In truth, he would have preferred to propose identifying the item together with Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had gone from acting separately at the start to forming a team again. But that way, there would be issues regarding ownership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, Wang Ying began the identification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Identification count: one. Item activated, forced display function initiated.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vacuum cleaner began to operate. The others did not know the vacuum cleaner's function, and at first, Wang Ying only felt his heart sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited for several seconds and found there was no movement. The sound of the vacuum cleaner was like a roaring storm, but there was no change in the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, he certainly couldn't count on this thing to kill enemies. His first reaction was that he was truly finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But next, something new appeared in Wang Ying's vision. The vacuum cleaner was currently pointed toward the direction of Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai, and Wang Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Absorbed 15 points of fear value and 12 points of frustration value from self. Absorbed 59 points of optimism from teammates. Some items have been transferred to the emotion grid. You may choose to inhale or exhale.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying tried selecting the option to inhale the teammates' optimism value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole person suddenly became excited, as if he had gained confidence in an instant. Although he hadn't fully figured out the principle of this thing, he felt as if he already possessed the kind of confidence Wen Xishu had shown not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying's eyes clearly became more spirited, and he was overjoyed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing... actually has such a marvelous use!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he became optimistic, Wang Ying started to explore the vacuum cleaner. Conversely, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai suddenly became a bit worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai hadn't noticed anything wrong yet, only thinking to himself, can this thing really save Captain Wang? Brother Wen's judgment shouldn't be wrong, theoretically speaking, but then again, anything can happen in the Weird Tower, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu, however, suddenly began to doubt himself—could it be that the compass was ineffective because it was a fake compass? Was the item found not useful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu immediately noticed that he had been full of confidence just a moment ago, so why did he have no confidence now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, why is my emotional range so wide? I obtained the authorization from the creator of this level, and the other party even said personally that the compass would be of great use to me. How could I doubt it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not right... is the vacuum cleaner sucking away a part of my emotions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu realized what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Ying discovered that the buttons on the vacuum cleaner included a brain, a body, and a vortex-shaped pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had pressed the brain earlier, and now he began to press the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Absorbed 5 points of physical fitness, 5 points of agility, and 5 points of recovery.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the vacuum cleaner was not pointed at Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu; Wang Ying had aimed it only at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt his bodily functions seemingly decline. At this, Wang Ying was incredibly excited:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen, you were right! This thing is truly a divine artifact! With it, I can definitely pass the fifth level! Thank you! Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying's words left Aspasia, who was to the side, stunned; she had no idea what had just happened. But she suddenly felt a little regretful inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu also guessed the ability of this thing and offered his own advice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you already know the function of this thing, but... the vacuum cleaner's absorption capacity has a limit. I reckon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must learn to take in and let out. If you only absorb blindly, problems will definitely arise. It's hard to say if the vacuum cleaner might explode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying thought about it and agreed. This treasure was indeed very strong; it could absorb the opponent's attributes, both mental attributes and combat attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the absorption value was relatively slow. Facing an expert who could crush him with attributes, the speed of absorption was too slow; the person might kill him at the very start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the vacuum cleaner must have an absorption limit; this thing was not invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Ying believed that if it was just to deal with normal-type species, there would be no problem at all. And as long as he placed the absorbed attributes onto himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could achieve continuous recovery during battle, and the issues of sustaining various attributes would be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying continued to operate it for two or three minutes, and after confirming he was familiar with it, he left the room with the vacuum cleaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Wang Ying's figure disappeared and appeared inside the giant television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth level began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of the fifth level was on a cruise ship. Everyone on the cruise ship had turned into intermediate level-three normal-type species. The speed at which some of the normal-type species erupted was already like that of a cheetah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying was on the deck, and just like Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai before, he received a prompt that falling into the sea would count as death. This rule applied to the monsters as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the first wave of monsters rushed toward Wang Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the initial slaughter, Wang Ying was at a great disadvantage. Without the Weird Tower attribute panel, it was extremely difficult for him to kill even a single intermediate normal-type species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the number of monsters in the first wave was not large. Although Wang Ying was soon covered in wounds and blood, he simply did not fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his speed, reaction, strength, and other attributes were constantly growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Aspasia saw Wang Ying constantly getting injured, she was startled, thinking that Wang Ying was now surely going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still very worried about Wang Ying, but she couldn't help but complain a little—since Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai could handle it, why did he have to go and throw his life away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second wave of monsters was more numerous than the first; the quantity was frightening, already a dense mass of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Aspasia's view, Wang Ying should hide and not stay in an environment like the deck where he was attacked from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Wang Ying's consciousness was already blurred, or he was entangled by the monsters and unable to hide at all, or perhaps Wang Ying felt on the spot that only the deck was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, Wang Ying did not choose to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the third wave of monsters attacked, Aspasia felt again that it was over, her mind filled with—the Eagle is really going to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already started to think that this was indeed a scam by Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But next, Wang Ying suddenly let out a loud shout and became braver as he fought! Originally surrounded by monsters, he used astonishing strength to pierce through a monster's chest, staging a scene of tearing a normal-type species apart with his bare hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying's speed, strength, reaction, other bodily functions, and even his fighting spirit had reached their peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was covered in blood and seemed as if he should have died long ago, the wounds beneath those bloodstains had actually already healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vacuum cleaner stood behind Wang Ying. Every time Wang Ying repelled a few monsters, he would suddenly operate the vacuum cleaner. That vacuum cleaner was practically like the eye of some magic array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man bathed in blood was tottering, but he simply did not fall; instead, the number of monster corpses around him grew larger and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu discovered that Wang Ying was actually not bad. Basically, Wang Ying was already in a state of balance with the vacuum cleaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the vacuum cleaner could absorb attributes, it could not absorb too many; this thing was not yet at the level of a divine artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Wang Ying also noticed a point: his body could not contain too many absorbed attributes, and his health points, in particular, needed to be deliberately consumed so as not to \"burst himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Ying fought with restraint. He appeared to be injured from time to time, and his attributes were always controlled, not letting his combat ability expand indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person being able to survive in previous Weird Tower challenges is indeed capable of something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had already concluded that Wang Ying would definitely survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The facts were indeed so. Although Wang Ying's killing speed was relatively slow, he ultimately ended this level before the stronger monsters arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the naked eye, Wang Ying's clearance was painful, and he was almost constantly getting injured. But in reality, Wang Ying was not injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighth floor of the Weird Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Ying's figure appeared in the room again, Zheng Zai said happily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great, Captain Wang. Congratulations on successfully clearing the level. It was finally a narrow escape, a narrow escape indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu also said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, congratulations, Captain Wang. With this thing, you can be considered to have a fallback tool. Decide for yourself how to act next. There are still a few levels left; I hope we can clear them successfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying was greatly encouraged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen, I am truly so grateful to you! I was really a bit... measuring the heart of a gentleman with the measure of a petty person earlier. I really shouldn't have had those thoughts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying felt somewhat ashamed. In the battle not long ago, although it was a narrow escape, when death was near, it was inevitable that his heart would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully surviving in the end made him feel deeply emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, I am not a gentleman, and you don't count as a petty person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu truly felt that Wang Ying didn't count as measuring the heart of a gentleman with the measure of a petty person; he was no gentleman. What he had thought was that if Wang Ying didn't have the guts to identify it, he would really have killed him and Aspasia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aspasia stood there, not expecting the Eagle to actually survive. This was naturally a good thing, and she immediately said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eagle, I was really sweating for you. It's great that you're okay; your performance just now was truly heroic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all thanks to Brother Wen's discerning eye. Let's go, let's continue to identify other things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was slightly surprised; so Captain Wang was still willing to look after Aspasia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was not surprised, although he had already sentenced Aspasia to death. But Wang Ying and Aspasia did have some friendship after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, people like Wang Ying liked to enjoy the feeling of being the captain, where after he paid more, others would be endlessly grateful to him with a sense of guilt. This was also a common ailment of people with excessive self-esteem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who could handle things would, of course, not easily abandon team members. However, whether she could survive was not up to Aspasia to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two teams began to continue their actions. Wang Ying, who had gained courage and a fallback tool, plus Wen Xishu, who was cheating with the compass, both went all out from then on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying soon returned to the room with the glass bottle from before. He picked up the glass bottle and decisively opened the sixth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This glass bottle was indeed not a combat item; the glass bottle was actually a very special recovery prop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any liquid dripped into the glass bottle—rainwater, lake water, even urine—would turn into a peculiar recovery potion with random positive effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was random, sometimes some attributes might not be needed, and some attributes might not even need recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the identification was activated, Wang Ying tried it several times and found that blood dripped into the bottle three times, and the liquid obtained each of the three times had different effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prompts received were things like [Your kidney function has been strengthened.], [Your respiratory function has been strengthened.], [Your adrenaline secretion time will be extended.], and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These effects could not be said to be useless, but it seemed like some kind of health supplement blender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the bottle itself could not be destroyed. As a weapon for head-smashing, Wang Ying felt that, combined with the vacuum cleaner, he could still fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying opened the challenge of the sixth level, and the continuous challenges changed Wen Xishu's opinion quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai did not delay either, and the two decisively began to challenge the seventh level. This time, neither of them waited, and they did not watch the television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process of Wang Ying challenging the sixth level, Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai directly opened the challenge for the seventh level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The television screen thus changed from the original full-screen Wang Ying to a split screen showing Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, as well as Wang Ying holding the glass bottle and the vacuum cleaner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he said he was willing to continue bringing Aspasia along, Aspasia did not seize the opportunity to fight alongside Wang Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now the only spectator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new round of items guided by the Luo Pan for Wen Xishu was a chainsaw. The vacuum cleaner's attributes were already very strong, but this chainsaw was even more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything injured by the chainsaw would not spurt blood or flesh, but rather items like jelly beans, soap bubbles, and cotton candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of Zheng Zai wielding the chainsaw to deal with monsters should have been one of flying flesh and blood, but the actual combat scene... was simply like arriving at a dreamlike castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight passed through the soap bubbles, presenting seven-colored light, while cotton candy and jelly beans flew about, and occasionally, small pink winged ponies would dance joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small pink ponies would bring Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai a bit of mental encouragement, and those jelly beans and cotton candy allowed Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu to recover quite a bit of stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the soap bubbles, there were many at first, then they constantly merged, turning into a giant soap bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mid-level rank-seven normal type that entered the soap bubble became slow, and its art style also turned into a chibi version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really wanted to ask, what exactly was Ding Dong's ability? Was it a bizarre sequence? How did he use a sequence to make a weapon like a chainsaw, which was maxed out in terms of gore, have such a cute and dreamlike art style?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this thing originally intended for Qian Lele?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual combat effect of the chainsaw was far better than Wen Xishu had imagined; it could be said that this chainsaw was definitely a sharp weapon for slaughtering in the Slaughter Tower...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't really want it. This thing was suitable for those girls who wore maid outfits, rabbit ear headbands, and over-the-knee white silk stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image of a tough guy holding a chainsaw was fine, but if the surroundings were sunshine, rainbows, candy, and cute chibi pink ponies dancing in the sky... he really couldn't accept himself being in this art style. However, Wen Xishu was quite looking forward to forcing Wang Yueyun to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought was like poison, quickly occupying Wen Xishu's brain. Just thinking about Wang Yueyun preparing to hold the chainsaw to slaughter everything, and then suddenly discovering the art style around him was wrong... he couldn't wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Phoenix Constellation to be able to design such a thing, there was also a bit of perversion involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, under the effect of the chainsaw, the seventh level was also passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai returned to the hospital, Wang Ying was still playing the sixth level on the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai's personal attributes were still too strong, and combined with the controller, it was a completely perverted level of performance. Coupled with the chainsaw's attributes, it allowed Wen Xishu and the others to clear even harder levels faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu did not delay and quickly took Zheng Zai to start the eighth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The item they found in the room this time was a mirror. The ability of this mirror was also very simple: using the mirror as a shield, those who attacked the mirror would be counterattacked by their own image in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was naturally an incomparably powerful sharp weapon, but the items designed by Ding Dong were all powerful in concept, yet in actual use, they were limited by numerical values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the usage scenario, this mirror would of course not shatter, because that was the usage phase, and items would not break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the actual combat phase, the durability of this mirror had to be questioned. Used in conjunction with a wrench, it could theoretically infinitely replenish the mirror's durability, but when facing opponents that were too powerful, there was simply no chance to even perform these actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong's ability was very comprehensive; you couldn't imagine what kind of attributes he could create for items, but the strength of these items could never break through a certain extreme value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt to Wen Xishu that Ding Dong could handle various situations, but when facing an enemy with an extremely powerful single attribute, he might be defeated by the opponent's overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wen Xishu didn't care. Handling the eighth level, with the addition of props like the mirror, wrench, controller, and chainsaw, was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he and Zheng Zai finished the eighth level, they discovered that Wang Ying had also started the ninth level. Everyone seemed to be competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the ninth level, Wang Ying's item was a pair of glasses. This really made Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai feel very surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying seemed to have really built up his self-confidence. In the ninth level, rare types and elite types were likely to appear, and ordinary monsters might also be upgraded to high-level normal types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Ying actually dared to choose an item like glasses, which had absolutely no combat attributes in appearance, in such a late-stage level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu probably knew Wang Ying's thoughts; with the vacuum cleaner plus the glass bottle, his confidence would grow more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many times it was like this: when you couldn't take the first step, you would feel the road ahead getting harder and harder. But after you took the first step, there would often be a turn for the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability of the glasses was very simple: it could visualize the defense power of various parts of the monster's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the usage scenario, Wang Ying, wearing the glasses and cooperating with the attributes absorbed by the glass bottle and vacuum cleaner, precisely struck the weak parts of the monsters every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of the ninth level was on a train speeding on the tracks; the carriage was narrow, and Wang Ying couldn't quite perform to his full potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this also limited the number of monster attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai also began to prepare for the tenth level. This time, the Luo Pan guided Wen Xishu to a locked room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4-30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhuyuan Force building originally had 26 rooms, but it was later renovated and four more rooms were added. And the last room was 4-30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to this room was closed, and it was clearly written with two words—No Entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's actually a locked room here. Should we use the wrench to knock it back to its unlocked state?\" Zheng Zai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good idea, you can try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zheng Zai spoke, he raised the wrench, preparing to smash it against the door of 4-30, but the moment his hand was raised high, ready to smash down...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly discovered that his wrench began to petrify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be? This wrench was actually petrified.\" Zheng Zai was shocked and immediately gave up on smashing the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the action of smashing the door was canceled, Zheng Zai was surprised again; the petrification of the wrench actually began to slowly lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu saw it all and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like we can't forcibly break open this door. This is a puzzle-solving element; this door needs to be opened in the correct way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't think for too long, and he soon had the answer in his heart. He took Zheng Zai and started walking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen, why did we come back here?\" Zheng Zai looked at the room number: 4-22.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This room was the one where the gloves were located. Wen Xishu picked up the gloves and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is an item here that can open the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gloves?\" Zheng Zai asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not sure, but it definitely has something to do with the gloves. I suspect the gloves might be the key item to obtain the key to open the door,\" Wen Xishu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then isn't this a bit too easy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought for a moment and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, don't forget, there was actually a preparatory work before this. If we hadn't done this preparatory work, getting the gloves would be meaningless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai suddenly realized:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean... the five-star review?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the five-star review is the prerequisite for activating the gloves to obtain the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five-star review was what helped Wen Xishu obtain the invitation letter. But when Wen Xishu left five \"※\" symbols before, he was not yet the so-called \"fated person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Desire Tower, after the five people including Granny Wu each drew a \"※\", the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands, and feet would be projected onto the portrait. If Mo Yuan and the others wore the gloves and touched the drawing paper, Ding Dong would be born from the drawing paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Ding Dong had already been born, and Granny Wu and the others had left. So, the only one who could activate that ritual was the \"fated person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu knew very well that he was that fated person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wen Xishu put on the gloves. He had already completed the ritual of drawing the \"※\" earlier; the next thing to do was to touch the drawing paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the gloved hand touched the drawing paper, Zheng Zai widened his eyes; he saw a strange scene—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hexagon and circle on the portrait began to slowly move and change size, and emitted dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was very similar to the process of Ding Dong's birth, the difference being that the thing in the painting was no longer Ding Dong, but a key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the key in the painting was taken out by Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai clapped his hands and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you are simply amazing. You once again give me a feeling... that you seem to know the script.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time he met Brother Wen, Zheng Zai was thinking, how did Brother Wen seem to know the level design process, speed-running all the way? This time he had this feeling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, Old Zheng, let's see this grand finale treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3932,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5ab89a4ce7ac22952ec01588b1e7fc4ccc309799c61be0a120939efce5a9f2a3","the-three-towers-game-chapter-102","the-three-towers-game-chapter-100",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
