The hot towel was placed on his face, and the moment it was removed, Wen Xishu felt a considerable amount of his fatigue dissipate.
Although returning to the bunker made all the negative statuses disappear, the mental exhaustion remained.
Jabbar put away the hot towel and handed him hot tea:
"Wen, you’ve done well. Was this journey interesting?"
Suddenly, Wen Xishu understood why the old principal, such an impressive figure, had a secretary like Jabbar instead of a beautiful woman with a stunning figure.
Jabbar’s aura truly gave people the feeling that they were being served by a hall-level celebrity butler, making one feel like a celestial prodigy.
"It was interesting... But I have some items that need storage. I want to ask, if my item slots are full, how are the items stored?"
Jabbar had already noticed that Wen Xishu had brought back quite a few things this time.
It’s worth noting that if there are any remaining slots, the items won’t "overflow".
But once the slots are full, upon returning to the bunker, the items will overflow, though some items appear with a grayish hue to others.
This indicates the items are unique. Unique items can be displayed, played with, and admired by others, but cannot be taken away or used by them. Once they leave the owner for a certain distance, they forcibly reappear beside the owner.
Before leaving, Wen Xishu placed the Scorpio cheat knife, the Fake Fortune Compass, the Phoenix Gloves, and the True Murder Football into the slots.
Consequently, "Tang Rui’s Letter," "Forgotten Key," "Gradual Indifference," "Adventure Goblet," and "Best Friend Handle" could not be carried.
They all appeared in "box" form beside Wen Xishu. At this moment, they had already been collected by Jabbar.
Jabbar said:
"I can see, Wen, that this journey was indeed spectacular, and your gains match your efforts."
"I’ve already packed all these items for you. Now take them and follow me."
Jabbar invited Wen Xishu to accompany him to the materials department.
...
...
The department area of Three Towers Academy is a special place where sequences can be used. However, there are several such special areas within the Academy.
For example—the materials department of Three Towers Academy.
The first function of the materials department is to provide students with various materials and tools needed for tower climbing. The second function is storage lockers.
The storage lockers are divided into twelve slots, twenty-four slots, and forty-eight slots. So far, the storage lockers mostly used by the old principal Albert are two forty-eight slot lockers.
The function of the storage area is very simple; upon entering the storage area, you can place all obtained items into the locker and adjust your items between the item slots and the locker while it’s open.
Additionally, during the tower climb, when entering the preparation rest area, you can directly adjust the items between the item slots and the locker.
In other words, the storage locker functions like a backpack extension, but only before starting a task in the Three-Tower World.
For the Academy, a Level Seven facility like Three Towers Academy, this is not at all any special function.
Wen Xishu carried numerous packaged items, following Jabbar to the materials department, drawing quite a bit of attention along the way through the campus.
"Why does this scene feel familiar?"
"Speaking of which, isn’t this person not the first time following Jabbar?"
"Yeah, it seems earlier, Jabbar was also accompanying him."
"Look at how those items are packaged like equipment boxes from the materials department."
"Looks like he brought back quite a haul from the Slaughter Tower."
"Seems like a freshman, huh? Is there someone stronger than Miyamoto Yishu among the Slaughter Tower freshmen this year?"
Wen Xishu felt uneasy with so many eyes on him, recalling Albert’s words about the Wen family once offending some families.
Among these people, some were likely searching for Wen Xishu.
"Couldn’t the Academy build a tunnel? I feel like being stared at like this is going to be a problem. Jabbar, you, serving the legendary principal, caused me to become the center of attention, which isn’t good."
Jabbar chuckled softly:
"Don’t worry, Wen. Although you should avoid being too high-profile, some of your actions actually intimidate those seniors who might harbor hostility towards you."
Wen Xishu pondered for a moment, understanding roughly.
Four high-frequency Deceit Tower explorations, all with a Level Six completion grade; if someone in the Academy knew he was Wen Xishu...
Then before taking action, they’d have to consider if they could bear the Academy’s wrath and whether he was a suitable opponent.
Jabbar soon led Wen Xishu to a twenty-four-slot storage locker.
There weren’t many people in the storage area; most freshmen hadn’t yet reached the point where they needed storage lockers.
For many freshmen, the first items they encounter are those borrowed from the materials department.
"Wen, originally we hoped you could provide some unused items for others to borrow, supporting the materials department."
"But your items are of too high quality, excluding those of Wenren Mirror and the principal, most cannot be traded. Additionally, the quantity of purple items is too high, which defies common knowledge."
"People cannot comprehend owning so many purple items at such a young age. So, we hope you can keep those items and make use of them yourself."
Jabbar said politely.
Wen Xishu asked:
"Besides the Academy, are there other places with storage areas?"
Jabbar nodded:
"Yes, there is a special facility, a Level Six facility, the bank, on the fourth floor."
Wen asked:
"What’s the difference compared to the Academy?"
Jabbar shook his head:
"Not much difference; if you must compare, the bank’s functions are more singular. At least the Academy allows exchange and lending."
Wen Xishu stored his items.
"After leaving the storage area, these items are basically unusable?"
"Yes, they are weapons of Three-Tower World; in the bunker, you can only carry and place them, not utilize them in any other way."
Wen asked further:
"If I bring back a knife, can’t I use its basic functions?"
Jabbar nodded:
"Yes, it cannot be damaged but also cannot harm anyone."
Wen Xishu fully understood; the bunker seemed like some strange insulated area.
"I want to see the principal; I need his assistance with Slaughter Tower login." Wen Xishu felt relieved after placing his items.
Now he only needed to adjust his items in the preparation rest area.
Jabbar said:
"Regarding your next mission to the Slaughter Tower, the principal already instructed me, and I’m handling it; your login device will be delivered tomorrow."
Wen Xishu frowned:
"Can’t I log in now? I want to go to the Slaughter Tower immediately."
Jabbar looked at Wen Xishu, feeling somewhat at a loss:
"Wen, your eagerness to learn makes me ashamed. But sorry, you have to wait; the process will be completed soon. Honestly, isn’t there anything in the bunker you’d like to experience? Please, at least rest for a day before setting out again."
Jabbar uncharacteristically took a firm stance.
Wen Xishu understood that it wasn’t possible to log in immediately. He thought about it and decided to check on the pair Yue Yun and Nissen.
If possible, Wen Xishu truly hoped to enter the Slaughter Tower with them.
After bidding farewell to Jabbar, Wen Xishu headed to the dormitory.
But this time, there was an additional person in the dormitory.
