Chapter 24

Liu Liu Jinsen was still trying hard to run around.

It's just that the Three Towers Academy was currently in a state of lockdown; he couldn't get into the Three Towers Academy, so naturally, he couldn't contact Albert Napolitano.

This human legend was almost always busy with his own affairs, and rarely could anyone find him.

Generally, when he appeared, it was because there was something going on, or he was missing something, and he would appear directly in the upper levels or at the home of some big shot.

Although finding Albert Napolitano could indeed help Wen Wen Xishu get rid of the harassment from the First Bureau of the Security Bureau.

But the problem is—how to find him?

In these few hours, Liu Liu Jinsen first went to the academy, but couldn't get in.

So he thought about going to see the Xun family, the nobles of the bunker who could be described as full of heroes.

Finding Xun Hui, the proud student of Napolitano, might be able to contact Napolitano.

Liu Liu Jinsen failed to see Xun Hui, but with the help of the Xun family, he did manage to get on a call with Xun Hui.

On the phone, Liu Liu Jinsen simply and clearly recounted everything.

Xun Hui just said one sentence, "You don't need to worry about this matter," and then hung up the phone.

Liu Liu Jinsen, of course, couldn't just not worry.

Although Xun Hui was the number one on the Slaughter Tower ladder, the other party hadn't given any other information besides "you don't need to worry."

He also didn't know if Xun Hui was actually willing to help.

The Second Bureau had ulterior motives in helping Wen Wen Xishu, but Liu Liu Jinsen's purpose was very pure; he just hoped that people who contributed to the bunker—could survive.

At least in his view, Wen Wen Xishu's crimes were not enough to warrant death, and killing someone after they had performed meritorious service was truly a desecration of the bunker's laws.

So Liu Liu Jinsen was still running around, heading toward the Wen family residence.

Three Towers Academy.

In a park at the Tower of Desire Academy, an old man and a young man were playing chess.

There was no one watching around them.

Those who could enter the Tower of Desire Academy were a minority with excellent innate conditions. Most had solid family backgrounds.

But even in this academy where nobles walked everywhere and the wealthy were as common as dogs, no one dared to disturb these two playing chess.

The academy had issued a notice in the afternoon that the park area should not be approached recently.

"Your chess skills have improved, Jing."

"Teacher is too kind. A few days ago, I encountered a very abstract chess player in the Tower of Desire. He was a person of peerless talent, but unfortunately, he played against an AI that surpassed human computing power too early, and his Dao heart shattered. I learned from him, thinking it was also so I could play with you, Teacher, for a longer time."

"You, you just like the knowledge in the Three Towers. If you learn any longer, I won't be your match, hahahaha..."

The old man laughed very heroically. He was already ninety-one years old, but looked no more than fifty. His white hair didn't make him look old because his physique, complexion, and muscles didn't look like those of someone over sixty.

Playing chess with him was the pride of the entire bunker, the Prince Charming in the hearts of countless women in the Government Affairs Bureau—

Wen Wen Renjing, currently the number one person in the Tower of Desire.

It could also be said that he was the bunker's heartthrob.

His family background and his own aptitude were both impeccable.

But Wen Wen Renjing was also very respectful toward the old man, from the bottom of his heart.

Because the old man was one of the legends currently alive in the bunker, Albert Napolitano.

The principal of the Three Towers Academy.

"But you didn't come to see me today just for this, right? You and Xun Hui are secretly competing. He hasn't slacked off; where would you find the leisure to play chess with me?"

Wen Wen Renjing smiled:

"Teacher, I won't hide it from you. Today, a Level 6 building appeared on the second floor of the bunker."

Albert was not surprised, and Wen Wen Renjing was not surprised by the other party's lack of surprise.

"Good stuff. Our school is missing a school infirmary; actually, I quite want to move that building into the school."

"But the people down there are too miserable. A Security Bureau and a Government Affairs Bureau are already beastly enough; let's not be too beastly. You work hard, and when you can, get a few more Level 6 buildings for the school."

He said it very casually, as if Level 6 buildings were something very easy.

Of course, even for this legend himself, bringing back a Level 6 building required some luck.

But they could indeed do it.

If they said such things, no one would doubt it.

Wen Wen Renjing suddenly asked:

"Do you think he is relying on his own ability?"

Albert smiled; it was rare for this child to lose his composure. It seemed he still couldn't let go of certain things in his heart.

The old principal said:

"I read a book where the protagonist likes to emphasize, 'I am so powerful today because of my own efforts,' and then... every time he encounters danger, he shouts, 'System, add points.'"

"Hey, don't say, the stories written by these bunker writers are quite engaging."

"Many people say, what kind of skill is relying on a cheat? But the cheat chose him, and he also made reasonable use of the cheat; why doesn't that count?"

"So people sometimes don't understand one thing."

"The same thing, others have it and you don't; you often think, 'It's just because I don't have it. If I had it, I could do it too.'"

"But if it were really placed on you, you might not necessarily survive."

Wen Wen Renjing nodded thoughtfully.

Albert asked:

"Why, even a genius like you actually thinks this result is too sensational for a first exploration of the Mysterious Tower?"

Wen Wen Renjing shook his head:

"It's just a coincidence. In the past, I always treated Zhaohua..."

He paused slightly:

"Treated Wen Zhaohua as a good friend. He suddenly made strange moves, the entire Wen family also made strange moves, and then... his younger brother, who had been insane for many years, was no longer insane."

"He even became a genius. This is too coincidental."

In addressing a certain person, Wen Wen Renjing added an extra character to create some distance and also to state his position.

People certainly have positions, and must have positions.

It's just that deep down, Wen Wen Renjing would still occasionally miss the scene when the three of them dominated the Three Towers together and became a legend in the bunker.

Albert said:

"Indeed a coincidence. Since you have doubts, and I also have doubts, then it's simple; I will go see him myself."

Wen Wen Renjing said:

"Do you hope he enters the Tower of Desire Academy?"

Albert shook his head:

"Not decided yet; I have to wait until I see this child."

Immediately, Albert added:

"You should still put your mind on breaking through to higher levels now. Even if this child is truly a genius, or a 'successor,' he still has a very, very long way to go to catch up to your realm."

Wen Wen Renjing knew what this meant.

In any case, the underlying mechanism of the Three Towers is there. Magic resistance, luck, slaughter value—if these things don't improve, even if the first tower ascent performance is stunning, it doesn't prove anything.

Wen Wen Xishu's journey has only taken the first step.

Wen Wen Renjing said:

"Hmm, I also recently participated in a... chain mission that I feel is quite tricky. There are many Corruptors, and it's even very likely that the mission target themselves has become a Corruptor."

"I will probably disappear for a while; I'll leave the investigation of Wen Zhaohua's matter to you, Teacher."

Albert nodded and waved his hand:

"Then let's seal the board; we'll play chess next time. I also have to go see that child. It's not good if it's too late."

Wen Wen Renjing stood up and bowed to Albert:

"Thank you, Teacher. My position dictates that I cannot speak for Wen Zhaohua. If it were only the Tower of Desire... forget it, the crimes he committed are too heinous. I have no intention of speaking for him."

"No matter how good our friendship was before... I can distinguish right from wrong."

"I am not favoring his younger brother, but I think... at least there are still doubts about this matter. Even if he is to be killed, the facts must be established before killing him."

"And his younger brother has indeed changed the fates of many people, which also includes the fates of some Three Towers Academy students. If this epidemic can be extinguished..."

Albert laughed heroically:

"Alright, go do your work; leave this matter to me."

"Just right, I also want to go and inspect whether the Security Bureau is actually secure."
