Three Towers Game

Chapter 162: Chapter 83: My Inviolable Territory_2

Jabbar smiled and said:

”Feel free, I’m leaving now.”

Jabbar left and closed the door behind him. Wen Xishu then dialed Liu Jinsen’s number. Just the right timing, he needed to inform Liu Jinsen that he was about to start climbing the tower again.

The call connected, and Liu Jinsen, as always, got straight to the point:

”Wen Xishu? Okay, go ahead, I’m listening.”

”Mr. Liu, I just completed the exploration of Deceit Tower, with a sixth-level completion. I didn’t bring back any facilities, but the harvest was considerable, mainly reporting to you.”

Liu Jinsen had actually guessed it. Wen Xishu’s call could only mean his successful return from Deceit Tower. But another sixth level?

How can it be another sixth level?

Is the sixth level that easy to achieve? He truly couldn’t understand.

”You... um, you did very well. But this also increases my work difficulty a bit.”

Wen Xishu became interested:

”What work difficulty?”

Liu Jinsen sighed and said:

”You know, Sha Ruijing arranged an obscure media outlet to promote your achievements...”

”Honestly, achieving sixth level twice and bringing back two facilities is already outrageous. Now, just after a few days... I have to tell them you’ve achieved the third sixth level, they’re running out of stories.”

”Even extravagant stories aren’t written like this. The absurdity of your real achievements makes the story inventors feel too outrageous.”

Wen Xishu laughed, hearing this from the serious Mr. Liu, he found it quite amusing.

Indeed, in his previous life, whether it was Xiaomi’s founder, or the real-life Iron Man Elon Musk, or that South Korean Demon King in the E-sports League, their fates were more outrageous than the protagonists in over-the-top stories.

Stories stress a rise and fall, a low point and then an explosion, but in some real cases — there’s only explosion, like they have a god’s eye.

In just over ten days, three explorations of Deceit Tower, three sixth-level completions... Liu Jinsen felt it was unreal.

Wen Xishu said:

”Regarding the task report of this exploration, I’ll give it to you later, but don’t dwell on it too much, your team likely won’t be troubled by my three sixth-level completions.”

Liu Jinsen asked:

”Why do you say that?”

Wen Xishu smiled and said:

”I plan to climb the tower again tomorrow, so, maybe later, save the headache for later, what if it’s four times in a few days?”

Liu Jinsen: ”...”

The call almost ended in Liu Jinsen’s silence; he calmed himself for a while before saying:

”You plan to start climbing the tower again tomorrow?”

”Yes, there’s nothing much to do in the bunker, it’s a pity I didn’t bring back any facilities this time, so I have to work hard.”

Liu Jinsen felt like a boss who originally felt guilty and told an employee they had to work overtime.

But now, he found that this employee was addicted to working overtime and even lived at the company. Now it was his turn to panic, fearing the employee might overwork to death.

Wen Xishu now gave him just that feeling.

”I’ll remind you again, you can actually rest for seven days.”

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. He thought of writer Yin Junchi.

Maybe he really got twisted.

”Thank you, Mr. Liu. Actually, besides reporting this matter, I have another question.”

”Go ahead.”

”Can I go to Slaughter Tower?”

Liu Jinsen said:

”Originally, you can’t. At least the procedures for switching towers are not that quick. But you’re a student of Slaughter Tower Academy; you not being able to go to Slaughter Tower doesn’t make sense. You might not know, Principal Albert just went to the family planning office yesterday.”

”You can go anywhere except Desire Tower, but you have to understand, inside Slaughter Tower, everything starts anew...”

”And why are you going to Slaughter Tower? Slaughter Tower’s attributes can’t be used in Deceit Tower.”

Wen Xishu smiled and said:

”As long as I can go, where can I collect the login device?”

Liu Jinsen couldn’t quite grasp Wen Xishu. Double son of the Wen Family was now clear-minded, no longer the foolish and crazy as before.

But he always felt that Wen Xishu had become even crazier.

”Go find Sha Ruijing. Any other things?”

”No, Mr. Liu.”

The call ended. Wen Xishu hummed a little tune, leaving the principal’s office.

The principal would only return tomorrow, and he had nothing to do now, so he planned to go back to the dormitory, have some food, and take a bath.

...

...

This time, Wen Xishu’s tower climb took a total of three days.

In these three days, some things happened in the school. An incident involving a senior named Zhang Wei in the second year made a buzz in the academy.

This second-year student updated the information about the boss-level monster Sewn-Faced Man in the Slaughter Tower Monster Encyclopedia.

The content was something like this:

Originally, the boss at the twenty-first floor, Sewn-Faced Man, in the Slaughter Tower Monster Encyclopedia, had two phases.

The third phase is a girl behind Sewn-Faced Man.

But in the original description, that girl was expressionless, like a puppet, as if she was a dead thing.

No one knew what form Sewn-Faced Man’s third phase would take, but people speculated it was related to that girl.

Some said the girl had no life aura and must be Sewn-Faced Man’s prop.

Others said the girl is the real body, and Sewn-Faced Man is the prop...

But now, Zhang Wei’s update provided a conclusion to all these speculations.

”The girl is alive. And surprisingly, the girl doesn’t have much hostility towards humans!”

”All of this stems from someone named Wen Xishu; the girl was inquiring about Wen Xishu’s whereabouts.”

Zhang Wei directly told the second-year class advisor of Slaughter Tower Academy. The class advisor then told the principal.

To verify this, the principal went to Slaughter Tower.

If everything checks out, the description of Sewn-Faced Man in the Slaughter Tower Monster Encyclopedia will change.

Wen Xishu heard about it as soon as he returned to the dormitory from Nissen.

This was the hottest topic in the academy these past two days because the rumored Wen Xishu seemed to have gone to Slaughter Tower.

All the monsters in Slaughter Tower were hostile to humans.

But due to Wen Xishu, Zhang Wei wasn’t attacked by the girl; instead, he was helped by her.

Wen Xishu knew the whole story.

In the original fate trajectory—Jack... might have really killed Jennifer. Jennifer and Jack ended up together, but Jack was lonely.

This also resulted in Slaughter Jack being non-interactive.

Hence, Jennifer in the Slaughter Tower Monster Encyclopedia was motionless, like a puppet.

But as he went to Desire Tower, changing the fate trajectory, Jennifer survived. She and Jack were like a pair of mutual-supporting twins, much like the An Family Brothers.

So, the girl behind Jack became alive again.

”Bro, Wen Xishu is incredibly cool. Not only mysterious, but slaughtering too! He’s the idol of all students, except for that Miyamoto Yishu!”

Nissen bobbed his head, starting his clumsy rap again.

Wen Xishu said:

”What did you guys do while I was away these three days? Anything interesting besides Wen Xishu?”

Yue Yun said:

”I went to Slaughter Tower; me and Nissen, one on the third floor, the other on the fifth floor.”

”We both came back successfully.”

Wen Xishu got excited instantly:

”Wow, that’s great, I haven’t...”

Wen Xishu suddenly stopped.

In the capsized boat, Yue Yun and Nissen thought he had been to Slaughter Tower.

”Did you get the Slaughter Tower sequence?”

Yue Yun shook his head:

”I wasn’t lucky; none of the enemies I killed dropped the Slaughter Tower sequence. We can currently only handle some constant-state species.”

”Their drop rates are very low.”

”But me and Nissen are among the first freshmen to enter Slaughter Tower, except for Miyamoto Yishu. Oh, and you, Wenxun. By the way, were you climbing a tower these past few days too?”

Wen Xishu shook his head:

”I can’t say. But don’t worry, I think we three will have a chance to climb the tower together soon.”

”Slaughter Tower is a bit tough for me. I might need a pillar of support. Who do you think is the most reliable leader to Slaughter Tower in the academy?”

Yue Yun was confused. In the capsized boat, he remembered Wenxun had been to Slaughter Tower. But as for Wenxun’s question, he had an answer:

”In the academy... the most reliable would be the number one in Slaughter Tower, Xun Hui. But he wouldn’t bother with freshmen like us. He’s a renowned lone ranger and never leads freshmen.”

Wen Xishu thought that if his guess was correct... maybe there’s a way to get Xun Hui to lead. But this required a good talk with Albert.

Now, it was the afternoon. The principal would return tomorrow. Wen Xishu’s anti-magic value was higher now.

”Tonight, maybe I can get more information about Deceit Tower Academy.”

(Let’s try starting the next instance tomorrow.)
