Returning From Level 900

313 The Maximum Speed Of A Human Climber

The level’s limit usually determined how fast an average person could climb a tower.

For those who had reached the 300th floor, climbing up the first 200 floors would take a week.

If a veteran had reached the 300th floor but always hung out on the first 200 floors, he could pass those lower levels faster.

It could be done in about four or five days.

!!

Then he would eat, drink, and have fun for a month on the trip’s proceeds.

If he had no money, he would enter the tower again.

The process would continuously be repeated.

He would never get tired of it.

The higher the level of the tower, the faster the speed.

For the top teams on the 600th floor, if they wanted to reach the 600th floor again, they had to complete the first 200 floors within one to two days.

Otherwise, there would not be enough time.

The first 200 floors would take about 10 to 15 minutes on average.

That was the maximum speed that humans could reach for the tower.

Cheng Qiaoyi’s background was not low.

Her family had a bit of money.

She had some understanding of the limits of human speed.

She did not pay much attention to the 9th floor when she first entered the tower.

After all, she was still in shock at the special privilege.

However, the 11th floor had also vanished in an instant.

Cheng Qiaoyi calculated the time it took for everyone to pass the lower levels.

She had many questions.

What was going on?

Was the mechanism room broken?

How did they even get started?

After that…

Her questions continued all the way to the 20th floor.

Nine normal floors.

Including the speed mechanism.

In the blink of an eye, she was already standing in front of another entrance.

[Average time for each level: 3 seconds.]

Cheng Qiaoyi could not understand and looked at Wang Wen with a puzzled expression.

“We still face some difficulty on the extreme floor,” Wang Wen explained to her patiently. “It’ll take some time.”

The checkpoint opened.

After about five minutes.

The progress was done, and the entrance to the next level appeared.

Cheng Qiaoyi was dumbfounded.

She tried her best to keep up with Wang Wen, trying to understand whether the so-called spending some time together was courtesy or modesty.

An hour later.

The group stood on the 99th floor.

It was not only Cheng Qiaoyi.

Mo Ran and Chen Hansheng were also a little dumbfounded.

Wang Wen helplessly explained to them, “We can’t do anything about this floor. Everyone, take a break.”

He was helpless.

The 99th floor was a complete waste of time. He might not make it to the 700th floor in time. If not for the 10 hours wasted on that floor, the first 200 floors could have been faster and might not even have taken a day; in the end, the difference would have been only a few seconds.

Even the academy’s textbooks mentioned that if it were not for the 100th floor, the best choice was to climb the tower after the 98th floor.

Wang Wen knew he would make it to the 100th floor, so all he could do was grit his teeth and wait.

The amount of energy needed to clear the level by swearing was greater than the sun.

He had already tested it on the 750th floor, using 10 percent of his energy to increase the level’s progress out of thin air, but the increase was only 0.1 point.

And, having just entered that floor, Wang Wen tried again, hoping for luck. With one-thousandth of the energy, the level’s countdown had only been reduced by three to four seconds, equivalent to one-thousandth of the progress.

If he wanted to do that by swearing, his total energy would have to increase by at least a hundred times.

Zhu Xingguo took out a table, chair, and sofa and set them on the ground for Wang Wen to sit and rest.

Then, they started to build the toilet and canteen.

Wang Wen closed his eyes to recover his energy.

Even though the recovery speed of a Level 7 physique was insufficient for the higher levels, it was more than adequate for the lower ones.

After all, the quick operation had only used one-thousandth of his energy.

Wang Wen became a little enamored with this kind of feeling.

The sensation of completing the level without expending any energy was overpowering.

It was like when he was weak and only had ten points of attack and had to deal ten blows to low-level monsters with 100 health points.

When they encountered a boss with more than 10,000 health points, they would have to use up all their resources to win.

He might fail and have to leave the tower if he was not careful.

And then…

The attack power had already risen to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands.

He used the same strategy to deal with all the lower-level monsters.

He looked behind him at the layers of barriers that were scattered like clouds and smoke.

It was an incredible sensation.

Wang Wen was delighted.

On the other hand, Cheng Qiaoyi…

She walked to Zhu Xingguo and the others, curious, and asked, “He reached the 90th floor in an hour. How is he climbing the tower so quickly? Didn’t the information say it would take an average of ten minutes to get to the first floor?”

Zhu Xingguo said happily, “The information is only about ordinary people. Every time Master entered the tower, he’d make another world record. It’s two different things.”

Mo Ran and Chen Hansheng did not take part in the discussion.

One of them was half-dead and in poor health.

The other was lost in thought and gasped in admiration.

Chen Hansheng said to Mo Ran, who was lying on the cushion and rolling his eyes, “In less than six days, I’ve gained 200 billion points. It’s more than I expected. This kind of money-making speed is simply terrifying!”

Mo Ran remained motionless. He rolled his eyes and refused to say anything.

He pondered.

Of course, it was.

He was the one who killed two million cockroaches in one breath!

‘I’ll never climb the tower with Wang Wen again!’

It was simply not a job for humans!

The ten hours were up.

The 99th floor was cleared.

Zhu Xingguo packed up his things and followed the group to the entrance.

After ten hours of rest, Wang Wen had not only recovered all the energy he had used up, but he had also replenished 18 percent more.

His total energy had returned to 70 percent, including the energy he had recovered from resting outside the tower.

That was a helpless fact.

It took an average of 55 hours to recover 10 percent.

He was concerned that his energy would be insufficient until his entire body was strengthened to a higher level.

He had hoped to cross the 800th-floor threshold the previous week.

In the end, they retreated after reaching the 750th floor.

The consumption of higher floors was excessive, and progress was difficult if the recovery rate could not keep up.

All of them had Level 8 or even Level 9 physiques and transcendent skills in his previous life, but they still made mistakes from time to time. Wang Wen wanted to rely solely on himself in his new life. Even if he reached the Broken Might level for all five elements, it would still be difficult if his physique was still at Level 7.

It was not that he did not consider using all of the consortium’s funds to upgrade himself to Level 9.

However, when he considered the chaos outside and the fact that he would have to clean it up himself, he became concerned.

The Square Formation’s profits were already in his hands, but Wang Wen was not as surprised as Chen Hansheng.

He was even a little dissatisfied.

Only 200 billion for each entry.

Still too slow!

Ten trillion in a year?

Slow! It was too slow!

Was there any other faster way to earn money?

Wang Wen thought about it as he cleared the 100th floor.

Suddenly, he thought of the Persuasion Level he had experienced in his new life.

That special checkpoint seemed to be quite valuable.

Wang Wen decided to try it out next week.

It was 1 a.m. on Sunday.

The 200th floor was cleared.
