Wen Xishu said:
"Is there anything we must do right now? I’m just going back to the dorm to change clothes and take a shower, then I’m heading to the storage area. Life shouldn’t be wasted in the Bunker, climbing the tower is so much fun."
Nissen: ...
Xiaojin: ...
Yue Yun: ...
The three felt a sense of powerlessness.
Yue Yun suddenly felt that theoretical knowledge didn’t seem that important. Xiaojin suddenly felt that he had been too slack. Nissen also felt that the bed no longer seemed that attractive.
Wen Xishu hummed a tune from his previous life, The Clock in the Opposite Direction, and started bathing. Before long, he came out of the bathroom and changed into clean clothes.
Then he was really ready to leave.
"After I spoke up, it became more convenient. I used to always avoid you guys, but now it’s good. I don’t have to hide anymore. Brothers, let’s chat when I get back. I’m about to go climb the tower."
Wen Xishu said and left.
At this moment, it had been less than two hours since Wen Xishu, Yue Yun, and the others had returned from the 52nd floor of the Slaughter Tower.
"He... he gives me the feeling that he’s going to live in the Three Towers. Wow, Brother Wen is really discouraging." Xiaojin was really startled this time.
Yue Yun was silent for a moment, then said:
"Nissen, do you want to climb the tower now?"
Nissen actually wanted to say... I want to lie down for a while bro, after all, I had been roasting by the fire in the Slaughter Tower World for three days.
But thinking of Wenxun’s tower climbing speed, he nodded:
"If Wen spent those days he was missing climbing the tower... then each time he comes back, the interval is getting shorter and shorter. This means his climbing frequency is getting faster."
"He used to at least rest for a day... but this time, he actually just came back to chat for a bit, take a shower, and left again. It’s like he came back just to check in. God, Xiaoyun, I really want to rest, but he makes me feel that rest is disgraceful."
Yue Yun thought the same. Wenxun’s climbing frequency was getting shorter and shorter. At this rate, he was really worried that Wenxun wouldn’t show up in the Bunker one day.
But Yue Yun also noticed the results of Wenxun’s hard work.
"Maybe only someone like him can gain the favor of important figures like the old principal and Senior Xun. Wenxun’s talent is stronger than mine, I admit it, but he even puts more effort and determination into climbing the tower than us. If I can accept that, then I would really become a clown who only talks."
"Xiaojin, can we borrow the same-arm bracers again for me and Nissen?"
Xiaojin naturally heard the conversation between the two. It’s really scary, the dorm of a talent freak and a grind king, making one feel that staying in the dorm is a sin.
Before coming here, he himself had been a genius. But now, Xiaojin felt how ordinary he was.
He nodded:
"Wow, Brother Yun, Brother Nissen, take me along too."
Yue Yun shook his head:
"I don’t want to roast by the fire anymore, Xiaojin. You have better talent than Nissen and me, and your level is higher too. With us along, we might be the ones being taken care of. Sorry, winning by lying down is a torment for someone like me."
Xiaojin nodded reluctantly:
"Alright, alright, you’re leaving me alone to climb the tower? That’s too lonely, but I’ll give you the same-arm bracers."
Xiaojin’s generosity surprised both Nissen and Yue Yun. What kind of background does he have, giving away purple items directly.
Yue Yun silently remembered this favor. He’s the kind of person who, even if the gift is insignificant to others, as long as it’s useful to him, it absolutely deserves gratitude.
And if he finds it precious, he will certainly repay it in the future.
Yue Yun and Nissen quickly left the dorm.
Being alone in the dorm, Xiaojin felt a bit lonely. But now, he truly felt that his grandfather was right to send him here.
Everyone here is worth learning from.
...
...
The storage area.
Wen Xishu came to the storage area, not really to think about what items to bring.
All this still depends on the dice roll and the task.
Currently, the items Wen Xishu carries regularly are the Phoenix Gloves, Scorpion Knife, and Pseudo Destiny Compass.
Other items must be arranged based on specific situations. But this time, Wen Xishu came to the storage area mainly to store that drop of black blood.
The Black Coffin Blood came from over fifty floors and was from a monster nearly stepping into the Red Room level.
Furthermore, it had side effects and was consumable. All the buffs stacked together made Wen Xishu feel like he was holding a nuclear bomb.
Wen Xishu felt that this item should be used during a level-seven task, something that could turn the tide at a crucial moment.
He had to store it well.
After storing the Black Coffin Blood, Wen Xishu prepared to head to the Principal’s office.
On his way to the Principal’s office, Wen Xishu saw that academy genius, Miyamoto Yishu, who Yue Yun and Nissen were so concerned about.
This was outside the supplies department. As Wen Xishu walked towards the Principal’s office, Miyamoto Yishu’s gaze was like a sharp sword, staring straight at Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu politely returned a smile.
Originally thinking it would end there, but just as they passed by each other, Miyamoto Yishu suddenly whispered:
"Wen Xishu, do you want to know what Wen Chaohua did?"
Wen Xishu looked bewildered, glanced at Miyamoto Yishu with some confusion, and then continued walking.
His reaction was like someone suddenly being spoken to by a stranger whose words made no sense.
But Miyamoto Yishu continued:
"The other seniors couldn’t find out about you because they didn’t even know you existed."
"But our Miyamoto Family is one of the Six Great Families. Wen Xishu, you can play dumb, but we won’t let Wen Chaohua off for what he has done!"
Wen Xishu then turned back, still looking puzzled, and said:
"Classmate? You’re from the Miyamoto Family, right? Were you just talking to me?"
"I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. Sorry, I’ll be going now."
Wen Xishu really walked away after saying that, as if he wasn’t curious at all about what Wen Chaohua had done.
Miyamoto Yishu was actually uncertain. Seeing Wenxun’s reaction made him even more unsure. Could it be, this person really isn’t Wen Xishu?
Xun Hui taking Wen Xishu, Nissen, and the others to the Slaughter Tower had given Miyamoto Yishu quite a shock.
As one of the Six Great Families, the Miyamoto Family, on par with the Xun Family, naturally wouldn’t ignore potential adversaries.
They wouldn’t overlook someone Xun Hui trained with personally.
Thus, during the few days Wen Xishu and the others were at the Slaughter Tower, the Miyamoto Family had been investigating.
Yue Yun and Nissen had simple backgrounds, but entered the academy with full marks, which was worth noting and cultivating but not worrying.
Golden Flash, with a simple background, was a relative of Jabbar from the administration office, unnecessary to be concerned about.
But Wenxun’s information shocked Miyamoto Yishu the most.
[Wenxun has appeared with Jabbar multiple times, heading to the Principal’s office. Based on some intelligence from the Security Bureau, we speculate this person might be the younger brother of the heinous criminal Wen Chaohua, Wen Xishu. But it still needs verification.]
Miyamoto Yishu’s probing this time yielded no results.
He thought he could trick Wen Xishu, but Wen Xishu’s level was evidently far higher than he anticipated.
