The four of them activated the login device and made a gesture of clasping their hands together while closing their eyes, praying to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu wanted to say: I won’t respond to your pleas.

The seventh floor of Deceit Tower.
Location: Jicheng. Jicheng does not belong to Longxia; it is the capital of a neighboring country to Longxia. This country lacks cultural confidence and relies on theft for its heritage. Whatever Longxia has, they steal.
Of course, the theft is always unsuccessful.
This is a twisted country, with Jicheng being the most twisted of all. Jicheng has world-class technology companies, but it also has the strictest class barriers. Despite this, many people still desire to squeeze into Jicheng, hoping to leave their mark here, or even leave descendants.
This is also why Miracle Apartment Building is hailed as a miracle.
In Jicheng, every inch of land is incredibly valuable, and ordinary people might have to spend their entire salary to rent a slightly better apartment.
However, Miracle Apartment Building has forty-nine floors, with thirteen units per floor. Each floor has seven elevators and features an exquisite facade. Every unit on every floor has floor-to-ceiling windows, making it look like a commercial building.
In reality, it is not a single building but several buildings clustered together, with an interior courtyard in the middle.
From a distance, it looks like a polygonal columnar structure, with luxurious furniture visible. Calling such a building an "apartment" seems somewhat inaccurate.
But its owner, one of the top financial dynasties in Jicheng, indeed prefers to call it a residential apartment.
The most outrageous part is... its owner charges incredibly low rent.
"You might not believe it, but for such a luxurious apartment, 140 square meters per unit, with top-notch decorations, the monthly rent is only 2,700 yuan, including property management fees. If you can move in, or rather, if you’re selected, it’s considered a tremendous fortune."
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he found himself and his comrades, Wen Xiangge and the others, standing outside the Miracle Apartment Building.
The staff of Miracle Apartment Building were passionately introducing this remarkable building, their faces full of envy.
It seemed that living here truly was a great blessing.
As Wen Xishu listened to the introduction, he noticed that this interface was completely different from before. Earlier, whether in Deceit Tower or Desire Tower, Wen Xishu found it extremely realistic.
But this time, Wen Xishu noticed something out of place in his vision.
[Action Points: 95.]
[Current available action: Listen to the history of this building, consuming 5 action points (action in progress)]
The concept of action points was introduced for the first time.
Wen Xishu’s first reaction was that this must not be a permanent concept, perhaps a value specific to this mission.
The action in progress indicated that 5 action points had already been deducted, implying that the initial action points for this game were 100.
However, Wen Xishu was uncertain whether these 100 points were for the entire seven days or for a single day. If it wasn’t for a single day... this game would be somewhat unreasonable.
The staff continued their animated explanation, spittle flying.
He led Wen Xishu and the others into the Miracle Apartment Building.
The hall on the first floor was furnished with seven rows of sofas.
The colors of the seven rows of sofas varied, with each sofa featuring different popular elements.
The first row of sofas featured Jicheng’s actress He Lina, with dreamy eyes, lying down and drinking coffee.
The second row displayed dishes from a Michelin restaurant in Jicheng.
The third row showcased a portrait of the building’s owner, An Zhenqi, one of the most famous financial magnates in Jicheng.
The fourth row depicted a corner of Jicheng’s largest amusement park, with its logo being a chubby smiling face.
The fifth row displayed a photo of Jicheng’s president looking energetic during his election victory.
The sixth row unexpectedly featured the map of Longxia.
The seventh row showed Jicheng’s football star Sun Xingming during a powerful shot at the World Cup group match.
The elements on the seven rows of sofas varied, with all but the sixth row representing Jicheng’s affluent individuals.
Wen Xishu silently noted these details, feeling they might be clues.
"Sorry, I’ll go get your room cards. Meanwhile, you can rest here for a bit."
The staff left.
Wen Xiangge and the others finally relaxed:
"This is actually Deceit Tower?"
"Praise Lord Wen Xishu, this is really Deceit Tower! I heard Deceit Tower is incredibly dangerous, but look at this luxurious decoration."
Xiaowu echoed:
"The decoration is indeed extravagant, and there’s no eerie feeling here. If you said this was Desire Tower, I’d believe you."
"Seven is a lucky number. Could it be that we are blessed for worshiping Lord Wen Xishu... are we being favored?"
Wen Xishu had to admit, these two had quite the nerve.
The eerier a place, the more you should be cautious when it appears normal, right?
Ah Miao said:
"That person just mentioned that this place has the best medical resources. If I can get my illness treated here..."
Wu Xiangjiao said:
"Don’t even think about it. If you get injured in Deceit Tower, the injury won’t appear back in the Bunker. Right now, you’re not actually sick. We are not ourselves; we are our registered accounts."
Wen Xishu didn’t expect Wu Xiangjiao to be so insightful.
He still had to fit in:
"Let’s not think about that for now. As long as we can successfully unravel the secrets here, you’ll definitely be able to earn enough money in the Bunker to cure your illness."
