Three Towers Game

Chapter 69: Chapter 52 Tang Rui’s Slaughter Tower Upgrade

Some things are clear to the bystander, but confusing to those involved.

In Tang Rui’s many years of life, it was always filled with fog, leading her into deep pits.

Until tonight, when a man with a wine glass suddenly appeared, suddenly leading her to do something extremely crazy.

Those words were full of seduction, yet made her feel like seeing the light through the clouds.

The drink in the truth or dare wine glass was very intoxicating, but Wen Xishu never forgot one thing—

He came to clear the game. In this game, the objective is to make the target happy. For this, he chose to eliminate Tang Rui’s suffering from the root.

But this time, his words unexpectedly triggered a hidden plot belonging to the Desire Tower.

When Wen Xishu invited Tang Rui to start the next slaughter journey again—this message appeared in his mind:

[When people yearn for love, they also unconsciously suppress hatred. The pursuit of light makes people fear darkness. The Desire Tower is a place of love, but the desires gathered into a tower are not solely of love.]

[Congratulations, you have activated the hidden mission, the ascension journey of Slaughter Tang Rui.]

[Upon completing this mission, Slaughter Tang Rui will ascend, the result of which will depend on the mission’s completion level.]

[Task progress: twenty-seven percent.]

Wen Xishu’s figure suddenly stopped. This left Tang Rui behind him somewhat confused:

”What’s wrong with you?”

Wen Xishu looked at Tang Rui, his eyes carrying a bit of joy.

”Why are you looking at me like that?” Tang Rui asked.

”Once thoughts are clear, one’s position also changes.”

Wen Xishu answered irrelevant to the question, although Tang Rui was confused, seeing Wen Xishu not speaking further, she did not ask more.

To complete a mission, one must first decipher it.

Wen Xishu pondered that this sudden hidden mission seemed to indicate one thing.

The so-called Desire Tower pursues desire.

This desire does not solely refer to love desire. Indeed, many people can clear the Desire Tower by satisfying each other’s love desire, or even... sexual desire.

But this hidden mission indicates that there are still many people in this world with other desires.

Unrequited love is just one type, and there are also quite a few people who don’t even dare to hate.

Wen Xishu looked at Tang Rui because he realized one thing—

By releasing hatred, killing Yan Zhihai, Tang Rui was also led to the ascension journey of the Slaughter Tower.

What the four words Slaughter Tower Ascension mean, Wen Xishu was not yet clear, but it was probably a good thing.

”Task progress twenty-seven percent, since some progress was made from the start... presumably because Yan Zhihai is already dead.”

”Killing Yan Zhihai released part of the hatred desire, but the remaining seventy-three percent, it seems, requires killing more crucial individuals?”

Wen Xishu could somewhat understand that some actions are outright outrageous once done.

In Tang Rui’s life, there were too many things she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, even if she understood some things, she may not have the absolute courage to act.

Fortunately, Wen Xishu dared.

Wen Xishu and Tang Rui once again embarked on the slaughter journey. But just like last time, he did not forget one thing: collecting coins.

Yan Zhihai had quite a lot of money. The more someone likes to do shady business, the more they like to use cash, like the ladies on the street.

Understanding this, Wen Xishu decisively took the valuables from the room.

Just in case they would be needed?

...

...

The heavy rain continued.

The Jiangrong Blessed Land was a necessity-type community in Jiangcheng. The occupancy rate here was very high, and it was considered a relatively bustling community.

There was nothing new in the community, if one person knew a secret, soon it would be known by the rest of the community.

Every day at two-thirty in the afternoon, many old ladies and grannies would gather together, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting. Or in teahouses, playing mahjong while gossiping about who and who.

The heavy rain did not affect the people in the community much.

Only for families used to going to the market early in the morning to buy fresh produce, such rain would surely be inconvenient tomorrow.

Cheng Yingna watched TV and said:

”So annoying, the TV always goes bad when it rains, you need to call someone to fix it.”

Tang Fangtian knocked on his knees and said:

”Alright, don’t worry, I’ll have someone come fix it tomorrow.”

Cheng Yingna added:

”Tomorrow, make a call and ask that dead girl for more money this month. We might as well buy a new one, I think that new Da Rice TV wall looks very nice.”

”That’s a bit expensive... I heard she just lost her job not long ago. Maybe we should just get someone to fix it?” Tang Fangtian thought for a moment, not really pleased in his heart.

As the former primary breadwinner, now the secondary, Tang Fangtian knew how hard it was to make money.

Recently, Tang Rui had a decent job, but how could a newly graduated child have money to send home?

Yet despite this, Cheng Yingna kept demanding Tang Fangtian to ask Tang Rui for money.

The reason was simple—I’ve raised her for so many years, she should repay me. Isn’t raising children for old age security?

Tang Fangtian inwardly thought the same. Raising children is for old-age security, though she wasn’t a son, it can’t waste his years of nurturing her.

So over the years, Cheng Yingna made Tang Fangtian ask Tang Rui for money every month. Back then, Tang Rui earned six thousand a month, she would demand four thousand five hundred.

Tang Rui did not refuse. Eventually, although Tang Fangtian felt making money was tough, he accepted it; life indeed got more comfortable with that money.
