Chapter 161: Frightened
It was difficult to turn down the captain’s kindness.
Ren Ruoruo ordered the chicken soup out of politeness.
She did not really get up in the middle of the night to eat.
Wang Wen noticed that she was eating less and could not help but say, “More food? That’s too little.”
Ren Ruoruo, unsure whether to laugh or cry, said, “Captain, just ask the question. It’s no problem at all. It will not matter even if I order every dish in the restaurant.”
Wang Wen thought it made sense and did not try to persuade her further. He reached for a tissue to wipe his mouth.
Then, he drank a spoonful of soup.
“You seem to have touched the edge of the puzzle before, right?” he asked mysteriously. “Tell me about the scientific decipherment puzzle.”
“Was that why you invited me here? Captain, you’re breaking through a scientific decipherment?” Ren Ruoruo asked, her eyes wide.
“No, no. Am I that lucky?” Wang Wen asked, waving his hand. “I am simply asking about your future. What do you think? Is it challenging for you?”
Ren Ruoruo shook her head and asked, “What is so difficult about it? It isn’t easy to put into words. It’s as if my brain cleared up and my ability to process all this information reached a whole new level. My comprehension and analysis abilities are exceptional. It’s as if I have solved the puzzle a million times and can see the solution at a glance.”
After hearing her story, Wang Wen was taken aback.
He sighed. As one would expect from the field in which he excelled the least. Was that sensation so illusory?
“Is there anything else?” He tried to ask again.
Ren Ruoruo nodded and tried for a long time to recall. She finally shook her head and said, “That’s about it. There were only a few metaphysical feelings, such as a premonition or a sudden inspiration. I am not sure.”
Wang Wen thought it was utterly useless. He waved his hand disinterestedly and said, “All right, after you finish eating, you can go back and rest. I will eat some more.”
Ren Ruoruo’s eyes widened in surprise.
“That’s all?” she exclaimed as she stood up, lifted the hem of her dress, twisted her waist, and shouted.
“Alright, don’t flaunt your body. You don’t have a full figure.” Wang Wen grabbed the drone, removed a prop, and hurled it at her. “Here’s a Daluo Creation Pill. It’s not just another prop. It has a terrifying effect. It can cure any injury as long as it doesn’t involve broken bones. There are no restrictions on its consumption. You can even eat it like candy. You can prevent any fatal injuries.”
The captain’s amazing introduction piqued Ren Ruoruo’s interest. She requested that the drone scan the data.
The information was straightforward. [It has an auxiliary healing effect on injuries.]
Ren Ruoruo was taken aback by the magnitude of the difference.
“Captain, the information on that item does not seem to be the same as what you said,” she said, pointing toward the pill.
Wang Wen was displeased when he heard this. “Which one is different? Is it about eating?”
“That is not restricted, but…”
“Does it have any healing properties?”
“That, too, but…”
“Did it not say which injuries were ineffective? Are all injuries treatable?”
“I mean…”
“It is not just for eating; it is for all injuries; it keeps you from dying from serious injuries.” Everything is fine. Which one is different?” Wang Wen gave her a strange look.
Ren Ruoruo grabbed the pill box and ran.
“Young lady.” Wang Wen shook his head and smiled. He dialed Mo Ran’s number.
“Do you want to have supper?” he asked as soon as the man answered the phone.
“Come on out; it is my birthday.”
After ten minutes, Mo Ran approached the table with a solemn expression. “What is the problem?”
Wang Wen smiled and gestured toward the menu. “I have a question for you, but you must first order something. We can talk after you have finished your meal.”
“I am in a hurry.”
“What is it that you can’t say over the phone that you have to meet face to face?” Mo Ran yelled, pointing to his phone. “Do you know how busy I am every day?”
Customers at the table next to him snorted scornfully and bit into the large steak in the bowl.
“Sit, sit, sit.” Wang Wen noticed the round robot and assumed there was a fight outside, so he quickly drew Mo Ran to a seat. “I just got a prop and want to share it with you,” he said politely. “How can I give it to you over the phone?”
He took out a box and mysteriously stuffed it into Mo Ran’s hands as he spoke.
“Daluo Creation Pill, don’t think of it as just another prop,” he said solemnly. “The effect is simply too terrifying.”
“I have plenty of those candies myself,” Mo Ran sneered as he stuffed the box back into Wang Wen’s hands. “Who would want to eat them for 3,000 market points?”
Wang Wen was taken aback. “Is the difference between the 400th and 100th floors really that great? Is it really that difficult to persuade you?”
“Can you tell me what the 100th floor is? Have you tried scaring anyone else with that thing?” Mo Ran’s attention was successfully diverted.
Wang Wen did not respond.
He kept calling for people to come out because he had fought two waves of enemies in a row that day. His body could not bear the strain, but he was also very nervous and tired.
Especially Qin Dongbei’s group. It was difficult for them to survive at first, let alone fight back.
Finally, they turned to two unexpected methods.
They forcibly changed the situation and drove the people away.
That was particularly impressive.
But he did not go around bragging about himself.
Whether it was besieging Wei to save Zhao or using a curve to save the country, he successfully forced the Tiansheng Group’s three terrifying old monsters away because Qin Dongbei, who had just entered the 500th floor, was a hindrance.
He would not bring the old monsters with him the next time they left the tower, whether Qin Dongbei was safe or not.
Wang Wen, who had only reached the 300th floor, was confronted with the old monsters without the enemy’s undercover members. Even if he did not die, he would have lost a layer of skin.
He had also been in the tower when he was supposed to stay away. He could only begin by breaking through the mist if he wanted to increase his strength explosively in a short period.
Nobody had ever broken through the mist’s basic five skills on their own.
No one expected that breaking through the mist one person at a time would result in a chemical reaction-like change.
He would have laughed if someone had told Wang Wen that he could defeat climbers from the 600th floor using only his basic skills.
He would definitely slap the other party twice to wake them up!
Who would be so arrogant that he dared to say such words despite being a master of the five basic skills?
However, he was struck by the strength of multiple items.
Only two items, mental strength and poison-making skills, had the potential to cause such a seismic shift.
What if there were three different items?
What kind of terrifying appearance would it take on?
A little more greedy?
What about five things?
Wang Wen had ambitious goals. A fire was burning in his mind.
The people around him had good friends who were about to break through the other two items.
He came to learn from them and see if they could assist him in breaking through other basic skills.
Ren Ruoruo did not help him at all.
Mo Ran was in charge of the next step. He was the intelligence team leader for the First Consortium. On the 400th floor, he was a world-class big shot. He had to go all out!
As a result, Wang Wen’s eyes lit up as he asked Mo Ran about the sensation of breaking through in physical combat.
He appeared eager to learn and humble in his request for assistance.
Mo Ran, on the other hand, left angrily as soon as he realized that.
Regardless of how Wang Wen tried to persuade or call him, he did not back down.
He said, “Broken Might? I will break you!”
