Chapter 10

Humans have entered the Bunker for only a few decades.

The elderly in the Bunker still remember the world where humans once lived, and have also told young people about the world with sky and sea.

But people cannot imagine things they have never seen out of thin air.

Only after entering the Tower of Desire, at the moment of looking up, can they feel what it means for the starry sea to be vast and boundless.

But this is not the reason why people love the Tower of Desire.

People love the Tower of Desire because the bloody cruelty of the Slaughter Tower, and the terrifying strangeness of the Mysterious Tower, make the pursuit of desire in the Tower of Desire... become incomparably gentle.

There is no need for fighting and killing here, and there are no strange rules. As long as you make these people pursuing desire feel happy, you can obtain certain survival supplies.

Wen Xishu, who had just entered the Tower of Desire, saw a special dialog box.

【Welcome to the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Desire, area location Moen City. The Tower of Desire is a place with love; please climb this tower with love and responsibility.】

How loving, how warm, the art style is completely different from the other two towers.

It's just that Wen Xishu didn't know that the complete rule was like this—

【Welcome to the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Desire, area location Moen City. All violent behavior is prohibited in the Tower of Desire. The Tower of Desire is a place with love; please climb this tower with love and responsibility.】

The rule prohibiting all violent behavior did not take effect on Wen Xishu, and even the hint was erased.

To be precise, it was erased by the chaotic Dice of Madness. Wen Xishu didn't know.

What appeared in his eyes was a prosperous city.

High-rise buildings, people in bright clothes on the street, exquisite cream cakes in the windows of gourmet shops, dazzling billboards, and the smell of women's cosmetics.

All of this made Wen Xishu feel very close, as if he had returned to the world before his transmigration.

But this world is not completely real.

For example, the area boundary constructed by red lines in the distance, or the air wall, and the information in Wen Xishu's eyes:

【Jennifer's current happiness value: 0. Task status: Incomplete.】

【Remaining time: 47 hours 54 minutes 16 seconds.】

This information pulled him out of the hazy feeling of returning to the original world and gave him a sense of crisis of insufficient time.

Normal tower climbers have seven days, but Wen Xishu entered the Tower of Desire through an invitation letter and only had two days.

He had to find clues to unlock the hidden content of the Mysterious Tower and make Jennifer happy in a very short time.

There are many ways to make a person happy.

People have had decades of experience climbing the Tower of Desire, whether it is making money in this world, giving material value with money, or bestowing emotional value.

In the early years, when the qualifications to enter the Tower of Desire were very loose, some reckless men who were too emotionally unintelligent would die in the Tower of Desire.

And a few geniuses who could say things like "You Ye Impact" or "Xuanxuan, I want to open big on you" would also die in the Tower of Desire.

Fortunately, such situations were constantly decreasing.

The comprehensive qualifications of people entering the Tower of Desire were getting higher and higher, because it was getting more and more competitive.

The means they knew to please people were getting more and more, including but not limited to "How to quickly advance the relationship to exposing the handle."

Nowadays, the survival rate of the Tower of Desire is almost one hundred percent.

But that is on the premise of being below the twentieth floor. Above the twentieth floor, the difficulty will crazily increase, and the conditions will become more and more harsh.

However, for the vast majority of people, the exploration volume of the first twenty floors is enough to cover their whole lives.

Wen Xishu was on the twenty-first floor; he could already feel the real difficulty of pleasing Jennifer.

On the way to the slum, Wen Xishu was thinking about how to operate next.

Making Jennifer happy is easy.

Whether it is coaxing Jennifer or picking up Yulia, he can successfully complete the task.

But in the end, he can only take away the food for a "family of three" with the lowest completion level.

That is not what Wen Xishu wants.

"The biggest difficulty of this task is that no matter what, Jennifer's happiness will be cleared."

"Because not long after, Jennifer will encounter a disaster, and all the current happiness is just setting off the misery that follows."

"This all stems from Jack."

Wen Xishu is not a good person; he certainly thought about killing Jack in the Tower of Desire.

If there were no Jack, then not long after, all of Jennifer's attachments in that old building could survive.

However, killing Jack is likely a more wrong choice.

Jennifer cherishes Jack very much in her heart; killing Jack will only make the little girl miserable.

The most critical thing is that Mysterious Jack actually has a necessity to exist.

Wen Xishu still remembers that sentence Jack said to Jennifer—

"Can you handle the outside world alone? This is all just a beginning."

The outside world of the old building will only be more dangerous. Jack is just a boss in a certain area of the twenty-first floor.

There are countless existences of the same level in the Mysterious Tower.

"To survive in that world, Jennifer must have a powerful backer."

"And it is worth noting that I saw two Jennifers in the game hints."

"Desire Jennifer, Mysterious Jennifer."

"If the two Jennifers are the same person... then why deliberately distinguish them?"

"Just because one Jennifer is in the Mysterious Tower and the other Jennifer is in the Tower of Desire?"

Wen Xishu shook his head slightly.

"How stupid must the designer of the Three Towers game be to think of such a superfluous setting?"

"Assuming there are other reasons—then Desire Jennifer becoming Mysterious Jennifer must go through some kind of process."

"Similarly, Jack is also like this."

Intuition told Wen Xishu that the difference in Jennifer's prefix was an extremely critical clue.

"In the Tower of Desire, Jack thought he would die because he had stomach cancer."

"But in the Mysterious Tower, not only is he still alive, but after experiencing a desperate day, he even became Mysterious Jack."

Wen Xishu, who was walking on the street, suddenly paused for a second; he felt he was about to find the key.

"Backstabbed by colleagues, deceived by friends, disgusted by the person he loves, and then blackening ten times stronger, and then killing everyone, this is simply unreasonably cool."

"If the world is so idealistic, wouldn't it become a misery competition?"

For this crazy world, people rarely think about why the world has become like this.

Most people are still adapting and surviving.

Wen Xishu is also adapting. But he feels that the appearance of the Mysterious Tower and Jack's transformation all need a reason.

Only by investigating this reason clearly can he decide what to do next.

Half an hour later, Wen Xishu arrived at the slum.

Wen Xishu, who lived in Chongqing, has always felt that the world on the internet is like a peacock opening its tail.

Behind the beautiful feathers is a completely different scene.

It's like on a subway crossing through buildings, on the left are modern attractions where internet celebrities compete to take pictures, and on the right is a piece of decaying, dangerous building that seems to be from the last century.

You can certainly say that this has an old Chongqing atmosphere, this is very nostalgic.

But that must be a condescending posture. When that old atmosphere envelops you, you will only want to escape.

Moen City is the same; its prosperous CBD area makes people intoxicated, but it also has barren areas.

Wen Xishu was at the entrance of that old building.

In the Tower of Desire world, this building has nothing strange. It looks like a huge tomb full of dust and decay.

At this time, Jack had just returned to his room, preparing to write something, indicating that at the end of his life, he longed to be a good person.

By observing the medical record in Jack's hand, Wen Xishu inferred the time node:

"Next, Jack will go to apologize to Remian, but soon discover that Remian is incorrigible."

"Subsequently, he will experience the 'truth attack' from his good friend Anderson."

"Finally, he goes to beg Yulia to let Jennifer watch his performance, but also fails."

"Is it the special effect of the invitation letter? This is really... a node that can change everything."
