Chapter 75: Adulterers
The World Tower had a simple rule that everyone followed.
The normal levels below the 500th floor would only produce ordinary items, whereas the minor extreme levels would produce common and rare items.
As for the supreme treasure, one could only find them at violent extreme levels.
That set of rules had never been seen before in any other situation.
Therefore, those who had completed the 100th-floor violent extreme level and those who had gone through the 100th-floor perpetual level would have vastly different skills.
Firstly, violent extreme levels like the 100th floor would produce more items than the usual extreme levels like the 80th and 90th floors.
Secondly, only violent extreme levels had supreme treasures, but one might not get it every time. They would have to go through the perpetual level to make up for their luck.
Thirdly, in terms of difficulty, only those who had completed the violent extreme levels were qualified to continue climbing the tower. After all, there were only ten violent extreme levels in the entire tower.
The second man confessed sincerely and cried.
However, that did not change the fact that he was hiding the truth.
Initially, he assumed he would be confronted with an ordinary 20th level. With the other three higher-level experts leading the way, his lie would not be exposed.
No one said that a 100th-floor expert was rare, right?
Was he that unlucky?
Perhaps being poor was also a factor. He could sell all the rare items that he had collected.
However, any excuse was meaningless.
There were guns on that floor!
Even if all five people present were experts, they might not be able to pass safely.
One was even still eating and drinking.
Two of them were women?—one focused on spiritual power and the other on scientific decryption.
The only man who focused on physical combat stood alone, frowning. He could almost feel a significant amount of pressure approaching him.
He had a solemn expression on his face.
It was as if a thousand weights were hanging from his face.
Cries and screams could be heard outside. Someone was checking the shelves line by line, planning to gather the hostages.
That discovery made a few of them sad and also a little perplexed.
Was it really necessary to rob a run-down supermarket?
Gather the hostages?
What was the situation? Were they still willing to fight? Were they going to wrangle a car to transport the ten boxes of instant noodles and two bags of sausages?
“We’ll search the shelves later. If there are less than three people, you will attract their attention.” The man turned his head and whispered to the three people behind him, “I have an item here. It’s a 100-story rare item, the Silent Dagger. No matter where you stab, it will make the other party unable to make a sound. You can do whatever you want.”
Before he could finish his sentence, the three of them looked as if they had seen ghosts.
His heart skipped a beat.
Then he heard an angry yell from the front.
He turned around to see a masked gangster with a shotgun. The shotgun’s black muzzle was aimed directly at his head. Aside from him, two gangsters in the same headgear charged in, waving their machetes.
The man lead was terrified. He raised both of his hands to show his submission.
The gangster barged in and grabbed him. Something was wrong, and the man realized it. The Silent Dagger was discovered just as he was about to muster the courage to fight.
He looked at the gangster’s small dagger and tried to explain in a foreign language that it was just a fruit knife.
The gangster holding the machete smashed the hilt of the knife into his stomach.
“Urgh!” The first man clutched his stomach and bent down to retch. The gangsters pushed him out by twisting his arms.
The remaining two were treated the same.
The first woman was not very cooperative in the body search. She continued to dodge them. She was slapped in the face and instantly became obedient.
The first man was very cooperative. However, the gangster did not find anything. He was furious and decided to reward him with a knife hilt on his waist. The first man gasped in pain.
The three people could only watch as their hands were tied behind their backs.
Was that the 20th floor?
When did the 20th floor become so complicated?
Why was there no chance at all?
Did they encounter a new type of level?
Did they have to leave the tower after only reaching the 20th floor that week?
Would it not be humiliating to return with dozens of points?
Their heads were filled with questions, and their hearts were filled with complaints.
Even when the muzzle was pointed at their heads, they did not dare to resist.
A climber would be difficult to match for a gun unless they had a very inventive rare item or a unique type of treasure.
It was Mi Lailai’s turn to be searched as the three of them were led out. The knife-wielding bandit was taken aback when he saw her eyes. He turned to face the person who was holding the gun on the shelf.
The gun-wielding bandit received the gaze and went forward to check. When he saw Mi Lailai, he was also stunned. He stood on the spot in a daze for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, he raised his gun and fired at his companion.
The unprepared gangster’s head exploded like a watermelon. Everything splattered.
The remaining gangster slashed at the gunman’s arm with his machete. The shotgun was thrown to the ground, and the two gangsters fought.
The two men and the woman who saw that scene outside were shocked.
Mi Lailai said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to attract their attention? Was that considered a success?”
One of her hands picked up the shotgun from the ground and fired at the two struggling gangsters.
Two watermelons exploded.
Wang Wen, who had eaten and drunk enough, wiped his mouth and held the gun. He said, “Yes.”
Mi Lailai said cheerfully to Wang Wen, “Little Brother, are you done?”
Wang Wen paused for a moment before taking up the gangster’s machete and severing the rope that bound the three of them.
The first man immediately picked up his Silent Dagger and thanked Wang Wen, “Thank you, Brother. Otherwise, we would have been completely wiped out.”
Wang Wen turned his head to look at Mi Lailai. “Even without me, it is impossible for us to be completely wiped out,” he said, shaking his head.
As he spoke, Mi Lailai wiped her bloody hands and walked forward. She cheerfully said, “I’m done too. What do you want to do next, Little Brother Warrior?”
Wang Wen carried his gun and walked out without saying a word.
Mi Lailai also walked out without saying a word.
On the way, Wang Wen knocked down every gangster who approached him. His skills were improving, and his accuracy was improving as well.
After a few rounds of fighting, the gangsters realized that they were in trouble, so they quickly summoned reinforcements.
They did not know why they had to make such a big effort to rob a supermarket.
Finally, more armed reinforcements appeared!
They had more than one gun!
However, as soon as the armed gangster showed his face, Mi Lailai stretched out her hand and pointed at him.
For a brief moment, that person’s eyes were dazed.
Wang Wen grasped that opportunity. He shot at the gunman’s chin and most of his neck.
Wang Wen hefted the shotgun in his hand after noticing that the other party had not fired a single shot and his head had tilted to the side. His face revealed a dissatisfied expression.
The accuracy was still insufficient. The bullets were too scattered. It would be difficult to control them if they were further away.
He abruptly forgot about the shotgun he had received from the Tiansheng Group’s eldest young master, Qin Wuzheng.
It was powerful and had a straight trajectory. That was a weapon that a man should use.
However, it was slightly more troublesome to change the bullets.
Wang Wen thought as he walked to where the gunman had fallen. He sighed at the other party’s thoughtfulness. He knew that he was running out of ammunition and quickly sent someone to deliver them.
The two men and one woman looked at each other in dismay.
As they looked at the two seemingly-fearless people in front of them, a thought popped up in their minds?—what a pair of brave adulterers!
