he had yet to reach the 600th floor.
Wang Wen hesitated whether to bring him to the 600th floor the following week.
Mo Ran, who saw the hesitation, immediately said, “I’ve been busy for a week, so I’m exhausted. Don’t disturb me for the next few weeks. I’m going to sleep until I wake up naturally and eat until my mouth cramps!”
Wang Wen was taken aback.
He looked at Mo Ran with a complicated expression.
The man had already turned on his phone and started to order takeaways.
A new week was coming.
It was obvious that he did not want to enter the tower.
Wang Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while.
He patted Mo Ran’s shoulder and led Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo into the tower without saying anything more.
That trip…
He still planned to charge the tower.
That was why they did not bring anyone who was on a lower level than them.
As usual, the three of them started ascending the tower.
A white light flashed, and the three stood on the 699th floor.
As he was in a hurry last time, he left the tower after getting the reward on the 700th floor. He had not completed that floor.
He could only try the 699th floor’s crazy mechanism room again.
When the three of them first saw the densely packed mechanism room…
His facial muscles twitched.
That was the third time, three consecutive times in a short period.
All three of them felt a slight pregnancy reaction in their stomachs.
Fortunately, Wang Wen’s mental strength had been strengthened by the Oath Scepter, and he had fused all his strength into a high concentration of energy after breaking through the five elements.
Solving all the traps took him less than ten percent of his energy.
When the portal opened…
Wang Wen once again stood on the 700th floor and announced through gritted teeth, “This time, no matter what, I have to pass the 700th floor! ”
“That 699th floor is making me puke!”
Zhu Xingguo retched directly.
His face turned pale.
Ren Ruoruo said, “Why don’t we just skip this level? That’s the safest way! The 700th floor is an extreme level; it may be difficult.”
Wang Wen’s eyes lit up.
He was a little moved.
When he remembered the environments that would frequently appear on the later levels, he realized that with their strengths, they needed to skip many levels.
“You know what!” Wang Wen gritted his teeth. “Let’s not do this level to avoid unnecessary trouble!”
Ren Ruoruo looked at Wang Wen in surprise.
She was just making a casual suggestion.
She did not expect Wang Wen to agree.
She thought Wang Wen would only use that privilege as a last resort.
In reality…
She did not know that in Wang Wen’s eyes, every level after the 700th floor was a last resort. He would likely have to rely on the weekly no-reward skip to pass each level!
Ren Ruoruo did not say anything else.
She pulled the drone over and used the special privilege that she had once a week.
[Tower climber Ah Yan exercised special privilege, skipping the 700th floor with no reward.]
They reached the 701st floor.
The three of them found themselves standing on a small leather raft.
They were surrounded by water that reached all the way to the horizon.
They could only see the deep blue water and the sky.
Ren Ruoruo looked at the water, her eyes flashing. She asked in a confused voice, “It’s seawater! We’re on the ocean?”
Zhu Xingguo crouched down and looked at the calm sea. He asked in confusion, “We failed to skip? Have we entered another extreme level?”
Wang Wen waved his hand and threw a shark that was attempting to sneak up on the raft from afar.
His eyes flickered. “No, this is a checkpoint we used to love. It’s survival in the wild!”
Ren Ruoruo stared at the sea for a while and started to feel dizzy.
She massaged her temples and said, “This stage is a special variant of survival in the wild, survival at sea! The information is too profound; I can’t find the entrance.”
An ominous premonition flashed through Wang Wen’s heart.
He tried to wave his scepter. “I swear I will use 10 percent of my energy to safely teleport us to the sea’s surface closest to the entrance.”
The three of them disappeared.
On the other side of the ocean…
The three of them appeared.
They fell into the water.
Zhu Xingguo shouted, “Master! The raft did not come with us!”
Wang Wen waved his hand, and a small wooden boat appeared.
They climbed up the boat, panting.
Ren Ruoruo observed the surrounding environment and found that she could still see the vast sea.
She said in despair, “No way! What’s the meaning of that? Is it trying to make us leave?”
“No.”
Wang Wen shook his head. “I’ve said it before. There’s no such thing. It’s just that I’m not strong enough.”
His eyes flickered as he carefully observed the minute differences in his surroundings.
Observing was the most important thing to do in the wilderness survival stage.
The environment would contain many hints about the entrance.
Sometimes, it was a sign that seemed natural.
Sometimes, it was in the direction of water or branches.
In the wild, as long as there was similar direction information, it would undoubtedly hint at the game’s entrance.
The tricky part was how to survive and find such hints simultaneously.
There were numerous wild survival threats, including venomous snakes, insects, rats, ants, light, temperature, humidity, and so on.
Those disturbances had vanished since they were on the sea.
At the same time…
There seemed to be no hint at all.
Wang Wen furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. He waved his scepter again. “I swear I will use ten percent of my energy to safely teleport us to the sea’s surface closest to the entrance.”
When the three reappeared, they were still on the small wooden boat.
Wang Wen jumped into the sea without a word.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo were caught off guard and were shocked.
Ren Ruoruo quickly looked at the spot where Wang Wen had fallen into the water.
Zhu Xingguo, on the other hand, took a deep breath and jumped down without saying anything.
Wang Wen was underwater.
He created a human-shaped airbag and wrapped it around himself.
He quietly floated in the water and looked downward.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Zhu Xingguo, who had jumped down.
He reached out and pulled him into his airbag.
The two of them combined.
The air sac expanded too much.
It started to float upward.
Wang Wen quickly added a little more weight to stabilize the airbag.
“What are you doing down here?” he turned to ask Zhu Xingguo.
Zhu Xingguo wiped his face and touched the airbag curiously. He said, “You jumped, so I thought I might as well come over to see if there’s anything I can help with.”
Wang Wen patted his shoulder and did not say anything else.
He had made an oath to send the three of them to the location closest to the entrance.
The fact that he was sent there twice in a row proved that the entrance was nearby.
There was nothing on the surface and nothing in the air that could be seen with the naked eye, so it could only be at the bottom of the sea.
However, the ocean was too deep, and there were too many changes.
The most dangerous thing to survive in the wild was the natural environment.
If the entrance was deep in the ocean…
He might return empty-handed that time.
That would really be messed up.
Wang Wen shook his head, calmed his mind, and controlled the airbag to sink slowly.
