Chapter 49: A Simple Life
Qin Wuzheng gave Wang Wen an odd look. “Do you know what happens after I leave the tower at this point? You are willing to dismiss the Tiansheng Group’s good intentions. Don’t tell me you have never heard of the Tiansheng Group.”
Wang Wen said indifferently, “I know. They’re the second best in the world.”
Qin Wuzheng’s brow furrowed. “When I take over the Tiansheng Group, it will become the number one!” he declared as if swearing an oath.
“I wish you all the best.” Wang Wen nodded and turned around to walk toward the villa.
“Aren’t you going out of the tower together?” Qin Wuzheng asked him in puzzlement.
Wang Wen’s footsteps did not stop. “You’re getting out of the tower. It’s such a waste to leave such a good villa empty. I’ll stay here for a few days to experience it.”
Qin Wuzheng shrugged his shoulders, unconcerned. He dropped a hint. “Every weekend, this place refreshes at midnight. The food is in the refrigerator, the wine is in the cellar, the guardrail control switch is in the study, and the hunting rifle bullets are also in the study. Even though it is not a prop that can be taken out of the tower, it is still useful in the tower.”
Wang Wen did not turn around as he waved his hand. He hastened his steps impatiently.
If it were not for the other party’s reminder, he did not know that that old-looking small villa had a cellar and wine!
His footsteps almost turned into a trot in the end.
He rushed into the cellar, carrying the wind and anticipation with him. He was overjoyed by the several rows of wine racks and the neatly placed round wooden wine barrels on the ground.
Wang Wen walked out of the villa with the wine glass in his hand, ready to have a small drink with the Tiansheng Group’s young master as a farewell. The other party had been gone from the tower for quite some time.
Wang Wen licked a small pinch of salt between his thumb and forefinger as he gazed at the setting sun at the end of the road. Then he gulped down the wine in his glass.
…
Qin Wuzheng had only been back at the Tiansheng Group for a few hours.
As the Tiansheng Group’s eldest son, he could not leave the tower unattended. Even after a half-year stay in the villa, he felt very safe. His subordinates had arranged for a group of doctors to check on him before they gave up.
He knew that the group and the academy were at war, so he did not express any opinions. He went to the CEO’s office on the second-to-last floor of the group’s building.
After opening the door and entering the room, he walked to the closet and picked up the tea can on the second-to-last floor. He grabbed the tea and placed it in an ordinary transparent cup for guests. Then, he soaked it in pure water heated to 88 degrees Celsius.
He only sat on the sofa with the cup in his hand after that. He sighed and took a sip. Then, he raised his head. “I have been considering that for a long time.”
The middle-aged man who had been standing silently in front of the office’s French window turned to face him. “Is staying at home still preferable?”
“I believe it is still preferable to remain in the human world.” Qin Wuzheng sat back and watched the tea dance in the glass.
The middle-aged man walked to the office table and put the glass in his hand down on the table. He asked, “What do you think about Xiao Dong sending the Mirror to wreak havoc in the academy?”
Qin Wuzheng shook his head. “Kids play.”
“What do you mean?” The middle-aged man looked at him meaningfully. “The two of you were only one year apart. He’s not a kid, so you’re also not a kid anymore. ”
Qin Wuzheng blew on the tea and drank a few mouthfuls.
He gently chewed on the tea leaves that he had accidentally drunk.
After a while, he said, “None of that is important. I’ve seen a lot in the past six months, and I’ve thought a lot about it. The most important thing now is that we must start the summit plan as soon as possible! Gather all our resources and charge to the 650th floor and above!”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, “I thought you would change after six months of meditation. I did not expect you to still be so radical. I’ve said many times that reaching the summit would make the foundation of the group unstable and cause huge losses.”
Qin Wuzheng put down his teacup and said, “Dad, you always think that I’m radical and always want to build up my foundation before fighting.” But have you ever thought about our opponents improving? How will the Tiansheng Group overtake the First Consortium if we do not change?”
“There are many ways.” The middle-aged man smiled indifferently. “For example, your brother’s games.”
Qin Wuzheng’s expression froze. “Dad, do you think that you can slow down the pace of the First Consortium just by relying on those small games?” The only way to defeat them was by reaching the top ahead of time! Only by breaking the World Tower record before them can we truly overtake them!”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “There were only two ways to surpass our opponents. Either we speed up, or our opponents slow down. I think that the method you’re talking about was very risky. If we fail to reach the top, we’ll be significantly weakened. We won’t even be able to hold on to our position as the second. Therefore, I’m more inclined toward your brother’s method of slowing our opponents.”
He poured wine into his glass again and returned to the floor-to-ceiling window. Without looking back, he said, “You can go out. Get along with your brother, and I won’t mistreat you.”
Qin Wuzheng stayed on the sofa for a long time.
He had been in seclusion in the tower for half a year and had thought of countless ways to reach the top.
He thought that once he left the tower, he would be able to start reaching the top and then gradually approach and even surpass the First Consortium.
He did not expect that.
He did not use any of them.
Qin Wuzheng smiled bitterly.
Without his father’s permission, his own strength was insufficient to sustain the consumption of reaching the top.
The plan to reach the summit was successfully thwarted.
He drank the tea slowly, one mouthful at a time.
He set the teacup down, stood up, and exited the boss’s office.
…
The days on the tenth floor were simple, unadorned, and boring.
In the morning, Wang Wen woke up naturally and took a shower.
Then he went out for a morning run on the endless road.
When he felt active, he began to do strength training.
He did it until he was exhausted and then walked back along the straight road.
When he saw the pile of dead people, he went home.
The pile of dead people had begun to rot, and big flies were eating and laying eggs on it for a party.
Wang Wen walked from the open guardrail to the front of the villa, away from the flies’ party.
He removed the hunting rifle and held it in his hand. He walked around the villa, noting the few entrances and exits and the hidden marks he left were all still there.
Only then did he enter the villa quietly.
He did not put the hunting rifle down until he could check that everything was okay.
Then, he put down the hunting rifle in his hand.
Strange places were naturally conservative, and who knows when unlucky tower climbers would be in the same situation.
There would always be some weird monsters out there.
‘Perhaps the dead bikers would stumble to their feet toward us?’
There were a lot of birds in the woods.
The World Tower’s ever-changing reputation was not for nothing.
Wang Wen closed the villa’s guardrail.
He went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. They were all very western-style ingredients.
He took out some cod meat, melted the butter in a pan, and fried the fish.
He baked two pieces of bread.
He turned those into cod sandwiches.
It was not a 5-star hotel.
With heated milk, a not-so-sumptuous breakfast was served.
He sat at the dining table and ate while thinking about the next step of the plan.
It was pointless to leave the tower at that time.
He had forgotten to include the necessary tool in the plan.
Even if he left the tower, he would simply switch locations and wait for the World Tower to reset.
That period was a waste of time.
He had intended to find a slightly safer place to recuperate in the tower.
He had used his spiritual power a few days before, and his body was a little drained.
Fighting was not a training exercise.
Their spiritual power enhancement was minimal.
Other climbers who had not reached the master level might need to stimulate their potential through various battles to boost their spiritual power.
Wang Wen did not need it at all.
He preferred methodical training over meaningless battle wear and tear.
He knew how to get back to his best form.
In that life, he would not have to take a detour, so his progress should be much faster than in his previous life.
Wang Wen, who was sitting at the dining table, finished his breakfast.
Then he walked into the kitchen.
He carefully prepared the ingredients for lunch.
It was a happy decision!
He had a good lunch.
It was a hot pot lunch!
