(It’s time for some late-night updates again.)
Desire Tower Rest Area.
Wen Xishu came to this place once again. Unlike last time, the sixth level was a tier that most people could reach.
Below the twentieth level of Desire Tower, these areas were essentially risk-free.
Those familiar shouting voices appeared again.
"Looking for Miyazaki Takaō’s bending strategy!"
"Twelfth level, selling tips for the ’Destroying Jingdong in Business Battle’ task, only need a stand-up comedian! Guaranteed effective, come to me for names!"
Wen Xishu couldn’t help but marvel at how wonderful the atmosphere was in the Desire Tower rest area.
It is worth mentioning that, after most people arrive in the rest area of a certain region, they are reluctant to leave that area.
After all, each region indicates similar levels, and during the short hour, everyone would certainly prefer to communicate and team up with people at similar levels.
Of course, a few would venture to rest areas of higher levels to seek some opinions from experienced individuals.
But this is rare.
However, Wen Xishu did plan to take a look at the Celestial Essence district.
Along the way, he spotted quite a few students from Desire Tower Academy. These students were eager to flaunt their Three Towers Academy student ID cards, both men and women.
Wen Xishu did not care and continued towards Celestial Essence district, wondering if he might encounter anyone interesting.
He had little interest in academy students unless there was a Deceit Tower Academy in the future.
He quickly reached the Celestial Essence district.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xishu ran into some acquaintances this time.
"Yo, young man, what a surprise to see you again."
The man speaking was still all smiles, making him seem very approachable.
The woman beside him was still as frosty as before but nodded with a smile upon seeing Wen Xishu.
Coincidentally, these were the very two people Wen Xishu had met last time—
Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan.
Wen Xishu also smiled:
"Seeing you two again, I’m just here for a stroll this time. What level are you two at this time?"
Liu Ruyan replied:
"Twenty-sixth level."
Wen Xishu remembered that Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan sold various strategy information and thought about asking for some advice.
Unlike last time, Wen Xishu had received an invitation and directly knew the task target was Desire·Jennifer.
This time, the invitation was given at the start, so he didn’t unlock the task target’s name.
He would only get clues upon entering Desire Tower World.
So Wen Xishu asked:
"Do you two have any information this time? I’d like to inquire about some strategies."
Ji Bodah laughed:
"Little friend, are you planning to exchange strategies for strategies again this time?"
Wen Xishu suddenly noticed another thing. It was the brooch pinned to Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan’s chest.
"You two... are teachers at Desire Tower Academy?"
Ji Bodah nodded with satisfaction:
"Last time I was wondering why such an excellent young man like you wasn’t in our academy."
"Since you can recognize our accessories, I assume you’re from Desire Tower Academy as well?"
Wen Xishu did not answer this question but asked another:
"Did you borrow some items from the Supply Department? Why do you two always end up teamed together?"
Liu Ruyan and Ji Bodah became more convinced that this kid was indeed from Desire Tower Academy.
Liu Ruyan’s expression softened significantly:
"Purple item, Mandarin Duck Lock. It allows two individuals of different genders to enter the same area to execute the same task. Must be used before entering the Three Towers."
Wen Xishu gained some knowledge:
"Is this item owned by you two or Old Principal Albert?"
Ji Bodah replied:
"It’s ours. My wife and I obtained this item after completing ten consecutive tasks related to love."
"It’s said there is also a Comrade Wrist, which has a similar effect but is limited to the same gender."
"It seems Old Principal possesses that item."
Wen Xishu suddenly smiled:
"Suppose, just suppose, as an academy student, can I borrow this item from you two?"
Ji Bodah laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, that’s not possible, the Supply Department has asked us for it multiple times, and we refused to lend it out."
"Desire Tower Academy’s culture isn’t quite right... lately, students increasingly prefer shortcuts. This culture of taking shortcuts has fostered other unhealthy tendencies."
"Exploring Desire Tower is a sacred endeavor. Other items are fine, but those that allow men and women to enter the same area together, you students... would only use it for that kind of thing."
Wen Xishu could guess what that kind of thing was.
Like saying "Come, let’s book a room in Desire Tower World."
Liu Ruyan also added:
"Though exploring Desire Tower is simple, it shouldn’t be trivialized. Desire Tower Academy’s kids fall short in this compared to Slaughter Tower Academy’s."
Due to the lack of a sense of crisis. Wen Xishu assessed internally.
He decided not to delay any longer and asked:
"I am indeed a student of Three Towers Academy, but this time I have no information to exchange, and I really want to know the strategy for a certain area in the sixth level of Jiangcheng."
Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, surprised by this young man’s large tower leap.
At the same time, they decided to ask the question they hadn’t asked last time:
"Little friend, what completion level did you achieve last time?"
This was a crucial question. Wen Xishu thought, if I say level six...
That would be basically self-destructive, right?
But saying level five or four doesn’t seem appropriate either, as he wasn’t sure if the Bunker recently had any level five or four facilities appear.
