Three Towers Game

Chapter 1278: Chapter 404: When 001 Wen Xishu Meets 046 Albert

Luck and misfortune have been decided; it’s a game within the team itself.

The person who draws luck and walks the Lucky Road will be blessed with fortune, while those on the Evil Road are bound to face misfortune.

In all of Wen Xishu’s calculations, there is actually one possibility—that is to quietly eliminate ”misfortune.”

Because winning the game seems to be a ”victory for the team.”

But after a bit of pondering, Wen Xishu understands—how can a throne accommodate two people?

The second round begins, and Wen Xishu and others start moving gradually.

Some stride boldly forward, moving six points at once, while others progress slowly, throwing only one point.

It’s worth mentioning that a normal attack range is typically three points. However, there is a small chance to trigger a six-point range, or the shortest one-point range.

In other words, those who throw six points in the first round normally cannot engage those who threw fewer than three points in the same round. Unless a small probability triggers a long range attack.

This mechanism is quickly noticed by Wen Xishu, who is protected by ”Sagittarius.”

Some Otherworldly Me actually want to attempt attacking Wen Xishu; in their squares, they’ve drawn particularly powerful attacking methods.

For instance, from Universe 022 comes the gender-swapped Wen Xishu, the only female Wen Xishu, who walks the Lucky Road as an attacker.

This exemplifies a strategy focusing on aggressive firepower with high attack and low defense.

This round, she drew an offensive measure capable of instantly defeating her opponents—Same-Realm Conversion.

[Special powerful attack: In this round, regardless of the actual capability values of the being you attack, they will be transformed to performance values that align with the world you are in.]

In other words, this is a strike that covers the world view.

I am in a low martial world, you are in a high martial world; your attack is a dimensional collapse strike. But with the effect of this square, I can pull you to the level of my world.

The gender-swapped Wen Xishu’s world in 022 is an ”all-female world” with no extraordinarily high martial values.

Therefore, once she triggers world view coverage... it would instantaneously weaken Wen Xishu and 001 Wen Xishu to the ceiling of ordinary people.

But she cannot achieve it.

She threw four points in the first round, six points in the second round. Altogether she covered ten steps, while Wen Xishu threw one point in the first round and three points in the second.

Totally covering ten steps. The two are six steps apart.

Meanwhile, special powerful attacks have a standard range of three squares.

At this moment, the female Wen Xishu realizes...

The disadvantage of moving slowly is being far from the throne. But the advantage is—you may leave the battlefield.

Those with good luck will fight those with good luck, and those with bad luck will fight those with bad luck.

Of course, the board is complex; perhaps there will be other variables, such as gold sword squares and gold gun squares. Naturally, guns have long range and can reach extreme attack distances.

Many unknown squares scatter across the grounds, showing that the game, though strategic, clearly emphasizes luck over strategy; the outcome remains uncertain.

has good luck; she is now sharing a battlefield with those who have moved between 9 to 12 squares.

Though she can’t attack Wen Xishu, similarly, Wen Xishu finds it hard to reach them.

By the third round, many Otherworldly Me have gained new insights into the game.

Wen Xishu throws two points this time.

His points indeed seem not very high; by the third round, he’s only moved six steps, which makes him frown.

Walking the Lucky Road, he moves forward two squares into a square marked with a golden mouth.

[This round’s event—Otherworldly Encounter with an Old Acquaintance.]

[You can choose to accept the event this round, receiving the event reward, or reject the event this round and choose to attack. Alternatively, you can give the event to a teammate on the Evil Road; if you choose to give it, it might counteract part of the side effects of the bad event.]

[You will have fifteen seconds to make your decision.]

Meanwhile, walking the Evil Road, Wen Xishu moves forward two squares into a vortex-designated square.

[This round’s event—Otherworldly Void.]

[You cannot refuse this event this round unless your teammate on the Lucky Road chooses to support you. Due to being caught in the event, you will enter a state where you cannot defend but also cannot be attacked.]

Wen Xishu curses quietly, realizing the risk from the board itself likely far exceeds that faced by any other Otherworldly Me.

This round, 001 Wen Xishu feigns indifference as he glances at Wen Xishu.

He does not support Wen Xishu.

Fortune and misfortune inherently mean one side pays while the other harvests, requiring cooperation from both parties. But this possibility exists—fortune in total disregard of misfortune, treating it purely as blood bags and expendables.

Wen Xishu has no escape, falling into the Otherworldly Void; yet just before he falls into the void, he does something.

At the same time, 001 Wen Xishu is also transported to a somewhat familiar scene.

...

...

Bunker, Three Towers Academy, Principal’s Office.

Albert suddenly raises his head, sensing a tremendously powerful presence appearing within the bunker.

He is astonished, his eyes full of vigilance; the terrifying aura is very close, very near.

Yet soon, the door of the principal’s office opens.

The silhouette of Wen Xishu appears in Albert’s eyes.

”Little Tree?”

”Principal...”

Albert is quite surprised; Wen Xishu has returned, which he finds reasonable. But why... does such a mighty aura accompany him?

He wants to smile, pride swelling for the achievements Wen Xishu has realized in the past, imagining that surely Wen Xishu has once again encountered some extraordinary experience leading to rapid power advancement.

But Albert cannot smile.

Because the leap in strength is too vast.
