Chapter 17: Over-fulfillment

As for his appearance, Wen Xishu had no intention of making any adjustments.

As a thrill-seeker who loved extreme sports, Wen Xishu had to admit that this current body was inexplicably well-suited for him.

In the process of protecting Jennifer, he felt quite at ease.

Although he hadn't reached the exaggerated level of his past life, it was still not bad; with some training, his upper limit would only be higher.

Furthermore, choosing his original face would make it easier to cooperate with the people in the bunker. If he needed to hide his identity, he would use a mask.

However, Wen Xishu's biggest trouble now was that he needed popularity.

Only with enough fame could he survive.

He had to let many people know what Wen Xishu had done, how great a contribution Wen Xishu had made, and what Wen Xishu had brought back from the Strange Tower.

If he had achieved a Level 4 completion rate, then he must ensure everyone recognized it; there could be no possibility of it being denied.

In other words, he needed to increase the public opinion cost of having him killed.

Wen Xishu did not hesitate for long, and after a moment of thought, he said:

"Codename: Wen Xishu. No need to adjust the body either."

"No problem, simple and easy. Next is regarding your reward for this mission, yo-ho-ho, this is truly a hefty reward!"

After the guide finished speaking, amidst countless floating clocks and doors, a full-length mirror abruptly appeared in front of Wen Xishu.

In fact, since crossing over, Wen Xishu hadn't really looked in a mirror. Until this moment, he looked at himself in the mirror...

Hmm, not bad, handsome enough; calling himself the "Wu Yanzu of the Bunker" wasn't too much of a stretch.

However, his hair was truly a bit long; after returning to the bunker, he would have to find a barbershop to get a haircut.

Naturally, this was not just a mirror for grooming; besides his own appearance, the mirror also displayed some other things.

【Codename: Wen Xishu.】

【Slaughter Tower Level: 1. Slaughter Value Limit: 100.】

【Strange Tower Level: 6. Anti-Magic Value: 12 points.】

【Desire Tower Level: 6. Luck Value: 12 points.】

【Three Towers Item Slots: Four slots.】

【Sequence Slot Quantity: 1.】

Because he had never entered the Slaughter Tower, Wen Xishu was still a newcomer there, with a level of one.

As for Slaughter Value, Luck Value, and Anti-Magic Value, they appeared to be the different core attributes of the three towers.

Wen Xishu hadn't expected that he was only invited to enter the Desire Tower, yet he had actually achieved such a high level in it.

"Your growth is terrifying. Honestly, this is the first time a newcomer has been able to reach Level 6 directly during their first exploration of the Strange Tower," the guide said with a sinister laugh.

"And the completion rate... is extremely high."

Wen Xishu became interested:

"Did I achieve a Level 4 completion rate?"

The guide shook its head and said:

"Level 4? Of course it couldn't be Level 4."

After a brief pause, it continued:

"A Level 4 completion rate is indeed great, but it cannot completely change the fate of the mission targets. It cannot let them escape from their original shackles of slaughter."

"But you are different. You caused an impact in the Strange Tower, the Desire Tower, and the Slaughter Tower. Most importantly, you triggered a regional restart."

"This means that in the Slaughter Tower and the Strange Tower, the fate of the regional targets has been completely broken. They are now free. They have been liberated from the shackles of the strange and the shackles of slaughter."

Wen Xishu was a bit puzzled; he hadn't gone to the Slaughter Tower, so how had he caused an impact on its world?

"So what level of completion did I actually achieve?"

The guide was so excited that its other two heads also opened their eyes, and all three heads spoke together:

"Tower Climber, this is not an easy thing to do."

"No, this is an achievement that can be called excellent!"

"Even if newcomers challenge this area in the future, any actions they take will be unable to overwrite the changes you made. And the rating coefficient will also be significantly reduced."

"Because you achieved a Level 6 completion rate."

Level 6 completion rate.

Wen Xishu was slightly stunned.

Although a Level 7 completion rate existed, it only appeared in certain specific levels.

For the Jack's Strange Building area on the twenty-first floor of the Strange Tower, Level 6 was the highest completion rate.

And judging by the guide's words, he was the first to achieve a Level 6 rating in that area.

Even if future Tower Climbers replicated his operations, their ratings would not reach Level 6 because the coefficient would be lower.

Naturally, they would be unable to change the trajectories of Jack and Jennifer.

This actually surprised Wen Xishu; it was as if he had anchored a story that was constantly changing.

"Well done. You will receive an exceptionally generous supply reward."

"Many people will rely on your supplies to survive. Of course, not just supplies, but also items and facilities."

Wen Xishu had a strong heart, and he suppressed his inner excitement:

"As far as I know, the supplies obtainable with a Level 6 completion rate are enough to keep everyone on a certain level of the bunker alive for a period of time?"

The guide nodded.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of what Liu Jinsen had said: the lower residential level, which was the most densely populated level of the entire bunker, was suffering from an epidemic.

He asked:

"Can I choose to change supplies like survival rations and water into medicine?"

The guide's three heads all stared at Wen Xishu:

"Regrettably, you cannot do that. Medicine, food, and daily necessities are distributed randomly."

"And medicine is the rarest. The probability of obtaining medicine from settlement rewards is also the lowest."

That was reasonable.

Since the epidemic in the lower levels had yet to be resolved, the difficulty of obtaining medicine must be much greater than obtaining food.

Wen Xishu wasn't discouraged, and he continued to listen.

"However, your situation this time is very special. As a Level 6 completion, you can receive an additional top-tier facility."

"As the facility is put into the bunker's functional level, you can choose to consume a portion of your supplies to replace them with the facility's consumable items," the guide said with a smile.

Wen Xishu understood this:

"So the type of facility is chosen by me?"

The guide replied:

"Yes, but there is a maximum limit on the number of facilities. If you choose this facility this time, you might have to choose other facilities next time."

"Of course, most of the Level 6 completion facilities are currently empty."

Wen Xishu remembered that Bai Yang had said the essence of exploring the three towers was to move the three towers...

Now he truly understood that sentence.

If he explored the three towers enough times and achieved the Level 6 reward enough times...

The bunker would be like a doomsday shelter that he could DIY himself.

"If I choose this facility... will the facility also be labeled 'Owned by Wen Xishu'?"

The guide shrugged, its three heads swaying together:

"That's right. Everyone who enters this facility will know that this facility was brought by you, or rather, brought by a Tower Climber codenamed Wen Xishu."

"But I must remind you, 'owned by you' does not mean it can only be used by you. As far as I know~ humans in the bunker have their own power structures."

There was no need to spell it out. Wen Xishu understood.

If he brought back a facility, even if it was displayed as his property, it would very likely be requisitioned by the Bunker Anquan Bureau or the Bunker Administrative Bureau.

If he was lucky, these agencies would grant him some bunker currency and buy it off him forcibly.

If he was unlucky, they might just take his reward for free and then make him disappear.

Therefore, he must accumulate fame.

Although he couldn't assume the Bunker Anquan Bureau and the Administrative Bureau were his enemies—

The atrocities of the Wen family and the malice of Wen Zhaohua were things Wen Xishu needed to resolve right now.

"According to the description of a friend of mine, Level 6 completion facilities are facilities capable of bringing about changes sufficient to trigger a revolution for human bunker civilization."

"I want to know, does that include hospitals?"

Although a foot bath shop would be nice, in order to survive, he could only compromise and choose a hospital first.

The guide nodded:

"Naturally, among Level 6 facilities, there are indeed hospitals. You can understand them as hospitals that exceed current human technology. The maximum number of Level 6 hospitals is two."

"Currently, among the Level 6 buildings humans already possess in the bunker, there is no hospital. You can choose a hospital."

"Correspondingly, if you are willing to consume fifty percent of your supplies, then the hospital will possess a certain amount of initial medicine and medical resources."

Wen Xishu frowned:

"Judging from your previous description, there is more than one Level 6 building in the bunker currently."

"And to achieve a Level 6 completion, one must cause huge changes in all three towers and break their shackles?"

"Are there many people in the bunker who have achieved this kind of accomplishment?"

The guide shook its head:

"Of course there aren't many, but there are indeed some Level 6 facilities. You’ve misunderstood one point. A Level 6 completion rate does not require three towers to trigger a massive transformation, or rather, it does not require breaking the shackles of slaughter or the shackles of the uncanny."

"Even without breaking the shackles, it is possible to achieve Level 6, but breaking the shackles will inevitably start at Level 6."

Wen Xishu understood.

The Guide meant that what he had achieved was actually more difficult than what a Level 6 completion rate originally required.

Perhaps due to tier limitations or other reasons, there was still a certain gap to Level 7, but it had already exceeded the requirements for Level 6.

At the same time, even if one only explored a single tower, it was likely possible to achieve Level 6.

The Guide seemed to know what Wen Xishu was thinking and added:

"Moreover, there are some things that one person cannot accomplish, but that doesn't mean a group of people cannot; in human history, there have also been golden ages."

"But these matters do not fall within the scope of what we Guides answer. You can go to the Bunker to learn about them yourself."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Do Level 7 facilities exist?"

The Guide said:

"They do, and as I said before, once humans unite, they are very terrifying, especially since there are a few entities in the Bunker that can be called horrific."

"Among the currently known Level 7 facilities in the Bunker, the most famous is undoubtedly the Three Towers Academy."

"With the Three Towers Academy, the progress of exploring the three towers has also increased significantly. Among them, there is no shortage of newcomers with exceptional talent."

"Your first exploration was very successful, but they are equally terrifying. Don't get too cocky."

Wen Xishu had an idea of the situation.

It seemed that humanity's research into the three towers was much deeper than he had imagined.

People's stereotypes about a thing are often quite superficial, just as he had thought the Desire Tower was a tower of lust and the Slaughter Tower was a tower for fighting.

Only after truly coming into contact with them did he discover that using force to subdue others was actually very low-level. But there were too many people who did so.

And among the minority, there must be those with deep thoughts and understanding of the three towers.

Perhaps no one was like him, able to influence all three towers simultaneously.

But humanity as a whole, while exploring the three towers, had also triggered some special rewards during the process.

And even setting aside the collective, there existed many powerful individuals.

Additionally, Wen Xishu had not expected the Three Towers Academy to be a Level 7 facility.

The Three Towers Academy included the Slaughter Tower Academy and the Desire Tower Academy; it appeared this was no ordinary school.

The academy might possess certain special functions.

However, the Guide did not reveal the details of this information; he would have to wait until he returned to the Bunker to find out.

Wen Xishu became increasingly curious about this world.

"I choose the hospital."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure."

"As you wish, but you still need to make some final arrangements."

Wen Xishu quickly understood the meaning of these words.

In the mirror before him, what was reflected was no longer his own appearance, but a three-dimensional structural map of the Bunker.

The current Bunker had a total of sixteen levels.

There were eight functional levels and eight residential levels. Functional levels were even-numbered, and residential levels were odd-numbered.

The more authority, status, position, and wealth people had, the higher the level they lived on.

Human society in the Bunker presented an extremely straightforward pyramid structure.

Many Level 5 and Level 4 facilities possessed a certain degree of entertainment value, but these buildings were all arranged on the higher functional levels.

The functional levels accessible to the people at the bottom were all Level 1 to Level 3 facilities. These facilities often only had the most basic functions.

This also led to a huge gap between their medical resources, living resources, and those of the higher levels.

However, the Bunker allowed for level advancement, and the method was very simple—explore the three towers.

Proving oneself in the three towers, in Wen Xishu's view, was very fair.

Although he was a transmigrator, Wen Xishu did not place himself in a god-like position.

Many times, he could even understand the rulers of the Bunker.

But this time, he still chose to place this Level 6 facility—the hospital—on the second level, the functional level serving the people at the bottom.

After finishing all this, the Guide said:

"I have already started to look forward to how people will view you after you return to the Bunker."

"Your situation seems not very good, but from now on, there will surely be great changes."

"After all, every Level 6 facility will directly change the lives of the humans in the Bunker."

The black head smiled as always, sinisterly.

However, Wen Xishu was not afraid of this kind of smile; he was also looking forward to what would happen after returning to the Bunker.

The Guide continued:

"Finally, your individual reward, something no one can take away, a gift from the Uncanny Jack."

"This is an extraordinary treasure."

There is another update at noon.
