"Pinky swear!"
Wen Xishu's figure gradually disappeared.
But in the end, he was delighted to have made an agreement with the little girl from the Obsession World.
The journey of the Balance Curse had come to an end, or perhaps, it had truly begun.
...
...
Doors, clocks, the sound of "tatata" laughter.
Wen Xishu finally returned to the familiar place.
The guide said:
"Congratulations, congratulations! The journey through fifty floors ended perfectly, oh... I must say, it was a difficult victory."
The black Deceitful Head smiled obsequiously.
Wen Xishu started checking the panel.
As a perfect clear, but because it only involved the Deceit Tower, he leveled up by four levels this time.
The Anti-Magic Value had already broken through the 100-point threshold. Wen Xishu wondered if returning to the Wen Family's Old Mansion this time would bring any new revelations.
There weren't many other changes on the panel, but it's worth mentioning that the Tower Power Value had been fully restored. With 25 Tower Power Value, Wen Xishu felt suddenly wealthy.
At the same time, although the serial number of the Ultimate Kick was still 199, the name of the Ultimate Kick had changed to Ultimate Kick·Modified.
Ultimate Kick·Modified: "After being tempered by the Deceit Tower, the current Ultimate Kick can now deal area damage, hitting multiple targets simultaneously, and comes with armor-breaking damage."
The Scorpion Knife had really shown its power! Wen Xishu was overjoyed. This Ultimate Kick, under the stacking of multiple runes, had truly been transformed from waste to a treasure by him.
The black Deceitful Head laughed:
"Your gains have offset some of the conventional rewards. Congratulations, the sequence has undergone a special evolution."
Wen Xishu frowned:
"So... the evolution of the Ultimate Kick even used up my other rewards? Is that all I get this time?"
The black Deceitful Head laughed "tatata" again:
"How could that be, you've gained so much from this challenge, especially an extremely interesting super rare rune."
Upon hearing there was a rare rune, Wen Xishu's expression improved considerably.
Without Level 6 or Level 7 facilities, he could accept it, since the Ultimate Kick had indeed gotten stronger.
But if it was only panel upgrades and the enhancement of the Ultimate Kick, then this would be quite underwhelming.
Fortunately, the upcoming rewards were also interesting to Wen Xishu.
"Fully Customized·Ultimate Killer Move?"
The name of the rune left Wen Xishu puzzled.
However, through the description of the rune, he seemed to understand its function.
This rune was indeed rare and had a playful, vague description.
Rune description:
"You know when people from the M78 Nebula come to Earth to fight monsters, why don't they just use that ray right away? Because an ultimate move must have a cooldown.
A qualified ultimate move, of course, needs a long cooldown, high cost, and massive power!
Come on, construct your own ultimate move!"
Rune requirements: Can only be embedded in combat sequences. Currently consumable resources—
Life span (parameters to be set).
Money (parameters to be set).
Items (parameters to be set).
Abstract things (parameters to be set).
Skill interval (parameters to be set).
Tower Power Value and other rare energies (parameters to be set).
Physical stamina (parameters to be set).
Note: Once various parameters are set, they cannot be changed for a long time.
Wen Xishu understood.
This is a rune to construct an ultimate killer move, meant to be embedded in a sequence, allowing that sequence to completely change and evolve into his own Ultimate Profound Meaning.
The higher the adjustable parameters, the greater the power of the Profound Meaning.
For example, the Ultimate Kick, in a sense, is just Wen Xishu's ordinary combat technique, which could even be viewed as a high-level normal attack.
But if the rune is embedded, it will forcefully increase the cost of using the Ultimate Kick.
The Ultimate Kick will no longer merely consume physical stamina; if you're willing to pay the price, you can significantly extend the skill interval of the Ultimate Kick, making it unable to be used continuously in a short time, thereby achieving excessive damage output in a single instance.
Of course, if you're crazy enough, you can even set the Ultimate Kick to consume money, lifespan, or abstract things like memory, soul, etc...
This is a truly "customizable Profound Meaning."
Various costs are determined by you. Different costs will also lead to different final Profound Meaning forms of the sequence.
"If I change the usage interval to 99 years... does that mean I've loaded a super profound meaning that can only be activated once in a lifetime?"
Wen Xishu asked the black Deceitful Head.
The black Deceitful Head shook its head:
"Of course not, you can still shorten the usage interval with other runes."
"However, if you really want to construct a Profound Meaning that can only be used once in a lifetime, you could check soul sacrifice or rune sacrifice in the abstract things, or set it to inevitably die after activation. But I wouldn't recommend it..."
"After all, the significance of a nuclear bomb is often just deterrence. In life, you need guns and cannons more."
Wen Xishu understood.
It's indeed possible to consume all kinds of things, go all-in, and construct a super ultimate move...
But there's no need, as he already possesses the "Orbital Cannon" of the Sagittarius.
Still, this setup can indeed construct a high-cost ultimate move that can be used multiple times.
However, at this stage, Wen Xishu hasn't found a suitable sequence yet.
If it's installed in the Spiritual Bullet Screen, the Spiritual Bullet Screen would completely become a Profound Meaning and can't be easily activated.
If loaded into the Ultimate Kick, the Ultimate Kick would cease to be a regular combat method.
"I need to create a new sequence... preferably not a single move, but some kind of transformation-like skill. Ideally, something with a base damage much higher than the Ultimate Kick."
That's extremely difficult, considering Wen Xishu hasn't acquired such skills even after climbing the tower for so long.
But he's still very excited because... he's found a way to risk everything.
He's not fond of going all-in, as the first principle of tower climbing is to survive. But sometimes, being unwilling to go all-in is entirely different from being unable to go all-in.
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to set this rune aside and wait until he finds a suitable sequence to embed the rune.
He realized one thing: during his exploration of the Deceit Tower this time, he went through several day-and-night cycles, staying at the tavern overnight each return.
Counting it, this journey has actually lasted several days.
"I wonder how things are at the bunker now."
Remembering the Academy Spirit requiring him to attend classes, but then he tower-jumped, and now he's been away for several days...
Hopefully, no trouble has arisen? And whether the arranged lecturer has been found.
