A few days ago, I encountered a very abstract chess player in the Desire Tower. He was a person of peerless talent, but unfortunately, he played against an AI that exceeded human computing power too early, and his Dao heart shattered. I learned a thing or two from him, thinking it would allow me to play with you for a longer time, Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you just love that knowledge in the Three Towers. If you study any longer, I won't be your match anymore, hahahaha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man laughed heartily. He was already ninety-one years old, but he looked no more than fifty. His white hair did not make him look old, because his physique, complexion, and muscles did not look like those of someone over sixty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one playing chess with him was the pride of the entire bunker, the Prince Charming in the hearts of countless women in the Administrative Bureau—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing, the current number one of the Desire Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could also say he was the heartthrob of the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family background and his own aptitude were both impeccable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Renjing was also very respectful toward the old man, from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the old man was one of the living legends of the bunker, Albert Napolitano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headmaster of the Three Towers Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you didn't come to see me today for this, did you? You and Xun Hui are secretly competing; he hasn't slacked off, so how do you have the leisure to play chess with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I won't hide it from you. Today, a Level 6 building appeared on the second level of the bunker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert was not surprised, and Wen Renjing was not surprised by the other's lack of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good stuff. Our school is missing a school infirmary; actually, I really want to move that building into the school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the people down there are having a hard enough time. The Security Bureau and the Administrative Bureau are already beasts enough, so let's not be too beastly. You work hard, and when you can, get a few more Level 6 buildings for the school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it very casually, as if a Level 6 building were something very easy to come by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even for this legend himself, bringing back a Level 6 building still required a bit of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they could indeed do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were the ones saying such things, no one would doubt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think he is relying on his own ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert smiled. It was rare for this child to be unable to keep his composure. It seemed he still couldn't let go of certain things in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old headmaster said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I read a book where the protagonist loves to emphasize one sentence: 'I am so powerful today because of my own hard work,' and then... every time he encounters danger, he shouts, 'System, add points.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't say, the stories written by these bunker writers are quite engaging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many people say, what kind of skill is it to rely on a cheat? But the cheat chose him, and he made reasonable use of the cheat, so why doesn't it count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So people sometimes don't understand one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if it were really placed on you, you might not necessarily survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, even a genius like you actually thinks this result from the first exploration of the Strange Tower is too sensational?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just a coincidence. Once, I always treated Zhaohua...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I treated Wen Zhaohua as a good friend. He suddenly made bizarre moves, the entire Wen family also made bizarre moves, and then... his brother, who had been insane for many years, was no longer insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He even became a genius. This is too coincidental.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the way he addressed a certain person, Wen Renjing added an extra character to create some distance and to state his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People certainly have positions, and they must have positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that deep down, Wen Renjing would still occasionally miss the days when the three of them dominated the Three Towers together and became a legend in the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is indeed a coincidence. Since you have doubts, and I have doubts, then it's simple: I will go see him myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you hope he enters the Desire Tower Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not decided yet. I have to wait until I see the child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Albert added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should focus 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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing understood the meaning of these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, the underlying mechanism of the Three Towers is there. If Anti-Magic Value, Luck Value, and Slaughter Value are not improved, even if the performance in the first tower climb is stunning, it doesn't prove anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu’s journey has only taken its first step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I recently participated in a... chain mission that I feel is quite tricky. There are many Corruptors, and it is even very likely that the mission target themselves has fallen into becoming a Corruptor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will probably disappear for a while. I will leave the investigation of Wen Zhaohua to you, Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert nodded and waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Renjing stood up and bowed to Albert:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Teacher. My position dictates that I cannot speak for Wen Zhaohua. If it were only the Desire Tower... forget it, the crimes he committed are too heinous. I have no intention of speaking for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how good our friendship was before... I can distinguish right from wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not favoring his brother either, but I think... at least there are still doubts about this matter. Even if he is to be killed, it must be done after the facts are established.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, his brother has indeed changed the fate of many people, which includes the fate of some Three Towers Academy students. If this epidemic can be extinguished...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert laughed heartily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go do your work. Just leave this matter to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It just so happens that I also want to go and inspect whether the Security Bureau is actually secure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1591,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d25aa67f20237b24492f1231a115d2b875a57a0366c721b606b3de1272e449f1","the-three-towers-game-chapter-25","the-three-towers-game-chapter-23",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
