Wen Xishu quickly returned to the Deceit Tower Academy. Before each climb, he would briefly examine his memory to see if there was any unfinished business about the Bunker.
Soon, Wen Xishu noticed something amiss. He always felt as if he were missing some memories, as if something in the past few days didn’t quite add up.
Indeed, many of his memories had disappeared—especially those about Almi.
Almi’s memories vanished from his mind.
Even Wen Xiangge didn’t remember Almi. He only recalled that the Sect Hierarch mentioned a reason he couldn’t quite remember, prompting him to feign illness and rest for a while.
If Almi had no interaction with them and merely assassinated Wen Xiangge, then Wen Xiangge’s death would undoubtedly become an unsolvable mystery.
But fortunately, Almi interacted quite deeply with Wen Xishu and others.
Although Wen Xishu didn’t remember Almi, both he and the old principal remembered their journey together to the Shipwreck House.
Finally, in a situation where their brains couldn’t recall, through the Shipwreck House’s narration hints, they remembered that indeed someone had talked to them about certain topics.
Wen Xishu also confirmed one thing, that the next time he met Almi, he would have to make more detailed records.
The threat of Hunter City was not small, but Wen Xishu had no choice. To resolve Hunter City, Almi alone wouldn’t suffice; they needed to rely on tower climbing as well.
He didn’t delay any further, rested for a week, and the craving for the tower hit hard, necessitating a quick breath of the Bunker’s outside air to curb the urge.
Wen Xishu activated this session’s Login Device.
As usual, he tossed the Mad Dice.
This time, the Mad Dice showed a result he was pleased to see and had never rolled before.
Two, two, two.
Three twos.
Three Phases, Three Highs, coincidentally, good things come in pairs, Quality Upgrade.
Wen Xishu originally planned to choose Three Phases and Quality Upgrade, but he discovered that using the Mad Dice, he unlocked an achievement.
[Up to this point, you have successfully rolled every combination of three identical dice, unlocking the achievement: Hidden Leopard.]
[Hidden Leopard: Every time henceforth when you roll three identical dice combinations, there is a probability for the numbers to change to: Seven, Seven, Seven.]
[Seven-Seven-Seven: Ultimate jackpot, effects unknown, only revealed when rolled.]
Wen Xishu found it interesting.
Indeed, he had rolled three ones, three threes, three fours, three fives, three sixes...
This was the first time three twos appeared.
Above count as having rolled all combinations of three identical numbers.
But he really hadn’t expected there to be three sevens?
In slot machines, 777 means the ultimate jackpot. The description of Seven-Seven-Seven did indeed mention the ultimate jackpot several times.
But unfortunately, this time it didn’t trigger 777.
"I’ll have to try later... Mad Dice’s ultimate jackpot? Quite the hype."
Wen Xishu wasn’t too concerned, in fact, the probability of rolling three identical numbers with the Mad Dice was quite high.
Until now, he’d tossed the Mad Dice 24 times in total.
But the number of times a leopard showed up was—ten times.
Now he understood that within leopards, there was a hidden variation.
Since it didn’t happen this time, Wen Xishu didn’t dwell on it much.
This task was at level 66. It was the largest wave level for Wen Xishu so far. It was also the most difficult challenge he could experience under natural selection.
After several tower climbs, he finally caught up in a meaningful way, trailing behind Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror.
The rest area of the Deceit Tower was bustling with people.
The Deceit Tower was indeed dangerous, but the status and ability enhancement brought by climbing it led everyone to accept this danger.
Who wouldn’t want their wealth and status to rock up like a rocket?
Who wouldn’t want to become an elite in the Bunker?
Wen Xishu steadily appeared at the Celestial Essence location, paying little attention to the people around him. The Deceit Tower had truly become the "hot project" now, he no longer needed to worry.
Wen Xishu quickly examined this time’s task.
[Task level, sixty-six floors.]
[Task introduction: All the Evil Spirits under the pens of horror masters, criminals, and various characters from twisted fairy tales, all gathered in a small town. A secret is hidden in the town, but no one knows.
Let’s temporarily call this town—Pen Town.
Zodiac signs, Outer Gods, only with special opportunities can one enter Pen Town, but don’t think that entering Pen Town means you can find that secret. After all, the world’s most famous criminals, evil spirits, dark story characters, all long to warmly greet outsiders.
To this day, that secret has not been discovered. Can you find that secret? We do not hold out hope; you should first consider—how to survive.]
[Guide’s judgment: This survival probability, 0.44 per thousand.]
[Message from Deceit Tower guide: Listen to me, activate the forced tower-leaving service, the place you’ll be going to is akin to a horror story universe, you absolutely won’t want to stay there too long. The good news is you might encounter challengers from other Three-Tower Battlefields, after all, there are quite a few hoping to unearth that town’s secret.]
Hmm?
Wen Xishu had never cared much about survival probabilities. There was no safe place in the Deceit Tower.
What intrigued him more was the appearance of the words Zodiac signs and Outer Gods, especially Outer Gods, directly in the task introduction.
"It seems like after experiencing the Realm of Hundred Selves, my performance in the battle between Outer Gods and the Three Tower Gods won the Three Tower Gods’ victory?"
"Now these words, Outer Gods, can frequently appear, at least for me."
