Resting Area, Celestial Essence Region.
Under the dragging conditions of Xun Hui, Wen Xishu, Nissen, and Yue Yun, the level was finally set at seventy-four.
Nissen and Yue Yun both marveled at how terrifying the old principal must be, and couldn't help but feel anxious about the journey ahead.
Only Wen Xishu was contemplating the next strategy.
Albert saw Wen Xishu's serious demeanor and did not disturb him.
Life is always full of randomness, and Wen Xishu's luck isn't always that good.
When the points of the Mad Dice appeared, he saw those few scattered options and realized that out of the heaven, geographical advantage, and harmony, at least the heaven wasn't on his side.
Mad Dice points—four, five, six.
This was a point that had already appeared before, coincidentally, even the last time it appeared was when he was climbing the Slaughter Tower.
Last time, he rolled four, five, six while he was with Xun Hui.
Compared to last time, there were a total of six options.
Big Number Inclination. Good things come in pairs. Smooth. Unimpeded Passage. Double Combo. Seal the Top.
Because of Good things come in pairs, essentially it's a five-choose-two, but because of the second roll, triggered "reunion," so the options turned into five-choose-four.
The options are indeed many, but in Wen Xishu's view, none could help the old principal. At least not in a divine level showdown.
In the end, he didn't choose Big Number Inclination, as it's an extremely gambling option. Wen Xishu finally chose Smooth. Unimpeded Passage. Double Combo. Seal the Top.
What caught Wen Xishu's attention were Smooth and Seal the Top.
His current Tower Power Value remaining was "7". According to the description, he doesn't know if the "Combat Skill Consumption Halved" within Smooth is effective on Tower Power Value.
This point can only be known after entering the Slaughter Tower.
Secondly, Wen Xishu feels the skill "Seal the Top" is somewhat regrettable.
The effect of Seal the Top seems not to target levels above sixty. Seal the Top can prevent being instantly killed, which is undoubtedly a concept-level ability, perhaps allowing him to block an arrow from Sagittarius.
But the problem is... the level is at seventy-four.
But then again—
The level of the Slaughter Tower is divided according to space. If after going to the seventy-fourth level, it shifts to the sixty-level region, is it feasible?
Regarding this point, Wen Xishu guesses perhaps it truly can.
Although he seemingly doesn't need to do so, after all, the old principal is the main force against Sagittarius, with the old principal there, he shouldn't be blocking an arrow from Sagittarius.
But Wen Xishu really wants to try.
After all, back then Mr. Jin also led Luo Feng, Liu Zhizai, and others to the ninetieth level.
The various options of the Mad Dice, whether their concept-level effects can impact the battle, Wen Xishu still wasn't sure.
Fortune might not stand by his side, or maybe, in such a showdown, his bit of luck isn't important.
The Scorpion Knife also seemed not particularly exceptional.
In this round of tower climbing, the Scorpion Knife no longer brought Wen Xishu the amusing ability of "chat box" like last time.
This time, the ability granted to Wen Xishu by the Scorpion Knife was called Plugin Eye.
Many game auxiliary guides are very awkward; some games deliberately obscure values, some games have diverse types of values, making it hard for players to directly view the damage...
Moreover, some games don't even have task guidance.
Therefore, many players start to rely on plugins, which tell players how to choose the task. While fighting monsters, the plugin also differentiates damage colors.
For example, poison attribute damage is green, normal slash damage is white, critical hit is red... it's convenient for players to calculate comprehensive damage and compute various formulae for bonuses.
In addition, small maps don't mark monsters, but plugins do.
In short, this time, the Scorpion Knife offers Wen Xishu a fully functional plugin. Wen Xishu can see the skill damage names of the opponent, skill damage colors, with different colors representing different attributes.
He can also see red circles, where the so-called "red circle" is the boss's skill initiation, often with a range, dodging that range can greatly reduce damage.
Additionally, Wen Xishu can even see the "danger" character appear above the boss's head when it's about to unleash a lethal skill.
The auxiliary ability of the Scorpion Knife this time is actually quite decent.
This can help Wen Xishu better observe... the peak showdown between the old principal and Sagittarius.
However, it seems he can only do so.
He found that his ability fluctuations' upper limit is hard to achieve enough to influence this top-tier showdown's lower limit level.
"Unless... my guess about Seal the Top is correct."
Wen Xishu returned to reality:
"I'm ready here, Principal. We can set out."
Albert nodded:
"Little ones, better follow me closely, the monsters on the seventy-fourth level can easily insta-kill you."
"Xun Hui, you can also test your strength limit here."
"Anyway, I hope the ten minutes of showdown with Sagittarius comes soon, hopefully after defeating him, we can enjoy a pleasant, relaxing journey."
In this situation, Yue Yun and Nissen dared not speak, only nodding fiercely.
And Wen Xishu quietly took out the starter:
"Shall we begin then?"
Xun Hui nodded, was the first to press the starter. His figure quickly vanished.
"Really looking forward to it, hahahaha..." Albert also activated the login device.
Wen Xishu was the third; his Slaughter Tower journey has been few, but each time, the level is not low. Facing such a level, he is calmer than Nissen and Yue Yun, who often climb the tower.
