Chapter 63: Proactively Working Overtime to Explore the Strange Tower
This room naturally cannot be dismantled, and the game will not be interrupted because of it.
【Alright, alright, I’ll shut up, you little zero-six-zero. The countdown begins, please, the next speaker~】
This information... is too explosive.
Although he knew that people at the Desire Tower Academy played very wild, Wen Xishu still felt that his imagination had been conservative. He had originally thought that some things only happened to sports stars; he didn't expect students at the Desire Tower Academy to love playing like this too.
Huo Erjina suddenly remembered that there was indeed a period when Wang Xia was suddenly hospitalized, registered under the proctology department.
Her gaze turned to Zhang Tingyao. Zhang Tingyao held his forehead, wanting nothing more than to leave this place quickly.
Wen Xishu, meanwhile, had already begun to think about how to use this information to gain benefits. The Capsized Cabin could indeed bring him wealth.
He also completely understood why no one else was willing to come here to stay permanently.
However, Wen Xishu still did not understand what exactly the wealth the guide spoke of was.
【Master, are you satisfied with Xiao Fan's performance? Actually, I haven't dug out the most sensational news yet, but I can modify the parameters at any time according to your instructions.】
Wen Xishu heard a voice that only he could hear.
Although the social function of this room was far inferior to a hospital, in a certain sense, this room truly belonged to him.
Others could enter this room to play, but only he would not be tricked by it.
Wen Xishu looked at Jiang Xue.
From the beginning, he had guessed that Jiang Xue coming here was very likely because she had been deceived by Huo Erjina.
As Jiang Xue's senior, Huo Erjina was different from that Luo Xian in the library; Luo Xian hated Jiang Xue openly and cursed her in her heart.
The reason was simple: in the eyes of such people, all the girls from the bottom rungs who were beautiful and admitted to the Desire Tower Academy were, just like herself, flashy sluts.
Actually, Huo Erjina thought the same, but Huo Erjina chose to approach Jiang Xue and get close to her. After learning that Wang Xia had already taken notice of Jiang Xue, she began to calculate how to help Wang Xia get his hands on her.
She knew the ways of those noble young masters at the Desire Tower Academy too well; they would never let go of their prey.
Rather than waiting for Wang Xia to grow tired of the new and yearn for the old, it was better for her to give a push to the boat, demonstrating her own foresight and added utility.
Jiang Xue originally did not know of Huo Erjina's intentions, thinking only that her senior was taking her boyfriend to the second floor of the bunker to experience new facilities.
But now, she understood.
It was very likely that after the experience, they would naturally find a place to eat and drink, and then some unspeakable things, common at the Desire Tower Academy, would happen.
So when the term "four-person bureau" appeared, Jiang Xue quickly wore an angry expression.
According to the game rules, it only counts as finished after everyone has spoken a round; at this moment, it was Jiang Xue's turn to speak, preparing to distance herself.
But Wen Xishu suddenly shook his head slightly, looking at Jiang Xue with a meaningful gaze.
Jiang Xue also noticed the gaze of this person named Wen Xun. She actually had a decent impression of Wen Xun. From initial disdain to discovering that Yue Yun, Wen Xun, and the other were actually a group and had worked together to prank Wang Xia, her impression had changed.
At this moment, Wen Xishu's slight head shake, combined with his eye signal... Jiang Xue suddenly understood.
These people indeed harbored foul, stinking secrets. She also knew that if she wanted to climb higher in the future, she would likely have to wallow in the mire with them.
But now, there was a very good opportunity.
The secrets you hold are actually a type of resource.
Jiang Xue said:
"Do not speak of this; I hope everyone can keep the secret. This place is called the Capsized Cabin, but if we do not betray each other and keep our mouths shut, then in the eyes of others, we are very taciturn friends who have withstood the test of the Capsized Cabin."
"Young Master Wang is a very sentimental person; although he is a bit unconventional, as you all have seen, he is generous to his friends. I think we can all be considered Young Master Wang's friends today."
"No one will tell Young Master Wang's secrets, right? Friends should help each other, shouldn't they?"
"Young Master Wang, you are also willing to help them, right? After all, you have the complete ability to do so."
Wen Xishu happened to be planning to test whether giving instructions to Xiao Fan required explicit language.
The reason he stopped Jiang Xue from expressing her anger was that he intended to help this girl. If Xiao Fan could understand, it would appropriately lower the game's intensity.
For a girl from the bottom rungs to go to the Desire Tower Academy does not seem like a good thing now. If viewed according to the traditional definition of a good girl that Wen Xishu held in his previous life, the children of Desire Tower were all suffering torture.
But for the strong who can let go of everything, these concepts are meaningless.
From Jiang Xue's eyes, he could roughly feel that this girl was a ruthless person. She could actually let go, but... if she didn't have to go that far, it would always be better.
It was just that gradually, she also realized that her brother's ability was very limited, and to gain respect, one had to have the resolve to discard their dignity.
Wen Xishu did not care about Jiang Xue's past; he just felt the girl was pleasing to the eye and helped her out of convenience.
The secrets Jiang Xue exposed seemed insignificant compared to the level of a violent storm. Wen Xishu was now certain that he could adjust the difficulty of this game at will.
Wang Xia was finally not too stupid:
"Yes... yes! This room talks nonsense; some things cannot be taken as true. Everyone, don't tell anyone! Don't tell anyone! I, Wang, will definitely reward you heavily!"
【Oh, it shouldn't have been your turn to speak, but since you answered out of turn, how could I not satisfy your desire~ What is your heavy reward? Is it messing with other people's wives~ Aha~ You have actually had contact with a distance of negative six centimeters with the girlfriends of sixteen male friends!】
【Their names are, respectively...】
"Enough! It's my turn to speak!" Huo Erjina said.
【Alright, alright, it's your turn, it's your turn. The word 'turn' is truly used wonderfully.】
Huo Erjina's face turned dark...
But compared to Wang Xia and Zhang Tingyao's earlier, she could accept it.
The difficulty of the game had already been lowered unknowingly.
Wen Xishu knew very well that the weight of secrets must have a limit.
Huo Erjina, along with Bai Xiaoyu and Zhang Tingyao, trying so hard to please Wang Xia, showed the gap in status between them.
You can know a little secret about a big shot's family, but if the secret is too important... then it becomes dangerous.
The one-hour pleasant journey finally ended.
Wang Xia, Zhang Tingyao, Huo Erjina, and Bai Xiaoyu had all exposed quite a few secrets, all of which were the kind that could cause social death and make them unable to lift their heads for a semester.
Wen Xishu and the others were the same, but secrets are different from secrets; their secrets were harmless.
Exposing a fetish and engaging in behavior that satisfies a fetish... those are two different things. The nature is completely different.
Because Wen Xishu did not want to involve too many secrets, the secrets exposed in this Capsized Cabin trip were all related to that business below the waist.
But in fact, the Capsized Cabin could do more than that.
The sensational things Wang Xia and these people had done were not limited to this aspect. But Wen Xishu was not interested in too many secrets. If a person does not become strong, they don't even have the qualifications to obtain secrets.
He only wanted to become strong quickly now.
After leaving the Capsized Cabin, Wen Xishu, Yue Yun, and Nisen parted ways with Wang Xia, Jiang Xue, and the others.
Wang Xia and the others still planned to stroll around the second floor of the bunker. And after experiencing the Capsized Cabin, Yue Yun and Nisen prepared to return to school to prepare for tomorrow's simulation class.
It is worth mentioning that before leaving the Capsized Cabin, A-Fan said:
【Welcome everyone to visit next time. As long as you can keep your mouths shut about everything here~ then next time you visit this room, I can lower the weight of your exposure~】
【Perhaps this room has seriously offended you~ but you can completely regain your face by offending others~】
These words gave Wen Xishu the urge to applaud. With such rules, no one would be willing to mention the specific content inside the Capsized Cabin.
Furthermore, it also guaranteed repeat customers.
In Wang Xia's mind, he instantly thought of those young masters whose status was on par with his Wang family. Next time, if he called these young masters over, he would be able to grasp quite a few secrets.
Almost everyone who left here had similar thoughts; the business of the Capsized Cabin would naturally not be bad.
On the ascending passage to the eighth floor, Yue Yun and Nisen both looked at Wen Xishu.
"Wen Xun, you have already explored the Slaughter Tower twice?" Yue Yun's eyes were sharp.
Wen Xishu raised his hand:
"If you want to treat me as your imaginary rival, that's not impossible, but I hope it is a healthy competition where we urge each other on."
Yue Yun nodded:
"Don't worry, your temperament is to my liking, and so is Nisen's."
Nisen laughed:
"Yeah~ I also treat you as good friends! Wen Xun, you are too amazing. Miyamoto Yoshi also only explored the Slaughter Tower a few times, but not counting those before entering the academy, strictly speaking, he only explored the Slaughter Tower once. Although his credits are ahead of ours, he is not ahead of you!"
Yue Yun also added:
"Keep it up, wait until the end of the term to slap Miyamoto Yoshi in the face. But don't slack off either, Wen Xun, I will surpass you!"
Sometimes, saying "I will work hard," "I will keep it up," and "I will surpass you" too much makes them feel pale and powerless.
But Yue Yun would not give Wen Xishu this feeling.
Wen Xishu was certain that Yue Yun was the type of person who kept his word; whether he could surpass him was hard to say, but he would definitely take action to surpass him.
"Good, screw the six great families, screw the Slaughter Tower clans; the three of us will definitely amaze everyone at the end of the term."
What Wen Xishu didn't say was that he was about to start his third round of the Strange Tower exploration journey.
These words would probably put some pressure on Yue Yun; he felt it was unnecessary, as Yue Yun already put enough pressure on himself.
As for that Miyamoto Yoshi, Wen Xishu didn't pay much attention to him. Exploring the Strange Tower itself was double credits, and his own frequency of exploring the Strange Tower would also increase starting today.
This was also what he was going to do next.
The eighth floor of the bunker, Three Towers Academy, Principal's office.
Although Albert was not there, Jia Baer was, and Wen Xishu remembered the location of the Principal's office. He applied to use the Principal's "Mysterious CEO Call," and Jia Baer did not stop him; Albert had already given instructions.
At the same time, Albert also had Jia Baer bring an item that came from Wen Renjing.
Wen Xishu had not yet checked what the item actually was, and he dialed Liu Jinsen’s number. According to the regulations, he had to report to Liu Jinsen every time he climbed the tower.
"Liu sir, this is Wen Xishu."
"Mm, go ahead and state your business."
Liu Jinsen’s style of skipping the pleasantries and getting straight to the point was something Wen Xishu liked very much.
"I want to explore the Ghost Tower, today."
Liu Jinsen suspected he had misheard and asked:
"Do you know what you’re saying? Are you crazy? How long has it been since you just got back from that hellhole?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Taking the initiative to work overtime, it’s nothing new. You see, both times I explored the Ghost Tower, I brought back incredible supplies."
"These supplies could be said to ensure everyone in the bunker has plenty of food and clothing in the short term; this is a good thing, you should be happy."
Liu Jinsen could not be happy; he knew full well the dangers of the Ghost Tower:
"You don't have to be so rushed, you only returned two days ago... logically speaking, you still have five days of rest. Besides, you previously seemed unclear about many common facts regarding the bunker and the three towers."
Wen Xishu said:
"Thanks for your concern, those problems are easily solved; I have already crammed the knowledge in that regard."
"Additionally, the originally scheduled frequency of tower climbing is too slow. I discovered that the login device records the number of times one explores the three towers; that watch-like thing has already changed from zero at the start to two."
"This indicates that the number of times I explore the three towers is public. I wanted to tell you that this number might change frequently in the short term."
Liu Jinsen was shocked. Could it be that Wen Xishu intended to climb the tower frantically in a short period?
"What are you trying to do?"
"I am an ambitious person. I want to become stronger, and I also love hoarding buildings. Climbing the Ghost Tower more than the agreement requires, Liu sir, there shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"
Wen Xishu was speaking the truth.
He had experienced the joy of these Level 6 facilities today. He could not wait to bring back as many Level 6 facilities as possible.
Liu Jinsen said:
"This... actually, there are currently no relevant regulations preventing people from climbing the tower. Especially the Ghost Tower, it is encouraged for everyone to climb it."
"If you want to climb the tower at a high frequency, I could originally accommodate you here."
"But the last time you climbed the tower, someone saw you team up with five people, including people from the bunker’s Administration Bureau, but the result was that four out of the five died, and the only one who survived disappeared mysteriously."
"This has caused some trouble. Wen Xishu, you should be clear that the enormous human resource costs the Security Bureau and the Administration Bureau paid to team up with you..."
Wen Xishu interrupted Liu Jinsen’s speech slightly and said innocently:
"The Ghost Tower is too dangerous. Liu sir, I am very law-abiding in the Ghost Tower. In the Ghost Tower, I made friends with them, told them they must love the bunker, love society, and build a harmonious home together; we forged a deep friendship in the Ghost Tower. I am very cooperative with the requirements from above..."
"But they all died, and I was powerless to help; I am just a weak, foolish member of the Wen family."
Liu Jinsen was silent for two seconds:
"Enough, enough. I can pretend to believe you, but the higher-ups won't. Now, under the majesty of Principal Albert, the Security Bureau and the Administration Bureau have agreed to let you move about the bunker like a free man."
"All facilities are open to you, and you will not face threats like interrogation."
"But you also know that all of this has a price. Every time you finish climbing the tower, you need to write a detailed tower-climbing report. This is also part of the agreement."
"Originally, you didn't need to write reports; after all, once a team is formed, there would be people observing you. But as you said, the Ghost Tower is very dangerous, and you are more... lucky than everyone imagined."
Liu Jinsen’s wording was quite polite. Wen Xishu was, of course, not lucky; he had indeed killed his "teammates" in the Ghost Tower.
This also led to the failure of the plan to observe Wen Xishu, at least the first attempt ended in failure. Thus, having no other choice, the higher-ups could only demand that Wen Xishu write a guide himself.
Wen Xishu laughed:
"That’s too simple, that’s not an issue at all. Don't worry, I can write a Ghost Tower guide in minutes, no cliffhangers, no delays."
"Is there anything else you need to remind me of?"
