On the journey through the Deceit Tower, he would encounter many strange people who might appear dramatically at the moment but inexplicably die within the Deceit Tower.
The same goes for the bunker; one day, Xiaojin, Yue Yun, Nissen, and Xun Hui might also die.
All relationships in life ultimately end with farewells.
Wen Xishu felt that he and Blind would most likely never meet again, after all, he didn’t have the code to turn zombies back into humans.
Zhang Hai and Kate as well; Wen Xishu did not think he would encounter them again.
He didn’t really care.
Unlike others, most people would return to the bunker soon after completing their missions.
This time, Wen Xishu had to actively choose to leave. Wind City would not reject its owner.
In Wen Xishu’s vision, there was an interface similar to the one Scorpio created back then.
[Login Game]
[Exit Game]
Without a doubt, this journey was heavily influenced by Scorpio’s style.
Wen Xishu had already begun to anticipate which constellation he would encounter next and what style it would be.
He decisively chose to exit the game.
Unlike before, this time Wen Xishu only received one person’s affinity.
[Affinity with Scorpio +5.]
[You have attracted the attention of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.]
This time, Wen Xishu did not unlock any recruitment slots. Because this time, there was no character like Slaughter John.
For some inexplicable reason, it made Wen Xishu a bit sad.
As for the collective attention from all the other constellations, Wen Xishu was not surprised because... very likely, the real world had undergone significant changes during this Deceit Tower journey.
...
...
The apocalypse survival journey finally ended.
In Wen Xishu’s eyes, it was no longer the prosperous or ruined Wind City; when he opened his eyes, it felt like he had entered Catherine’s room, seeing many doors.
The black Deceitful Head chuckled sinisterly, "Dee-dee-dee-dee, you sure caused quite a stir."
Wen Xishu said:
"What kind of stir?"
The black Deceitful Head:
"Hard to say, can’t really say, it’s better not said."
Wen Xishu directly ignored the guide and began to check his attribute panel.
[Codename: Wen Xishu.]
[Slaughter Tower level: 15. Slaughter Value cap: 170.]
[Deceit Tower level: 20. Anti-Magic Value: 28 points.]
[Desire Tower level: 21. Luck Value: 30 points.]
[Number of sequence slots: 2. Owned sequences: Deceit Sequence 37 · Mental Barrage. This sequence is non-transferable.
Slaughter Sequence 199 · Extreme Kick. This sequence can be traded.]
[Three Towers item slot: Five slots.]
Usually, Desire Tower and Deceit Tower would be aligned, but suddenly the Desire Tower level was higher, which surprised Wen Xishu:
"What’s going on here? I’m someone who climbs the Deceit Tower, and now the Desire Tower level is the highest?"
The guide said:
"All of this comes from the people you interacted with in the Desire Tower. The higher their position, the more experience points you can gain. Although it’s unreasonable, this time the danger rating in the Desire Tower for you was one of no return."
"Which means, if it were anyone else, they would likely die in the Desire Tower."
"However, you paid a sufficiently high price."
Wen Xishu was puzzled:
"What price?"
The black Deceitful Head chuckled:
"You can claim not to belong to any god... but if you become the owner of a territory, everyone will assume you have already made a choice."
Wen Xishu understood this phrase.
He suddenly realized that within Scorpio’s eyes, John was merely a tool; the master is a powerful presence, a terrifying creature that even strong characters like Xun Hui must avoid.
But to Scorpio, it was just a part of a plan.
Now, Scorpio felt that sacrificing this piece and replacing it with something else would be more interesting, so he did it.
On the surface, he became the owner of Wind City, achieving great success in this game like Emperor Qin Shi Huang eating pepper and winning big. But the price for all this had already been marked.
"No wonder it suddenly attracted the attention of so many constellations... Do they all think I... defected to Scorpio?"
The black Deceitful Head chuckled:
"I am truly looking forward to your next journey."
Wen Xishu said:
"What’s my completion rate this time?"
"Of course, it’s level six. You have earned the chance to select a facility."
Wen Xishu said:
"Is there a library in the bunker? About the Three-Tower World."
The black Deceitful Head shook his head:
"You know, that’s a very unpopular facility. People in the bunker don’t like reading."
Wen Xishu had his answer:
"Then let’s open a library on the second floor. Is there such a building? What’s different about a level six library compared to an ordinary library?"
The black Deceitful Head frowned slightly, not expecting Wen Xishu to choose this:
"There are so many buildings to choose from, why insist on a library? A level six library has an astonishing collection and grants readers attributes like ’Focus,’ ’Enlightenment,’ and ’Strong Memory.’"
"Actually, there is, with the maximum existence of facilities being three. There is one on the twelfth floor of the bunker."
So, there is one already.
But undoubtedly, how many people would go to the twelfth floor? Wen Xishu said:
"The bunker is about to form a Deceit Tower Assault Team; I think this will be something you’re happy about, right?"
The black Deceitful Head nodded:
"Of course, I want as many achievements as possible."
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Then it’s settled. In my view, understanding the knowledge of the Three-Tower World is crucial, and it’s beneficial for tackling the Deceit Tower, and even more so for the Desire Tower. People may not dislike reading; it’s just that if reading requires going to the twelfth floor, it becomes quite extravagant."
