Three Towers Game

At least this time, the Ark’s rule won’t truly be overthrown. Perhaps in the future, at higher levels, he will come to the Ark again.

Or rather, in the distant future, on the battlegrounds of the Three Towers War, he will see the influence of the Ark.

But Wen Xishu knew very well that since time didn’t allow him to do more, it meant he had reached his limit.

Leave everything to fate then.

As Wen Xishu was about to leave, everyone inside the Ark regained their will, and gradually, the Ark was no longer lifeless.

This Ark will also usher in a new rebellion and uprising.

Wen Xishu smiled:

”Horn, I wish you all the best, may we meet again in the future.”

The familiar, interlaced white lines began to dissolve and weave the scene.

In a daze, it seemed Wen Xishu saw a certain figure with flowing golden hair in the dissolving scene.

But that was just a moment.

Soon, the familiar door and clock appeared in Wen Xishu’s sight.

...

...

Land of Reception.

Before Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he heard the exaggerated laughter of the new version, but at the tail end of the laughter, there was reproach—

”Bang bang bang bang bang~ you really don’t listen to advice at all.” said the black Deceitful Head of the guide.

Wen Xishu raised an eyebrow and habitually began to check his panel. (Note 1)

The harvest was quite abundant. Due to the tier-crossing challenge brought by the high level, the slots in Wen Xishu’s inventory and sequence columns had increased.

Wen Xishu is no longer a rookie. Now, except for certain specific items and facilities that will be handed over to him by the guide, normally, Wen Xishu can directly access other items.

This time, in addition to the overall improvement in level and panel, Wen Xishu also obtained a very interesting rune.

The guide said:

”You seem to have a way to circumvent some mechanisms to challenge the levels that don’t belong to you. This is very good, the Deceit Tower will reward you with things to conquer it.”

”This is the fun of exploring the Deceit Tower.”

”But you should still remember what I said, don’t jump too fast, why not try taking small steps forward, stepping too big carries risks.”

Wen Xishu nodded:

”I remember, don’t worry, through this journey I’ve realized that some levels are indeed too early for me.”

The one speaking was the red Deceitful Head: ”Indeed, although you have changed certain futures once again, if your own strength were very strong... then you should understand that you could do more.”

Wen Xishu did not deny it. If his strength were a bit stronger—

Then many situations might open up more easily. Wen Xishu thought about the result brought by the mad dice, and he had no choice.

Can’t leave it unused, right? It seems too wasteful not to use it.

But this time, he did learn a lesson.

The black Deceitful Head also got back to the point:

”You encountered a powerful presence again, although the gain wasn’t as substantial as last time at the asylum, what was given to you wasn’t stingy... no, it was actually very generous.”

Wen Xishu already reviewed his panel and indeed felt the generosity.

Rare Unique Rune · Earth Marsh Trapped Beast.

Although it’s a rare unique rune, it can be applied to any sequence. Ideally, it would work on a sequence that can operate in any tower system. For example, the Three Tower Sequence.

As for its effect, it’s quite straightforward.

Rune description: Sirius likes to create peculiar worlds, and he can always thrive in them because he seems to adapt to all sorts of bizarre worlds. Now, you have such an ability.

Rune effect: When your physical state is below average, the lower your state, the greater the correction from the ”geographical advantage” rule you receive.

This description is a bit vague, but Wen Xishu seemed to understand.

Timing, geographic advantage, and human harmony. Having all three allows for an invincible stance.

And what Sirius bestowed was consistently granting him geographical advantage.

Against powerful enemies, putting himself in an injured state—then he would gain geographical advantage.

”Based on the description, I receive a rule correction... meaning the more severely I am injured facing a strong enemy, the more advantageous rules will be generated around me.”

As for the specific rule effects of the geographical advantage, Wen Xishu is also unclear.

But he could sense the importance of this rune.

It’s a passive, consistently effective rune; combined with Sirius’s Three Tower Sequence · Boundary Genesis, Sirius is actually very combat-capable.

But now, Sirius has given a very important component to him.

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but marvel that although these constellations, gods, and such are very dangerous, they are very generous.

Just like Scorpio.

”If... I chose Pisces at the Reversed Seven Apartments, what would I receive?”

In the Three Towers War, each of the Twelve Constellations had their own camps, interests intersected, some were adversarial, while others secretly allied.

Wen Xishu knew very well there was no perfect solution.

He wasn’t troubled:

”Are there other rewards this time?”

”Bang bang bang bang~ Of course, your overall rating is a level six completion. In fact, there is a level seven completion, but your strength wasn’t enough to trigger deeper tasks.”

”But even so, being able to cross levels and reach such a completion rate, and saving extremely important roles, is quite remarkable.”

”You’ve gained technology and facilities.”

Wen Xishu said:

”Level six?”

He thought about it and somewhat understood.

He liberated Sirius but did not truly liberate the Ark; his own abilities were limited... Reawakening everyone might lead to Horn threatening the captain again.

This means that the Ark’s future is no longer the dark ending of being enslaved by the captain.

It’s as if he’s opened up the situation.

But then again, if he honestly and steadily climbed up step by step, reaching over sixty levels... the foundation on him might be enough to battle the captain and Von Neumann.

At that time, it might not be about opening the situation but directly achieving a perfect ending.

Clearly, one can level-hop, using luck and strategy. But in fact, being solid and steady, having stronger power will generally provide more solutions.

Wen Xishu thought about Jiang Xue mentioning that the old headmaster broke through the ninety-seventh floor at the Desire Tower rest area—maybe the old headmaster could have done it earlier, but he pursued solid progress instead of aggressive advancement.

The Three Towers guide said:

”A new level will be born in the Bunker to store the facilities you’ve acquired—the Fishery. And all Bunker People will gain the ability ’Iron Lung.’

”All Bunker People will gain the ability to hold their breath underwater for long periods. When you return to the Bunker, they will sing your praises.”

”You should know, many Bunker People have never seen the sea—a Fishery, a simulated ocean. It will periodically refresh various fish resources according to the Bunker People’s Three Tower exploration levels.”

Wen Xishu was surprised:

”You’re saying the Bunker will go from sixteen levels to seventeen levels?”

The guide laughed:

”Bang bang bang bang~ That’s right, the Bunker will continue to acquire various things, and when some things can’t be contained, it creates new levels.”

”Of course, you can choose whether it’s the seventeenth level, the first level, or other levels.”

Wen Xishu didn’t think much:

”Place it at the bottom level, having never seen the sea is a regretful life.”

The guide shrugged, all three heads dancing together.

As the guide made arrangements and Wen Xishu’s decision was finalized—

The Bunker underwent significant changes.

At that moment, the lift on the bottom level suddenly had an area to be descended. Soon, the news of the sea within the Bunker would reach everyone’s ears.

Wen Xishu thought of Sirius and others, knowing about the Three Towers, and Sirius’s ability to create some small world.

He smiled, now, Sirius had given him a sea... a sea without a crimson aura, rich in resources.

Wen Xishu suddenly looked forward to Heracles, Qilin, and Lyra.

Unlike the Twelve Constellations, these five relatively weak constellations seemed more like... five unique talents.

”Alright, everything is settled, you should return to your own world now.”

Wen Xishu thought about it and indeed, he should hurry back to check, lest ”Tang Rui” have too much fun with those ”visitors” from the Deceit Tower Academy.
