Perhaps because he couldn't get a room from Mo Shuwan, the young man's expression turned unpleasant, and he snorted coldly, "Then I'll wait and see. I hope you won't regret it."
Mo Shuwan smiled and continued climbing, ignoring the young man.
Each step of these stairs held immense pressure. When Mo Shuwan finally reached the second floor, she was drenched in sweat as if she had just emerged from water. Panting, she sat down on the steps, turned to look at Wen Zuo, who was at about the same level as her, and asked breathlessly, "How are you feeling?"
Hearing her voice, Wen Zuo, who was still climbing, stopped. "It's alright. Although my strength recovers slowly each time I rest, my fatigue is also reduced a lot."
Feeling that her strength had almost recovered, Mo Shuwan stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she said in a low voice, "I suspect that this staircase can enhance our strength."
Liu Dongcheng, on the other side, also stopped. "What do you mean?"
As Mo Shuwan tried to step onto the next step, she said, "Now we can probably guess why we got on the bus. This so-called Time Bus Selection Competition is probably related to the changes we encountered in our last mission world. If the purpose of this competition is to select warriors to fight against those enemies, then they shouldn't be blocking us here."
Wen Zuo nodded. "Those passengers who wanted to change rooms should have also realized the benefits of the stairs."
but……
Mo Shuwan looked up and could hardly see the top. When she was choosing the room, she had glanced at it and there were fifty floors in total. The sixteenth floor they chose was actually in a relatively low-to-mid location. She wondered what it would be like up there.
"Let's keep going. We still don't know how the competition will start. Let's get to the room as soon as possible and see what's going on."
"Um."
At this moment, apart from Mo Shuwan and the other two being in roughly the same position, Yun Chen and Cheng Hua had already reached the third floor and were taking a break, while Chen Jiaxu was still struggling miserably on a few steps of the first floor.
Mo Shuwan and his group were new faces after all. Before long, many passengers came out of the surrounding rooms. Some were watching them from the lower floors, while others were observing them from the upper floors. Of course, most of the passengers on these old buses lived on the lower four floors.
In one of the rooms on the fourth floor, two young men watched Yun Chen, who was leading the way and almost reached the fourth floor. Seeing how easily he was going up, they couldn't help but narrow their eyes.
"They appear to be passengers on the new bus."
"Tsk." The young man next to him turned to look at Mo Shuwan and the others who were still between the second and third floors, and then glanced at Chen Jiaxu on the first floor. "It seems that they have successfully completed at least five mission worlds, otherwise they would not have the right to choose sinners. They are not too weak."
It was no secret that all the new buses had been deployed to the outer small worlds. They didn't believe that there would be any powerful beings in those small worlds where only ordinary humans remained. So, after seeing Yun Chen's performance, they concluded that he was a sinner.
Yun Chen, who was leading the way, and Cheng Hua, who was just a few steps behind him, attracted the attention of many passengers, especially when they arrived at the fourth floor and were about to go to the fifth floor, which instantly attracted the attention of most passengers.
The passengers standing in the hall looked up at Yun Chenjing, who had suddenly stopped, and squinted as they said, "The pressure from the fourth to the fifth floor won't increase too much, but the fifth to the sixth floor is a watershed. If he can get through it, he can barely make it onto the list."
"Making it onto the list might not be enough, right? We need to get to at least the seventh floor."
The murmurs reached Mo Shuwan's ears clearly. She paused for a moment, pondering the words "on the list" they were talking about. She took another step forward, then suddenly froze, looking down at her legs. Just now... it seemed that the fatigue in her calves had lessened.
Previously, she only experienced a reduction in fatigue when resting. Now that she was feeling this way, Mo Shuwan wasn't quite sure, worried that she might be perceiving something wrong. She slowly climbed a few more steps, but didn't feel that reduction in fatigue again.
While most of the passengers in the building were silently watching Yun Chenjing walk up the stairs between the fourth and fifth floors, a few young men with grim faces walked into the lobby outside the building. After entering, they looked at the entrance with resentment and saw the group of people who had just tricked them walking together. Their faces became even uglier.
"Damn it, I'm completely out of points now, and I still owe that bastard over a thousand!"
"...The competition hasn't even started yet, and we've already lost all our points. Everyone's even in debt. What are we going to do now? Without points, we can't improve our strength, and that will definitely cause problems during the competition."
These new passengers had encountered the same thing as Mo Shuwan and her group, but they were in a worse situation. They didn't have many points saved up to prepare for the competition, and now they had been swindled out of them all at once. In order to be able to stay, they even wrote IOUs to those guys.
"What else can we do? We need to find a way to earn points! Otherwise, who knows what might happen if we get kicked out of the room!"
Some people in the lobby were observing a few new passengers, and they overheard almost every word of their conversation.
The two closest passengers quickly walked over and said in a deep voice, "If either of you is willing to switch rooms with us, we can give you an extra thousand points."
The worried new passengers were stunned, staring in disbelief at the person who offered to switch rooms with them. "Are you sure you want to use a thousand points to switch rooms with us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, other passengers came over and offered to change rooms, also willing to give extra points. Although most of the passengers were still observing, several new passengers had already booked rooms for him.
