Wen Xishu no longer tried to stop them:
"All right. Good luck to you all."
Yue Yun also said:
"I believe you can definitely resolve this vortex. Good luck!"
Wen Xishu asked:
"By the way, where’s Xiaojin?"
At this moment, Atreus spoke up:
"That little buddy? He said he wanted to go to the upper levels, he’s tired."
Xiaojin is tired?
Combined with some recent news Wen Xishu had received... Wen Xishu felt that Xiaojin might have learned something significant in the fear compartment.
But now was not the time to ask about all this.
"Okay, I got it." Wen Xishu nodded.
Just as Yue Yun had said, if the recommended minimum number for the vortex was 1 from the beginning, it meant that this was initially a solo mission.
It’s just that the vortex would devour people, gradually evolving into a multi-person mission.
But this mission was indeed not suitable for others.
Old Zheng, Ah Miao, Yue Yun, Nissen... all were unequivocally good people with clean records.
Ah Miao might have a bit of a shady past, but definitely not evil.
So Wen Xishu said:
"Ah Miao, Old Zheng, you two wait here for the old principal to come back and arrange something for you."
Zheng Zai thought it was very cool; Younger Brother Wen actually drove out the Five Elders?
This way of giving no face might seem to have big consequences... but damn, it felt great.
Ah Miao was simpler:
"What my lord does is always just."
They were very obedient. Following Wen Xishu to climb the tower was the best, but accepting other arrangements was also no problem.
Once Wen Xishu quickly confirmed his travel route, he left the safe house and headed toward the path to the next orange vortex.
...
...
At this moment, on the fourth level of the tower.
Here, the risk of the Great Devour was almost isolated.
As each white whirlpool descended, people sang and celebrated.
When people brought the latest news—that the new legend in the bunker had taken down a second orange vortex...
The entire fourth level was in an uproar.
People chanted Wen Xishu’s name, which resounded through the bunker!
But in a deserted corner, Miyamoto Yishu’s eyes were filled with jealousy.
"After all... isn’t the Deceit Tower just about luck? What’s the big deal about using your brain! What’s the big deal about using luck!"
"I should have been the most dazzling one among this year’s freshmen at Three Towers Academy!"
"It should have been me!"
As the hope of the Miyamoto Family, its future to contend with the Xun Family’s super genius.
So young, and already set tower-climbing records at the age just eligible for climbing. Before Wen Xishu appeared, he was far ahead of others in credits...
Possessing sequences and props, even among second-year students, he was a force to be reckoned with.
Such a person was completely ignored at this moment.
Not even as popular as Wen Xishu’s roommates.
Out of a hundred people chanting Wen Xishu’s name, several would also mention Ah Miao, Zheng Zai, Yue Yun, and others.
These lower-class people... why?
Miyamoto Yishu was so jealous that he was almost going insane.
But soon, he received a task.
"Mr. Miyamoto, please come to the fifteenth level."
The fifteenth level?
What matter required going to such a high level? The fifteenth level. Miyamoto Yishu could go, but among the six great families, except for the Patriarch, almost everyone lived on the thirteenth level.
Miyamoto Yishu quickly hung up the phone and took the elevator to the fifteenth level.
Going to the fifteenth level required "permissions." Even if regular people wanted to go, the elevator would refuse.
But this time, Miyamoto Yishu found he had obtained permission.
He quickly arrived at the fifteenth level of the bunker, a level almost entirely filled with rulers. The most luxurious buildings were on this level.
Very quickly, Miyamoto Yishu saw other members of the Miyamoto Family, his uncle, Shigeru Miyamoto.
Shigeru Miyamoto was rather obese, liked business, and disliked fighting.
He led Miyamoto Yishu to a giant palace, its building materials resembling crystal.
Deep in the palace...
Miyamoto Yishu saw someone he must look up to.
"It’s you! Elder Liu!"
Legend has it that only the Xun Family among the six great families didn’t have an "Elder." The Xun Family, originally a humble family, became one of the six great families through strong hard power and fearlessness.
The other five families, including the Wenren Family, were all controlled by an elder.
The elder Luo Feng corresponded to the Luo Family.
Matthew Jones corresponded to the Jones Clan.
The William Family’s elder was William Gordon.
The one who brought the Wenren Family into the six great families was Elder Evelyn.
The Miyamoto Family’s elder was Liu Zhizai.
Even Miyamoto Yishu rarely saw the family elder. Elders didn’t necessarily have blood relations to the family.
For example, Evelyn and the Wenren Family, Liu Zhizai and the Miyamoto Family. But ultimately, interests were inseparable.
Miyamoto Yishu respectfully knelt down.
Liu Zhizai was very pleased and said:
"I can see the jealousy in your heart, which is good. When facing someone stronger than you, you should be jealous. You should want to destroy him!"
"The Miyamoto Family needs a genius."
Miyamoto Yishu was elated. Although he didn’t know what was going to happen, he felt... the opportunity had come!
The opportunity for this top genius had come!
Liu Zhizai said:
"There are many things I cannot do myself. The affairs of young people need to be handled by young people. So, Miyamoto Yishu, I need you to become the shining star."
"After the Great Devour ends, when everyone is singing Wen Xishu’s praises, I want you to challenge Wen Xishu."
Miyamoto Yishu was shocked:
"Challenge him... can I win?"
