The swordsman stepped forward.
This means that the swordsman dressed like an ancient hero has a very pessimistic view of the world.
[You have one last question left.]
It must get to the point.
After a brief pause, Wen Xishu slowly asked:
"If you were to enter your own Obsession World, could that world kill you?"
Interestingly, the pair of twins and the swordsman stepped forward again, which caught Wen Xishu's attention.
The other monsters didn't move forward, seemingly indicating that their attributes are very strong, and they are the ultimate bosses of the Obsession World.
The levels constructed around them are insufficient to kill them.
[Your questions are done. Make your choice, select your opponent, and decide whether to exchange attributes or identities with them.]
Wen Xishu could indeed point to those high-level monsters in the distance.
But that would be too risky.
The prerequisite for saving Evelyn is not to put himself in danger.
His gaze fell on the pair of twins. They seem to be two young people.
"Undoubtedly, Gemini loves most...and these two people have a positive understanding of the world. And their Obsession World has rules that could kill them."
"It really tempts me."
Despite that, Wen Xishu eventually looked towards the swordsman.
He feels that it would be an interesting journey.
Wen Xishu tends towards exchanging authorities with the opponent, which means participating in the game as a Tower Guardian.
He wants to "empathize" with these people waiting for redemption just once.
He wants to see the Three Towers from their perspective.
So all his questions were actually to ensure that he would be in a favorable position after the exchange of powers.
By exchanging attributes with those monsters capable of traversing the Obsession World alone, Wen Xishu can ensure that this journey will go smoothly.
But he feels there's no meaning in that. That is a similar experience to going to the lower levels to bully weaklings.
He's had such an experience before.
He hopes to better understand the Three Towers, understand the bosses within the Deceit Tower, and do the right thing.
[Please make your choice.]
Wen Xishu thought for a moment:
"I choose him. I want to swap identities with him."
Wen Xishu abandoned the twins and Gemini in this choice.
On one hand, he already got the invitations for Gemini and Virgo, so no need to rush.
On the other hand, the swordsman has an additional advantage—Tower Power Value.
And the swordsman possesses time-related attributes.
He always feels that he might obtain some valuable intelligence.
About the origins of the Apocalypse.
After making his choice, Wen Xishu's consciousness began to shake violently.
[Current level: Seventy-one layers.]
This information flashed by.
Obviously, although the swordsman isn't at level ninety and can't be questioned, he is indeed a high-level strongman.
This wave is worthwhile.
In this way, his Celestial Ladder List progress can be significantly improved.
Wen Xishu felt a bit excited about it.
Madness Peak is truly a good thing.
But it's indeed hard to trigger, requiring a roll out of a 414, choosing to bravely face four trials, and completing the challenge before the next round can be triggered.
Back to the point.
When Wen Xishu's consciousness stopped shaking, he found himself still in the "Rest Area."
But the presence of monsters had disappeared.
The Rest Area of Deceit Tower became lively again because of the people.
"Buying details of Miyazaki Yinggao's childhood copy!"
"How do you pass Reversed Seven Apartments? I heard you eat vomit upon entry?"
"How do you play the Head Seven task? Heard at Deceit Tower Academy that you have to sleep with ghosts for seven days? Total stay can be only seven days, used just to sleep with ghosts?"
It's back, the familiar Rest Area is back.
Wen Xishu also saw the task introduction.
[The inner obsession of people has created the twisted creatures of the Three-Tower Battlefield, eerie existences, including humans, ghosts, and gods. But in Longxia, there exists another kind of presence hidden elsewhere...Jianghu.
Is it the great hero for the country and the people? Is it a bloody sea and mountain of corpses, enjoying revenge, and dominating the vast lands and four seas? Or perhaps Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but human affairs?
You need to choose between chivalry and survival.
Everything is up to your choice. Survive in the world of Jianghu. Or alternatively, after meeting the basic conditions of survival, discover secrets beyond the martial arts world and find the hidden easter eggs in the shadows?]
This is the Challenger's task introduction. Wen Xishu himself is a Challenger, a Tower Climber, so he can see this introduction.
But correspondingly, Wen Xishu also saw another version of the introduction.
[Madness Topples Deceit Tower: As the builder of Jianghu, you must be careful not to let Tower Climbers pass through that treacherous Jianghu and find you. You loathe this world, you're deeply aware of Jianghu's treachery, and you're convinced that there's no fairy tale illusion left in Jianghu.
Transform into the stinkiest game designer to make your Jianghu even more treacherous, let all those who think they can act chivalrously...perish!
You can directly place a Demon Sect elder in Newbie Village, or arrange for a constant winner with a feminine quality on the Challenger's inevitable path.
You can set a life-and-death contract with the inheritor of the Descending Dragon God Hands at the beginning.
You can alter the contents in the martial arts secret manuals they painstakingly acquire to make it half-insane, half-crazy...
Of course, the premise of setting all this up is that you need to know 'intelligence.'
As long as the Challengers die, you complete the level and unlock Level 7 completion rewards.]
What's that saying...
When practicing the righteous path, one often needs to undergo trials, exhaust their minds, maintain firm determination but get battered and bruised throughout.
On the other hand, practicing evil is pretty cool, as just by killing a person, one can directly reach the highest hall.
Two tasks show the difficulty of normal Bunker players is to experience the harsh Jianghu, go through countless battles and decipher things, and ultimately ascend to the martial arts pinnacle...
But Wen Xishu, this evil-practicing player, is different. From the start, he is the architect of the final layout of Jianghu, all sorts of wicked rules are decided by him. Killing the Challenger directly achieves Level 7 completion.
"Practicing evil is truly thrilling."
Clearly, this time the right thing overlaps with the easy thing.
But what's going on specifically still needs to be discovered after entering the game.
"Martial arts, huh... how did I forget about this."
In this Apocalypse Era where constellations await to become gods, or gods await resurrection...
People's obsessions aren't limited to myths and legends, nor eerie evil spirits.
In Longxia, there's another key element that rivals gods and demons, spirits and ghosts.
Martial arts.
Everyone has fantasized about roaming the world with a sword, killing a person every ten steps.
Only this time, Wen Xishu isn't the one traveling Jianghu, he is the designer of this Jianghu.
He is very much looking forward to it.
This kind of opening is unprecedented.
After understanding the task, Wen Xishu no longer hesitated, activating the login device and entering this new challenge.
...
...
Deceit Tower, seventy-one layers.
When the scene stopped changing, Wen Xishu opened his eyes, finding himself inside a luxurious pavilion.
The pavilion is three stories high, guarded by many martial arts masters on the second floor.
On the third floor, there's Wen Xishu and a beautiful young woman.
"Alliance Hierarch, have some grapes~"
The woman's clothing is silky, thin like gauze, looking somewhat transparent.
She is dressed in white, her hairpin already removed, her hair cascading like a waterfall.
The face bears a touch of the Western Region woman's look.
Slender jade fingers pinched crystal-clear grapes, feeding them to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu didn't refuse, directly eating it.
Wonderful.
This taste, these feelings, these opening resources...
So this is being a villain huh.
In a Jianghu martial arts-themed game, Wen Xishu begins as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.
The first beauty in Jianghu wearing what even boundary-pushing streamers dare not wear is flaunting seductively before him.
And downstairs are all top-notch Jianghu masters.
What Left-hand Swordsman, what Little Zhang Flying Knife, what Sword Beyond the Sky, what Unbeaten by All Eight Directions...
Wen Xishu can't think of how he might lose with this setup?
Of course, despite all this, he still needs to figure out what the game mechanism of this Obsession World is.
And...
What kind of story is told this time. The person longing for redemption, who exactly are they?
