Three Towers Game

Chapter 1380: Chapter 40: The Collaboration Between the Commerce Association and Capricorn (2)

Qing exclaimed excitedly:

”Let’s go! Take me to see him!”

...

...

The bronze door of the castle slowly opened.

This huge bronze door exudes an air of nobility; it’s hard to imagine what kind of massive achievements or tasks must have been completed to earn such a castle.

Soon, led by Leslie, Qing passed through the courtyard, corridors, gardens, and shooting range...

Ultimately, Qing and Leslie met this legendary first hunter in the library.

To Qing’s surprise, this hunter... looked very trendy, not at all like a master.

However, Leslie at this moment said very respectfully:

”It’s truly an honor today; I finally get to meet the legendary you, Lord Capricorn. Welcome home.”

Qing was slightly taken aback.

Capricorn.

She, being the top hunter in Hunter City and one of the three legends, certainly knew this most special presence on the battlefield — the constellations.

Without hesitation, Qing’s body seemed to teleport, rushing forward.

Her combat abilities were astonishing, like a flash of light.

At such close range, she was confident she could hit the target instantly.

But in the next moment, Qing suddenly felt bewildered.

The cold wind was like a knife, and a gigantic glacier rose from the ground, beasts roared in the distance, creatures with thick fur resembling polar bears, yet several times larger than polar bears.

”Huh? Where have I been teleported to?”

On the other side, far away in Hunter City.

Capricorn said:

”I am not returning home; this isn’t my home. Otherwise, how could the two of you possibly walk up to me so easily?”

For Capricorn, this place was just a pit stop to store things, and he was merely using the Commerce Association to exchange for what he needed.

While speaking, Capricorn found a book on the shelf, then tore a page from inside it.

”I must leave now.”

The page was a recipe, recording the method for a specific dish. The reason for Capricorn’s visit to Hunter City was precisely for this.

Leslie, fearing Capricorn would really leave, immediately said:

”We know Jin’s whereabouts!”

In that instant, Capricorn’s eyes squinted, and his movement halted.

Leslie immediately said respectfully:

”Recently, the Commerce Association unlocked the reverse entry permission for the Bunker, but there are many restrictions. If we could leverage your power, we might find a way... to change some things.”

”For this, we’ve also prepared a grand gift for you.”

”We found the whereabouts of that person, Jin, Zhenyuan.”

Capricorn said:

”It’s just information?”

Leslie nodded:

”Just information. But through this information, you’ll definitely be able to find him. However, the information is time-sensitive, so you’d better decide quickly.”

Capricorn asked:

”What do you need me to do?”

Leslie, somewhat embarrassed, replied:

”We need that hunter, the one that was somewhat disrespectful to you earlier... leverage your power to transport her into the Bunker.”

Capricorn questioned:

”To destroy the Bunker?”

Leslie said:

”Not as such; she just needs to assassinate someone. To you, the Bunker people aren’t important, are they?”

”I assume you are about to venture into some remote place for some game hunting; I really wouldn’t want to delay you.”

At this moment, on the other side of the world—

Behind Qing was a heap of shattered wild beast bodies. After stretching a bit, Qing started to worry:

”Seems like I’ve been teleported very far away... Ah, the constellations react quickly. I’m afraid it’ll take a long time to walk back.”

As Qing was troubled— a rift appeared.

Through the rift, Qing could see Capricorn’s handsome side face.

Capricorn merely beckoned, signaling Qing to enter the rift.

This time, Qing was much more behaved.

She passed through the rift, intentionally pausing within it for a moment:

”Wow, this is fun, haha, it’s freezing here, while extremely hot over there, so cool.”

Qing was like a child discovering a new toy.

Capricorn frowned.

Qing reminded him of his sister — Aquarius.

However, Qing had a certain wildness in her, he could feel it, the murderous aura on the other side of the rift, in that snowy field.

This woman is not simple. Her previous strike even triggered his passive translocation ability, thus teleporting her to somewhere far off.

This alone proved that placing such a woman on the Three-Tower Battlefield would also make her an extremely fearsome presence.

A person like this...

Placing her in the Bunker would certainly stir up significant changes, wouldn’t it?

By himself, he couldn’t possibly accomplish such a thing.

But now, it seemed the merchants of Hunter City had acquired certain permissions.

Many thoughts flashed through Capricorn’s mind.

Leslie said:

”My lord, if you refuse this deal, then next time... to find Jin Zhenyuan, you may need to go to Longxia’s... that underground fortress.”

”That place is the forbidden land of the gods.”

Capricorn gave Leslie a glance:

”You all do seem to know quite a bit about me.”

Leslie respectfully replied:

”We are friends of the constellations. For friends, we strive to understand as much as possible. Between you and Jin Zhenyuan, there is still a debt to settle, we care about you, so we are always arranging the best and most adept at tracking people for you.”

Finally, Capricorn made a decision:

”If your information turns out to be useless, I’ll teleport the most conquering of my brothers and sisters in.”

To outsiders, Hunter City is an enigmatic city shrouded in sensory-disrupting mist, making it impossible to enter.

But Capricorn can certainly make it happen.

Although the Commerce Association’s trump card isn’t just one Hunter City, losing a Hunter City would undoubtedly be a considerable loss.

Leslie was fully aware of this.

”Rest assured, our deal this time will surely satisfy both parties.”

Capricorn said:

”I don’t care whether you’re satisfied or not. If this woman enters the Bunker and is taken down by the Bunker people, I won’t be held accountable.”

Leslie smiled and said:

”Naturally, as long as you are willing to help us, the Commerce Association would be eternally grateful.”

Capricorn said:

”Let’s go.”

Leslie was overjoyed.

In past missions, something strange...

Indeed, after crossing into the Bunker, certain characters seem to have toned down a bit in the future, and the hunters received rewards.

This proved that their actions were effective.

However — those characters were still alive and well.

This made them wonder, could it be that the hunters were not strong enough to get the job done?

So they planned a major one, to transport the top strength of Hunter City into the Bunker to try it out.

But the place in the Bunker, like Pen Town, although hunters from Hunter City can enter, the maximum strength of those entering is capped.

In some respects, if the Bunker side has defenses—

The threat of invading the Bunker might not even exceed a major devouring.

But if they could find a way to let Capricorn, who is adept at ”crossing realms”, take action, perhaps it could allow an existence whose power exceeds the cap to enter.

This was an experiment by the merchants.

And conveniently, Capricorn was the earliest legendary hunter in Hunter City.

Because the Commerce Association could provide various items, it just so happened to satisfy Capricorn’s needs as an avid tourist.

Only Capricorn himself didn’t know what the Commerce Association represented.

...

...

Bunker.

Wen Xishu returned to the Bunker, already a day before.

He didn’t immediately start the next task; in Wen Xishu’s view, the next task might be at level seventy.

The last task was at level sixty-eight, where he met An Rongzai.

Wen Xishu still remembers, back when he was at the seventh level of the Reversed Seven Apartments, he thought perhaps he’d have a connection with the number seven.

An Rongzai appeared right on the sixty-eighth level, mentioning the ”Cosmetic Surgeon,” and Wen Xishu had a vague feeling that perhaps all this was a prelude to level seventy.

He decided to rest for a few days.

Mainly because — the old headmaster and Xun Hui were still not in the Bunker.

Wen Xishu planned to climb the Slaughter Tower one more time, wanting to thoroughly test his current strength.

Although he had always relied on luck and cheated items to climb the tower, whenever he encountered items or abilities that could enhance combat ability and survival skills, Wen Xishu always prioritized selecting these capabilities.

So he also wanted to know, purely in terms of strength, with customized Mystical Rune combining Realm of Only Me, plus the Ghost Groom persona...

To what extent could he reach?

Currently, it’s naturally impossible for him to compare with the old headmaster, and probably even with the Five Elders like Luo Feng, he wouldn’t be able to contend, but if he compared with senior Xun Hui, would he be able to trouble him?

Even if he couldn’t defeat the top ranker of the ladder, what about the second place?

Wen Xishu was still very much inclined to try, to know his true level.

Thus, he didn’t rush to climb the tower. Instead, he waited in the Bunker. Not only waiting for the old headmaster and others like Xun Hui, but also waiting for the next hunter from Hunter City.
