Chapter 100: Outsiders And Insiders
A farce-like competition had come to an end.
Newcomer Liu was also a talented man. He could do so many things, and he had no intention of leaving the tower. He even licked his face and accepted 10 million yuan. He even licked his face and joined Wang Wen’s team.
Everyone knew his real name after the introduction.
Liu Bei.
!!
He claimed to be at the back of the last battle.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo thought he was a treacherous man.
Wang Wen did not care.
Who would want to care about Liu Bei? As long as he was obedient, he would be good cannon fodder.
No!
A good Lackey.
No!
A good teammate!
Even though it was similar, that word was much more pleasant.
Just like men’s two major pursuits.
It was tacky to say beautiful women and money.
Was it not better to say love and career?
One had to know how to use rhetoric when dealing with people.
Liu Bei had gradually calmed down since their competition. He could be a useful soldier. A good god. Well, a potentially good teammate!
Everyone had more or less rested after the delay.
The main reason was that they could not stand the smell and rushed to the next level before the drone’s punishing transmission.
The at 71st floor.
The speed mechanism!
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo remembered their fear as soon as they entered the level.
Their faces darkened.
On the contrary, Liu Bei looked delighted. He retrieved an item from the drone and said, “I just got this last week, the Flying Magic Carpet! I’ve been trying to find this level, but I haven’t had the chance. Now, I’ve finally met it!”
Ren Ruoruo watched him fiddle with it curiously.
Liu Bei sat on the carpet and pulled the pompon in front of him, and the magic carpet flew upward.
It was not high off the ground, but it was not slow. It was slightly faster than a 100-meter sprint.
Even Zhu Xingguo was intrigued at the time and asked, “How many people can that thing hold?”
Liu Bei was thrilled to be on the flying carpet. He flew back and forth and laughed loudly. “Only one!”
Zhu Xingguo’s lips curled in boredom, and he ignored him. He began to run silently toward the finish line.
He saw Liu Bei fly away on the flying carpet and continued to laugh complacently.
When Wang Wen noticed his two teammates running with their heads down in displeasure, he asked, “Did you know that using external force at the speed mechanism level will make you very happy?”
Zhu Xingguo was puzzled. “Can’t we use external force? I’ve been worried that I haven’t found any bicycle, skateboard shoes, or anything like that.
Ren Ruoruo was sharp enough to find a blind spot. “Happy?”
Wang Wen raised his chin at Liu Bei, flying wildly in the distance. “That’s right, happy.”
The killing mechanism was activated.
Arrows flew out from the walls in all directions, aiming at Liu Bei, who was sitting on the flying carpet.
“What the f*ck?” Liu Bei shouted and adjusted the flying carpet in front of him to dodge.
The space in front of him was unexpectedly filled with arrows. There was nowhere for him to run.
He used the Blood-devouring Demon Ax to deflect various types of arrows. He even found the drone to help him by taking a small round shield.
In the end, it was utterly useless.
At least ten arrows pierced his body.
Bones obstructed the remaining arrows.
He transformed into a defensive hedgehog in the blink of an eye.
Liu Bei lay on the flying carpet about one meter above the ground, dying.
However, he was worthy of being a big shot on the 300th floor. He seemed to have endless trick cards on him. He found another drone and retrieved a small bottle.
He slowly opened the bottle cap and poured the liquid into his mouth.
He drank the entire bottle.
He smacked his lips, and his pained expression revealed a hint of doubt.
He even picked up the empty bottle and double-checked it as if he was worried he had taken the wrong one.
When Wang Wen, who was running in the distance while happily collecting arrows, saw that. He kindly reminded him, “Get out of the tower while you’re still alive! All of those arrows have toxins on them. Ordinary healing potions are ineffective.”
Wang Wen felt sympathy and happiness whenever he met someone who had recklessly used external help.
He felt sympathetic because it was fantastic. They would die if they did not take precautions.
He was overjoyed because he could now collect special arrows that were extremely useful.
In the hands of mechanism and poison masters, those special arrows could be extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, there were only a few of them.
Furthermore, they could not be reset, stored, or transported out of the tower.
It could only be used in that particular process.
As a result, Wang Wen would treasure that opportunity every time he came across it.
He would do everything he could to collect every arrow he could get his hands on.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, who were running alongside him, watched everything from start to finish. Their mouths never close.
Ren Ruoruo could not help but wonder when she saw Liu Bei in the distance turn into a white light and leave the tower. “Why was that never mentioned in the reports?”
Wang Wen was extremely preoccupied at the time. He had to pick up arrows everywhere while racing against the killing mechanism. He probably would not have had time to speak if Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo had not reacted and helped him pick up the arrows.
At that moment, he heard Ren Ruoruo’s question.
He could not care less about how he phrased it. He said, “Did reports say that the most dangerous people are those who travel together? Those who have that report were probably waiting for these arrows.”
Ren Ruoruo was shocked. In other words, someone clearly knew they could not use external force in the speed shifting mechanism, but they purposefully did not say anything about it because they were waiting for the other party to break the rules. So that they could get the arrows?
Wang Wen knew immediately that that woman was suffering from a broken heart.
He already considered Zhu Ren and Ren Ruoruo his teammates, so he needed to teach them a lesson right then and there. They would undoubtedly suffer if they did not realize the World Tower’s cruel future.
Therefore, he asked faintly, “Is there anything wrong with that?”
“It’s not a matter of whether it’s right or wrong, but—” Ren Ruoran opened her mouth and could not continue.
She wanted to say that she could not just step back and watch other people die because she wanted some items.
However, she understood the meaning of Wang Wen’s rhetorical question.
He was right.
Was he wrong not to remind the man?
They were in the World Tower.
No one forced them to enter. They were adults who voluntarily entered the tower. If they want to get rich overnight, they should be prepared to die.
Besides, they were humans. Why should they unconditionally share the information they had bought with strangers?
Unless the other party was a teammate.
However, a real teammate was rare in the World Tower, even rarer than rare items.
The rest of the tower climbers looked like teammates but were actually competitors.
What did life and death have to do with someone?
If the other party fell, they could pick up the benefits.
It would be better to get more things, right?
Ren Ruoruo watched Wang Wen pick up the arrows on the ground.
Her gaze was somewhat complicated.
She was a self-proclaimed professional tower climber, and she understood the World Tower’s indifference, even stepping on the human ladder to climb upward.
She even agreed with and preferred that kind of tower-climbing perspective in which people did nothing for others.
She was uneasy with the atmosphere Wang Wen had created in the group.
She thought it was too emotional.
It was not conducive to development.
She was questioning the wisdom of that approach.
Was that not the World Tower’s standard with which she was most familiar and admired? It could even be called the ideal way to go about things.
When it came to dealing with regular tower climbers, the Captain was flawless.
As for herself, she was simply too ridiculous.
Ren Ruoruo shook her head, mocking herself as she handed the arrows she had gathered to Wang Wen. At the same time, she sincerely apologized. “I am sorry, Captain.”
Wang Wen looked at her. He knew that she had already figured it out, so he smiled and comforted her. “Don’t worry. If it’s you and Zhu Xingguo, I’ll definitely remind you.”
Ren Ruoruo’s mind exploded like a bolt from the blue.
The huge shock made her almost unable to move her legs. If it were not for Wang Wen, she would have almost been hit by the deadly mechanism behind her.
At that moment, Ren Ruoruo finally felt the power of the atmosphere that Wang Wen had created in the team.
She looked at Zhu Xingguo, who only knew how to laugh as he continued to pick up arrows without much reaction, and her heart was in turmoil.
She knew the other party did not react because he had truly integrated into the team and assumed the sentence was ordinary.
However, what did that sentence mean to outsiders?
Ren Ruoruo’s gaze fell on Wang Wen, who happily picked up the arrows. She felt as if she were looking at a thousand-year-old demon from the deep mountains who had mastered the art of climbing the tower. He could be ruthless and affectionate!
