Chapter 48: Speedrun Plan

Wen Xishu became interested.

The two strongest in the bunker, Slaughter Tower's Xun Hui, Tower of Desire's Wen Renjing.

These two were the ceilings of their respective tower systems.

Of course, Albert was not the ceiling; he was heaven beyond heaven. It couldn't be ruled out that there was also heaven beyond heaven in the Tower of Desire system.

However, people recognized the Ladder Ranking. So in a sense, Xun Hui and Wen Renjing were the most popular in the bunker.

If he could make Wen Renjing owe him a favor... that wouldn't be bad.

Wen Xishu didn't like this bureau or that bureau in the bunker; if he could, he wouldn't mind killing to his heart's content with Zheng Zai.

But he was still too weak.

Everything had to be done in stages; at this stage, the only thing Wen Xishu wanted to do was survive, stand firmly in the bunker, and try to have some connection with all major forces.

As for the credit that was snatched away, the construction facilities that bore his signature...

Wen Xishu believed that everything he had lost would be returned twofold.

"Thank you two; I at least know a wrong direction. When it comes to charming people, I don't think I'm better than Wen Renjing, but at least... I can try other ideas."

Wen Xishu didn't intend to delay anymore.

After white-pilling a strategy, he turned and left immediately.

At this time, Ji Boda really wanted to see Wen Xishu's wrist.

Last time, he and Liu Ruyan noticed Wen Xishu's turning action.

But the two of them finally held back.

Mainly, Wen Xishu showed an extraordinary background, and plus, as teachers, the academy teachers were relatively polite to students.

As Wen Xishu's figure disappeared, Ji Boda said:

"I don't even have the mood to climb the tower now; I just want to fly to the principal's office to ask clearly, what is this kid's background?"

Liu Ruyan said:

"He didn't lie; there was no muscle excitement reaction from bragging, and after learning about Wen Renjing's regret, he was instead a bit excited; that was the excitement of a challenger."

Ji Boda said:

"Do you think it's possible... that he is that Wen Xishu?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned and shook her head, saying:

"It is rumored that Wen Xishu's supplies come from the Mysterious Tower."

But after saying this, she suddenly thought of the sneaky way that teenager activated the login device.

Her gaze looked at Ji Boda, and Ji Boda smiled:

"If this is true, it's a bit big; I really have to ask the principal. If I don't ask... I won't feel at ease."

"Let's go, wife, wish you success, and wish me success; I hope we can heal these poor people in the Tower of Desire early."

Liu Ruyan nodded, and the two simultaneously activated their login devices.

……

……

The world of the Tower of Desire is a world with love.

But these loves don't seem to come from the Tower of Desire itself, but from the bunker.

The Tower of Desire is like a sick world, and the bunker is the medicine. The Slaughter Tower and the Mysterious Tower are terminally ill, needing tracing to the source, and also needing strong medicine.

Wen Xishu had such a concept in his mind when stepping into the Tower of Desire. Frequent space conversion made his consciousness a bit blurry.

But compared to the first time, he had adapted a lot, and those thoughts in his mind were quickly cleared, because the scenery in his vision had become clear and visible.

Tower of Desire, sixth floor, Jiangcheng.

The differentiation of cities was actually becoming smaller and smaller, which also led to Wen Xishu not seeing which city Jiangcheng was at first. However, judging from the accent of the passersby, it seemed to be the Suzhou-Hangzhou area.

Wen Xishu liked the soft Wu dialect here, but didn't like the cuisine here. As usual, after arriving at the Tower of Desire, Wen Xishu received a prompt.

【Tang Rui's current happiness value: 0. Mission status: Incomplete.】

【Remaining time: 47 hours 59 minutes 30 seconds.】

Because he possessed twelve points of luck, Wen Xishu's appearance location this time was not far from the mission target.

Luck affects many things; every time you enter the Tower of Desire, there will be a reasonable temporary identity to explore.

Whether this identity has enemies, whether this identity is legal, how much wealth this identity possesses, the initial props of this identity, the initial location of this identity, the initial favorability with the target...

These things are all determined by luck.

Even the timing of the mission cut-in is determined by luck.

And people who enter through the invitation letter often have additional luck value bonuses.

For example, last time, Wen Xishu happened to come to a node where everything had just begun.

So in a sense, different luck values lead to different difficulties in entering the Tower of Desire; in common terms, the way to open it is different.

Wen Xishu's luck was not bad this time; with an initial luck value of twelve points and the invitation letter bonus, he appeared not far from the mission target.

This was a bar called "Empty Cup Cut." A pun on the "don't wait for idleness, white-headed boy" line.

This bar wasn't noisy; the bartender was mixing drinks, and a few people were sitting casually at the bar. The music not far away was also an extremely slow tune.

Wen Xishu was still thinking about whether to just ask one by one who was named Tang Rui; he shouldn't be too far from the target.

Constantly asking would inevitably narrow the range quickly.

But suddenly, he discovered that he seemed to be able to resonate with the target. This feeling was something the Wen Xishu of last time had never possessed.

Strange Sequence 37·Mental Barrage allowed Wen Xishu to possess a certain strange perception ability.

And the possessor of this ability, under the permission of the rules, would have some slight induction.

This induction was very weak, the direction was unclear, like a wisp of scent that was ethereal and hard to find, or like a sigh from a great distance.

Wen Xishu understood; it was the Power of Three Phases. The so-called permission of the rules was that he could use the power and props of the Mysterious Tower system in the Tower of Desire.

This was absolutely forbidden. But because of the Crazy Dice, the current Wen Xishu could use the power of the sequence.

No wonder when he met Zheng Zai before, his first reaction was that the problem with Zheng Zai was not an illness, but a sequence.

Now he had that feeling again; in this bar, there seemed to be someone who, like him, hid the aura of strange power.

Wen Xishu began to look for that person, and suddenly, his gaze met a girl of twenty-six or twenty-seven.

The girl looked at Wen Xishu, and Wen Xishu also looked at the girl.

There was some confusion in the girl's eyes, as if she had suddenly sensed something, but that feeling was too weak to grasp the details.

Wen Xishu walked directly toward the girl.

The girl had a head of fluffy short hair; she looked like a little punk.

Because her hair was dyed with that distinct pink and green interwoven color.

Her tattoos were very exaggerated, covering her entire arm.

She wore leather pants, but her upper body was unusually cool and exposed, revealing a flat abdomen.

She should have appeared in that kind of bar where people shook their heads frantically, bombarded by ear-piercing heavy metal music, not here.

She was smoking, and the confusion in her eyes gradually turned into a bit of blurriness, as if she had a bit of drunkenness.

"Tang Rui?" Wen Xishu asked directly.

"Yes, who are you?" Seeing Wen Xishu approach, Tang Rui didn't feel scared; instead, she raised her glass.

Perhaps it was the ruffian aura emanating from Wen Xishu that made her not feel repulsed.

Wen Xishu looked at the girl raising her glass and suddenly smiled.

It was no wonder that so many people were willing to choose to solve problems with handles in the lower levels.

In the lower levels, if the luck value is slightly higher, you will encounter an opening like Wen Xishu's.

Under this blurry light, the liquid shaking in the high-footed glass always easily stirs up thunder and fire. Not to mention, this girl's appearance was the kind that could move Wen Renjing.

Wen Xishu wasn't interested in this kind of approach; if he were to mess with women in the Tower of Desire's dungeon world... he would have a feeling that he was about to cuckold someone, and sooner or later he would be cuckolded by others.

Time was very precious; as a pure plot-party, Wen Xishu didn't want to waste time—

He wanted to figure out what Tang Rui had experienced, and also investigate clearly why the Mysterious·Tang Rui level was related to four different scenes.

Which four items were the contaminated items corresponding to the four scenes.

Why did this girl... still choose to commit suicide after Wen Renjing brought such beautiful love?

If he were to investigate slowly, forty-eight hours was completely insufficient.

So—Wen Xishu decided to speedrun.

Now he could already confirm that he could use the props and sequences of the Mysterious Tower.

Without hesitation, Wen Xishu took out the Truth Wine Glass.

"Dare to drink a few glasses with my wine glass? This wine glass has a very magical effect. Once you drink it, you will harvest happiness."

Tang Rui didn't hesitate, took the wine glass, and began to pour wine.

Wen Xishu was now convinced that this girl's world had really crumbled to almost nothing.

Although the Truth Wine Glass was beautifully made, using a stranger's glass to drink in this kind of place, and almost without hesitation pouring wine... was still too dangerous.

This was not like Jack, who had an inexplicable trust in strangers, but rather a complete lack of care about what would happen afterward.

It was as if she was certain that she was already bad enough, and would never experience anything worse.

Wen Xishu felt this was good, and felt it was very convenient. The opening location appeared in a bar, and the opening directly used Mysterious Tower props to cheat and ask about cause and effect.

This made Wen Xishu feel like he was playing a speedrun game.

What Wen Renjing couldn't do in seven days, perhaps he only needed a few glasses of wine to do.

Tang Rui said:

"So you will also harvest happiness?"

"Of course, I use the same glass as you; what will happen after drinking the wine, I don't know either. But fate let us meet; perhaps it will bring luck to each other in other seasons in the future."

Wen Xishu also poured himself a full glass of wine.

He didn't lie; there were two Truth Wine Glasses, one for him and one for Tang Rui.

However, Wen Xishu knew what the Tower of Desire world was all about. He didn't mind telling all his truths to a creature in the Tower of Desire.

Tang Rui said:

"How to play? Spin the bottle? Roll the dice?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"You pick the rules. Just one point, the faster the better."

Tang Rui inexplicably felt this was very exciting:

"Then roll the dice, guess odd or even. Odd I drink, even you drink."

"No problem."

Tang Rui asked the bartender for dice, and the two were no longer at the bar, but changed to a slightly quieter seat.

The last few days of life... Tang Rui really wanted to go crazy.

Wen Xishu liked this kind of extreme development, but he didn't know that although he would soon figure out the ins and outs of the story...

But this Tower of Desire trip would be bloodier than the Mysterious Tower trip; fortunately, he was the creator of the bloodiness.

(Tomorrow starts, and for several days after, the chapters should be considered the first small climax of the book. Familiar old readers should know, it's that kind of big chapter with a lot of words... although it hasn't been put on the shelves yet, I will explode all the chapters that should be exploded, I hope you don't raise the book during the new book period~ Thank you everyone.)
