Returning From Level 900 - Chapter 326 - 326 A Blessing, Not A Curse

Chapter 326 – 326 A Blessing, Not A Curse

326 A Blessing, Not A Curse

The world was very magical in Wang Wen’s eyes.

A bystander had rushed forward, as if joking, to commit suicide.

Some passersby jokingly abandoned their companions and fled.

What were those two passersby doing there?

His mind was filled with doubts.

His eyes began to shine.

He observed the woman in front of him with the strength of a scientific decipherment master.

He was surprised to discover signs of energy in the woman’s body!

It was not spiritual power or any other power.

It was the energy of 10,000 powers returning to one that he had only obtained after reaching the Broken Might level.

Of course, Wang Wen had no idea whether the woman had achieved that.

He could see that the energy in the other party’s body was genuine, even if it was weak.

Wang Wen had been working on energy issues for a few weeks, so he was very familiar with that type of energy.

He switched to the scientific decipherment observation mode because he felt strange yet familiar.

He had not felt it in his body for the first time.

The comfort came from understanding the energy itself.

The unexpected discovery caused Wang Wen to abandon his plan to devour the entire world temporarily.

He had previously used the Unity of Man and Nature for a total of eight hours. It took him half an hour to refuel his energy and another four hours to increase the number of times he used it.

There were also other delays, such as clearing the level and discovering a habitable world.

He did not think about adding another one in the remaining three hours because it was already difficult.

He did not leave the tower because he wanted to take advantage of the skill’s end to replenish his energy.

To be safe, he doubled the time needed to recharge, leaving an hour more than enough. Wang Wen was still unsure about the world’s food tolerance. He temporarily stopped swearing to prevent the entire planet from being devoured instantly, resulting in the extinction of all life.

In any case, he was in the Unity of Man and Nature state and had plenty of energy.

Even if he had full energy, if a truly powerful enemy prevented him from leaving the tower in time while he was in the state of Unity of Man and Nature, it would be pointless.

Wang Wen silently followed the woman.

He wanted to see more people in power.

He wanted to ask them how they obtained that energy.

Outside the tower…

The four of them waited in the square.

“Why hasn’t the Master left the tower yet?” Zhu Xingguo asked curiously.

“Could something have happened?” Chen Hansheng asked suspiciously.

“I’ll go back and take a look,” Mo Ran said resolutely.

Chen Hansheng stopped him. He looked around carefully to make sure that no one was eavesdropping before he gently persuaded him. “If I remember correctly, your privilege is to return to your original position before leaving the tower, right? That was space! If something really happened to Wang Wen, you would not be able to help even if you went there!”

Mo Ran broke free of his grip and rushed into the entrance to activate the drone.

“Return the way we came!”

Chen Hansheng quickly retrieved a bottle from the relic library and stuffed it into Mo Ran’s hand before he disappeared.

Zhu Xingguo could not use the Fair Exchange after he left the tower, so he could only give them a piece of bread. He also wanted to go in and find his master, but unfortunately, he did not have the right privilege to go back.

Cheng Qiaoyi looked at them and said, “Why don’t you think of a way to put on a spacesuit and go in?”

Chen Hansheng shook his head. “At present, we have yet to develop a fully scanned non-World Tower tool. No matter how light, compact, and non-metal it is, it will more or less lose some of its function during the transmission process.”

Cheng Qiaoyi nodded thoughtfully. “I thought the top consortiums would have methods that ordinary people don’t know about. It turns out that you can’t either.”

Chen Hansheng looked at her speechlessly, thinking, ‘Aren’t we all on the same side?’

Mo Ran’s figure reappeared at the portal entrance shortly after he disappeared.

His body, restored with the world energy point, became half-dead again.

His pale lips were biting the bottle that Chen Hansheng had given him.

His eyes slowly brightened. When he saw the people surrounding him, he finally let out a long breath and said, “There’s no one there when I go back.”

Zhu Xingguo cautiously took out a replica Great Rejuvenation Golden Core that he had stored in the drone and gave it to Mo Ran.

Mo Ran looked at the information on the prop and immediately spat out Chen Hansheng’s bottle. He opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

Chen Hansheng frowned as he analyzed the situation. “It must be because of teleportation. We left in different orders. I left earlier, so who was the last to leave?”

As he spoke…

The three of them looked at Cheng Qiaoyi in unison.

Cheng Qiaoyi became flustered. “He was fine when I left! He told me he would heal me after I left the tower.”

The three of them fell silent again.

“Forget it; it’s a blessing, not a curse. Let’s go back and rest,” Chen Hansheng said. “I’ll arrange for someone to stay here and keep an eye on things. If anything happens, we’ll be notified.”

In the end…

Other than Chen Hansheng, who had returned to the company to get busy…

Zhu Xingguo, Cheng Qiaoyi, and Mo Ran did not leave.

There were still more than eight hours before midnight.

They wanted to keep waiting until Wang Wen left the tower.

After such a long time, Wang Wen, who thought that no one would be waiting for him, finally had someone willing to put down everything to wait for him to leave the tower.

Chief Gu had once waited for him before he died, but he seemed to be in good health in his new life. With Wang Wen’s pace of climbing the tower, it was hard to say who would be the first to leave.

At that point…

The few people at the entrance thought the week’s progress of climbing the tower was over.

Even though they had different feelings during their ascension to the 600th level, they were all praying for the same thing.

They wanted to see Wang Wen.

During that week…

He Jiong felt very strange.

He noticed something.

Du Keke kept in touch with him frequently during the first few days.

Inviting her to dinner, shopping, or the movies was also very easy.

It was so easy that he assumed they had begun dating.

However, the situation changed in the next few days.

He could not get her to go out.

She did not reply to his messages.

She also had all sorts of excuses to reject his calls.

He could not understand it.

He did not know if he had done something wrong, but he decided to clarify things that day.

On the other hand…

Du Keke was having afternoon tea with her best friend.

It was the weekend again.

It was the day the climbers would leave the tower.

Basically, there would be some incredible gatherings over the next two days.

A person who had just survived a disaster would be in a different mood than usual, and they were likely to be more fragile than usual.

If any excellent climbers went into the tower, it was best to wait for them during those two days.

However, Du Keke was not waiting for that.

She was depressed.

She complained to her best friend, “So annoying! Why isn’t there a ready-made prince waiting for me?”

“Didn’t you get along well with Mr He?” Her best friend wondered.

“What’s so good about that?” Du Keke put down her coffee cup in frustration. “When I discovered that he knew the big shots, I thought he was a rich man who hid his wealth well. But what has he been doing for the past three to four days? We ate, watched movies, and went shopping in the Four Seasons Square in District 3! I haven’t even been to District 2, let alone District 1!”

Her best friend was even more puzzled. “What does eating and watching movies have to do with whether or not he has money? Don’t rich people eat? Besides, even if he doesn’t have money now, isn’t it possible that he knows some big shots, as you said? You’ll definitely have a great future, so what’s there to worry about?”

Du Keke turned to face her best friend.

She felt helpless and wanted to laugh. She said unhappily, “You have to be more careful! Fairy tales are just fantasies. What do you think the future holds? If he doesn’t have money now, how can he guarantee that he will have money in the future? Should I use my youth to bet on his future? What if I lose? Who will return my youth to me? Why don’t I find a rich man to guarantee my victory?”

“But—” Her best friend asked in confusion, “You didn’t say that a few days ago, did you? I thought Mr. He was the real deal.”

Du Keke burst out laughing.

She looked around.

She stirred the spoon in the cup and said with disdain, “Aren’t all men like this? How can I make them believe I changed my mind if I don’t say something nice?”

“Keke, I think—” Her best friend tried to persuade her.

“He’s calling again! He is too annoying!” Du Keke frowned as she took out her phone and checked the caller ID.

She took a deep breath.

She picked up the call and said gently, “Brother, I’m having afternoon tea with my best friend; do you want to come?”
