Three Towers Game

Chapter 138: Chapter 76: Real and Fake Anzhen 7_2

So far, Wen Xishu discovered that An Jincheng is just a greedy, extravagant spendthrift.

After coming into contact with Miracle Mansion, An Jincheng was influenced by its mysterious power and is now focused on giving away money, doing all kinds of things benefiting others, as if his greed had been reversed.

Logically, the most troubling issue for Wen Xishu now is how to reasonably get An Jincheng to choose to leave.

He also thought of using the survival instinct, making up a story to tell An Jincheng what would happen if he stayed.

But Wen Xishu always felt something was off.

He had a strange feeling since meeting An Jincheng, he thought this person... seemed quite natural.

Indeed, An Jincheng looked like he was corroded by something strange, transformed from a greedy wastrel into a generous, useful person. And like the other six people, he showed characteristics of unwillingness to leave.

But what about the pathological feeling?

Yin Junchi, Jiang Yingce, He Taiping were also influenced by the ”reverse seven,” but what they exhibited was completely different from An Jincheng.

They all showed a kind of self-destructive state. Either so self-deprecating they acted as if they had severe OCD,

or so diligent they were on the brink of death, or even found joy in self-harm...

But An Jincheng did not give Wen Xishu that feeling. It always felt like the side effects of reversed greed... seemed so insignificant?

An Jincheng was indeed generous but not pathologically twisted.

Wen Xishu had a feeling that the truth was likely different from his original guess.

He immediately asked:

”You keep emphasizing your grandfather, does your grandfather often test you... right?”

After Wen Xishu asked this question, An Jincheng’s expression noticeably changed.

His eyes also became sharper:

”What do you mean? Do you think I don’t know you were sent by my grandfather?”

Wen Xishu shook his head:

”The people your grandfather sends, how do the guards outside react when they see them? Would your grandfather use someone as young as me?”

An Jincheng then realized something was off.

Usually, the people sent by his grandfather had certain privileges. Those in green uniforms showed great respect to them.

But just now, the two guards at the door seemed not to see this man who called himself Wen Xishu.

And... this man was too young, looking only about seventeen or eighteen. His grandfather never used people who were too young.

”Who the hell are you?”

An Jincheng became vigilant.

Wen Xishu did not immediately respond, considering what situation An Jincheng was in.

”Relax, relax, Mr. An, I won’t hurt you.”

Wen Xishu actually wanted to use the old method, creating fear, then obtaining memories through bullet comments.

But in Miracle Mansion, he wasn’t sure how risky that would be.

He could only evoke other emotions, like surprise.

”Mr. An, don’t worry, I’m not sent by your grandfather. Next, I’ll tell you a story, after listening to the story, we can choose to talk.”

An Jincheng didn’t speak, but his eyes seemed to agree to let Wen Xishu continue.

Wen Xishu noticed his necklace had 22 minutes left.

He had to speed up.

At this moment, Wen Xishu integrated the mission information he had before entering Deceit Tower, the task information before entering Desire Tower, as well as all his observations and speculations about Deceit Tower, all the clues together.

Decoding the mission, understanding the mission, after pausing for about five seconds, Wen Xishu finally spoke:

”Do you believe in miracles, An Zhenqi?”

The name An Zhenqi was supposed to be a secret, An Jincheng’s heart jumped:

”You’re indeed one of my grandfather’s people, you actually know that name.”

Wen Xishu shook his head:

”Don’t rush, listen to me first. For ordinary people, the first type of miracle is believing the world is made up of ordinary people... only to discover that there are those with supernatural abilities in this world.”

”These beings are like evolved humans, possessing various strong or strange powers.”

”When the supernatural and bizarre appear, this world starts to be reshuffled, right?”

”At that time, assume you are one of the richest and most powerful in the world, and in your country, you enjoy everything in the world like an ancient emperor, what would you think when you learn of the miracle’s emergence?”

An Jincheng’s hands trembled. He looked at Wen Xishu with disbelief.

He didn’t expect this young man named Wen Xishu to say these things.

Wen Xishu continued:

”If it were me, I’d feel a sense of crisis. Not only a sense of crisis but also unwillingness.”

”There are many geniuses better than me in this world, people in all walks of life I can’t reach, but I have money, I know how the world operates, they would all become my subordinates.”

”But what if one day, the world’s operation mode changes?”

”After the apocalypse hits, the strong become the most respected, former power and money mean nothing. To prevent such a time, I think, I’ll constantly look for ways to become part of the miracle myself... this is the second type of miracle, the miracle of making ordinary people evolve.”

”And this is the reason for the birth of Miracle Mansion, right?”

”Don’t look at me like that, Mr. An, I emphasize, I’m not your enemy. Please allow me to continue this story, we must save time.”

Actually, Wen Xishu was making up the story while thinking.

He suddenly thought of the mission information of Desire Tower—”It all began when his grandfather encountered the one who called himself Scorpio.”
