Chapter 141: Reliable Teammates

~32 min read 6,251 words

Ling Chen smashed the jar.

That smash seemed to carry a hint of anger.

Because not long ago, Ling Chen had an argument with his older brother.

Ling Fu said:

"You should be the one to take the lead, so that I don't fall from my high position. I haven't settled the score for what just happened yet."

Ling Chen was confused:

"Big brother... what did I do wrong?"

Ling Fu smiled and said:

"When I am here, do you need to speak? 'Let the old, weak, sick, and disabled die; it's better than letting the young and capable die.' Heh, good brother, do you think you have great organizational skills?"

Ling Fu's smile made Ling Chen afraid. Ling Chen remembered that when he was a child, his brother would smile just like this before beating him.

But in the blink of an eye, the cruel meaning in Ling Fu's smile faded:

"But don't be afraid. We are blood brothers. In this world, you are my only family."

"You already went in once for taking the fall for me. So, let's perform well this time and strive to latch onto Wen Xishu's thigh."

"You saw Wen Xishu's performance just now; that person is not in the same league as us. He has too many mysterious trump cards. Good brother, you need to show some spirit. From now on, I need you to be just like him and take the lead."

Ling Chen couldn't refuse his brother's request at all, especially when his brother's hand was pressing on the back of his head as if caressing him.

He was terrified that if he said no, his brother would press down hard and force his head into the ground.

Thus, Ling Chen, who possessed extraordinary numerical talent, unexpectedly became the first person in the group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled to open a jar.

That smash, more or less, carried a bit of anger.

But the result of the smash surprised everyone, including Wen Xishu.

A key.

After the jar shattered, the object that appeared inside was a key.

The silvery, gleaming key emitted a faint silver luster, quite conspicuous in the dim room.

Someone thought of what it was and tried to pick it up, but was held back by the person behind them.

Whoever throws the jar, the item belongs to them; this rule definitely cannot be broken.

Wen Xishu looked at it and smiled. He truly hadn't expected that such a thing would be here.

Ling Fu locked his eyes on Wen Xishu immediately:

"Lord Wen Xishu, your magic resistance is the highest. Can you tell me what this is?"

"According to my observations, there is nothing in this room that needs to be specifically opened."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"This key is called the Escape Key. If you drip blood onto the key, you can directly..."

"Return to the original world, which is the bunker we are familiar with, and you won't be sucked away by any vortex for three hours. It provides three hours of resistance against vortex suction."

"At the same time, it can force you to leave a Mysterious Tower scene once. Only once. Of course, if you don't use the key but keep it, then if you successfully return to the bunker, the key's usage count becomes two."

"It should be noted that the key's effect is considered an escape effect, not a clearance effect. Therefore, the number on your login device will not change. You will not receive any rewards either. It counts as an emergency life-saving item. And its range of use is quite large."

The whole room was in an uproar. If this isn't a divine artifact, what is?

Although everyone's definition of a divine artifact is different, in the eyes of these people who still have a high, terrifying, and mysterious filter for the Mysterious Tower, this is a divine artifact. Anything that can save a life is a divine artifact.

Wen Xishu patted Ling Chen on the shoulder:

"This key belongs to you now. You can choose to leave, or you can stay."

What surprised Wen Xishu was that Ling Chen only glanced at his brother Ling Fu before saying softly:

"I'll stay. I want to accompany my brother, and... I can dispose of the key freely, right? I want to give it to my brother. He is the owner of the key now. Is that okay?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"As you wish. Gifting is also a way of disposing of it."

Wen Xishu didn't seem to care on the surface, but he was very curious inside... what is going on with these two brothers?

Why is the younger brother so afraid of his older brother? If this were an NPC in the Mysterious Tower, I doubt even Gemini would be interested, right?

Wen Xishu couldn't ask too much.

Next, an old man without a tongue from the Ling brothers' squad began to open a jar.

The jar was very light; after all, even a brat could smash it. The old man also lifted the jar and smashed it onto the ground.

Bang! Everyone around jumped.

But soon, the old man looked a bit disappointed, yet also a bit relieved.

Wen Xishu's rule was that three people make a squad, two are responsible for recording, and one is responsible for opening the jar. At the same time, the three supervise each other, and no one is to open jars in private. Jar opening happens where the crowd gathers.

So next to the old man, there were also two recorders, and the two recorders said:

"Empty."

So there are empty jars after all...

Only then did everyone realize.

Wen Xishu thought it was reasonable. If every jar had something in it...

Then the survival and death mechanisms of this challenge would be too numerous. Thousands of mechanisms would be overly complicated.

Sure enough, the next three people in a row opened empty jars.

At the same time... at this moment, someone noticed something.

Because everyone was very hungry, this also led to everyone's sense of smell being extremely sensitive.

While people were concentrating on opening jars, the aroma of food suddenly wafted over.

Wen Xishu and the others smelled it too.

"Ah, it smells so good, bro. I'm starving to death!" Nisen said immediately upon smelling the scent.

Zheng Zai was also very hungry, but he felt that he could eat the corpse of the brother without a head from earlier...

It's just, it's just that he would have to avoid everyone's gaze.

Although in a sense, that brother named Ayovich should be properly buried... but Zheng Zai wasn't eating a human for the first time. He felt—once a dead person is dead, their value is not as high as a living person.

So—don't waste it; wasting is shameful.

In short, everyone was hungry.

Wen Xishu said:

"Six jars have been thrown. We have completed one-fifth of the jar count and received a food reward, though I guess there shouldn't be much food."

"Mr. Lang, would you and Mr. Fang go take a look?"

Lang Haidu and Fang Tianhen walked toward the dining hall together.

After the two arrived at the dining hall, they saw from the huge rectangular dining table that about one-fifth of the seats had food.

It was very fragrant and very sumptuous. There was food for about forty people.

Lang Haidu understood immediately:

"It seems that once one-fifth of the jars are opened, one-fifth of the food will be provided..."

"That means all thirty jars must be opened before everyone can sit at the table to eat!"

Fang Tianhen was actually very afraid of opening jars. Don't let his burly appearance fool you; when faced with such strange things, he was instinctively afraid. But at this moment, after seeing the food, Fang Tianhen mustered his courage:

"Damn it, I want to open jars!"

In the hall, Wen Xishu and everyone soon learned about the situation in the dining hall.

Wen Xishu said:

"There are twenty or so jars left. Everyone, keep it up. Let's strive to sit at the table and eat together soon."

Part of the game's rules were gradually being figured out.

But as of now, except for Wen Xishu's God-Slayer Finger, everyone else opening jars basically still had to rely on luck.

When the Ling brothers' squad opened the seventh jar, which was the tenth jar in total...

Actually, when the eighth jar was opened, a problem appeared—

Shadow.

The mysterious shadow once again dragged the person opening the jar into the shadow, bringing death.

This time, Wen Xishu tried to rescue, and the shadow indeed did not let Wen Xishu fall in immediately.

Because Wen Xishu's magic resistance was high, but Wen Xishu also couldn't pull the person who had already fallen into the shadow out.

This was just a small interlude; everyone tacitly accepted that such things would happen.

People mourned for the dead; some were sincere, while others felt it was only natural.

Death reduced everyone's blind optimism and also stimulated everyone to think about the rules of this level.

Next, the tenth jar was an item.

A hammer. The hammer was very small; calling it a hammer, it was more like the kind of wrench you could hide in your pocket to play soccer.

The person who opened the jar happened to be someone without hands. He relied on amazing bite force to bite the jar up, and then, with the help of neck strength, smashed the jar.

Undoubtedly, in order to survive, some of his body parts had been honed to be very powerful.

After the hammer appeared, he looked at Wen Xishu:

"My name is Bao Longtao. Mr. Wen Xishu, can you tell me what effect this hammer has?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Bao Longtao, your luck is quite good. So far, you are the one with the best luck among everyone."

"In my opinion, this thing is better than the key."

"It can interrupt the actions of evil things. Let's take an example: the person who opens the shadow will be swallowed by the shadow, but the swallowing is a process. We tried it just now... unfortunately, we couldn't stop the shadow from swallowing."

"Although my magic resistance is high, it only allows me to protect myself."

"But with this hammer, there is no problem. The hammer has three chances every day to interrupt the shadow and put it into a dizzy state."

"Within three seconds, we can save the person who opened the shadow."

"Three chances a day. Now, you can save three people every day. In addition, like the previous items, after being brought out of the scene, it can also play a role in other scenes."

"In other scenes, if you strike an object with all your might, you can make that object lose its core function for five minutes. Limited to three times. This time, it's not three times per mission, but you only have three times in total."

Bao Longtao bit the hammer with his mouth, while also making a somewhat garbled sound:

"Good... good, my luck is indeed not bad. At least I can save people. Lord Wen Xishu, you can lead us out, right?"

Wen Xishu did not hesitate and nodded:

"Of course."

Bao Longtao seemed to have found the courage to live. Undoubtedly, as a disabled person, he knew how inconvenient it was to have no hands.

His legs were trained to the extreme, and he had also trained his bite force to be much stronger than an ordinary person's.

But even so, Bao Longtao would still miss many opportunities.

He decided that if any big shot needed his help, he would help. If he could owe himself a favor, once back in the bunker, that would be a resource.

At this moment, Bao Longtao truly felt something—

Coming to the Mysterious Tower, everything is possible. Nine deaths and one life is indeed real. But it is also possible to defy the heavens and change fate.

Zheng Zai and Amiao seemed to see their former selves in Bao Longtao.

There were twenty jars left.

This time it was the turn of Fang Tianhen's squad.

Fang Tianhen thought about it; he still had to take the lead.

He was a person who liked to fight; he was the kind of hoodlum who valued loyalty.

Earlier, Fang Tianhen felt that he might not be able to manage people, but Wen Xishu gave a very good demonstration: if you can't manage people, then take the lead to set an example and increase your prestige.

Fang Tianhen lifted the jar, but instead of smashing it on the ground, he crushed it directly.

This terrifying grip strength left Zheng Zai and Nisen stunned.

Nisen didn't expect that there would be someone so abnormal in terms of strength.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but think of Tong Ming.

Actually, there were quite a few geniuses with "God of War" physiques in the bunker. It's just that these people, for various reasons, could not enter the Three Towers Academy.

The jar was crushed. Fang Tianhen didn't open an empty jar; his luck was very bad... and he didn't open a shadow that could be saved.

The item Fang Tianhen opened caused the whole situation to instantly fall into a dangerous predicament.

Fang Tianhen opened a sash.

At this moment, Fang Tianhen only felt his strength increasing explosively.

Those terrifying muscles became even more terrifying.

Wen Xishu also saw Fang Tianhen's name appear above his head—

And the name had turned red.

This was a mission with a luck component, and unfortunately, Fang Tianhen was one of the people with the worst luck so far.

At this moment, he knelt on one knee and picked up the sash.

Unlike Ayovich, who possessed self-will.

Ayovich only opened a piece of skirt fabric and became a divine servant, but to a large extent, he still possessed self-consciousness.

But Fang Tianhen had no choice at all; he opened the sash directly.

Wen Xishu stared at the sash and discovered the introduction of the sash's ability.

This was a sash from the Shoe Girl. The shoes would make all ugly creatures beautiful.

And increasingly beautiful. The crystal shoes in fairy tales also needed a Cinderella who was already beautiful. But the shoes in this scene didn't need that; they could directly make people beautiful.

At the same time, after a person became beautiful to the extreme... even the clothing on their body would radiate charm.

And the previous owner of the shoes, after wearing them, made all their clothing and even accessories possess magic.

The magic of the sash was to transform people into divine guards capable of guarding the Shoe Girl.

Divine guards possessed terrifying power and "absolute" loyalty.

Fang Tianhen didn't even have time to say anything before he had completely turned into a servant of the goddess.

He stood up. At this moment, the only instruction Fang Tianhen received was—

Kill the person who poses the greatest threat to the goddess.

Thus, Fang Tianhen charged directly toward Wen Xishu!

Wen Xishu's reaction was very fast. Now he had plenty of items in his item bar!

Wen Xishu's first reaction was to summon Zheng Zai!

Zheng Zai was also very tacit; the moment he saw Brother Wen take out the controller, he also took out his chainsaw.

But faster than Zheng Zai were Wang Yueyun, Nisen, and Jin Shan.

Although the three no longer had the Slaughter Tower panel, this was a Mysterious Tower Great Devouring.

But the three's fighting skills and combat reactions were not for show.

Jin Shan's body was extremely agile. In the blink of an eye, he jumped onto the head of Fang Tianhen's burly body.

Nisen had long wanted to compare strength with Fang Tianhen. The moment Fang Tianhen charged toward Wen Xishu, Nisen gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and actually blocked Fang Tianhen head-on.

However, he was also the one who bore the brunt. The strength of the divine-guard-transformed Fang Tianhen was simply not something an ordinary person without a Slaughter Tower panel could contend with.

Even though Nisen was gifted, it was difficult to resist. Everyone heard the sound of bones breaking.

It was Nisen's wrist bone being crushed.

But Nisen didn't take half a step back, his teeth clenched so hard his gums bled.

Fang Tianhen... or rather, Divine Guard Fang Tianhen, didn't expect that a human could block him head-on.

He was clearly stunned for half a second.

In those half a second, Jin Shan reacted quickly and covered Fang Tianhen's eyes.

Instinctively, Fang Tianhen withdrew his hand, trying to grab Jin Shan down.

But Wang Yueyun, like an assassin, took a dagger, bypassed Nisen directly, and stabbed into Fang Tianhen's neck from the side.

This scene stunned both Ling Fu and Lang Haidu.

The three people around Wen Xishu had such tacit cooperation?

Wen Xishu himself was a bit surprised.

Clearly, he had put a lot of pressure on the three, because his performance had already surpassed the three too much.

But Wang Yueyun's efforts were not just talk. The three of them were also desperately chasing Wen Xishu.

Jin Shan's reaction was on the same level as Xun Hui's. And Wang Yueyun, knowing that his physical fitness couldn't compare to Nisen's, decided to focus on training explosive power.

Perhaps his comprehensive quality couldn't catch up to Nisen's, but the maximum value burst out in a certain moment would definitely surpass Nisen's.

This was the training strategy Wang Yueyun thought of.

The strength of Fang Tianhen after being transformed into a divine guard was definitely enough to kill everyone present.

But no one expected that Wen Xishu had such three powerful guards by his side.

Zheng Zai sighed: The academy faction is indeed the academy faction. They are just stronger than wild-road people like us.

The gold content of the Three Towers Academy students was finally reflected a little at this moment.

However...

The next scene was too horrific.

Divine Guard Fang Tianhen suddenly moved. After being stabbed through the neck, everyone thought Fang Tianhen would definitely die...

But Fang Tianhen didn't die. He first threw Jin Shan off his body, smashing him heavily onto the ground. Immediately after, an elbow strike sent Wang Yueyun flying.

As for Nisen, Fang Tianhen lifted Nisen with one hand and smashed him heavily onto the ground.

In an instant, Wen Xishu's three guards were all beaten down.

Everyone was terrified and retreated.

Wen Xishu suddenly realized...

"No wonder, no wonder Ayovich's final way of death was having his head exploded."

"At that time, I was thinking, Ayovich couldn't be completely controlled, and that Shoe Girl could kill Ayovich to punish him..."

"But why make the head explode? Was it to prevent Ayovich from revealing more game rules?"

"Now I understand... Divine guards and divine servants are very likely set up like zombies; as long as they have a head, they won't die."

"So Wang Yueyun and the others, the three of them cooperating, actually succeeded. If Wang Yueyun hadn't chosen to stab into the neck, but into the temple... perhaps they really could have achieved the feat of an ordinary person killing a divine guard."

Wen Xishu's brain made many thoughts in an instant. At the same time, facing the charging Divine Guard Fang Tianhen...

Wen Xishu was not panicked at all, controlling Zheng Zai to send out a crescent slash.

In the spacious hall, due to everyone's retreat, this crescent slash wouldn't hurt the innocent.

Divine Guard Fang Tianhen was clearly stunned, even more surprised than when Nisen was able to block him.

【Impossible! Impossible!】

The barrage floated out.

Wen Xishu wanted to touch the barrage, so he could directly obtain the memory about the Shoe Girl.

But unfortunately, his hands couldn't do other things right now. If the controller operation was even a little slow... it would lead to him being killed by Fang Tianhen.

People controlled by the controller would also receive strength enhancement. This was why Zheng Zai could fight against normal and rare species in the previous mental hospital museum.

The next scene exceeded everyone's understanding.

Nisen spat out blood, having been hit quite hard, and the corners of Jin Shan's and Wang Yueyun's mouths were also bloody.

The three's performance was actually very stunning, but at this moment, seeing Zheng Zai with the iron mask waving the chainsaw—they were still stunned.

This is the Mysterious Tower, brother...

Big brother, who are you? Do you know that your speed and strength now have far surpassed human limits?

Why can you still emit Qi slashes?

The three's common sense and cognition were all overturned. At the same time, they also felt... Wen Xishu is indeed Wen Xishu, always having trump cards, and it would never be their turn to worry.

The three had a feeling of the Mera Mera no Mi user overestimating their ability by blocking magma for the Sun God Nika.

Wen Xishu could see the barrage on many people's heads. The barrage in the hall was dense at this moment...

They were probably all having the same reaction as Wang Yueyun and Nisen.

In addition...

Everyone was still surprised by one thing, and that was the art style.

Amiao was initially amazed at Zheng Zai's speed. None of them knew that Zheng Zai was being controlled by a controller.

So Amiao was just thinking, no wonder Ah Shu said... if he died, Zheng Zai would replace him.

It turns out Zheng Zai is this strong?

But an even more outrageous scene came. Countless soap bubbles appeared inexplicably.

Candlelight passed through the soap bubbles, presenting a seven-colored light.

Cotton candy and rainbow candy kept flying around, and occasionally some small pink horses with wings would dance happily.

The small pink horses would bring some mental encouragement to Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai, and those rainbow candies and cotton candy allowed Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu to recover quite a bit of physical strength.

Even Nisen, Wang Yueyun, and Jin Shan on the side received healing effects.

As for the soap bubbles, there were many at first, and then they kept merging, turning into a huge soap bubble.

Inside the soap bubble, Fang Tianhen's speed slowed down!

Amiao really had her eyes opened. Zheng Zai was... quite cute.

Ling Fu widened his eyes:

"Damn it... this thing, theoretically, could wipe us all out... but Wen Xishu can actually rely on his own team and means to forcibly resolve the crisis?"

Ling Fu could see it now. Zheng Zai's speed couldn't be that fast; it must have been enhanced by some item.

Undoubtedly, that item was the super complex controller full of buttons in Wen Xishu's hand.

In other words... for a survival mission that is nine deaths and one life for others, and after opening a jar that is almost a dead end—

Wen Xishu can rely on the strength of their team alone to forcibly survive.

"In terms of numerical value, he is simply not in the same league as us."

"Fang Tianhen's state must be much stronger than that Ayovich. But it probably isn't the Shoe Girl's strongest means."

"The Shoe Girl must have even more terrifying ways of killing, but..."

Ling Fu let out a long sigh:

"But Wen Xishu might not lack other trump cards."

Ling Fu actually treated Wen Xishu as an enemy from the beginning.

The reason was simple: he resisted everyone who tried to be above him.

But now, he realized that the gap between himself and Wen Xishu was truly too large.

If you are facing someone who is smarter than you and has more means than you, the best way is not to become an enemy.

Ling Fu soon decided what role he should play next.

The duel between Zheng Zai and Fang Tianhen finally came to an end.

Even the enhanced Zheng Zai was not Fang Tianhen's opponent...

But the chainsaw in Zheng Zai's hand, plus Zheng Zai biting Fang Tianhen from time to time...

Made the battle situation a draw.

But Wang Yueyun didn't give up fighting. Although he knew that Zheng Zai was much stronger than the three of them, the three's injuries had healed.

Wang Yueyun decided to try an assassination again.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Shan said:

"Maybe we should attack the head!"

Wang Yueyun nodded; he and Jin Shan thought of the same thing.

Jin Shan, who had amazing flexibility and sensitivity, with the help of Zheng Zai's cover, jumped onto Fang Tianhen's shoulder again.

Wen Xishu understood immediately; the three intended to repeat the old trick.

So he simply let Zheng Zai throw away the chainsaw and use both hands to clamp Fang Tianhen's hands.

Nisen locked Fang Tianhen from behind, further fixing him.

After such a tight pincer attack, Wang Yueyun's assassination was a matter of course.

One hit kill, the dagger pierced through the temple.

At this moment, the barrage appeared again. The effect of the Undead Guide was triggered, and Wen Xishu saw the barrage—not the Shoe Girl's, but Fang Tianhen's.

【Really unlucky, damn it, I'm done for... dying so miserably.】

Fang Tianhen died.

The divine guard was also stopped.

At this time, Nisen, Wang Yueyun, Jin Shan, and Zheng Zai sat on the ground at the same time.

"We... performed okay, right?" Zheng Zai said.

"Of course..." Wang Yueyun responded.

Although a squad leader died, based on the fact that Wen Xishu survived, and Wen Xishu suppressed violence with violence...

This actually made everyone not so depressed.

Everyone also understood the gold content of the few people around Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:

"Zheng Zai, this corpse, and the corpse of Ayovich just now... leave them to you to handle."

Everyone was actually still worrying about the corpses. Upon hearing that Zheng Zai could handle them, they felt relieved.

Of course, they definitely didn't know how Zheng Zai handled them.

Wen Xishu wasn't worried about whether Zheng Zai would have any adverse reactions from eating the corpses.

After all... Zheng Zai had eaten the most dangerous grandfather in the dungeon back then.

Making the dungeon unable to operate normally. He forcibly turned a supernatural horror survival game into a gourmet game.

Zheng Zai began to handle the corpses.

Wen Xishu said:

"Everyone, our luck can't be considered particularly bad... there's good and bad. Let's continue opening jars."

"For the new leader, let Ling Chen take it... no, Ling Fu, you take it. You manage Fang Tianhen's squad."

Wen Xishu felt that the Ling Chen and Ling Fu brothers were in a strange state; they didn't look like normal brothers.

Ling Chen didn't seem to be able to handle these burly men who were used to brute force, so he let Ling Fu go.

Moreover, he had just displayed Zheng Zai, the big killer, plus the performance of the three roommates...

Presumably, those guys who thought they were superior because they had strength wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Ling Fu said:

"No problem, Mr. Wen. I am happy to accept your arrangement."

Ling Chen glanced at his brother. He felt that his brother should have no hostility toward the new legend of the bunker.

Capable people always think about climbing to a high position first. Only after discovering that the person in the high position truly has the ability matching the status... will they truly settle down.

Fang Tianhen's death still made Wen Xishu feel a bit regretful.

But he also realized one point: Fang Tianhen had no choice, not even a chance to resist.

From the final barrage...

Fang Tianhen probably hoped that he could die like a man, just like Ayovich.

It's just that the power of the sash was far superior to the skirt fabric fragments, which also led to Fang Tianhen having no chance.

But undoubtedly, Wen Xishu sensed something.

The bunker's rule is rotten and terrible. But the people at the bottom of the bunker actually still have a kind of integrity.

This made him feel extremely rare.

Wen Xishu picked up the sash.

The notes for the sash had disappeared. Clearly—it was some kind of consumable.

It could only enslave one unit. After enslaving, it turned into ordinary cloth.

Wen Xishu said:

"Continue opening jars."

Under Ling Fu's leadership, the next few burly men opened jars.

The luck was not bad. Someone opened a food recipe.

The effect was simple: the food every day is the same, but the food recipe can be exchanged for new food.

It didn't help with survival, but having more choices when eating is always good, and—not opening any dirty things is a victory.

After opening twenty jars... Wen Xishu discovered that empty jars were actually the most numerous.

As of now, the results of twenty jars—a key, a hammer, a finger, four shadows, a piece of skirt fabric, a sash, and the rest were all empty jars.

The probability of opening an empty jar exceeded one-half.

In other words, the survival probability of a person opening a jar is greater than one-half.

The last squad to open jars was Wen Xishu's squad.

Through the process of opening jars earlier, Wen Xishu discovered the following points—

1. From the appearance of the jars... there is no difference. Do not try to observe the jars. The only thing that can observe the jars is the item inside the jar.

2. No jar can directly resurrect the Shoe Girl. This is the most critical point. The Shoe Girl needs several parts of the jar to be opened... before she can gradually resurrect, rather than in one step. Otherwise, after Fang Tianhen was transformed into a divine guard, he wouldn't have chosen to kill himself, but should have opened jars instead.

It can be seen that in the Shoe Girl's eyes, he is the greatest threat, greater than any single jar.

3. The Shoe Girl probably doesn't know what's in the jars either. Perhaps the Shoe Girl knows, but she has to open certain items of the Shoe Girl for the Shoe Girl to remember.

The next few jars were safe. Someone opened a shadow, but was saved by Bao Longtao.

Bao Longtao didn't save people before, thinking of specifically saving big shots. This is the same principle as "touching porcelain" (faking an accident). Who would choose a QQ Chery to fake an accident with? You would definitely choose a luxury car.

But for the last few jars, if Bao Longtao didn't save people, then there would be no saving.

So he didn't hold back. The few people who opened the shadow last... were all saved by Bao Longtao.

Wen Xishu made a contribution table, adding points based on everyone's performance and various behaviors.

With a scoring system, the people in the small society became active.

Finally, there were a few jars in Wen Xishu's squad that Wen Xishu opened.

The twenty-fifth jar,

Wen Xishu used the God-Slayer Finger to approach the jar, and the finger reacted.

At this moment, everyone knew that there was a dirty thing in the jar.

Wen Xishu could choose to force it open, making the dirty thing become a good thing.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he changed a jar. After changing a jar, this time the God-Slayer Finger didn't react.

This meant that the jar either had a good thing, or... had nothing.

Wen Xishu chose to smash the jar.

Unfortunately, his luck wasn't very good; this was an empty jar.

But Wen Xishu didn't care.

Soon, he began to open the next jar.

It is worth mentioning that the God-Slayer Finger, used three times, refers to identifying three times.

It does not mean "appearing three times" of dirty things.

So Wen Xishu's three chances a day had actually been used twice.

Next, the God-Slayer Finger could be used for the last time today.

The twenty-sixth jar, the God-Slayer Finger didn't move.

The three identification chances were used up.

This jar, the probability is an empty jar, or a good item.

Wen Xishu knew that only by opening good things could he lead everyone to win.

So he was actually a bit nervous too.

At this time, he began to think about where in his tower-climbing career he had witnessed miraculous good luck...

Simply put, Wen Xishu hoped to find someone to help him open it. Just like being obsessed with a card-drawing game, finding someone to change the luck.

Wen Xishu had never been very confident in his own luck...

Although he actually already had heaven-defying good luck, sometimes, he also had very bad luck.

So Wen Xishu began to think...

Soon he really thought of one thing: when picking up the An brothers, Amiao's identity was a racer, and his identity was a wanderer.

At this moment, Wen Xishu seemed to feel... Amiao was the chosen one!

So Wen Xishu said:

"Amiao, this jar won't be dangerous. Will you open it?"

Amiao actually really wanted to open a jar. As a woman, she was delicate, and her current work was mainly reflected in managing the crowd.

But she also wanted to have a more eye-catching performance like Wang Yueyun's trio, or Zheng Zai, so Amiao said:

"Okay, okay!"

Actually, even without the God-Slayer Finger's identification, Amiao would be eager to try when faced with Ah Shu's suggestion.

She didn't think she was lucky; it was just that Ah Shu brought her luck.

Sometimes, when two unlucky people meet, there will be a chemical reaction where everyone becomes lucky.

Wen Xishu also thought of this point and handed it to Amiao.

So Amiao lifted the jar:

"Then... then I'll smash it!"

Wen Xishu nodded. In this dungeon where luck determines sixty percent of the victory, perhaps Amiao is the person of miracles.

He thought so, and then heard a bang.

There was clearly an item on the ground.

Wen Xishu didn't realize how good this thing was at first, but then... he looked at the popping barrage and exclaimed.

Good guy, is it really an "Ou Huang" (lucky person) physique? Amiao, you are too amazing.

This is really "Miao Miao's mother taking Miao Miao back to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," amazing to the extreme.

Everyone also saw it; a lump of soft mud appeared on the ground.

Everyone stared at that lump of soft mud and saw the dialog box popped up by the soft mud.

But the dialog box was all garbled. Only Wen Xishu knew the complete content.

Amiao was a bit disappointed:

"Why... why is it a lump of mud... Ah Shu, I'm sorry, I seem to have bad luck."

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Amiao, who said you have bad luck! This luck is too good!"

Wen Xishu's eyes were incomparably excited.

This scene made the merchant Lang Haidu and the Ling brothers all notice.

Ling Fu didn't know what that thing was, but something that could make Wen Xishu show this expression... is definitely a good item.

"That woman... could it be that she has a hidden attribute of strong luck?"

"Wen Xishu's team is really strong without dead ends. And these guys are all so loyal."

Ling Fu was somewhat envious, but he wanted to know more about what this lump of mud meant.

Wen Xishu didn't sell it anymore and said:

"This lump of mud is called Shaping Mud..."

"A very awesome item. If it's brought out of the scene, in my opinion, this thing is also orange-tier at the start."

Orange?

This color, only Wen Xishu, Xun Hui, and the principal have come into contact with.

Others have to queue up even for blue item rentals, let alone purple, and orange, which is several levels stronger than purple.

Amiao doubted she heard it wrong:

"Orange?"

Wen Xishu said:

"It can transform into any... any item we have in this scene, such as the sash from earlier, such as the shadow, such as the skirt fabric, such as the key, the hammer, or the finger."

"The function won't change, but it is worth mentioning that if it turns into a sash, it will transform someone into a divine guard, but the divine guard will no longer be loyal to the Shoe Girl, but loyal to the person who smashed the jar."

"If you bring out the item, then this item can copy any purple or purple-below item. The copy time lasts for one week. After one week ends, it can be copied into a new item."

"With it, any powerful item we open next is equivalent to having a double, even if it's an item from the Shoe Girl's camp... it can also be copied and used by us!"

Zheng Zai looked at Amiao:

"Little sister... is your luck this explosive?"

Amiao was a bit embarrassed:

"This... this is actually Ah Shu's jar; it has nothing to do with me."

Wen Xishu laughed:

"Hahahaha, Schrödinger's jar~ Who knows what it is before opening it? Whoever opens it, that's whose luck is good. Amiao, you are really a lucky general."

Amiao said:

"Then what should we copy it into?"

Wen Xishu thought about it. This thing might be an item that can decide the outcome, but it's definitely not suitable for use now.

"Don't move it yet. You keep it safe. Zheng Zai, you are now responsible for Amiao's safety."

Zheng Zai stood at attention again:

"Understood!"
