Three Towers Game

The meeting ended quickly.

Albert was filled with battle spirit, but of course, he knew that Wen Xishu had just returned, and he couldn’t drag Wen Xishu to the Slaughter Tower right now.

”Since you are going, Xun Hui, you and Wen Xishu should rest for a day. Everyone needs to be in their best state.”

Xun Hui nodded:

”I understand.”

Albert left quickly.

Xun Hui and Wen Xishu were the last to leave. Before leaving, Xun Hui said:

”Climbing the Slaughter Tower, it’s actually hard to come across those constellations you mentioned, but even if I don’t know them, I can imagine their strength.”

”They could be said to be the top ’warlords’ of the Three Towers War, couldn’t they?”

Wen Xishu nodded:

”You could say that. They formed various forces due to different roles and various types of people.”

Xun Hui looked at Wen Xishu:

”Most of them are hostile to us, and even if they aren’t, it’s just mutual exploitation?”

Wen Xishu nodded again; that was indeed the case.

Even with Scorpio, Wen Xishu also knew they had their own calculations.

Xun Hui said:

”The old man is very strong; I don’t even know how strong he really is, but he might not win this time, and if he dies...”

”Senior, he won’t.” Wen Xishu interrupted Xun Hui.

”I would regret it if the old principal truly died; I would always regret it, but unless I have seen that future... even if I had to choose again, I would still invite the old principal.”

Wen Xishu’s gaze was clear, and he did not retreat in the face of Xun Hui’s momentum.

Xun Hui said no more:

”Then rest well; if we can witness this showdown, it will surely be beneficial.”

Xun Hui was upright and straightforward; hearing Wen Xishu speak like that, he had no intention of blaming him.

...

...

At night, after returning to the Deceit Tower Academy, Wen Xishu did nothing else.

He truly was resting well.

William Hawker visited midway, but Wen Xishu had the Academy Spirit send him away.

Wen Xishu was also aware of one thing: he seemed to be a variable.

The futures currently seen are all changeable.

It was uncertain whether the current decision would create a huge butterfly effect, resulting in the old principal unable to participate in the showdown between Scorpio and Leo.

In fact, he was not as open as he imagined himself to be.

Or rather, when facing the constellations, Wen Xishu had somewhat lost his confidence in the old principal.

Even though he had never seen Sagittarius kill anyone, nor had he seen the old principal’s performance in the Slaughter Tower.

...

...

The next morning.

When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, the Academy Spirit had already prepared breakfast.

Wen Xishu hadn’t had breakfast for a while and hadn’t been living according to a ”normal person’s” schedule.

After finishing breakfast, the Academy Spirit said:

”The principal is waiting for you in the Resource Department. He said if you have rested well, you should go there.”

Wen Xishu nodded and set off without delay.

In the Resource Department, three months ago, when Wen Xishu arrived here, the first thing he rented was an item from the Resource Department, a tool from the principal—”Forgotten Key,” a simple and crude door-opening tool.

Over the past three months, the Resource Department had changed significantly.

Now the Resource Department had a Deceit Tower material area.

Of course, there were not many items in the Deceit Tower material area. Just a handful, most of which were brought by members of the Xishu Divine Teaching and the newly formed Deceit Tower Assault Team of the Bunker Security Bureau.

The item quality ranged from white to blue. White items made up the vast majority.

Generally, purple items were extremely rare.

Wen Xishu quickly arrived at the Resource Department and noticed that among the blue items, there was an exceptionally good piece—a tongue.

Deceit Tower Item · Tongue of the Lotus.

This was a rather disgusting item because it needed to be placed in the mouth. Once placed, your eloquence would greatly improve, and you might say something that moves the enemies of the Deceit Tower.

But there was also a small chance of suddenly saying something that would break the target’s defenses.

This item was considered top-tier among blue items.

Once successfully deployed, even those not good at speaking or persuasion could manage to do some persuasive talking.

There were also many white items. Although they had significant side effects, they all had their use.

Wen Xishu was very pleased; his presence had made the exploration of the Deceit Tower lively.

He didn’t linger much in the Deceit Tower material area.

Wen Xishu quickly headed to the Slaughter Tower material area, to the deepest part where items were stored.

The old principal, Albert, was already waiting for Wen Xishu in the deepest area.

Wen Xishu noticed there was no one around, as it was too deep and considered a zone for the principal’s exclusive use.

The principal’s items were doubtlessly numerous, and even though Wen Xishu’s tower climbing frequency was higher than the principal’s, the principal had climbed towers for decades.

Of course, the pity was that although the principal had many items, the item slots were still limited. As Xun Hui mentioned before, many items from the Slaughter Tower had usage level restrictions, unlike items from the Deceit Tower that could be used directly.

So, the principal’s powerful items required levels in the seventies or eighties, or a six-figure kill count.

In short, they were things difficult for ordinary people to use.

It was also the first time Wen Xishu had seen such a scene, as if looking at a weapon arsenal. The amount in this arsenal was more than the equipment room he had visited with several assassins at the Investigation Bureau.

”I didn’t expect you to have so many items.” Wen Xishu exclaimed.

Albert said:
