Chapter 261: 266

On the World Tower’s 698th floor.

That was the lowest of the three levels.

The bad news was that the highest level of clearance only extended to the 698th floor.

When the drone told them they could enter the tower via the lowest floor their team member was on, it meant that they had to start climbing the tower from that level. They were not meant to pass through it directly.

It meant that they had to clear the 698th floor again.

Their previous trip to the 699th floor was a bust. One of them did not enter the teleportation gate to get to the floor, so it meant that they did not clear the level. They had to repeat all the troubles that they had gone through.

The first time he used the special privilege, it shattered Ren Ruoruo’s beautiful idea of a 100 percent safety zone.

Reality would always be crueler than the ideal.

Their special privileges did not allow them to climb the tower once a week without getting hurt.

Even if they skipped levels with no rewards, they would still have to manually clear a level if they wanted to increase the number of levels they could teleport to the next time.

Wang Wen shook his head as he stood on the 698th floor.

In the end, he was too greedy.

The special privilege was already a huge advantage that ordinary people yearned for but could not hope to have.

How could he be so naive as to think that he could climb the tower without any injuries?

The World Tower granted the privilege. How could it, given its reputation, allow the climbers to ascend the tower safely?

In reality…

He had considered going to the 690th floor to repair his body before gradually ascending.

However, he felt uneasy.

He was unsure how long Qin Dongbei would remain in the tower.

The skill’s cooldown time should have been 24 hours.

However, Qin Dongbei spent so much money on enhancing it. His skill’s cooldown period might be less than 24 hours.

What if it only took six hours or less?

Furthermore, the other party insisted on killing the Boai Group.

His eagerness made it seem like he could not stay in the tower for 24 hours.

Hence, for safety’s sake…

Wang Wen had to leave the tower as soon as possible.

He did not have time to heal. He would immediately ascend to the 700th floor and obtain the supreme treasure. He would grit his teeth and make his way through the scattered levels ahead!

The conclusion…

The three of them stood on the 698th floor.

The corners of his eyes twitched as he observed the scene in front of him.

He was not sure if it was because he had used his special privilege, but the atmosphere at the checkpoint had changed dramatically.

It had previously been an ordinary 698th floor, but it had become a special level then.

That was an action-type virtual space, according to Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, but they had never experienced it firsthand.

It was similar to children’s puzzle games.

The room was about a hundred square meters, with a watermelon-sized ball of light suspended in the center. It was constantly spewing out bright light spots.

Some of those light spots moved quickly, while others moved slowly. Some were straight lines, while others were curved. Some of them bounced off themselves or knocked other light sources away. Some of them would suddenly accelerate halfway through or split into multiple points.

Each tower climber had a small light ball the size of a fist in front of them, and they had to grab the small light ball to avoid the light spots from the big light ball.

When hit by a light spot, the small light ball would dissipate instantly, and it would take an hour to regenerate.

Since it was a virtual space, even if the tower climber hid the small light ball or blocked it with his body, he could not prevent the light from penetrating the block and touching it.

However, as long as he was not hit by any of the light spots…

Time passed.

In a charged state, the small light ball would appear.

If it could survive for an hour, it would be subjected to an energy attack capable of launching itself at the massive ball of light.

If the small light balls shot out were not scattered by the light spots, the big light balls would be destroyed if they collided with the ball.

The space cleared.

Wang Wen had previously encountered a similar level. The setting was different, but the gameplay was nearly identical.

That kind of level was strongly discouraged before the team members had selected a particularly suitable transcendent skill.

The level was not dangerous for the tower climber; it was purely a matter of time and mental strain.

Unless he gave up.

Otherwise, he would always be in a tense state.

He became more nervous as the hour approached. His previous efforts would be for naught if he were not careful.

It might be more interesting if it were a game.

Unfortunately, he was climbing the tower.

The tower climbers frequently wasted hours on that type of level, and in the end, they could not avoid having a mental breakdown and leaving the tower.

The three of them had no way out.

He had to grit his teeth and persevere.

That scene could be interpreted as the eight immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

Ren Ruoruo’s eyes flickered, and she gently pinched her light ball with two fingers, meticulously avoiding the light spots like a robot.

She appeared to be able to see the path of all of the light spots.

She could always find a suitable spot amid the overwhelming chaos.

She perfectly avoided every light spot that accelerated, twisted, split, or reflected. Her movements were as predictable as a textbook.

Unfortunately, her lips paled, and she was sweating after only a few minutes.

Wang Wen, on the other hand, used his spiritual power to block the light spots.

It went through.

Not even the light spots that appeared to have physical forms could do so.

So he created another light ball that resembled the small light ball and tossed it into the big light ball. It also went through with no reaction.

The small ball of light created by his spiritual power even jumped a few times politely when it landed on the ground.

Wang Wen was helpless.

The small ball of light could not come into direct contact with the big ball of light because it would scatter. Spiritual force creations were no longer effective, proving that the self that was charged up and shot out could only destroy the opposing party.

He would not be able to escape for at least an hour.

He tried every method imaginable, but in the end, he had to rely on his mental strength to move the small light ball around the room.

Like Ren Ruoruo, who had chosen different corners to jump nimbly through the puzzles in the scientific decipherment levels and waited an hour to charge up.

Fortunately, his mental power was transparent, and the operation process was clearer. His body did not block his vision, so he could avoid it. He looked more relaxed than Ren Ruoruo.

However, it would not be easy to persist for an hour.

He knew that the two of them were very tired.

On the other end, Zhu Xingguo thought about it with a serious expression.

He sold the little light ball in his hand to the Fair Exchange.

When he repurchased it, he found it was still as good as before!

He could even purchase three more small light balls!

Zhu Xingguo took the original light ball in his hand to prevent the accumulation of power in the Fair Exchange from moving, and the other three clones were placed in the Fair Exchange.

He would only sell the main item into the Fair Exchange to avoid trouble for a short time if he encountered a light spot that he could not avoid.

Wang Wen and Ren Ruoruo’s eyes lit up when they saw that scene.

If that method worked, there was still hope of finishing the level!

Ren Ruoruo even wanted to pass her own light ball to Zhu Xingguo for him to copy, but she was afraid of causing an accident, so she did not do that.

After gritting her teeth and persevering for more than half an hour, her gaze finally dimmed.

She struggled and continued to dodge with the experience she had gained from the previous half an hour.

However, she realized that she could not keep up with the rhythm no matter what.

In less than a minute, she was hit by a light spot that suddenly accelerated, turned, and split. She had failed.

Wang Wen lasted slightly longer than her.

However, after about 50 minutes, he sighed and sat on the ground, allowing the small light ball in the air to be drowned out by countless light spots.

Only Zhu Xingguo was left in the arena!

The three looked quietly at the small light ball in his hand.

The total time was approximately one hour and three to four minutes.

A brand new small light ball appeared in front of Zhu Xingguo.

Everyone had to confirm glumly that the small light ball that had entered Fair Exchange appeared the same on the surface, but the level no longer recognized it.

It was equivalent to silently dissipating the moment it was sold.

Furthermore, whether it was the original item or the replica in Zhu Xingguo’s hands, there was no reaction when it came into contact with the light spot.

No cannonball was launched even after charging for more than an hour.

They admitted defeat.

It was an action-type virtual space at the special checkpoint on the World Tower’s 698th floor.

He would wait for another hour to try again.

Or should he directly use the one-and-only chance to skip the floor without any reward?

Ren Ruoruo turned to look at Wang Wen.

Yes.

Wang Wen nodded and said softly, “Let’s skip this.”
