[4: Unobstructed Passage. (Triggered when at least one of the three dice shows six points. If there are multiple sixes, the number of passes increases. Effect: You will receive an invitation directly at the start. Since you cannot get an invitation this time in the Slaughter Tower, the invitation will be stored and automatically accumulated when you reach the 52nd floor of the Deceit Tower.)]
[5: Sequential Combo. (Triggered when the three dice show consecutive numbers, with two of them being even. Effect: You can use the rules of any two towers simultaneously.)]
[6: Cap. (Triggered when the points are four, five, and six consecutively. Effect: When you are below the 40th floor, any damage you receive per second will not exceed 45% of your maximum health. When you are between the 40th and 50th floors, any damage you receive per second will not exceed 54% of your maximum health. When you are between the 50th and 60th floors, any damage you receive per second will not exceed 66% of your maximum health.)
When you are above the 60th floor, you will no longer receive any damage reduction, but you will gain a high amount of experience.]
Six options, removing the option of double good fortunes, Wen Xishu faced the classic choose-two-out-of-five dilemma.
Wen Xishu quickly chose the first option, Sequential Combo.
This was also the option he deemed most necessary after the Trinity Power. This way, he can use the sequences and items of the Deceit Tower within the Slaughter Tower.
In this way, the orange item, True Killer Soccer, would have its use.
But the remaining options left Wen Xishu in a slight dilemma.
Sleek Option, where the skill consumption in the Slaughter Tower is halved, the skill release speed is faster, and for a short time, there’s no need to light a bonfire. These are almost exclusive attributes for the Slaughter Tower.
And the new option, Cap, was especially designed for over-leveled challenges. With the Cap, one wouldn’t have to worry about getting instantly killed against formidable enemies.
These two options were the most troublesome for Wen Xishu.
As for the 52nd-floor invitation, it did not attract Wen Xishu much. He thought that by reaching the 52nd floor, he could find an invitation on his own skills.
The Big Number Tendency seemed somewhat of a gamble, unclear about the probability data in the Slaughter Tower, Wen Xishu didn’t consider it.
In the end, he didn’t choose the Cap, because although Cap could prevent death from receiving high damage in one second,
he couldn’t just endure one second of hits from these monsters. After thinking it over, Wen Xishu finally chose Sequential Combo and Sleek.
...
...
Slaughter Tower’s resting area, Celestial Essence District.
Despite their first entry into the Slaughter Tower’s rest area with Nissen and Yue Yun gazing at the Celestial Essence District, looking at who had climbed to the highest levels...
But appearing directly in the Celestial Essence District, the feeling was entirely different.
Xiaojin said:
"Wow, the people here... all look so healthy!"
Yue Yun replied:
"Xiaojin, if you don’t know how to compliment, you don’t have to."
Nissen waved his hands excitedly:
"Bro, we’re attracting a lot of attention, right now we’re the center of attraction!"
Indeed, many eyes turned towards Wen Xishu and the others, because Nissen, Yue Yun, and Wen Xishu were too young, and Xiaojin looked like a child.
Even though Xun Hui was only a few years older than Wen Xishu, he still looked very young.
Seeing such a young group wearing the same wristband appearing in the center of the resting area was indeed surprising.
Especially since not long ago, the people in the center were experts who had reached the 37th floor.
To push someone who reached the 37th floor out of the Celestial Essence District wasn’t something many could do. So soon, people were curious to see who was so formidable.
Xun Hui didn’t expect to meet someone familiar here.
"Damn, I was wondering who was so capable to push me out; turns out it’s you, this fierce guy. Xun Hui, the sun must be rising from the Bunker; you’re actually teaming up with people."
The person had a high ponytail but was not a woman. Instead, he was a muscular man wearing sunglasses, with a very exaggerated x-shaped scar on his face.
Such an appearance made Wen Xishu think of two words, bandit. The type of bandit who carries a Gatling gun and looks so fierce it would scare children to tears.
Xun Hui said:
"So it’s you, Atreus. Let me introduce, the 15th on the Celestial Ladder List, strategist of the Stone Gambling Association, Atreus."
The Stone Gambling Association?
Wen Xishu thought it was quite a coincidence, encountering members of the Stone Gambling Association again.
And this muscular appearance, you tell me he’s a strategist? Although people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance, Wen Xishu still couldn’t imagine Zhang Fei waving a feather fan and smiling, saying he had a clever plan.
If this muscle-bound guy is a strategist, what would the top warrior responsible for fighting look like?
However, Wen Xishu was now convinced that the Stone Gambling Association was no small fry alliance.
The second in command was memorable to Xun Hui and willing to be introduced, indicating Xun Hui’s recognition... so undoubtedly, their leader must be even more commendable.
No wonder Wang Ying spoke of the Stone Gambling Association so proudly.
Xun Hui said:
"The old man asked me to take some kids out for some training. What about you? Why are you alone this time?"
Atreus chuckled:
"Just stretching my muscles a bit. A person can’t just lie at home for too long, right? By the way, since I ran into you, can I ask you about someone?"
Xun Hui nodded:
"I still have some beginner pointers to explain to the kids, so make it quick."
