"Awesome people do awesome things, huh? I thought this kid was in trouble with Xun Hui at the time."
Whoever heard of a newcomer climbing the tower, going straight for the top rank? In a place like that, any random monster could kill a newbie instantly.
But now, Atreus thinks everything makes sense.
"I need to talk to the boss."
Realizing the opportunities of the times, Atreus believed it was necessary to further increase efforts to cooperate with the assault team.

Wen Xishu was already in the principal’s office.
He was ready to start climbing the tower.
The Great Devouring seemed to be a few days away, so he should have enough time to climb the tower one more time.
"It’s like the whole world is talking about me, but I’m happily in a virtual world."
Wen Xishu quite enjoyed this feeling.
He didn’t think he needed to give speeches or find ways to "monetize" his fame.
The existence of the Three Towers made the social structure of the dark Bunker, with its massive inequities, fair in one huge way—fighting for honor.
So he knew very well that the number of tower levels you climb represents your true social status. Everything else is just an illusion.
"According to the old principal, the guide usually gives a warning about a week in advance, and I can only stay in the Three Towers for a week at most."
"Theoretically, when I get back, the Great Devouring won’t have arrived yet. Even if it appears, such a disaster can’t be resolved in a day or two."
"And at this time, if I could bring back enough substantial rewards... even if the Great Devouring arrived early, I might still be able to boost morale."
Thinking of this, Wen Xishu found some paper and pen in the office, wrote down his reasons for climbing the tower as a simple report, and then...
He took out the login device. The Deceit Tower login device showed a 5, and the Slaughter Tower login device showed a 1.
He had climbed the tower six times in total, and this was his seventh time.
"Looks like I have a destiny with the number seven... Wonder what kind of journey this time will be."
Wen Xishu confirmed his items: Phoenix Gloves · Release, Scorpio Cheat Dagger, Pseudo · Destiny Compass, these three must not be forgotten, and the Killer Soccer Ball, an offensive item, should not be forgotten either.
For the last slot, after much thought, he chose the Adventure Goblet.
After confirming the five items, Wen Xishu activated the login device.
The sixth journey in the Deceit Tower began.
...
...
As Wen Xishu started climbing the tower, he didn’t know that Xiaojin Yue Yun and others were still thinking about going back to the dormitory to have a good chat with him.
Undoubtedly, his behavior of starting to climb the tower again just a few hours after returning would profoundly shock them.
But Wen Xishu couldn’t care less about that.
[Welcome to the Three Towers game, about to enter the rest area.]
[Based on your completion level 6 of level 6 in normal order challenges, the current maximum level you can reach is 18. The fluctuation range is 11 to 18. But you can also go to the guide to choose a downward Tower level (for detailed rules, consult the guide.)]
[Detected special item "Mad Dice." Do you want to roll it?]
Wen Xishu certainly wouldn’t give up rolling the mad dice.
But this time there weren’t many options. It was a number he had rolled before.
One. One. One.
The red, black, and white dice all showed the smallest number.
[1: The Three Highs. (Tower level x3, triggered when all three dice show the same number.)]
[2: Triforce. (Allows simultaneous use of three tower system abilities and rules, triggered when all three dice show the same number.)]
[3: Minimalism. (You will be regarded as having lost all experience and abilities, as simple and pure as a level one newcomer, but at the reward settlement, you will also get extra bonuses like a newcomer. Note: Only Anti-Magic Value, Luck Value, and Slaughter Value upper limits and various Three Towers attributes will be forcibly reset to newcomer status. However, items and sequences can be used normally.)]
[Reunion: When you roll previously rolled results for the second time, you will get two extra options.]
Wen Xishu didn’t expect that Minimalism would give him another chance to be a newcomer.
There are many benefits to being a newcomer. After all, the first time as a newcomer, encountering the Three Highs, he was given four extra item slots.
If he chose minimalism, undoubtedly the rewards would be extremely rich this time. But undoubtedly, the exploration difficulty would also increase...
Wen Xishu didn’t have much time to choose.
"Reunion... makes sense. I haven’t rolled the same numbers before, so this option can provide even more exaggerated rewards than Good Things Come in Pairs."
"But the description of Reunion states that if I roll the same result for the third time...is there still a Reunion effect?"
"Seems like it needs to be verified in the future."
With Reunion, Wen Xishu could choose all three options.
Minimalism’s temptation was great; it was akin to reliving the limited-time newcomer status he had missed before.
But with items and the Triforce, Wen Xishu felt it wouldn’t be more challenging than his first experience reaching the twenty-first level.
The biggest question now was whether to choose the Three Highs.
He could give up this additional choice and not select it.
The Three Highs meant Wen Xishu’s level range would shift from floors 11 to 18 to floors 33 to 54.
to 54...
"If I did choose it, combined with the ’newcomer’ trait, the reward would be insane. Maybe this time, the Anti-Magic Value could reach 50 points."
Thinking about how this pace would once again exceed Albert’s expectations... at this critical moment, that craziness in him arose again, like wingsuit flying, standing at the edge of a valley, about to leap off.
