Chapter 255: Trust In Your Teammate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Weightlessness, lack of oxygen, cold, and internal and external pressure imbalance.

In an instant, Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo felt as if their bodies were on the verge of death.

The organs went from functional disorder to failure in less than five seconds.

The only good thing was that the temperature inside the space capsule was still warm.

It was only around 40 degrees.

That was great news for the three of them.

It meant that they would not lose consciousness from the cold.

Ren Ruoruo felt someone grab her arm.

Then a face appeared in front of him.

It was Wang Wen.

He pointed at his mouth and mouthed something.

Ren Ruoruo tried her best to read his mouth.

It looked like he was saying f*ck.

She was shocked.

Was the captain’s hobby so special?

He still had the mood to say such strange things in that life-and-death situation?

Wang Wen looked at her for a long time without any reaction.

She could not take it anymore.

He condensed his mental power and created a gold-colored character floating in the air.

They were ready to jump.

Ren Ruoruo finally managed to find the drone and use the special access.

They were about to skip the level.

The portal’s light illuminated the three of them.

Zhu Xingguo felt an invisible giant hand push him into the portal just as he was about to swim into it.

Light and darkness intertwined in front of his eyes.

[Tower climber Ah Yan had summoned the next entrance. The 660th floor has ended.]

He finally stepped on solid ground again.

Wang Wen and the other two were panting, coughing, and vomiting violently.

When they looked up and saw each other, they were a little dumbfounded.

Everyone’s face had a strange greenish-purple color. Their blood vessels looked as if they had erupted, and blood was oozing out of every pore on their skin. Many blood vessels also exploded in the whites of their eyes.

That was the first time the three had encountered such a dangerous situation since entering the tower.

Even when the State Preceptor chased them, they had not been seriously injured.

Even in such a critical situation, no one left the tower without permission.

The three of them trusted their teammates.

Zhu Xingguo believed that Wang Wen would not let him die in vain, and Wang Wen believed that Ren Ruoruo would jump out of the tower instead of leaving alone.

After that incident, the team’s cohesion did not decrease but increased, and there was a faint feeling that they would go through thick and thin together.

Ren Ruoruo, the professional tower climber, finally became less professional.

However, the thought of life and death sent chills down her spine and made her break out in a cold sweat.

She turned to look at the spot where the portal had disappeared and asked Wang Wen fearfully, “No wonder so many people were stuck on that floor. It’s impossible to clear the level except by skipping, right?”

Wang Wen recalled his past life experiences and shook his head. “It’s still possible.”

He thought for a moment and said, “For example, I met someone not long ago. You might have heard of him, Shen Rushuang. His body had been modified so that it would not be affected by low temperatures and weightlessness.”

Recalling Shen Rushuang’s half-human, half-ghost appearance, he said, “Perhaps the lack of oxygen is not a big problem.”

Zhu Xingguo was speechless. “There’s such a powerful person? Which floor is he on?”

Wang Wen laughed. “If he could get to the 600th floor, he might be able to do well at that kind of checkpoint just now. Regrettably, he died young. I think he died before he reached the 500th floor.”

“He’s dead?” Zhu Xingguo pouted regretfully. “That’s a pity. He had such a strong body, but he still died. He did not even reach the 500th floor? I’m curious about how he died and how he could be so careless.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity.” Wang Wen recalled what had happened that night and sighed.

The three relied on the Elixir of Life to slowly recover from their injuries.

The 661st floor could not be repaired with world energy points.

They could only grit their teeth and keep going until they reached the whole number level.

Fortunately, that layer was only time-consuming and labor-intensive for Wang Wen’s team.

The danger level was not too high.

With the presence of the two scientific decipherment masters, those traps had no way to hide; they were disintegrated into Zhu Xingguo’s food.

The 32-fold increase in overall quality made Zhu Xingguo as big as an ox. He could even carry things that weighed four or five tons.

The supplies at Fair Exchange had already piled like mountains.

At 8:00 p.m, they cleared the 670th floor.

At 9:30 p.m, the 680th floor was cleared.

At 11:00 p.m, the 690th floor was cleared.

At 11:56 p.m, the 698th floor was cleared.

There were only three minutes left.

The 699th floor was the special mechanism room.

There were all sorts of complicated and densely packed mechanisms all over the vast space that was tens of thousands of square meters in size. There were so many of them that there was almost no place to stand.

Zhu Xingguo rubbed his trousers in a dilemma. He knew their final goal was definitely the 700th floor, even without his master telling him so.

As he walked all the way there, he also wanted to see what kind of reward he would get.

Whether or not he could reach the 700th floor would depend on that level.

Before he stepped in, he was still hoping to encounter a speed mechanism that would allow him to clear the stage quickly.

In the end, they ran into such a crazy mechanism room.

His heart immediately turned cold.

Ren Ruoruo’s eyes flickered as she looked around. She shook her head helplessly and said, “That’s too much. There were thousands of mechanisms that were linked together. Even if I look at the answer and slowly dismantle it, it will take at least a few hours. We don’t have time.”

She turned around and looked at Wang Wen, whose eyes were closed. “Captain, can we come back next week? We’ll start at the 698th floor with your special privilege.”

Wang Wen opened his eyes.

A light pattern flashed in his eyes.

“Give me all the life-saving medicines except the supreme treasures,” he said, reaching out his hand to Zhu Xingguo.

Zhu Xingguo immediately started to purchase and said worriedly, “I might not have enough points. Can I just buy one of each?”

Wang Wen nodded.

Then he said to Ren Ruoruo, “Get ready for treatment. If you see that I can’t make it, you can attack directly. Activate your demon body first, then use your Light of Life. Don’t get killed.

“What do you want to do?” Ren Ruoruo was puzzled.

“I’d like to try,” Wang Wen said, turning to face the machine room and opening his arms; a surge of mental energy rolled forward.

The entire room shook.

All the mechanisms began to be dismantled automatically at the same time.

Wang Wen’s body trembled.

His face paled.

His skin shriveled visibly.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a dried-up corpse.

The teleportation gate had not appeared.

Wang Wen could not hold on any longer. He poured all kinds of medicinal pills that Zhu Xingguo had handed him in a panic into his mouth.

Unfortunately, his consciousness was still quickly disappearing.

He felt like he could go into shock at any moment.

A trace of regret flashed through Wang Wen’s mind. Did he have to wait for their next trip?

Oh, well.

He just had to wait for their next trip.

He gave up struggling.

He silently announced to the drone that they were leaving the tower.

However, at that moment…

A warm and gentle light enveloped his entire body.

The paleness and shriveling faded.

His skin gradually returned to its original plumpness.

Wang Wen looked at the teleportation gate that had just appeared in shock.

He heard Ren Ruoruo shouting, “Captain, what happened to you? It’s my first time using the demon form, so I’m a bit slow! Captain!”

His vision was replaced by white light.

The subsequent sounds were no longer audible.

Wang Wen had already arrived at the square outside the World Tower’s entrance by the time he could see clearly again.
