Wen Xishu and Liu Jinsen still didn’t know...
The director of the third bureau, that white woman with a high, prominent nose, had already died in her luxurious villa on the ninth floor.
The death was extremely tragic, with not a piece of flesh intact, almost as if she had been beaten into a pulp by someone’s bare fists.
Currently, the only ones aware of this are the directors of the second and sixth bureaus from the Security Bureau. Of course, there are higher-ups... the Elder Council.
After exchanging a few more words, Wen Xishu and Liu Jinsen hung up the phone.
Liu Jinsen was quite troubled, only hoping that Wen Xishu would keep a low profile during this Slaughter Tower mission. The Deceit Tower could rely on wits, but the Slaughter Tower, which required brute strength, surely couldn’t afford too much commotion, right?
At this point, Liu Jinsen still didn’t know that accompanying Wen Xishu to climb the tower was none other than Xun Hui, the number one person in the Slaughter Tower.
...
...
Three Towers Academy.
In the garden of the Desire Tower Academy District, Wen Xishu arrived fashionably late.
By the time he arrived, Yue Yun, Nissen, Xiaojin, and Xun Hui were already waiting for him.
Xun Hui said:
"Dragging your feet again. Even climbing a tower takes you this long. Do you know what to do? The Slaughter Tower is just like the Deceit Tower."
Wen Xishu thought to himself, big guy, even if you have a grudge against my brother, and he betrayed your friendship with Brother Jing... there’s no need to be so blatant, right?
Saying that the Slaughter Tower is just like the Deceit Tower was simply too direct.
Xiaojin, Nissen, and Yue Yun all stared straight at Wen Xishu, with Nissen exclaiming:
"Bro! Man! You actually went to the Deceit Tower? That’s so cool, when we come back this time, you have to tell me all about it."
Wen Xishu couldn’t deny it.
Xun Hui said:
"We’re all brothers who can trust each other with our lives, there’s no need to be so secretive."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, I was climbing the Deceit Tower before. Actually, this is my first time going to the Slaughter Tower."
Xun Hui meant no harm, he just had a very straightforward way of doing things.
His usual belief was — "As long as I’m invincible, any conspiracy is useless."
Over the years, the Miyamoto Family had been using various methods to try to surpass the Xun Family in reputation.
The Xun Family had also been actively responding, competing with each other in various businesses in the Bunker. Xun Hui completely disregarded these things.
He knew, as long as he could climb to the 60th floor, it would be more effective than any methods.
So he didn’t care if Wen Xishu’s identity was exposed. He only engaged in the most basic concealment, just admitting that you are Wenxun.
But other details, he wouldn’t deliberately think about how to cover them up. If it was exposed, then it was exposed. If you can’t deal with the trash in the Bunker, do you even deserve to be my teammate?
Wen Xishu could understand this overly straightforward mindset of the number one person in the Slaughter Tower.
Yue Yun became increasingly convinced of his guess —
Xun Hui taking Wenxun to climb the Slaughter Tower, Wen Xishu taking Wenxun to climb the Deceit Tower... With such treatment, it seemed reasonable that Wenren Mirror would also take him to climb the Desire Tower.
So Miyamoto Yishu... actually wasn’t the one with the most impressive background. The real big shot, the one truly worth surpassing, was my roommate?
"Alright, let’s get started," Wen Xishu said.
Xun Hui said:
"Hmm, let’s all activate. I’ll explain anything you need to pay attention to in the rest area."
Xun Hui and Wen Xishu both activated their login devices, and even Xiaojin, rarely, showed some excitement and activated his login device.
Yue Yun and Nissen were somewhat anxious and nervous, but they quickly followed suit.
Everyone was curious about what level they would head to this time, influenced by Senior Xun Hui.
Soon, they received a familiar prompt, which left them all shocked by its content.
Upon seeing that exaggerated number, no matter how much courage they had mustered beforehand, they would start to feel a heart of fear.
Additionally, Wen Xishu had a process that others didn’t.
Mad Dice.
...
[Welcome to the Three Towers game. You are about to enter the rest area.]
[Current target level: Floor 52. (Due to the special connection item Comrade Bracers, the level of this climb will be set based on the highest floor climbed by the team members.)]
[Special item ’Mad Dice’ detected. Do you want to roll the dice?]
52nd floor.
This number indeed made Wen Xishu feel both surprised and reasonable. Though he expected it to be around the forties or fifties, seeing the number still brought surprise.
Will this level have normal monsters?
It could be foreseen that on the 52nd floor, even a slight mistake could lead them into a danger comparable to Jiangcheng Fourth Mental Hospital.
In Wen Xishu’s view, the last doctor to appear in Jiangcheng Fourth Mental Hospital was definitely not the most dangerous one in the hospital.
As time goes on, increasingly powerful monsters will appear. And that doctor already had the power to instantly kill Wang Ying, Zheng Zai, and others.
The 52nd floor will definitely be even more perilous.
But Wen Xishu didn’t mind much, as he had formed a team aiming for high levels.
He was more concerned about the result of the Mad Dice.
This time, the dice rolled a sequence.
Four, five, six.
The options presented in Wen Xishu’s vision were as follows.
[1: Big Number Bias. (Triggered when each dice number is greater than three. The probability of all events will increase, whether it’s bad luck or good fortune.)]
[2: Good Things Come in Pairs. (Triggered when at least two dice show even numbers. Effect: +1 option. This option does not consume any option chance.)]
[3: Smooth Sailing. (Triggered when the dice show a consecutive sequence. Effect: Your actions in the Three Towers will become exceptionally smooth. Reflected as: halving the consumption of combat skills in the Slaughter Tower, increasing the speed of combat skill execution. No need to set up bonfires to reduce Slaughter Value for a short time. Greatly reduced Anti-Magic Value requirement, significantly increased Luck Value.)]
