Three Towers Game

Chapter 169: Chapter 85: Encountering Acquaintances Again

Wen Xishu realized that his luck was indeed strong, rarely encountering irregular numbers. They were mostly straight sequences, but this time the options were not as many as before.

There were only four options.

[Please choose one of the following effects:]

[1: Quality Elevation: Triggers when three dice include two prime numbers. Effect: When settling completion rewards, if there are items, sequences, or facilities, one of them will trigger Quality Elevation, improving the quality grade.]

[2: Balanced Leap: Triggers only when points are one, three, five, or two, four, six. Effect: After triggering this option, it will stabilize +2 for five times based on the previous level. If the current level exceeds 90, it will be invalidated but can be exchanged for any other effect.]

[3: Unmatched: Triggers when the points of three dice are all odd and different. Effect: After clearing the level, greatly increases the chance to acquire unique items or sequences, or the facility with a maximum existence of one in the bunker. If a technology is obtained, it cannot be acquired by other Tower Climbers.]

[4: Three Lifeforms: (Triggers when the points of three dice include at least one three, and the total is a multiple of three. Effect: When the items equipped are three or multiples of three, their effects are amplified. Includes special items, invalid items, only the number of items used in the inventory is counted.)]

Wen Xishu unlocked two new dice options again, Balanced Leap and Unmatched.

Both Balanced Leap and increasing the number of levels surprised Wen Xishu. Would anyone really choose these options?

It appeared that Xun Hui, the first person in Slaughter Tower, was stuck at around the 50th level. If he were stuck at this level too, could he use the dice to force a breakthrough?

However, the cost of forcing a breakthrough might not be bearable.

Three Lifeforms was quite good. If he didn’t have Tang Rui’s letter, he would be carrying just three items. One was the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Blade of Scorpio, one was the Gradual Indifference of Wenren Mirror, and one was the Forgotten Key.

After considering, Wen Xishu decided he didn’t need Three Lifeforms since it wasn’t a permanent boost.

He stopped thinking about this issue and was now more interested in the Unmatched option.

”Since climbing the tower, it’s naturally assumed I can clear it. Whether Quality Elevation or Unmatched is better, it’s really hard to say.”

Wen Xishu didn’t hesitate much. When both options attracted him equally... then choose the new one over the old.

He chose Unmatched.

After making the choice, Wen Xishu entered the rest area.

...

...

”Is there anyone from Xishu Divine Teaching!”

”I’m on the fifth level, the Southeast Asia small fishing village cursed mission, seeking a team from Xishu Divine Teaching. I’m skilled in washing, cutting, and blowing. Welcome to the first level of the bunker, wash and cut for 10 yuan, blow for 300. Free for Xishu Divine Teaching!”

”I’m a new member of Xishu Divine Teaching! Begging the elders to team up with me!”

”Big shots, the stimulation policy of the Deceit Tower has been going on for a while. Can someone teach me how to survive the squid game on the third level?”

”Don’t believe the guy on the second level, he’s not from Xishu Divine Teaching, I am!”

This time, unlike the last, Wen Xishu found that there were actually a lot of advertisements.

More people were exploring the Deceit Tower.

No matter how dangerous the Deceit Tower is, under the stimulation policy, there are always warriors. Moreover, this time, many mentioned Xishu Divine Teaching in their advertisements.

Wen Xishu appeared in the central area, at the 10-10 Tianyuan location of the rest area. His task this time was to go to the eighth level.

This level wasn’t particularly high, but Wen Xishu didn’t expect to catch a stroke of luck.

He didn’t jump directly to the maximum 14th level.

This led Wen Xishu to meet an acquaintance.

”Younger Brother Wen!”

The voice came through the iron shield, sounding muffled. Wen Xishu looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised.

”Zheng Zai, it’s you.”

”Yes, it’s me! What a coincidence! Younger Brother Wen, I didn’t expect to see you here! I... Wait, don’t tell me we have the same task?”

Encountering Zheng Zai here indeed surprised Wen Xishu.

What Wen Xishu was more curious about was how Zheng Zai managed to challenge the eighth level.

Since Zheng Zai was in the same rest area start point as himself, it meant Zheng Zai was also on the eighth level, but maybe for a different task.

He was about to speak when suddenly someone said:

”This friend with the iron mouth shield, did I hear you call him Younger Brother Wen, right?”

The speaker was a one-eyed man, but he was quite meticulous, with a monocle covering his single eye. However, the scar over his left eye was too obvious and long, and the lens couldn’t cover it.

Next to the man was a woman, holding a dagger, looking like some sort of item. If it could be brought into the rest area, it must be from her own inventory.

The woman said:

”There are many pronunciations for this. Is it the literary ’Wen’ or the Wen of Wenren Mirror?”

The woman’s appearance quite impressed Wen Xishu, scoring 9.5 points, resembling Quiet from Metal Gear Solid. Wearing brown stockings, her whole body looked cool. However, her appearance was Russian.

Of course, this was definitely not reasonable attire. In reality, there’s no such saying as less attire leads to higher critical hits.

The man and woman both seemed very interested in Zheng Zai’s ”Younger Brother Wen.”

Wen Xishu said:

”Why don’t you first tell us about your tasks?”

There were actually around twenty more people nearby. All of them turned their eyes to Wen Xishu.

But they didn’t stand together with Zheng Zai and this couple, they just watched Wen Xishu from not far away.
