Chapter 268: The Most Suitable Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No matter how slow he was…

Wang Wen and the other two made it to the 700th-floor safe zone three hours later.

Wang Wen finally heard the mechanical voice he had been expecting.

“All tower climbers arriving at the 700th floor for the first time can choose a supreme treasure from the 700th floor.”

He had already thoroughly researched that option in his previous life.

He did not hesitate to take down the only target in his heart at the time.

It was the Oath Scepter, a 700th-floor supreme treasure. It would make the user’s words come true as long as they started the sentence with the required words—I swear.

Very few items used spiritual power among the 700th floor’s supreme treasures.

Even more unusual was the fact that the item had no cooldown time!

In his previous life, he had only been a spiritual master, but he had been able to use that item to its fullest potential.

He had also been a Broken Might master in his previous life, and there were four aspects to that. His spiritual power had been amplified even more.

Wang Wen felt as if the entire world was in his hands when he held the scepter again!

He exhaled a long sigh of relief, content.

He looked around and began carrying out the plan he had been working on for a long time. He might have even waited too long.

He pulled the drone for a thorough inspection.

At the same time, he muttered, “I swear that I will use more spiritual power until I run out of points or I’m on the verge of death.”

His voice faded.

The scepter flashed with a faint light.

Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo noticed the light on the drone.

Wang Wen was in a peculiar state.

His face alternated between red and pale, and his body alternated between full and shriveled.

He seemed to be in a constant state of consumption and recovery.

The two of them were taken aback by the magical-like scene.

Only Wang Wen knew the extent of his suffering.

Even though he had felt that pain many times in his previous life, he strongly desired to die when he felt it again.

He did everything he could to suppress the self-giving desire in his brain to seek death.

He was constantly torn between exhaustion and recovery.

That happened until the points required to exchange for world energy points were depleted.

It was as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

After the end of the oath, Wang Wen gave people a very contradictory impression—he was weak because he was full of spirit.

He appeared to be in good health and full of energy.

However, his eyes were filled with exhaustion that was difficult to conceal.

“Master…” Zhu Xingguo approached him carefully and asked, “Are you alright?”

“No.”

Wang Wen shook his head. “My spiritual power has increased by at least tenfold. This should be the strongest state I’ve ever been in in my life.”

“Then why did you shake your head?” Zhu Xingguo was stunned.

“Because I want to die,” Wang Wen said, shaking his head.

Zhu Xingguo was speechless.

Ren Ruoruo stared at the Oath Scepter and asked, “Why is it spiritual energy? Captain, don’t you want to try breaking through?”

Wang Wen shook his head. “That’s the next step. Since the core of the scepter is mental power, I worry that I’ll not have enough points to heal if I use too much of my mental power. At least I’ve gained some mental power. If I fail to break through, I’ll save more points before I try again.”

Ren Ruoruo had seen that scepter before.

She did not think the scepter was all that great at the time. The item’s introduction was brief and nowhere near as commanding as the Battle Angel.

She did not expect the captain to take it right away.

Was there something that she did not understand?

With that thought in mind, Ren Ruoruo continued to ask her doubts, “Then why don’t you farm for points or world energy points?”

Wang Wen shook his head and sighed, saying, “You guys should have noticed it when you first went up to the 600th floor, right? For example, if I use my mental power and life force to create three world energy points, healing and restoration will require four or even five points. In the end, the oath will come true, but whether you have money or not, which will benefit the World Tower?”

“So, using points to exchange for other things that can’t be bought through restoration is the most suitable?” Ren Ruoruo looked at the scepter thoughtfully as if countless thoughts were spinning in her mind.

In her opinion, there must be some loophole in that item that the holder could exploit and use as he pleased.

It was just that he had not realized it yet.

If he could find a perpetual motion machine with an infinite cycle…

He would be invincible!

Ren Ruoruo fell into deep thought.

“Master, I don’t know which one to choose. Can you help me choose like before?” Zhu Xingguo asked Wang Wen.

Wang Wen stopped shaking his head.

He looked at him and said, “If I had to choose, I’d choose a very important prop on this floor, but I’ll have to trouble you.”

“What do you mean?” Zhu Xingguo was slightly stunned. “Do I have to do something?”

“It’s a tool that contributes to the team,” Wang Wen said. “For you, it’s a waste of a precious opportunity.”

Zhu Xingguo laughed. “I thought it was about quitting smoking or something! As long as it’s good for everyone, I’ll agree.”

Wang Wen and Ren Ruoruo looked at him in unison.

The word dumbass crossed their minds.

There would always be a small group of people in the world.

The things they did were irrational and brainless.

It was not even a decision that a normal person would make.

They would only be good to whoever was good to them.

They would always be good to whoever they liked.

They did not care about gains and losses, and they did not think for themselves or make long-term plans.

Those people had a common prefix.

Stupidity.

Zhu Xingguo was such an idiot.

“What a hopeless idiot.”

He definitely would not live more than two days outside.

Therefore, Wang Wen decided to keep that idiot by his side in case others bullied him.

The Invincibility Potion.

A 700th floor’s supreme treasure

After use, one would be immune to all damage and attacks from items below the 700th floor. It would last for an hour, and it was for one-time use only.

That was the choice that Wang Wen had made for Zhu Xingguo.

It was very important.

It was also the only item that literally had immunity to all damage.

However, it was a one-time-use item.

A supreme treasure with a one-time use meant that that item would only have one chance to appear.

It was important to plan its usage.

However, the improvement in his strength was obviously not as significant as that of Wang Wen and Ren Ruoruo.

It could even be argued that there was no improvement.

That was a form of sacrifice.

The only chance to get past the 700th floor is by sacrificing that tower climber.

He needed someone who did not care about his own gains and losses to get that Invincibility Potion.

Wang Wen might be able to bring some willing cannon fodder up to the 700th floor in the future.

Then he would make the cannon fodder choose that item.

But that was in the future.

He could not take it seriously before it happened.

No one knew when an obedient cannon fodder would appear.

Or was there really such a thing as willing cannon fodder?

He had to get the Invincibility Potion as soon as possible.

He would definitely be sorry if it were taken away by another tower climber who was not in control.

Zhu Xingguo.

He was the most suitable candidate.

Wang Wen patted his shoulder and said, “I’ll definitely bring you to the 1000th floor.”

Zhu Xingguo quickly pressed down on the Oath Scepter and stopped Wang Wen in panic, “Master, you’re still holding that thing, so don’t make any random vows! The 1000th floor? It’ll drain you!”

Wang Wen looked at him and smiled.

Ren Ruoruo rolled her eyes and said, “What a fool! That thing only works with specific words.”
