Three Towers Game

Chapter 1446: Chapter 463: Cosmetic Surgery Family Incident Concludes_3

”I can only blame it on the fact that I’m still not strong enough—whether it’s my mindset or my stats. Maybe I need to improve myself across the board.”

[It’s a pity. I wanted to give you more rewards, but this stage was destined so that only the most hideous person and the most beautiful person could obtain the final reward. Do you understand the reason behind this?]

”I kind of get it. It’s because I didn’t dissolve the obsession. Maybe only someone with an extreme appearance—either so ugly it’s extreme, or so beautiful it’s extreme... can truly dissolve Che Yongyi’s obsession.”

”I might not be able to solve the problem of appearance anxiety, but if it’s applied to specific people, maybe I could have done better... but yeah, I didn’t pull it off.”

”I dealt with him as a person, but I didn’t resolve the obsession in his heart.”

[Yes. This time, subjectively speaking, the mission might not have felt extremely difficult or thrilling... but you’ve also started to realize that when facing this mission, you’ve gradually become unable to find the most correct solution.]

Wen Xishu didn’t deny it. If he’d had his memories from the start... maybe things would’ve gone better. But yeah, this stage really picks its player.

If you had an extreme appearance, there’s a decent chance you could unlock the Cosmetic Surgery Family’s obsession.

That said, for someone like Wen Xishu, once he starts reflecting on himself, he always ends up with one conclusion—

Not strong enough.

If he didn’t do well enough, that just means he’s still not strong enough.

If the stage requires an extreme appearance, it means his ability in other aspects is too weak, unable to replace that extreme appearance.

Just like how he couldn’t lock onto his target and had to rely on Ning Shu’s power.

But if he were strong enough—strong like Sagittarius—wouldn’t it be just one arrow and done?

For Wen Xishu, the correct way forward is to level up. Madly level up.

So he was very curious what the reward this time would be.

In fact, Level 6 completion is also divided into ”Weak Level 6” and ”Strong Level 6.”

Obviously, Wen Xishu counted as ”Weak Level 6” this time.

But this was the seventieth floor of the Deceit Tower, and it had been strengthened by the Mad Dice. With Unrivaled Under Heaven and Quality Upgrade, the rewards Wen Xishu received were still terrifying.

First was a level increase.

[Deceit Tower Level: 68. Anti-Magic Value: 188 points.]

[Desire Tower Level: 62. Luck Value: 164 points.]

At this stage, leveling up is already very hard, yet Wen Xishu still went up four levels in a row.

Next was material rewards, the traditional kind of reward.

And then came what Wen Xishu valued most: items and sequence rewards.

This time, Wen Xishu obtained a sequence.

Mysterious Sequence 88: Struggle of the Disguiser.

This wasn’t the Cosmetic Surgery Family’s sequence, but another relatively weaker sequence.

The sequence effect is very simple: the user can actively trigger the sequence to positively or negatively change their appearance.

If it’s a positive change, you’ll randomly become better-looking.

If it’s a negative change, you’ll randomly become more hideous.

One thing worth mentioning: there’s a corresponding rating system for appearance.

If your score is higher than your target’s, you’ll find it easier to gain their trust, easier to make them feel good about you, and if you choose positive disguising, your Luck Value will be increased.

If your score is lower than your target’s, you’ll inflict greater mental damage on them, more easily provoke negative emotions, and if you choose negative disguising, your Anti-Magic Value and Slaughter Value caps will increase.

Put simply, Wen Xishu just gained another way to become stronger.

Previously, when facing a powerful enemy, Wen Xishu would stab himself first, turn himself into a monster, and gain geographical advantage.

Now, Wen Xishu will make himself ugly first, and if halfway through the fight he realizes he still can’t win, he’ll probably give his own face a few more cuts...

”Feels like I’m walking further and further down the road of self-harm... What kind of freaky stuff is this?”

Of course, it has to be said: whether beautiful or hideous, both have positive functions. Wen Xishu felt this sequence was quite worth it.

Especially since this sequence can actually boost Anti-Magic Value and Luck Value through changes in appearance. You could say it’s effective for both the Deceit Tower and the Desire Tower.

A very solid gain.

The downside is that the changes are random and can’t be customized, or else he’d basically be a nerfed version of the Cosmetic Surgery Family.

Lastly, Wen Xishu obtained a rune.

This rune can be socketed into any sequence.

The rune’s name is ”Extremely Sensitive.”

The effect is straightforward: when someone nearby fixes their gaze on you, or internally gossips about you with malice, your reaction speed will become insanely fast, and everything else will seem slowed down.

This is the sequence that allowed the Cosmetic Surgery Family to calmly react to Wen Xishu’s attacks.

With this sequence, Wen Xishu can see the movements of those powerhouses whose strength surpasses his by several orders of magnitude.

At the very least, his eyes will be able to keep up with their movements.

”Both my stats and my mechanics have improved... Not bad. Under the influence of Unrivaled Under Heaven and Quality Upgrade, I’ve barely managed to touch the threshold of Level 7.”

Sequences and runes both have practical value, which genuinely pleased Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu socketed the rune into Spiritual Bullet Screen; with that, this sequence underwent Tri-Phase Transformation and can be used in any situation.

After finishing all this, Wen Xishu returned to the Bunker.

Right now, he had a problem that needed solving—he had to figure out a way to save Sagittarius.
