Chapter 61: The Belonging Wen Xishu

~17 min read 3,232 words

The huge brass clover slowly stopped rotating. It was the same time.

It was still only for such a brief moment.

Wen Xishu wanted to come to the top floor of the library alone, but Wang Yueyun and Nisen were truly impossible to shake off.

So this time, the three of them arrived at the top floor of the library together.

Wang Yueyun stared at the shadow part; that door-like shadow was still unreadable, a piece of garbled code.

Having had the experience from last time, Nisen and Wang Yueyun both turned their heads at the same time, not letting their spirits be affected by negative emotions.

Wang Yueyun still noticed that Wen Xun's gaze was looking at the black interface. It seemed even deeper and more focused than last time.

He had become stronger. After taking that special course, he had become stronger!

Wang Yueyun was somewhat impacted internally. He never expected that even though he was training overloaded every day, he was still falling behind from the very beginning.

Nisen was very curious:

"Wen! Tell me quickly, what did you see this time?"

Wen Xishu also happened to withdraw his gaze at this moment.

After rubbing his temples, he slowly opened his mouth:

"Three more characters, two words."

Wang Yueyun urged:

"Don't keep us in suspense!"

Wen Xishu said:

"Dean, Headmaster."

Nisen and Wang Yueyun looked at each other. These two thought for a while, but still didn't understand.

The five characters from last time were: Master, Core, Most, Power, Purify.

This time, as Wen Xishu's anti-magic value increased to 14 points, he was able to interpret the two words "Dean" and "Headmaster".

Wang Yueyun said:

"As far as I know, the Dean and the Headmaster of the school are actually the same position. Occasionally, some people will call that legend the Old Dean."

"Or rather, the Dean of the Three Towers Academy. Wen Xun, what do you think?"

Wen Xishu said:

"It's very simple. The Dean is independent; the Headmaster is the Headmaster, and the Dean is the Dean."

"The Headmaster has more power and manages the entire Three Towers Academy, but... it is very likely that there should have been a Dean position."

What Wen Xishu didn't say was that he already believed this was the Mysterious Tower Academy.

The so-called secret treasure of the Three Towers Academy was very likely the Mysterious Tower Academy.

And how the Mysterious Tower Academy was opened, and who the Dean was... these secrets were temporarily unknown.

But Wen Xishu instantly had the desire to explore the secrets.

He thought of an extremely bold guess—

The first person to interpret all the secrets would become the Dean of the Mysterious Tower Academy.

Of course, there were too many combinations between the characters and words; it was very likely that the next time he stared at this shadow, he would have completely different thoughts.

However, Wen Xishu couldn't help but think that Wenren Jing hinted that he must establish a connection with Albert, a very solid connection.

Then—if he could become the Dean of the Mysterious Tower Academy, this connection would be deep enough, right?

Wen Xishu didn't think this idea was arrogant. After all, in this era without game thinking, he was fully capable of becoming a teacher and a Dean, rather than a student.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this was to explore the Mysterious Tower more. Wen Xishu decided to take the initiative to shorten the time interval and contact Liu Jinsen to explore the Mysterious Tower in advance.

"Let's go, we should go back. The decryption for this time ends here."

Wen Xishu prepared to go back.

Wang Yueyun said:

"Your progress is too fast, Wen Xun. Can you reveal your special course? Or... I can even take you as my master; I want to become stronger."

These words from the King of Pretending actually surprised Wen Xishu somewhat. This person was truly strong to the bone.

But this was a true desire to become stronger, for which he could put down his dignity.

Wen Xishu quite liked this kind of person. People with this kind of personality, as long as they weren't too stupid, could accomplish great things.

Nisen also looked at Wang Yueyun in surprise, and then, Nisen smiled:

"If possible, count me in too!"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"You will know at the midterm. If you are still willing to learn from me after you know at the midterm, I will teach you without reservation. I promise."

"But not now. If I say it now, I will face some trouble."

Wang Yueyun watched Wen Xishu for a long time without speaking, and then he nodded and stood up.

Nisen also stood up:

"Go go go, let's go home to sleep. After tomorrow's theoretical knowledge class is finished, we can go to the Shipwreck Cabin to see!"

Wang Yueyun and Nisen walked in front. The three of them still arrived at the top floor of the library in a gecko-wall-climbing way, and when they went back, they also returned from the library's exterior facade with extremely dangerous movements.

However, Wang Yueyun's physical fitness had clearly improved somewhat, and he was already on par with Nisen.

Wen Xishu saw it in his eyes, and there was a very strange feeling in his heart.

Deep down, he still didn't trust Wang Yueyun and Nisen, but thinking that these two would continuously become stronger, he actually had some expectations that one day they would become famous in the Bunker.

The next day.

At noon, after finishing class, Wen Xishu, Wang Yueyun, and Nisen had already opened a leave note and applied to go to the second floor.

Students of the Three Towers Academy were not allowed to leave the academy easily. If they left the academy, they had to go through exit procedures.

Generally speaking, the leave notes of the Slaughter Tower Academy were not easy to approve. After all, the students of the Slaughter Tower Academy had no background, and most of them liked to solve problems with violence. They had to have a very legitimate reason to be able to leave the academy.

Wang Yueyun and Nisen actually had such reasons, but they didn't use them.

Because Wen Xun was actually given a green light all the way. The teacher in charge of approval approved it without a word as soon as he heard that the person asking for leave was named Wen Xun.

This made Wang Yueyun and Nisen both think that Wen Xishu was some kind of noble child.

Wen Xishu didn't explain much, and soon, together with the two, he took the descending passage and headed to the second floor of the Bunker.

There were quite a few dignitaries in the descending passage.

There were students from the Tower of Desire Academy, as well as some wealthy businessmen and socialites. Everyone seemed to be descending the levels for the same purpose.

This also made Wang Yueyun, Wen Xishu, and Nisen all very expectant.

The second floor of the Bunker, the functional floor.

Ever since the Level 6 hospital appeared on the second floor of the Bunker, the frequency of people from the upper levels going to the lower levels had increased quite a bit.

In a sense, this was a good thing, deepening the understanding of the lower-level people by the upper-level people. It wouldn't reach the point where the upper levels didn't hear the voices of the lower levels.

But to a greater extent, it also deepened the conflict.

At least, the undisguised disdain from the upper levels made many lower-level people hold their breath.

However, in the past few days, these conflicts had been temporarily suppressed.

Because of Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu brought life-saving facilities for the first time and entertainment facilities for the second time. The interval between the two times was very short. Coupled with the secondary-creation hype of the Japanese team hired by Sha Ruijing, his reputation was heading towards god-making.

After Wen Xishu and the three arrived at the second floor of the Bunker, they all saw many people holding small colorful flags engraved with the word "Wen". They looked smug, as if they regarded that as some kind of amulet.

There would also be some people on the side of the road holding flyers, and whenever someone passed by, they would say very politely:

"Excuse me, is it convenient to take a little of your time to learn about the new legend of the Bunker, Mr. Wen Xishu?"

In the stalls everywhere, vendors were selling novels about Wen Xishu. Albert liked to read novels created by lower-level novelists very much. Nowadays, the hot topic of novels was fan fiction about Wen Xishu.

Walking on the streets of the second floor of the Bunker, one could see three or five people gathered together at any time, discussing who was more powerful, Xun Hui or Wen Xishu, and discussing how many floors Wen Xishu had reached in the Mysterious Tower.

Wen Xishu's popularity did not stop there. Everything was just what could be seen on the surface. In all the indoor facilities on the second floor of the Bunker's functional floor, almost half of the people were discussing Wen Xishu.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yueyun sighed:

"This is truly a genius who appeared out of nowhere. He is not in the Three Towers Academy, and he had no reputation before. It really makes people's blood boil."

Nisen didn't speak, because he had already started dancing awkwardly with passersby, expressing his love for Wen Xishu.

The most awkward one was naturally Wen Xishu himself.

He understood even more that with such great fame, once he was put on a pedestal, what kind of double-edged sword it would be.

"Wen Xun, one should be like this. Although you are strong, you still have a gap with Wen Xishu. You must not be complacent either. I am not as good as you, but one day I will surpass you, and I will also surpass him!"

Wang Yueyun clenched his fist.

Wen Xishu's fingers trembled slightly. Brother, your energy of being able to be fierce anytime, anywhere, saying "I want to struggle, I want to become stronger, I want to work hard" is worthy of praise, but this behavior is truly done...

That is not ordinary awkwardness.

Wen Xishu truly underestimated his popularity. Fortunately, they walked very fast, and before long, they arrived outside the Shipwreck Cabin.

The Shipwreck Cabin had a long queue. Its nickname here was now "The Cabin of Broken Families".

As the name suggests, few people who came to the Shipwreck Cabin could walk out smiling. But people just loved to go. Those who had been there would go once and not say a word, nor would they say what it was like inside, but they just didn't look very good.

But if you asked them if it was worth going, they would definitely say it was worth a visit.

In short, the Shipwreck Cabin was a very standard Mysterious Tower system facility, which led many people to want to explore it.

"This queue is too long, bro. We have to queue for an hour just to queue." Nisen complained.

Not long after they arrived here, many people appeared behind them. Nisen said:

"I just asked people on the side of the road. The Shipwreck Cabin seems to have some kind of superpower. It is best to go in with more people. The more people, the happier it is."

"If two people go in, they will likely fall out. If three people go in, it is very likely to be a three-way melee..."

"But if a group of people go in, it seems it will be very interesting. Bro, should we team up with others?"

Nisen looked at Wen Xun.

In Nisen's eyes, Wen Xun was the leader of the three.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment. He decided to be safer. The more people, the happier, the fewer, the more intense... This mechanism made him guess the possible effect of the Shipwreck Cabin.

So Wen Xishu raised his hand:

"Are there any students from the Three Towers Academy who want to team up? Let's go in together?"

He shouted this, and there were really a few people behind who responded.

"Oh? Are there any classmates already queuing in front? That's great, let's go together!"

The person speaking was a female voice.

Nisen turned his head and saw three women and two men, all students from the Tower of Desire Academy. Because only students from the Tower of Desire Academy, just like students in some schools in Wen Xishu's previous life, especially loved to show their identity.

The identity of a student of the Tower of Desire Academy was itself approximately equal to being a superior person. These few students, three women and two men, all wore school badges.

Nisen had the sharpest eyes and found that these three women were quite beautiful, especially the third one, whom he had seen in the cafeteria. The two men were more mediocre in comparison and not as handsome as Wang Yueyun and Wen Xun.

Nisen regarded it as a social gathering for young people, thinking about whether to let Wen Xun and Wang Yueyun hook up with the girls. Although he didn't look good, he could be a wingman.

This was definitely treating Wang Yueyun and Wen Xun as true brothers. However, Wang Yueyun and Wen Xishu didn't have this idea.

"Two men, brought out three women. If this were in the Slaughter Tower Academy, it wouldn't be anything, but in the Tower of Desire Academy, it's hard to say."

Wang Yueyun was rarely gossipy.

Wen Xishu found that one of the girls looked quite familiar. He immediately remembered that the girl had once detonated the mental barrage of another senior sister.

Right in the library, she was scolded by a senior sister from the Tower of Desire Academy as a slut or something.

Wen Xishu suddenly became interested:

"Come, come, welcome, welcome."

Several students from the Three Towers Academy attracted the attention of many people. Nisen and Wang Yueyun were not used to it for a while.

But the students from the Tower of Desire Academy all enjoyed such focus. Except for the girl Wen Xishu found familiar.

That girl was very calm, with no joy or sorrow on her face, as if she was just here to go shopping.

Since several people wanted to team up and go in together, it didn't count as cutting the line. Soon, these students from the Tower of Desire Academy came to the position where Wen Xishu and the three were.

The two men were not very tall.

One looked like he wasn't even 1.6 meters tall, wearing shorts and short sleeves, very casual, and dyed a head of yellow hair.

The other looked like the yellow-haired one's follower, and the tone of his communication with the yellow-haired one was very flattering, but he looked quite scholarly, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Learning that Wen Xishu and the three were from the Slaughter Tower Academy, although the yellow-haired one didn't show contempt, he clearly didn't respect them much either, and said this:

"It's okay, we're out to play, we're all classmates, don't feel inferior, at this moment we are equal."

These words almost detonated Wang Yueyun and Nisen, but Wen Xishu acted contrary to his usual behavior and said very politely:

"It is our honor to be able to play with you. I hope we can have a good time."

The yellow-haired one also regarded himself as the big brother in the crowd and patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder:

"You kid are quite sensible."

Wen Xishu turned his head and gave Wang Yueyun and Nisen a hint with his eyes. It was strange to say, although the three had only known each other for a short time, they were quite tacit. Wang Yueyun and Nisen immediately understood Wen Xishu's idea.

Don't make trouble outside, make reasonable trouble after entering the Shipwreck Cabin.

Wang Yueyun suddenly felt not angry anymore.

Several people communicated and got to know each other.

The yellow-haired one was named Wang Xia. The reason he was so arrogant was that his father was the Wang officer of the Bunker Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The yellow-haired one's follower was named Zhang Tingyao. His background was actually not bad, but there was still a big gap with Wang Xia.

The three women were Wang Xia's girlfriend Huo Erjina, Zhang Tingyao's girlfriend Bai Xiaoyu, and the Tower of Desire Academy freshman from the lower level, Jiang Xue.

For the next half hour, the group of eight were all queuing. During this process, Jiang Xue almost didn't say a word.

Wang Yueyun and Nisen didn't say much either. Wen Xishu and Zhang Tingyao were definitely two excellent supporting actors, constantly cooperating with the yellow-haired Wang Xia.

Wang Xia had been showing off, blowing about the awesome things he had done in the past. Except for Wen Xishu and Zhang Tingyao, Wang Xia's girlfriend was also constantly praising Wang Xia, looking incomparably happy.

However, Huo Erjina, this woman with bear bloodline, was basically communicating with Bai Xiaoyu, and their words were also said for Jiang Xue to hear.

Wen Xishu also saw why the out-of-place Jiang Xue would appear here.

During the queuing process, people would retreat from the room from time to time. Some had excitement on their faces from hearing explosive news, and some had anger and shame from having their secrets exposed.

But not a single person would reveal what happened inside the Shipwreck Cabin.

At this time, Wen Xishu and the others finally finished queuing.

Unlike the anxiety and curiosity of others, Wen Xishu had more anticipation in his heart.

He could guess that the Shipwreck Cabin might be a place that could expose secrets. Entering here rashly was extremely stupid.

But the reason why so many people entered was probably that people were naturally gossipy and liked to peek at other people's secrets.

Wen Xishu knew very well that he shouldn't have come.

He also knew very well that entering the Shipwreck Cabin with Wang Xia and the others, who would shipwreck with whom in the end, was really hard to say.

But he still held back Wang Yueyun and Nisen.

Because just when Wen Xishu was queuing, he had already heard the prompt.

【Oh~ my master, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. I didn't expect you to visit the Shipwreck Cabin in person. I have already started thinking about what I can arrange for you, hehe.】

What was different from others was...

Wen Xishu was not a tourist, but a belonging person. This shipwreck journey was destined not to affect him.

Wen Xishu made an inviting gesture:

"Young Master Wang, Senior Zhang, Senior Sister Huo Erjina, and Senior Sister Bai, as well as classmate Jiang Xue, welcome to the Shipwreck Cabin."

He was like a master inviting guests, and the smile on his face was very bright.

Wang Xia just thought that this Slaughter Tower Academy freshman named Wen Xun was trying to curry favor with him and didn't notice anything wrong.

He didn't know yet what kind of social death hell he was about to suffer.
