Bunker.
The grand trading event is still ongoing, with a steady stream of people coming and going.
When Wen Xishu's figure appeared in the office, the Academy Spirit, as usual, handed over cleaning supplies skillfully.
"Welcome back, and congratulations on once again completing an incredible challenge. Thanks to you, all the Bunker People are in a frenzy again, and the business in the Deceit Tower's market district has become much more booming."
Wen Xishu was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood.
"Did you all receive the notification?"
The Academy Spirit nodded:
"It's quite something, the notification was like this—'Bunker resident Wen Xishu has achieved a Level 7 completion, and the bunker supplies have reached an abundant level. The rewards for exploring the Three Towers have entered the inquiry phase, and all bunker residents who clear the levels of the Three Towers exploration will receive even richer rewards.'
"Do you know, it's really astonishing, Level 7 completion, and all by yourself."
"You know, just a few hours ago, someone saw you wandering in the market. You were lingering at the Deceit Tower's stall."
"No one expected that a few hours later, you would return. Then everyone suddenly received the news of your Level 7 completion."
"It's crazy!"
The Academy Spirit was somewhat excited.
It's no wonder.
Because this time, Wen Xishu's experience was so brief.
Unlike previous challenges that lasted days, in real-time, the ghost-knocking lasted only a few hours.
The Academy Spirit continued:
"Everyone still doesn't know what the inquiry is, but hearing about richer rewards, they've all come eagerly."
"Desire Tower and Slaughter Tower require quite some time to complete, after all, finding people in Desire Tower is very exhausting. Slaughtering monsters in Slaughter Tower and clearing the Slaughter Value also requires staying by the bonfire for a long time."
"Now everyone is wondering if Deceit Tower can be completed rapidly."
Wen Xishu thought, indeed. If you go to the Slaughter Tower, and the Slaughter Value is almost full, you really have to forcibly go to the bonfire to clear the Slaughter Value.
Most people in Desire Tower don't have an invitation, so they have to rely on Luck Value, without an ideal entry point, without a Compass...
Desire Tower is often located in some city, with a huge population base, finding people takes ages.
And most players in Desire Tower, no... excluding myself, all other Desire Tower players don't have strong physical abilities.
They really can only "make a target happy," just like Wenren Mirror, slowly gaining the target's favor.
In this way, the process indeed prolongs.
Wen Xishu had previously completed Deceit Tower within a few hours, but at that time no one knew.
After all, Liu Jinsen said, he didn't have to report it.
This time caused a stir because he triggered faction rewards, and... the timing was so short.
Imagine the fervor of the Xishu Divine Teaching followers.
And the students of the Deceit Tower Academy, roughly their status can be elevated too.
If you complete a task too smoothly and efficiently, it makes many people feel like the task wasn't so difficult.
Wen Xishu said:
"I need to take a break."
He's used to the outside world's praise. Wen Xishu indeed felt a bit tired.
He thought about it, considering the market will last for many more days, and the auction hasn't started yet, he decided not to appear today.
After some thought, Wen Xishu decided to rest first.
By tomorrow morning, he plans to visit the Wen Family's Old Mansion.
Unknowingly, his Anti-Magic Value has surpassed 120 points.
Thinking about it, once again gazing at Wen Chaohua's photo might yield different clues.
The Academy Spirit said:
"I shall take my leave, rest well, and thank you for your contribution to the bunker."
...
...
After the urge to explore the tower was temporarily alleviated, Wen Xishu rested almost an entire day.
When he awoke, it was unexpectedly afternoon.
He was a bit surprised, realizing he had indeed accumulated quite a bit of fatigue, it was just that in the past he was too excited to notice.
Sometimes, people can misjudge their own physical state.
After enjoying the meal prepared by the Academy Spirit, Wen Xishu briefly inquired and found out that today, some already know what the inquiry is.
Because someone has already undergone the inquiry test, was asked five questions, and received unprecedented rare sequences.
Of course, what's deemed rare is only relative to previous rewards received by this person.
It's now being spread outside that the legendary Bunker Resident Wen Xishu has initiated an era of universal exploration in the Deceit Tower, making those extremely rare runes, sequences, items, and facilities no longer out of reach.
Though Wen Xishu is accustomed to praise, he still enjoys hearing it.
Wen Xishu briefly asked:
"Any news from the principal's side?"
"No, upon learning of your Level 7 difficulty clearance, the principal immediately headed to the Slaughter Tower. It's supposed to take several days before returning."
Wen Xishu nodded, it seems there is nothing else requiring his extra attention.
But he still reminded:
"Tell Teacher Yin Ze at the Deceit Tower Academy to remind the students that they should regard the difficulty of the Deceit Tower seriously and not assume it can be completed easily, they must have divergent thinking. Being bold is good, but they must be meticulous."
The Academy Spirit recorded seriously. After Wen Xishu's instruction, the Academy Spirit cautiously said:
"Principal, there's something I don't know if I should say..."
Wen Xishu gave a puzzled glance at the Academy Spirit:
"Speak."
The Academy Spirit said:
"I always feel like I've somehow upset you, and it seems there's some distance between us."
"Although I'm your servant, you know, I consider myself at least half a friend to you."
"But yesterday I felt that after you returned, you seemed to exude an aura that kept people away."
