Chapter 162: The Big Boss And The Rookie
Some people would be overjoyed when someone mentioned Broken Might.
Some people were excited about it.
Some admired it.
However, Broken Might had become Mo Ran’s inverse scale. When he heard about it, he would become enraged.
He realized early on that he had become a master, but it was still difficult for him to break through that.
Those people around him who were not as strong as him and were at lower levels than he had achieved Broken Might.
There was even a crazy person who broke through that continuously.
Nonetheless, he refused to give up. He even wanted to know how to get past the Broken Might level.
How would one achieve Broken Might in physical combat?
Would he be able to endure it?
As he exited the restaurant, Mo Ran nearly stomped on the floor and smashed the door.
The round robot rolled up to the stunned Wang Wen and opened a list.
[It is 3,300 points for wooden tiles.]
[And 1,100 points for the paint job.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[Another 1,1888 points for the glass door.]
The other hardware parts were worth 1,200 points.
“What are you doing?” Wang Wen asked, looking at the list.
“Of course, you have to pay for your friend’s willfulness,” the robot said innocently in a sweet child’s voice.
Wang Wen regarded the sum with sadness. His temper was out of control. “Go find out who broke it! I don’t even know who that person is!”
The robot had his heart set on it. It simply scrolled through the list without stopping.
“I am not going to pay for him,” Wang Wen exclaimed angrily. “What can you do about it?”
“I can’t do anything to you,” the robot said innocently. “I can only send your information to all major restaurants to remind everyone to be cautious of dangerous people. You must be cautious when eating out in the future. Cockroaches, flies, rats, sewage, and other things that are not so obvious.”
One of the Tiansheng Group’s old monsters appeared in front of Wang Wen. He gave the robot a thumbs up with a pale face.
Wang Wen quickly paid the bill.
He took off from the restaurant.
When he returned to his newly purchased home, the security room at the entrance had been thoroughly cleaned.
No one dared to say anything when Wang Wen passed by.
He smiled and greeted them as if nothing had happened.
The new house was beautifully decorated.
Everything else was taken care of except the large furniture. Wang Wen could move in immediately if he did not mind sleeping on the hard floor.
Wang Wen turned off the main power and pulled a few wires inside the door. He cleverly constructed a trap by tying the wires to the door frame. If someone opened the door, they would be electrocuted to death.
After restoring the switch and looking at the seemingly flawless trap, he nodded satisfactorily.
He stole a few more shell casings containing a high concentration of mental energy poison and used a chain trigger to cover all kinds of windows, exhaust holes, and other entrances and exits. He guaranteed that as long as the trap was not removed, the person would be poisoned if they opened any of the windows.
Finally, he carefully selected the most inconspicuous but lethal relics from that day’s harvest and placed them in every blind spot. He guaranteed that if the traps were not removed in the future, any intruder would be blown to their death if they triggered it.
After completing all of that, Wang Wen went to the bathroom to shower. He had been sweating profusely. He cautiously returned to his bedroom and lay down at the widest point in his field of vision. On the one hand, he missed the World Tower’s safe and comfortable environment. On the other hand, he needed some rest.
The next day, around lunchtime, Wang Wen solemnly shut the doors and windows and left the neighborhood.
Zhang Wei and Zhang Lanlan finally made a reservation at a restaurant and invited everyone to dinner.
They set a very high standard for that round to express their sincerity and gratitude. The Season Hotel, located in District 2, was one of the most luxurious hotels in that region. It happened to be a significant revenue for the First Consortium. There was food, entertainment, and lodging available.
Zhang Lanlan stated that the two spent more than 100,000 points to book the hotel’s largest room to get good service without being bothered by other guests.
Wang Wen did not want to walk, so he took a taxi to the Season Hotel.
After a few minutes, he encountered Ren Ruoruo, who was riding a horse, and Zhu Xingguo, who was with a driver.
Zhu Xingguo was delighted to see his master. He remained with Wang Wen and told him quietly what had happened when he used the mechanism technique.
Ren Ruoruo noticed Wang Wen and said, “Captain, I asked my friends who are familiar with the trade. They described the pill’s effect as average, basically comparable to candy.”
Wang Wen turned to face her. “Did your friends tell you how much money they could get for it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRen Ruoruo studied Wang Wen’s expression and hesitantly said, “They said about 3,000 points.”
“You are right! It is 3,000 points per pill!” Wang Wen had a sad and regretful expression as he looked at Ren Ruoruo. “What kind of candy can earn you 3,000 points? How much money can you make from a trip to the World Tower before meeting me?”
Ren Ruoruo quickly apologized. “Sorry, Captain, I understand. I received more than 10,000,000 points last time, so I was disoriented and forgot how it was before that.”
Wang Wen gave a satisfied nod and secretly sighed with relief.
The three of them’s relationship returned to normal. They chatted and laughed as they followed an attendant into Zhang Lanlan’s private room.
They noticed smoke inside the private room as soon as they opened the door.
Aside from the Zhangs, there were three new faces in the room.
They were speaking while holding cigars in their hands. When they saw the door open, they paused their conversation and stuffed the cigars into their mouths, observing Wang Wen and the other two through the smoke.
Zhang Wei and Zhang Lanlan stood up and smiled as they welcomed them.
“We are finally meeting everyone again, Captain Wang.” Zhang Lanlan grabbed Ren Ruoruo’s arm as she made an intimate gesture.
Zhang Wei extended his hand to the table’s side and led them forward. “Captain Wang, long time no see.” He enthusiastically introduced Wang Wen to the others. “It was fate that brought us together. These few happened to be teammates we had previously met. They are not like us, low-level tower climbers. They are not ordinary people. They are amazing people who have reached more than 200 floors! This is Captain He who has already reached 300 floors! It is rare for us to be invited to today’s meal. Let’s get to know each other better!”
When Wang Wen heard that, he turned around and asked Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, “Did you two tell them which floor we came out of?”
Zhu Xingguo shook his head, perplexed.
“I thought you guys had already mentioned it,” Ren Ruoruo said helplessly, covering her brow. “I was not the driving force behind the previous tower ascent. I apologize for continuing to brag about it.
Wang Wen was at a loss for words. “That’s fantastic. They treat us as rookies to support the big boss’ smelly feet.
On the other hand, Zhang Wei noticed Wang Wen and the others talking with their heads bowed. He quickly approached Captain He and smiled adoringly. “Captain He, they are the few amazing people I mentioned earlier who could quickly pass through the 69th floor’s gas chamber.”
“Pfft.” The two men on the left and right laughed. “You are talking like no one can get through the 69th floor.”
Captain He crossed his legs and fiddled with his cigar. He gave Wang Wen and the other two expressionless stares. “Be polite. After all, it was the level with the Life Harvester. They must have some ability to pass through quickly. Let them sit here.”
