Many people have dreamed of owning mountains of gold and silver in their home and living a happy and wealthy life from then on.
Wu Xiangwang also had such a simple and beautiful wish when he was a child. Although his money could be converted into gold bricks and piled up into a small mountain when he grew up, there is still a big gap between piling up a gold mountain and actually owning a gold mountain. He still retains the beautiful dream of his childhood.
But now, he felt that his childhood thoughts were too naive. Mountains of gold and silver are good, but if these mountains of gold and silver are to press down on you like a mudslide, they are no longer mountains of gold and silver but a "Mount Tai" that is so heavy that it is fatal.
In reality, the first floor of this treasure tower didn't have any traps or mechanisms, just a few piles of gold coins. But for an ordinary person without special abilities, strong physique, or agility, a five-meter-high mountain of gold falling from all directions could literally bury someone alive.
Moreover, Wu Xiangwang suddenly turned sideways to avoid an energy gold coin that brushed past the right side of his head. After seeing the appearance of the energy gold coin clearly, he couldn't help but curse.
Is this still an energy coin?! The word "coin" can no longer be used to describe this coin. It's as big as an Olympic medal and as thick as a brick. So this isn't an energy coin. This is an "energy brick" that can crack a person's head and knock them unconscious if swung!
Let me ask you, can you withstand the rain of gold bricks falling on your head from all directions?
Wu Xiangwang had just dodged a thick round gold brick that was about to hit his right head when seven or eight more fist-sized gold bricks came crashing down from his left and diagonally in front of him.
Just by listening to the sound of the bricks breaking through the air, you can tell how heavy these gold bricks are and how painful it would be if they hit your head.
Unfortunately, the road under Wu Xiangwang's feet was quickly flooded by energy coins and gold bricks of various sizes, and he had no place to stand as soon as he raised his foot.
If you react slowly and take a step, you will be tripped and buried by the mountain of gold.
Wu Xiangwang hissed. This was the simplest and most brutal way to kill someone, but it was indeed very effective.
If he was still in a state where his abilities were completely restricted, he wouldn't even be able to pass the first level of the treasure house.
But now! He was the awesome Wangwang who had gnawed a hole in the chains of fate!
Want to kill him with gold coins? No way!
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang suddenly mobilized the energy in his body to impact the golden photo in his sea of consciousness, and quickly chose to activate the powerful talent skill of Mengwu Qiang!
Of course, he didn't intend to chew all these energy coins as energy. He used the powerful ability of [Speed King].
As long as I run fast enough, no danger can catch up to me! This is the ability I need most when facing the harsh blows of fate!
Even if you are carrying a forty-meter-long sword, as long as I can jump out forty-one meters in an instant, you won't be able to hit me!
The moment he activated his ability, Wu Xiangwang's originally heavy body became light, and his legs and limbs suddenly burst out with strength, carrying him directly to the innermost stairs of the first floor of the treasure tower amidst the falling gold coins and gold bricks.
The gold mountain fell down at a very fast speed, and Wu Xiangwang ran fast enough. It was all a matter of a split second, but Wu Xiangwang still couldn't completely escape the gold coins that fell towards him. His chin, shoulders, and back were hit several times.
Although he was hit so hard that he was grimacing in pain, he finally escaped the fate of being buried alive.
And... after escaping, you can reap the spoils!
Look at this layer of energy coins that can blind him! What are you hesitating about? Just eat it!
Wu Xiangwang grabbed a round, thick energy brick, put it to his mouth and took a big bite.
The ability [Everything is edible!] was activated, and the energy brick felt like a chocolate-flavored cookie in his mouth.
The taste is okay, but it feels a bit too strong and sweet, a bit choking.
And to be honest, the energy possessed by energy coins and gold bricks is still far less than that of energy gems and cores. Wu Xiangwang casually picked up a piece of energy coins and tried them in front of himself. He found that the smallest energy coin could be chewed in his mouth, and the more intelligent it was, the more energy point it could make.
The larger ones can be transformed into 2 points and 3 points, while the thick energy blocks like bricks can only increase the energy value by 5 points after eating.
Wu Xiangwang grabbed another handful of energy coins and stuffed them into his mouth with a bit of sadness. Looking at the numbers 9899/80000 on the photo of the golden fusion beast imprisoned in his sea of consciousness, he felt that if he wanted to use these energy coins to upgrade the beast's skills, he would probably have to eat continuously until this layer was empty.
Wu Xiangwang: "..." Although he had the intention, he was really powerless.
Even if you have a huge sweet tooth, facing a room full of saccharine-rich chocolate cookies would be overwhelming, right?
Not to mention that he actually doesn't like sweets very much and is not a big eater.
"belch."
Wu Xiangwang burped sweetly, holding his stomach with a green expression.
Okay, let’s stop eating energy and go take a look upstairs first.
Anyway, the stored food on the first floor won't run away, so it would be a good idea to go upstairs and see if there is anything I can do to consume energy.
From the outside, this tower has a total of nine floors. The first floor is full of energy gold coins. What treasures will be on the second floor?
The best ones would be energy gems. If there were piles of energy gems, then he wouldn't have to hold his stomach and sigh at the mountain of energy. A level 4 energy gem has 1,000 energy, and he can upgrade by eating dozens of them!
With this thought in mind, Wu Xiangwang stepped onto the stairs with full confidence.
As he stepped on the stairs, the old monster ferrying people outside, the two monster guarding the treasure tower, and the monsters passing by the central lake of the City of Destiny all looked towards the tall pagoda as if they were sensing something.
"Hey, has a human entered the treasure tower again?"
"It should be. Look, the first floor of the pagoda is lighting up! Doesn't this mean that the human has passed the first floor?"
"Ha! Another brave and capable adventurer has emerged from among humans. He even dared to enter the Tower of Gifts. But why didn't he come out after passing the first floor? Wouldn't taking any item from the first floor be considered a success?"
"Hehehe, then you've underestimated human greed and desire! If you successfully pass the first level, don't you want to go to the second level to take a look? That's a treasure tower! Maybe just taking out one of the treasures inside is enough for us to directly advance to the Great Weirdness!"
"Humans are even greedier than we are!"
Old Weird sat on the boat, squinting his eyes and puffing on his pipe. "Oh, this kid has some skills and luck."
I passed the first level of the pagoda so quickly.
Crouching next to him was the innkeeper Snail Weird, who had followed him in at some point. When Snail Weird saw the first floor of the pagoda light up, his reaction was the biggest and most unacceptable.
"Bah! He just got lucky! I don't believe he can pass the second level of the pagoda! He is definitely a worthless man! He is definitely not the chosen one!"
The old weirdo couldn't help rolling his eyes as he looked at the two tentacles and eyes flailing around on the snail's head. This snail might have absorbed too many weird human memories and read some weird novels and TV dramas in human memories, so it must have been ruined.
No matter how you look at it, he seems to be getting less and less intelligent.
He looked at the quiet second-floor pagoda without saying a word, with a vague sense of unease in his heart.
He really hoped that the boy was just lucky.
The lucky guy is going upstairs.
He paused for three seconds every time he climbed a step to observe whether there was any sudden danger around him.
However, no danger appeared until he stood at the entrance to the second floor. At this time, he was standing on the last step of the stairs and could clearly see the environment in the treasure tower on the second floor.
He widened his eyes slightly.
This was not what he expected.
There are no shiny energy gems on this floor, but a whole floor of golden treasure chests.
Obviously, the treasure in this treasure chest is more valuable than the energy coins below, otherwise it would not be placed in the treasure chest alone.
But problems also arise. These treasure chests are closed, and no one knows what is inside the chests until they are opened.
Who says that there must be treasures in the treasure chest?
There could be a monster in the box that can kill people.
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows, so this was another choice that depended on luck.
But it seems like you are relying on luck, but who knows if that is really your luck?
Wu Xiangwang didn't think twice and planned to repeat his old trick and rushed directly to the spiral staircase leading to the third floor opposite.
As a result, he had just taken a step when he was blocked by an invisible barrier at the position of the first row of treasure chests.
No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't break through this invisible barrier. Wu Xiangwang knew that it was fate that made him choose to open the box and play.
If you want to walk from here to the other side, even the shortest straight-line distance requires opening ten boxes in a row.
Who knows what will come out of these ten boxes?
Wu Xiangwang sneered and said, "Just open it. Am I afraid of you?"
He is the king of speed that no one can catch up with!
Wu Xiangwang looked at the large golden box that was one meter long and wide for a moment, opened the box in one second and teleported to the side at the same time.
Swish, swish, swish!
Sure enough, the moment the box was opened, more than a dozen black poisonous arrows shot out from the box. If Wu Xiangwang had not run fast, he would have been shot into a little hedgehog.
Wu Xiangwang curled his lips.
Although he knew that fate would inevitably treat him unfairly in this tower and that good luck was out of the question, was it really okay for the first chest to be so poisonous? If the first chest contained a dozen black poison arrows, would the second, third, and fourth chests evolve into caltrops or pear blossom needles?
But no matter how much I complain, if I want to go upstairs I have to pass through this place full of boxes.
So Wu Xiangwang opened the second, third and fourth boxes as quickly as possible.
From the initial anticipation to the expressionless face when opening the fourth box.
very good.
A strange poisonous snake ran out of the second box, and he quickly grabbed its vital point and threw it out.
The third box spewed out purple poisonous gas. He felt dizzy at first, but after getting used to it, he gathered the poisonous gas with his hands and brought it to his mouth, swallowing the purple poisonous gas directly into his stomach.
After it turns into energy, it will naturally detoxify.
The fourth box contained small needles shaped like cow hairs with a longer shooting range and stronger effects. Wu Xiangwang decisively used the lid of the third box to block it in front of him, thus escaping the death fate of being pierced like a sieve.
When he opened the fourth box, Wu Xiangwang felt a little tired.
Before this, he didn't think of himself as unlucky at all. Even if he was not the European Emperor, he was definitely not an African chief.
But it is obvious that in this tower of gift from fate, he is as dark as can be.
All four of them were traps or something, so he had to chew on a treasure chest to calm his nerves.
Hmm, this golden treasure chest tastes... a bit like salty rice crust. But you can only smack it in your mouth, and the energy consumption is completely negligible.
He stayed where he was and ate the third and fourth treasure chests in front of him. Then he stood up and looked at the fifth treasure chest.
There is no need to waste any more time. Just open the six treasure chests at the back at once. As long as he is fast enough, the mechanisms in the treasure chests will not be able to catch up with him!
So, swish, swish, swish, swish, Wu Xiangwang opened five boxes with his powerful flashing speed.
Wu Xiangwang was already prepared to deal with the strange monster that jumped out of the box, and he ran very fast when opening the box.
As a result, when I ran to the last box, the five boxes in front of me didn't make any unusual sounds.
Don't forget to blink.
Could it be that good times are coming after bad times?
The ultimate black is white?
It has to be the ultimate to be European?
He turned to look at the ninth box, wow~
There are actually three sturdy, beautiful and gorgeous cloaks in this box!
Wu Xiangwang took the three cloaks in his hands, weighed them, and felt the energy of the three cloaks slightly. They were definitely good cloaks that had reached the sixth level of equipment!
Take it!
Wu Xiangwang held the cloak in his arms and went to look at the eighth box.
Inside are three pairs of super cool shoes with little wings of different colors embedded on the heels!
Wu Xiangwang seemed to understand something when he saw this. He looked forward and saw that the seventh box contained three pairs of pants, the sixth box contained three tops, and the fifth box contained a hat, a pair of glasses, and a decorative earring.
Obviously, the five boxes from five to nine contained three complete sets of high-level equipment of different styles. If one could wear these complete sets of clothing, the five pieces of level six equipment would definitely reach the defense and usability of level seven equipment.
Wu Xiangwang looked at the contents of the five large boxes and finally couldn't help but smile, "This can barely be considered a gift from fate."
But as expected, the gifts of fate always come with traps and hidden costs—
These are clearly three sets of clothes that are fully equipped from head to toe, but the beauty mission only allows you to take away "one" treasure.
The cloak, shoes, tops, pants and decorations are all great. There are so many treasures in front of you, but you can only take one away. How are you going to choose?
No matter which one you choose, it will be heartbreaking.
It felt like losing 100 million!
Wu Xiangwang focused on the box with the cloak with a confused look on his face. Finally, he looked up and down and left and right. Although he knew that there was no monster watching him here, people who wanted to do something small always felt a little guilty.
He quickly switched to his beast ability, activated the snail shell hut, and reached out to stuff the three cloaks into the snail shell hut.
Well, although he was required to take only one treasure, his hand just slipped for a moment.
If he was discovered, he would apologize sincerely and take out the other two cloaks. I believe that as long as he ran fast, he would not be... hunted down, right?
If we weren't discovered... wouldn't that be a profit?
Wu Xiangwang stuffed his cloak into his snail shell hut, then turned around to look at the last big golden treasure chest.
This is the last treasure chest in this row. According to the "last law", either a big treasure or a big monster will appear.
But don't forget to lean towards the latter.
After all, it is a gift from fate.
If you accept a gift, you must pay the corresponding price.
Wu Xiangwang took a deep breath and reached out to open the last golden treasure chest.
Then, hundreds of strange, large, poisonous mosquitoes, making buzzing sounds, rushed out from the treasure chest!
Each of these mosquitoes had two straws, and they began to suck Wu Xiangwang's blood and vitality ferociously and quickly.
Wu Xiangwang was also frightened at first by the strange mosquito flying towards him. It was not because of fear, but because his claustrophobia was forced to strike again.
But after he realized it, he was no longer afraid.
I even wondered whether to turn into a chameleon and swallow these mosquitoes, or use the powerful "Everything Can Be Eaten" to eat these mosquitoes, or directly use the Aedes albopictus to suck the blood out of these mosquitoes.
Ah, he has many ways to deal with mosquitoes.
Then, those strange mosquitoes that were already lying on Wu Xiangwang and whose straws were already stuck to Wu Xiangwang's arms suddenly felt a shock of fear from the top of their heads to the tips of their tails. The straws that had been rubbed to sharp points did not have the courage to penetrate this human's body. Finally... when this human raised his hand, all the mosquitoes dispersed with a buzzing sound at the same time.
Danger danger danger danger!!
You can’t smoke, you can’t smoke! You’ll die if you smoke!
So, Wangwang, who was supposed to be sucked dry, stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor surrounded by strange mosquitoes after the last box was opened.
At this time, only three hours had passed since he entered the treasure tower.
Well, it's almost time for lunch.
So, what treasures will be on the third floor?
At this time, the corner gems on the second floor of the treasure tower also lit up.
The weird snail boss who had been staring at the movements of the treasure tower shouted "Impossible" at the first moment!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! Did that human make it through the second level of the pagoda again?! The second level is the treasure chest of destiny! To pass through the second city, at least ten treasure chests must be opened. There's at least a 50% chance, or even greater, that that human will face death!"
"Can he survive like this?!"
Snail's eyes widened strangely, "Isn't he just a weak but ordinary human? Is he one of those pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?!"
The old man's head hurt from the snail's weird roar. He tapped the snail's weird shell with his pipe and said, "Shut up and stop making noise. It's annoying to listen to."
"Why are you so nervous and excited? It's not like there haven't been people who have made it to the second floor of the castle tower before! Didn't the luckiest human hero make it to the fifth floor?"
"That human has only reached the third level, and he might already be covered in wounds and exhausted.
It's just that his greed and obsession were too strong, so he had to go upstairs to take a look."
When Old Weird said this, his four-cornered eyes narrowed. "What are you worried about? Even the lucky ones chosen by heaven cannot escape this tower of destiny."
Wasn't the last human supposedly blessed with 100% luck? But what happened? Didn't he still die on the fifth floor?
Human desires are endless. As long as a person climbing the tower doesn't know how to give up, as long as he wants to climb one floor after another, his ultimate destination will inevitably be death.
"Look, that human has already lit up the first level, and then the second level. The greed and desire in his heart have already been revealed, and he will continue to move forward."
"And as he climbs higher, the pressure of fate grows stronger. This continues until there's no chance of survival left, and his death is certain."
The snail looked at the treasure tower with strange eyes and asked pitifully, "Really? So, that human is definitely going to die, right?"
The old weirdo nodded firmly: "Of course! He must be at the end of his rope now. He will definitely not make it past the third level!"
The snail boss' eyes were full of longing as he looked towards the third floor of the pagoda.
Then, He watched as the third floor of the pagoda lit up.
Snail is weird: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The old weirdo who just saw the third floor light up: "..."
Damn.
This slap in the face was a bit too quick.
"Don't scream! You've never seen the world! The third level is a mental torture. How could a human like that have a heart? But the fourth level is different! The fourth level is an endless maze. He will definitely not be able to get out of it!!"
Hope once again filled the snail's strange eyes. He turned his tentacles and stared intently at the fourth floor, praying frantically in his heart:
Oh, fate! Open your eyes and look at this little loser who wants to show off all the time!
Hurry up and give him a beating from fate! Let that human fall in your hands!
If he dies, Xin Gui is willing to offer his memory and wisdom!
The snail's strange and particularly pious prayer.
Fifteen minutes later, He received the answer from fate—
The fourth floor of the pagoda also lit up.
Snail is weird: "!!!"
Why did fate answer him like this! Why did fate favor that little loser!
This time, even the old man smoking a pipe was a little confused.
He blinked and tapped his pipe.
“…Fuck.”
This kid really has the potential to become a force king... huh?!
The old weirdo was also a little panicked, and the expressions of the other weirdos who had been paying attention to the treasure tower were not much different from those of the snail weirdo.
Snail Weird looked at Old Weird with tears in his eyes, and Old Weird's scalp went numb:
"Don't worry! Even if he can pass the third and fourth levels, he definitely won't be able to pass the fifth level! That's the limit of human beings! No one can pass the fifth level of fate judgment!
After all, the fifth level is the Shadow of the Enemy!"
"A human like that must have provoked countless powerful monsters along the way! If they all gathered together, even if that person had nine lives, they would die!"
"So believe me! That person will never make it past the fifth level!"
At this time, Wu Xiangwang was standing in the middle of the fifth floor of the treasure tower. Looking at the six deadly monsters neatly arranged around him, he felt a little numb.
Aren’t these the mayors and acting mayors of the six cities who were deceived by him...?
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, human? I, Jax, can come back to kill you! This time I will definitely kill you!"
"Xiangxiang!! Xiangxiang, why did you betray me? When you pushed me out of the car in the heavy rain, didn't your conscience hurt?!"
"You promised to be my city lord's husband, my dear, but you ran away. Have you figured out what to do? Get away, you wild dog! Try to touch him before I get an answer."
"...I'm so annoyed. Just ignore me."
"My beauty contest is gone, my century of hard work is gone. Have you thought about how you're going to die?"
"Give me back my corrupted eye!!!"
Don’t forget each other: “.”
What the hell is this Shura field.
At this moment, he really wanted to die.
