Chapter 107
Albert's words made even Xun Hui, with his stoic, unshakeable face, look shocked:
"You're crazy, but I'm not. If he can truly replace Wen Zhaohua and become the number one person in the Mysterious Tower, the three of us will be partners in the future, and the three of us can explore Level 7 missions together."
"If he's really as capable as you say, then he should be well protected."
"My level is not something they can touch. Old man, don't play too hard. If they really go to the same area as me..."
Albert raised his hand, directly interrupting Xun Hui's speech, and said:
"If they really go to the same area as you, the Comrade Wristbands themselves will balance the levels. In other words, they will most likely go to the lowest level you can reach."
"About... fifty-third floor? Or fifty-second floor? With your current strength, if you can't even bring a few dead weights to the fifty-third floor, you might as well not go to the sixtieth floor. Hahahaha, you will never surpass me in your lifetime."
Albert revealed a particularly annoying and disrespectful look.
Regardless, he had promised Wen Xishu, and Wen Xishu had also fulfilled the condition of letting Xun Hui be his sparring partner.
So Albert wouldn't care whether Wen Xishu could survive on this floor of the Slaughter Tower. His thought was: since you, Wen Xishu, made the request and you also completed the challenge I set, then let's go crazy.
Xun Hui really wanted to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight with Albert. He had done this before, but Albert really hit hard when he fought. After thinking about it, Xun Hui said:
"If you think there's no problem, then I have no problem either. I will go find them in the afternoon."
"Anything else?"
Xun Hui started to play his cards, four twos.
Albert said:
"There is one more question, a small matter. You're going to kill someone recently, right? I actually have a target."
Xun Hui asked:
"Who."
Albert said indifferently:
"The director of the Third Bureau of the Bunker's Government Affairs. Regarding the restoration of Wen Xishu's human rights and the retrieval of the merit points corresponding to the hospital and supplies, she has had disagreements with the directors of the Second Bureau and the Sixth Bureau of the Security Bureau."
Wen Renjing's hand hesitated as he played a card:
"Teacher, is this considered interfering in politics? Moreover, from her standpoint, she advocates for dealing with Wen Xishu, which doesn't seem to be a big mistake."
Albert shook his head:
"I have an old friend who has been avoiding me. In the past, when he was around, there were many tough guys in the Bunker Security Bureau. Now he is hiding and leaving some things for his subordinates to do, which has caused the Bunker to become a mess."
The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp. Although he was still smiling, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified.
After a slight pause, Albert spoke:
"I don't like it."
"I have no interest in the Bunker's politics. If Wen Xishu's performance is mediocre enough, I won't care about this child's life or death."
"I am only interested in one thing, and that is humanity conquering the Three Towers."
"Before long, the Second and Sixth Bureaus of the Bunker Security Bureau will officially establish a Mysterious Tower conquest force. And the Three Towers Academy will likely undergo huge changes in the near future."
"Wen Xishu could be a sinner after his first tower climb, and a sinner after his second, but now it's already his fourth time, and it's very likely he will start his fifth time this afternoon..."
"If he is still a sinner, it will hinder me. Wen Xishu's existence is very important to the new assault teams of the Second and Sixth Bureaus, and even to the Three Towers Academy, which is about to undergo changes."
"And these two projects are also very important for humanity to conquer the Three Towers. I don't interfere in politics, but politics had better not stand in my way."
Xun Hui said:
"You want me to kill the chicken to scare the monkey? And by the way, force that old friend of yours to come out and meet?"
Albert said:
"No, I don't hope you do that. If you don't do it, I will. I just think you can try; this is just a suggestion."
Xun Hui said:
"Fine."
His reply was very brief, but Wen Renjing could basically pronounce the death sentence for this director of the Third Bureau of the Bunker Security Bureau.
That afternoon, Slaughter Tower Department, student dormitory.
When the Comrade Wristbands were really brought over, Wang Yueyun and Nisen were both shocked. They developed a strong interest in Xiao Jin's family background.
Xiao Jin was very calm:
"This is all there is. I've asked around, and they said there are no better props for forming a team than this. The Comrade Wristbands are actually considered a type of accessory."
"They must be worn, but correspondingly, they don't occupy an item slot. But should we think about it again? Do we really want to go to the Slaughter Tower together?"
Xiao Jin was really afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would lead a group of people to a Slaughter Tower area beyond the twentieth floor.
That is a place where both rare and elite species are easily encountered.
Wen Xishu said:
"I'm going anyway."
"Wow, Brother Wen, you really have guts!" Xiao Jin instinctively praised.
Nisen and Wang Yueyun didn't say much, mainly because... they had been praised all night and didn't want to hear sentences starting with "Wow" anymore.
The two silently put on the Comrade Wristbands.
"Next, do we just need to activate this?" Xiao Jin had already taken out the login device, a red wristwatch.
Wang Yueyun and Nisen were the same, both having their login devices ready.
Wen Xishu was a bit helpless:
"No, not now. I still have to wait a while to get my login device. Let's wait a bit longer."
Wen Xishu only had a Mysterious Tower login device; he really didn't have a Slaughter Tower login device.
Wang Yueyun frowned:
"Wen Xun, you don't have a Slaughter Tower login device?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I do, but it's broken."
"This thing can break?" Nisen was greatly surprised.
Wen Xishu nodded without changing his expression:
"Yeah, it can break."
Wang Yueyun clearly knew that Wen Xishu climbed the tower frequently. On this point, he and Nisen were absolutely certain.
Now, Wen Xishu didn't have a Slaughter Tower login device... This made Wang Yueyun feel that something was wrong.
He didn't really believe the claim that the login device was broken.
Just yesterday, the day Wen Xishu returned, other students said that there was new news on the second floor of the Bunker.
That legendary savior, Wen Xishu, had once again conquered the Mysterious Tower and once again completed a Level 6 completeness challenge.
This time, what he brought back was another Level 6 facility. Bringing back three Level 6 facilities in ten days, all placed on the second floor of the Bunker.
This efficiency made even those who originally thought the rumors were too exaggerated feel that the level of exaggeration couldn't keep up with reality.
Wang Yueyun had actually always noticed one thing... it seemed that every time such news came, Wen Xun had just finished his classes not long ago.
Of course, such things must be a coincidence.
But Wen Xishu climbed the Mysterious Tower, and Wen Xun had also climbed the tower... but Wen Xun actually didn't have a Slaughter Tower login device.
How could a login device break?
Now a possibility came to Wang Yueyun's mind... Could it be that Wen Xun was climbing the Mysterious Tower?
That legendary figure named Wen Xishu was the one guiding Wen Xun!
Otherwise, how could Wen Xun have so confidently said the name of the Comrade Wristbands yesterday?
This thought made Wang Yueyun's breathing quicken.
At this moment, a teacher suddenly knocked on the door.
After Nisen opened the door, he discovered that it was actually the teacher from the Slaughter Tower Academy who taught combat techniques.
"Teacher Ye, why are you here?"
Teacher Ye's name was Ye Chenzhou. He was proficient in various combat techniques, lean, and looked full of explosive power at first glance.
Ye Chenzhou saw the students' Comrade Wristbands at a glance and was very surprised about what kind of background the children in this dormitory had to be able to get so many Comrade Wristbands.
"What is your situation? Where did these things come from? Yesterday, a total of four of you climbed the tower. At first, I was wondering why there were so many people climbing the tower. It wasn't that it wasn't allowed, but upon checking, you were actually from the same dormitory."
Wen Xishu said:
"Is there anything wrong with this? Teacher, can't we climb the tower together?"
Ye Chenzhou didn't show his inner surprise but said very seriously:
"Of course it's not appropriate. It's not that students can't form a team, but you have to report it first. We have to consider the level differences of the students. For example, student Miyamoto Yishu, if he forms a team with you, it will likely cause you to enter his level, making it very difficult to complete the kill count and difficult to leave the Slaughter Tower."
Ye Chenzhou was indeed acting with an attitude of responsibility toward the students, not wanting negligence to lead to accidents when the students entered the Slaughter Tower.
Although entering the Slaughter Tower meant risking one's life, all kinds of unsettling factors should be eliminated if possible; this was the duty of the teachers.
It's just that he used Miyamoto Yishu as an example, which made Wang Yueyun feel uncomfortable to some extent.
Ye Chenzhou said:
"The reason I came over is that I just saw the prop this student was holding, and it looked familiar... Hmm, you have the ability to get team-forming props; this is your skill."
"But if you want to form a team to climb the tower, it is required that the level difference of everyone does not exceed five levels. This requires you to submit a written document."
Wen Xishu could actually understand this teacher very well, but what he wanted was the level difference. He wasn't afraid of risking his life; as long as the rewards for risking his life were high enough, he could either be risking his life or on the way to risking his life.
Wen Xishu said:
"Teacher Ye, I am Wen Xun... Has the principal mentioned me to you?"
Ye Chenzhou nodded:
"Oh, student Wen, finally met you. Director Jia Baer greeted me and said that your curriculum is relatively special and doesn't need our management."
"It is understandable that the school implements different education for some people with good talent. I know you might be a bit confident in your abilities in the Slaughter Tower."
"But you can't do this; you must fill out a written application."
Obviously, Ye Chenzhou was a person who paid great attention to procedures.
Wen Xishu originally thought about agreeing first, having a few people go to the office to write an application, and then after returning to the dormitory, he would contact Jia Baer to settle this matter.
But just at this moment, exclamations suddenly came from the dormitory building.
Inside the dormitory building, the students of the Slaughter Tower Academy all ran out of their dormitories.
Miyamoto Yishu was originally still chatting with his roommates, telling them about his experiences in the Slaughter Tower... Suddenly, he heard a voice saying, "It's Senior Xun Hui!".
So in the next second, those junior students who were extremely interested in Miyamoto Yishu's experiences immediately left the dormitory.
In the hallway, many students originally wanted to go up and strike up a conversation, but Xun Hui's face, which was countless times colder than Wang Yueyun's, plus the faint murderous intent and chill, made the students afraid to get close.
The hallway was originally a bit noisy, but gradually, everyone felt the chill coming from Xun Hui.
They didn't even dare to make a sound, and the hallway slowly became quiet.
This was one of the prides of the Three Towers Academy and the current number one on the leaderboard.
The students couldn't help but guess what Xun Hui was doing here.
Miyamoto Yishu was still thinking... Could it be that he was coming for him?
The Miyamoto family and the Xun family didn't get along well. As a genius of the younger generation of a top family, Miyamoto Yishu had always been entrusted with high hopes to surpass Xun Hui in the future.
After entering the academy, the Miyamoto family shouted the gimmick, saying that Miyamoto Yishu would become the next number one on the leaderboard.
Miyamoto Yishu was indeed big-hearted and very proud. The resources he obtained were also very rich, which was simply not comparable to other students.
So at this moment, he was thinking, could Xun Hui be coming for him? Could it be that he really recognized his talent and wanted to see his future opponent?
This thought was quickly overturned because Xun Hui soon walked past the dormitory where Miyamoto Yishu was. When passing the dormitory door, he didn't even look at Miyamoto Yishu.
Not long after, he arrived at another dormitory.
A knock on the door sounded, and then the door was pushed open directly.
Ye Chenzhou was still educating Wen Xishu and the others a second ago, but the next second he suddenly stopped, feeling a sense of crisis.
He immediately turned his head and saw Xun Hui, who was taller than him.
Ye Chenzhou was shocked:
"You... why are you here?"
Xun Hui held a red Slaughter Tower login device in his hand and threw it lightly, which was caught by Wen Xishu.
"Your login device, Jia Baer asked me to give it to you. And, the old man just arranged for me, you are called... Wen... Wen Xun?"
Wen Xishu nodded. He had an impression of Xun Hui. To be precise, the owner of this body had met Xun Hui.
So he knew very well that Xun Hui knew his identity, and both of them had to act.
"Yes, I am Wen Xun."
"Hmm, get ready, I'll take you to the Slaughter Tower."
Ye Chenzhou suspected he had misheard.
Wang Yueyun and Nisen also suspected they had misheard, but Xiao Jin showed a happy expression:
"Wow, you are the person Grandpa told me I must learn from! Wow, your eyes, nose, ears, and mouth all grow so... so... very well."
Xiao Jin wanted to praise, but after being glared at by Xun Hui, he forgot how to organize his language for a moment.
Wang Yueyun looked at Wen Xishu:
"Wen Xun... who, who exactly are you?"
Wang Yueyun's dynamic vision was very good. Just now, before the login device was thrown out and caught by Wen Xishu, he saw the number on the dial.
Zero.
In other words, Wen Xun had just applied for a Slaughter Tower login device! This couldn't overturn Wen Xun's previous claim that the login device was broken.
But Wang Yueyun felt more and more that his guess was correct.
The bold guess that Wen Xishu guided Wen Xun to enter the Mysterious Tower seemed even more convincing after seeing that Xun Hui was actually willing to take him to the Slaughter Tower.
Nisen really wanted to rap a song, but before his bro-style opening could be shouted, he was frozen by Xun Hui's gaze, making him swallow those lame rhyming lyrics back.
Ye Chenzhou said:
"Are you crazy? They are all students; how can they go to the level you go to?"
Xun Hui said:
"Teacher Ye, this is the principal's intention. You can go and protest to the principal; I don't care."
Ye Chenzhou stopped talking. And in the hallway outside the door, all the students were in an uproar.
Not long ago, the students were all thinking about how awesome Miyamoto Yishu was, having three teachers act as his assistants to climb the Slaughter Tower.
What kind of background must this be?
They originally thought that Miyamoto Yishu was the most eye-catching genius among the freshmen of this batch.
But now, they encountered something even more explosive, almost incomprehensible.
The number one on the leaderboard, accompanying a first-year freshman of the Three Towers Academy to climb the tower? This is simply incredible.
Miyamoto Yishu was also shocked on the spot.
What is going on in this dormitory? He knew Xun Hui's oppressive feeling best.
His family members had always told him that as long as someone could beat Xun Hui, the Miyamoto family would be stronger than the Xun family.
Miyamoto Yishu had always been praised as a genius, and Miyamoto Yishu himself thought so too. He already possessed a good killing sequence, which was something many people couldn't have.
But if you asked others if Miyamoto Yishu was a genius, although others would say yes, the reason given would probably be something like "being able to compare with Xun Hui itself shows that the aptitude is good."
Surpassing Xun Hui was just a gimmick; being able to be compared with Xun Hui was itself being a genius.
Over the years, it seemed to be like this: if you want to praise how strong someone's Slaughter Tower talent is, you compare him with Xun Hui. It's normal not to be able to compare, but as long as you can be compared together, it means you are a genius.
Now, the person Miyamoto Yishu was determined to surpass actually went to a dormitory he didn't even know about, and seemed to be acting as a guard for a freshman he didn't even look down upon...
This made Miyamoto Yishu a bit angry. Where is your attitude as the number one on the leaderboard?
Inside the dormitory, Wen Xishu had already put on the login device.
Ye Chenzhou said:
"Hu Nao! Too much nonsense! What about the safety of the students! Xun Hui, even you can't be so willful."
Ye Chenzhou looked at Wang Yueyun:
"Wang Yueyun, you are the most sensible. Do you really think you can fight at the level where Xun Hui is? You are all geniuses; don't mess around!"
Wang Yueyun shook his head:
"Teacher Ye, I don't know if I can, but if I don't even dare to go, how can I talk about surpassing him?"
Xun Hui's attention had always been on Wen Xishu and Xiao Jin, but after hearing this sentence from Wang Yueyun, he took a slight look at Wang Yueyun:
"Not bad."
Wang Yueyun was extremely excited inside, but on the surface, he had to maintain composure and calmness. This "king of posing" aura on Xun Hui, which was stronger than his own, made Wang Yueyun very envious.
Xun Hui indeed felt it was not bad. Compared to the group of people outside who didn't even dare to get close to him, this child could accept the invitation under the condition of his murderous aura being released, and even threatened to surpass him...
In his view, having this temperament is not bad.
"Let's go, follow me to the Material Department. Oh, those who are timid and afraid can stay behind."
