Wen Xishu didn’t speak, Albert’s gaze was profound:
"I’ll tell you the reason, but before that, let me ask you, did you encounter any powerful existences during your time in the Deceit Tower this time?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Aside from Pisces, there was also someone named An Rongzai. Under my influence, he seems to have become a Demon King-level existence. However, I haven’t unlocked the conditions to recruit him."
As Wen Xishu spoke, he was also observing Albert’s reaction. He wanted to know if he had caused any trouble, whether the existence of An Rongzai had brought some kind of trouble to the Tower Climbers of the Slaughter Tower.
Albert calmly smiled and said:
"Excellent, now suppose I send you to a higher level of the Slaughter Tower, for example, the fiftieth floor, and assume you encounter the Demon King An Rongzai, and also assume you have met the conditions to recruit him, could you do it?"
Wen Xishu was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he seemed to understand Albert’s meaning and shook his head helplessly.
Albert continued:
"You performed very well in the Deceit Tower. Your sharp intellect and strong associative ability allow you, like your brother, to see the tragic destinies behind those eerie situations, or...the source of malice."
"I have never seen someone like you, who appeared out of nowhere and achieved a sixth level consecutively. But so what?"
"One day, when you go to the battlefield of the Slaughter Tower, you will find...you can’t do anything. Whether those you saved or those benefited from you, when they find you are too weak, do you think you have the right to let them follow you? They might protect you, but for how long?"
Albert’s words made Wen Xishu fully understand.
"Your brother later comprehended this point clearly. He knew the importance of diplomacy. In the Desire Tower and the Deceit Tower, it is extremely necessary to anchor one advantageous trajectory for the future of humanity after another."
"But this world has a very simple theorem — weak forces do not have the concept of diplomacy."
Just a few words, and Wen Xishu suddenly felt as if his foundation had been shattered. He couldn’t refute this. Because in past lives, many countries had verified this statement.
Albert said:
"Initially, your brother explored the Slaughter Tower. Later, he felt that the Slaughter Tower was full of brash people and started exploring the Desire Tower. But due to the entry timing of the Desire Tower, he always couldn’t find the focus. The world of the Desire Tower lacked a sense of crisis, making it easy for people to lose their will and feel as if the Three Towers were just game worlds."
"In the end, Wen Chaohua chose the Deceit Tower. He once thought he found the ideal, most valuable tower."
"But in the end, he discovered that all three towers are indispensable. If he had to choose one, perhaps only the Slaughter Tower was necessary."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What happened afterward? What did he do later?"
Albert said:
"Later? He asked me if it was possible for one person to master the rules and abilities of all three towers."
"Is it possible for one person to explore the three towers simultaneously? Could it be that the abilities of the Deceit Tower and the Desire Tower can only be used for ’diplomacy’?"
"If a person is strong enough, then obtaining sequences from the Desire Tower and the Deceit Tower may bring a qualitative change."
"He told me he wanted to go into politics and then initiate a reform."
Reform?
Wen Xishu never thought Wen Chaohua would be so bold.
"Did he mean to change the current tower climbing system? Slaughter Tower Academy graduates go to the Slaughter Tower, Desire Tower Academy graduates go to the Desire Tower..."
"Was he going to force everyone to climb the three towers in sequence?"
Albert nodded:
"So it seems, you two are indeed brothers."
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"No, I’m not as crazy as he is. I just guessed he would do this, but I think the current system in the Bunker is reasonable."
Unless everyone has insane luck, otherwise this approach is detrimental to the foundation of humanity.
Albert said:
"Indeed, I don’t have an Anti-Magic Value, the possibility of dying on the first floor of the Deceit Tower is also present for me."
"Moreover, I have no evidence to prove that humanity will one day leave the Bunker. All my sense of crisis, including the concept of ’world,’ are unproven speculations. I’m just used to...putting myself in more difficult assumptions."
"This world has right things and easy things."
"Once the easy things can also solve some problems in the short term, people will overlook the right things, even making them...taboo."
"Whether your brother is a madman or a genius, I can’t make a conclusion. But if one day, there’s someone who can climb all three towers simultaneously, I think it should be him."
Albert seemed a bit regretful:
"Well, I guessed wrong. In the end, I found out that it wasn’t him."
Wen Xishu said:
"And then...did he do something that infuriated both gods and men?"
Albert nodded:
"That incident, I won’t tell you. I’ll tell you his earlier trajectory. But there is one thing I can tell you. It’s also something that’s always troubled me."
"Go ahead."
"Before the incident at the Wen Family, Wen Chaohua called me. He said something very excitedly over the phone."
Albert took a deep breath:
"Teacher, I have rediscovered the significance of exploring the Deceit Tower! The Deceit Tower is the most important tower! Even if you kill me, I still think so!"
