Returning From Level 900 - Chapter 339
339 A Strange Special Level
Wang Wen pulled back the Skinny Boy who was about to move and told him to stay in the center of the hall.
He and the other three people each took a wall and started killing the bugs.
Each of these bugs was worth 100 points.
Every time an insect died, the remaining insect would become stronger.
Wang Wen, who was not strong enough in the past, was persuaded to leave this floor.
Now that he had a certain trump card, he came back to see what was so strange about this round.
The special checkpoints in this mode would only appear at the super-high levels.
When they reached these super-high levels, they would usually fight everything on the floor until the strongest boss appeared. They would pass the level as long as they won.
It was a segment that tested one’s hard strength and physical fitness.
However, now that they had encountered one on the 20th floor, it was highly likely that the people on the 20th floor did not have the strength and stamina to kill everything on the floor.
According to the World Tower’s principle of allowing progress, it was unreasonable for such a level to appear on the lower floors.
Therefore, if there were no accidents, there would definitely be a shortcut to clear the lower tower floor.
Wang Wen’s goal was to find out what the shortcut was, and if he could make some money by relying on this special obstacle.
The others found that these bugs were easy to kill, and they could kill a large number of them with a swing of a stick, and they were actually rewarded with 100 points each!
They were instantly filled with passion!
Although the amount of money earned by the Square Formation was terrifying, it still required a long time to accumulate. Only at the end would they see the points reward.
Now that there was a reward for killing one, everyone felt the thrill of ‘farming money’ when they saw the number in the team’s prize pool soar.
Cheng Qiaoyi’s efficiency was the slowest, and being able to kill two in a second with such a small mechanism was already a sign of her superb mechanical skills.
Mo Ran was more ruthless.
Without the Thunder Fury Tiger, he still had the Dharma Hand. After wearing the boxing gloves, he could smash a large wall with one punch.
On average, each punch could kill more than ten!
His arms were like a human pile driver, constantly breaking layers of ‘walls’. The insects kept squeezing out, but they were crushed again before they could even spread their wings.
In the blink of an eye, he had eliminated hundreds of bugs.
Zhu Xingguo was even more exaggerated.
He took out a divine light energy gun from Fair Exchange and fired a light beam at the wall!
With his current Fair Exchange and All Things Advancement, the number of items he had could be said to be endless!
Level 5 Fair Exchange allowed the player to purchase the target item 16 times.
The level 5 All Things Advancement could duplicate four copies of items that could not be advanced.
After the four copies were sold in Fair Exchange, each item became an independent target and could be bought 16 times.
This meant that he had 64 of these items in his Fair Exchange, and he could buy them as long as he had enough points.
Once they were almost used up, they would make another four copies through All Things Advancement and sell them. The number of copies they could buy would increase by 64.
This would enter an endless cycle.
As long as all the items passed through Zhu Xingguo’s hands, they would become unlimited.
The only pity was that he still could not get a second supreme treasure.
During the testing process, after the first advancement of a supreme treasure, there would be changes in the effects and attributes, as well as an (advanced) postfix behind the item name.
Normally, if an item used All Things Advancement again under such circumstances, it would be copied. However, the supreme treasure was not copied, and its second advancement was successful.
The effect of the item did not change at all, only adding (advanced) after (advanced), and the advancement was completed.
For example, the complete name of Wang Wen’s Oath Scepter was: ‘Oath Scepter (advanced (advanced (advanced)))]
It was simply ridiculous!
However, other than supreme treasures, as long as there was enough time (the cooldown for All Things Advancement) and money (the points required for Fair Exchange), one could produce an unlimited number of items and be self-sufficient.
From this perspective, in a sense, Zhu Xingguo had reached the concept of ‘Infinity’ before Wang Wen.
At this time, he was holding the non-World Tower equipment, the Divine Light Energy Gun, that he had obtained on the 720th floor, and bombarding the bug wall without any restraint.
A hole was blasted out with one strike.
With each shot, a gun would be destroyed.
A Divine Light Energy Gun that cost 800 points was especially useful here. It was very cost-effective, and one shot could earn back more than ten times the points reward.
His killing efficiency was much higher than Mo Ran’s.
Cheng Qiaoyi saw her teammates’ firepower getting fiercer and fiercer.
Then, she looked at her little toy-like mechanism.
Especially when hundreds of insects died and grew bigger and bigger, reaching half the height of a man, the small mechanism could not kill a single one in a long time.
She pouted angrily.
Not to be outdone, she immediately activated All-Metal Storm.
Wang Wen, who was using an invisible hand to pinch the bug on the wall, suddenly looked up.
He saw layers of metal panels appear out of thin air high up in the sky, as dense and distinct as fish scales.
After each scale opened, black gun barrels were revealed.
In the center of the metal panel was a large-caliber, all-angle self-aiming heavy cannon.
Cheng Qiaoyi waved her finger, and the sky was filled with light traces that cut through the air.
Every few seconds, a thick beam of light would be fired from the heavy cannon in the center to cover the target.
Apart from Cheng Qiaoyi’s position, the insect wall in front of her had suffered the heaviest destructive blow since the appearance of the checkpoint.
All the bugs were smashed into pieces before their bodies could even land on the ground.
The entire wall continued to go deeper in.
The speed at which the bugs were squeezed out and enlarged could not keep up with the speed at which they were crushed.
Wang Wen saw it clearly.
The team prize pool displayed on the flying device instantly exceeded 100,000 points.
At this moment, all the dead bodies of the bugs in the hall disappeared.
The bug that had already grown to the height of a man instantly turned back into the little dot that it was when it first entered the checkpoint.
What was going on?
Wang Wen’s eyes narrowed.
In the distance, Zhu Xingguo was still looking at the steel sky above.
Mo Ran stopped and picked up one of the smaller bugs to check.
This trial… everything was strange.
The special checkpoint that only appeared on the 590th floor appeared on the 20th floor.
And whether it was the reward or the strength required to clear the level, it did not seem like the tower climbers would be able to clear it.
Back then, Wang Wen encountered this checkpoint for the first time, the team was not weak.
Apart from him and Mi Lailai, the other three were all above the 100th level.
However, he did not clear the floor and was dissuaded.
Now, he was back.
Except for the Skinny Boy, the remaining four were at least at the 600th level.
They were very efficient in clearing the floor, but there was still no sign of clearing it.
Could it be that there was no way to clear this stage?
Wang Wen shook his head in his heart.
That was impossible.
There was no obstacle that could completely block tower climbers’ progress.
There must be a way to clear this floor, it was just that they had not discovered it yet.
He mimicked Mo Ran and used his energy to catch a bug to observe it.
In a short period of thinking, the bug grew to the size of a basketball again.
Caught by the ‘air’, the wings on its feet flapped and struggled wildly, its mouth wide open as it threatened Wang Wen.
Wang Wen’s gaze swept through its mouth and suddenly stopped.
He seemed to have seen something.
He could not help but slowly approach the insect’s wide-open mouth.
