Chapter 262 - I Need A Fighter
Wang Wen paused for a moment.
He fell backward.
An invisible chair appeared behind him.
It supported Wang Wen’s falling body, allowing him to sit in the air.
He shook his head.
The bullet fell to the ground.
The transparent barrier had nullified most of the bullet’s power.
In the end, the impact broke only a small portion of his skin and caused some fractures.
That minor injury was insignificant compared to the one in the World Tower.
Zhu Xingguo rushed to his side, seeing blood pouring from his eyes and nose. He was in a hurry because he was scared. To clean and treat the wound, he took some Elixir of Life from the drone that had been copied but not left in the Fair Exchange.
Cheng Qiaoyi wrapped a clean piece of gauze around the wound.
However, she realized that his wound was almost healed.
She thought for a moment.
She still insisted on wrapping Wang Wen’s head like a mummy.
Wang Wen sat on the invisible chair and let them do whatever they wanted.
In that instant..
The bullet did not hurt him, but the shock from the hit to the head allowed him to see some scattered images.
Those scenes did not belong to any of his memories.
It was from his perspective, and it was vaguely familiar.
The images were very fragmented.
He was unable to finish the story.
It was like a few insignificant pieces of a much larger puzzle.
More fragments would be required if he wanted to see the entire thing.
He pondered that.
Was there any significance to those images?
Was it because of the scenery he had unconsciously swept across in his previous life when he climbed the tower?
Was it an unimportant scene in a dream?
Was it a memory that he had experienced but forgotten?
Should he consider taking another shot to see if he could see more?
Wang Wen was a little unsure.
A person somersaulted in the air and flew back.
It was Ren Ruoruo.
She was also carrying a man.
The man stared at Ren Ruoruo as if he had seen a ghost and kept saying, “I’m a 500th-floor tower climber, and I have the supreme treasure sniper rifle. Why can’t I beat you?
Ren Ruoruo casually swung her stick and hit him on the head.
The man immediately started bleeding.
That, however, could not shut him up.
“Why can’t I beat you?” he asked.
The two of them landed on the ground. Ren Ruoruo threw the man in front of Wang Wen. “That was the guy who fired the gun. He was 2000 meters away!
The man asked, “I’ve reached the 500th floor. It was a supreme treasure. Why can’t I beat you?”
Zhu Xingguo stepped forward and kicked him, growling, “Stop being so long-winded! You’re on the 500th floor while he’s on the 700th floor. What’s so unusual about not beating him?”
The man was dumbfounded.
“Master, what should we do with this person?” Zhu Xingguo turned around and asked Wang Wen.
The man turned around and looked at the mummy again.
After a while..
“You’re not dead?”
Wang Wen came back to his senses and looked at the man. “You have a supreme treasure? Let me see.”
“You think I’m stupid?” the man smirked.
Bang!
The man’s head exploded from the inside out.
It was like a blooming sunflower.
At that point..
The people from the Tiansheng Group had either died or fled.
They left behind a pile of mess.
Li He, Mi Lailai’s team, Mo Ran, Zhou Shengsheng, Chen Hansheng, and Deputy Chief Jiang were still there.
As well as Cheng Qiaoyi and Xiao Liu, who were hiding far away.
Everyone watched silently as Wang Wen hovered in the air and returned to the ground.
No one spoke.
They did not know how to face Wang Wen, who could even defeat the Tiansheng Group’s old monsters.
Li He’s gaze was complicated.
He had always thought that he was the one with the most strength in the academy.
He did not expect someone to appear out of nowhere and fly higher and faster than him.
He felt a little disappointed.
Mo Ran’s gaze was also complicated.
He had always thought that his strength was not much different from Wang Wen’s.
He did not expect him to kill the old monsters in one shot. The gap in their skills was significant.
He felt a little disappointed.
The gazes of Mi Lailai’s team were even more complicated.
Just then..
The tall and handsome team member in Mi Lailai’s arms vomited blood.
His eyes reddened.
When Ren Ruoruo returned, she discovered her captain was fine, but that comrade appeared to be dying. While her Devil’s Form was still active, she decided to throw the Light of Life at him.
She felt no heartache because the Light of Life only had a six-hour cooldown.
The effects were reduced by half, but Ren Ruoruo returned to her normal.state after she drank a bottle of Elixir of Life.
The other party had also returned to his usual rosy and lustrous state.
Mi Lailai was speechless.
The tall and handsome man was speechless.
He was too embarrassed to lie down again, so he got up nimbly and shook his body.
When he realized that the wound on his chest had almost recovered, he looked at Ren Ruoruo as if he had had a stroke. “A healing-type transcendent skill? And the effect is so amazing? Which corporation do you work for?”
Ren Ruoruo carefully placed the empty bottle of Elixir of Life in her bag and waited to go back to the World Tower to sell it to Zhu Xingguo.
“I’m not from any of them. I’m with Captain Wang,” she replied casually.
“Captain—” The tall and handsome man turned his head to look at Wang Wen. He swallowed his saliva and no longer said a word.
He had arrived late, so he did not know much about the people’s relationships.
Of course..
It was apparent then.
He could not poach anyone related to Wang Wen.
The man was too talented.
He felt a little disappointed.
There were a few people who were disappointed.
However, no one was as disappointed as Zhou Shengsheng.
He was deeply worried about his own group.
He regretted the step he had taken earlier.
He did not know if anyone could tell.
However, that step definitely significantly lowered his score in Wang Wen’s heart.
He felt very aggrieved.
What could a young master who could not make decisions do in that situation?
Would he drag the group into the issue or accept responsibility?
Fortunately, Wang Wen was strong enough to sink the enemy!
What if he did not manage to do that?
A war would have ensued!
He was also thinking about the group’s long-term development.
historical
How could he attack in a moment of heat?
Zhou Shengsheng consoled himself.
Finally, he saw Chen Hansheng, who was ready to fire his gun in a flash of inspiration, as if he had won the lottery ticket.
He waved his fist and shouted in excitement.
He walked up to Wang Wen with a face full of joy and looked at him for a long time as if he were looking at a treasure. The veins on his head, face, and neck were popping out. He slapped Wang Wen’s arm hard and turned to Mi Lailai, shouting, “The Tiansheng Group’s top climbers are gone! No one can stop you now! Let’s take down the Tiansheng Group tonight!”
Just as he finished speaking..
His phone rang.
Chen Hansheng answered the call with a flushed face.
“Boss,” a sad voice came from the other end. “Our men surrounding Qin Dongbei have suffered heavy casualties. His strength is at least 600h-floor, and he has a high-level transcendent skill!”
Chen Hansheng’s face flushed as he stood rooted to the ground.
Wang Wen looked at the broken glass door of the hot pot restaurant in the distance.
He sighed silently.
“I’m not eating; let’s get down to business first,” he said to Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo.
The three turned around and walked toward the teleportation gate, with the stalker holding onto the corner of his clothes.
They left behind a group of people looking at each other.
Chen Hansheng’s group quickly followed, and their expressions became excited again.
Zhou Shengsheng was a little hesitant. On the other hand, Mo Ran pretended to go to the World Tower and walked toward the portal.
Li He shook his head and returned to the academy.
The five-person team from the Regional Security Department looked at the mess.
Their opinions became exceptionally unified.
Especially when they heard Chen Hansheng’s strange cry. “The guards are here to clean up the floor!”
The five gritted their teeth and cursed, “What’s the point of being a guard?” After that, they followed Wang Wen’s footsteps in an orderly manner.
Wang Wen nodded at Deputy Chief Jiang.
He pulled Mo Ran aside and said, “Your gloves are broken. I’ll compensate you with a good one later, but you must climb the tower with me. I need a fighter.”
When Mo Ran heard Wang Wen’s words, his eyes lit up with joy. Then he realized that he was treated like a thug. “Just for the sake of the gloves. But it can’t be worse than mine, or I won’t do it!” he snorted.
He might have said that.
But his heart thought differently.
He had assumed that Wang Wen, who had evolved, would no longer be interested in him, a 400th-floor tadpole.
He did not expect the other party to take the initiative to invite him to the tower.
What did that mean?
That proved that he was still very popular!
Mo Ran felt a little happy, and his steps became lighter.
For some reason, a sentence popped into his mind—he could climb the tower with him again.
