He hoped that after his death, someone could take up the mantle of the Bunker.
Albert said:
"What’s your Anti-Magic Value now?"
"28 points," Wen Xishu answered honestly.
Albert was slightly surprised but then felt relieved. This kid was progressing even faster than Wen Chaohua.
But on second thought, it made sense.
That attitude of climbing the Deceit Tower and immediately starting again without resting, combined with a consistent completion level of six, made it reasonable...
"It’s only been such a short time, and you’ve already completed half the tasks. I thought reaching fifty points in your Anti-Magic Value would take until midterm. But unexpectedly, it’s only been a month."
It had been a month since Wen Xishu first climbed the Deceit Tower.
A month ago, he was a death row convict. Now, he was a prominent figure in the Bunker.
"If the guide gave you the information, generally within ten days, the Great Devourer will appear."
"You’ve had a great first month. Shedding your death row identity and gaining some attention in the Bunker, no, a lot of attention. Especially in the lower levels, the two most populated layers, everyone is talking about you."
"In the second month, if during the Great Devourer you can outperform me, then you will be the undisputed hero of the Bunker."
Albert had high hopes for Wen Xishu. Jabbar noticed that the principal had different expectations for Wen.
Wen Xishu said:
"Can I reclaim my name now? Recently, I brought back a library."
Albert had already heard Jabbar’s report but was still delighted:
"Actually, you were qualified to reclaim your name once your Anti-Magic Value exceeded 25 points. You are now the top person in the Deceit Tower."
"Since you and Wen Chaohua, the highest Anti-Magic Value was only 25 points."
These words somewhat revealed the number of people exploring the Deceit Tower.
Which means, currently, he was truly the number one in the Deceit Tower.
"This is... too few."
Albert sighed:
"The Deceit Tower emerged late, with a high mortality rate. The Bunker Security Bureau arranged a large-scale infiltration of ’undercover agents’ into the Deceit Tower to uncover your secrets, but the survival rate was less than eleven percent."
"And there had never been a large-scale Deceit Tower Assault Team formed until recently, under my persuasion."
Upon mentioning the Deceit Tower Assault Team, the old principal obviously got excited, remembering something else:
"Child, you can reclaim your name now. Your library arrived just in time. Libraries, hospitals, travel agencies—these facilities can greatly help the lower-level people understand the Three-Tower World."
"I believe the time is ripe. Are you ready?"
Wen Xishu realized that if he said he was ready, then starting today, the new legend of the Bunker—who Wen Xishu really was—would be made public.
Albert looked at Wen Xishu, waiting for his answer.
Wen Xishu said:
"If my Anti-Magic Value reaches 50 points, do you have plans for me?"
Albert nodded:
"Of course. If your Anti-Magic Value reaches 50 points, I assume you will fully understand the secrets of the Academy. By then, you will take on your responsibilities correspondingly, and I will also grant you the powers and honors you deserve in the Bunker."
Wen Xishu had guessed it but did not expect that the old principal would be so straightforward. Was he planning to... make him the principal of the Deceit Tower Academy?
Albert’s insight was sharp, almost seeing through Wen Xishu’s thoughts. He indeed did not hide anything, saying directly in front of Jabbar:
"I initially planned that by midterm, with your Anti-Magic Value exceeding 25 points, you reclaim your name, and let everyone in the lower levels know your true age."
"I issued double points for exploring the Deceit Tower to ensure you lead in points significantly."
"Then by the end of the term, if your Anti-Magic Value gradually reaches 50 points, you would likely be the first to uncover the Academy’s treasure secrets."
"At that time, you would no longer be a student. Your points would certainly outpace other students significantly, and no student would feel discontent."
The old principal sighed here:
"The biggest problem with this plan is that I thought you might not have the capability to keep up with my pace."
"But now it seems that’s indeed the issue, but it’s my problem. I underestimated you. In a semester of four months, you achieved midterm progress in just one month, even going to the Slaughter Tower once in between."
"So, if you want to reclaim your name, you can do so completely."
Wen Xishu chuckled; the old principal had set the plan based on the standards of an exceptional genius, always worrying that Wen Xishu lacked that talent.
But compared to talent, he had a bit more of an edge.
Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then said:
"One last question, principal. If I reclaim my name, how much risk will I face?"
Albert also thought for a moment:
"You have already proven your value to me. If you want to reclaim your name, theoretically, you won’t face any risks."
"You should be aware of what we’ve been working on recently."
The Deceit Tower Academy was about to be revealed.
The Deceit Tower Assault Team had already been formed.
The third director of the Bunker Security Bureau was killed...
These events have reminded many; those who block the trend will die. And once Wen Xishu reclaims his name, he would inevitably receive Albert’s favor and protection from the Deceit Tower Assault Team.
