Chapter 94: What A Joke?
Wang Wen squinted his eyes when he saw the familiar scene.
A Square Formation level appearing twice in a week?
The likelihood was far too low.
He kept an eye on it.
He heard Proud Man in front of him rubbing his hands together and asking, “How do we divide the positions?”
Wang Wen was just about to say that they should take turns in fighting the monsters. However, Mr. Liu said, “I think the strongest person can fight the big monsters, and the others will guard the small monsters. What do you think?”
That was a very clever sentence.
Everyone had just announced their respective levels not long ago.
If their tower level indicated strength, Proud Man on the 400th level was clearly the strongest.
It was perfectly normal if the person who suggested it was Proud Man. It would not be unusual.
After all, the opposing party had always been assertive.
The clever thing was that Newcomer Liu had made the suggestion.
That was a bit intriguing.
Wang Wen narrowed his eyes and focused on the two people in front of him. He could tell they were conspiring.
He reflected on the oddity of that checkpoint.
He laughed. He reasoned that it was best not to risk his team.
Therefore, he did not make a sound and nodded his head to express his agreement.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, who were standing behind him, had become more reserved since learning about the others’ tower level.
Aside from Proud Man’s unknown 400 floors, even Newcomer Liu was on the 320th floor. They could not offend them.
They both nodded when they saw their captain agreed to the other party’s proposal.
They both naturally agreed to the arrangement.
As a result, the four of them were divided into four corners, and Proud Man confronted the center’s big boss.
As the advocate, Newcomer Liu took the initiative to run to the farthest corner, demonstrating his selflessness.
Unfortunately, Wang Wen had already seen through his character, and that pretentious behavior would only reveal his intentions.
While putting their arms around each other’s shoulders, the two of them had probably already discussed how to distribute the benefits of that segment in private.
Many people would think that a 100th-floor tower climber and a 300th and 400th-floor climber did not have the qualifications to cooperate at all.
If they accidentally met on a random team, those on the 100th floor should consciously become tools.
They should not delude themselves into discussing reward distribution.
Wang Wen and the other two were pleased with their performance.
They had self-awareness of their abilities.
They did not step out to fight the big monster.
Not bad at all!
When Proud Man saw that they were obedient, he decided to leave one big monster for them to fight as a reward.
Everyone took their places quickly.
The small monsters started teleporting.
The big monsters slowly appeared in the air.
Just as Proud Man drew his weapon and was about to attack.
Newcomer Liu suddenly cried out in surprise.
“F*ck! What the hell?!”
Proud Man looked over in confusion.
He saw Newcomer Liu standing in the same place with his mouth agape, and the small monsters around his feet were all dead!
Veins popped on the prideful man’s forehead as he shouted, “What the hell? How am I supposed to control the situation if we start killing the monsters so early?”
Newcomer Liu turned his head innocently and said, “It’s not me! There’s something wrong with those monsters! I just touched them lightly, and they self-destructed! ”
When Proud Man heard that, his expression turned cold.
He focused his attention on the other three corners.
Wang Wen and the others were the same. They stood there helplessly.
The monsters that came out of the portal crashed into them, then self-destructed with a squeak and dropped to the ground.
That scene made Proud Man’s eyes widen.
With a wave of his hand, he cut the boss monster into two and shouted angrily, “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? How will we fight if the monsters in the Square Formation self-destruct?”
Newcomer Liu came to his side and said, “Maybe we have to persuade them to retreat.”
Proud Man once again split the two bosses into four. His face was red, and his neck was thick as he growled, “What kind of joke is that! I am a mighty immortal from the 400th floor. How can I be persuaded to retreat by a mere 70th floor? Come on! Invincible Cloud Breaker Blade!”
As his voice fell, the unremarkable long blade in his hand suddenly increased in height.
It grew thicker and larger.
It grew into a massive blade nearly ten stories tall in the blink of an eye.
Newcomer Liu looked up at the giant blade and was shocked. He kept retreating.
Proud Man used his long blade to slash down.
All the split bosses were cut in half.
Split again.
Split in half again.
The giant blade cut the split boss monsters in half no matter how many times it was split.
Proud Man, who controlled the long blade, flipped his sleeves and released his aura. He was like a god descending, with the giant blade above his head.
Newcomer Liu, Zhu Xingguo, and Ren Ruoruo were all dumbstruck and fascinated.
Was that the demeanor of a 400-floor boss?
Was it possible for a mortal to have the kind of power that seemed to be capable of destroying the world with a single move?
Wang Wen, who was standing far away, rubbed his chin and nodded several times.
No one could tell what he was thinking.
A few minutes later…
As he stared at the thousands of giant cockroaches that had already split up in front of him, Proud Man’s face turned pale.
His entire body appeared to be pulled from the water, and he was sweating profusely.
“F*ck!” he muttered, with a blank look in his eyes.
He stowed his long blade.
The giant blade’s shadow vanished into the sky.
He also turned into a white light and disappeared.
He did not even say a word.
He took off like a bird.
Newcomer Liu, who had been exclaiming all that time, was shocked.
Only the chaotic roars of the monster remained in the arena.
The four corners of the teleportation gate continued to send out small monsters incessantly.
The small monsters then gnashed their teeth and slammed into the tower climbers, squeaked, and self-destructed.
They spun around and crashed to the ground.
All the tower climbers were panicking.
Only Wang Wen smirked and pursed his lips.
The god-like, arrogant man proved at least one thing.
The boss monsters’ splitting speed was slower than the speed of the small monsters emerging from the teleportation gate.
In other words, if they did not solve the monsters’ self-destructing problem…
If they tried to compete by killing the boss monsters head-on, they would end up exhausted and useless like Proud Man.
Even if they could kill the boss monsters in one hit…
During the slow splitting process of the boss monsters, the small monsters had already died for the next round.
Newcomer Liu killed a few giant cockroaches.
He walked to Wang Wen’s side dejectedly and said, “It’s over. The man had given up. What are your plans?”
Wang Wen shook his head and turned to face his two teammates, who were still fighting the giant cockroaches in the distance. “Perhaps we can practice with those monsters,” he said casually.
Newcomer Liu nodded and agreed. “That’s right. You 100th-floor tower climbers should practice more. There aren’t many good opportunities like this.’
After he finished speaking, he found a quiet corner far away from the monsters and would not be disturbed. He sat down alone and took out a metal bottle to drink silently.
Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo could not be bothered to guard their corner. They killed the cockroaches and walked toward Wang Wen. They looked at the person sitting alone in the distance and asked, “Captain, what happened to him? What did you say?”
Wang Wen shrugged and guessed. “Maybe he was hit by a blow.”
Ren Ruoruo thought briefly and nodded, “It’s possible. He has such a high level, after all. After all, his identity was there. It must be regrettable to be persuaded to leave at such a low level.”
Wang Wen smiled and looked at her. “What about you guys? You must be sad too, right?”
Ren Ruoruo looked at Zhu Xingguo. She smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ve been on the 100th floor. I don’t mind leaving the 70th floor, but I must take advantage of the situation, right? Furthermore, this trip with you has earned me more than 100,000 points. It is already a windfall. I’m satisfied!”
Wang Wen turned to look at Zhu Xingguo. “She’s good. What about you?”
Zhu Xingguo scratched his head. He said, “It is a pity, but I don’t have any regrets. I’ve seen a lot of things that I’d never seen before this trip. The hidden mechanism, the speed mechanism, and the prestige of those high-level bigwigs. I’m good too.”
“One is content, and the other says it’s worth it.” Wang Wen nodded and shouted at the person sitting alone, “Mr. Liu, do you mind changing the reward distribution mode?”
Newcomer Liu turned around and looked at him. He raised the metal bottle and shouted, “Do whatever you want. As long as you’re happy.”
To him, there was no need to care about the distribution mode when he was trying to persuade people to leave.
What was the distinction between one and four zeros?
He held the metal bottle and poured the liquid into his mouth. He looked like he was caring for a child and laughing at a joke.
“Okay.” Wang Wen called the drone and said, “Change the reward distribution mode and assign it to the captain.”
The drone flew around to confirm it.
No one had any objections.
The drone lowered its mechanical voice again, indicating that the members present were not from the same team. They needed to select a team leader specifically to be the one to distribute the rewards.
Of course, Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo voted for Wang Wen without hesitation.
In the distance, Newcomer Liu casually gave up voting, indicating that they had the final say.
So, Wang Wen officially became the captain of that team.
He had the right to distribute the rewards of that round.
Looking at the monsters in the field, Wang Wen nodded with satisfaction and said, “Leave? You must be joking.”
