Chapter 38
It was slightly different from the interface last time.
This time, Wen Xishu did not receive a message to register an account. What surprised him slightly was that the maximum level he could head to was still the seventh level.
This was actually a good thing.
Although he had risen to level six and his Magic Resistance had also increased, if the level he headed to increased accordingly, then relatively speaking, it would be equivalent to no improvement at all.
Challenging levels above one's own is certainly cool, but no one has the confidence to accurately break the situation every single time in the world of the Weird.
Wen Xishu decisively chose to roll the Madness Dice.
The result of this roll was, on one hand, two extremes compared to last time, and on the other hand, it had many similarities.
The points: six, six, six.
When all three dice—black, white, and red—showed six, Wen Xishu thought he had seen wrong.
"How is it a triple again? If this is 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 wonder if this was a coincidence, or if these dice were prone to rolling triples.
However, the number of options for three sixes was far higher than last time. This time, Wen Xishu did not complain about Wen Zhaohua being a master at scamming his younger brother.
Because the effects of this roll were indeed quite practical, and some could even be called extremely perverted.
【Please choose one from the following effects.】
【1: Three Highs. (Can be triggered when the points of the three dice are the same. Effect: Tower climbing level x3)】
【2: Power of Three Phases. (Can be triggered when the points of 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 point is greater than three. Effect: The trigger probability of all probabilistic events increases, regardless of whether it is bad luck or good luck.)】
【4: Maximum Value. (Triggered when the total points are greater than 16. Effect: All unstable attributes in the Three Towers, all attributes with upper and lower limits, will have their lower limits erased and be presented at their maximum values.)】
【5: Unobstructed Passage. (Triggered when at least one six appears among the three dice; if there are multiple sixes, the number of traversals increases. Effect: You will directly obtain an invitation letter at the start.)】
【6: No Unique Occurrence. (Triggered when all three dice are even numbers. Effect: When the team size is 2, after your 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: Options +1. And this option does not consume an option count.)】
Seeing this string of options, Wen Xishu couldn't help but marvel at how heaven-defying these dice were.
Seven options, one of which did not consume a count and added an extra option.
This meant that this time, it was a choice of two out of six.
And all the options this time were different from the first time; 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 to the rest area, if he did not make a choice...
Then Wen Xishu would be considered to have given up the choice, and one would be chosen randomly.
Based on the fact that he was almost 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 Desire Tower take effect."
"Although I don't know what the 6 points of Luck in the Desire Tower are 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 a critical hit on every strike? The problem is I have no attributes at all. Even if I land critical hits, given the huge gap in Magic Resistance... I'm afraid I'd just be scratching the creatures of the Weird Tower."
"Unobstructed Passage, this is truly '6'. It seems to be a rule of Ludo; if you have a 6, you can pass. Having an invitation letter at the start is simply fantastic."
"No Unique Occurrence... not really good. If I had a teammate with tacit understanding who would absolutely never 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 Unique Occurrence," but ultimately, he didn't think there would be a teammate who performed better than himself, who possessed an invitation letter.
After some thought, Wen Xishu quickly made his choice.
Power of Three Phases, Unobstructed Passage.
With the Three Phases, he could verify his inner guesses, and with the invitation letter brought by the passage, he could unlock hidden plots.
Wen Xishu could certainly find an invitation letter through his own exploration, but based on his last experience, he discovered that things like invitation letters really depend on luck.
After all, he couldn't get on the same wavelength as every Weird Tower creature.
Don't think that just because you've conquered the twenty-first floor, you can look down on the preceding levels; the Weird Tower is unreasonable.
Although Wen Xishu is crazy, he is not stupid.
After making these choices, his figure disappeared, and under the effect 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 level.
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 that side.
Those on the edges were all rejoicing, having drawn the simplest one amidst misfortune.
Those in the center were all cursing and sighing; exploring the Weird Tower was already unfortunate, and drawing the maximum value was the most unfortunate of misfortunes.
Wen Xishu was not at all surprised by the location where he descended.
After all, the tower-climbing level fluctuated between one and seven. If there were enough people exploring the Weird Tower, there would always be a few with the worst luck who would end up on the seventh level.
Quite different from the rest area of the Desire Tower before, in the rest area of the Weird Tower, absolutely no one was shouting to sell information.
Because the Weird Tower had no information.
Actually, at this time, if someone fabricated some information about levels one through seven, they might be able to trade 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 others.
Most of the people here had rough skin and fierce eyes.
The men looked exactly like the outlaws who lick blood from the edge of a blade in Wen Xishu's eyes, and the women also radiated a ferocity that said, "Stay away, if you dare to come close, I'll fight you to the death."
In stark contrast to the rest area of the Desire Tower was their attire.
Everyone in the Desire Tower was almost all delicate and pampered, dressed in fine silks and satins. That Ji Boda and Liu Ruyan, in particular, looked like they had considerable family wealth at a glance.
Whereas in the rest area of the Weird Tower, everyone was thinly clad, as if they had arrived in the slums of India in a past 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 higher levels among them. 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 level, this mission...
The mortality rate was very high.
