Chapter 160: The Wonderful and Broken World
The group’s assessment was based on hindsight.
They would perish if they enraged the robber in front of them.
The middle-aged man quickly regained his senses. He promptly released Wang Wen’s arm and apologized repeatedly.
Wang Wen cast a glance at him.
He rolled his eyes and considered for a moment.
“There are many ways to solve the problem of being troubled by the Tiansheng Group,” he comforted him in a mysterious and soft voice.
“How so?” The spirit of the middle-aged man jolted as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
“Isn’t destroying the Tiansheng Group enough?” Wang Wen smiled faintly.
The middle-aged man quickly returned to his gloomy demeanor and sat on the ground. “Don’t joke with me. Is it too late for me to return the pills to you now?”
Wang Wen declined. “Don’t even consider it. If you don’t want to get in trouble, find a trash can and throw it away, or take the initiative to return it to the group. When they see you using your meager salary to help the group reclaim the relics, they might even give you a promotion and a raise.”
The eyes of the middle-aged man glowed.
That was a brilliant idea!
His expression became more conflicted when his gaze returned to the pillbox in his hand.
“I am afraid of causing trouble, but I can’t bear the thought of giving up the pills.” Wang Wen gave a cocky little devil smile. His tone seemed to be tinged with a strange temptation. “I can teach you to climb the tower. If you can’t stay in the outside world, stay in the World Tower.”
Because the middle-aged man had never met Wang Wen, the topic of teaching him to climb the tower did not appeal to him. He refused with a firm shake of his head. “I still have sick family members to care for, so I can’t enter the World Tower and risk my life.”
He fell into a silent dilemma after saying that.
He clenched his teeth.
He became depressed.
But he did not say anything else.
Wang Wen shrugged uncomfortably and continued to gather the relics. The final two rows of shelves were completed.
The executive director next to him approached with caution and said, “Thank you.”
Wang Wen was bored and irritable, so he asked her, “How are you going to thank me?”
The executive director’s body shook, and her face became pale. For a long time, she was unable to speak.
Wang Wen laughed and collected the last few items out of boredom. He pulled the drone over and kicked it like a football toward the door of the relics warehouse after handing the points to the drone to ensure that all the items were stored correctly and could be retrieved at any time.
His strength increased by one unit after his physique improved.
The kicked drone flew out the door like a cannonball. It had to roll a long distance before losing speed and stumbling into the air. Only then did it find its footing.
Wang Wen, who walked out the door without saying anything, caught the woman’s eye.
The executive director appeared dazed.
Was it really that simple?
That robber, who appeared young but acted like a veteran, just walked away like that?
Should he not rob something else because the office building was so large?
The executive director looked perplexed.
She turned to face Wang Wen.
He did not use the elevator at the time. He feared someone would stop the elevator and turn him into a hamburger.
It was only 300 floors, and he did not want to take any chances. He walked down the stairs calmly.
He made his way to the second floor. He paused briefly, looking at the Daluo Creation Pill he had eaten like candy.
He turned around and entered the office hall.
It was still a shambles on the inside.
The middle-aged woman, who had her nerves severed and fainted outside the office door, was still there.
Wang Wen was becoming more familiar with using the spiritual power poison to cut off one’s nerves, but he had no idea how to reconnect the nerves.
As a result, he fed the person on the ground a Daluo Creation Pill and attempted to reconnect the severed nerves with his spiritual power. He then stood up and walked away.
Her luck would determine whether she lived or died.
Wang Wen was unconcerned about what was right or wrong, good or evil. He was used to being unreasonable and only wanted to be efficient. Saving her was just an excuse for him to sleep soundly at night. She slowed things down and deserved to die, but he graciously forgave her.
Busy people tended to be arrogant.
What a wonderful and broken world they lived in!
The night was darkening.
Another day was approaching.
Wang Wen, who was walking down the street, rubbed his stomach and remembered that the last brunch and dinner seemed to have taken place six hours before.
He was perplexed about how the three Tiansheng Group old monsters had saved the boss.
Wang Wen was desperate to sneak a peek.
After all, he discovered thousands of items with various effects after roughly counting the spoils of war from the Tiansheng Group.
Even though the majority of them were mundane items from the lower levels of the tower, he had completed one-tenth of the mission in one trip.
Even with such a huge favor, even if he could not help, causing trouble would not be bad!
His mind was racing with wild ideas. He took out his phone and dialed Ren Ruoruo’s number.
The phone was quickly answered. Ren Ruoruo’s delighted voice could be heard. “Captain, you finally have time to pick up my call? How did you sleep?”
Wang Wen was perplexed. “Pick up your call? I’m the one calling you.”
“Take some time to look through the number of missed calls before you call me, okay?” Ren Ruoruo suggested.
Wang Wen did not understand her. He laughed and quickly changed the subject. “Do you want to eat dinner? Come on; it’ll be my treat!”
“Captain, it is getting late. Are you asking me out? How many people?” Ren Ruoruo inquired cheerfully.
“Just the two of us.” Wang Wen paused for a moment before saying, “If you are not interested, I will call Mo Ran.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” Ren Ruoruo exclaimed enthusiastically, “Please wait for me, Captain. That is our first date. I have to pick a dress.”
Wang Wen muttered helplessly, “Don’t get too dressed up. We’re going to District 3’s Shaxian Restaurant. I will find someone else if I do not see you in half an hour.”
“Shaxian Restaurant is in District 3, correct? A half-hour is sufficient.”
Wang Wen sighed as he heard the sound of a nuclear bomb hanging up the phone. He found it exhausting to communicate with others.
He entered the spotless Shaxian Restaurant.
Inside, there were only a few tables of customers.
Everyone was eating in silence.
Wang Wen missed the college cafeteria while quickly scanning the menu on his phone.
Steamed wonton, fried wonton, wonton soup, wonton noodles, and wonton fried rice
He completed his order with satisfaction.
During the meal, he summoned the drone and began meticulously inspecting the harvest from that trip.
There were over a thousand relics, each with a unique effect. The tower level of those relics was roughly equivalent to the 299th floor. There were large and small, light and heavy objects. Keeping them had already cost him tens of thousands of points.
There were hundreds of ordinary low-level relics, such as the Daluo Creation Pill, that anyone could use, and obtaining them was not difficult. Even if each item needed one point to store, it would cost a few hundred points.
There were, however, only a few rare items in total.
There could only be one kind of treasure.
The magnificent Tiansheng Group could not be devoid of treasure. The only explanation was that some people took the valuable items with them and did not store them in storage.
That was what he thought.
Wang Wen could not help but grumble, “What a disappointment.”
The Tiansheng Group was evil. They disregarded all rules. How could they let someone handle the group’s affairs?
‘I can’t even get my hands on them!’
The robot brought the food to the table.
A customer who had completed his payment walked past him. With a surprised expression, he examined the six wonton dishes on the table. He nearly tripped over the phone he was using to pay the bill.
Wang Wen buried his head in the food, his ears twitching. He sneered, thinking it was nothing surprising.
A quarter-hour flew by.
A fragrant breeze blew through the Shaxian Restaurant door. Ren Ruoruo stood in front of Wang Wen’s table, her face flushed.
She seemed well-dressed and was far more stunning than when she was at the World Tower. She was in a white tasseled gown with frosted high heels and short boots tucked beneath her smooth calves. Her evening makeup looked exquisite and thick, and her hair was slightly curled at the ends. She appeared pure and seductive.
She stood there for a long time.
Customers at nearby tables also kept an eye on her for quite some time.
Only Wang Wen had his head buried in his food. He ate plate after plate of steamed, mixed, and fried wontons until he was sweating profusely.
Ren Ruoruo could not help but yell angrily, “Captain!”
Wang Wen wiped his brow and raised his head to greet her. “You’ve arrived? You can eat whatever you want. I will ask you a question later.”
Ren Ruoruo set her purse down, sat down, and propped her chin on her wrist. “Captain, why don’t you just ask me whatever you want?”
Wang Wen dipped the fried wonton into the spicy vinegar sauce. “You better eat something first, or I will be too embarrassed to ask,” he stuffed it into his mouth.
