Chapter 84: My Inviolable

~14 min read 2,694 words

Bunker, Eighth Floor. Three Towers Academy, Principal's Office.

The moment Wen Xishu woke up...

Jia Baer had already brewed hot tea and handed a hot towel to Wen Xishu:

"Hard work, hard work, student Wen, use the hot towel to wipe your hands. This is tea prepared for you. Mental fatigue is also fatigue."

"The principal will be back tomorrow. You have been gone for quite a long time this time. The principal will be very happy to communicate with you."

Wen Xishu's consciousness gradually cleared. He was a bit surprised; Jia Baer's service was simply thoughtful.

Had he been waiting here the whole time?

Or was it such a coincidence that he just happened to know he was coming back?

"I think, this time you must have brought back incredible facilities again?" Jia Baer asked with a smile.

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"There were none this time, just an ordinary Level 6 completion."

Jia Baer was slightly stunned. An ordinary Level 6 completion. What a niche combination of words.

It couldn't help but remind him of the principal and Mr. Jin in their early years.

Jia Baer smiled:

"Then I should congratulate you even more. A Level 6 completion without facilities means you obtained something more powerful than facilities. Regardless, please keep it safe and exert its value."

Wen Xishu found that Jia Baer really understood everything.

He happened to have a question to ask Jia Baer:

"The first time I climbed the tower, I was a person with a crime. The supplies I brought back at that time could save the entire bottom level. But I knew very well that I wouldn't obtain these supplies."

"The second time I climbed the tower, I didn't think about being able to bring back supplies either. After all, I needed to prove my value to some people in the academy."

"But this time, I want to know, these supplies... do they still not belong to me?"

Jia Baer understood what Wen Xishu meant.

Liu Jinsen had once told Wen Xishu that he had to save enough people to exchange for his own survival.

Now Wen Xishu believed that he had already done this. He could accept extra payment, but not again and again.

Although every time the reward for exploring the Three Towers, supplies were not the point; sequences, props, runes, and facilities were.

But supplies were the basic plate.

The Security Bureau couldn't keep embezzling his basic plate, right? The first two times, Wen Xishu needed to stand firm with his battle achievements.

After standing firm, he needed to take back some of his own things. He had to step by step unload the exploitation of himself by the Security Bureau and the Political Bureau.

Jia Baer said:

"Don't worry about this. Actually, when you first joined the Three Towers Academy, we had already started dealing with it."

"Not only the supplies this time, but the supplies from the first two times will not be missed."

Wen Xishu felt warm in his heart. He had originally planned to be tough and force the Three Towers Academy to negotiate with the Bunker's high-level officials.

But he didn't expect that the academy... or rather, the principal had already been doing this.

"We dare not guarantee that the supplies from the first two times can still belong to you in the form of supplies, because survival supplies are consumed very quickly, but the corresponding merit points will be credited to your account in the near future."

"When Bunker supplies are in surplus, they will be recycled. The Bunker has a special building that can reasonably dispose of surplus resources."

"This building was brought back by the principal and Mr. Jin many years ago. It was also after this building came out that the policy of exchanging supplies for merit points was introduced."

"Mr. Jin and the principal are close friends."

"After you joined the academy, the principal believed that the hospital you brought back was enough to redeem your sins. That thing is beneficial to the entire Bunker."

"And you extinguished the epidemic, which is even more meritorious. So the principal doesn't think you have any sins. The principal thinks you are a hero of the Bunker."

"Including this exploration, student Wen, don't worry, not a single merit point will be missing, all will be given to you."

"The Three Towers Academy is an institution independent of politics, but in terms of status, it is no less than the Political Bureau and the Security Bureau. No one can exploit the students of the Three Towers Academy."

"The principal has already instructed that all the rights that academy students and Bunker citizens can enjoy, you can enjoy. The principal will be your backer. And is willing to be your backer."

Wen Xishu didn't know what to say for a moment. The first time he climbed the tower, Wen Xishu could accept having everything taken away.

But he really didn't expect that he could accept it, but the principal wouldn't.

This old man was really overbearing. Overbearing in a way that made people like him.

But having said that, Jia Baer only said this now, presumably there was a default thing here—one had to prove one's value first.

He finally smiled:

"Thank you. I am very glad that I can have someone like the principal as a backer."

Jia Baer said:

"This is nothing. Actually, everything was earned by yourself. I hope you don't mind that we only valued you so much after you showed your value."

Wen Xishu didn't mind this point. He felt that this was reasonable. Otherwise, he would have to weigh why the academy did this.

Jia Baer continued:

"In addition, you haven't been here for the past two days, and alumnus Wen Renjing has also been putting pressure on the Security Bureau and the Political Bureau. Perhaps you won't need to worry about being monitored when exploring the Mysterious Tower soon."

Wen Xishu liked the academy more and more.

"Perhaps you need to make a phone call to Officer Liu? But no matter what, Officer Liu Jinsen will find a way to publicize it. I think the fact that you have achieved Level 6 completion three times in a row will definitely explode in popularity again," Jia Baer suggested.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Okay. Since the principal is not here today, can I make this call now?"

Jia Baer smiled:

"Please, I'll leave first."

Jia Baer left and closed the door. Wen Xishu dialed Liu Jinsen's phone. Just right, he had to tell Liu Jinsen that he was going to start climbing the tower again.

The call was connected, and Liu Jinsen was as straightforward as ever:

"Wen Xishu? Good, you speak, I'm listening."

"Officer Liu, I just finished exploring the Mysterious Tower, Level 6 completion. Didn't bring back facilities, but the harvest is not small, mainly reporting to you."

Liu Jinsen actually guessed that Wen Xishu's call was naturally returning successfully from the Mysterious Tower. But Level 6 again?

How could it be Level 6 again?

Was Level 6 something that was easy to achieve? He really found it hard to understand.

"You... um, you did very well. But this also increased my workload a little bit."

Wen Xishu became interested:

"What workload?"

Liu Jinsen sighed:

"You know, Sha Ruijing arranged a wild media outlet to promote your achievements..."

"Honestly, achieving Level 6 twice in a row and bringing back two facilities is already very outrageous. It's only been a few days... I have to tell them that you completed Level 6 for the third time, and they can't write it."

"Even web novels aren't written like this. The outrageous degree of your real deeds makes people who fabricate deeds feel it's too outrageous."

Wen Xishu was happy. Hearing this from the serious Officer Liu, he felt it was quite interesting.

Indeed, in his previous life, whether it was the founder of Xiaomi, or that real-life Iron Man Elon Musk, or that great demon king from South Korea in the e-sports league, the fate trajectories of these people were more outrageous than the protagonists in stories.

Stories pay attention to the beginning, development, climax, and ending, pay attention to having low valleys and bursts, but for some real cases—there are only bursts, like opening the heavenly eyes.

In ten days, exploring the Mysterious Tower three times, achieving Level 6 completion three times... Liu Jinsen felt it was unreal.

Wen Xishu said:

"Regarding the task report of this exploration, I will give it to you later, but don't worry too much, your team probably won't have a headache because I achieved Level 6 three times."

Liu Jinsen asked:

"How so?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"I plan to climb the tower tomorrow, so, how about later? Later, have a headache, what if it becomes four times in two days?"

Liu Jinsen: "..."

The phone almost hung up in Liu Jinsen's silence. After he calmed his emotions for a long time, he said:

"You plan to start climbing the tower again tomorrow?"

"Yes, there is nothing to do in the Bunker. It's a pity that I didn't bring back facilities this time, so I have to work hard."

Liu Jinsen was like a boss who originally felt guilty and told the employee that you must work overtime.

But now, he found that this employee was addicted to working overtime and lived directly in the company. Now it was his turn to panic; he was really afraid that this employee would die suddenly.

Wen Xishu gave him this feeling now.

"I, I'll remind you again, you can actually rest for seven days."

Hearing this sentence, Wen Xishu inexplicably wanted to laugh. He thought of the writer Yin Junchi.

Perhaps he was really distorted.

"Thank you, Officer Liu, I actually have another question besides reporting this."

"Ask."

"Can I go to the Slaughter Tower?"

Liu Jinsen said:

"Originally, it's not allowed. At least the procedures for changing towers are not that fast. But you are a student of the Slaughter Tower Academy, and you can't go to the Slaughter Tower, which really doesn't make sense. You might not know, Principal Albert went to the Family Planning Office yesterday."

"You can go to any tower except the Tower of Desire now, but you have to know one thing, everything in the Slaughter Tower is starting over..."

"And what are you going to the Slaughter Tower for? The attributes of the Slaughter Tower can't be brought to the Mysterious Tower."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"As long as I can go, where do I go to get the login device?"

Liu Jinsen really couldn't see through Wen Xishu. Undoubtedly, this second young master of the Wen family was clear-headed now and no longer the foolish and crazy appearance he was before.

But he always felt that Wen Xishu had become even crazier.

"Go find Sha Ruijing. Anything else?"

"No, Officer Liu."

The phone hung up. Wen Xishu hummed a little tune and left the principal's office.

The principal would only be back tomorrow. He had nothing to do now, so he planned to return to the dormitory, eat something, and take a bath.

……

……

Wen Xishu spent three days climbing the tower this time.

During these three days, something happened in the school. A sophomore named Zhang Wei made a sensational achievement in the academy.

This student, who was only a sophomore, updated the intelligence information about the boss-level monster, the Face-Stitched Man, in the "Slaughter Tower Monster Illustrated Book."

The general content was like this:

The original 21st-floor boss, the Face-Stitched Man, originally had two stages in the "Slaughter Tower Monster Illustrated Book" in the library.

The third stage was that there was a girl behind the Face-Stitched Man.

But in the original description, the girl was expressionless, like a puppet. Like a dead object.

No one knew what the third stage of the Face-Stitched Man would be, and they all guessed it was related to the girl.

Some said the girl had no life aura and must be a prop of the Face-Stitched Man.

Others said the girl was the main body, and the Face-Stitched Man was the prop...

But now, Zhang Wei's update had settled these guesses.

"The girl is alive. And the girl's hostility toward humans is actually not high!"

"All of this stems from a person named Wen Xishu. The girl is asking about Wen Xishu's whereabouts."

Zhang Wei told the sophomore class teacher of the Slaughter Tower Academy directly. The class teacher told the principal again.

To verify this, the principal went to the Slaughter Tower.

If everything was true, the description of the Face-Stitched Man in the "Slaughter Tower Monster Illustrated Book" would change a bit.

After Wen Xishu returned to the dormitory, he immediately heard Nisen talk about this.

This was the hottest thing in the academy for the past two days, because the legendary Wen Xishu seemed to have gone to the Slaughter Tower.

All monsters in the Slaughter Tower were hostile to humans.

But because of Wen Xishu, Zhang Wei was not only not attacked by the girl but was helped by the girl.

Wen Xishu himself knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.

In the earliest fate trajectory—Jack... perhaps really killed Jennifer. Jennifer and Jack were together forever. But Jack was lonely.

This also led to the non-interactability of Slaughter·Jack.

So in the "Slaughter Tower Monster Illustrated Book," Jennifer didn't move, like a puppet.

But as he went to the Tower of Desire and changed the fate trajectory, this also let Jennifer survive. He and Jack were simply a pair of twins supporting each other, quite similar to the An brothers.

So, the girl behind Jack was alive again.

"Bro, Wen Xishu is really cool, not only mysterious but also slaughtering! All students' idols are none other than him, except for that Miyamoto Yishu!"

Nisen shook his head and started his clumsy rap again.

Wen Xishu said:

"How did you play in the three days I was away? Besides Wen Xishu, did anything else interesting happen?"

Wang Yueyun said:

"I went to the Slaughter Tower, and Nisen and I, one on the third floor, one on the fifth floor."

"We both returned successfully."

Wen Xishu suddenly became energetic:

"Yo, this is too good, I haven't..."

Wen Xishu suddenly stopped.

In the Shipwreck Hut, Wang Yueyun and Nisen both thought he had been to the Slaughter Tower.

"Do you have Slaughter Tower sequences?"

Wang Yueyun shook his head:

"My luck is relatively poor, among the enemies I killed, none dropped Slaughter Tower sequences, we can currently only deal with some normal species."

"The probability of them dropping items is very low."

"However, Nisen and I are considered the earliest freshmen to enter the Slaughter Tower, besides Miyamoto Yishu. And you, Wen Xun. By the way, you disappeared for a few days, did you also climb the tower?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"Can't say, but don't worry, I think the three of us will have a chance to climb the tower together soon."

"The Slaughter Tower is a bit difficult for me. I might need a backer. Speaking of which, who do you think is the most reliable to lead a team to the Slaughter Tower in the academy?"

Wang Yueyun was puzzled. In the Shipwreck Hut, he remembered that Wen Xun had been to the Slaughter Tower. But for Wen Xun's question, he had an answer:

"In the academy... the most reliable one is naturally the number one in the Slaughter Tower, Xun Hui. But he won't pay attention to us freshmen. He is a well-known loner and never leads freshmen."

Wen Xishu felt that if his guess was correct... maybe there was a way to let Xun Hui lead the team. But this required him to have a good chat with Albert.

It was afternoon now. The principal would only be back tomorrow. Wen Xishu's magic resistance was higher now.

"Tonight, maybe I can get a little more information about the Mysterious Tower Academy."

(Try to start the next dungeon tomorrow.)
