Chapter 195: The first official Level 7 completion reward

The surrounding space began to disintegrate.

For Wen Renjing, he was about to return to the bunker in reality, becoming the first person to bring everyone the news that the Great Devouring had officially ended.

But Wen Xishu still had one process left.

Wen Xishu came from the Mysterious Tower, and he still had to head into the Mysterious Tower. Wen Xishu was also very clear that he hadn't made any progress or breakthroughs while in the Mysterious Tower.

Yet, the next moment, Wen Xishu discovered—simulation information began to emerge in his mind.

The world constructed by the crisscrossing white lines around him was actually not the Mysterious Tower, but the space where the Guide resided.

He saw countless doors and clocks.

"What's going on? How did I skip the process of returning to the Mysterious Tower?"

"It couldn't be that this floor of the Mysterious Tower has completely disappeared, could it?"

Wen Xishu soon got the answer. The complete information was as follows—

【Due to major changes in Hujiang District 19 and District 20 on the 60th floor of the Tower of Desire, the corresponding area on the 60th floor of the Mysterious Tower will be restarted.】

【Simulation starting.】

【Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki began to rely on each other for survival; many Qualified Ones appeared in Hujiang, striving to get the city, eroded by the arrival of the apocalypse, back on track.】

【But as the apocalypse descended, the greater evil deep within Hujiang still erupted with terrifying destructive power; Hujiang, where demons danced in chaos, soon welcomed many factions.】

【Under the favor of fate, Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki were taken in by the Demon-Cleansing Monk.】

【The super-factions hiding in Hujiang also set their sights on Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki, attempting to occupy them, but the Demon-Cleansing Monk and many Qualified Ones saved by the two formed the Demon-Retreat Alliance.】

【In the long learning period that followed, Morita Hitomi further developed his own power, and a brand-new Human Cave barrier appeared. Anyone who crossed the barrier and attempted to take Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki away would enter the Human Cave world.】

【Akiyama Yuki also developed his own power, creating a reverse Human Cave.】

【Mysterious Tower 60th Floor, Dual Human Cave mission officially opened.】

【However, this mission has two Predestined Ones; entering this mission will directly exempt you from the mission and obtain the corresponding highest reward.】

【Your favorability with Akiyama Yuki has reached 80.】

【Your favorability with Morita Hitomi has reached 80.】

【Akiyama Yuki and Morita Hitomi's favorability has reached 100.】

【Gemini favorability +15, your favorability with Gemini has reached the first stage 【Friendly】 level. Please head to the Guide to collect the invitation—Gemini's Invitation.】

【Virgo favorability +5.】

【Libra favorability +5.】

Upon reaching this point in the simulation, Wen Xishu immediately guessed...

The Predestined Ones were himself and Wen Renjing.

No wonder he skipped the Mysterious Tower process; no wonder he returned to the Guide here.

Wen Xishu had actually not seen this kind of process for the first time.

It was just that this time it was extremely efficient. Wen Xishu had already become a "Predestined One" many times.

Tang Rui, Phoenix Ding Dong, and this time, Akiyama Yuki and Morita Hitomi.

Because he had changed their fates in the Tower of Desire and was thanked by them, he was also an exemptor in their Land of Obsession within the Mysterious Tower.

The content of the new Human Cave dungeon also quickly emerged in Wen Xishu's mind.

Simply put, the story background was still in Hujiang.

Various demons and monsters attempted to break through the Demon-Retreat Alliance's defensive line to seize Morita Hitomi and Akiyama Yuki, using the power of these two children to do some kind of evil thing.

But the two children also developed new methods during this process.

The Human Cave and the reverse Human Cave barrier.

Crossing the barrier zone would lead into the Human Cave.

Inside the Human Cave, the target would gradually lose their self and experience a state of absolute happiness.

However, during this process, Morita Hitomi would collect information on the target; this information would make it convenient for Akiyama Yuki to use to create a reverse Human Cave.

That is, a suffering-type Human Cave.

Based on the content of the target in the happiness-type Human Cave, customize the suffering the target fears most.

Even if the target luckily found their self and a way to break through the Human Cave from the happiness-type Human Cave... there would still be suffering tailored for them waiting ahead.

Wen Xishu even felt... this difficulty might be even harder than the original version of the 60th floor of the Mysterious Tower.

But everything was also very reasonable.

Although the simulation text was very brief, the process was not short at all.

In the few years, Akiyama Yuki and Morita Hitomi had likely already grown up.

It seemed that unlike other Qualified Ones, Akiyama Yuki and Morita Hitomi had always maintained their human forms.

The two of them had indeed always followed the final instructions of Wen Xishu and Wen Renjing, not using the ultimate move released by combining their strength.

They had been accumulating suffering and misfortune all along.

They had been waiting for Wen Renjing and Wen Xishu to arrive in Hujiang again.

In fact, it was precisely this point that caused Wen Xishu to skip the Mysterious Tower process, because it did not conform to the time node when everyone agreed to truly meet again.

"Ba-la-la-la-la-la~" The peculiar laughter of the Black Mysterious Head interrupted Wen Xishu's focus.

"Look who this is, this is the hero who achieved Level 7 completion on the 60th floor~ Ba-la-la-la-la~"

It wasn't just the Black Mysterious Head; the Red Slaughter Head and the White Desire Head were also laughing wildly.

Clearly, this super-high completion rate was not just a carnival for one single tower system.

The Slaughter Tower, the Mysterious Tower, the Tower of Desire—especially the Tower of Desire—were the main event.

The White Desire Head said in a rather charming posture:

"It's a pity you didn't come to the Tower of Desire; you could have formed the Dual Walls of the Tower of Desire with the person I'm currently eyeing."

Wen Xishu didn't have the time to pay attention to them; he first checked his panel.

This time the panel growth was quite abundant, so Wen Xishu looked very carefully.

【Codename: Wen Xishu.】

【Slaughter Tower Level: 15. Slaughter Value Cap: 170.】

【Mysterious Tower Level: 36. Anti-Magic Value: 72 points.】

【Tower of Desire Level: 38. Luck Value: 78 points.】

【Sequence Slot Quantity: 5.】

【Three Towers Item Slot: 9.】

【Currently Owned Sequences:

Three Towers Sequence 35·Tower Power Absorption.

Strange Sequence 37·Mental Barrage. Strange Sequence 99·Personality Party. Strange Sequence 205·Nightmare Absolution.

Slaughter Sequence 99·Perfect Counter, Slaughter Sequence 199·Extreme Kick. Slaughter Sequence 205·Killing Intent Lockdown.

Desire Sequence 99·Stick to Convention, Desire Sequence 205·Repentance Ascension.】

【Currently Owned Runes: Undead Guidance (Mental Barrage), Dragon Hidden Power (Extreme Kick), Blood Mist Ascension (Extreme Kick), Mixed Feelings (Mental Barrage), Arnold's Energy Throttling (Mental Barrage). Suffering Settlement.】

【Current Items: Letter from Tang Rui, Forgot to Bring Keys, Gradient Indifference, Scorpio's Cheating Knife, Great Adventure Wine Glass, Pseudo-Fate Luo Pan, Best Friend Controller, Phoenix Gloves, True·Murder Soccer Ball, Ding Dong's Receipt Letter, Master Lingqing's Wooden Fish.】

Because the Black Coffin Blood had transformed from an object into sequence power, Wen Xishu's total item count had become 11.

Among them, Ding Dong's Receipt Letter didn't need to be carried; in other words, Wen Xishu's items were now 10. And his item slots had reached 9; after this Level 7 mission, Wen Xishu's item slots and sequence slots had both increased by one.

Now Wen Xishu could almost say he could carry all his items.

Of course, what made Wen Xishu feel pleasantly surprised was that he discovered a special rune.

Suffering Settlement.

This was a rune, but Wen Xishu discovered that the rune could currently only be loaded into one sequence.

Slaughter Sequence 99·Perfect Counter.

The effect of Suffering Settlement was simple and crude:

【When you trigger a defensive effect, regardless of whether it is blocked, force-unloaded, countered, or power borne head-on, it will accumulate 1 second of damage volume as counter-damage trigger.】

To put it more colloquially—in that second when the Perfect Counter sequence is activated, the damage taken can be rebounded to the opponent.

This rune could only be loaded into the defense-type Slaughter Sequence.

After having Suffering Settlement, Wen Xishu's Perfect Counter changed from a purely defensive skill to one that was both offensive and defensive.

He sighed again that the combination of runes and sequences would completely change the way the sequence looked initially.

The gains on the panel were undoubtedly huge; Wen Xishu's Tower of Desire and Mysterious Tower levels, as well as Luck Value and Anti-Magic Value, had all been greatly improved.

But everything was not over yet.

Because as soon as he came in, he heard the Guide's words, "Level 7 completion rate."

"My Level 7 completion rate shouldn't just be panel improvements and a rune, right?" Wen Xishu looked at the three-headed Guide.

The Guide's three heads nodded in unison.

"You really did an amazing thing this time. But what I need to tell you is—this time you didn't get any Level 7 facility rewards."

"Ba-la-la-la-la, are you disappointed?"

Wen Xishu didn't feel anything at all, just calmly said:

"Get to the point."

Seeing that he hadn't fooled Wen Xishu, the Black Mysterious Head felt a bit bored:

"Alright, alright, you guy with no sense of humor."

"To be precise, thanks to the efforts of many, you will welcome a Level 8 building."

Wen Xishu's heartbeat accelerated a bit.

He had thought that he might bring a Level 7 building to the bunker, or more than one...

But upon hearing there was no Level 7 building, he thought, could it be that he brought some kind of technology to the bunker?

As a result, he never expected that there would be a Level 8 building?

"Wait... does that mean there are missions higher than Level 7?"

The Guide shook its head:

"No, Level 7 missions are the highest missions, and Level 7 completion rate is the highest completion rate."

"Actually, the rewarded facilities~ are also at most Level 7."

Wen Xishu suddenly had an urge to hit someone.

It wasn't the first time the Guide had played tricks, but seeing Wen Xishu's murderous look, it immediately said:

"Ba-la-la-la-la, isn't this to distinguish it from other Level 7 buildings, so you can better feel~ how powerful this building is?"

Wen Xishu had little patience for the Guide; after all, the longer he dawdled here, the longer it would be until the next tower climb.

He said:

"Speak human."

The Black Guide said:

"Level 7 buildings represent buildings that possess some kind of strange power, or are shrouded by special rules."

"But there are also differences between rules and rules. That is to say, being Level 7, the gold content is different. Roughly, it's Level 7 shame, Level 7 average, Level 7 peak, True·Level 7?"

"And the facility you got this time is enough to change the gold content of the Three Towers Academy's Level 7 to an outrageous height."

"In fact, your Anti-Magic Value is also enough to unlock another part of the Three Towers Academy, right?"

"And the new building will make you very happy."

Wen Xishu was angry:

"So what exactly is this thing?"

"Level 7 facility—Three Towers Memoirs. Simply put, in this building, you can summon anyone you met in the Three Towers. And—it cannot be a god; of course, I'm talking about the twelve gods, not the few sub-gods later."

"You are the only one qualified to summon, because you will have ownership of this building."

"The people you summon can even summon the corresponding Land of Obsession and rules. That is, the scenes of the Mysterious Tower."

"But don't worry, anyone experiencing these scenes will only feel real pain, but will not die~ as long as they leave this facility, everything will recover, only retaining the memory."

Wen Xishu was stunned, immediately realizing the terror of this facility:

"You mean... I can summon those people I met in the bunker, in this building called Three Towers Memoirs? Is it simulated? Or real?"

The Three Towers Guide said:

"Of course it is—simulated. However, the building will automatically update to the latest version and will automatically fill in various data gaps."

Wen Xishu said:

"For example, Tang Rui, if I summon her inside..."

The Black Mysterious Head immediately said:

"That would be the latest version of her; favorability, skills, will all be updated to the latest version. Although it has nothing to do with reality~ everything is just a simulated body summoned out, but believe me—as long as you don't leave this facility, everything is just like the real thing."

"She will be exactly the same as the real Tang Rui in many data points."

Wen Xishu asked the most critical question:

"That is to say, I can summon them... even if they are simulated, they are simulated based on the real situation, and I can know what happened in the real Three Towers War through them?"

The Black Mysterious Head shook its head:

"Sorry, that's not possible. Still using Tang Rui as an example, the simulated Tang Rui will be very similar to the real Tang Rui, will be happy at your summoning, and grateful to meet you again. She will also obey your various orders."

"The panel attributes will be synchronized to the latest version of Tang Rui in the Three Towers War, but unfortunately~ the experiences will not."

"This building does not exist as an intelligence building."

"You know very well what its value is."

Training. Simulation.

In other words, the bosses he encountered could be summoned by him to train himself or train others.

Tang Rui, Jack, Jennifer, the An brothers, Master Lingqing, Ding Dong, the three police officers, Morita Hitomi, Akiyama Yuki...

No, it's not just these "favorability characters."

Even An Rongzai, Shoe Woman, Jiang Qing, Ghost Bride... these villainous characters can also be summoned.

The Three Towers Guide also added:

"Even those who died at your hands, you can summon them through the Memoirs. They will hate you to the bone, but they will also follow your orders."

"In the Memoirs, you can order them to do anything."

"You can even do electronic cricket fighting, see who is stronger, see whose abilities can be combined with whose, etc. ~"

"Not just confrontation, their Lands of Obsession can also be stitched together."

"For example~ in Shoe Woman's cellar, opening cans while breaking open a Human Cave."

"Very interesting, isn't it? You'd better place the Memoirs in the Three Towers Academy, you know what I mean, right?"

Wen Xishu really understood.

This building was indeed awesome; it could be said that compared to the academy section that could simulate low-level monsters, it was more than one grade stronger...

The Mysterious Tower Academy was about to open; with this thing, there was no need to worry about how to teach.

At that time, summon various bosses or various friends, then summon the corresponding obsession scenes...

Just let the students of the Mysterious Tower Academy go in and experience the pain.

Anyway, they won't die.

Wen Xishu could guess that the students of the Mysterious Tower Academy, in order to crack these scenes... would definitely go crazy.

Let the dungeons he had cleared appear in the Memoirs in the form of memories, provided for other students of the Mysterious Tower Academy to play. Or directly as assessment items.

Wen Xishu immediately became interested in this thing.

Although this building could not bring information about the Three Towers War, based on the skill changes of various old friends in the latest version... Wen Xishu could actually deduce some information.

It could be said that the more he came into contact with, through this facility, the more proficient and adapted he would become in the future Three Towers War.

He was very satisfied with the gains this time.

"I also got one thing, but it doesn't seem to be an item; before, you refused to tell me about the constellations."

"But now, I have obtained 'Gemini's Invitation,' shouldn't you also tell me what is going on with these guys?"

(Correcting an error: the sequence number for Mixed Feelings is 98—previously it was 99. This is indeed a bug, caused by my carelessness. Mainly because this thing wasn't planned from the beginning, and many were arranged only when they were close; fortunately, it didn't affect the plot, so I hereby declare it~)
