Chapter 16: The Three Towers Guide

White head, red head, black head.

The three heads were actually identical, but the head colors and facial expressions were different.

The black head was gloomy, and the smile was a bit ferocious and evil.

The white head's smile was very exaggerated, like a clown performing comedy.

The red head was not smiling, imposing without anger.

Wen Xishu did not adapt as quickly this time; honestly, he felt the guide's appearance was more sanity-draining than Strange Jack.

After being silent for about ten seconds, he began to ask questions:

"So, what does it mean that I can see three heads?"

Answering Wen Xishu was the guide's white head:

"Generally speaking, tower climbers can only see one of our heads. Whichever tower system's content they influence, they will see that head."

"You can see three, which means you just completed an incredible adventure; you changed the content of all three towers."

"Little brother, which one of us three do you think looks the best?"

The Three Towers Guide's three heads all looked at Wen Xishu.

The white head suddenly began to squirm with flesh. Before long, it actually had a rather beautiful female face.

The red head snorted with disdain.

The black head adjusted its smile, probably wanting to smile normally, but it looked even more sinister.

Wen Xishu was somewhat speechless; he had now completely adapted to this Three Towers Guide.

"According to the prompt, I need to complete 'account registration' here at the Guide."

He decided to get straight to the point.

Compared to chatting nonsense with the Guide, Wen Xishu was more concerned about what level of completion he had achieved.

And what kind of Strange Sequence Strange Jack had given him.

According to Wen Xishu's existing memory:

A sequence is an extremely rare item, and everyone has an initial sequence slot. One sequence can be inserted.

Sequences are also divided into three types: Slaughter Sequence, Strange Sequence, and Desire Sequence.

As one continuously explores the Three Towers, those with good luck can obtain rarer sequences, and there is also the possibility of a lucky explosion, opening additional sequence slots.

It is said that Xun Hui, the number one on the Slaughter Tower's Heavenly Ladder, has six sequence slots and is equipped with rare sequences in all of them.

However, the Three Towers Guide seemed interested in Wen Xishu's "affiliation."

"Tell me first, which head do you like?" The white Desire Tower woman's head seemed somewhat fawning.

The black Mysterious Tower head's smile became increasingly eager, but also extremely sinister.

The red Slaughter Tower head, although not smiling, seemed to be saying with its eyes: "Choose me; if you don't choose me, I'll kill you."

Wen Xishu was silent for a few seconds:

"Is there a reward if I choose?"

It was still the white head speaking; it was clearly the one with the most desire to communicate:

"You could say that. After choosing, your actions will have rewards for us."

"However, correspondingly, we will provide you with certain help in the relevant tower system. For example, if you choose me, then in the future, when you hang around the Tower of Desire... you will gain more."

"Occasionally, I can also provide you with some special information, which will make you very comfortable."

Wen Xishu became interested:

"Can't I choose all of them? I think all three of you are very kind-faced."

"Kind-faced"—this was the first time the three heads had heard this word. No matter how they changed, when the three heads were squeezed together, they had nothing to do with being kind-faced.

The three heads shook together, and because the frequency was inconsistent, they almost bumped into each other. The red Slaughter Tower head said:

"This is the rule! You can only choose one."

Wen Xishu said "Oh," and still said in a slow, unhurried tone:

"Tsk, then who should I choose? What are your advantages?"

The three heads were stunned.

Then, the white head seemed to react; they were being reverse-selected.

All along, when humans climbed the tower, whichever head of the Guide they saw first was the one they defaulted to choosing.

Most people... to be precise, everyone except for a few, only had one option.

Even if they transferred towers later, for example, someone transferring from the Slaughter Tower to the Tower of Desire, the Guide's options would not change.

Even so, even if they lost the Guide's help and favorability, many people still wanted to transfer to the Tower of Desire.

For these people, the Guide actually didn't care much.

But Wen Xishu was definitely worth caring about.

"Choose me, little brother. Everyone has desires. In the Tower of Desire, don't you want to do whatever you want?"

The white head's words were suggestive.

Wen Xishu looked at the black head; the black head's smile was still sinister.

And as Wen Xishu's gaze shifted, the red head and white head both shouted angrily:

"Number Three, you are not allowed to compete for this one anymore! You already have one!"

The black head said:

"But at the beginning, that slaughter-embryo could only see me too. It was only later, through his own efforts, that he saw you two."

Wen Xishu was slightly surprised: "Who is that slaughter-embryo? What is his name?"

"We can't reveal that. But if you choose me, perhaps I can give you some information in the future."

The one known as Number Three was precisely the black Mysterious Tower system head.

Wen Xishu finally understood.

Choosing a head was equivalent to choosing a specialization.

Choosing white was equivalent to having an extra bonus and extra growth value when gaining benefits in the Tower of Desire.

The Tower of Desire is a tower that specializes in the human heart. It is said that Wen Renjing, the number one on the Tower of Desire's Heavenly Ladder, has the ability to make everyone like him.

He can be described as a peerless heartthrob.

This is not just because of his innate appearance, but also because of the effect of the Desire Sequence.

Everyone will maintain goodwill toward him, love him, and like him.

However, even so, Wen Renjing has targets he cannot take down in the upper levels of the Tower of Desire. There are also many missions where he cannot achieve a level 5 or level 6 completion rate.

It can be seen that the difficulty of pleasing certain Three Towers people at the upper levels of the Tower of Desire is extremely perverted.

Wen Xishu thought about it; if he chose the Tower of Desire specialization, it wouldn't be bad.

But he preferred the Mysterious Tower.

Fighting and killing, talking about love... neither was what he liked.

Strange, outrageous, difficult to predict—these keywords were what he loved.

Although the Tower of Desire also seemed to show many places worth thinking about and pondering.

But Wen Xishu believed that the Mysterious Tower at the upper levels was more challenging.

And he was afraid he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of exploring the Mysterious Tower in the short term.

After returning to the Bunker, the leaders of the Bunker might not know how to torment him to continue exploring the Mysterious Tower.

"Although I really want to let you continue to sell your selling points and explain your core attractiveness before deciding who to hire..."

"But my side's needs are actually very clear, so congratulations, you are hired."

The black head symbolizing strangeness had a somewhat stiff smile. How did this sound a bit like the world was turned upside down?

The white head was clearly unhappy and stopped talking; the expression was quite aggrieved.

The red head said:

"Although you didn't choose the noble Slaughter system, at least you aren't one of those soft-egg guys who chose indulgence."

After saying this, the red head closed its eyes and stopped paying attention to Wen Xishu.

The black head laughed sinisterly a few times:

"Don't mind them. Our Mysterious system doesn't speculate based on common sense; this is the most noble."

Wen Xishu didn't want to waste time:

"How do I complete account registration?"

The black head said:

"First, you need to give me a codename."

"This is very important. Because exploring the Three Towers will yield material rewards, and all these materials will be marked with your codename."

"In addition, you can make certain adjustments to your body here with me."

Wen Xishu roughly understood; it was approximately equivalent to saying that although everyone could enjoy the materials, they would all see prompts similar to "This material belongs to xxx."

This was actually quite good.

Wen Xishu began to think about this question. Generally speaking, a codename naturally couldn't be his real name.

Just like people wouldn't use the name on their ID card to post on various forums.

But his situation seemed different.
