The attribute mirror revealed a fifth effect.
Effect 5: When the opponent’s emotions reach the extreme and mental barrages appear, you can consume a certain amount of stamina to establish mental resonance with them, acquiring additional memory attributes associated with their emotions.
Looking at the newly appeared fifth effect in the mirror, Wen Xishu understood what the runes were all about.
This was quite an extraordinary attribute.
Simply put, if someone experiences an extreme emotion like anger, then through the mental barrage, one could obtain memories associated with that emotion.
Even without the True Confession Goblet, having this attribute will make it possible to analyze the opponent by stirring their emotions in the Desire Tower in the future.
Tang Rui had really given him a great gift. Although it couldn’t compare to the sequence, it still amplified it.
"It’s similar to how sequences can be enhanced and expanded," Wen Xishu said.
The guide nodded:
"That’s right. Some sequences might seem weak, but if paired with the right runes, they can become formidable."
"Most runes increase damage, reduce mana consumption, or reduce cooldown time. These are known as general runes."
"Some sequences are not unique, so it’s possible to encounter others with the same sequence. However, runes make the performances vastly different."
"The rune you got is something else entirely. It’s an exclusive rune with sequence effects, giving your mental barrage a mixed emotions effect."
"I must tell you, the target you encountered this time matches very well with your sequence, but exclusive runes do have a drawback."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What drawback?"
The guide said:
"Not exactly a drawback, more like... it could cause awkward scenarios."
"Different bosses drop different items. If your rune were given to someone else, it might be useless to them, a worthless trash."
Wen Xishu understood:
"I get it. It means that exclusive runes can only match with a select few sequences."
"Exactly. The rune you have this time perfectly matches your sequence, and even... the combination effect is quite powerful. You’re very lucky. Or rather, meeting that target was your fortune."
The guide’s black head once again revealed a mysterious smile:
"But this is not your biggest reward. I think we should discuss your other rewards now."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What level of completion did I achieve?"
The black head chuckled:
"Level six. Why do you think I’m showing such a charming and lovely smile?"
Your black round hairless head... any expression on that face would not be charming or lovely.
Wen Xishu sarcastically thought to himself.
However, he wasn’t as surprised as last time. Level six completion was a slight surprise, but not unexpected, as he knew he had changed the content of the three towers.
The Deceit Tower, Slaughter Tower, and Desire Tower had been transformed greatly. One could say it was like turning a parrot into a bald eagle.
The guide of the Three Towers said:
"However, this time, due to the low level, the reward is balanced, and you can’t actively choose the level-six facility you get."
"That’s the bad news."
Wen Xishu asked:
"What’s the good news then?"
The guide grinned:
"The good news is, this level-six facility is very interesting. It can bring you considerable income, adding some joy to the dull Bunker."
Wen Xishu shrugged:
"That doesn’t sound like good news. Although the level-six facility belongs to me, given my current situation, it could still be forcibly taken."
The guide shook its head, accidentally bumping into the other two heads. The red head opened its eyes and glared fiercely at the black head.
The black head extended a finger, shaking it slightly to signal no:
"No, no, no, this time is different. No one will want to go near the Capsized Cabin, and experiencing it requires a fee. It’s an entertainment facility, bringing considerable income to its owner."
"Unimaginable income."
Wen Xishu suddenly found these words strange. No one wanted to go near it, yet it brought in unimaginable income.
This combination of words made Wen Xishu somewhat unable to understand.
"Heh heh heh, just like last time, you can choose its level and location."
Without hesitation, Wen Xishu chose the second level, right next to the level-six hospital, just about a hundred meters away in the Bunker.
The guide laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, gaga, so interesting. Next time you come, be sure to tell me about the joy this cabin brings."
Wen Xishu was a bit puzzled. The guide’s reaction seemed even bigger than when he brought back the level-six hospital last time.
"What exactly does this thing do? What does Capsized Cabin mean?"
"Literally, a cabin where friendships capsize. Trust me, its business will be booming."
No one wanted to go near it, yet its business would be booming. Wen Xishu was quite intrigued.
This time the exploration rewards were quite substantial. Although it was the second level, there were hidden rewards like runes, and regular rewards like level-six resources and facilities.
Enough to sustain the entire Bunker for a while. Wen Xishu foresaw that his reputation would increase again.
Influence, though it might not mean much to those in true power.
But for those like Albert, who needed to prove their qualifications, it was very important.
It seemed that his ability to explore the Deceit Tower had been validated.
Meanwhile, Zheng Zai would probably be investigated. However, Wen Xishu hadn’t shown any secrets regarding Wen Chaohua in front of Zheng Zai. Plus, Zheng Zai was tough.
Wen Xishu wasn’t too worried about Zheng Zai; he had another question:
"What is going on with Deceitful Gemini and Deceitful Virgo?"
The black Deceitful Head was startled:
"You... encountered Deceitful Virgo!"
It stared directly at Wen Xishu, and even the red Slaughter Head and white Desire Head looked up.
But the three heads did not speak.
Wen Xishu asked:
"What’s the situation?"
The three heads answered in unison:
"You have been targeted."
"Who has targeted me?" Wen Xishu asked.
The three heads shook their heads, then collided with each other.
"Hard to say."
"Can’t say."
"Not gonna say."
Wen Xishu’s blood pressure rose.
"I suddenly feel like beating you guys up, until you produce a mental barrage."
The other two heads quickly pretended to sleep, only the black Deceitful Head said:
"Goodbye, Wen Xishu, I look forward to your next exploration of higher levels, hehe."
The black Deceitful Head waved its hand, effectively ending the conversation.
With that, Wen Xishu successfully completed his second Deceit Tower exploration and returned to the Bunker.
...
...
Three Towers Academy. Campus, student cafeteria.
"I heard there’s a new level-six facility on the second level. It’s an entertainment facility!"
"Oh, we basement folks also get a level-six entertainment facility?"
"Is it the Capsized Cabin? Are they talking about the Capsized Cabin? I just got a call, but don’t know its effect yet. Level-six facilities always have some magical function."
"Should we go and check it out this afternoon since we have no classes?"
"And who brought the level-six facility?"
"Wen Xishu! It’s Wen Xishu again!"
"Damn, it’s him again! How many days has it been? He brought back another one?"
"Amazing, amazing. The Bunker really produced a genius, huh? Was it the Deceit Tower again?"
The cafeteria was buzzing with only one topic: Wen Xishu brought back another level-six facility.
Yue Yun, Nissen, and Wen Xishu were all in the cafeteria.
Yes, Wen Xishu had already returned; he came back the day before.
This time, he didn’t go through any interrogation.
After returning from the Three Towers to the Bunker, Wen Xishu only saw Albert, and neither the Security Bureau nor the Civil Affairs Bureau disturbed him.
Wen Xishu felt this was quite good. It could be said that his situation after the second exploration of the Three Towers was better than the first time.
At this moment, the entire cafeteria’s countless students and teachers were discussing Wen Xishu, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Yue Yun clenched his fist quietly:
"We just finished our first class... and he completed a tower. How am I supposed to catch up with such a genius?"
Nissen also swayed his head:
"Yo~yo~, Xiaoyun, don’t be jealous, that’s the genius Wen Xishu. His hospital saved countless lives, and now he brought back the Capsized Cabin. There’s no way to surpass him~"
His beatbox sound effects caused saliva to spray into Yue Yun’s food. But surprisingly, Yue Yun didn’t seem that bothered.
The arrogant one had gradually accepted this black-skinned friend.
Yue Yun suddenly thought of something:
"Wenxun, why did you suddenly leave? Can you tell us about your special course? As soon as you returned... Wen Xishu brought back another level-six facility? Are you two connected?"
(Available on November 1st, barring any unexpected occurrences.)
