"Bro, we must have it!"
Obviously, headphones can’t block out gossip. When an interesting topic comes up, even the best noise-canceling headphones are useless. Yue Yun said:
"When? Let’s go together, but do you have a way to get the items that allow team formation?"
Nissen suddenly looked dejected:
"That stuff is way too rare. Most people can’t use it to freely form teams."
"The school only arranges multiple teachers and a few highly qualified students for missions when teachers and students go together during those Slaughter Tower guidance classes."
"For example, Miyamoto Yishu. Last time, both Xiaoyun and I didn’t get this treatment. It seemed like three teachers went with him."
Wen Xishu said:
"Are you talking about the Brotherhood Wristband?"
Nissen nodded:
"Wen, you know about it too!"
Wen Xishu had a vague impression.
Back then, in the Desire Tower’s rest area, he met Liu Ruyan and Ji Bodah, a couple who could always team up for actions thanks to a purple item called the ’Mandarin Duck Lock.’
It’s evident that in the Three Towers game, the ability to form teams and go to a place together is an extremely rare attribute.
The Brotherhood Wristband is naturally hard to obtain as well.
Yue Yun said:
"That thing, they say only those with strong abilities and a good rapport with teammates can apply for it. As for us... we can only hope for luck."
Actually, Wen Xishu wanted one pretty badly. He could ask Albert for it, but Albert isn’t around right now, and he doesn’t know how many the principal has.
Xiaojin, on the other hand, was thinking that the name Miyamoto Yishu sounded somewhat familiar. But after thinking for a while, he couldn’t place it and didn’t know which small figure it was.
His attention then shifted to the items:
"Do you all want to climb the tower together? If you want, I can help!"
Wen Xishu was stunned, and Yue Yun and Nissen also looked at Xiaojin in surprise.
"You can help? Bro, that’s a purple item, and there are four of us. We’d need two sets of purple items. Though your family might be rich, don’t brag too much. Let’s all work hard and get stronger, then we can hit the road together!" Nissen said.
Wen Xishu rolled his eyes. More and more quirky people were showing up at the dorm. Why was there no one normal like himself with a kind heart and a normal speech pattern?
Xiaojin wanted to make a grand gesture to praise Nissen, but his act was interrupted.
"You can get it?" Wen Xishu asked quickly.
Xiaojin nodded:
"No problem. Theoretically, as long as the Bunker has enough stock, it’s all doable!"
Yue Yun seemed suspicious:
"Won’t the logistics department disagree?"
Xiaojin shook his head:
"I’m not going through the logistics department. I’ll ask my grandpa."
Nissen couldn’t help but ask:
"Bro, is your grandpa that rich?"
Xiaojin wasn’t sure how to answer:
"I think... I think he’s quite wealthy, but I haven’t seen him spend much money."
Wen Xishu was sure of one thing: Xiaojin’s grandfather was the same Old Jin, who was the old principal Albert had angrily mentioned on the phone that day.
Xiaojin didn’t want to say more, probably hinting his background wasn’t simple.
Wen Xishu said: "Alright, if you can get it, we can go as early as tomorrow."
Xiaojin was obviously excited:
"No problem! Wow, I used to go to the Slaughter Tower alone, now I can go with everyone, that’s awesome!"
Yue Yun and Nissen asked:
"How many times have you been to the Slaughter Tower?"
"Ah... I forgot. But I’m currently at the seventeenth level." Xiaojin remembered his grandpa said not to brag about his tower climbing count.
He thought about it, so he mentioned the level instead. To be safe, he lowered the level a bit to seventeen.
This number left Nissen and Yue Yun in shock. Even Wen Xishu hadn’t expected it. Xiaojin, clearly under eighteen... had already climbed to the seventeenth level alone.
This number truly stunned the three of them.
Now, Wen Xishu seemed to understand why Xiaojin’s grandpa wanted him to learn to praise others. This was a real genius. Xiaojin’s grandpa probably didn’t want him to be too arrogant.
Wen Xishu was slightly surprised but didn’t pay much attention. After all, he was also a genius.
But Yue Yun was highly shocked.
Even Miyamoto Yishu, the highest level he reached was only the ninth level. But Xiaojin had reached the seventeenth level... What did that mean?
Everyone starts climbing the tower at the age of eighteen, so why the huge gap?
He and Nissen, although their highest level was the seventh, needed to honestly climb many times to reach above the seventh level.
But Xiaojin had already reached the seventeenth level.
"I must work harder... What am I doing? I’ve been thinking about resting more before climbing the tower again... Damn it, there are so many monsters in this world. If I don’t work hard, how will I surpass them?"
At that moment, Yue Yun made up his mind to enter the Slaughter Tower the latest by tomorrow.
Nissen, startled for a moment, said:
"Jin, you’re amazing! You’re really amazing! If we team up with you... won’t you take us to some dangerous levels?"
Unlike the Desire Tower, where the first twenty levels aren’t dangerous, the Slaughter Tower is life-threatening from the very first level.
So if everyone wore the Brotherhood Wristband, Xiaojin might indeed pull the others to higher initial levels.
You can rely on luck or wits to solve some problems in Deceit Tower, but in Slaughter Tower, each level is genuinely tougher than the last.
Xiaojin’s smile almost fell. His actual level was higher than seventeen. If he led them to unreachable places, there would be issues.
