Chapter 38
There were subtle differences from the previous interface.
This time, Wen Xishu did not receive a message to register an account. What slightly surprised him was that the maximum level he could reach was still the seventh floor.
This was actually a good thing.
Although he had reached level six and his magic resistance had increased, if the level he went to also increased accordingly, then relatively speaking, it would be equivalent to no improvement.
While fighting monsters above one's level is certainly cool, no one has the confidence to accurately solve the situation every time in the strange world.
Wen Xishu decisively chose to roll the Crazy Dice.
The result of this roll was, on one hand, two extremes compared to the last time, and on the other hand, there were many similarities.
The numbers: six, six, six.
When all three black, white, and red dice showed six, Wen Xishu thought he had seen it wrong.
"How is it a triple again? If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence."
Last time he rolled three ones; this time he rolled three sixes.
This made Wen Xishu suspect: is this a coincidence, or are these dice prone to rolling triples?
However, the number of options for three sixes was much higher than last time. Wen Xishu didn't complain about Wen Zhaohua being a good brother who pits his sibling this time.
Because the effects of this roll were indeed quite practical, and one could even say very perverted.
【Please choose one from the following effects.】
【1: Three Highs. (Can be triggered when the numbers on the three dice are the same. Effect: Tower ascension level x3)】
【2: Power of Three Phases. (Can be triggered when the numbers on the three dice are the same. Effect: Can simultaneously use the rules and abilities of three tower systems)】
【3: Large Number Tendency. (Triggered when each die number is greater than three. Effect: The trigger probability of all probabilistic events increases, regardless of bad luck or good luck.)】
【4: Maximum Value. (Triggered when the total number is greater than 16. Effect: All your unstable attributes in the Three Towers, all attributes that have upper and lower limits, will have their lower limits erased and be presented with the maximum value)】
【5: Unobstructed Passage. (Triggered when at least one six appears among the three dice; if there are multiple sixes, the number of transits increases. Effect: You will directly obtain an invitation at the start.)】
【6: No Coincidence Without Pair. (Triggered when all three dice are even numbers. Effect: When the team size is 2, after the teammate obtains a reward, you can also obtain an extra reward identical to theirs. Note: If the other party obtains a unique sequence, the sequence will be stripped by you.)】
【7: Good Things Come in Pairs. (Triggered when at least two of the three dice are even numbers. Effect: Option +1. And this option does not consume an option count)】
Seeing this series of options, Wen Xishu couldn't help but marvel at how heaven-defying these dice were.
Seven options, one of which didn't consume a count and added an extra option.
This meant that this time, it was a choice of two out of six.
And this time, all the options were different from the first time, and words like "due to no current school, level too low to trigger" no longer appeared.
"This thing is truly terrifying; where on earth did Wen Zhaohua get it?"
This question naturally could not be answered.
Wen Xishu's attention returned to the choice itself. He was about to head to the rest area, and before being forcibly teleported, if he didn't make a choice...
Then Wen Xishu would be considered to have given up the choice, and it would be chosen randomly.
Based on almost being killed at the start last time, Wen Xishu decisively gave up option one.
Things like "Three Highs" that involve challenging levels above one's own should be left to his future self.
"The Power of Three Phases must be chosen, because only then can I make the attributes of the Slaughter Tower and the Tower of Desire play a role."
"Although I don't know what the 6 points of luck in the Tower of Desire are useful for, this thing must be a core attribute."
"Large Number Tendency... it looks like a heaven-defying cheating function, but unfortunately, it includes bad luck; I have never had confidence in my own luck."
"Maximum Value. If my attributes go up, is this thing equivalent to critical hits on every strike? The problem is I have no attributes at all; even if I had critical hits, under the huge gap in magic resistance... I'm afraid I'd just be scraping the skin of the Mysterious Tower's creatures."
"Unobstructed Passage, this is indeed very '6'; it seems to be the rule of Ludo, where you can pass if you have a 6. Having an invitation at the start is simply fantastic."
"No Coincidence Without Pair... not quite. If I had a teammate with whom I had tacit understanding and who would absolutely not betray me, this option would be god-tier. But unfortunately, I don't have such friends in the bunker."
Actually, Wen Xishu saw the terror of "No Coincidence Without Pair," but in the end, he didn't think there would be a teammate who performed better than himself with an invitation.
After some thinking, Wen Xishu quickly made his choice.
Power of Three Phases, Unobstructed Passage.
With the Three Phases, he could verify his inner guesses; with the invitation brought by the passage, he could unlock hidden plots.
Wen Xishu could certainly find an invitation through his own exploration, but based on his last experience, he found that things like invitations really depend on luck.
After all, he couldn't get on the same wavelength with every Mysterious Tower creature.
Don't think that just because you conquered the twenty-first floor, you can look down on the preceding levels; the Mysterious Tower is unreasonable.
Wen Xishu is crazy, but not stupid.
After making these choices, his figure disappeared, and under the influence of the login device, he entered the rest area.
The rest areas of the three tower systems had no differences in appearance or structure.
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he found himself in an area near the center.
It was just different from last time; last time he was on the twenty-first floor, at the absolute center, the Tianyuan position.
But this time, Wen Xishu was not at the Tianyuan position.
He was exploring the sixth floor.
Dozens of meters away from the center, various display stands blocked the figure of the person at the very center, making it impossible to see clearly. But he could hear the cursing from over there.
People on the edge were all rejoicing, having drawn the simplest one amidst misfortune.
People in the center were all cursing and sighing; exploring the Mysterious Tower was already a misfortune, and drawing the maximum value was the misfortune among misfortunes.
Wen Xishu was not surprised at all by the location where he descended.
After all, the tower ascension level fluctuates between one and seven floors; if there are enough people exploring the Mysterious Tower, then there will always be a few unlucky ones who get the seventh floor.
Unlike the rest area of the Tower of Desire, in the rest area of the Mysterious Tower, absolutely no one was shouting to sell information.
Because there is no information about the Mysterious Tower.
Actually, at this time, if someone fabricated some information about the first to seventh floors, they might be able to exchange it for quite a few things.
But no one did so.
It wasn't that these people were too moral, but that these people... were all very clear about the danger of the other party.
Most of the people here had rough skin and fierce eyes.
The men looked very much like the outlaws licking blood from the edge of a blade in Wen Xishu's eyes, and the women also each exuded a ferocity of "don't come near me, if you dare to come near, I'll fight you to the death."
In stark contrast to the rest area of the Tower of Desire was their attire.
Everyone in the Tower of Desire was almost all delicate and pampered, wearing fine clothes. That Ji Boda and Liu Ruyan, at first glance, looked quite wealthy.
And in the rest area of the Mysterious Tower, everyone was thinly clad, as if they had arrived in the slums of India in his previous life.
When Wen Xishu arrived here... he immediately noticed one thing. Many gazes were fixed on him.
Wen Xishu knew that there must be "spies" from the upper levels here. But he didn't care; after all, he couldn't escape the fate of having to form a team.
However, Wen Xishu had a premonition that although the area he was exploring was the sixth floor, this mission...
had a very high mortality rate.
