Three Towers Game

But Wen Xishu still wanted to ask:

”Principal, I have one more question.”

Albert said:

”Go ahead, ask as much as you want.”

Wen Xishu didn’t hold back:

”You must have tried to communicate with Mr. Jin many times over the years? When was the last time?”

Evelyn felt something was off with this question; she glanced at Wen Xishu indifferently.

Wen Xishu immediately felt his emotions calming down.

His tone became more relaxed and indifferent.

Albert laughed:

”It’s been so many times; the last time was about two months ago, after you retrieved your name, I talked with him for a while.”

”But his attitude remained very stubborn, refusing to leave that place.”

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but think if the best plan... was true, Mr. Jin really sacrificed himself heroically.

The principal would feel very upset, wouldn’t he?

Wen Xishu quickly shifted his attention to the main point:

”Principal, you mean two months ago, Mr. Jin was still absolutely unwilling to leave?”

Albert nodded: ”Yes, I have to thank you; I don’t know why he suddenly figured it out.”

”Perhaps it also has to do with the clues you provided, making him recall some past missions.”

Provided clues...

Wen Xishu mentioned Sagittarius, Capricorn...

Not long ago, Capricorn even appeared directly in front of him.

Is there some connection with this timing?

Something feels off.

Wen Xishu increasingly felt something was off; none of this information could suddenly make someone realize everything.

But for now, all Wen Xishu could do was climb the tower, using the Three Towers to find answers.

”Alright, I understand, Principal... If Mr. Jin leaves that facility and is really killed by Sagittarius, what will you do?”

Albert’s smile gradually faded:

”I would be sad, lamenting for my old friend... but I would also be proud of him.”

”He did not avoid his fate, which is very great.”

Wen Xishu felt relieved.

He thought, maybe the old principal knows what the best plan is, or has some guesses.

But no matter what, in the old principal’s view, living hidden in a bunker is not as good as standing bravely on the road to pioneering the future.

...

Wen Xishu quickly returned to Deceit Tower Academy.

It was still morning.

Zheng Zai had been waiting for a long time; Wen Xishu saw Zheng Zai and understood his intention.

Mr. Jin climbing the tower still required preparation, and... once Mr. Jin entered the Slaughter Tower, if what he said was true, he was going to meet his destiny—

Then most likely, Mr. Jin wouldn’t return within seven days.

The current situation is that it’s best for him to climb the tower; since there are no clues, he might as well stop thinking and go find clues.

Zheng Zai’s timing was perfect.

Wen Xishu also felt that he hadn’t climbed the tower for a while, and his tower addiction was getting hard to hold back.

Zheng Zai said:

”Hey, Younger Brother Wen, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Wen Xishu said:

”No problem, things on my end are pretty much settled. Old Zheng, let’s take action together.”

Zheng Zai said:

”According to the guide, since our names are on the tickets, we just need to activate the login device.”

”Brother, I don’t know what the bizarre competition is... But by the description, we’ll face many challenges; it might be very dangerous beyond our levels.”

Hmm... Old Zheng is right, so this time, the effects brought by the Mad Dice absolutely mustn’t choose minimalism.

Got to retain strength.

After all, climbing the tower is risking life; still need to keep Old Zheng.”

Wen Xishu said:

”Don’t worry Old Zheng, I won’t be careless or inattentive.”

Zheng Zai had already taken out the login device, and Wen Xishu also took out the login device.

”Hope this journey ends... will see Mr. Jin climbing the tower.”

Deep down, Wen Xishu still hoped Mr. Jin would climb the tower.

He was ashamed of his inherent some conspiracy theory against Mr. Jin, after all, he was someone who brought future to humanity.

But if Mr. Jin ultimately didn’t climb the tower, didn’t go to die heroically...

Then his dark guesses might actually come true.

Wen Xishu didn’t want that; if possible, he hopes heroes would expand their fate tracks in a heroic way.

Wen Xishu activated the login device.

[Welcome to the Three Towers game.]

[Special invitation detected—heading to the bizarre competition.]

[Special item ”Mad Dice” detected.]

In the familiar prompt sound, an extra message was added; Wen Xishu didn’t mind.

This time, Wen Xishu rolled a new number. 424.

The Mad Dice also provided Wen Xishu with the following options—

Coincidental: Only triggers when dice are even numbers, when the teammate count is even, after they receive rewards, you also get an extra identical reward (If the other party receives a unique sequence, the sequence will be stripped from them.)

Good things come in pairs. (Triggers when at least two of the three dice show even numbers. Effect: Option +1, and this option doesn’t consume option count)

Minimalism. (Result from the previous roll.)

Wing-to-Wing Flight. (Triggers when the numbers are 212, 424, 636, effect: You can choose an attribute of a tower system as a base; this time, won’t receive any about that tower system rewards, and the base ability value will be halved to normal attribute. But correspondingly, the other two tower systems will receive double enhancement, and ability value panel value will be doubled.)

This is a brand new option.

Wing-to-Wing Flight.

Wen Xishu closely looked at it for a while and saw the point.
