Returning From Level 900

Chapter 312 - 312 More Comfortable Than A Vacation

312 More Comfortable Than A Vacation

Chen Hansheng counted and said, “Continue to upgrade. Do we lack money?”

“You’re right.”

Wang Wen looked at him helplessly. “Level 8 requires one trillion points; Level 9 requires ten trillion points.”

“I know that top-tier tower climbers are expensive, but I did not expect it to be so expensive.” Mo Ran was speechless.

!!

Chen Hansheng said, “If it’s ten trillion, it won’t be too difficult to gather that. It’s still possible. After all, we have so many consortiums in our hands.”

“No need,” Wang Wen said, shaking his head. “We have not been in charge of the group for long, and we still need to figure everything out. I am afraid it will be chaotic if we rashly spend such a large sum of money. We should prioritize taking care of the outside first. If the tower requires funds, we will come up with another plan.”

“What method can compete with the speed at which the group gathers money?” Chen Hansheng pursed his lips. “It can’t be just this Square Formation, right?”

“It’s just a Square Formation.” Wang Wen smiled and turned to the dumbfounded Cheng Qiaoyi, asking, “What did you just say?”

In a daze, Cheng Qiaoyi shook her head, indicating nothing.

That was because she had witnessed Wang Wen kill even more bats with a single palm strike.

She was taken aback by the invisible hand the size of a house.

That strange method of killing the little bats also surprised her.

That was Cheng Qiaoyi’s first time climbing the tower with Wang Wen, and everything seemed magical and mysterious.

Wang Wen began distributing the work immediately.

According to protocol, each was in charge of one portal, and he would deal with the monster himself.

The only difference was that the four gatekeepers were free to kill the little bat whenever they pleased.

The most obedient was Zhu Xingguo, who began to beat the little bat.

He had never had so much fun beating up the little monsters in the square formation.

He had to control the number of splits carefully.

But His master had said that they could fight as they pleased.

How could he be wrong?

Zhu Xingguo took out the heavy machine gun he had obtained from Fair Exchange a few times before and fired at the portal.

As soon as the little bat showed its head, it was smashed to pieces.

Cheng Qiaoyi, seeing that, quickly found a teleportation gate and set up a harvesting mechanism.

On the other hand, Chen Hansheng and Mo Ran were chatting leisurely.

They observed Wang Wen’s method and deduced his intentions.

“It looks like they’re ready to fight their way out of the tower in this Square Formation,” Chen Hansheng said while clicking his tongue.

Mo Ran calculated the speed at which the teleportation portal was spitting out bats. He wondered if the speed of killing the giant monster was fast enough or if the time it needed to split should be considered. Every second, the portal produced bats. There were 60 bats per minute. That equated to 86400 bats per day. That was more than 340,000 bats multiplied by four. That equates to more than 34 billion points!

Chen Hansheng smacked the approaching bats flat with a blunt weapon.

“30 billion a day?” he asked in surprise. “Then one trip into the tower could earn him 200 billion! In less than a year, he could earn 10 trillion. Teacher Wang’s speed of making money is not slower than the group’s! No wonder he said he did not need the company’s funds!”

Mo Ran, on the other hand, thought of another possibility.

He looked at the dead bats.

He calculated how many monsters he would have to kill in the end.

His legs felt a little weak.

He looked at Wang Wen and muttered, “No wonder he said he needed a helper… This is not a job for humans!”

Time passed by.

When Wang Wen came over to ask Cheng Qiaoyi to eat in the open space, she felt as if she could not even lift her hand.

He sat in the open space and watched Zhu Xingguo set up the pot.

“How long are we going to fight like this?” Cheng Qiaoyi asked Wang Wen.

Wang Wen laughed. “If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll fight until you leave the tower. You have yet to strengthen your level, so you can leave the tower first if you’re tired. We have enough manpower. It’s only a five-person team because we’re afraid it’ll be too troublesome if outsiders are matched to us.”

Cheng Qiaoyi’s face blanched. “We are going to fight for seven days in this formation?”

She looked at the ingredients in Zhu Xingguo’s hands and asked doubtfully, “Even if you don’t have to worry about food and drink, don’t you need to sleep and rest?”

“We can take turns to rest. There’s no danger here.” Wang Wen took control of the four teleportation gates and the monster in the center so they would not disturb their meal.

He would crush the bats if the teleportation portal became too crowded.

In any case, other than the corpse of the monster that was left behind after it was hit in the air, when the other monsters died, they vanished.

Mo Ran and the others had already mentally prepared themselves.

Therefore, he was not surprised.

Only Cheng Qiaoyi’s face was flushed; her thoughts remained a mystery.

Wang Wen handed her the cooked noodles. Seeing her dazed look, he explained, “I brought you here to familiarize you with my pace in tower climbing. Don’t feel pressured. Just relax and treat it as an experimental class.”

“I’m not nervous, I’m just—” Cheng Qiaoyi rolled her eyes and whispered a few words in Wang Wen’s ear.

Wang Wen smiled and pointed at Zhu Xingguo. “Don’t worry. He will build a temporary toilet after dinner. You can use it at any time. We can get water and electricity from the World Tower. It’s very clean.”

Cheng Qiaoyi covered her mouth in surprise.

She carried the bowl of noodles with one hand and walked to Zhu Xingguo. She looked at the items appearing and disappearing in his hands and said, “Brother Zhu, you’re amazing! Are you a mage who can conjure up so many things?”

Zhu Xingguo picked up a piece of fried egg and put it in her bowl, grinning. “It’s because my master taught me well. Mistress, if you need anything, let me know at any time. I have all the daily necessities here.”

Cheng Qiaoyi had wanted to talk more.

She was taken aback when he addressed her as Mistress, and her face flushed. She lifted the bowl to cover her face and gulped down the noodles.

Zhu Xingguo happily said, “Mistress, eat slowly. We will have braised pork ribs and beef to add to the noodles. You’re new to the tower, and your conditions are limited. Try to eat as much as you can.”

Wang Wen walked forward, picked up a piece of fried egg, and said to Zhu Xingguo, “Don’t speak nonsense. Are you arrogant without Xiao Ren around? Where’s the Gourmet Bread? Cut a few pieces for our new friends to try.”

“Alright!”

Zhu Xingguo took a loaf of bread and carefully cut it into several pieces on the chopping board to distribute to the group.

Chen Hansheng looked at the prop’s information, then threw the bread into his mouth and chewed.

His eyes lit up. “Are the conditions for climbing the tower so ridiculous now? I can live here all year round with this standard of living!”

They laughed.

Cheng Qiaoyi huffed.

Mo Ran took a sip of the soup and took a bite of the bread. He held the bowl and asked Wang Wen, “Have you calculated how many monsters we have to fight?”

“Two million or so?” Wang Wen looked at Mo Ran with a faint smile and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you regret it?”

Mo Ran clenched his teeth and waved his fist.

He shouted determinedly, “Only a fool would regret it! Don’t forget what you promised me!”

There was another burst of cheerful laughter in the hall.

As Chen Hansheng put it, climbing the tower in that manner was simply enjoyable.

Six days later…

Even Cheng Qiaoyi refused to leave the tower until Wang Wen ordered her to. She began to control the splits to clear the level.

Mo Ran looked at the time on the drone and asked, “It’s only Saturday; we don’t need so much time to wrap things up, right?”

Wang Wen smiled. “You guys worked so hard to help me get more money. It’s not right if I don’t take you guys up. All the best! After we finish the Square Formation, I’ll let you guys experience my current speed.”
