Chapter 110: You’ll Never Catch Up To Me
The harvest of that level was the heart of a giant.
There was no such thing as too many treasures.
It was a huge benefit to be able to acquire such a treasure at any time.
That was something Wang Wen had already determined in his heart.
!!
Lower expectations and a lack of desire were difficult, so he would not be disappointed.
He was completely satisfied.
Just as he was about to leave, Mo Ran approached him with a strange-looking stone.
His expression was polite.
He owed 80 percent of the total.
With that expression, it was clear he had Wang Wen.
Wang Wen appeared to be a person of great curiosity.
Few things could pique the interest of the all-around tower climber.
And the number of times he noticed Wang Wen’s interest was even lower.
Mo Ran was thrilled.
He did not keep them waiting any longer. He proudly handed over the stone and exclaimed, “Poison Crafting Skill Stone! Another unique supreme treasure!”
When they heard that, they did not even enter the door. They gathered to examine the second supreme treasure because the drone had not urged them to go.
Two one-of-a-kind supreme treasures had appeared at a checkpoint. That kind of fortuitous encounter would either become a story or an accident.
Of course, the first reaction for most people would be to not believe it.
However, that was not important. To the few people present, the truth was right in front of them. There was no need to doubt it.
The master-level Poison Crafting Skill Stone was a one-of-a-kind treasure from the 100th floor. After using it, no one could become a master without first getting a master-level poison-making skill. Those who had already achieved that would be able to break through to the next level.
Wang Wen and the other two were speechless for a long time after reading the information on the item.
It was not an exaggeration to say that anyone could use that item.
Too much, but not too much, referred to things that took time to learn. Everyone had the same amount of time.
However, the type of skill stone produced by the World Tower could be learned immediately after using it. It was not the type that required time to learn.
In that case, it had to be the other way around.
One would have more skills that did not weigh one down.
No one would complain that they had one more master-level poison-making skill.
Not to mention the poor people who had spent years studying poison making but could not reach the level of a master.
They would be overjoyed if they came across a skill stone like that.
Wang Wen knew that the worth of that skill stone was priceless.
He would be promoted to the Broken Might master level!
It was truly the first time in his life!
He had not reached that in his two lifetimes.
The opportunity was right in front of him.
If he could become a Broken Might-level poison master, he would be able to deal with the little bats more easily when he ran into the Square Formation.
He could make them sleep so soundly that they would not even wake up after being struck by lightning.
Furthermore, if he encountered the 69th-floor poison gas chamber, he might be able to develop an antidote that could resist the poison gas.
Then, he would not need to think about holding his breath for a few more minutes.
He would be able to pass the levels with his eyes closed.
In short, everything would change once he used that skill stone.
Hence.
Mo Ran played with the skill stone and asked Wang Wen with a faint smile, “Do you want it?”
Wang Wen nodded earnestly. “Yes! Name your price.”
Initially, the team’s rules stated that whoever discovered the item would receive the lion’s share, with the rest receiving 10 percent.
The awkward part was that Mo Ran had only joined the team to climb the tower quickly and had not participated in the item sharing.
In other words, he did not want any of the items discovered by the others.
And the items he discovered would be unavailable to the others.
That meant that the Giant’s Heart was not his.
The master-level Poison Crafting Skill Stone had nothing to do with Wang Wen and the other two.
The relationship between the two parties was only limited to climbing the tower. It was even weaker than the friendship between gentlemen.
Therefore, Mo Ran laughed as he put away the skill stone. Then, he said, “Not for sale.” He had an extremely annoying look on his face.
Wang Wen was not surprised at all.
He looked at Mo Ran, who was as happy as a devilish child. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he asked, “Is this going to be so boring?”
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo looked at each other, thinking about their chances of winning if a fight broke out later.
Mo Ran stared at Wang Wen for quite a while.
Finally, he suddenly laughed and said, “Are you angry? Did you think you’d be angry today?”
Wang Wen pursed his lips and could not help but laugh.
He was worried that it would be impolite to laugh, so he tried hard to control his facial expression.
He carefully thought about his own feelings. Then, he shook his head and said, “To be honest, I’m not angry. I simply believe that the intelligence department’s team leader should not be so childish. I wonder what you will say to me next. I am curious as to why you want to whet my appetite.”
When they heard that, the three people’s expressions froze.
Mo Ran was so shocked that he said, “How do you know that I have something to say?”
He took a slow breath.
His emotions slowly subsided.
There was a moment of silence.
Finally, with a bitter expression, he said, “I want you to do me a favor. Take my place in escorting the First Consortium’s young master to the tower. At least we’ll be safe on the 400th floor. If you agree, I will give you the skill stone for free.”
Wang Wen narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, “The First Consortium’s young master isn’t difficult to please, right? I’m just escorting him in climbing the tower. Why don’t you want to do that?”
Mo Ran shook his head and did not answer. He only asked, “Are you willing?”
Wang Wen was speechless.
He had also come into contact with the First Consortium’s young master in his previous life.
He was a young man who was quite amiable and polite.
Why did Mo Ran dislike him so much?
There must be something behind that.
Since the other party did not say anything, he did not ask further questions.
However, that work…
“Sure.” Wang Wen smiled and said, “I’ll take him to the 400th floor, no problem.”
Mo Ran stared at him with his eyes wide open. “You promised! You’ll give me your word?”
“Do I need to pinky swear with you?” Wang Wen smiled and reached out with his hand.
However, his palm received a round stone.
He heard Mo Ran’s seemingly relieved voice. “I’ll introduce you to the young master later.”
Wang Wen nodded.
His fingers gently stroked the skill stone.
His heart was a little excited and a little overwhelmed.
Time did not allow him to feel anything else. He needed to find a quiet environment to do that upgrade.
Zhu Xingguo was also happy for him. He cupped his hands and congratulated him.
Wang Wen replied with a smile, “Likewise. The 100th floor’s supreme treasure is valued at around three million points. I will not go into detail about the giant’s heart or the skill stones. Each person will receive 600,000 points.”
Zhu Xingguo’s hands stopped. He asked doubtfully, “Does that also count as money?”
Wang Wen nodded. “Of course. You can spend 2.7 million points to buy the Giant’s Heart if you don’t want money. I won’t sell the skill stones. I’ll use them myself.”
Zhu Xingguo waved his hand repeatedly and said, somewhat embarrassed, “What I mean is, I’m purely climbing the tower this time. It doesn’t feel right to take a share without putting in any effort. I feel guilty taking it.”
Ren Rourou also felt a little apologetic and said, “Captain, why don’t we wait until we catch up with your progress before we climb with you? It’s indeed a little too early now.”
Mo Ran, who was watching that magical team humbly give in to each other, was a little stunned.
Zhu Xingguo, Ren Ruoruo, and Wang Wen felt that what they said was very reasonable. They should be able to convince the stubborn captain.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wen shook his head and said, “Let’s start now. You’ll never catch up to me.”
